Ive had this phone for a week or so and have since rooted it. But I am now having trouble connecting using USB. I can connect it to my PC and it will show 2 removable drives in my list of drives in explorer but I cannot access them. I also cannot mount my SD card in CWM. It doesnt show any removable drives when I try in explorer.
This all worked fine until I tried installing Samsung Kies which seems to be a POS and somehow screwed my drivers up. Ive removed them, got Kies off my system even went so far as to remove the Samsung drivers off my system and use Revo Uninstaller Pro to get any remnants off only to reinstall and have the same issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
Im using Win 7 64bit. With this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918608
I also tried this to no avail.
First uninstall Kies from your PC and make sure you doesn't leave behind any files.
Uninstallation of the software and the drivers installed by Kies I suggest using Revo uninstaller to do that.
Uninstall it from your PC then make a fresh installation.
Open Kies but do not connect your phone, if it wants to update Kies, go ahead and do it.
Close Kies, connect your phone and open Kies.

Uninstall all divers than install this one. Driver Link
I'd also switch ROMS and see if that helps.

Thats the driver I had installed, but I think KIES somehow screwed everything up. Im going to try to reinstall KIES then remove it with Revo and install the exact driver from your link and report back.

Well I did try what you linked and no good. I still get the 2 removable drives showing up in windows but it tells me to insert a disk when I try to access them.
I dont quite know how Im going to change ROMS if I cant mount USB storage in CWM to get the ROM on there for flashing.

Are you mounting them from your phone? You need to mount them pnce you connect it to the pc.

That is not our phone but it looks the same

Haha yeah..true. You can Odin back to stock, or Insert the SDcard into your PC (no cable) and put a Rom there, or can also "I THINK" use adb to push a rom.

1st let me say Im an idiot on forgetting to mount the USB that way but it wasnt asking me I had to look on the notifications and tap from there.
But that still leaves me unable to mount from within CWM. I attempt to mount my SD card and it doesnt show anything, now I also installed ROM Manager and flashed CWM Touch in between my rooting and now, could this somehow have screwed things up?
Something else I just noticed since the 2 removable drives are now accessible, thanks to you helping me realize I was forgetting something important, both of these drives seem to have what may be important stuff on them but also seem like it may be duplicated or being a bit new to this it could just be the way its supposed to be.

It works just fine. I verified this package on a device. I dont know where you got your version, but the one on sammobile.com is verified operational by me last night.
If you do not repartition while flashing bootloaders than you can have problems. This package is designed for a total restoration. Its likely you were using a package that some guy created and he didnt know what he was doing.
Im requesting that all comments pertaining to my package having bad bootloaders except this one be removed. This package is fine.

And he packaged it improperly. He either forgot to package the SBL or PBL, or he forgot to repartition. This package works. The PBL and SBL were flashed sucessfully.
Not everyone knows how to properly package a firmware flash. This flash is verified.
Stop the off-topic banter.

i used this to unbrick my phone but now it wont let my pc recognize the files on it. i plugged it into samsung mini kies and it recognized it. during installation it said it didnt work so i took out the battery and put it back in and then a screen with a phone and tiny computer popped up so i plugged it back into the heimdall program and it started working. it seems everything else is fine plus I guess it has gingerbread now but luckily i had backed up all my games 2 days before on the pc. plus the games are on the sd card but not on the phone. should I redo the heimdall program again? when i hit mass storage on the phone it makes the beep sound like the files will come up but nothing happens

Try following my gb starter pack guide. One of the issues of the earlier GB leaks (Anything earlier than KGX) was that the phone wouldn't recognize the SD card.

Hi again...

i tried the SC Card on a different phone and it gets detected, so we can also am=sume that it is not the SD Card...

Flash a stock ROM and see if it works.....
If not then something is wrong with your SD Card or something is wrong with your USB Cord....
If it works then it seems to be a problem with one of the modifications.....
I am not sure but themes should not cause USB problems....
well, it does work without the Steel Blue theme ported by Neil.Richard...
so it may be the theme??

If changing the theme helped then its definitely a problem with the theme.
Simple possible answer
Try reformatting your sd card.
I tried connecting to my pc at first, then it wont connect, i thought the answer is the built in kies package, but its not, i just reformatted my memory card. And i can now connect my phone to my pc,
Hope this helped.

reikableu already stated that the USB Mode with the SD Card works when put in another phone.....
exactly... and when the phone is off, using the CWM /mount ext storage the connection works fine even with the theme installed but when i have the phone on with the theme... it doesn't work...
already did that as well... still did not work though...
but like i said, it did work again after re-flashing and not flashing the theme anymore...
My phone can only charge but not be recognized on USB, when I plug it into my computer it says it's unrecognizable from my computer (like an error pops up).

Are you trying to access the storage or use development tools (like adb) via USB?
Also, have you tried with a different USB port (preferably one on the motherboard of your computer)?

I've tried different usb cables with different computers and with different usb slots in each computer. Nothing works. Is it possible that my nexus s is missing a file allowing me to connect usb to my computer? Because every computer I use it says USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED so I was just wondering if that's the case.

It sounds like your problem can be isolated to the phone, but I'm not familiar with working in a Windows environment. I'd try booting into (the phone's) Recovery and seeing if you can mount the drive from there. Might help you isolate whether or not your issue is related to a particular volume.

I tried that going into the phone's recovery mode and plugging in the usb cord and it still says the same thing. When I go into further like clicking the message it gives me a Code 43 warning on my computer. I also tried hard factory resetting my phone when I was on the phone with Samsung and that didn't work either. Everything was fine before I flashed Cygenmod rom on my phone everything was perfect.

Interesting... now let me ask you from another angle, with the phone connected and USB debugging on, are you able to access the phone using adb devices / fastboot?

Nexus S Woes
I had the exact same story and errors as tdog1o1, and the ONLY fix I found useful was on an mp3 forum.
" I had code 43 problems with my usb ports until I found a thread on MSI's website. My front panel usb ports connected to a 9 pin usb header on the motherboard. Only 8 pins are needed. If pin 9 has a black ground wire then remove it. I didnt give this fix much hope but it fixed my problems! "
After many hours of driver installs, front usb port changes, and a dozen reboots, this actually worked!
I merely used the USB at the back of the computer and Voila!
Looks Wind Slash nailed it at the beginning of this thread.
Nexus S
I am having the exact problem, have found a solution.
Hey everyone, basically just what the title says. I plug it into the computer via USB, and ADB will not see the device when it's booted into Android. However when I boot it into recovery, it sees it fine.
I'm running Cyanogen 9 for a rom and TWRP for recovery.
Booted into android:
C:\Users\Michael>adb devices
List of devices attached
Booted into recovery:
C:\Users\Michael>adb devices
List of devices attached
b3fe68e1 recovery
I've tried installing drivers, deleting drivers, reinstalling drivers, rebooting, countless times now. Samsung's own software Kies won't even recognize the phone.
I am able to use ADB over wifi with ADB Wireless.
C:\Users\Michael>adb devices
List of devices attached
10.0.0.99:5555 device
Oh, and I can turn on USB Storage and access the filesystem with no problems.. so that works fine.
Am I going crazy or has someone else had this same problem? Thanks everyone.
Sorry for the silly question but have you enabled it in settings? That may or may not help you:thumbup:

I should have posted that in my original thread.. but yes I have it enabled. I tried having ADB over network enabled just to see if it would help.. but it did't.
Is "USB Debugging" in the phone (inside Android) checked ? check this option and see..
PS:sorry if it is enabled ... ROM problem ? did adb work on stock ROM ?
Yep it is enabled. It did not work with the stock rom either and the only reason I know that is because my wife just got the same phone yesterday and I noticed it wasn't working while trying to root it.
Start all over again ...
Uninstall all drivers for the device and kies..
Install adb and USB driver for the phone and try again ...
You seem to have a software problem (a driver issue) somewhere around your PC (are you on Mac or Windows ?)

try on another comp and c what happens, 2 phones cant be both screwed up so it must b comp
Yeah I agree it must be something to do with Windows. I will try installing the drivers and such on a computer at work on Monday and see what gives.
In the mean time I uninstalled everything and rebooted. Then I downloaded the drivers from Samsung's website, from here:
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...27_GS_II_Skyrocket_USB_Driver_v1_3_2200_0.exe
I also read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415051
and the #2 article points to: ATT_i777_GS2_USB_Drivers.zip
So I tried installing that too. Still nothing.
I took a couple screenshots during the process, maybe it will raise a red flag to one of you guys because I certainly can't figure this out.
When I plug in my phone, the "Android" device is what comes and goes. I've tried updating the drivers for that and pointing them to the Samsung drivers directory, just says it can't find them.
I admit to still being new around the whole android development thing, but with Windows I'm pretty proficient, I just can't figure out what I'm missing.
Just out of curiosity, why do you need to access adb with the phone not in recovery? You can do push pull commands through adb even if phone is in recovery

If super user is installed yes you can pull or push even in Android...But if not rooted it's only done while in recovery...

Personally I just like being able to have access to use adb. I can still use it over wifi using "adb wireless" so it's not a complete loss -- but for some reason the fact that the usb isn't working is just bothering me.
I'm not going to spend much more time fighting with it.. I'm sure it has something to do with the windows and the drivers.

i agree its win7 and drivers
Hey I know this thread is a week old or so, but I just wanted to let you know I found the problem. The problem was actually the Cyanogenmod ROM I had installed.
I was having a few other unrelated problems with that rom so I decided to try SkyICS, and low and behold.. I can now access adb via usb.
Just wanted to put the solution forward and maybe it will shine light on someone else's problem.
Thanks again to everyone for all their help.

Not exactly a solution though, in that Sky ICS is still a TW-based ROM (as in, based off the stock ROM) and not an AOSP-based ROM like CM9 or AOKP.
I also had this issue. The problem was in fact a Windows driver issue though, even though I had installed them already. When I went to Device Manager it would always show up as generic "Android" device with no driver under "other devices". I right-clicked it, Selected "Update device drivers" and then I believe there was an option to select drive from existing installed drivers. I'm on my linux partition right now so I forget what the precise option dialogue was, but it was a separate option from the "Browse my computer" option. From there it opened up a long list and I scrolled down and found one of the Samsung entries listed. I believe it was Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (there were others like SAMSUNG in all caps, etc.). I then selected the driver from the list within that Samsung group and ADB worked again.
so i manged something incredible, i managed to format my sdcard in CWM, was ment to click format/system but didnt doubble check and clicked format/sdcard. so now i have no backups and i already wiped everything else so i dont have any system to boot into. was trying ubuntu so not that it would help to much i think.
but now i cant even get the sdcard to show up. i boot up into CWM recovery and go to mount usb storage (mounts and storage/mount USB storage) but nothing comes up on either win7 or osx. in win7 i get an error could not find drivers to install device.
do i need the android SDK to get the drivers? if i just could get a CM10 image or somthing on there it would be good.
btw this is my backup device so im not in a hurry to fix this. was just curious on how ubuntu felt, so tried that and was a little to quick on the trigger when formating.

Which version of CWM are you using? Versions more recent than 6.0.1.0 have trouble mounting the SD card.

6 what? That's what's important. You can connect your phone and reflash to an older version using fastboot, such as v5.0.8.2 which is very stable and can mount the USB storage. Then you can transfer a rom to your sd and install it.

yeah seems downloading the android SDK and installing USB drivers, + restarting PC and pointing device manager to driver location is not enough. just get could not install drivers.
gonna try your link now

That android 1.0 thing is a driver issue. .... Happened to me once when i was setting my adb fastboot folders and drivers again . ..you should really use the pda driver
You will not see the missing driver android 1.0 after ....
And when your drivers are set.... Try a factory image in fastboot...or...my worst case scenario...odin.

As I said you need to flash a previous version of CWM. 6.0.2.5 won't mount your SD card. Nowt hat your phone gets detected properly in device manager, fastboot will see it, so you can flash 5.0.8.2 or 6.0.1.0 to your phone. Then you can mount the SD.
how are you not getting this. the phone is dead, i have no OS on the phone, i managed to wipe everything. OS SD card etc. now i cant get into my SD card when connecting to computer.
doesn't matter if im in fastboot or CWM in fastboot my computer recognizes an android 1.0 device. CWM a nexus s device. but nothing more. cant for the life of me figure out how the hell im supposed to get a firmware on to the phone, if i could get into sd card i could jut do it from CWM but no luck..
exactly how im i supposed to just flash CWM to 5.0.8.2? explain like im 5! remember cant do it from android OS since that doesn't exist on the phone, and cant do it from SD-card since that is a no show.

If you're going to get aggressive I won't go on and help you.
As I wrote: fastboot
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_fastboot_intro#Installing_recovery_using_fastboot
The fact the OS doesn't boot is irrelevant. Instead of downloading the whole Android SDK, you can get fastboot and adb from here:
http://dottech.org/downloads/adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.zip
Turn your phone off. Then hold VOL + and press POWER. Brings you to fastboot menu, where it shows 4 menus and a green Andy in the background

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

On this screen, you can use fastboot as described in the link above to flash a custom recovery. Your phone needs to be connected via USB, and the drivers installed (PDA.net drivers were for that)
The command is pretty straight forward:
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img
your_recovery_image.img being the file you want to flash.
Suggested recoveries:
CWM 5.0.8.2 or 6.0.1.0.
So once you're done flashing your recovery, you can reboot, this time to recovery. From there, as mentioned earlier, you can mount your USB storage, transfer a rom, and so forth.
