Searched and did not find this in the Vibrant forum.
My Vibrant suddenly will not mount. I have it set to MASS STORAGE as it always has been, and now it won't bring up the USB notification on the phone and I get a USB Device not recognized error in Windows XP and Windows 7.
The phone is NOT rooted. I flashed JI2 with ODIN. I know it worked after that because I copied back my music movies and games back to the Vibrant from pc's running XP and 7.
Any ideas?
I had that happen to me, too, after I had soft-bricked my phone and then tried to use Odin to recover. I ended up getting the phone back through Clockwork Recovery, but by then it had stopped being recognized in Windows. Try re-installing the drivers (available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929). That fixed the problem for me.
Tried those, don't work for me. Not sure what the heck is going on. Finally get the phone working nicely with the JI2 update and now this...sheesh.
Any other suggestions?? I confirmed that it's not a driver issue, I tried my coworkers vibrant on my PC and his and it mounts fine. When I connect mine, same old error. I even did a factory reset, same results.
I have the exact same problem.. my vibrant soft bricked, so I reflashed stock rom with ODIN and it seemed to be fine.. then after a while it just stopped being recognized on my computer. Tried both on mine and my husband's. It's not the drivers, I've installed and reinstalled. There doesn't seem to be any fix for this??
sorry to bump an old thread but was there ever a solution for this?
Same happend to me today . I nandroid back to a point it was working and did not help . I read somewhere that formatting the drives help some but im not sure I want to lose all my **** .

I don't know if it's the drivers. I think it has something to do with Odin. I softbricked my vibrant twice and had to use Eugene's Froyo that won't brick then back to 2.1 and finally a custom rom. I think somewhere in there something happened...
I havent used odin lately . It was working fine then it just stoped working . I got the drives to show up but it window say "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it" .
Couple of things you can try:
1) Try setting the USB mode to Samsung Kies. Somehow, mass storage never worked for me, but Kies mode works just fine.
2) Try installing ES File Explorer from the market. With that you can get into a home network while on WiFi, thus allowing you to transfer data between your computer and phone using your WiFi network, thereby eliminating the need for cables.
So far I've done a few things and i still get "USB device not recognized" .
Here's what I've done .
1) reinstalled drivers
2) formatted internal and external
3) restored to a previous nandroid

Mine is not recognized by any computer, by odin or kies at all. This happened after I flashed a rom using odin fixing a soft brick. I don't know if it is a hardware problem or not, I have flashed to different roms using rom manager and usb is still not being recognized.

My X10i no longer asks me to mount SD card when connected via USB, this has meant I can no longer flash new basebands for my phone.
I am running TripNRaver MIUI 2.4 on baseband .55
Can anyone advise me as to how I can get my computer to recognise the phone and the phone to recognise the computer, neither is working.
I use Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7 neither of them show the phone when connected. I have tried a different cable and different computers...don't know what else to do?
See posts in this section for more info, xrecovery can manually mount the sd card or you can use a micro sd card adapter and connect your sd card straight to your computer, or possibly the app " multi mount " in the market...
Best regards,
Chris
multimount doesn't work and externally mounting the SD card defies the purpose as I need to flash a new baseband and the phone isn't picked up by the USB at all on any computer.
Thanks anyway but I need to the phone to be mounted
Bump* Anyone? Please help?
Try auto mount from market. If u havent tried it yet
Sent from XDA Premium from my X10a rooted running 2.2.1 CM Rom from Rendeiro2005
tried it thanks, my phone has now got stuck at start up with the Sony Ericsson logo and nothing more....just hangs. Calling Orange to get a new phone as it's insured and this is ridiculous! Never again will I buy a Sony Ericsson, bad software, poor support!

I know this is a stupid question but. Are you using the factory cable or are you using one of those thin retractable ones. I have some of the latter and you can charge the phone with it but you can't transfer data or mount the phone with them.
The factory one, I am now getting a new phone from Orange, unfortunately it'll be another x10i, hopefully Geohot and co. can crack the bootloader and unlock the potential. Still be quiet in call volume and other annoying features.
Thanks for the help though
I'm actually using a cheap one from walmart as my friends dog made quick work of my factory cable. Does it have to be the official sony one or should i try a decent quality cable? I checked the local cell phone stores for thew official one but to no avail.
Bypass?

I've posted a similar thread with this question, but is there any way to bypass this restriction? It's cumbersome having to lug around that factory cable everywhere.
Long story short - was running WB v3.9.0 Gingerbread on my x10, worked flawlessly... until my usb cable stopped working. Went out and bought a new one... Charged phone for 2 hours fine, tried to plug into PC to update to WB v4.0... PC didn't recognize my phone...
Tried downloading new drivers etc.. nothing worked. So i rebooted phone:
Surprise Surprise! SD Card is unmountable!
rebooted into xrecovery and did a factory reset/wipe of everything.
then tried to restore my backed up rom.... SD card unavailable...
Tried to manually mount sdcard, didn't work
Tried formating SD card - no luck there!
Now i'm stuck with NO ROM, no way to plug my phone into my computer to download a ROM, a constant bootloop with no firmware and a crappy replacement nokia...
Any help would be MUCH appreciated! (other than taking it in to repair) I don't know if my warranty will cover this much destruction...
EDIT: called up my service provider (3 australia) and they immediately agreed (to my utter delight and complete surprise) to swap my handset for a brand new HTC Desire HD...
It's a shame i'm now leaving the x10 forums - i really did love the phone, but for an offer like this i don't think many people would refuse the trade.
Thanks everyone for your help and input and see you (or not) on the Desire HD forums
Looks grim... you might be out of luck...

especially the nokia replacement eh?
What version of xrecovery are you using?? Is the latest one which is gingerbread fix? The version that is not fix for gingerbread have that problem with mounting sd card. So try the latest from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571&highlight=xrecovery
Another question: did you try with flash tool? maybe in flash mode your phone will be recognized.
try to put your SD card into a card reader and copy the existing data to your computer.
then format the SD card with Panasonic SD Formatter - I can't include the URL as I'm a new member. Just google it.
After formatting the SD card, put all data you copied to your PC back on the SD card and try again.
Maybe it works, I had a similar problem and could fix it as detailed.
if not...phew...good question...
can you get in flash mode? well if you can then reflash using SEUS
and search for drivers in forums.
did u try the flashtool to flash it bak to 2.1 SE rom ? i faced the same problems like u b4..
if u stil can access into xrecovery , u can try this

It connects in flash mode, but my computer doesn't read the usb connection in order to flash... neither does any other computer :S
actually i still don understand wat u mean by pc cant read the connection... when u start to flash ur phone bak to 2.1 SE generic rom, ur phone should be having a green light led right ? is the flashmode aborted at the half way bak or totally there is no connection at all?
sorry for asking so much, bcoz i faced this problem b4..i would like to help u too...
Hey, I also had same problem with my sd card. I couldn't mount it via xrecovery also The solution is very very simple You just have to buy a sd card reader. It coasts less than 1 euro. You will have to format your sd card, then copy someones zip with ROM and your phone is repaired
I'm stuck in the same boat. When I lug my phone in it says " USB Device not recognized." In device manager on my computer it says, "The USB device attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows doesnt recognize it."
the phone goes into flash mode but the phone is not recognized in flashtool!

So then try seus repair
SEUS wont recognize the phone!!
u might want to try the phone on a differrent cpu /laptop and run flashtool again.
Some cpus just dont want to detect. I have a few cpus i know,i do all the stuff on my win7 laptop cos its the one that does not give me any problem. one thing the laptop is original win7 64bit,the rest of the cpu is pirated xp,maybe thats why.
try it .
tried it on 2 different PCs, same frikkin error!
Have you downloaded the latest USB drivers and latest sues. My phone could not be found till I did that.

My problem is getting the computer to even recognize that the phone is plugged in. It's not even giving me a message saying 'device not recognize', it's totally ignoring it. Therefore i can't use SEUS to reflash the phone as when i plug in my phone in flashmode it doesn't read it.
As for formatting my sd card - that's not the problem... i have 2 sd cards (one brand new that i bought as a spare) and i tried both and neither of them worked - something seems to have happened to the actual hardware of the phone
I'm taking it in to repair tomorrow - this is the second x10 that's done this... maybe it's my computer?

Also - i can't find a link to the drivers on the forums anywhere - but i honestly doubt that's the problem - the phone was working 100% yesterday.
This may be out of the box but have you tried looking at the USBSTOR in your registry?
I had a problem before that my phone is not being detected by my laptop because of that. Just set it to 3 to enable it.
are u sure the cable you bought is a data cable not a charging only cable? Maybe the cable had a defect? also if the cable that went bad is the stock one see if the tip if bent. if the tip is bent try to make it straight.
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
