Unable to mount File System

I just flashed to Pinnacle 1.3( was on Fasty III before ) and I've noticed that with Gingerbread Roms, i just cant seem to be able to Mount the File system on my Windows 7 pc.
Using USB-Debugging mode, i connect my Capy to my pc and then mount the file system, but it doesnt show up in my PC
i also tried directly mounting it as Mass Storage, again not showing up!
Tried all USB Ports, Different Cable etc etc
Weird thing is, when i flash back to Stock using Odin 1 click, ie when im on JF6, I am able to Mount the File system!!!
Another Weird thing is, that i am able to Mount my phone ( with Pinnacle or Fasty) on my friends PC, by installing the same drivers that i have for my PC
whats Wrong? I have also uninstalled all drivers and re installed them, used driver cleaners etc

Never had that problem on win 7. Don't know what to tell you.

Are you using the correct drivers?

Yea!! i am...i really dont know whats the problem! and i dont wanna format the whole thing!
Im using the drivers mentioned in the Sticky Threads...ODIN 1 click thread to be precise

When you say you tried another cable, do you mean another SAMSUNG cable or something else? The problem you describe is very often attributable to the cable. The Samsung cable that came with my Cappy worked just fine with my old computer (PowerMac G5), but refused to work with my new iMac.
I tried also using a RocketFish micro USB cable, and had zero luck with that.
After much screwing around and swearing, I tried using my wife's MOTOROLA cable, and the computer recognized the phone with that.
I'm nothing close to an expert on electronics, but I suspect it has something to do with voltages on different computers.
I suggest trying to get your hands on a Motorola cable and seeing if that fixes it. Perhaps the Gingerbread ROMs have different voltage settings? Dunno...but try a Motorola cable.

hmmmm, i just tried a micro usb cable from a blackberry....ill try out the Motorola one....thanks for the suggestion

You may have another option, too...at least for transferring files. I've been using an app called WiFi File Explorer PRO for several weeks, and I love it. You can connect to the phone via WiFi (if you have it available) and transfer files back and forth just using a web browser on your computer.

Since I started using this app, I haven't needed to futz with a cable at all. It obviously won't help you with Odin, Heimdall, or any one-click utilities that require you to be connected via USB, but it will help you get files on your phone for flashing with CWM.
Not sure if it's an option for you, but it might help alleviate some of your issue.

Great Suggestion and seems very handy...thanks a lot!

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.

Can't copy large files to phone

Hey guys
I been unable to copy large files to my phone or the sd card while i use the mtp or camera method. I can copy small files without a problem, but when the file is 100mb or larger i will always get an error. Is there any fix for this?
I attached a picture of the error i get.

I just copied a 350MB file and played it back w/o any problems via USB.
How are you copying the file (USB/WiFi/?) and what platform/tools are being used?

I'm using windows 7 x64 server pack 1. I'm using the original usb it came it but no luck. Tried my nexus usb and still same problem. I always get that error. I can cope other files under 100mb without a problem.
Edit: I try to copy it by my computer were the device appears, do I need a software to copy files?

Welcome to the wonders of mtp!
Are you copying to the sd card? If so it could be a bad card. If it happens on internal storage also ..well you now know why mtp suxs ass.
You might want to try the usb storage mod although that only works for the sd card.
And no you should not need any special software mtp is supported in win7

Damn MTP crap..lol.. I kept trying with no luck, but i notice that the drivers always try to install when i plug and unplug the device. I have installed the drivers before, but the phone kept trying to install with fails. Is there a way to clean my pc of all samsung drivers so that i could try a fresh install again?

I was having the same issue. was pissing me off so badly. my problem was I was using the front USB on my computer. ( I built my own) So I switched it to a port in the back of the computer and it works no problems now. Was weird.....

I'm having the same problem on a mac laptop. I haven't tried a different computer but on the same mac, i didn't have problems with MTP on Galaxy Nexus.
It took some cursing and persistence to transfer my songs over...

GS3 is a crap I sell it for Xperia S. I wish I bought the Xperia S first. GS3 is too expensive and found out that Xperia S has better screen, camera.. And regarding the Quad Core of GS3, It doesn't do much compare to Xperia S, dual core is enough, Quad Core is their advertisement to sell their phones. Multitasking in Xperia S is enough. Opening 10 apps at the same time to make the Quad Core fully functional?? WTF 10 apps at the same time?!?

Carefully check

This error indicates that the GSIII is refusing to have crap music put on it.

I got it to work connecting it on a usb port on the back of my pc and by re-installing the drivers a few times. The copying speed is very slow compared to my old phone. Thanks for the help guys.

[Q] Black Bean AOKP v3.1.7 for HTC Evo 4G (not LTE or 3D or shift)

I just downloaded and flashed the ROM for Black Bean AOKP v.3.1.7 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1820847
I like it a lot. I am experiencing a problem right now though.
When I plug in a USB cable to my computer and then attempt to click on the USB connected (Touch to copy files to/from your computer) I get an error:
"Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" Report or OK are my only options. I have tried reporting but not sure where it is going.
I do not have any backups or new ROMS on my phone's SD Card so I do not know how to fix this.
Please advise/recommend.
Thank you,
David

[Completed] Weird Problem with OTG

I currently have 2 external hd I use for OTG, 3tb Passport Ultra and a 4tb Passport, both formatted to exFat. At first, the 4tb works like a charm. Suddenly, got an error from it from my android tablet that it was damaged and needs to be reformatted. Plugged it into my computer and my computer recognized it and its contents so i rand chkdsk and found no errors. When I tried it again on my tablet, it displayed the same error so I opted to format it again to exFat and copy some videos on it and tested it on my tablet. Unfortunately I ran into the same error. Basically my tablet cant recognize this external HD anymore without help of stickmount on exfat or paragon on ntfs. My other hd still works even though I reformatted it again and my tablet seems to recognize it without a problem. Has anyone come across something like this before?

Hi !
Please give us more info about your tablet , model / android version/ software status ( rooted , unblocked bootloader , mods installed ) in order to provide assistance , thank you
Cheers !

My tablet is a Galaxy Tab S2 (T-810) 5.1.1. stock root.
I feel that the problem lies with the external hd instead. All my android device sees it as corrupted but it works with no problem with Windows. I can only mount it with stickmount and paragon.

I don`t know how it worked at first , 4TB hdd needs lot of power to work on a Samsung device , you may need a Y cable
If stickmount does the trick then keep on using it , it may be software related , maybe an updated application did something
I may suggest to reflash the stock firmware and try on a clean system but a 4TB hdd it looks too much for a tablet

I use a y cable on it. The thing is, it used to worked before. One day it suddenly said that I need to reformat it again. I have another external hd (3tb) and it works no problem. I think something happened on the hard drive itself.

It could be a connector problem as well, a shortcut or something

I guess yes , the version is correct so it is for your device
