worked for me..do you have VMWARE or anything installed? if so make sure you open it up and disable the USB ports..
You have set your phone in USB mass storage mode, right ? Works without problems here ...

Did you ever get this working? I have tried with USB debugging off and on, tried all the options under the default connection type. What else can I do to get this to connect to my Mac? I don't see anything that is labeled "MASS USB STORAGE".

unplug your device. and disable usb debugging. now go to settings>applications>usb settings and select mass storage. Now go turn back on usb debugging and plug it in to your computer. It should mount in finder. If not, just tell me. I wrote the Mac section of the guide so I should be able to help
Nope followed that and nothing happened. It did not mount in finder.
Ok I think I got it rooted but how can I tell?
you need to enable usb debugging in order to get mounted in mac
settings>applications> development > USB debugging
a popup will show and you need to click OK to get it work

Are you talking about trying to transfer files to/from a USB flash drive? If so, I've encountered the same. I spoke to Samsung tech support and they confirmed that the I727 Skyrocket is not OTG USB Host Enabled... while the GS2 I777 stock kernel is Host enabled. That said, there was one member on this forum who states their stock Skyrocket is OTG USB Host enabled (allowing him to transfer files to/from a USB flash drive). We need a developer to advise if/when a kernel (preferable stock + otg USB host enabled) can be developed for our i727 Skyrocket.
If you talking about transferring files to a computer, you should have that capability. Make sure USB Debugging is checked on phone and you have the correct drivers installed on your PC.
I'm talking about transferring files(pictures,movies,etc..) I have USB debugging enabled and I downloaded the drivers presented on the forums here. It just connects then disconnects repeatedly. I'm pretty sure its a driver issue but I'm using the ones from xda. I'm not sure where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated

You're not supposed to use USB Debugging for transferring files like that.
Just turn off debugging.
Then when you plug in the USB cable, the notifications bar should let you know it's connected. So click on that notification about the USB, then click the option to "connect".
It's kind of redundant if you ask me, but it's how it works.
I know it don't have to be ticked to transfer files. It does it whether its on or off. I'm just trying to get it to stay locked in so my computer recognizes it

And it also makes it quite frustrating to flash or anything via computer

Well I'm not sure then. Here's a few things to try:
1) Different USB port on your computer. If you're using a rear port, then try a front port. Sometimes they use different chipsets.
2) Different USB cable. They can get flakey sometimes.
3) Go into 3E Recovery and clear cache. Could be a setting that got whacked out.

i know this is a simple answer but may work. try rebooting your phone/ fix permissions in CWM and connecting again?
your computer's operating system is missing the drivers for your phone .
here is the link to download and install the necessary drivers for your phone .
http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/...itedMobileDriver_S498MA22_WHQL_ML_Ver_2.2.exe
install the drivers and reboot your PC and then connect your phone. it will automatically install new device and you can connect your phone to the pc.
Hi, So as the title said my computer dont show my OPO in the explorer, but when i connect the phone to the computer via usb the computer make the sound of the new connection and on the phone its also show that it connected but on the pc i cant see it on the explorer.

What exactly did you try?
Set the usb connection as mtp?
enable usb debugging?
Tried another cable?
If you're just wanting to transfer files, you can use a wifi transfer app where you access the phone through a web browser once the wifi app is started on the phone.
If you got your phone locked with a swipe, pin or password, you need to unlock it first

Ive connected my S6 to the computer but it doesnt show up in My Computer. It shows that the MTP USB Device driver has failed to install. Any solutions? Ive tried everything available on the internet. Even kies and smartswitch and samsung drivers installed. Nothing seems to work at this point.
Does it work on another PC, or with a different cable?

I tried it on my laptop but it doesnt work on it either. Tried 3 different cables. Weird part is I transferred Music to my phone via the computer just yesterday and all of a sudden today it does this.

Try to turn on usb debugging from developer options. See what happens. If it fails then probably your usb connnection somehow got stuck in charge only mode. In that case you will need to force mtp through commandline. Just see what happens after you try to turn on debugging first.
Additional note: this is pretty basic stuff but still worth mentioning. What happens when you try to select usb options type from inside storage settings? Does the settings option open up? Is mtp selected over there?

You can force mtp through command line only if you have root access. Are you rooted?
Since mtp is already selected in the connection type list, the problem is probably due to a bad driver structure. Disconnect your device from PC. Remove all the drivers and kies software from your pc. Reboot and connect phone. Try to see if the windows driver works out not. I am guessing you are on windows 7, right?

Ive tried that as well. Windows drivers also couldnt install MTP. Im not rooted. How did this even happen? I mean It was fine yesterday.
You can try these two solutions in their order and report back.
1) On your phone, go to Security -> Device administration->Device adminstrators. Check if there are any app with admin privileges, you have to deactivate them and see if MTP access works.
2) Connect your phone, swipe ur top menu down & tap USB PC connection settings, switch from MTP to PTP. Let driver's install. Now, go to the safely remove & eject media & eject your phone, when it says its safe to remove. Just switch your PTP back to MTP, see if the drivers install successfully then.
