I am trying to run the Froyo JPM *10/24/2010* Everything works well until I try to mount the device to the computer to transfer files. It gives me the option to connect to Kies but I do not have this installed. With usb debugging on and off I am still not able to mount to the cpu. Is there something that I am missing, it seems so much simpler to connect on 2.1.
Please help,
Thanks,
Nothing???????

Da**, well maybe someone would if you didn't bump your thread every other minute.
Make sure that USB Storage (Or something like that is on - In settings>Applications>USB Settings > Mass Storage)

I appreciate your response Master, I have had this problem on all the 2.2 roms, even yours. to be honest is the only reason that I switched back. I just need to be able to move files from the puter to the device. phone is in mass storage but still has me connect to kies every time i plug in the phone. I have never used kies so I have no idea how it works, but I no longer have the option to just drag and drop from the removable hard drive. Any suggestions as to what my problem is.
Again thanks,

Flash a stable ROM. What you're running is a tweaked and patched port, there's gonna be issues.

I have successfully flashed back to a cooked 2.1 and I have never had any issues with this. I read post of others who dont seem to have an issues as well. Im confused as to what the issue could be. I know its something dumb azz like a setting but at least i would know.
Thanks Tho,
Just a thought
This may be stating the obvious, but hey sometimes we look over the simple things. When experiencing this problem did you got into Settings>Applications>USB settings. and make cure its set to "Ask on connection"? or maybe "Mass Storage" since thats your primary focus?
Just my 2 cents.....
Hi. I ruined my phone when trying to add a new kernel (overclock 1.2).
It stayed on Vibrant/Samsung screen.
I downloaded one click odin.. LIKE AN IDIOT I DIDNT SEE IT WAS FOR CAPTIVE (AT&T) ONLY!!
NOW I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.
PLEASE HELP and link me to wherever i need to download stuff.

It shows AT&T and keeps rebooting.. over and over. I have no idea if they will exchange it due to it being a t-mobile phone.
Maybe Try the jig
Not sure I know enough about the real issue other than you got the wrong rom. But, there is a jig you can make 301k resistor (or combo of a few to equal that number) soldered to a usb connector on # 4 & 5 pins look it up it will unbrick the phone and get you into the phone from there I not sure what you will need to do next but that would get you into the phone. Btw the resistors and usb cord less than 5 bucks good luck
Dude, you are being childish. I usually never flame but don't say you did because you didn't Enough. Slow down and take your time. If you are doing any kind of mods you should learn how to use Odin first, but unfortunately its always after the fact.
Learn how to use Odin, in the development bible I have a video there to show you how. Doesn't get any easier than that.

You are completely right. I was "trigger happy" you may say and I did it by rushing through it and ruined my phone. Luckily I have not yet sold my 3Gs and could use that until I get tmobile to exchange it.
The jig would most likely work for my case but I would need a step by step guide which unfortunately didn't find with images or video.
If I could just kill the AT&T boot logo it'd be perfect but sadly I can't.
I got the phone two days ago..so I am really sure I can get away with an exchange.
If you return the phone and it is booting with the At&t logo they will now you where messing with it and charge you the full amount of the phone which is around $400.
What you have is a soft brick. You can fix it if you bothered reading. Just follow this:

I wish mine was a soft brick but it isn't. That thread was for "phone ! PC" mine is a tmo vibrant that boot loops as AT&T captive since I flashed the wrong stock kernel.
Remove battery, SIM card and the external SD card.
Connect USB cord
Hold down both volume keys and insert the battery.
I love how everyone gives the same reply. The phone WAS FULLY BRICKED.
I took it to T-Mobile and said I did an update and this is what happened and they gave me a brand spanking new one! =D
Thanks for all your help though.

Pathetic, take some responsibility. Thanks for supporting a future of locked phones.
I was recently shopping for a knock-around tablet and came across leaderinternationalinc dot com this little guy at Kmart. Yep, I said Kmart. When I asked the price and they told me $129, I said SOLD!.
So far it's been average in performance and had to do some trickery to get some apps installed (Android/Amazon Market, Pandora, Google Talk, etc.) and am still having some difficulty installing other apps. It seems as if they really want you to use their market and apps, some of which are okay, I guess. I got Netflix installed, but the audio/video isn't in sync and everything is a hue of blue. Might be a Flash Player issue - also which I can't seem to update.
Anyway, the bad news is I can't find a way to get in to bootloader or able to root this tab with oneclick. Hopefully they didn't lock this thing down to hard.
Additionally, since the screen is resistive, using a stylus makes it a bit easier to navigate. Worth the money so far!
I'm praying the brilliant dev brains here at XDA will purchase this one and create a simple root/rom that allows me to take this thing to the next level!
Anybody out there?

Looks like it's the same, but in a new place.
We're heeerreeee basit....
Were you able to get the standard Market installed on it? I was able to get it along with Pandora, Google Voice and a couple others (Netflix not working well) with a little trickery. Still can't get Google Talk and a few other things like an updated Flash.
If I can get a plain vanilla Froyo on this I would give this cheap little tab a solid B.
#bonus
I know this doesn't have anything to do with my original [Q], but I thought I would share anyway...
I contacted Impression about another AC adapter... 1 isn't enough...
After I registered my device, they shipped me another for free!
Any devs out there for this one?
just return it and get another one, a tablet thats $129 is probably not going to be great at that price.. other than the time hp touchpads were $99
Yeah, it's not the snappiest device I've owned, but makes a great desk-side companion. Mainly use it for Pandora, Weather, IM and a few other things...I'm generally still happy with it although I know it won't replace my primary device. Having the (free) second AC adapter is nice so I don't have to carry that back and forth. 2 hours of streaming music kills the battery dead.
Stay plugged in with this one.
Still hoping, praying that a dev picks one of these up...

You can install the Android Market without any funny business. Just download the apk and install. Still think this device can perform much better if it just had vanilla froyo... Hope someone cracks it.

I used super1click, the newest version. It didnt work the first few times, i ended up doing shell root first, then was able to achieve root as normal. It did seem to take a while.
Edit: I just rooted a 2nd i7.... had the same trouble with it just hanging during root. When it hangs, quickly unplug the usb the replug it in. Once it detects usb debugging again it will root properly and pass the verification at the end.
Hope that helps

Just attempted rooting it myself with Superoneclick.
Did shell root first and that went fine. Attempted normal root right after and it hung right at the end when it said the device was rooted and would restart. Unplugged and replugged the usb quickly and then it rebooted.
My i7 was definitely not rooted when it rebooted. Not sure what went wrong. Attempted it numerous times with the same result sadly. Did it hang right at the end for you or at a different point during the root?

When it hangs at the end it never worked for me. Id suggest trying the different methods to root instead of auto....i just pretty much tried everything until i goot root to stick...if it hangs during root steps thats when to unplug and replug.
Sorry i dont have a more speific solution, but i did get two rooted like this
Oh and obviously double check usb debugging is enabled

Alright. Thanks for replying. Assumed if it was hanging at the end then it wouldn't work. Just wanted a confirmation on it.
I have spent a better part of today trying to find out what Im doing wrong. Im going to make a long story short as possible. When I plug my phone in I dont see my sd card or any storage. I only see 2 files with windows explorer. Do I need to uncheck debugging? I know this has to be simple but I cant find an answer anywhere. After about 8 hours of searching this forum, yahoo and some other places. I was burned out. Going to get off here again. Stressed out doesnt help my situation. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide. Ok flame away!!!
we need just a little more info.
What ROM are you on. Have you installed kies on your computer.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
If you are running the ICS TouchWiz build you need to turn on USB storage. Settings > more (under wireless and networks) > USB utilities.
That works for me. My home computer will see my phone as an MTP device, after it installed drivers, and as USB storage using the above. My work computer will only work if I enable USB storage.
If you aren't using the ICS TW ROMs then we need more information.
And one final thing: search before posting n00b

Thanks for answering me. Still searching and reading. Im not on any rom. Just stock. Been trying to flash a couple. I have them loaded and ready to go. Just cant figure out how to get them on my sd card. Its a little hard when I cant even find it. LOL!! BTW I hate windows 7. Anyway Im off to do some more reading and get even more stressed out! Here I thought to myself I have this all figured out! Yea right!! Just a little set back. I was on 2.3.6. Flashed back with Entropy's one click to get me back to 2.3.4. Still having trouble with wifi. But I think its where Im at. Ill wait till Im home tomorrow and try it all over again.Yes Im a noob!! But hey we all started that way!! Ill be banging my head on the wall if I dont get this figured out!! Its really bugging me.
Yes I have Kies installed.
Could you download them directly on the phone? That's what I do, so I don't have to mess with cables. I use dolphin browser when the stock browser doesn't want to download the files.

So you said you successfully flashed back to 2.3.4, just cannot get any storage displayed when plugging into your PC running W7?
a. before plug in, can you check your phone under Settings/Storage to see if SD_card or USB storage displayed.
b. Did you install the USB driver into your W7 PC?
c. Did you check to see any USB notification on the status bar of your phone when plugging it into the PC?
Have you tried a different cable? Are you plugging into a hub or straight into the computer? I couldn't get mine to connect through a hub. Needed to be straight to the computer.

yes i installed the gapps and figured out way more things thanks to zaheedahmed who was a huge help in explaining things to me,
that CASUAL does not work. Oh wait, let me guess, I don't have the right (1 of how many different ones suggested) usb driver, right? And I'm not in ADB, right? And I haven't tried different cables, and ports, and CADI on its own, and zadig, and usbdeview, and pulling the battery when it stalls in download mode (when CASUAL was still recognizing the phone, now neither CASUAL nor ODIN connect to it)? Sorry for the sarcasm, but I'm incredibly frustrated here. How does "one click" turn into a week of trying and trying and trying, and not only not making progress, but seemingly moving backwards where now I can't even get programs to connect? Is there something less messy, contradictory (seriously, the dev thread says "stock anything" but when trying the battery pull and reboot it goes off on me: OMFG WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? I WARNED YOU! YOU NEED TO ROOT FIRST.) way to unlock? Or a more concise thread of troubleshooting CASUAL (And please, I don't need a link to the same dev thread I just referenced, again.)?
Well I guess the rest of us that followed Adam's thread and were easily unlocked and loading ROMs daily are magicians or something?
Try a different USB port and a different computer. I could not get it to work at all on one PC in Windows or Linux, but it worked first try as soon as I tried it on my laptop.

And I haven't tried different cables, and ports, and CADI on its own, and zadig, and usbdeview, and pulling the battery when it stalls in download mode (when CASUAL was still recognizing the phone, now neither CASUAL nor ODIN connect to it)? Sorry for the sarcasm, but I'm incredibly frustrated here. How does "one click" turn into a week of trying and trying and trying, and not only not making progress, but seemingly moving backwards where now I can't even get programs to connect? Is there something less messy, contradictory (seriously, the dev thread says "stock anything" but when trying the battery pull and reboot it goes off on me: OMFG WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? I WARNED YOU! YOU NEED TO ROOT FIRST.) way to unlock? Or a more concise thread of troubleshooting CASUAL (And please, I don't need a link to the same dev thread I just referenced, again.)?

I feel your pain but hang in there and keep trying. It took me 3 days and several hours to find the right combination that finally worked. If you follow the dev thread for a few days, you'll see that most everyone having problems eventually gets it to work through a combination of trial and error and support from the devs.
If you haven't already, try the driver suggestions in the last several pages of the dev thread. This seems to be helping quite a few others. Another thing to try is running the Casual jar file from an admin command prompt instead of double clicking the file. This worked for me.
