hi. the problem im having is that i cant connect my phone to transfer files such as music and photos. i can use apps like airdroid and kies but want to discover the problem and have an easier way off organizing my files from computer to phone.
i recently flashed cm-9-20121209-NIGHTLY-galaxys2.zip then installed gapps-ics-201204929-signed.zip from internal storage.
thats the only two things i have done.
a window used to pop up when i plugged in the usb and it would also appear on 'MyComputer' folder. but neither happen now. I still get the connected sound when i connect the phone. I have tried different usb slots on my computer and have tried turning my phone off and on and rebooting it.
do i need a special driver for the cyanogenmod rom? thats the only thing i can think of!
anyone have any suggestions?
thanks

Drag notification bar down and select USB Connected.

That happened to me once, I restarted my computer and it worked. I would also just tried another USB port after that
I've been having this problem for awhile. I've switched phones, computers
erased my sd. I don't know what the problem is.. Ive even bought a new usb cord. I'm going to buy a new sd card and try that. My computer says it doesn't recognize my phone. All I want is too put music on my card.. It worked so nice before the ota 2.1...i really appreciate your input.
It could be the drivers. See if it gives you the option to uninstall the drivers from Device Manager. Maybe you can add an ADB device. I forget how.
my computer would not recognize my infuse...
(btw i have windows 7 ultimate)
have kies installed on my computer, tried uninstalling, reinstalling..still no hope
when i connect my phone to comp it says device not recognized
i dont think there is any problem with my cord, because i just root my bros captivate today with the cord i have.
any suggestions?
Similar issue for me
i have a simialr problem but for me its the phone gets recognized but it wont let me do mass storage so i cant drag and drop things to and from my phone.
HOWEVER i did find a app that made the cable not neccissary.
its called "Software Data Cable"
it hosts a ftp server off your phone and over wifi lets you connect to the phone with a ftp client like filezilla and move or copy things from your phone without having it plugged into your computer, you can set in the settings, a username and pass so connection can be secured.
by default the app sets the port to 8888 witch for me didnt work so i used 6464
and it works fine.
-really recommend setting a username and password to be required to connect
yea that would be good for transferring data..
but what if i brick my phone and cannot connect to pc. then im screwed

Thats why i always keep a spare kernel and ROM that i know works completly on the sd card just in case, along with backups of recovery and boot and system.

This is one of the very real risks you run when flashing custom rooms.
I searched on the web and found some similar problems but not an answer to what is happening to my phone.
My GS3 is running CheckROM v5.5 android 4.1.1 and I cannot connect it succesfully to any computer via USB.
Inicially, after I got CheckROM, it was working, but I don't know what I did that made it stop working.
I've tried to connect it to a PC and a Mac, tried with Kies and without it. On the mac also tried with and without the Android File Transfer.
I tried with USB Debugger on and off, too.
I am almost certain the problem is in the phone, because when I plug it there is no message about choosing MTP or Camera mode, or anything like that, it's just like I am charging it on the wall.
Also, I am able to sync it to Kies with Wi-fi connection on my PC.
What I really want is to be able to transfer music and larger files to the phone via USB.
My phone does not have an external SD card, just internal memory. Is there something I'm missing that can fix this?
Sorry about any english mistakes ;}

The phone won't be detected by the computer. It does not appear on windows explorer.
Then you have no drivers install drivers see sticky on page one of General .

Hello,
I installed yesterday a custom rom with 2.3.4 for an Xperia Play device and I've noticed that the phone is properly recognized, all drivers are fine, I can go into fastboot mode, bootloader unlocked, etc... and I can see the microSD card from the phone when this is plugged to the computer via USB.
The problem is that I copy files from the computer to the phone, windows takes its time and at the end says that it's all good, you can see the files in the phone, however when you then unplug the phone and go to that location, none of the new files are there?! :S
More weird is that then you plug the phone back to windows and the files appear there again?
Any idea what could be going on? and how I could copy files from windows to this android in this case?
Cheers!!
Maybe just links
Maybe you just linked to the files on your Computer. Move/Rename them on your Computer and see if you can still open them on your phone. If no you just created a link to the data stored on your computers hard drive. If yes I also can't tell you what's going on
Thanks, no the files were the complete files, no links.
I've been looking into this further, and reflash the mobile with a total different rom and still happening there (although with this new rom doesn't happen 100% of the times like with the other). What I've just now noticed is that the mobile doesn't recognize those files, but... if I REBOOT it, then they appear once it starts up?! so weird.... :S
Hi all,
I'm having trouble with copying files to the phone. When I connect it to my PC via USB The device pops up in explorer, but every time I try to copy something it fails. When I try to copy entire folders (I'm trying to copy Flac and MP3 music) W10 gives an error that it can't copy the files. When I try to copy files, it shows the copying dialog, but nothing ever happens, however long I wait. I've tried debugging mode, uninstalling Kies, Uninstalling the Samsung drivers, installing ADB drivers,... nothing seems to work. If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.
I've also tried a new USB-C 3.1 cable, to no avail. I'm using the USB 3.0 port. When I try an USB 2.0 port with the USB 3 cable, the phone doesn't show up. Which is weird I guess but maybe due to the nature of USB-C.

I forgot to mention that I tried copying a picture from the phone to my pc, which worked perfectly.
Hello, I know your message was time ago, but I have now exactly the same problem with a Leeco LE 2, also with C-type USB, and searching for some solution I have found your question. ¿Did yoy manage to find the way to fix this problem?
Regards

You probably connected your phone to the PC as Camera(PTP).
When you connect your phone to your PC, the USB symbol should appear at the top of the screen. Swipe your finger from top of the screen down you will see the USB symbol saying USB for charging. Click on it you will see the 3 connection options, pick Media device(MTP) and you should be able to copies files between your PC.
Thank you for your response, but I'm afraid that this was right, I tried it with the MTP mode enabled.
me too i have problem of copy , I can transfer files to the phone, but I can not copy from the smartphone to the pc
MTP and usb debug is actived
i cant recover my TWRP backup
With version of software do you have?
Running 21s build with Server2016 and when I tried to cut the /DCIM/Camera directory frome the LeEco it just deleted it. Ughhhh.
Did you manage to solve this?
I'm in the same situation. I can't copy mp3 files to the internal memory of the device.
