Copying problem from/to storage (USB) - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an Samsung GS2 and i'm happy, but i have a problem with Win 7 Ultimate X64:
After 2.3.4 update, when i try to copy something from/to Phone/Card, My computer stop responding and it shows the error: "A device attached to the system is not functioning " and the mobile is showing on display "synchronizing". I have reinstalled the Windows but the problem persists.
I tested on a Windows XP x86 and it works grate.
What can i do to fix this problem?

anyone know this problem?

Looks like a drivers problem to me, if you didnt already, try to reinstall latest version of Kies (but dont forget to kill the kies process before using Odin if you plan to use it)

I tryed to reinstall Kies and drivers but with no succes.

I have this problem too and i resolve it by turn the plane mode on, don't know why but now all is ok ..

Try this.
1. Go to settings --> wireless and network --> usb --> usb mass storage
2. connect the usb cable
3. turn the usb mass storage (the android icon changes to orange now)
Go to my computer and you will now see phone and sd card storage as seperate....you should be able to copy fine now.

Hello!
I know this topic is old but I had the same problem with my Galaxy Note this morning and the solution was to disable USB Debugging.
Just to at least mark this topic as solved.
Cheers,

I had this problem with my Galaxy Note 4. I was using the original USB cable which was supplied with the phone. The error was showing up at random stages of the file transfer process - sometimes near completion, sometimes after a second or so; which indicates to me that it may be a hardware problem. So, I then tried using a different USB cable (cheapie from eBay), and it works fine! No brainer fix :silly::silly:

Same issue here - bad cable again in my case. Got a decent quality one and it works fine.

This worked on my Note 4 - Simple Settings -> Developer opions -> Check USB Debugging

If you are on Windows: Samsung drivers installed?
Did you try different USB port?
Is USB debugging enabled? Settings->Applications->Development
What are the USB settings on the phone? Settings->Applications->USB settings
Mass storage mode doesn't work for me on Win 7 x64 I just use the media player setting and it works the same way as mass storage should.
It works for me just fine. One time it did do the flickering USB icon thing, but that turned out to be because the cable that I was using was going bad. It sounds like this may be what's going on in your case?
I clipped this from a post I made a few months ago...

For those of you having a problem with Windows 7 recognizing your Vibrant ... here is how I fixed it on my system.
*Note: You do not need to load any special USB drivers for your phone to be recognized in Mass Storage mode in Windows 7.
*Warning: You follow these instructions at your own risk ... no screaming at me if you try it and something gets screwed up!
1) Navigate your way into the Device Manager / Universal Serial Bus Controller
2) Uninstall the device(s) "USB Root Hub" (My system had 2 listed)
3) You will lose mouse and keyboard control (because you just removed the USB Hubs)
4) Reset your PC and allow Windows to boot normally.
5) Go back to the device manager and wait for all of the "!" marks to go away as windows re-installs the USB Hubs and reinitializes all of your devices.
6) Make sure your Vibrant is in mass storage mode and has USB debugging OFF
7) Plug in your Vibrant via the USB cable and be amazed as windows recognizes your device and assigns the drive letters. After you select the mount option on your phone you will have normal access via windows explorer.
Hope this helps some of you out there !!!

So frustrating.....whats wrong with this?

USB issue Kies starts, but not recognised

When I plug USB cable in my win64 device manager recognises the usb connection as "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device"
Kies automatically starts.
but Kies does not does not connect to my phone
nor does my phone show in "My computer"
If I enter storage mode then I can access SD card and external card.
of significant note is I recently did a full format and installed Check's Dark Knight Edition Rom (but I can't post there due to newb restrictions).
I have tried to reinstall drivers using Kies but that hasn't worked.
I have deleted the drivers from PC using device manager and allowed windows to reinstall them.
any help is greatly appreciated, thank you
I get no error messages
I've tried connecting with debug mode... it installs drivers but still computer doesn't recognise phone.
Still phone appears connected in device manager.
You have to close all open programs on your phone and return it to the home page. Until you do this your phone will not connect. You should then see a Usb Plug on your screen. It should then say Initializing and then connected. Then you should see it in My Computer and get into you phones files though there too.
Hope this Helps......
Thanks.. but I know about that and it isn't that.. also.. since installing LiteningRom this has not been necessary... but good call thank you.
I've tried to connect on a different computer and was unable to connect to that.. so possibly an issue with the phone?
Could it be that you have activated the "USB debugging" mode under settings->applications->development?
So I install Cognition S2 ROM and it works fine!

Nope not that.. I had turned debugging USB on and off a number of times in the hope it would do something.. but nope
Just to test this out...
I reinstall Check's Dark Knight Edition Rom and once again I cannot connect to my computer...
I will remove this rom, factory rest and install something else
I have noticed.. 2 extra drives appear in "my Computer"... I can't access them but they appear when I plug in my phone.. and disappear when I remove it
so clearly my external and internal cards phone SD cards are not being recognised correctly when using Check's Dark Knight Edition Rom...
any ideas?
and yes I have removed, deleted drivers numerous times... installed via Kies installed via auto Windows
ok... installed Cognition S2 ROM and connected to computer... it the phone says MPT - initialisation then MPT- connection it didn't say this with dark rom!
For anyone else having this issue, it seems to be related to MTP. MTP is present in cognition, and removed from Check's rom, you can easily add this back in to make it work.
I've done a search for this with the intention of reinstalling it..
but I cannot find anything... maybe my search is off or I'm not using the correct keyword.. any help here would be great.
Also.. as this seems to be removed from a number of ROMs I have a further question.. what is the alternative?
Thanks

Thanks.. but still what do ppl use to back up their phones? if they haven't got this installed?
Dizzee, I had the exact same problem as yours and solved it my removing "USB debugging" in settings, as Alchemius mentioned previously. Can you double check you've done this.

[Q] Phone not detected, but charging and USB tethering working

This is probably a common problem, I saw lots of threads but I can't find any solutions to it, and I really want to make my phone faster i.e. root
Phone: LG P990 (Optimus 2x)
Problem:
Phone not detected by the computer when connected through USB.
What I tried:
1. Factory reset (only data)
2. Cleaning the port with a toothbrush
3. Uninstalling and re-installing drivers
4. Replacing the cable I was using with the OEM one (I lost my original together with my charger)
5. Plugging into different computers and USB ports
6. Checking and unchecking the option of connecting through mass storage only
7. Enabling and disabling USB debugging
What's so incredible about my problem is that the phone actually knows that it is connected to the computer - the USB tethering option is available and it says that USB's connected - but the USB connection icon on the status bar for mass storage doesn't show up. I'm not sure if it's a software or hardware problem. So any ideas how to fix this?
Bump.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi not being recognized by USB [GT-P7510]

Hey guys,
I have my Galaxy Tab 10.1 a few years now and it's still working great! I've rooted it many times and installed many custom roms on it. So I am very familiar with Odin, clockworkmod etc. Today, I decided to root my tab again to install a custom rom. So first things first, I installed the usb driver for my tab (GT-P7510), it's the Samsung Mobile Usb Driver for mobile phones version 1.4.8.0. After installing the driver I plugged in my tablet but nothing happend, no sound from my PC no new hardware found box, nothing. So I checked the device manager and I don't see anything there, no android adb, no GT-P7510, etc. The computer just doesn't recognize the tab. I tried reinstalling the drivers, rebooting the tablet and the PC, I did a factory reset, wiped cache, etc. Nothing worked. The only 2 things I notice is the charger/usb cable connected sound on my tablet and there's a weird red cross through the battery icon on the lower right side of my screen. Does anyone know if this is a known problem or how to solve it?
Model: GT-P7510 [P4 WIFI]
Android Version: Stock 4.0.4
[EDIT]: I managed to root the tab without the PC using the Iroot app and then I flashed TWRP and with TWRP I flashed Android 5.0. So now I am on Android 5.0!
Thanks!
Is USB debugging on or off, under Settings / Developer options? Try toggling that first.

Thanks for your reply!!
I forgot to mention that I also tried toggling that on and off several times but that also didn't work. However, I managed to root the tab without PC and I installed android 5.0 and its working great! What I also noticed is that there no longer is a red cross through the battery icon when charging but still no USB connection :/

Good thing you could flash I guess you first copied the files you needed to an external SD / USB stick, and then copied those files to the internal storage on the tablet itself?
You could try now under Android 5 is to toggle the same option again in the settings.
Another option is in the Recovery: under mounts and storage, you could try to mount the sdcard / partitions, while connected to your PC. Although you should at least have some confirmation of a connection with the PC, under Windows Device Manager. But it never hurts to try.

USB drive connection between Android and Windows no longer working in Oreo (v8)

Hi everyone,
I often transfer files between my Samsung S7 Edge and my Windows PC through USB cable. However, after (making the mistake of) letting it upgrade to Oreo (v8.0), this is no longer possible: connecting the phone via USB to my laptop only shows charging information in the swipe-down top menu, and I no longer get the prompt asking whether I want to allow access to the phone's contents. Consequently, the phone's internal&SD memory no longer shows up under Windows Explorer.
I've been searching for a fix/workaround for hours (thanks Google for this quality time!). Some of the things I've tried that didn't work:
- enable/disable USB debugging mode under developer options
- change "USB configuration" (under Developer Options) to "MTP" and to all other options there
- use a different USB cable and USB port on the laptop
- search for apps on the Play Store that can help with this (didn't find any that actually do the job)
Connecting Android phones to Windows laptops to access their internal memory through USB cable has (bemusingly!) been a problem with this ****ty OS as long as I can remember, so it doesn't surprise me that users are having to spend even more time now to get it to work again.
Any suggestions much appreciated!

Thanks - I tried that, but I still don't see the phone's memory as a USB drive, nor any permission prompt on the phone once I connect it.

Try to reinstall drivers ,uninstall all previously installed use USBDEVIEW tool .
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
Before I do that, I should note that, when I tried on a different Win 10 PC, I get the USB drive back no problem, so the problem is Windows/PC-related, it seems?!
Turns out that, when using another USB cable, the phone is once again seen as a USB drive. I didn't think the cable could make a difference! Hope it helps others
