Hello guys,
I was so dumb to check the box (always make this selection) when I plugged in my USB to de PC. Now I only can use it via ActivSync. I would be nice to use my device as a storage as well. Does anyone know how to reset this?
BTW, I know my way arround my device, but no reg-edit solutions please (I'm very happy with my NRG setup now, so I don't want to mess it up).
Thanks,
Wouter

Hi again!
Ok, my situation is a bit confusing:
I had a cool Toshiba e310 a year ago. It works fine and connecting to my PC using USB was no problem.
Now I have this wonderful XDA and I was banned to connect it to my System to update some stupid things like SMS-Names !! (whatever)
Windows says: "Ah! Nice an USB device.... [I have Active Sync installed] what about searching for nice drivers... Well cannot find one, so... lets deactivate it...." ??
???
ah-ha.. k. I would say: "Nice to have a good and new hot-PNP device." I really like the XDA but XP is everything but intelligent!
How can I fix this problem? Active Sync tries to find the device but says that there was no connected device. Please check calbel.
Ok, I pulled the cable off and... tada: windows-sound-signal
Pushed it back... tada: Windows says device found... but: No active sync. no connection, no data transfer.
Do anyone have a little driver for me? I have ever handbook, every CDROM and ... well you know what within the original package.
with regards
McNugget
Try updating activesync or removing and then reinstalling if you have the latest version.
Also try a soft reset if you haven't already.
HTH
This problem haunts me, I need to soft resent almost every time.
I'll try that!
ActiveSync should detect the device but I will search for a newer version anyways...
I'll report the results later this day

My ActiveSync was too old
It works now!!
Thanks!
Had a similar problem, so switched from using front USB port to back one, and it worked.
Still the same problem if i use the front one.
Not a prob though.
Front usb works with everything else aswell, just strikes me as a little strange... :?
Dear All,
after plug my startrek to usb activesync starts and identified it and the local network connected but after seconds it disconnect from the activesync.
i'd search all the net for a solution but not finding any.
mabey the drivers?
anybody could give me the drivers for the activesync 4.5 on starttrek
thanks alot
Maddening, I just went through the same thing. Drill down into Microsoft's site, there's some additional info on reconfiguring your usb port, it was just a button, on/off kind of thing so if it's X try Y and vice versa. That solved it for me, sorry I can't be more specific but I didn't write anything down. I did get the initial link from the activesync trouble shooter however.
in my case my firewall (zone labs) was the cause.
thanks alot for replay
i've went through all the microsofts' but nothing, it still connect and disconnect.
thier is somthing else.

Hi, extract the Reg file from this Zip and run it on your PC, n reboot. Had a similar problem on mine, and it worked
Hello everyone,
I am a new user of galaxy s2 i777. I have been trying to connect the phone in usb mass storage mode.
I have gone through a lot of threads in this forum, none of them give a clear idea as to what to do.
some say install kies some say something else... I have tried many things. all of them dont seem to work.
Can anyone please guide me in a clear cut was as to what to do?
Thanks guys.
Out of the box, by the default, when plugging, usb icon will and should be displayed on the notification; pull the notification down then tap to connect the usb mass storage mode. Your PC should recognize it now.
Note: try more than one usb port.
Go to settings->wireless and network->usb utilities follow instructions
I ran into that problem after using one my sisters chargers when i was visiting my parents house. Apparently the usb cable bent the connector in my phones port. I ended up bending it back and it has worked like a charm since then
Or enable USB DEBUGGING option. If you do that as soon as you plug into any computer, the option to transfer files will automatically show in your notification/status bar.
How to enable USB Debugging:
Settings-Applications-Development-check USB debugging

To clarify:
The Galaxy S II defaults to MTP mode (media mode, similar to iPhone).
Unlike said iPhone however, we can change ours back to the UMS (USB Mass Storage) mode by enabling USB debugging.
I never found it documented anywhere, I just ran into by accident when enabling USB debugging for TB and MTP stopped working.
It took me a while to figure out why.
I actually like MTP mode (it's faster and easier to use, except in linux as I understand).
The "USB Utilities" option seems to be a per-use setting (not 100% sure, never used it). However USB debugging is a "set and forget" option.
Use steps I quoted above to enable it.
After that when you plug it in, you can select to mount it to the PC via the notification bar.
Hope that helps.
EDIT: It looks like this option was posted by at least one other person on here before: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20204599&postcount=12
Tried everything
Guys,
I have enabled USB debugging mode as you have recommended and and it still does not work. I am always getting the notification on windows as "USB device not recognized".
I have tried everything. i have installed the USB driver for I777 from the samsung website. That did not work.
Another strange thing. I tried "Wireless and Network>USB utilities>Connect storage to PC" on my FRIENDS computers(Windows 7), it works.! My phone connects in mass storage mode and I am able to transfer files as usual. I did not install any software on my friends computers.
But when i do the same thing on my WINDOWS 7 PC, it does not work. I use a Lenovo T420i with factory software installed.
I am a noob in the drivers department. Can anyone please tell me what to do.
Thank you.
Help appreciated.
you say "new user" which implies stock rom. if what they are asking you to do is not working, then i believe you might need to exchange the phone. if you have an ICS rom on it, then i think that you might be stuck with MTP until you switch back to Gingerbread. i might be wrong.
Is Anti-virus disabled on your computer? Seems I've heard that it should be, but can't find where... Also, there may be different drivers for a 64-bit machine (W7?) vs. 32-bit.
Have u tried a different USB port or cable on your PC?

Firstly, it's how amazing you are. You asked a question and only returns to it TWO months after? Obviously, it doesn't bother you that much.
Secondly, however, we're here to help.
About your friend computer, a. maybe he did install the Samsung USB driver already or b. maybe, at that time, you are using MTP mode.
Anyway, forget about his computer, let's get it work on yours.
I personally think the USB driver that you've downloaded from their website WOULD NOT work. I don't know why but I can tell you that it did not work for me. Give me some times to dig into my files or search again on this site for the CORRECT driver. You can also help me and yourself by continue to search for this on this xda site since I got it from here too.
Thirdly, along side with the 2nd above, do try different usb cables, do try on different usb ports
I can enable the USB mode on my note, but when browsing the phone with my computer (Mac & PC) I can not see the contents of the SD card?
EDIT: nevermind, rebooted phone and is working now.
Resolved

First of all I appreciate the help you are giving me.
I am sorry if I offended you by not returning for quite a long time to post.
I have now resolved the problem and would like to share for everyone's benefit over here.
The problem was not with the software, it was with the hardware. I followed all the suggestions given over here and was in the end convinced that there should be a problem with my motherboard. This is surprising because my Flash Drive and USB mouse all work with my laptop without any glitches. But my phone(i777) and any other android phone would not connect to the computer. It would say device not recognized.
My nook e-reader which used to work perfectly started acting strange, it would be detected but i would not be able to transfer files onto the nook. So now I ws convinced that this was a hardware problem.
So I called up lenovo and showed them this problem via some software where i could share my screen with them. They asked me if a USB flash drive was working and I said yes. They reply saying that everything is perfect with your laptop and cut the call. I was offended , these lenovo support guys would not understand that it was a complex problem.
So I went to a local MicroCentre which had support for lenovo servicing and showed this problem to a technician. He was convinced that there was some problem and got my motherboard replaced . And voila there connects my android to my computer in USB mode..!
I would like to thank everyone for their help and taking time out to post here.
My laptop: Lenovo T420i with i3. looks like this was a case with my laptop only. a person i know has a t420(i5) in which my phone connected without any glitches.
Thank you for your help everyone. Hope to be helpful in return in the near future.
Hello guys,
first let me say that while I may be a noob to the forum I am not a noob to the search features and I used it extensively before making this post. However, the problem I have still remains.
My tablet will charge when connected to the PC, but the USB MTP options do not start on the tablet when plugged in. I have tried all of the suggestions, such as, uninstalling the USB drivers on my PC and reinstalling. I have also checked the advanced storage settings on the tablet and made sure that connection as MTP is checked.
I believe this started happening after I rooted my tablet using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474971 But, I'm not sure if that's the issue.
Any ideas???
Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Note: Currently running Stock ICS 4.0.4, Kernel 3.1.10, Build IMM76.UELP
No one has had this issue?
Depending on what I've done last. In settings under developers options. I've left the usb debugging box checked or unchecked and when I switch it from one to the other the tab gets recognized.
Try unchecking usb debugging. You'll need to be disconnected from the PC to uncheck it.
Please don't flame me if I'm off base here. I'm just trying to help with my old man memory.

Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it...but I've already tried that a few times...
not having this fixed is getting frustrating!
Update
ok...So I've tried a couple of other ICS deodexed roms and I still have the same issue...The MTP connectivity will not start on the tablet...
Could this be hardware issue?
Not sure on stock ICS,I hated it and flashed cm10 with pershoot kernel,after that I had the same problem as yu,try Settings>storage>three dots on top right corner of screen>USB computer connection>enable media device....worked for me,I also had the debugger checked off....Or if that isnt it,Bad usb cable??? (EDIT) No go for me ethier,I can only mount the PTP part,not the USB storage
Thanks for your input foxcartman, but I already tried that and it still doesn't work.
more troubleshooting...
ok...so I've tried some more trobleshooting...
I have an HDMI adapter, which works just fine.
I've also tried an SD card adapter and the USB cable adapter, the tablet recognizes both but it does not read any data. ie: the pictures I had on the SD card.
I'm waiting to get another USB cable to see if that's the issue and I'll report back.
Thank you, my new lord & saviour

Our computer was restored and no matter what I do I can't get it to get any response when my Ultra's connected via USB anymore. So frustrated.
Any step by step correction would be greatly appreciated...(I'm not too bright, so feel free to break it down!).
I know it's stupid, but have you tried with another cable or in another USB port? Also, do you have a PC or a Mac?

I think when you connect the ultra you get notification to install software...just install it..and try to turn on and off usb debugging to make sure it responded...
If still no response, why don't you check device manager on you pc to see is the usb connection is detected cause maybe you need to install it manually...

I have GPe so this may not apply, in settings on phone go to storage then hit the three dot menu button in upper right corner and see if a connection mode is selected.
