Had no problems until this evening. Now when I plug the Vibrant into the PC via USB cable I cannot see/access the Vibrant drives. Windows 7 shows the Vibrant in Device Manager and says no issues. Rebooted both. Uninstalled Vibrant from Device Manager and plugged it back in. Still not showing my drives. Help? TIA
you did select "mount usb" from the notification bar.....right?
Bingo!
Thanks! Didn't know about this because before it seemed automatic but that was the problem!

Hi all... i got my V for a month and now it is not charging anymore. neither from the ac adapter nor my computer usb..and my computer couldnt detect my phone is plug to the USB port....just nothing pops out. The debugging mode status icon, and the storage icon is not shown on my phone.
basically... i tried everything i found on Google...
reboot my phone, pop out the battery, change cable[from other optimus V], changed battery, different ports on my computer, different computer, different AC adapter, different SD card, format my SD card, factory reset, and the last thing i tried is to rooted my phone and flash with a I.H.O CM7.1 ROM.
no hope at all; however, when i plugged to the usb port or the ac adapter, then i take out the battery.. the phone does power up and say required battery....
so, if anyone had this problem before and solved it.. please help me out. between, i cant return the phone anymore.. it is over a month.
forgot to mention... it is the second time this charging issue happened. the first time, it fixed itself after i plugged into the PC, windows recognized it, and installed the drivers. [well, i already installed the driver before this happened, because i was doing some coding and debugging]
this time.... windows is doing nothing, no message pop out, no new driver found.. just nothing. and my phone doesn't shows the debugging icon on the status bar even thought i ticked the debugged mode On, and connected to the usb.
sorry for my bad grammar =[
maybe see if your pc recognizes it while rebooted into recovery.
you could also try removing all the lg and Android drivers in device manager (select show hidden devices to get at them) and then plugging the phone into the pc again.
or use a Ubuntu "live cd" to check the connectability... micro$oftware is uppity, my kid's windoze computer doesn't like my v, although it used to see it fine.
I've also read that toggling debugging, disconnecting and reconnecting the cable, then toggling usb debugging again can help.
also, froyo roms are supposed to go to a charge mode when turned off but still plugged in.
Yeah, so i've read plenty of topics about USB problems, but none gave me the
anserw.
I'm running Villain ROM 3.0. I just cant connect my phone to the computer (Mac).
It work well before also after flashing Villain.
What i tried:
1. connecting my phone without usb debuging ->phone gives the sound and report in the notification bar : "MTP - initializing" then "USB Connected, MTP-connected" But it does not gives a connection with my mac.
2. Connecting my phone with usb debuging ->phone gives the sound, but nothing happens. nothing in the notification bar neither on the computer. It's strange becouse before it was making the same sound and giving me the info in the notification to connect.
3. I've also tried KIES air it works fine. i can see my phone content, but when im trying to send one file (130mb) there is no reaction to this.
Also some time ago i was able to get usb working by simply choosing usb debuging and restarting phone.
But now i have no acces to my storage
Please help
I have a similar problem.
When I connect my SGSII to my PC (with USB Debugging On) I see 2 Removable Drives in Windows' Explorer. If I click on either one I get the "Please Insert Disk". If I connect to the same USB with USB Debugging off, then Kies Starts but does not connect.
Now the weird bit, if I do the same thing in the next USB port, then everything works fine.
Going back to the first USB slot then the problem reappears.
The 2 USB slots are next to each other and go back to the same controller on the motherboard. I have removed Kies and reinstalled Kies. I have uninstalled all the drivers. I have even changed the USB cable. When I plug a USB External Hard Drive into either USB, it works fine.
Maybe the phone just likes the one connection per computer. I'll have to test that out in my work's PC.
Update:
managed to get a microUSB cable and tested it on my work's PC. Exact same situation. Both PCs run Windows XPpro.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Now, when you said that, i checked with my second usb por, and everything works fine .
So thanks for your help. One working with sgs2 usb port is enought for me
I installed the drivers for the phone (v3.0.0.007 & v3.0.0.017), rebooted PC since it wasn't working when I plugged the phone in, then plugged in phone which worked (couple devices showed up in device manager), fired up ADB which I already had installed for my OG Droid & Nook Color, "adb devices" returns nothing. Replug phone in, select HTC Sync for the method, verified USB Debugging was showing up, "adb devices" - still nothing. Now in Device Manager, I don't have any HTC Android devices like I saw a minute ago. Now I just have "Unknown device" and it won't accept the USB drivers from C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64. When I plug in the phone, it no longer prompts me what I want to do on the phone, it just connects USB Debugging and nothing else - no disk drive, no HTC Sync, no nothing. Rebooted PC & phone, same deal when I plug in the phone - it just has an "unknown device" and doesn't let me choose HTC Sync or anything. I made sure the check box is still checked for "ask me" under settings -> connect to PC.
I am reinstalling drivers now and am not going to install the full HTC Sync package. Maybe that'll work better. So far, it appears that the drivers and/or HTC Sync software are crap.
Unplugged phone
Uninstalled all 3 HTC pieces in appwiz.cpl
Installed v3.0.0.007 drivers
Plugged phone in
Got message about failing to install hardware
Device manager now shows: Other devices - Android Phone
It did this the first time I tried installing stuff and a reboot of the PC fixed it, so I'm rebooting...brb!
No luck still. Trying some more stuff. If anyone out there has any ideas, let me know. My phone still won't prompt me for action when I plug in the USB.
Uninstalled HTC USB drivers (v3.0.0.007)
Installed HTC Sync package, including HTC USB drivers v3.0.0.017 & USB BMP drivers
Plugged in phone - same problem
Running out of ideas. Might do factory reset on phone. Might try another PC.
OK I think I figured it out. You have to turn off USB Debugging. As soon as I did that, my PC found new hardware and the phone displayed the expected prompt. It mounted an E: drive and wanted to load TL-bootstrap.exe, which I didn't do.
When I go to the debugging options, it shows as already on even though I just disabled it. I uncheck it and recheck and it goes back to broken state - PC shows an unusable "Android Phone" under Other Devices.
Hmm...now what?
Had to go to a meeting, so I did a factory reset on my phone and set it to not sync, so it should be just like it was when I first got it from Verizon.
Without USB debugging turned on, the phone appears to connect to my PC properly, but HTC Sync says "no device connected" and the phone says "Unable to find HTC Sync on your PC. Please make sure that HTC Sync is installed and opened blah blah blah".
The only hardware that appears in device manager is a pair of "HTC Android Phone USB Device" in the Disk Drives section, as well as a 3rd one under DVD/CD-ROM Drives.
Since HTC Sync isn't working, I guess the drivers are completely failing. I hate crappy drivers. Might have to just mess with my phone from a different PC.
Now USB Debugging won't load at all. I toggle it on and off, disconnect and reconnect USB cable, toggle it again.....nothing happens. Seems to be going downhill quickly.
Uninstalled all HTC software again, including a WModem one that I didn't see before (could be leftover from rooting the wife's Incredible).
Plugged phone in to see what it does - pretty much the same as when all the HTC software is installed. That is, 3 drives mount when USB Debugging is turned off. Turning debugging on is working now, but there is no driver installed on my PC. However, it doesn't matter if I install drivers, it still won't use them.
Does anyone know if there is a special driver for Win7 64-bit?
I have Windows 7 x64 Pro at the office and home, and am using the drivers from HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe just fine. Try doing a hard power cycle on the phone (power off, then on -- or yank the battery) and restart your computer. Use a USB port that is on the back of your motherboard or from a trustworthy powered USB hub (undervoltage will cause you all kinds of grief). Try another cable. Use charge-only mode, not HTC Sync.
Sorry for the spam earlier. Ya, it was just my laptop. My home PC is Win7 x64 as well and it works fine. Wireless tether is workin'. Loving the Rezound!
REPLY:ADB not seeing the device
yeahh i got so scared because ADB would not recognize my Rezound after Re-Flashing the Stock Rom because for some reason my phone suddenly kept re-booting over and over non stop.. so anyways.. i found a fix. well it worked for me at least. i re-installed the HTC drivers and then on the phone i turned "USB Debugging" On. then i plugged the phone to the computer, opened up CMD and when typing
"cd c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\ ENTER"
"adb devices ENTER" it came back as
List of devices attached
HT19YS204824 device
Before it would say error. it worked for me. hopefully this is at least of some help
hey guys, hopefully i can get some help with this...
flashed my Galaxy s2 to 4.0.3 (I9100 XXLPQ) then rooted it using chainfire kernel (followed instrcutions to the tee) everything worked great.. then ran triangleaway app, everythign still fine so far (weo)
a day later i connected my phone to pc to transfer some stuff but it doesnt show up at all anymore. tried connecting on 3x computers w/ different cables. opened device manager, that doesnt pick it up either. kies troubleshoot froze. i decided to do a factory reset (erasing internal sd as well), i had nothing important on the phone anyway. this didnt work. when i try and enable usb storage mode it says i should unplug the cable.so when i unplugand select the mode, it tells me i should connect the cable to use mass storage mode. i plug it in while thats up to see if anything happens...nothing
also there seems to be a huge amount of battery draining going on. this morning i turned on my phone just to complete the charge. i left it for 20min before i left but it was still charging. thought whatever just took it, got to work the thing is like 5% done already
any help would be appreciated thanks!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's because you have to click under the orange droid to put the phone into mass storage mode. You selected a different USB mode but you have to enable it in order to use it.

How? because i usually do it via menu -> settings-> USB utilities USB mass storage , "connect storage to pc"
Yes, even me now I can't connect to USB not even to the Download mode!
I have no way to even root my phone!!
It's not me, it's more like a general problem floating around!
How about your device-usb driver? they are updated or installed?
Hey guys today i got the samsung galaxy s2 gt-i9100 and the phone works fine but theres something weird happening and is that everytime i plug the phone to the computer it charges but it doesnt let me use the phone like a usb drive i cant acces my phone and in the notification bar it doesnt show the option to mount to usb, and if i put the phone in download mode odin does not recognize the device and everytime i plug the phone its says one of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it.
Do you know what could it be? is this something than can be fix?
Before you can connect the phone via odin, you need to have the drivers installed. So first thing you need to do is have your computer detect the phone.
-See if the cable is working..if you have another cable, try your luck with that.
-clean the phone's USB port.
-try putting your phone into USB debuhging mode from the settings menu.
-Im assuming your still on stock. Dial *#7284# and on the USB option select PDA. This worked for me while I had trouble on stock.
