driver for gingerbread mr2?

After i installed the new radio and bamf gingersense remix 2.1, my compooter no longer sees the phone and the old driver isn't working any longer, therefore the drive for my SD card does not come up in my pc. :/
can anybody PLEASE halp!?

For just mounting the USB storage try switching it to internet pass through then switching back to usb storage mode, that's what works for me. As far as ADB goes, i couldn't tell you except use it in CWM

Install the latest lean kernel for GB sense, has a usb fix

When I plug my phone into the computer it actually shows up as two separate removable discs. The SD card is removable E and the phone is removable F. Hope this helps.

Make sure USB debugging is enabled. For whatever reason, on both android phones I've owned, my computer could only pick up sd cards with it enabled.
Second thought, if you're using a custom kernel, sometimes it can break USB. I remember morfic's kernel broke it back when I used Bionix 2

I had this problem a few days ago after I flashed the Trigger 2.3.4 gb rom coming from Ultimate 2.2 froyo rom..When I'd plug in my usb and try to mount the SD cards the phone would say the cards are mounted (even the icons for apps installed on the sd would go generic as if they were mounted) but the drives wouldn't show up on my pc for some reason. I never had that problem before so it drove me nuts until I finally got it resolved but for me it was multiple problems..Like the guy before me said always make sure usb debugging is turned on and this may or may not apply to you but if turning on usb debugging doesn't fix it get the LG update tool and install the drivers from inside there because they are the most current ones..I thought mine were the most current because I even redownloaded the drivers on LG's support site but those aren't the most current ones. Anyway hope this helps someone avoid the nightmare I went through!

[Q] Gingerbread and mounting external sdcard through usb cable

I'm currently on ICBINB KH1 and after flashing it I noticed I can't mount the sd card when I connect it to my computer so I can transfer files from my computer to my external sd card on my phone. I was able to do this on all Froyo ROMs.
I thought to myself maybe it's the ROM so I tried flashing back to KC1 through Odin. When I tried mounting it, it worked. So I tried flashing KG4 through Odin and tried mounting to my pc again and it wouldn't recognize it anymore again. I tried flashing KH1 through Odin as well and same issue.
Anyone else having this issue?
I'm currently reformatting my sdcard with my PC and going to see if that will fix the issue but I don't think that is the problem.

Can you access the SD card files from the ROM itself when you have GB? I wasn't ever able to, much less mount it from the computer.

Yes I can from the ROM. I can take it out the phone and use an adapter to connect also.
I guess I'll try a suggestion and go into disk management.

I just read that post too. Was coming back here to post about it. I think if you hear your computer recognize your phone (the sound when you plug the phone in) you'll be good. I've had that problem before, not only with this phone and disk management tends to fix it.

[Q] USB Mass Storage Not Working

So the USB mass storage functionality has stopped working. I've owned the same G2x since it came out. I tried in both stock Android (2.3.3) and CM7 build 152. I've tried attaching the phone to two different computers running two different OSs (Win7 x64 at work and OSX Lion at home) and using two different cables. `adb devices` doesn't show any devices attached, either, and I have "USB debugging" enabled. The G2x shows it's charging, so I know the cable's connected and receiving power from the USB bus. I'm gonna call T-Mobile (and/or LG) about it. Has anyone had the same issue? Does anyone know of anything I should try?

Did you install the LG drivers?

Download from LG here:
http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/G2X-Driver/index.jsp

Yup, LG drivers are installed on Win7. No drivers needed for OSX.

Have you altered the mountpoints of your sdcard? I've noticed that in stock roms if I change the mount points of my sdcards then I can't mount them to my computer as mass storage.

Nope. But I guess I could format the SD card and internal memory. Only problem is that I have data I need to keep on it.

Did you try a different USB cable?

Yup. Tried three different cables from three different manufacturers.

Hmm I'm not sure what else to suggest then. Do you have clockworkmod recovery? Try booting into clockworkmod and go to Mounts & storage. Select to mount USB storage there and see if it mounts to your computer that way. If it mounts there then at least its not a hardware issue.

Doesn't work that way, either. I put in a new sd card and formatted the internal sd (emmc). I think I'll be making a trip to the T-Mobile store tomorrow. I'll probably need to put it completely back to stock, heh. I should be okay just to reflash the 2.3.3 update right from the LG tool, I think.

Happens to me from time to time. All I do is turn the USB debugging mode on and off and plug it in until it works.

I tried cycling usb debugging, too. Didn't work.

So I'm making a little bit of progress. I installed adbWireless and plugged in the USB cable. This is what `dmesg | tail` gives me:
Code:
<4>[ 2528.279492] -->> MUIC : Set_MAX14526_Usb_Mode_Detect
<4>[ 2537.679262] Dumb charger detected

I'm backing up my sd card through wireless adb by using `adb pull /sdcard/ sdcard`. I'll hit up t-mobile tomorrow and see what they can do for me. I'm hoping that I can still use the LG tool to flash 2.3.3 so I can be fully back to stock (uninstall clockworkmod). I'll keep you all updated in this thread. Meanwhile, if anyone has any more suggestions, I'd love to try them out.

Do you have an external sdcard in your phone? Just use a file explorer to copy all your data from the internal SD to the external one and then take it out and use a microsd adapter put it in your computer to get your files from it.
To return to stock you can also download the stock nandroid backup posted in the dev section. Its here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196019
Download it to your computer, unzip it and copy the unzipped v21e folder to your external microsd card to the ./clockworkmod/backup directory (using an adapter since USB mass storage doesn't work). Put the sdcard back in your phone and use clockworkmod recovery to restore that nandroid to your phone. It's stock unrooted 2.3.3. Then use the one-click nvflash tool from the dev section to flash stock recovery back to your phone. Now you're back to factory condition.

Thanks for the suggestions. I already have a v21e nandroid backup. I just tried connecting the phone for nvflash, but that doesn't work, either. It doesn't show up in the LG Updater tool, either, when I plug it in. I think it's just plain broke. It'll charge, but won't do anything else.
I stayed up just about all night last night backing up my internal and external sd cards. I zipped the internal, placed the zip file on the external, then used an adapter to copy all the files on the external over. My biggest concern was the $50 in music I just bought that was residing on the internal sd and the keepass file I use for work.
Anyways, T-Mobile opens up in an hour. I'll head over after restoring the v21e nandroid backup I have. Hopefully they won't notice the ClockWorkMod recovery, heh.

Talked with T-Mobile. Apparently, I told them a few months ago that I rooted my phone and put cm7 on it. D'oh! They told me to contact LG, who could probably ship me out a new/refurbished device. If I did that, I'd be without a phone for multiple weeks. LG would see that I have ClockWorkMod recovery installed and could still reject my refurb request. I'd be out the cost of shipping and without my beloved phone for a few weeks.
I think I'll wait to see what Google has up their sleeves for their October 11th event. I might use this as an excuse to devour an Ice Cream Sandwich.
Thanks for all the replies and the help. If anything else comes to mind, let me know. I've loved this phone and would hate to part ways with it.

This happened to me 4 months ago. I tried everything with no luck. You'll have to get a replacement, I couldn't unroot it obviously but I installed a stock ROM and deleted everything custom. Only way they would have known it was rooted was if they powered it off and held down volume and power button. I've had my newphone since then goodluck

Thanks, this worked for me. I have been trying to figure out how to get it working for a few weeks now.
How common of a bug is it for the G2X? I Have not heard of it before.
----------------------------------------------
Probably a rare glich with CM7 stable, pulling out the battery did not make it go away, but toggling the usb did.

Make sure you don't have the usb charge only option check. If you do it will only charge and not connect the mass storage. Should be under settings, sdcard, first option.

ph totally wiped, wiped system data cache, no nandroid backup, cant go download mode

Hi All -
Not a good day for me at all I installed one of the latest Stock Odexed ROM. Then for some reason I wanted to reinstall it so went to Touch v6.0.1.5 recovery and wiped everything without taking nandroid back up as I was 100% sure that I have all my different ROMs in my external card. Then after wiping the device when I went to my external card to install the ROM I found nothing in there !!! Total phone wiped out !!! Now cant even go to Download Mode to install a ROM using odin. Tried adb reboot download but still No luck. Cant go to download mode. May be my USB cable or PC has issues, wont detect my phone right now every time I want to go to download mode it goes to recovery mode. Hence cant install any ROM. Please help !!!
I also installed the Samsung USB driver but still my PC wont detect my phone.
My device is Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket.
You help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

If you can still access recovery just DL another ROM and flash it. I must be missing something here. Is the phone usable?

Most likely it's the OP that's missing something, being in panic.
OP, get an SD card, load any ROM on it, insert it into your phone, boot to recovery, install ROM, profit.

Smart idea !!! I am so dumb, this idea didnt come to my head But currently cant do it because there is no way I can access (read/ write) the Micro SD card so that I can trasfer a ROM there and install it by going to the recovery. Any idea? I dont have the card reader.

Does the phone still boot to OS?

Thanks buddy but the problem is I cant access my Micro USB Card. The phone doesnt boot and gets stuck at the SAMSUNG logo.

In both TWRP and CWM recoveries you have "Mount USB storage" option.
Connect your phone to PC with USB cable, use that option, and copy the ROM right on your USB storage.
Or grab a card reader for $1 from eBay To have one just in case. Or use any other phone (family/friends) for copying the ROM on the SD card. So many options...

Thats the only option I see Jack_R1, either buy a card reader or use friends one. I tried Mount USB Storage before but nothing happened. And other issue I have been having for last few weeks is - my PC wont detect my phone, it says unrecognized device or something. So I have been using FTP for transferring ROM and other files to my phone.
But I will try with a card either for now. Hope that helps otherwise will need guidance from expert ppl like you all.
Thanks again. Appreciate for your quick responses.

You said in the OP that you tried adb reboot download. So do you have adb installed? If so have you installed the google drivers?? Here's the link:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
If you don't have them installed do so. Then type:
Code:
adb devices
You might need to exit SDK manager and reboot your comp before it shows. Also there is a program called usbdeview you can DL to remove any drivers you have installed that might coflict.

Never heard of having recovery but not download.... Sure you don't have a usb cable/connection problem?

He most probably has a problem with USB port - requiring some cleaning (and hopefully nothing more). Likely one of the data (D+/D-) pins isn't connecting.

As you guys suggested - I am cleaning the USB Drivers. usbdview looks a pretty handy tool didnt know about this one. Download ADT and Google USB driver. Will try it out soon.
But now my phone is back to its' life Thanks so much to all of you !!! I dont know how it formatted both the sdcard and external storage !!!Any idea? Can a ROM do this? (well fortunately I backed up all my files from the Micro SD last night)

Jack_R1 - what is the best way to clean the USB port? I will keep you posted if driver clean up and re-installation helps to detect the phone or not.

Toothpick and gently going over all contacts inside the socket.

Prying up on the prong ever so gently(it really don't take much) with a toothpick worked for me. Although now that I think about it, the toothpick may have just helped clean it ^^^
