[Q] Nexus S USB Mount Problems [Q]

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). It wasn't like this before I installed the new update to the cygeonmod rom. I tried going back to stock gingerbread, other roms. Like at least 4 roms i've tried I just don't know what to do now. Any Ideas?

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'm just trying to access the storage, I've tried different usb ports but it just keeps saying USB Device Not Recognized.

I'm assuming you're using Windows... can you go under Device Manager and see if there is one with an exclamation mark (!) when your device is plugged in?

Had the same problem and it ended up being a faulty USB cable. Pretty unlikely, but try a different cable and see if that helps.

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.

Have you installed the drivers from http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html?

Can you go back to Device Manager?
Double click on the "Unknown Device", then click on "Details" tab, under "Property", select "Hardware Ids", and take a screenshot of what's there?

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?

download and install PDANet
worked like a charm for me, installed my usb drivers to my phone which i had problems with just like you.

No i'm not able to access it with fastboot or adb devices. All it says is USB device not recognized.

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.

[Q] My PC doesn't recognize the Moto G

Hi folks,
Well... I don't know what is happening with my G. Everytime I connect it via USB, nothing happens, the directory doesn't appear at the explorer. I've been trying to install the drivers and sometimes the PC shows a correct installing, sometimes not.
I don't know what to do. Maybe format the Moto G...

1. Make sure you have good data cable
2. Usb port on your pc/computer is work
3. Install driver for your system.
And last, please make sure you choose the right " USB computer connection " method by going to Settings > Storage > tap on right top menu, select USB Computer Connection.

Install the Motorola drivers

First of all, thank you both. Sorry for the delay.
The USB Ports and the cable are ok. I've already installed drivers via Motorola Device Manager. After selecting USB Computer Connection, I check only the MTP option and nothing happens.
Maybe there is some cause of the problem:

Selecting the troubleshoot option, Windows starts to search drivers and, again, nothing happens. It can't fix the problem.
Here is the screen after that step:

It seems that the drivers aren't installed properly. I don't know why it's happening... I've already used this method to transfer musics and all kind of stuff. Maybe something went wrong after some android update... I don't know.

Do you have the adb drivers installed?

I've just installed it here, but still not working. I used this version.

burrt said:
In Device Manager, uninstall the drivers for the XT1033 and replug the phone in. If the problem persists, you can install the drivers manaully, don't use the Windows Update search. Is this the Moto 4G version? Maybe check that the drivers match your device. Last alternative is to root it manually through command window which imo is the best method.

Well, I've already done it.
How do the manual installation work? Is it through the ADB?
No. I don't know if it's a South America's version, but it has 16GB of memory and two sim card slots.
My main doubt is why it's happening, because I transferred files normally before.
How is this last method? What is the command?
Thank you so much! You are helping me a lot.

I am an experienced user an it is not a driver's problem (I have already reinstalled drivers and changed USB cables). If it helps, I am on stock 4.4.4 rooted.
I don't know if anyone has ever had the same problem and can give a hint! Thanks a lot!

Try to switch USB port in PC, reinstall your android (complete wipe of system, then reinstall it). Or maybe your windows is causing this problem.

Cable or port issue. USB port on phone, computer or cable.

Thanks, but I have already tried on multiple PCs,multiple ports and multiple cables. I don't know if it can be a sofware problem that a wipe or change of ROM can solve :/

I experienced the same issue yesterday when I tried to flash Lollipop on my Nexus5.
Using the original USB cable that came with the Nexus did the trick.

Try turning USB Debugging on Dev Options. It might help.

Moto G3 not detected in Windows 10. Plz help.

Hi guys,
I have upgraded the Moto G3 to marshmallow and PC to Windows 10. After this upgradation Moto G3 is not detected in Windows 10. I have checked the device manager and nothing is changing in the device manager. The mobile is getting charged but no MTP connection. I have tried most of the solutions like
1. Enable usb debugging and change usb config to MTP from charging after installing the motorola drivers.
2. Tried installing the motorola device manager and did the same as above but no use.
Plz help

Does your phone have 6.0 or 6.0.1?
Mine has 6.0.1 and I use file transfer mode when connected to my PC. It is detected.
If your phone has 6.0 then upgrade to 6.0.1

tnx for replying. My phone is having 6.0.1 and I have tried changing the usb debugging settings from charging only to media transfer protocol.
Usually when phone is connected it shows the hardware changes in device manager but when I connect my phone its not showing any hardware changes.
Also when I tried connecting the same phone to linux it directly takes my phone as usb drive.

Sorry for late reply. When your phone is connected to Windows, swipe down from notification panel ( status bar ). It would be showing "USB for charging". Tap on it and press "File transfer mode". You're ready to go.
By the way did you face this problem while you had Windows 8/7?(if you upgraded for free) or did the computer come with Windows 10 itself(is it a new computer)?
---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------
As you said in the question, after marshmallow update this is one change seen. It isn't directly read as USB drive.

But every time I connect the phone to my PC, I just change to File Transfer Mode and go ahead. It is detected. What happens is when it is in charging mode, phone is detected but internal storage and SD card is not shown. But after changing to file transfer mode both are shown and then I transfer required files.
Moreover nothing has to be even installed.

it seems there is no problem in your case, charging and MTP are two different things.
When MTP mode is on, you will have MTP and Charging working together, but
you will not have MTP while only Charging mode is enabled.

lost my password on Nikon camera with android system

I have recently found my old Nikon S800c, unfortunately i have forgotten the password i have set years ago. The camera has no volume buttons and seemingly no way to get to a bootloader to factory reset it. I've searched through the internet and i cannot find any way to reset/recover my device.
basically lost password of old Nikon s800c with no volume button, usb debugging off and runs android 2.3.3

If there is a way to flash its firmware, flashing the firmware might remove the password.

I just did, it didn't change anything about the android side of things
When you boot up, you are basically using it as a normal digital camera, then you can enter the android side of the device, which i forgot my password of

1. There's no way to enter recovery mode as it doesn't have a volume button
2. It doesn't have a wifi connection and can't connect to one without putting in the password
3. The droidkit thing wont work as it needs the device brand
4. Usb debugging isn't on so i can't use Android sdk tools
