Hey xda forums, my x10 Mini Pro uses Mini CM7 V21, 2.37 Android version (stock baseband) and ever since modding it every time I plug it into my laptops usb and enable usb storage on the phone the screen hangs and reboots making me unable to access my phones files on my laptop, I can access usb storage via Clockwork recovery although this is quite the pain having to reboot each time I want to put files on my phone, please help me resolve this.
Thanks in advance, any help is greatly appreciated.

i think u didnt close usb debugging which is in application setting once chec for that even if u didnt get
once again format every data in your phone using boot options and re instal cm 7 then u can solve ur problem
But wouldn't closing usb debugging stop me being able to explore my phone via laptop?
I would format and reinstall but i've spent so long setting up and sorting out my phone that it'd take ages to sort out again
Thankyou

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?
Other information that may be needed"
T-Mobile
Samsung Vibrant
Model number: SGH-T959
Firmware: 2.1 upgrade1
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
Baseband Version: T959UVKA2
Build number: ECLAIR.UVKA2
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.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
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.

Re-posting here from general Q&A forum on advice from another member:
Not sure what happened, but as of a few days ago, my Optimus with IHO CM7 will not give USB Mass-Storage/Debugging notices when plugged into my computer. windows goes "dundundun" when the usb is connected. I have tried repairing permissions from Recovery (which broke everything, thank god i backed up before doing this) and am not sure what to try next. Google and forum search are turning up lots of threads about not working immediately after flashing, but my problem is that it has worked and just recently quit.
Any advice short of re-flashing? I'm starting to get sick of reinstalling all my apps and reconfiguring all my preferences...
Thanks
Did you change your kernel lately? The same happened to me after upgrading franco#3 to franco#4.
I'm on stock rom, so it might not be the rom.
No, haven't done anything low-level to the phone since installing CM7.
I should note that it was working for about 30 seconds last night while i was trying to use USB tether. As soon as i hit tether, it quit.

Yes that is known bug, the TURN OFF MASS STORAGE button does not work. Franko told us that it will be soon fixed, after the weekend
So basicly try to flash Francos #4 and use the phone... but after using mass storage you have to restart the phone for SD card to be mounted. And wait for the new Francos release and flash the kernel
yeah, no, that's not the problem i am having. SD card works fine on the phone. When i plug into windows, the phone does not recognize that it has been plugged in and does not give the "turn on usb mass storage" option.
Mine gives the message to turn on the USB Mass Storage. I turn it on, and nothing happens in Windows. Tips?
I'm having the same problem. I have an Optimus V with CM& (IHO Backside by JerryScript and kernel by [email protected]). any fixes?
Hi everybody!
I'm actually running the MiniCM7 from nAa (version 2.2.1 with nAa kernel v.11) and I can't connect my phone to my PC anymore! Any PC displays the ''USB Slot not recognized'' and my phone won't display the ''Connect to your PC'' message in the notification bar. Any help please? Thanks a lot

1st make sure which one is the problem, is it from the phone or from the pc. have u try to put the cable in other usb port on your pc?
Try to re-flash your rom once again. If that is not working too, reboot your phone in cwm. make sure the cable is connected between your phone and the pc, then select mount and usb in cwm. select mount usb. see if this working for you.
<-----If i helped u
Thanks for your answer but I've already tried all those options... I'm deseperate now. :/

Does it charge when the USB cable is plugged in? E.g. does the phone state that it is recharging?
If in Windows, check if the device manager (Start Button > Right-click on Computer > Properties > Device Manager) still detects 'something' on the USB port, if you see a yellow exclamation mark, perhaps reinstall the drivers for your phone. (Flashtool comes with drivers IIRC). In any case, it might be worth a try to run SEUS with the phone disconnected, then it'll offer a 'repair' option, after which you must select your type of phone and connect it, hopefully the tool does not rely on the same driver. This would flash stock rom and stock kernel to your phone.
Should this fail, if your battery and WiFi still work, perhaps you can engineer a solution that downloads a new ROM over WiFi. You could upload it to your Google drive and download through the app or just use the internet browser. Then use a file manager like Root Explorer to move the files to the correct location on the SD-Card. Boot it into CWM and flash the new ROM and see if it helps.
Is the stock SE cable???, have you tried with another cable???
I have the same problem with the SE cable, my phone don't connect correctly with my PC, it disconnects automatically or never work...
Actually I'm using a Samsung cable for use the phone with my PC and works perfectly.
Actually u can try to take out the memory card and used card reader to other ROM beside that u used one. Then flash it. see how it going.

Try to connect your device in Mass storage mode instead of MTP.
Goto Settings - Storage, Press menu button, select USB computer connection - enable Mass storage.
Now connect your phone to pc and feel the difference.

Fantastic mate thanks a lot for that!
GTP7510MAYXAR wont connect to pc, usb not recognized. In odin mode it does the same. Pc doesnt have bluetooth either.
When inserting a usb female connector it does say usb connection, but the usb flash drives did not show. Tablet
also charges healthy.
I want to root this, install clockwork recovery, flash rom to jb 4.2.2, but without the help of that pc i am stuck on 4.04 stock.
Bought this from someone so no previous exp with this device.
Any way to root and install recovery with tablet alone itself?
Thank you for your time:laugh:
Maybe I'm underestimating your experience, but you can try this to see whether USB storage works:
Go to Settings -> Storage -> the 3-lined menu button at the top right corner -> USB PC connection -> Media device (MTP)
I wish this can help. if you have further questions we are here to help at any time.
Good luck!

Ofcourse i tried it hihi:highfive:
But i am starting to think its faulty hardware as no one has any idea about the issue
I actually bought mine in the exact same condition. It would not work on usb no matter what i did also a few other 'bugs' I thought it was a faulty cable but it turned out to be corrupted files on the rom.
Long story short, reatoring the tab to factory via ODIN fixed everything.

Well, you could use mobile ODIN or Rom Manager. However, you need to be able to pull the backup you're going to make before you install that custom rom off of the device. Using USB is a simple way of doing that. It's possible to get it off over WiFi, but you really should fix the USB.
