lost USB mounting CM9->Sammy ICS - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Folks.
Lost my USB mounting and I don't know why. Switched over from CM9 (mounting in windows works without any problems with the recommend driver) but now when I plugged in my cabel, windows can't installed the driver (using LP7 with CFroot).
I reinstalled the driver, choose manualy the driver but nothing worked.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

try with usb debugging mode...
must be your PC issue....put the cable to the direct mother board socket after PC reboot

Also tried it with USB Debugging on and off on every USB port and two diffrent pcs.

having the same problem since using ics r. remix and still cant fix

Nice to see that I am not the only one.
And yes to all others. We could use airdroid but I am not everytime in the same wlan.

aha well, some ICS roms dont support USB mass storage.. which is gay, but it should go back to normal when you flash back to a GB rom... which is wierd. I find many issues are fixed if... DUN DUN DUUUUUUUNNNN you unroot then reroot. This will delete all your shiz, so makesure you have a few CWM system backups saved
You probably know this, but i hope it helps

Could you list what LP7 rom you got (stock?).
Do you mean USB Mass Storage (ICS style) or MTP (GB style)?
I'm on WanamLite v10.7 (also LP7) with Siyah 3.0.1.
I didn't try stock LP7 / CF-Root so I'm not sure what might be the reason in that setup but here everything is working great.
You might want to try to download the latest Kies (even if you don't use it) and get the latest drivers that way - some times helps.

Hey.
Runing this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24753451&posted=1#post24753451
Which is nearly stock...deodexed and so on...
I am running atm the old LP7, now i saw that chainfire released the actual WLP7 (will flash it tonoght).
I mean the ICS mounting method. It is the stock one from this rom.
Kies is a good idea. Will also try it this evening.
Thanks for your help.

How to enable USB mass storage on Android 4.0 ICS Samsung Galaxy S2:

USB mass storage
Hi,
That doesn't seem to work with the latest updates of ICS (4.0.4?). When plugging in the HTC Desire, I get the USB notofication and tapping on that allows selection of mounting the USB mass storage. However, on my Galaxy S2, I don't get the USB notification and so no option to mount USB. Under settings -> More - I don't have any USB utilities.
I'm running CM9 nightly from Apr 13th and Siyah 3.1rc2 kernel. Anyone else?

known issue in the latest AOKP ICS...heard that you can access through MTP

access through mtp
Thanks for the hint about MTP and glad I'm not losing the plot re AKOP known problem....
I had seen the device show up and assumed it was MTP, but there is no indication on the phone that it is connected thru MTP. I didn't want to try anything in case I messed up. Not a pressing issue for the mo, though. I presume the BYT (bright young things) will work this out soon...

My USB Mount only works on Villainrom now..

Hey so I've been using Villainrom happily for a while now but recently tried out cyanogenmod which worked fine except for no USB mount. I figured it was just the rom and went back to Villainrom, USB working fine again.
With ICS themes being available to checkrom and batista roms, I gave them a go and found that USB Mount doesn't work on these either
I'm back on Villainrom 3.0 now after downloading PC drivers from google, samsung, and just about every source mentioned on XDA + search engines plus installing Kies and (almost considered going back to stock everything with Odin) no luck. The error message is USB Device malfunctioned in a big balloon message on the trey.
The phone will charge but not recognize a USB device being attached for mounting, tried turning debugging on and off, and starting USB from wifi.
Not a big deal as I can mount USB Now on VillainRom. But I'm super curious as to why none of the other roms are working for me
I have the original USB cable as well as another third party one. For some reason my laptop responds better to the third party one so I've always used that, tried both but no results.
Specs:
Windows 7 64 samsung laptop
Samsung Galaxy S2
Baseband: 19100XXKI1
Kernel: [email protected] #20
Build: VillainRom 3.0
Phone made in Korea, imported to New Zealand, currently operating in Korea
Any suggestions appreciated
XXKI1 is my baseband... could that be the problem?
Cool, if anyone comes here looking for help with Samsung MTP Device not working, uninstall ALL of your USB drivers and reboot. solved

[Q] Help needed with USB Mass Storage problem

Morning all.
As of yesterday, my S2 won't connect to any pc in mass storage mode.
At first it connected as it should, but after about 5 minutes - before I'd transferred anything - I got a message that windows couldn't recognise the device/driver installation unsuccessful.
Since then I get this message immediately, have tried 4 different pcs.
Would seem the USB drivers are FUBAR somehow, but MTP via Kies works, as does Odin.
I've tried a full factory reset/reinstall, previous backups - stock and custom - removed, reinstalled and updated Kies, cleaned the USB port on the phone - nothing doing. Have tried stock kernels, Siyah, Nimphetamine - nothing. Currently on XWKL1, custom ROM (krinyo's SlimROM) with Siyah 2.6.3+
Also tried uninstalling various USB ports on my home pc, but stopped when I discovered it was the same on all pcs.
It's not the end of the world - I have bluetooth and my microSD - but it's a PITA and I'm out of ideas.
Many thanks for any help/suggestions.

Yes, forgot to add that, sorry. Tried with and without, no difference.
Tried changing the usb cable?
From another post
Dear All
Following are my observations and possible steps to
1. When the phone is upgraded to Android 2.3.4 and above (mine is 2.3.6) Kies stops recognizing the phones and USB connection / Serial port connections etc get reset on the phone
2. Even if proper drivers are there on the laptop (mine is Windows 7 64bit) they are not recognized
3. Device Manager shows "unknown device"
4. Updating the driver also does not result in any help
5. solution lies in the phone
a. key in the dialer *#7284#
b. it has 4 option there..
UART (MODEM/PDA)
USB (MODEM/PDA)
c. For USB. select the PDA.if it already selected to PDA. reselect it by select MODEM and then PDA again.. Only change the USB setting.. andthen press back. try reconnect (thanks to napi1 @ androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-international/447145-sgs2-kies-not-syncing-os-2-3-5-a.html#post3484588)
6. The Laptop will start recognizing the required drivers and install them

Getting a Service Mode FC when I enter that code in the keypad.
Will try it with an older backup.
Edit - tried it with a backup of CheckROM , 2.3.6. No FC, PDA already selected. Tried 5c above, still no good - unknown device on pc..

No. Can't see that there's a problem there if Kies and Odin connect OK.

Bugger me, it was the cable....
Bought a new S2 yesterday - nice to have a backup, and the Nexus is meh - and tried the new cable on old S2, everything fine. Old cable on new S2, no good for USB but fine for Kies and Odin as mentioned before.
No idea why it should be like this, but sh*t happens. Easiest solution is often the best!
same problem happened to me too
I have the exact same problem, tried everything like OP, even new cable still same issue...any ideas?

Not your average USB issue

Details : CM7 latest nightly with Siyah Kernel v2.6.12
Symptoms : My PC previously recognizes my phone without an issue (with the exception on when i flashed CM9), I then flashed back to CM7 it was working initially, now my PC does not detect/recognize phone (either nothing happens besides charging or states phone is an unknown device, the latter only happens like 1 out of 20 tries, as it is installing the driver SAMSUNG_ANDROID, it says device suddenly disconnected) even in recovery, Odin can't detect phone. Phone still charges as normal. Phone at times (subject to whether PC states the device is unkown) says there is a USB connection, and still maintains it eventhough i have pulled out the USB cable.
I still am able to transfer files to my phone's internal SD via Airdroid.
Remedies tried : Different PC Port, different computers, cleaned registry via CCleaner, reinstalling Kies & drivers, trying a different Rom & Kernel, cleaning phone's USB port.
Any advice guys? what other possible remedies there is? or is this something besides a USB problem?
Have you tried flashing original firmware to see if the problem persists?

ah good idea mate, will give that a go, cheers!
I have the same problem and have to connect to my USB manually ever since. Here is my fix:
Settings -> Wireless & Network -> USB Utilities -> Connect Storage to PC
Hope that helps. CHeerz

i don't have usb utilities under W&N, maybe cause i am using cm7 which is an AOSP rom? still haven't try the stock ROM method yet, gonna give it a go after class...
Guys just asking, if i flashed the wrong bootloader, could odin still detect my phone in download mode?

[Q] [Solved?] No PC Detection on AOKP ROMs

Ok so I was previously running Hydr0g3n ICS ROM an older version and I had mount problems where only internal sd would mount, but it mounted at least. Occasionally I'd have to reboot my laptop because of no detection but that'd fix it.
Fast forward to a couple of days ago and I installed Resurrection Remix 04/05 but got really weird issues when connecting to my laptop e.g. installing device drivers, failing, usb sounds coming and going, device being recognised then disappearing again. Eventually no response. I reflashed, fully wiped, everything, experimented with drivers. Then plugged it into a mates (newer) laptop and it worked?
Back to mine, didn't work, installed Hydr0g3n ICS 05/05 which ran a lot smoother but still same issues, I repeated the steps above and even after device drivers actually successfully installed, it'd work and then next day no response or detection when plugging in USB. Since then I've gone through the drivers route again, trying all sorts of windows fixes, it still works fine when plugged into a newer laptop.
So after all my research etc I've realised that it seems to be some sort of power issue with the phone/ROM, perhaps the newer laptops have more USB hubs which aren't shared between many devices and so it works but mine is very intermittent if not non-existent. Oh, all other USB devices work, flash drives, external hard drives, I have never had any issues with any USB devices. Just this.
Also, I've tried toggling USB Debugging, and MTP UMS PTP, nothing. Read something about fast charge but have no notification that it's enabled on boot and no option to disable it in Kernel tweaks since I'm not on a supported kernel.
Hydr0g3n ICS ROM 2012 05 05 SGS2
3.0.29 Siyah v3.1.2
Any help would be much appreciated.
UPDATE:
I ordered a powered USB hub off eBay, it arrived today and did not work with the phone.
UPDATE 2:
So I recently stole my dads TouchPad and installed AOKP on it, my laptop detected it absolutely fine in MTP mode.
It uses the same cable so I figured, why not?
I plugged it in and hey presto, it popped up -_-
It's so strange the stock cable works on everyone elses laptops but mine, I don't know if it'll still work tomorrow though, I suppose if I don't re-comment then it still is working.
Bump?

just try 2 flash the latest siyah kernel and check
On Windows 7, after several USB connect-disconnect, I would experience Windows not responding to connection any more on that very USB port.
I usually have adb server running in background, so "Safely remove" feature is blocked, and I would simply remove after file operations are over.
I made a .bat file on desktop, that simply performs "adb kill-server", so that I can safely remove it, and have not experienced this problem since then.

I've tried all of the kernels, Siyah, Thoravukk, NEAK, and multiple versions of Siyah too, including the latest one.
Also my powered USB hub arrived today and it did not remedy the issue.

Could you perhaps explain this a little more to me?
I plug it in and literally it charges but absolutely nothing else happens. Anything else works in the same port, just not the phone for some reason.
USB problems basics .
USB port should be mainboard port .
Usb Port on phone multiple USB problem posts say clean port .
Kies or Samsung USB drivers should be installed with Kies not running .
USB cable try Samsung cable or another .
Try USB debugging off and or on .

1) Yes they are all mainboard ports - No response.
2) Have cleaned USB ports on mainboard many times. This seems irrelevant too since all other devices are recognized.
3) Have also experimented with combinations of this. (All combinations) Nothing.
4) I have only tried the Samsung cable since it's all I have, and it works on all of my friends laptops.
Also, I plug it in, and it draws power (aka it charges) but nothing else. Not even a windows 'bong'. Even with the powered USB hub, it still only charges.
However the minute I plug it into a friends laptop it seems to work just fine.
@ op
goto device manager and uninstall the android devices you see there with the option "delete device drivers completely" and make a reboot.
now install the usb drivers and plug in the device.

This last point tells me there are possibly some registry settings on your computer that are keeping the drivers from loading properly.
I've never had to do this, so I don't know what to look for EXACTLY, but you may need to get a registry cleaner and try to eradicate all traces of Kies and Samsung drivers from your computer, then re-install either Kies (to get the drivers) or the stand-alone USB drivers.
I remember reading another post some time back about some other guy who actually totally re-installed Windows... which is a bit like using explosives to kill a mosquito, if you ask me.
However, try bala_gamer's suggestion first. That may be all that is needed.

NO its the phone USB port .
Agree that if all fails try reinstall of Kies and drivers after a delete .
Delete registry kies .

So believe it or not I didn't actually go into detail in the op! But a few more things to note are that the device does not show up in device manager at all. Even with shadow device detection enabled. I have used all manner of driver software available to clear out all old usb drivers/any drivers which may be conflicting etc. I have also removed and reinstalled the usb host controllers and root hubs many times

Yes, indeed I also believed it to be some sort of registry problem, I have also used tune up utlities, registry mechanic and ccleaner (I think thats all there was!) and run registry scans/cleans/fixes/defrags. To no avail. I was actually considering reinstalling windows or something.

Yes, my bad, I have also cleaned that too. Also I didn't think it could be that since it seems to work on everyone elses laptop.

I had the same problem with AOKP ROMs and then I installed MIUI and it worked again, I guess you can try any other ROM (not AOKP) and check if it solves your problem.
