I have erased the contents of the phones internal USB storage. Now I notice that I cant mount to my PC.
Anybody know what happening or had same problem

Have you already tried formatting with CWM?
Perhaps this thread contains some useful information for you.

I know this is a long shot but go to your dialer and input *#*#8778#*#* and make sure it looks like this pic. I fool with QPST and other things and sometimes forget to change the settings back to PDA and it will not mount. Long shot but what the hey...

Typed it in and got nothing. Using the android dialler when I pressed the last * the dialer cleared and did nothing.
Just installed the SDK so I could use (hopefully) ADB. When trying to install the Google driver rev4 windows says that rev 4 is no better than the one currently installed.
Also when I connect to the PC it says that the USB device is not recognised either.
I reckon my next thing to try flashing a new Rom via ROM manager.

well that didnt work in fact it has got considerably worse. I used ROM manager to download and install a new rom but didnt install the Gapps how daft do I feel now cos all I got is version of Blandroid running with no Android Market access to download ROM Manager.
I can access my WiFi network so I thought I would simply visit XDA via the mobile browser and download a fresh version of CM7 and then re-flash via ClockworkMod . However all I get is download fail error. I guess it doesn't know where to save the file.
So to recapp I have the following
a Nexus S (running Blandroid ROM)
a Win XP laptop that does not recognise my Nexus S (therefore cant install the Google driver to use ADB)
The Nexus S recovery is ClockworkMod and accessible.
I cannot accept that it is bricked (not just yet anyway)
I have another Laptop with Ubuntu installed. Will this help me in anyway to find a fix. I am not that experienced in Linux unfortunately.

i have the same problem. only thing you can try is.
pull out battery. let something metal touch the usb conecter .conecting the metal to a unload source(for static electricity.)
wait couple of hours,and try again.
if that didnt work.
2
open your nexus.
unplug all cables and screws from the main board.
again touch the usb conecter with something metal that has a ground source.
and try again.
the last step worked for me the 1st time pluging it in after i did that.
after that. usb didnt work again.
it probably has to do something with the usb phone charger and static electricity.
but i havent tested it.

will give that a try when I have a bit more time.
In the meantime I have been setting up ADB on my other laptop running Ubuntu 11.04. But unfortunately the Nexus S didnt register on the OS either. I thought you didnt need additional drivers for Linux only windows! I am really puzzled now as I thought the Linux option would have allowed me to flash a different ROM other than Blandroid (which isnt bad its just I dont have the Gapps installed)

you still have wifi/3G and CWM or bloothoot?
download the Gapps zip. put it on dropbox or any hosting site.download it trough your mobile browser and flash it trug CWM.
or use blutethoot to download it.
might be a short fix.until you get USB to work.
(this is how i do it cuz my usb doesnt work.)

I did try that but for some reason after stating that the download had started - Download Unsuccessful was displayed in the notification area. As useual I open a door only to find a brick wall on the other side.
In the meantime I am back with my HTC Hero.
Thanks for helping anyway!

try difrent download solutuins.
seeing you have HTC here.why not tranver your zip trug your hero to your Ns?(with bluethoot)

boy, i hope you haven't started tearing your phone apart yet...
since you still have access to cwm: try to format your sdcard with it. looks like you haven't done that yet.

I would try to uninstall all drivers and associated programs on your PC. Then reinstall the drivers. Windows can be very finicky as you know. Also try PDANET drivers.

The NS wouldn't connect to laptop with Ubuntu running. I am beginning to think that I have a faulty micro USB port.
Ill try the pdanet drivers later tonight - are they different from the google rev 4 drivers?

Same PC with dual boot? Yeah, try another cord and a another PC. The fact that you plugged it in and it's recognized in some way in the tray says something is fubar. I just don't know if it is the phone though. Best of luck.

Nah, different laptop and different cable. Hope that it charges OK. Gonna have to get a WiFi file transfer app working to move files to and from.

glad to help out :3
there are allot of people that have this USB isue and its HW NS related. nothing we actually can do about it.plus it also happens after changing kernels and roms(i supose) overclocking might be 1 of the reasons thus the voltages not being original.
btw,sorry for my half assed english x3

Double check the modem/pda settings mentioned in post #3. Should be set to pda to see the files on the SD.

Having the same issue. I tried that, no such luck.
My computer *did* connect at one point though... couldn't mount USB storage (wasn't prompted) but it did ask for a driver, and currently has a Samsug USB one installed. It won't accept the SDK driver (not 64-bit capable? Or NS4G? Idk...)

I got nothing when I entered *#*#8778#*#*. I simply typed it in using the keypad on the dialer. Is there something else I should be doing?

USB Doesn't work

I have the mobile in s-off and with root permissions, MIUI had installed 2.2.17, and had no problem to connect the mobile to the PC and the mobile ask me if I want to connect as mass storage or just load. Until a few days left to ask me ... Mac thought it would be and the same probe in windows, restart the phone and nothing. I tried to install another ROM the CyanogenMod 7.1 and the problem continued. Now I'm back to the latest version of MIUI I think it's 24 and still have problems. I tried to format the microSD card from android and pc / mac but nothing. To say that from a file browser in android if I see all the files correctly.
I tried installing a version prerooted but the problem continues.

Have you installed the required drivers for your phone? Just install HTC Sync and it will do that for you automatically.
(At least for Windows - I don't have a Mac so i can't comment on that)

I tried with HTC Sync and nothing. I changed the kernel version of a saga tiamat 1.1.5 (before had the kernel 2.6.35.14-cyonagenmod + [email protected] # 1)

............ UP!!

Have you tried to mount as USB disk when in recovery?

Yes. Nothing

A friend once ran into a similar problem. It turned out to be luck had run out on his micro-USB port. A similar problem I once had turned out to be faulty USB ports on my laptop. I'd suggest you look into both scenarios.
*I'm saying it's likely a hardware problem*

If he tried to mount on other computers, with different OS, and still no luck, then yes, I guess it is definitely a HW problem.
@pasteles
Does the phone still charge?
I have the same problem with my TouchPad, no mounting as usb disk at all, when charger is connected the charging symbol comes up, but the current coming through the port is not enough to charge it. So I think the USB port has some faulty pins. In any case, faulty USB.
You can take a chance with the warranty or find someone able to replace the port.

i ran into this problem a few weeks back also and the problem was a faulty usb port and cable........ i changed the cable and reinstalled the drivers and i was back to a working usb

Right, I forgot the part about the faulty USB cable. Most often, it's actually the cable. Then the computer's USB port. Unlikely (and worrisome) is the probability of the micro-USB port of the Desire S having gone bad.

[Q] Regarding AOKP 4.2.2 Issue

Hi Dear Friends,
I tried this great rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2237438
Everything is working simply great except :
1) USB storage of my phone is not being detected i.e. 16 GB by default. I tried several time from setting-->storage--->mount usb storage but no use. Because of this I'm not able to use camera, gallery, etc.
2) whenever I try to connect my phone to pc through usb wire, it fails after showing some progress. So not able to transfer files.
Earlier I was using AOKP Milestone that they released in october 2012. At that time there was no above such problem.
I believe this is not any major issue and you will help and guide me to solve this.
Thanks in advance. Other all features of rom are working awesomely.
Your Friend
PJ

I'm running now Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 Android 4.2.2 (11/7)
before ask:
i have tried different usb cables
i have tried different computers (XP and 7)
i have tried usb debug and all that stuff
i have tried the manual driver install (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901617) but windows doens't even let me install it it says "your drivers are up to date" and only a close button.
please guys i'm dying without USB storage, what should i do? i really really need usb storage work, just can't figure how....
Could be drivers on phone or windows?
Please help guys a huge THANKS in advance!

does it mount on recovery ???
have you tried changing your kernel ???
have you tried mtp? ( maybe in CM is not supported )
the strange thing is that apparently it works on your device ...
if you need to transfer file you can use airdroid or scatter while u fix this

[Q] My android phone all of a sudden stopped letting me drag and drop files onto it

I am running a CM11 Nightly on my jfltevzw. I am trying to update to a new nightly by dragging and dropping it onto my phone, the way I always do. However for some reason when I try to do it now, I get an error message saying "Cannot copy item: This device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." even though it shows up on my explorer. I have no idea what happened. It was working fine like a day ago. I have rebooted my computer and everything, but it just won't work. Help!

Usually CM roms have this kind of MTP bugs when you move big files, try rebooting your phone, if you still got a problem, try using adb, or Usb Mode, or copy files over wifi (Airdroid, or ES file explorer ..)
