Turn on USB debugging. Usually helps me. Then turn on mass storage. It might take a while to connect. If that doesn't work there are a couple other things you could try.

If push comes to shove, you can always mount the SD card in recovery.

[Q] Why can't i connect using the usb?

Well guys i have a big problem. Its shouldn't be that big considering its a connection problem, but i can't seem to be able to fix it. I've been trying to connect to my laptop/desktop using the supplied micro usb and a blackberry micro usb, but it won't let me transfer files. the option to turn on storage doesn't even pop up on the notifications. it charges but thats it. i have all necessary drivers and the USB debugging option is checked. Any info or help would be welcome thanks!!
What O/S are you using?
I had the same problem. No one gave me a problem solving answer

Mine wouldn't connect until i reinstalled the LG T-Mobile G2x drivers and now it mounts every time. The drivers in the updater tool installed the 3.2.1 drivers which is for the G-slate. You need the 2.2 drivers which are for the G2x, if you need them just pm me and i can send them to you.
i deleted and reinstalled the 2.2 drivers with no success. im starting to think there's something wrong with my phone. But it could also be that i'm now running the Gingerbread leak from yesterday. rooted and working perfectly... well almost. i just need to get usb connection working.
Similar issue. This worked for me on Win 7.
Uninstall the LG Drivers and reinstall the G2x 2.2 package from LG.COM /us/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp (I can't post links)
Plug the phone in and go to Device Manager. There should be a USB Composite Device that is not properly installed. Right click it and select Update Driver Software.
Select 'Browse my computer', then 'Let me pick'. Choose have disk, and browse to where the LG Drivers are installed. Likely C:\Program Files\LG Electronics\LG United Mobile Driver\ and select lgbus9x.inf.
Then pick LGE Android Platform Composite USB Device from the list of drivers. Should be the top option. Hit next.
I let it sit for a minute while the drivers installed. Some things registered in device manager right away, the LGE USB Modem for one. But, the drives didn't. Unplugged the phone, plugged it back in, and the drives popped up under Portable Devices.
@conspirator_boff i tried ur steps, but i couldn't find the USB Composite Device in the list of the USB Controllers in Device manager. Am i missing a step?
Humm, depending how it is connected it could have a different name. Do you have anything that isn't installed properly?
Also, if you haven't, you might want to look into mother board / system driver updates.
I'm in exactly the same boat. Running on Win 7 64 bit.. tried both 2.3 and 2.2 drivers but no luck. It doesn't get detected AT ALL. Tried with 3 different USB Cable on 3 different ports. I can connect other phones to the same port/cable without any issues.
I suspect there is actually something wrong with the phone or with a specific batch of phones. I googled around and read about a couple (husband and wife) who connected both their G2x's to the same computer on the same port/cable 1 at a time. One always worked, and the other never worked. I believe he eventually returned it and got a new one which worked fine.
We may have ended up with the ones from a bad batch?

Hmm interesting. I can't say the same for mine since this was the very first time I actually connected it up to the computer. Mine is completely stock and I bought it at launch.
Just to give you guys an update:
I took my G2x to a local T-Mobile store. They tested my phone out on their own computers and it did not mount via USB. They ordered a replacement phone so it is actually an issue for some people and not drivers/system setup. Apparently I was the 3rd case that the store had encountered.
Mine wouldn't connect until i turned USB debugging on, now it connects every time. Might give that a try.

[Q] Display going bad on my Infuse 4G

Hi to all this morning,
I spoke to the local AT&T manager about my phone. The lock screen numbers and letters are "burned" on to my screen. Every time I go to a "light backround, I can see the month, time and "phone locked". The manager told me to call AT&T service. I called the 800 number and was told I have to do a "hard reset" on my phone for the warranty procedure. I have an "unlocked", "rooted" phone. Will a hard reset unroot and lock my phone?
Do I have to "unroot" and "lock" my phone before calling them back?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Jim
Before u return the phone to store, I would strongly recommend restoring to how it was when you got it (stock).

I assume that you are using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251 one.
I had to use this a whole bunch of times when I just started flashing and though it worked really well the first time after that it started to not work as well. Switch your USB ports that you plug your phone into. This will make it show up in a different are other than just COMM 9. If you cannot get it to work in any USB try a different computer, leave it sitting there for a long time. I don't think that it really had anything to do with my eventual sucess but after just leaving the battery out and the cord plugged into nothing made it work. Just telling you my experience. I hope that you are able to figure out what is wrong and flash back to stock before your screen gets any worse!
So you tried to odin back to stock and it doesn't work?

No problem. Glad that I could help. And do push the issue. Right to the manager if they still won't take it. Or you could try calling them and eventually you will find one rep who is willing to push it through. Either they will be dumb and don't know what they are doing or they will know where you are coming from and help get it returned. If not, and you are still under warranty you might be able to send it back to Samsung and see what they will do about it. Good luck!
i believe if its under 30 days they take it back on the spot and exchange it for you.. if not they might ask you if you have insurance on you phone and send it out to a authorized ATT repair store... just my expierience...

USB Storage can't be turned on

So I got an incident with my phone, if you wanna now about it, its at my sig, but the thing is that I dunno why or how, sometimes my computer does recognizes my phone and display the Turn on USB storage option at the notification bar, but each time I try to turn it on it just wont work. Attached is a logcat whenI try to enable it, maybe someone could tell me why it wont work.

Normally I got two nandroids a GB based one and an ICS based one, right now Im using both Eagle's Blood 2.3.7 v2.8 and ICS 4.0.3 Build 1. But I had this problem since... always. I'm a flashaholic so i have tested actually every rom from stock 2.2.2 to beta 4.0.3... I even have a nandroid of my original ROM (the one that came with it when y bought it and rooted it) and not even there works. The only clue i have right now is that only if I disable USB debugging it will randomly connect.
This may sound dumb but have you tried a different usb cable? I had the same problem and tried my girls and my phone was able to connect each and every time. another thing I noticed with my phone is that it sometimes won't connect using windows 7...xp no problem but 7 it plays hard to get.

Did you ever figure this out? Sounds like your having the same problem that i am.
I've tried at least 6 different cables, home PC, work PC, laptop and a co-worker's PC that didn't have anything vmware installed (had a hunch that vmware usb drivers were the cause). Oh, all the computers were win7x64.
I've only rooted my phone and upgraded to 2.3.3 so nothing crazy going on there and it's worked for months since i did both of those.
I have a feeling that this may have been a recent windows update, but no clue when or which one because i haven't really cared that it didn't work. If i had to guess i'd say mine stopped working about 3 months ago... again, hard to remember.

Make sure usb debugging is turned off.
Plug in the phone, enable usb storage.
Right click on the phone drives in the explorer and click on eject.
Turn off usb storage.
Unplug and plug in again.
Enable usb storage.
Drives should work now.
This did it for me. Since then if I remember to eject before unplug I haven't seen any issues.

I had the same problem. Dirt in the mini-USB port can cause that problem.
Take a can of compressed air and blow it into the mini-USB port (blowing with your mouth isn't enough). Also, take a close look at the port with a magnifying glass and look for any dirt or discoloration in there.
Do the same with your cable.

Hi, this problem occur to me after I've installed RemICS 1.3.2 ROM (CM9 based), I did follow the installation steps from beginning, when the problem occur, I did re-flash the same ROM several times, but this problem still unsolved.
I did try all recommendations (blow out dirt, disable usb debugging etc) but still not success.
This ROM should able to detect USB when phone connected with PC, but somehow I don't know why. Any experts recommendation?

Ok, I just found the problem. I can hear now the tone of PC detected USB when plugged-in, and I update the driver. then Voila!!

Hey, just thought I'd register an account because I stumbled upon this thread because I had the same issue verbatim and I managed to get it working.
I ended up using the USB 3.0 ports on my desktop and suddenly it picks up my g2x without fail everytime. With that said, I'm lead to believe that perhaps its an issue of power. Maybe the USB 2.0 ports you're using simply aren't providing enough power. Not sure what its worth or if my issue was something unrelated but maybe that bit of information is something to work with. =)
Found another solution that fixed the problem for me.
If you are using Windows XP, log on as an Administrator and open Device Manager
Select View > Show Hidden Devices
Scroll down to Storage Volumes, and expand
Right-click on each entry and select Update Driver.
This fixed the problem for me!

Skyrocket usb error

Hi everyone, this is my first post requesting help.
My skyrocket charges with the usb port but wont connect. I tried a darkside wipe, format of system data cache emmc and reflashing many roms. I want to use odin and try to use stock.recovery and rom to see if it works. I enter download mode and it still wont connect. I reinstalled kies and still doesnt work. Its not my computer cause my t989 galaxy s2 connects and these two phones are nearly identical.
Running ics real thing 4.2 v9 cwm touch by realsk8tr
If possible, try another computer.
I have the same problem with mine. This is a new problem that just started a couple weeks ago. Mine seems to be a hardware problem since it won't recognize USB connection in CWM, Odin, the stock rom, or my current Sky ICS rom.
I'll flash back to stock and send it back for warranty repair once I get another phone to use. I have a contract renewal coming up in May, so I'll do something then (I bought this one off contract, so I have to send it to Samsung)
Its a real pain because I have to transfer everything wirelessly between to/from my laptop.

It is a new problem that occured after using the ics leak. I cant believe there isnt a solution. Can you link me to a zip method that will return me to stock GB without the use of odin? And can i send my skyrocket in for warranty replacement? I never got insurance on it, i brought it in november from att nyc. This skyrocket also gets dev/block errors upon format. Any ideas guys?

Mine happened while I was still stock/rooted. I had changed nothing for several weeks. It just stopped recognizing when it was connected to USB. I have tested on multiple computers and tested another sgs2 on my laptop. The problem is definitely with my phone. No other computers recognize my phone is connected, phone won't mount USB, etc. Yet other phones work fine when connecting to my laptop.
I even flashed back to stock GB 2.3.5 , etc. Its not an ICS issue since this happened prior to flashing ICS (it actually went tits up in March prior to the leak).
I have a GB 2.3.5 Nandroid backup I'll flash before sending it to Samsung.
Samsung warranty is good for one year. AT&T will only do a 30 day exchange type warranty. Anything after 30 days has to go back to Samsung repair.
My only concern is without a USB connection I can't flash to the stock recovery. I can flash to stock GB and unroot and clean it up on the ROM side, but it will still have CWM recovery. Oh well.
The way I see it this is definitely a hardware issue. Samsung should fix the hardware problem regardless of the recovery software.

I guess I should have stated I have tried about 6 different cords.... I am a Systems Admin, so I've tried all the obvious fixes. It just absolutely will not recognize a USB connection anymore. Also, none of the computers recognize that a USB device has been connected.
It's definitely something wrong with the USB on the device.

I did flash the note modem once maybe my efs is corrupt
No, it's not that. It's hardware. It's almost certainly a cold solder joint. Must be a bad batch of I727s out there, mine's doing the same thing.
Sunday, I had a 30 minute call. After, I noticed the phone would charge, but couldn't get the computer to see it as a USB device. Last night, after an hour long call, I tried it and it worked. Managed to get it into download mode, flashed the stock .tar with ODIN, and got back to stock. About five minutes after that it started failing again (charging but not connecting, etc).
I'm using my T989 as a charger. If you can find a way to charge the battery, what I'm testing now might work. [EDIT: I re-read the OP and you have a T989 as well so you're set!] I'll post back. I set up a call to a test number (909-390-1390 is a 1Khz continuous tone) and placed the phone on the back of my video card with the USB cable connected. If it connects, we'll know this works for heating the phone up enough to temporarily 'fix' the cold solder joint.
But my skyrocket charges perfectly, via wall charger and usb, i have no need to use a external charger
You may not have the same issue as I have. I will note that as mine degrades it'll start acting as though I'm repeatedly unplugging it (PC rapidly going through USB connect/disconnect cycles, etc), then it'll still show that it's charging although the PC no longer recognizes it, until finally it acts as though the USB does nothing at all. The hotter I get the phone, the longer each stage takes.
Im just concerned that cwm will bone you from Samsung. one crazy idea is force brick so it doesn't turn on at all if they can't see recovery then you can anyways claim power failure

I read, I see, I understand
This is a good thread. My skyrocket is a used one from Texas. Won it on Ebay. Shipped out quick. Nice unit except it did exactly what I see described here.
It worked great the first day as a stock ice cream sandwich or whatever you call the ATT skyrocket software package Android 4.0 something. The USB hookup started getting flaky the more I used it, it would disconnect. It was unhooking, and I'd click to "copy files to PC" button again and again. It made rooting it a real challenge.
As if getting your arms around "Odin" wasn't intimidating enough...
I thought it might be from being jiggled, so when I was stashing the last of my downloads to flash CM9, I was careful to have it on a surface when I gently touched the screen and got all the files copied I wanted, and the phone, computer, and data cord left untouched, appeared to "work" ahead of the epic fail.
After I flashed the new CM9 from (wow thanks team chopsticks!) the USB is not recognized either in the skyrocket nor the computer, nothing. It shows charge, that's it.
I intend to get a USB reader for the microchip as a work-around. The phone screams. This is my second skyrocket and the new CyanogenMod 9 is the love I've been looking for. At last, a phone that can bring up a gallery full. My first skyrocket had trouble when the 32 GB microchip approached full. This one flips the 20 GB worth of pages full of folders up like nothing flat.
Also, interesting detail on this used Ebay phone... the first thing I noticed is you can't power it off. The seller shipped it with the battery removed. I tried plugging it in, leaving it unplugged, this i727 just will not power down. I do love the touchwiz recovery, and how you can select to reboot and then choose to boot into recovery. That part worked nicely and I am over all happy.
I know its late replay but I got solution!
I had same prob all i did was took toothpick stick it inside phone USB connector thing and pushed it little bit up and now it works perfectly FINE!
Yes the toothpick fix does work. Had the same problem with mine. Read about using the toothpick to fix this problem from a post back in December of last year. Don't pry up too much and break the toothpick off inside. A little twist is all it needed on mine. Noticed some dirt and grime came off on the toothpick. Maybe this helped clean it as well

[Q] Phone isn't mounting to computer, but will charge! Please help!

I've had my nexus for a while, soon to be going on a year and I haven't been able to mount it to my computer for, I'd say like 4-5 months? It randomly just stopped working one day. It'll still charge when I plug my phone in. I've checked NStools and fastcharge is unchecked. I've cleaned the port a couple times. I still can't figure out why it won't mount. I don't think it'd be a hardware problem either because it still charges. I'm rooted and my bootloader is unlocked, I've also tried tons of different roms to see if that was the problem. It won't even mount through recovery, but like sometime last month it randomly mounted one time and It never did after that. I've spent countless hours on google trying to figure it out. Can someone PLEASE help me?
go into phone and dial *#*#8778#*#* and check if UART is modem, and USB is PDA.
If it's not, that's your problem.
If that doesn't work, flash a different kernel
UART is "PDA" but whenever I select "Modem" it changes back after I hit the back button.
I also tried two different kernels. Franco and Matr1x.
maybe you have encryted your phone?
Same exact thing happened to me. U think its an issue with Samsung phones.

Actually yeah, I've read up that it happens to the sgsII sometimes too.

You can do a Nandroid, but it will always be encrypted, so not really

Uninstall all of your Windows 7 USB drivers. Reboot computer, and connect Nexus S using USB. I find it best to connect through CWM recovery, by mounting your USB storage. Let your computer install the drivers, and then enjoy! It should be perfectly functional after that.
It's only Windows 7 that it does that on. I've tried computers with Windows XP before too, and my school Macs.

That happened once to me, then I realized I was using an "only charge" USB cable from a car kit I bought. Using the original cable fixed the problem.
