Hello All,
I got my new Galaxy S II yesterday and it came with ICS. I am trying to connect the phone on to the PC as Mass Storage - but as soon as I connect my phone, my PC (Which runs on XP) says "USB Device not recognized". I tried USB Debugging, enabling Mass storage under Settings->More->USB utilities etc. Nothing works. I even tried with a different cable - no luck. Can anyone help me to fix this issue? Thanks a lot.

USB mass storage was removed by default in the ICS upgrade. Now the S2 uses MTP, similar to the Galaxy Nexus. Windows 7, Ubuntu & OS X can read it, but XP doesn't have MTP functionality built in. I guess it can be enabled though, don't know how. In any case, USB mass storage is still accessible, follow the link.

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?
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.

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
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.
Android version: 2.3.4
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Firmware version: LGP990-V20d
Please help!
Just some updates.

My computer showed the unknown device message when I chose CP UART. I'm working on the rest of the fix now, and hopefully the problem can be solved.

Hey Guys,
I just flashed to CM9 on my LG C800 and its working amazingly I cant believe I didn't look this up sooner.
Here is my problem
My computer wont recognize my phone when it is setup as a Mass Storage Device (Yes I'm click Turn on USB storage).
Normally I never needed any drivers for this before but just to make sure I installed the ones from LG and to my surprise no luck.
I can use USB if its as a camera or a media device (Not useful for me)
I flashed cm-9-20121125-NIGHTLY-c800
Currently Running
Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1 (not a virtual machine)
It keeps trying to install "MTP USB device"
If anyone has any idea I would appreciate it, I've looked in the original thread for any posts but I haven't found much of anything.

I think your map is turned upside down. We don't have sd card slots, much less UMS.

Thanks for the quick response, but my phone does have a microSD card slot and I've used it as a mass storage device when it was using the stock firmware.
I found this thread that says some phones lack the mass storage support
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389375
I'm not sure if this is still outdated or not? Anyone with a C800 that has CM9 having this problem or not having this problem?
I also flashed this 4/29 ICS package

Hy everyone!
I have problem with my samsung galaxy tab P7500..it wont recognize my usb. in notification bar shows that is connected but it is not. there is no folder od something with my usb staff. it worked fine, and then just stopped. i dont know why
before, when i connected usb, tab opened a folder of usb, but now nothing..
did i miss something? where did i get wrong??
please heelp!!
P.S. sorry for my english
Switch to a different USB port. It seems like a stupid answer, but it is a common problem. Switching from the form factor USB ports (front panel) to the board mounted ports (rear panel) or visa-verse often works.
i know this may be an old post but here goes, i have the same problem, my PC tells me that the drivers for my tab are installed but i can not see it in my PC.
i connected it to different USB ports but still i can not see it.
i tried turning the debugging on/off still to no successes.
7500 tab, cyanogenmod 4.0.4 (9 nightly )

Try unistalling kies and the Samsung drivers, restart the pc and just install the driver. See if that works.

Okay, I just googled your problem... Try removing the device from device management (sorry, it was a Dutch site, translation might be different) in Windows. Then reconnect it.

Then I only have 2 more options available before I run out of ideas.
1) did you enable mtp under the storage options on your tab?
2) your USB cable might be defective. Try a different cable.

Hi
Hope somebody could help me.
my tab is p7500. official ics and rooted. i try to connect usb otg and it working by showing "USB connector connect" .
I can connect it with 1gb flash drive. But when i connect with 2 gb flash drive or higher, the tab will show "High-power usb device connected. cannot access to this device".
why it show like that? is the tab only can access flash drive with 1gb memory and below? or there is some setting that need to be done if want to connect with higher than 1gb flash drive?
Please see the picture attach...

I can't believe that the p7500 wouldn't support flash memory over 1gb. I've heard of people using a USB hub that has it's own power supply for OTG.

I like to just share a PC drive or folder on my network, then us ES File Explorer to find the video on your network and stream it over wifi to MX player on the droid. It's a little technical to set up, but a good thing to know.
