After modifying and diddling around with /etc/usb_modeswitch/1bbb_f000 I lost the ability to mount my external hdd through the 3g slot. I have completely reformatted and reinstalled 3.2.79 through the official aos file but no cigar. Some people say usb has never worked for them but mine has worked since I started on 3.2.69. I cannot downgrade with this file however. What should I do? This is making me go crazy.
That shouldn't have affectted the mounting as that switches the archos datakey to modem mode. However if that Is the case I think the lowest that you can goto is 3.2.79.
With regards to mounting. I always make sure I have the 3G key enabled in settings and a reboot sometimes helps.
Hope that helps

Shooooooot well there's two possible solutions. Either I get that cable and it might let me mount through the microusb or archos might fix it in the ics update (unlikely). I've tried switching 3g on and off and rebooting but its no good. If one of the devs on here can pin down what is limiting the 3g stick maybe they could find a tweak and add it in a new rom.
That said if you've always had mounting ability then even with a newer rom it should re-enable it always has for me and I re-set my device quiet often.
You mentioned you had screwed the permissions on your 1bbb_f000 file. The ones I have is --rw-r--r-- (which is chmod 0644) with a owner and group of root.
Post a logcat and dmesg output after you've inserted your Usb Drive and then someone might be able to help.
I'd also recommend this app from the market for checking the state of your usb devices. It's nothing to do with me and "props" to the developers as It's coming in very useful.
Okay I was able to get a couple screenshots from the usb program, and my permissions from rom toolbox. I got adb back on my computer since I figure it will come in handy anyway and I was able to dump logcat and dmesg logs.
Just checked a USB stick on 3.2.80 - it does work as it did. Thus the s/w version is not the problem. If you completely reformatted the device, your settings should not survive, too. Look for other vulnerable point in the chain, the problem often appears not where you look for it but in the most unexpected place.
-- Try a flash stick - does it work? If yes, then usb-storage driver is ok.
-- Is your HDD self-powered or powered only from the same USB port? Try using a more powerful source, if possible. Or haven't you noticed any unstabilities using it with other hosts, e.g. low-power netbooks? Try as many ports and hosts as you can. HDD is a mechanical unit, it is subject to wearout, and with time it consumes more power to spin on its old bearings. Finally it stops working even from a PC, though it is still possible to take out the HDD itself and connect in to SATA/IDE and directly to PC power source - but it will consume more than 500mA standard for USB ports. That is what could happen right in these days when you were using it - it reached some critical degree and does not start any longer.
You may also try different cables - sometimes their grade (connectors, electrical resistance) may be critical in this boundary situation.
Nevertheless (to public Knowledge Base : previous s/w versions are still available at Archos website. There are no direct links but you can easily figure them out - just put the correct number into the last catalog name. E.g.:
Code:
http://update.archos.com/9/gen9/gen9_3.2.69/firmware_archos_it4.aos

Flashsticks unfortunately also do not work. I'm using a small hdd that is powered through USB but has worked flawlessly before. When I try to use the old fw file I thing I get error -122 saying this fw is too old for your hw revision. The reason I figured 3.2.69 would be a good fw to downgrade to is because they first introduced USB mounting and cinema codes. I figured throughout the upgrades the USB mounting at least stayed intact until now. This whole thing might have been started through the usb_modeswitch command.
I can mount jumpdrives now but no HDD. I could do this before, what did they change? It seems like there is not as much voltage to the back USB as before. Any root app that could adjust things accordingly?

Since Monday morning, I have not been able to sync my phone (was dcd v3.0.4 when it stopped working). I have done much research and have tried many different things in an unsuccessful attempt to solve the issue.
When I plug it in, it begins charging but nothing else happens. No windows new device sound or system tray notification, no driver prompt, no windows activesync activity, nor any activesync activity on the phone (that little arrow icon on the top bar).
I have gotten this problem extremely intermittently previously but have always been able to resolve it with either a soft reset and/or a computer reboot. When that solution attempt failed, I tried moving the usb cable to a different port. I tried four or so different ports with no different results. I tried a different cable. I tried disabling advanced networking, deleting my partnerships (lost my contacts and have not yet been able to re-sync them :/), uninstalling activesync, and cleaning all the activesync files and drivers. I even launched device manager with hidden/non-present devices shown to remove the windows mobile devices (which were oddly not present, although this was after my first activesync uninstall/clean).
After not being able to get anything to respond, I thought it may be something not working properly on my workstation, so I tried similar processes of troubleshooting on my laptop with the same results.
At this point, I figured I had isolated the problem to the device, hopefully being just a software issue and not a hardware issue. At the time, I was still running rom dcd v3.0.4 with radio 3.35. I decided to flash to the newest versions in a hopeful attempt to restore my device's functionality. After flashing radio 3.39 and cooking and flashing a dcd v3.1.2 rom, I tried again with no different results.
Finally, I decided to connect it in bootloader mode, just to see what would happen (what is normal behavior for this anyway? does it get detected and drivers installed correctly?). It was detected as a usb device by my workstation but could not install drivers for it.
Needless to say, I have become rather frustrated with my device this week. I am not sure what the problem is exactly, nor what I could possibly do to fix it. I am on the verge of flashing a stock rom and *gasp* going to the Sprint store for support. Perhaps I finally dropped or shocked it one too many times this past weekend, and it does indeed have a physical issue...
Does anyone have any suggestions/ideas/thoughts? I would be very greatful for any input.
Thank you!

I have been following that thread in hopes that something may prove helpful and have tried everything suggested, including attempting to clean the port (what would be best for this? anything more than just blowing into it?), trying the two Y adapters I have (emu -> emu / mini-usb & emu -> mini-usb / 2.5" stereo), running that batch script and working with the device manager (those devices were not present), and disabling advanced network functionality, all with no results.

If you've sync'd in the past then when you display hidden devices those devices should be present (at least faded). It'll be very strange if you don't see them. If not then uninstall the Mobile Device 6.1 upgrade, restart the PC and reinstall it. Then open up the device manager and watch what changes when you plug in your WinMo device.

I also thought it quite strange that I did not see those devices at all at when I displayed hidden/non-present devices in the device manager. I definitely have sync'd on this machine many times, I typically leave it plugged in throughout the day here at work. My machine is part of a corporate domain but I do not see how anything pertaining to that would affect my devices. On my laptop (used to sync here), the devices were present in the device manager, but even after uninstalling them the phone would not be detected when I plugged it in.
When you say uninstall the mobile device 6.1 upgrade, are you talking about the vista mobile device manager? I am on XP with activesync 4.5.
Also, nothing happens when I plug the device in, not even the standard device connected notification sound. Nothing changes in the device manager, nothing is found when I rescan hardware, I even uninstalled all the usb root hub devices and rescanned for them, hoping a complete usb subsystem driver reinstall may help detect something.
I even downloaded and ran two usb tools, one free usbdeview (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html) which displayed and monitored all usb devices (present and non-) and drivers and a trial of a usbtrace (http://www.sysnucleus.com/) which was a usb protocol traffic capture and analysis program. I experimented with (un)plugging the phone multiple times in multiple ports with two different cables while running these programs, attempting to find something useful. Absolutely nothing at all happened in either program, which makes me believe it is something either on the phone software or hardware.
I have a feeling I may require a device swap :/

Well I suppose I am not sure it was brand new, but it had the screen protector and the plastic stickers still on it (next to keyboard when you slide it out). I also received an additional 512MB SD card that comes with it.
Did you flash back to a sprint rom via sd card?

Yes, I extracted the two NBH files from the latest (3.35 I believe) stock Sprint rom installer and first flashed the smaller image (bootloader/radio I think it was), and then the larger image (os) before I took it in.
The rep I dealt with at first was somewhat of a technical idiot and only served to confuse/delay matters but after I returned, I spoke to someone else and gave them permission to hard-reset, as well as mentioned I had done this multiple times as well as tried multiple computers and multiple cables, just to help them narrow down the possible source of the problem (as well as to block possible common excuses). After waiting around for half an hour or so in-store, a technician brought me a new phone and told me the port was physically bad.
All-in-all, I was quite pleased with Sprint's service and my free swap for an issueless and scratchless new device. I was afraid it was not going to be quite so easy, requiring more time and/or an insurance replacement fee. Not to mention the free 512mb sd card.
I had a similar problem, I was un able to connect to active sync but was able to charge. Everytime I would try to connect to active sync I got the "device is not recognized" error. Then someone on here suggested perhaps my USB port was messed up, sure enough I looked in the port and noticed one of the gold pins was flipped up slightly higher then the rest. My friend took a needle and adjusted the pin and it was good as new. Somehow I had lifted one of the pins.
Anyways IMHO it's good to look in there and just check if your having problems connecting, it saved me a trip to a technician and having to wait or go through reprogramming everything.
I just got a new T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant. Running 2.1 Froyo Update 1, on JI6 modem and 2.6.29 kernel. Stock unrooted so far.
When I plug in my Samsung Vibrant into my Windows 7 64bit Machine, it is not being detected by Windows Explorer. I installed Samsung's Kies Mini and to STILL not being detected by the program. I installed 64 bit drivers and nothing. I've tried a combination of setting under USB settings Samsung Kies, Media Player, Mass Storage and Ask on Connection. None of them work.
I enabled/disabled USB Debugging in combination with some of the usb settings. I've disconnected and tried every single USB port on the back of my motherboard. I've reset the phone, and my computer. NOTHING WORKS. If someone can point me in the right direction if would be GREATLY appreciated. This is my first android phone and so far its not going so well....Will give THANKS to anyone who helps. What my main goal is to wipe the phone clean, and install a 2.2 rom on it or even Vanilla 2.2 With Root. Still new to this stuff....
Have you gone to the samsung website and downloaded/installed the drivers for your phone?
Here's a link for within XDA that has both the 64 and the 32 bit drivers

I think my issue is my LG Data cable. I've read around and apparently I need a Samsung Certifed USB Data Cable?
Edit: And yes I got the EXACT same drivers off the Softpedia page. Gonna reinstall for a another try but I'm 100% sure its my gimpy USB Cable.
Ah. I suppose that's possible as well. It's the same with car charger sometimes too. If it isn't setup with the exact same pins that your phone has then it won't work. So, even if the connectors look identical, apparently they're not.

You need a samsung certified data cable.
The pins look the same, but they aren't. Once you get the cable (I'm sure it's not more then $5), it should work. If you have T-Mobile around you (you have canada, so go to the provider that offers the equivalent of the Vibrant), ask to buy a "SAMSUNG CERTIFIED DATA CABLE". Nothing else.
Ordered one off of ebay should be arriving shortly. Hopefully this fixes my problems.
Same Problem
I'm having almost the same issue. However, rather than not being recognized by Windows, it tells me that there's a problem with the driver. And that's after I reinstalled Samsung's driver.
I'm not sure if the problem is with the phone, or with the cable, or with my computer. I'll try again at work on Monday.
In the meantime, assuming the problem is with the phone, how do I hard reset the phone, wiping the Samsung update, etc.? If I do so, will the Android Store know that I purchased all my apps, or will I have to buy them again?
And what backup program do you recommend for copying all my user data to my micro-SC card so that I don't loose everything.
Used my old BB cable and voila. Thanks for the help guys it was the USB cable indeed.
My I777 has been acting up lately, and now I'm out of options and wondering what my next move should be.
For several days when I'd connect the phone to the PC via USB, it started saying "this device can perform faster when on a USB 2.0 port..." - which, my ports ARE 2.0.. transfers were taking forever. Now, anytime I plug it in it simply says "USB Device not recognized" - I've tried the OEM cable, the plethora of other cables, 4 different PC's... *ALL* have the same result.
My concern is with a custom ROM on it and no way to get any PC to recognize the phone to get it back to root - how should I proceed from here for warranty purposes? I've only had it since March - just wondering what's gonna happen at this point - or is this even fixable? All the threads I've seen say it needs replaced... but with no way to unroot, etc., I'm just unsure how this is gonna go.
Thanks for any advice.

You can always use Mobile Odin to flash back to stock since your on a custom ROM.

Absolutely NOT.
This is a situation that's been coming over a period of time, starting with the inability to see it as a USB 2.0 device when initially plugged in, and now has deteriorated to the point that it can't even be seen.

Yeah, I sure did - nothing. Even in recovery, it won't "mount" usb there either.
Samsung's have a crappy USB port. It fails sometimes. You have a hard time charging at all?
But like I stated above, even without a computer connection you can get Mobile Odin and flash back to stock, as long as your rooted.
I'm having this same issue. I just got the phone earlier this week and I am unable to get bit connected to my pc to root or Odin. I have installed and uninstalled Kies multiple times on two different computers, tries different ports, and checked if the cable worked by using another phone (PC recognized without an issue). I get the USB not recognized or the 2.0 USB message. If I enable debugging, I can connect regularly and transfer files through windows explorer. But if I use USB debugging off, then nothing will work. I've tried using odin and it will just get stuck at setup connection or cache.img and then I'd have to pull the device. I've tries updating through Kies when it shows the USB 2.0 message but once the S2 hits download mode then the computer stops recognizing it. I have also tried installing the i777 drovers on the Samsung website and its still a no go. Does anyone know how to fix this? Its not rooted so mobile Odin won't help me now.

It is the OEM cable that came with my Samsung Infuse. It worked with the T989 3 days ago and it's not working with my i777. Its strange because I tried it with my infuse again and I am able to Odin just fine. Could it really be an issue with my USB or will it be a PCB issue? I would rather or not disassemble my phone if it is a PCB issue. Should be able to do a warranty exchange though.

The end result being changing the PCB which one, isn't that hard, and two, is very cheap the only problem is waiting for the board to come in the mail.

Its strange because when I enable USB debugging, I can get a "USB connection" on the phone and data transfers fine. But when I turn it off, I get a "MTP connection" and sometimes it'll connect (5% of the time) and allow me to transfer data. But when lies tries to update when that mtp connection is active, it'll hang when the phone goes into download mode. Did you have this same issue?

I f you're able to transfer files via mass storage with USB debugging enabled then you can (most likely) rule out hardware failure on your phone.
If anything this sounds like a driver issue on the cpmputer. Are you running windows? If so remove and reinstall the drivers for your phone.
Still think its hardware.
I can connect 1/100 of the times I'm plugged into a computer. Its not a driver issue because my girlfriend has an i777 as well and no problems for her connecting at all.
Its not ROM related because I have this problem with all ROMs.

Does that apply to ums as well? From his description he can connect in ums just fine. Its only mtp that's giving him problems. In his case, with the problem only being in one connection mode, it leads me to think drivers. In your case, tested against another s2 I'd say hardware.
Just tried using a Motorola cable and a third PC and my chances of connection increased to about 15-20%. Kies and Odin failed on me a few times just like I had described before. But eventually Odin was able to flash okay. Finally on ICS on my i777! I think I'll stay on stock since I'd rather not go USB and PC hunting to flash stock if anything goes wrong.

My P7500 originally came with Honeycomb and worked fine. I didn't know about the other ROMs at the time when the popup announced the ICS 4.0.4 was available. I received and installed the official ICS 4.0.4 via OTA. Stupid mistake!
Since then, I have not been able to access my Connection kit (for usb, memory stick and external SDcard), Connect via USB cable to my laptop (or any other pc), or connect to my tablet with Odin, Kies, or any other tools that work via USB. My other tablet and phone GT-I9001 and GT-P7300 both rooted and running perfectly, work fine with all the same features I am missing on my P7500, as well as connecting to my PC, ...
Currently, I get files back and forth using dropbox and email without any problem, which allows me to use the tablet as an everyday device. The problem is: I want to be able to root my device so that I can use titanium backups, ... and have the freedom that others here have in rooting their devices.
My questions:
- Is there any way to root my device without having access to Odin or Kies?
- Does anyone know how to enable the missing "features" that came after the ICS update?
This really sucks guys. I know its not n XDA problem, but I have no place else to turn.
All I want to do is root my device :\

This was a crazy one to solve but I finally figured it out. It's relevant to the Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 GT-P7500 and Galaxy tab 8.9 P7300 running ICS 4.0.4. I could not produce this problem in Honeycomb!
There are few things that you can try before this fix. If you want to skip to the end and just try to fix, go ahead as it won't break the bank.
So as in other threads here are a few things to try first (in no particular order).
1. Buy and replace the samsung cable with an original oem samsung usb cable. Just because your cable charges your tab, it doesn't mean all the pins are making contact all the way through for a data connection!
2. Using canned air, carefully blow out the port on the bottom of your galaxy tab to make sure there is no dust or trash preventing connections to the pins.
3. Make certain you have the correct Samsung usb driver's installed in your machine. To be certain, you can try with another Samsung galaxy device. Windows 7 or better will install the driver for you when you plug it in for the first time. If your computer doesn't make a "connected usb device" sound, you'll probably need to skip to the end. Even with the wrong or no driver's, windows will still announce a connected usb device, so pay attention.
4. Make sure the "usb debugging" mode is enabled in settings, although on all three of my test machines, it didn't matter.
5. Make sure "mtp" is checked in storage settings, although in all three of my test machines, it didn't matter.
6. Finally, the things which has made you crazy and brought you here. Samsung tells you to wips your device, people in forums have ignored you, accused you of being a noob, insulted you in unimaginable ways, but here you are, and you're not crazy. So I can't tell you why your tab doesn't connect, but I can tell you how it got that way. I can even repeat the steps that made it happen. You may have installed OTA ICS 4.0.4 update for your tab. Then upon restart, your tab no longer connected to your pc. it no longer recognized the usb sdcard reader, you couldn't get kies or odin to connect to it. You were f**ked!
Here is how I fixed it each time. I purchased the Samsung OEM desktop dock, plugged that into my win7 x64 laptop, then plugged the tab into the dock! My laptop immediately detected my undetectable tab, and my tab announced a usb connection with laptop. So freaking simple it makes me sick! Now the tab works with cable or dock.
The dock model number is Samsung EDD-D100BE Desktop dock
If you found this useful, please give me a thanks.
Theory what causes the problem. For some reason the hardware id gets corrupted inside the Tab itself. Introducing the dock, changes the hardware Id and the tab can communicate over usb again. I'll figure this out and post more details as I learn.

I wish this worked, but it didn't for me. Bought myself the Samsung Dock edd-d100be and tried it on all of my computers, but none of them detected it. It's not the cord, since I tried another one. It charges fine, but the computer never sees it.

it's very important to make sure you have the original Samsung OEM cable. I had two additional (chinese made) cables which worked for my 7300, but refused to work with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Moreover I had one cable which was the original Samsung cable but it didn't work also. I'm fairly certain that cable didn't work because of the abuse of traveling around the world for a couple of years . All of those cables appeared to function because they charged the tablets perfectly. For me this was an incorrect assumption. It is possible for the cable to charge the tablet but still give the inconsistent data rates because of loose wires, being pulled, bent connectors, ... We must also try to remember that for many of us the cable is a consumable item. That simply means it deteriorates, with use, overtime! So when I had the new Samsung OEM cable, had all the settings correct, with driver's installed, then dropped the tablet into the dock, my P7500 connected to my computer. If you've done all these things, blew out the connector with the cannefd air on the tablet, and you haven't skipped any points, or made any assumptions, it might very well be that your port on the tablet is broken.
I hope this helps.

hi i have the same problem with My GT p7500
My tab is softbreaked and its notre reconized by windows and Odin i ve try many cable but thé result was the same ,i ve tried with My friend s one and everything was OK. I ve bought a new USB charging dock and flex câble but thé result was the same ,i don t know what tout do now. Can i copy an deodexed ROM into My internal sd card throught otg USB with My twrp file manager since i can still access it and download mode? Please i need your help
Excuse My poor english.
Title says it all. I can't download any large apps, download from the browser. I can sideload my apps straight from google drive. I need a physical SD card to download files from the internet, and to download large apps, like VOEZ. Moving on, there is another issue I have with my unit. USB. I plugged it into my computer many times, and it just never finds it. I was once able to look at the files on the device with ADB enabled, but when I opened up a Windows VM (I run Ubuntu) and fired up Kingroot but could not find it, so I unplugged, and plugged it in again, only to lose the data connection over USB, and only charged from then afterwards. After this, I knew that the USB port was perfectly OK, so there was no damage or any issue to the port itself. When I had this phone as my sole daily driver before I had switched to my iPhone, it was neglected heavily (by me) because of these abhorrent issues that drove me insane. I now want to put some life back into this thing by rooting it, which was my goal from day 1 when I had gotten it, but these issues made such practically impossible. So, with the ramble out of the way, can someone find a way to fix this this internal storage and USB issue? I'd love to give it a chance once again. Oh, and I got this phone for free from a "government lifeline" program, which has its Androids completely restricted in a way where rooting is hard to achieve, but possible.
Model #: PG86100
Before this phone, or even my 6 Plus, I had a N5, which now has a broken display/speaker ZIF connector on the mainboard. I just wanted to point out that this was not my first android, and would really love to relive the days that I had with my N5 before it died.
