USB Data Connection Issues - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay first off I'm running Senseless Energy, the latest updated version.
When I plug my phone into my PC, it does not give me the option to change it to any other connection mode. I have the option checked to ask me everytime I connect the phone but it does not, it doesn't even show that the phone is connected at the top of the phone. I can run all my ADB commands, I've tried that and it works. I also noticed that if I go to Menu>Settings>Wireless & Networks, and enable USB tethering, then disable it, all my USB Connection options will then be in the statusbar like they should be. It will let me change what connection type, etc., but when I disconnect the cable, the USB connection options stay in my statusbar until I click it and it gives me an error message.
I've also noticed that my mount/storage in my recovery, that also works as well. It's just a hassle having to go through all these steps to put my phone in disk drive mode when I connect it to a PC so any help is appreciated.

Do you have this problem on other ROMs also? It could just be a bug in Senseless. I have the best results with my Shift connecting the sd card to my laptop via cwm myself.

It works when I mount through cwm. I'll flash a different ROM and let you know; don't know why I didn't do that to start with

Well I flashed newSense and it worked properly on there.
I also flashed a clean install of Senseless Energy, just to be sure, and it didn't work.

I even flashed the PCSCII.apk from the newSense ROM and it still wouldn't work on Senseless Energy grrrrr!!! Oh well it's still my fav and DD :good: :good:

Well newSENSE iS sense 2.1 and senseless is 3.5. Try using parts from newRUNNY or Energy instead. They're 3.5

having trouble connecting the nexus s to a pc

i looks like my phone doesn't recognize when i'm connecting it to the PC,
i dont see any option about mounting the sd card on the notification bar, actually there is nothing said about charging over there...
i also discoverd, when i enter the *#*#4636#*#* mode, so at the battery info it says:
Battery Status: Charging
Power Plug: Unplugged
and i'm quite sure its the problem, because the power plug should mention if its AC or USB charging....
i think i've already tried everything!
some other cable, other pc, i've tried flashing another ROM, going back to the default ROM...and nothing! its still doesn't recognize it...
what could be the problem?

i've already tried with different cable.... it's the same...
was it working before? go to the main phone settings, application, development, uncheck usb debugging.

next step would be to plug it in via the same usb into another computer. the last step would be to wipe data/factory reset the phone.
I had this problem as well, what fixed it for me was plugging it into a computer running XP. After that, it worked fine.

unfortunately i have already tried all of that...-/
are there any other suggestions.....? i'm really frustrated....
please help! having the same problem.
This is not going to fix the usb not being recognized issue but is a alternate option. I have a working usb but choose not to use it unless have to.
I use my dropbox account. I download all files there and when I want to flash just sync to phone and flash rom, kernel & theme

at the moment the phone is stocked and is not rooted...so without approach to the sd card from the pc, i will not be able to root it nor flash any ROM....
If you have tried all option then looks like may need a replacement. I don't have the black tie program but there are treads on the return policy

Captivate not detected by computers

Okay, I honestly have googled the crap out of this, and scoured the forums and all, but I can't seem to find a solution. My Captivate seems to have become invisible to computers. I've tried it out on 3 different laptops, tried installing kies, installing drivers, restarting the computers, restarting the phone, restarting the usb debugging, turning mass storage on and off, still the computers give no indication that the phone is even there.
I'm guessing the problem is within my phone, as it doesn't work on any computer, and I'd like to get it worked out, as I was hoping to try out Cyanogen mod, and Odin won't work without usb connection. For the record, I am running Firefly 2.4 with the Suckerpunch #50 kernel. Anyone have any ideas?
Try flashing a more updated kernal

Same Here...
I have also been trying to find a solution to this after I flashed Di11i's 6.0 awhile back apparently my phone can no longer be picked up in download mode by Odin either XD I was also hoping to also try Cyanogenmod.
Tried updating Suckerpunch, no go. Suppose I could try another kernel, but I'm a little nervous as bricking finally seems like a real possibility. Also, I haven't read about anyone having this problem with suckerpunch. This is seriously going to cramp my style.

I was having the same problem trying to istall darky's ROM.
unplug phone from computor
reboot in colckwork recovery
select "mounts and storage"
select "mount usb storage"
select "mount"
Then select "back" until you can roboot
Hope that helps.
p.s. I've been having this problem all week with every custom ROM i have installed.
I thought that one had potential, but no go. Thanks for the try, though.
I found that after I was still having the same problem when back in stock.
Odin3 would not see the phone in debugging mode, but would see the phone in sync mode.
phone would not mount. I would select mount phone from dropdown, the phone would give normal mounting response, but the computer would not see the phone.
Here is what I finally did.
uninstalled the SGS driver
reinstalled the driver as administrator
while waiting for it to install
entered recovery mode on phone and cleared cache and all user data
read a book while waiting for driver to finish installing...
rebooted computer
enabled USB debugging
connected phone to computer - got an installing driver for device message
ODIN3 worked fine after that
USB mounted with no trouble
did a master clear and everything worked fine
rooted to phone with AIO toolbox - everything went fine and I ODIN3 one click and three button see the phone properly in debugging mode, and USB still mounts properly.
I doubt if clearing the cache and stuff did anything, but it doesnt hurt. I suspect I made a change to the phone that confused the driver. Im also not sure if connecting for the first time in dubugging mode is important or not, but i suggest doing it to be safe

Load up odin and then try connecting in download mode and see if odin detects it.

Not a thing. That's actually when I first noticed that the phone wasn't being recognized, as a matter of fact. I was doing the cyanogen mod thing, already applied the efsbackup.zip. Which didn't hurt anything fortunately, or I'd be completely screwed.

Cant use odin and mount sd

So.... for some reason i cant mount my sd card so that i can get to my files in my phone... tried screwing around with settings and usb debugging and doesnt work at all.... went to recovery and set the thing to mount too and didnt work.... Now for some reason i cant use odin the yellow thing wont pop up in odin even though its on download on my phone. Also i cant restore my phone to a earlier version. It will work fine while going though the files and then it will get stuck on android_secure and it just freezes... waited for like near 20 min and still nothing. The phone still works fine though. Plz help me..... i want to try out [email protected]#
Sounds like you're on CWM3. Thats a known bug that it hangs on restore. As for the rest, sounds like user error.
Did you try either reloading or re downloading the driver? If the computer isn't picking it up its a driver issue, as for your mount problem that could be did you switch to gingerbread friendly cwm? If so, it will only flash zips if I remember right, if not try a different cwm.

First make sure your USB debugging option is enabled and that your set to mass storage. If those don't fix then reflash the ROM using the correct steps.
I had the same issue with Heinz 57 05/07 release (I think). I would have to reboot repeatedly to get it recognized but the reflash back to 2.2 then Heinz has worked like a charm!

Charge won't go into USB mode

First off, I have 3 Charges in the house. One is stock , one is on GBE 1.8 still and mine is GBE1.9RC2.3 with EXT4 on /system, /data, /dbdata and /cache. So, I have some idea what I'm doing.
This issue is driving me crazy. My daughter's Charge (stock with voodoo) will not connect properly so she can sync with Doubletwist. If I plug my phone it, it is recognized as a USB device and Doubletwist see it without a problem so it shouldn't be the drivers on the computer. When I plug hers in, the phone asks if I want to turn on USB mode (like mine does), but the computer says device drivers failed and it shows up only as a CD drive. Doubletwist will not work with that.
I've gone through her phone several times looking for the magic switch that will make it work, but I can't find anything. I've tried 3 different computers - all of which recognize my phone fine, but not hers...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm just about to the point of flashing her phone with GBE1.9RC2.3 and telling her to get over not having TW (she's just used to it) and hoping that the new rom will work.
Set the USB settings to "Ask on Connection", it's a known problem with Gummy. Also, if that doesn't work you will need to flash the SD card fix(if you haven't already)

I have tried ask on connection. The phone does ask but doesn't end up working right. This phone is stock. Not Gummy. I think I voodoo'd it but need to verify. Regardless of the kernel and recovery its running Verizons latest rom software - EE4?
Could the SD Fix work even on stock?

Try the trick that worked for the Fascinate. Plug her phone into the usb with usb debugging enabled then reboot the phone while it is still connected.
Also try re-installing the Samsung drivers on the computer.

I may be wrong on this, but my understanding was the sd card showing up as a CD drive on EE4 roms stemmed from flashing a custom kernel, which seems applicable in this case if the phone is stock with voodoo. When this happened to me I already had the fix file on the sd card, and flashing the fix ... well, fixed it.
I too was having similar issues with this on my charge running rc2.3, lo and behold, all I needed to do was reboot my pc, then reconnect my charge to the usb cable... Its been so long since I have actually used my desktop properly. Lol

It's working here. Do USB icons show up next to the clock?
Just flashed the same ROM. USB works fine for me.
no USB icon next to clock, tried re-flashing, even ran a super wipe script.
the weirder thing is that with other ROMs everything is working fine, except the 3g on tf101g.
we'll try flashing again.
OK tried re-flashing, re-wiped trough cold boot menu, format each partition seperatly still not working.
does anybody maybe knows which files of the rom are responsible for the 3g working fine.
that way i'll b able to create a hybrid.
thanks for any help guys

Don't wipe with script. Do a normal wipe and install it again.
did it already, with and witout a script.
startong to think that maybe something is wrong with my firmware.
how can i check my device's firmware?>??
it does not show at the About section...
Got it fixed you guys..
so if anyone ever encounter these problems hre the steps i took to sort it out:
Fisrt, symptoms:
1)device isn't being recognized when connectd to a pc
2)device reset it self every few miutes
solution:
reflash recovery bootloader and firmware, i used that zip file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552303
then, you will see that the recovery console has changed and that you can't install CM9 Rom.
so what i have done is re-installing the new recovery by Roach
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213723
then format all partitions and re-installing CM9 everything worked for me after these steps
GoodLuck
