I have the following problems:
1. I can`t copy files to both the internal and external sdcard through usb
I tried to uninstall Kies and all the drivers, rebooted and reconnected the phone and windows says usb drivers not installed: missing cdc serial number. Than i installed Samsung mobile USB driver 1.5.5.0 and still cannot transfer files to and from the phone.
2. If i transfer files with Airdroid i cannot flash tem, it says E: not accessible ( i formated the external sdcard twice both on the phone and on the pc). Flashing from the internal sdcard is also not possible.
I have no clue what happened and i hope someone can provide a usefull tip. I`am on stock rom right now ,not rooted and did a factory reset and still no transfer possible. Get the message: Device stopped answering or the connection is broken. Tried several usb ports, using a samsung usb cable.

Is there a way that I can just connect my Vibrant to a computer without having to Install the Samsung Drivers?, that will be great because I will be able to bring data without a pesky Pen or Flash drive.
Ok the real question should be if I can make other computers see my vibrants SD's without the damn Samsung Drivers...
Settings>Applications>USB Settings
Set to Mass Storage

USB Debugging off
ANY USB device you plug into XP/VISTA/7 will install drivers, but in most cases they will be mass storage drivers. This happens when you plug in a USB flash drive into a PC for the first time, Windows will install it's own drivers but work fine after that.
Same with the Vibrant - it will install mass storage drivers only once and after that it will show up as removable storage. The drivers don't have to be downloaded they are built into windows.
If you plan to flash your phone then you will need to download the drivers yourself and enable USB debugging.
But to use your phone as a flash drive just plug it in and you will see 2 new drive letters, on for internal phone memory and one for SD card..
If you updated to froyo.ka6 via mini kies you will also see a third drive, listed as a cd-rom. Weird.
Thx a lot!, ill check it out as soon as possible!
All,
I've tried everything and I cannot get my PC's to recognise my GS2.
It's not even constant, sometimes I connect it via USB to the PC and it comes up as unrecongised device, other times it will detect as a camera as GT-i9100 (regardless of it I select MTP)... I've reinstalled Kiers I don't know how many times and have even manually installed the drivers but still no luck.
So I gave up with that as I only want to connect to Odin to get rid of this crap software. So I downloaded the CWM root package onto my SD Card and booted into recovery, went to apply the zip and it says it cannot mount /sdcard as not such directory exists?!?! Now I don't have an external SD Card but the .zip file is located on the internal storage in /sdcard/Downloads.
I have a Mac at home that allowed a connection into Kiers first time to update to stock ICS - should I just abandon this trying to connect to Windows and try and find an alternative to Odin for Mac?
Thanks for any help at all.
Dan.
but the .zip file is located on the internal storage in /sdcard/Downloads.
NO try copy pasting update zip file on root of SD card then try....
Edit : this rooting methed you can only try on ICS vesrions
Thanks ZACQ8.
I just thought I'd try another USB cable as a last shot, and OMG it started installing the drivers Still failed to install the Mobile MTP Device but it's getting there...
You have to use the same USB port when you connect your SGSII.
I noticed that if I plugged it into another port the phone would come up as unrecognised - this was all tested on a few PCs when the phone was on GB and connecting as an external hard drive.
I haven't tested if the problem still exists with ICS, as it do 'external hard drive'.
Seems like it was the cable all along...
Phone now recognised in Odin and Device Manager.
Pile of crap.
Hello guys. I need to recover lost files which was on SGS 3's internal memory. I have software on PC which could recover them, but I could not connect phone as usb drive to PC. Anyone knows how to solve this problem?
thank you.
Search the exact same question asked multiple times .
Install USB drivers .

Are you sure that I can mount internal SD card as USB flash disk to PC after installing USB drivers?
No you can't. There is no ums mode anymore so the phone will not show up on your pc as a drive with a driveletter. Your recovery programs will not be able to recover.
If the files are on sd card you can try undelete or stick the sd in the pc to recover.

Hello guys. So I've been recently using my Canvas HD with the Unoffical Cyanogenmod 11 (4.4.4). Here are the issues I face -
1. - My computer does not detect a USB Connection. I mean after connecting the USB the phone charges well enough, but neither the PC detects the phone nor is there an option of USB Mass Storage in the phone. Although I can still Tether internet or enable Debugging. I checked device manager and after connecting the device the mtk preloader comes up for a second and then disappears.
2 - I tried to use the Expand Phone Storage thing on my device for the A116. Now what has happened is that while I did it, SP Flash Tools could not locate my device (this is either due to USB not working or me not having VCOM drivers. And I need to be connected by USB phone to install VCOM Drivers. I use Win 8.1). So, while my internal storage is now 2.46 GB, my Internal SD Card has gone corrupt and no longer shows anything. I can't even start the Gallery now. External SD works just fine.
So these are the issues I face. I'm kind of new to these things so if anyone could help me, I would highly appreciate it. Thankyou.
Flash the ebr files...
If you don't have SD card or USB OTG .
And used the tips available on the net on Format and repair / modify files via TWRP. But still does not work. And you are sure of the functionality of the USB and ports.
So here is the simple solution: uninstall google ADB drivers, or any other driver not related to your phone ' manufacturer. Repulse /replug the USB cable and wait for the reinstallation of the drivers. MTP will appear. But restart your PC to get storage. (paste your recovery there) if you are trying to restore a backup. Or flash file (custom or stored ROM). Good luck
