When I first got my Gs2 LTE and before I rooted it etc. I connected with Kies on my PC. part of the process involved d/ling the proper drivers. At least it'll let you know if the connection is working.

Did I download the proper drivers? And are these the phone drivers or for my PC?

NO. It's kies that you load onto your PC. (It takes a while for it to install itself). I can't remember all the steps but it guides you. Then you connect up via USB and away you go.

If you can connect with Kies then you have the right drivers. You've got USB debugging enabled in settings/developer options. Now when you connect to the pc usb port you should get a popup on the status bar pull that down and hit turn on USB storage. That should be all you need.
OH, I forgot you're still on Gingerbread and unrooted ..is that right?

Checked usb debugging and still no pull down notice, just charges. Kies doesnt notice it, just says plug in device.

1. From the Home screen, tap  Settings  Wireless
and network  USB utilities Connect storage to PC.
This is from my Rogers version manual.

1. From the Home screen, tap  Settings  Wireless

If i have my usb cable in it pops up "usb connected. remove the cable" if i do that and press "ok" takes me back to "connect storage to pc" if i click it then it says "turn usb debugging off" click ok then says "connect usb to mass storage" ido that and it takes me right back to the "connect storage to pc"

Ya that pull down thing is probably only in ICS..
OK at any time during this connection process are you able to look at you phone storage via Windows Explorer on your PC?
Here's the rest from my manual!
1. From the Home screen, tap  Settings  Wireless
and network  USB utilities Connect storage to PC.
2. Connect a USB cable from your phone to your PC.
3. Tap Connect USB storage. Both the phone and computer
display icons to show that the device is mounted. As soon
as the connection is established a drive letter is assigned to
the phone’s storage device.
A pop-up window displays on the PC when connected.
4. Open the folder to view files.
5. Copy files between your PC and your memory card as
required.
6. To exit, tap Disconnect storage from PC.

I just put in the first leak just to get going, looking for a stable rom as I've done my share of reporting on bugs..... any ideas on a stable daily rom? Also after I loaded the ics ucle4 I rerooted the phone installed cwm and super user and titanium backup says I'm not rooted?

Sounds familiar. Have you installed busy box?
Roms are all phone model dependent. I'm using SkyIcs.

I have just cleaned with some alcohol but it still occurs.

Seems like u have hardware related issue, I would suggest to get it checked by SSC.
But before u give ur phone, make sure u have stock rom with stock unrooted kernel. U dnt have cwm recovery and ur download counter must be 0.

hmm..same error was in my GALAXY 3 when I installed custom ROM. Try to re-installed the ROM if you haven't then do factory reset. if did already, contact directly to SSC..:cyclops:

MTP Initialization issue
Hi All,
I'm new to use Galaxy R the same model. I don't know the issue i'm facing is directly related to MTP Initializer or not but the issue i'm facing is I'm not able to access the subdirectory and file system of my phone in PC. At initial When I connect my mobile to PC I was able to access the files and at that time MTP initializer message never appeared as notification but from few days ago whenever i connect my mobile to PC i'm getting notification of MTP initializer to my mobile and I'm not able to access subdirectories and files(music, video, photo) present in mobile although the root folders are appearing.
I thought this might be an MTP issue so posting this in this thread. Please help me how can I access(Copy/past/delete to/from PC) my all files.

firstSmartPhoneUser,
Try to access your files using USB mass storage. Go to Settings-Wireless and network-USB utilities, and click "Connect storage to PC" button. Then connect USB cable and tap "Connect USB storage". If that doesn't help, you can try to connect wirelessly with "Kies air" app, or something else, like MyPhoneExplorer (this app needs to be installed both on the phone and on PC).

MT4GS not recognized

Hey All
For some reason, my phone is no longer being recognized by my computer when I plug in the USB. I cannot mount the sd card, but the phone does charge (I don't even get the prompt to mount). I've tried several different ROMs and it's the same on all. I think it may have to do with formatting my sd card. Could I be missing the drivers? I tried installing ones I found online but haven't had any luck.
Any suggestions?
thanks
Nick

I don't know what OS you're using but go to your computer's device manager and see for missing drivers.
Or...
U don't know what ROM you are now but go to settings and look for Connect to PC
Then change the settings to mount as USB storage.

You may be missing USB drivers for your computer. I have a new USB 3.0 port on my laptop and without the proper driver, it wouldn't recognize anything

I had the same thing happen once & couldn't figure it out. The day before it was FINE. Once I reinstalled my drivers, it was up & running again. I'm STILL baffled as to what happened but I just blame anything I can't figure out on WINDOWS.

Can u mount it via recovery?
::Respect::

Make sure you have "Apps and ADB" selected under /Settings/Development/Root Access. If your computer runs Linux, Google "51-android.rules". If you're on Windows, check your drivers.

Have you tried connecting another phone or device using the same microUSB cable?
When it fails to get recognised there could only be the following possibilities:
1. Faulty phone USB port
2 faulty microUSB cable
3. You are connecting to a USB3 hub that doesn't have its drivers installed.
4. Faulty computer USB port.
To rule out 1&2 connect another phone/device using the same cable and then a different usb cable. If the second device gets recognised with the same usb cable then it should tell you the phones usb port is faulty. If the phone and the second device get recognised when you use a different cable then that should tell you the cable is faulty.
To rule out number 3 open device manager on your PC(right click on my computer and select manage, then go to device manager). Ensure that there is no "unknown device" or on the USB controllers submenu there are no entries with exclamation marks, or disabled. If there are any uninstall them then reinstall them, or enable the disabled ones. Restart the machine if needed. Then try reconnecting.
If all the above fails, try a different usb port. If it works then that confirms number 4. If the different port fails then it means your computer's usb controller hub is faulty.
Hope this helps.

Working!
Thanks All.
I appreciate the awesome tips. I thought I would try plugging it into my wife's mac and it worked fine. I then hooked it back up to my PC and magically, it worked.
I'm using CM9 on a Windows 7 PC. No idea how it got working, but it works!

I used odin to flash 2.3.6 firmware in download mode and it installed successfully, i wanted my mobile to connect to external storage device(i.e. pen drive) so i made a cable myself and also attache charger power source to that cable(hoping it would work.e. mount & read pendrive) ..After that my mobile wouldn't cnnect to my comp or laptop via usb data cable....it would charge but a usb data connection was not possible .. And finally after trying various methods i think it now is a hardware malfunction(becoz of me) and it should be given to a service center..
Rest all is working fine i can flash diff roms , camera ,wifi all working now using pacman rom so i thought service center would charge me more if i gave my mobile as it is.. they could easily charge more for seeing other rom installed So i wanted stock rom flashable by CWM..
So anyone's help is appreciated.. thanks...

what I understand from your posts is that your phone is perfectly fine but there is a problem with your pc and data cable.
Check with some other data cable,and re-install the samsung drivers for "device not recognized" error.
Use other usb port to check whether its a problem in your pc.

i never saw any such option on any rom yet!
whenever you connect with usb to a PC you get USB connected notification..click on it and enable mass storage.
never saw MTP & PTP in usb connections.
Which rom are you using?
If its 4.+ then try this

In Device Manager in Universal Serial Bus Controllers i uninstalled everything from ASMedia XHCi controllers to USB Root hub... all of them, then clicked scan for hardware changes then i connected my device to computer, then clicked the app USB mass storage for ics and JB ....on computer the elements(USb Root hub, etc.) reinstalled and there it detected my device as unknown device,,,,then for 5-10 sec a message flashed
something like this ,,...". I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I Ata mass storage " then it stopped showing not installed...
Using Pacman rom ..does have mtp,ptp,mass storage options..( when i tick any one of the three options it force closes)...
I googled over net on connectivity issue and will need sum time to format c drive and then try again...:fingers-crossed:

I wonder once in odin multi downloader i ticked the debug option only then i clicked delete driver option which may have caused the problem.......

Finally problem solved...replacing charging IC ( as the repairman said) solved comp connection problem then flashed stock rom....
