Hi, I went from Orange UK 1.6 to Nordic 2.1, this worked fine and had no problems, but i tried to the root and change the numbers to get to UK generic 2.1, and now USB does not work correctly, on the phone no option to mount comes up any more,
Also im not sure if it is uk, the numbers are right, the apps that came with it are Supernytt and UEFA.com
Also when I look at the status it says charging (AC), so i have no way getting on SUES, my SD card to copy files on or enter flash mode,Do you know how i can fix this? It is really starting to annoy me. Cant find an answer to this anywhere, I have tried formatting device, re rooting and checking if the numbers are correct and tried on a different computer.
Thanks Tristan.

Hey, whenever I connect my phone to my laptop I don't get any options for what I want to do. I went into the setting to try and connect manually but I can't seem to do it.
My phone charges when I connect it to my laptop but nothing else.
The problems started after I flashed Cronos Droid 1.7.1. I also lost the market app when I flashed Cronos 1.7.1.
I have tried re-flashing the ROM but that didn't work, I have also tried doing a nandroid backup but for some reason all of my backups were gone. I think there might be something wrong with my SD card but I don't know how to check.
Has anyone else had this problem? How can I fix this?
try downloading dual mount SD widget (needs rooted phone).
This might alllow you to mount your phone to your laptop.
If this doesnt work, try connecting your phone to another computer and see what happens.
Hope this helps
Recently I updated my firmware to version 2.1 -update1. Prior to the update I could access my phone's memory and SD card via my USB Cord. Ever since I did the suggested update, when I insert the USB cable the phone makes the sound that my PC used to make when it connects to something through USB but my PC does not see my phone and the option to "Mount through USB" no longer comes up on my phone. Has anyone else ran into this problem or know if there is a setting I need to change so I can browse my phone's memory via USB?

If there is some information I haven't posted but is needed to help me diagnose/repair my phone please let me know.
I'll ask the obvious, but you did mount the drives using the pull down shade right? Here's another possibility: do you have a lot of drive letters on your PC? Maybe it is trying to assign an already used drive letter to it, if you are using Windows that is.
Did you reboot after the flash?? Try leaving the phone on and pull the battery.

I do in fact have a lot of drive letters, I have an SD Card reader so it takes several drive letters by itself, I cant try to disable it so I can see if thats the problem.
The drop down shade however, does not have the option to mount it via USB any longer, that's the reason I was thinking the PC no longer sees the phone any longer. As mentioned above, my phone makes the "Da-Doink" sound that my PC should make when you attach anything USB and it used to make that sound before I did this update. I cant even find anything on how to do a hard reset to the phone so I could go back to factory default status of the phone. If anyone knows how to do the factory reset I'm open to that option.
Thanks in advance
I pulled the battery with the power still on, waited 5 seconds before replacing the battery, powered it back up and still having the same problem
Factory data reset is in the settings. Settings>privacy. Try that and if it doesn't work then I would either odin to stock or flash one of the many great 2.2 roms on here.
I would search the forum on how to do that. Look in the Android development section.

Also, you could try reinstall the usb drivers.

Settings>privacy>Factory data reset didn't fix the problem either. I am currently going to look for the drivers so I can try to re-install those, although I don't remember having to install them to begin with. I think my PC installed it on its own once I chose "Mount USB" from the dope down shade. At this time its not recognizing the PC to give me that option in the drop down shade to begin with. If new drivers doesn't solve the problem, do you guys know the link(s) for the 2.2 roms and do they have a "how to" to go by so I don't brick my new phone?
Thanks in advance
Also, You guys have been so very helpful. I know with a certainty, I would have already bricked this thing without all of your helpful suggestions and for not hazing the newbie like I have seen happen on so many other forums. Thank you very much!
Look through the forum for the drivers. Go to the bible in the android development section. I believe that is where I found the drivers.

I found new drivers on Samsung's Web Site, their Program KIES-mini. After installing both drivers and software (Samsung's Kies mini) the program prompts me to connect my mobile phone and my PC never "sees" that my SGH-T959 is connected. The only thing it says on Kies splash screen is "Please connect your mobile phone" and that is with the phone connected. Is the next step flashing the ROM? Or are there more options in the settings tab or some other menu that I need to try first? I would appreciate help with finding a true "Newbie" tutorial that will take me step by step through the flashing process so I have the smallest chance of bricking this brand new phone.
Thanks in advance, and apologies for the prior drunken post lol
i have been having issues with internal/external not mounting to pc for the last few weeks i dunno why but i just started having these issues. i thought at first it was custom kernels not working well with some custom roms but i just found out my sister is having issues mounting to pc as well and her vibrant has no custom roms or kernels on it at all. The only thing i did to her phone was root it to add mobile pc so im thinking it is something more phone related maybe. i dunno
If you turn on usb debugging does the phone show its plugged in to the computer then?
Settings, applications, usb debugging.
Also, not sure if this is on stock or not but there are usb settings there too that tell the phone how to act when plugged into a computer.

Just an update on my issues, as of right now when I connect my SGH-T959 to my PC via USB, the PC recognizes there is something connected and I can choose "Mount USB" in the drop down shade but I still don't see either the phone's internal memory nor the SD card's memory in windows explorer and when I try to access the memory through the phone (Applications>Settings>SD card and phone storage) it says "Unavailable" instead of telling me used and free space on the phone and SD Card. The only thing I did differently was hook the phone up to a different PC I have in the house and everything worked on the other PC just like normal. so I brought it back and I hooked it up to the PC I am having problems with to pin point exactly if the problem is on the PC side or the phone side. So, as it turns out the problem is on the PC side. I am going to try installing different drivers and see if that fixes the problem. Also, I don't know if its relevant but when I run Kies Mini on the PC I am having problems with, the phone says "Connected" on the screen, but on my PC the splash screen for Kies still says "Please connect your mobile phone". Perhaps this information might help someone that knows more about the phone and its software know what the problem is.
Thanks
Yeah. Its sounds like your pc. However, if you can't see the sd on the phone it would make me think its also the phone. does this only happen when you try to plug it into your pc?? I would maybe try different drivers like you said. Not the kies mini drivers. If you go into the bible there is a link for drivers. 32 bit and 64 bit.

I have a galaxy S2 which I've updated via XDA to 2.3.6, everything was working fine until a few days ago, I plugged the phone into my PC and I was given "One of the USB Devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned et etc" and then "Device Drive not installed correctly" something along those lines.
I've tried it on other machines and the same thing happens, I can't access the storage nor detect it in odin or keis.
Any suggestions or help would be hugely appreciated.
Bump for bumpsake
Try the first part of this thread (The bit about uninstalling/reinstaling Kies/drivers).
Can you let me know what happens? I had exactly the same issue but its in warranty repair, I would like to try to fix it when it comes back, Im assuming it wont be fixed under warranty
No Nandroid backup ???
jje
No backup, I backup files and wipe generally, but the phone can't sync with the PC so I can't reinstall a different stock firmware.
I'd pay good money if someone could fix this or had an idea how to fix it?
First step would be back up data and factory reset .

See my thread here.
If the modem/pda fix doesn't work, try another USB cable - you might be pleasantly surprised.
I know I was...
Excellent advice. And also along this line of thinking, another PC/OS might be worth a shot as well if nothing else works.

You did
Tried the dialpad PDA/Modem hack? From my googling last week, it doesn't seem to have worked for the majority.
Ive now tried a new cable, Ive tried restarting the phone when its plugged into the pc but when its powered off and charging it will not turn on no matter what I do.
I have tried uninstalling kies and restarting then letting windows install a driver but it installs the old driver I believe.
This all started with 2.3.6 and as far as I can tell, I must have installed the wrong version for my region or something and its affected the way it shows up.
i had exactly the same problem from an hour to another i was really pissed off,
i had a nandroid backup but that doesnt helped much.
the thing is i reinstalled my computer clean install without any software only kies, cleaned the usb port of the cellphone and by doing that i got my cellphone recognized at odin sometimes, when i got recognized i pray it doesnt disconnect and flash full XXKI3 with pit file and problem solved, don't know why this happened but i was going crazy haha
a tip that helped me with odin. get to device manager with the phone plugged in and disable unknown device ( the one that cellphone is) then if you reconnect your cellphone twice for me it's work on odin!
the main problem for me was the unknown device you had and that it reconnect constanly, also you have to know the solution for me was xxkp8 with pit that solved my problem then went to xxki3 and is was solve already but i think xxki3 willl be the same for you, i whink the clean install with pit is the solution, maybe someone can correct me, this worked for me (i thought it was the usb port and my guarantee is under USA and i'm from argentina so i was getting crazy, i tried all and this helped (also with this problem couldnt go back to stock firmware :S)
good luck i hope this help you
PS: i tried all sollutions they said to you here and nor one helped! and searched the hole forum and nothing helped me!
PS2: i thing it can be related to something broked on the cellphone software, cause my region last firmware was 2.3.4 i was using simple and clean rom 2.3.6 not for my region without a problem and suddenly this happened now i'm again on S&C cause it fits for my usage and no problem at all!, something messed up the cellphone maybe a buggy flash of siyah kernel by the time it happened to me i was testing siyah 2.6.3 i think and it was really buggy for some people
Hey fdbailes,
That pretty much sounds like what is going on with me, I've tried what you suggested but sometimes when I plug it in, it doesn't even detect a device, the PC makes the noise but nothing happens.
It's really very disapointing, I am a carer for a disabled person so I have no money to buy a new phone and I really really want ICS on my galaxy.
Thanks for the help, Ill keep trying, what version of Odin were you using?
Did you use the stock Samsung Cable?
I cant think of anything else except
Does anyone know if its possible to install a new kernel from the SD somehow?

Mobile Odin, if you're rooted.
I am not, I'm on 2.3.6, please tell me theres a quick and dirty mobile root? lol
I'd settle for hugely complicated and filthy....
Edit: Would is it possible/would it be possible, to update firmware or root over wifi or bluetooth?
I was thinking that you could install the cwm manager apk, but I'm not sure if you have to be rooted to install it... Brain not working well today, anyone else can confirm/deny?
You can but try anyway. Download Superuser and Nitrality from the market, use Nitrality to install the apk, see what happens.
View attachment CWMManager.apk
Blast, CWM wont run unless I have root access.
Also, Nitrality keeps crashing at launch
Did you ever find a solution for this?? I just got a new tmobile sg2 but my laptop is doing the same thing?? I really wanna root it already
Hi.
I wanted to update my x10 mini pro to the latest firmware. It didnt work throught the updater, it said I had the latest but I didnt (i had Baseband 006 - kernel 2.0.A.0.504). So I followed this rendeiro2005 "[FLASHTOOL GUIDE] HOW TO for n00bies" I downloaded the nordic version, but nothing happend, tried to update it but still said there where no updates. So then I downloaded the UK version, then It found the new update, it worked halfway through the update and then the computer died.
Now either nothing happens, I mean it doesnt find the phone via usb, or the computer dies. I tried to uninstall/reinstall PC companion with revo uninstaller, didnt work. Then I tried to start the computer in safe mode and that didnt work either. And I have tried all three different ports. I tried to turn of the phone and connect it and then the computer snap shutdown. (the usb worked fine all day today before I tried to upgrade).
Thanks
Now I¨ve tried to uninstall flashtool and the drivers installer that comes whith it, also uninstalled PC companion. And used the guide "how-to-remove-old-unused-device-drivers-in-windows-7" to deleted some drivers that I suspected have something to do with the phone. At least the computer doesnt die now. But still it doesnt find the phone when I plug it in. I tried the "silent mode trick", but didnt work either.
I dont think theres something wrong with the phone. I did a backup with titanium before but I cant get to it now since the phone isnt rooted anymore after the FW update.
Do you have the Debugging mode enabled? if you have it, try disabling.
Ya tried that to. No success. Even formatted my computer. Nothing. Then I wanted to charge the phone, ordanary rechargeching, that didnt work either. So it must be something with the phone. Have no clue how to get around it. Tried hard reseting it also. Nothing. I guess is something with the new firmware upgrade. Is there any way to go back without using usb?
Is there a way to update/downgrade it wireless?
If the usb is broken, can I send it to SE and have it repaired? (The phone is secondhand without reciept)
You can send it to the SE care centre to get it repaired but you will have to pay because it is out of warranty.
regarding your pc, does usb work other than your phone? im wondering how a connection like that to the phone makes the pc go dead!
There maybe something with the pc or the phone. check with the hardware wires are connected properly and try some other usb device (pendrive etc) and check if the usb works well. then you dont need to doubt about the pc next time.
if pc works then you have to check with your phone and see if that doesnt work.
Other than that i dont know if it will be software (windows xp,7, or other s/w) matter but something on hardware. doubting the phone. so please check it out.
Thanks and good luck on your search!
Do you know how much it can cost to get it fixed?
Ive tried to reinstall windows, didnt work. Tried linux, didnt work. Ive tried other usb devices and they work. After reinstalling the phone doesnt kill the computer anymore atleast. So I guess its the phone. I wont charge when its of either.
Everything worked fine halfway through the update with pc-companion. After that the phone lost connection and never got it back since. What do you think, any chances?
I have the Samsung vibrant model number sgh t959>firmware version 2.1-update1>Baseband version T959UVJI6>Kernal version 2.6.29>Build number>ECLAIR.UVJI6
So now that you know what I have let me explain what it happening and what I have already tried.
One day my external sd card was there the next it wasn't. Its like my external sd card went bad the phone keeps showing a card with a line through it in the info bar. and when you pull it down it tells you to format it..so i did and after that whenever I plug my phone in any PC it is not recognized. On XP it comes up and says Unrecognized and shows unknown device in device manager...in win7 it simply does nothing when usb is plugged in it beeps on phone,no mount option on phone no screen flickers on win7 NOTHING as you can tell I am very aggravated at this.
What I have tried.
1. Factory Reset...No change
2. Changed USB cables...No Change
3. Downloaded drivers from Samsung and other websites...No Change
4. Swapped External Cards...this took away the card with the line through it on the phone, but still unrecognizable on any pc
5. Downloaded the Kies and started to go thru the process until I had to connect phone to pc...scrap that idea wouldn't connect ugh!
6.Flash the phone OK! um nope when you open ODIN and start the process.I bet you can guess yep Unrecognizable
HOW IN THE HELL AM I SUPPOSE TO FIX THIS IF I CAN'T GET MY PC TO RECOGNIZE IT. I called Samsung they said send it to us we will reflash it ok so someone tell me how they are going to when it won't connect better yet someone please tell me with specific directions how I can do it.
I finally somehow got the freaking pc to recognize my phone and was able to flash to odin3 once that was complete the pc began to recognize the phone again so i then upgraded to froyo 2.2 i did lose my full avatar movie during the process
