Did you remember to turn on USB debugging ?
Hit thanks if I helped !
I tried already, the usb debbuging is detected but the sdcard and internal was not detected.
I'm not sure but maybe your device doesn't use UMS( usb mass storage protocol) anymore, instead it uses MTP( media transfer protocol) and it doesn't work all the time, try and see what pc companion says

I already solved the problem, i flashed the GB stock firmware then go to device manager and update both internal and sdcard drivers. Then I flashed the ICS stock firmware and it works.

Hi Guys,
I have a problem.
In clockwork Mod my phone cannot see the external SD card to flash a rom. Also, my pc cannot see the internal SD when in Mount. This means I am stuck without a rom and cannot use the phone.
Is there a way to fix this?
Cheers,
Jimi
Did you installed kies to have on your pc the latest samsung mobile drivers? (but dont forget to kill kies and not having it running in background if you planning to use Odin)
Im not 100% sure but the External SD only from cwm 4.1+ can be used, otherwise only usb mass storage (but i can be totally wrong here)
ALWAYS do nandroid backup before doing ANYTHING to your phone. As mentioned above, make sure you have installed drivers, then from CWM you should be able to mount internal storage to PC. If by some reason that doesn't work, see if ODIN will recognize your connected phone, if yes, then flash any ROM from ODIN.

I`m having a problem, when I try to explore the files in my internal sd card, the windows explorer crashes. Both mtp or usb debugging mode does not work.
Odin does not work as well to
Despite this issues my GS2 is working good. But I cant transfer Music or photos using USB
OK, that is the problem, but my question is if I can use a (one file package) that I downloaded here (that the tutorial said to flash it with ODIN) and use this file to update my ROM using recovery mode > update from SD card...
thank you
The question was if I can use a ODIN file to update from sd card using recovery mode > the answer is NO
I had a problem that my pc was not recognizing my phone, that way i couldn`t use ODIN to flash a firmware I wanned.
the solution is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382838
Resuming what I did:
unnistall kies and usb samsung drivers
checked usb debbuging mode ON
turn off cel
put cell in download mode and conect usb cable in my notebook
and reinstall kies with the usb cabble plugged IN, and than, windows recognized it, installed drivers, and I flashed the rom I wanned.
No Odin packages cannot be flashed from recovery .
Post reads as if you have no USB drivers installed from KIES ..
Check MOBILE ODIN on the market to flash from SD card .
How are you going to put a file on the SD card without USB .
jje
can you mount USB storage in recovery? If so transfer the odin file using recovery then use mobile odin to flash it.
Ricey
i can tranfer files using kies air,... wi-fi
thanks for the idea mobile odin, i think it will really help
i'll have to root my cel to use this... i`ve read a lot of options, which one is the best?
many thanks
Root + CWM .

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.
i just installed an AOKP rom and when i try to access the internal storage of the device i can see that it is partially full but i cant seem to see any files inside when i open it. does this happen to anyone else? any thoughts?
No usb storage mode for GS3 internal memory. Only MTP.

USB Mass Storage, or UMS, was replaced by Media TransferProtocol, or MTP for ICS & above.

thanks for the quick reply, i was referring to files i had copied over to the phone before i flashed the new rom which i cannot see any longer, together with all the folders and stuff. does this mean i have to copy the files i want to keep all into my computer and then manually transfer into the phone again?
Do you have samsung driver or kies installed on your computer?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
yep i do, i installed the drivers off the s3 toolkit, thats how i was able to copy content onto the phone in the first place
install kies driver and android sdk driver
that will solve the problem of my files not appearing inside the phone after its connected? my computer can recognise the phone and i can open it up and even tell how much free space there is, but the inside is totally empty, when i flash back to omega the files can be seen again. im just wondering if this is a jellybean peculiarity
Install kies if you haven't already.. If that doesn't work, restart the phone and then try.
i have an xperia U phone and recently the phone won't connect to the computer when it's ON (the phone)
(1) in the device manager shows that there is an MTP device connected and in my computer shows a hidden removable disk
when i tried to uninstall and then reinstall the driver it took a minute and then it installed correctly but it was the same as (1) above
although the phone shows that it's charging.
but it works well when i mount it in CWM , so i really don't want to flash again or do wipes i want to know where the problem is &
Fix it,
another question
why isn't there a mass storage like in the CWM when the phone is on??
and does wiping \system do any thing wrong?? i mean before restoring a backup??
Which os are u using on ur pc.. make sure u have proper drivers... windows 8 cant detect my phone in mtp..
Also cwm has a mount usb option
Format system in cwm will wipe ur system folder.. be careful
U will enter a bootloop then

i am using a windows 7 64-bit and it was working before but when i was testing some costume kernals it suddenly happened
but i tried to revert back to before i test the krnals using backup & restore and the same problem persists .
and when i asked about the cwm i meant that why isn't that future (mount usb storage) working outside cwm i mean when the phone is working
normally.
