Thanks for the help if you have it.
I have a Inspire 4G that I rooted a while back from my laptop at home. Since then when I plug my phone into my laptop via USB , nothing happens, it only charges.
However, when I bring my phone to work and plug it in, it gives me the option to select "mass storage" which is what I want to do when I'm at home.
I googled some help and was told to download the latest HTC Sync and all the drivers to my laptop at home and it still won't recognize the phone.
Any ideas?
If you check out this video: youtube.com/watch?v=fXtZIQ-RHik, it may help to go into settings->Phone Storage-> and Toggle "Mass Storage Only" on and off.
Hope this helps!

I've had my g1 for about 2 weeks. I have root. I have the RC33 update. I was able to connect to a pc after this update then one day I tried to get this song off of the computer so I plugged in the phone and it said "found new hardware"....I have tried everything different pc's different usb ports,different storage cards,....I tried the anycut app method....failed on one pc it opened on my laptop and then shut off again....I've soft reset,hard reset...removd the card and put it back in...no luck...any one with the answer please help...I will love you long time!
And the pc does recognize the phone is plugged up because its charging...
Hi,
Found new hardware means it was trying to install the usb drivers for your g1.
If this was not done correctly, than several things won't work like adb.
So that's what that message is.
But unplug your phone and go into settings, applications, development uncheck the box that says usb debugging,
Exit out and connect your cable, mount you drive and you can transfer files back and forth again.
Ok I did that but the box was already unchecked...so I plugged up the phone...and nothing happens so I check the box and the g1 acknowleded the pc and vise versa....and the installation wizard is for Android Phone...and is asking for an installation disk...so now I'm back to square 1...
Once you have plugged in the USB cable and Windows has recognized your phone (i.e. no new hardware found dialog anymore), you need to pull down the notification bar of the G1 and click on "connected to USB" or something along those lines. The phone will then give you an option to mount the SD card for read/write over the USB cable.
I read the similar threads with no luck so I'm hoping someone can help me..
I just unrooted my Evo to apply the newest update today (2.3.3) But now, all of a sudden, when I connect through usb, my computer won't see my phone (well kinda). It charges when plugged in, and when I go to My Computer it brings up a new drive, but when I click it it says: "Please insert a disc into drive E"... But there is no icon on the drop down menu giving me the option to; charge only, htc sync, disk drive, usb tethering.. And when I go into Settings<Connect to PC it shows me the options but no matter what I click it still only charges. It was working fine this morning before I unrooted.. Anyone know how to fix this?
Anyone know a fix for this?
I upgraded to Sky-ICS RC7.4 Speed yesterday and today. Obviously the USB mass storage was working earlier because I got the .zip file for the upgrade on the phone. Well, just a little while ago I tried to connect so I could pull those zip files off just to save some room and it won't connect.
I can charge the phone, the laptop(Windows 7) and the phone both make sound/vibrate when connected. BUT, with I go to "Connect storage to PC" it tells me to unplug the cable, which it hasn't before but I did it anyway. I unplug the cable press the connect button again it states to connect the cable, I do. Press the button to connect and I get the same result. I've tried enable USB debugging and try again and it states to disable, blah blah blah.
It's great that I can charge the phone via USB all day long but really sucky that I can't access any of my files via my laptop.
Anyone had this issue or know of any fixes that may alleviate this issue? I sure would appreciate your help.
FYI, USB drivers are installed on the laptop and reapplied after the the issue of not being able to connect USB mass storage...
update: I am able to see the two mounts in computer management on my Windows 7 machine but not able to access them through My Computer.
I was reading from other threads about a possible Windows issue, how I find it unlikely, but I did a system restore from an earlier date and that made no difference. It's still a matter of the phone connecting completely to the pc.
Also tried different ports and usb cables, no avail.
I could really use some input so that if need be I can access the files on the phone to either flash back to stock or at least modify the files I have on there now to let me be able to attach my mass storage. I'm liking the the rom it's just a few little things like this that are making me completely love it.
i have the same issue if i plug in to the front usb ports. no problems with the back and its only been since i updated to seans latest speed stripped ICS rom
I was having the same issues. I turned the phone off, took the battery out, and then restarted it. It worked.

Correct; you need to reboot your phone because you probably connected / disconnected too fast and the phone is bugged out now.
I'm on 7.4 speed stripped and its working fine for me. Did you try installing the Samsung USB drivers exe in the dev forum?

Hello.
Short story: my phone was a little wet and i have some issues with it, mostly i want to get a mass storage to get working. (cant root)
Basically at first the phone didn't even want to charge, when i connected it to the PC windows was giving me an error that the device cannot be recognized, and couldn't install the drivers. (i had Kies installed)
I dried it completely, now the phone turns on without any problem, when i connect it to the pc the phone is recognizing connection (i hear sound + the button backlights are firing up for a sec)
Homever, windows is not detecting any USB device at all, and in about phone/info it says the phone is connected to the AC instead of USB.
When i connect it with USB there is no dropdown in notification to choose from charging, storage etc.
There is also manual usb storage mounting under settings/communication/usb settings , when i'm trying to mount here it just says to connect the phone with usb cable (not detecting connection, homever the backlight + sound is here after connecting, and it's charging)
I tried connecting it with usb debugging on/off even tried to fiddle with in service menu (*#7284#) but nothing.
And since i cannot get the usb storage working basically i cannot flash anything or root it.
Also the USB cable is not a Samsung but an HTC one, could this be a problem? (people in different thread said those cables are the same so it shouldnt be a problem, same amperage, same stick etc.)
Even tried to install MountUSB Widget from market, but it doesn't work when im trying to start the app it's force closing, when i make widget on desktop and press it the phone just vibrate for 1 sec and nothing happens.
When i connect phone with Kies AIR and it works, i mean it shows the storage information, also recognize the phone model correctly, how much free space i have on internal and on SD card but i cannot click "show in explorer" it's greyed out.
Any experts out there could help me? :crying:
Just a blind guess, try a USB cable which supports your device. If it doesn't help, I'm afraid it's a hardware problem and you will have to consult some hardware expert.
Hey guys,
I'm trying to root my blaze so i can go from gingerbread to CM10, however i noticed my phone's mass storage function isnt even turning on... and obviously i cant run ODIN without my computer recognizing the phone. I tried turning debugging mode both on and off, etc.
When i plug the usb cable from phone to computer, it only charges. There's no setting in the pull-down menu saying anything about mass storage, no usb icon on top, that whole (software) part of the phone seems to be missing. I just bought this thing unlocked.. its not rooted and i did a hard reset as well.
When i go into settings/ wireless/ usb utilities, i see the mass storage button. It says Connect storage to PC. if my usb cable is plugged in, it says "USB is connected. Remove the cable." If its not connected and i hit the button, it says "please connect cable" and once i plug it in, nothing happens but charging. Any ideas? Can i root using kies?
Thanks for the help!

You can't root via kies. But you can upgrade to ICS via kies and see if that helps. Provided kies recognizes your phone... Otherwise, I know very little about GB since I immediately upgraded to ICS upon purchasing my Blaze.
Have you seen mobileodin?

@ njstein, I see the update now that you mentioned it, although it looks like the update is no longer provided? Check out these links, the samsung site link is broken for tmobile blaze, and the tmobile site link shows in the info box on top that the upgrades were only being provided until March 5? *I put a space between the .com on the links because i'm not allowed to post links yet*

@ Somcom3X, I'll see if i can find threads on this forum about mobileodin. I think if i can just root the damn thing to bring it up to CM10 the rom should include usb cable software, correct?
I'll see if I can make something happen. Thanks for the tips guys.
@njstein On that tmobile link i put up, it says that software version T769UVLF5 wont receive the update because it is up to date??? That makes no sense as i'm on that version running GB. Are they trying to say that for whatever reason my phone cant do the upgrade? One thing after the next..

It appears only the model 9000s galaxy S is compatible with mobile odin, i dont see anything about the blaze. I couldnt post a message on the mobile odin thread due to low post count. I also read that your phone must be rooted to be able to use mobile odin. Do you guys have any other ideas how i can root my phone without a usb cable?
