So I have a post floating around on XDA from months ago about my usb mounting not coming up when plugging my phone to PC. I have been using my digital cable box which has a usb connection to charge my phone. Oddly enough it shows my usb connected sometimes when plugged into that but never when connected to PC. Sorry if any typos i hate typing on my phone. Would love to get my usb mounting back. I just use airdroid for file transfer but need wifi to use it.

Make sure the correct drivers are installed. Connect it and check on device manager how your phone is identified.
you can find the drivers on the iset thread

I have the drivers installed its not picking them up... And I'm not sure as to which one is for this phone to manually install it..

32 and 64 are your computer. Try turning off the phone, then plugging it in and turning it on, strangely enough that has fixed problems with USB before.

What do you mean it "won't recognize"
When you plug it in you get no notification? Or are you trying to mount the sd card in windows?
When I plug it in it recognizes that something usb was plugged in but it won't pick up the drivers

Try plugging your phone in, then go to the Device Manager in Windows, and look to see if any of the entries have a yellow or red exclamation point beside them.
got it!!!
thanks for all the help but after all the messing around it was the USB cord to be the blame!!!
I was using tethering on captivate to my work laptop, my kid accidentally bumped the phone and it came unplugged from the usb cable. Now anytime I try to use tethering it will not connect to the laptop. Usb ports on the laptop work with other devices. Phone is running serendipity 6.4. Phone charges fine and I am able connect to laptop with usb debugging. Any ideas? Thanks!

Have you tried rebooting the phone and computer? Try a different USB cable maybe.
Yep! I have rebooted everything and I have 3 different cables. No luck yet. I was hoping this would be an easy fix

it may be a driver issue on the computer. Assuming you are on a windows machine go to device manager and see if there are any device errors. check under Network Adapters, see if you have Samsung Android USB Remote NDIS Network Device listed. If its not listed right click scan for hardware changes. Update or repair the driver.
Link to drivers from i9000 fourm. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
I will try that thanks

I've always found Wireless Tether to be more reliable than Mobile AP.

This has the sound of a hardware issue. I would try to get wireless tethering up and running
Like the others said try wireless tethering, I've never gotten it to work any other way with my laptop.
You could also try the reinstall drivers option in Kies, when I was having trouble with Odin detecting the phone even after it had worked before that option in Kies fixed it.
Also, try a different USB port if you haven't already, you mentioned trying different cables but not USB ports.
I'm trying to root my girlfriend's Evo Shift 4G. I downloaded the latest version of HTC Sync to my computer but when I connect the phone under sync mode it never detects the phone. Windows 7 starts to install the drivers but fails to install them. I reinstalled windows 7 32 bit no antivirus software and fresh sync install and it still won't work. I went into device manager and it showed Android Phone with a yellow explanation point. I removed the usb cable, uninstalled the android phone device, rebooted, plugged the usb cord into a different usb port and it still won't work. At this point I have no idea what to do in order to get the computer to see the phone so I can use ADB to get the phone rooted. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

i banged my head over this for hours yesterday only to find that the problem was i was using a knock-off ebay usb cable. once i tried the "official" usb cable that came with the phone (has a HTC tag on it) it worked perfectly!!
Definately check the Micro USB Cable. I've had knock off cables be the cause of several issues. I always make sure to use the HTC factory cable. Also make sure and check your ports on the phone, and PC. Make sure they're clean. Dust and dirt collect in them as time goes on.
Okay thanks I'll try the HTC cable. I was using the cable from my Nexus S 4G maybe the phone's port was dirty. I'll check things out. Thanks for the ideas!

Okay I tried cleaning the contacts on 3 different USB cables, cleaned the usb port of the Shift, and still no luck. If it's connected in storage mode or charge only the computer shows an HTC Android Phone. However, once USB debugging is turned on it doesn't know the phone is there. Any other ideas? Is there a different driver that debugging mode uses that maybe I don't have?

Okay now I tried hooking up my Nexus S 4G to the computer and once USB debugging is turned on the computer couldn't locate a driver. It's something about debugging that's messing up my computer.

Make sure USB Debugging is turned on. Menu-Settings-Applications-Develpment. Make sure USB Debug is checked.

He said the problem is the phone isn't recognized once debugging is checked.
This is strange though.. I have rooted my Shift, a Nexus S and installed CM on my Touchpad and never had any issues with the drivers. Maybe try removing and reinstalling the drivers? Obviously something is not agreeing with your PC.
When USB debugging is turned on, windows doesn't find the phones. :-(

Sounds like you need to update the HTC drivers. I used the ones off the Revolutionary site for the EVO4G.
Any way you could link me to where you got the drivers?

The ones I was talking about are HERE. Along with the instructions on how to install.
Wondering why people say the lack of sd card is no go when theirs usb on the go
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
usb-otg is nice but you have to carry around at least one more "device".
a sdcard is installed "once" and you never have to think about it again.
Hello, the answer for your question is, when the device you are using acts as a host for any of external storage, the *battery drain* is alot faster than normal condition and obviously you cannot charge it at the same time. The phone can withstands that condition for about 20-30 minutes. So the USB OTG Is a no go as compared to SDCard.
If battery is not the issue, go for it!!!
Also if you are thinking of forcefully adding OTG capability to your device using root permissions, THINK TWICE. It may cause damage/ burning of internal hardware.
Hope I helped you.

I really thought USB OTG was nice, until I realized that you would have no way to charge to device while watching a movie.
If you're listening to songs then it's a hassle to have that extra wire and drive sticking out from the phone.
However, USB OTG is still very useful for being able to have a keyboard to type with when you don't have access to a computer

Whenever I try to tether my XP laptop tells me that I need to install a driver in order to tether. Where do I get this driver? I am able to use it as storage fine.
To USB tether on my win 8 and macbook, I use pdanet, aside from the 10mb limit, it works great
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Yes I understand but when I plug in my phone to my laptop it is asking for a driver for the infuse.
Just for driver, you can install kies.
But I an not sure about tethering driver.
What I recommend is make WiFi hot spot. U can also connect your phone top PC if you worry about the battery life.
