Hey Guys,
I am having a vexing problem with my rooted NC. All of a sudden, after 5 great days of rooted goodness my NC will not sync up with my PC at all, not as itself or as a mass storage device. Moments before this happened, I had downloaded some pdf magazines through Calibre and several moments before I had installed the RepliGo pdf reader app from the market. I have deleted the two magazines, rebooted both my nook and computer several times, tried all of my pc's usb ports, unchecked the usb auto mount, the re checked and nothing I have tried has worked. Everything else is working great and I can load files on to the sd card through my PC and they are recognized just fine after I re-install the card. Also, when I plug my cord in to the nook linked to the PC it starts charging just fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
OK, let's start with a dumb question. My NC can be fickle...sometimes when I connect USB, it automatically mounts, other times it takes a while. One thing is for sure...I get nothing unless I look at the screen, and make sure it's unlocked (swiped past the lock screen). Have you made sure to do that?
Sorry if that's an idiotic question.
-Matt
Thanks for the quick reply. Each time I plugged in my nook after I made some change I was sure to unlock to confirm that I was still having the same problem. Also, when looking in the device manager I doesn't seem to acknowledge that a new device has been plugged in which makes me thing something is going on with me nook.
Next question...have you tried a few different USB cables? Also, I'm on my second (soon to be third) Nook. The first had a USB port that appeared to have minor internal damage. When you plug in the USB does it go in smoothly, or does it take a few tries? If the latter you may have port issues.
-Matt
I haven't yet, but I plan on bringing the cord to a B&N close to my work tomorrow to see if that is the problem. Is there somewhere that I can get the nook color usb drivers? I have seen a link on nook devs but it is in the context of using adb so I don't know if it would apply to this situation.
Thanks
Jon
I get this too. Got my cable replaced at B&N today. Haven't tried it on my computer yet though. When I connected mine to my MacBook, it will say that the nook is drawing too much power and then disables my USB port. Annoying.

I was going to mention reinstalling the drivers, but you noted that it isn't showing up in device manager. But I wonder...take a look at:
http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_USB_ADB
In particular, this might be helpful:
If you did not succeed, identify each nook entry in device manager (each device with a Hardware ID of USB\VID_2080&..., right click and uninstall it. There may be several. Uninstall all of them. Unplug the nookColor, replug it, and restart from Section III.

So I would need to do all of the steps on the aforementioned nook devs site in order to reinstall the drivers. Also, in the device manager I looked at all the usb devices and did not find the right information to indicate the nook was attached.
Thanks for all of the help

Forgive me for my Basic lack of understanding on this one.
I'm running os x snow leopard 10.6.4 and when i plug it in usb it starts up a mtp application and only allows me access to pics and as a dial up modem. I would like to be able to mount the disc's to transfer files back and forth. and also when i run doubletwist it tells me to use the drop down menu but when im using usb there is no drop down menu. so no mounting.???
any ideas what im doing wrong?
You need to go into settings, applications, usb settings, and change it to ask when connected. Then when you plug it in choose mass storage from the list of options that come up. Also, enable usb debugging while you're at it

I feel like i'm going crazy here...
i have debugging enabled, i have my phone set to ask on connection.
i use osx 10.6.4.
there is no sign that i have a device detected on my mac.
the phone detects that it has been plugged in. (notifications)
i've gone to the notifications and selected mount.
i've used "adb devices" and get no results.
tried using double twist, nothing shows up.
my phone is still stock.
any help/ideas are appreciated!
Are you on a mac desktop? Mine would only recognize if I use a port on the back, not a port on the keyboard or the front of the machine....i think it's a power requirement thing. Try a different port and post the result.
Also try changing it from ask to being mountable instead and see if that changes things
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk
it's a macbook pro. i've toggled between the "ask on connection" and auto mount. i've selected to mount the drives from the notifications, all with not mac love. however, it seems to work with my windows box (using the usb on the back, not front). I would like to get it working on my macbook though as that is much more convenient (couch + tv and all). seems that mac + this phone is not officially supported? (no drivers from samsung anyway).
any tips/idea/suggestions are much appreciated.
This is what I did for my phone.
I put it on "ask when making a connection"
I always choose PC Internet.
I enable USB debugging.
Plug my phone in.
Then go to the USB notification and hit "mount drives"
Then it is on my desktop!
I am using the aluminum macbook.
thanks for the input. i'll have to try it again when i get home.
an interesting note:
when i attach it to my macbookpro and i have it on "ask" the phone will display the connected notification, but it will not ask.

I think when it is in USB debugging mode it will not work like that. But I always select that every time I can.
But having it to ask, it does not default to anything else. Not sure if it makes a difference or not, but I don't have problems putting anything on my SD card.
yeah, i'm totally not having any luck with this device on osx.
i have 2 usb ports. i've tried both. i think i've plugged in the phone with every different option... with/without secondary sd, debug on/off, mass storage ...
i even tried it in ubuntu running in vmware fusion.
i can confirm that it does work (it works on my work pc [windows 7]) and have decided that there may be one additional thing to try. i have the stock cord at work and i bought a backup from the local store. the connector on the micro-usb side might not let the port fully connect (it's a little fatter than the one Samsung sent with it). i don't know if that could really happen since it does charge and the phone thinks it's got a connection. but as of now seems my only hope.

Don't forget to exclude the storage drives from being indexed by Spotlight or you will get all those .filename files in every directory damn near it.....gah I hate Spotlight sometimes
OK. so, first i'd like to thank everyone for their input.
I have figured it all out. It is the #$%^&* backup cord I bought.
I took it to work where my stock samsung cord is (and the phone connects) and swapped out cords. I got the exact same result, phone notices that it is plugged in and begins to charge and allows me to select to mount the cards. The computer however doesn't recognize that a USB device was attached. So i took that damn blocky cord and pushed it in really hard and BAM-O! the drives show up and i get nice full access.
so, because of the recessed opening for the micro USB port on the phone combo'd with the blocky micro USB end of my cord I am not getting a complete connection. at least i have a back up charger. i only need to do my syncing/hacking at home.
I guess this post is a little premature, but i'm fairly positive that when i get home with the good cord all will be fine.
FYI: Don't get a "Retrak" cord from fred meyers.
For those still having trouble even after enabling USB debugging etc:
On my 2 week old 17" MBP, only one of the USB ports (the one closest to the power supply) will allow the phone to show up as mounted -- it's also the only port which will charge an ipad fwiw, so I suspect that it's a power requirement issue.
Bottom line: try all the USB ports on your machine.

OMG, thx for this post! I was having the same issue. Now it's fixed after I used the stock cord, lol.
usb issues with mac mounting and self eject
first my phone does not mount to my macbook like it used (since july) to with stock usb cord but still mounts to my imac (also with bootcamp xp2) and powerpc g4 all running the latest OS X
on imac, when i try to copy a folder from sd card to my mac the sd card will eject it self after starting coping files. it started with a system.img file from my rom backup files, now when i try to copy other folders even a jpg from DCIM will eject the sd card and external sd. (see attachement for error code) then the error message that the disk was not ejected properly. all happens with any random files, copying folders from mac to sd cards is fine
in xp2, the desktop windows freeze while coping is in process, then i need to disconnect the usb cord to get back to the desktop
i copied same folders from sd card to external sd on the phone itself and it works
update: now, only by selecting a file on external sd will unmount both sd cards!!! going to buy a replacement cord and see....
does anyone have any suggestions as to how i can get my nook to show up in my list of devices attached?
It will not show up, so this missing link is what is stopping me from pushing market to my nook.

thanks for the suggestion i should have mentioned that i am running a MAC
I use a new macbook air running the most recent Mac OS for android software development and was frustrated at the start. Now it is like clockwork.
The first time seemed the toughest.
My initial configurations was froyo with usb set to debugging support.
Plugged it into my mac and didn't see the device with "adb devices".
Unplugged it and plugged it in again - still didn't see it.
I switched the nook from usb debugging to usb storage. The nook indicated that a usb cable was present and I could see the device in "finder" as a usb drive.
Switched the nook back to usb debugging and presto - there it was in adb devices!.
It will still disconnect from the mac after a period even without going to sleep. The solution is to unplug/plug it in again and it will show back in the devices list.
Thought I was going mad getting this to work but I've got this down to a quick process.

thanks for the idea because any idea is something to look into at this point.
problem with your suggestion though is that i am running honeycomb on my nook i do not have a way in the usb selections to toggle between usb debugging and usb storage.
Try adb wireless. Works well for me under linux mint.
i cant do that otherwise i would, i cant get to the point of putting market on my device to where i could even download the ADBwireless app. since i cant do that i have to go with the usb plug in. in other words im screwed
adb kill-server
adb devices
Run the above as Root (if possible) while your NC is plugged in.

Hello,
I know that there are countless other threads about this issue all over the Internet, but many of them are from a year ago and none of them have helped me yet.
I've installed every driver recommended from these threads, I've restarted my phone, my computer(s), tried a different cable, USB Debugging on and off, reformatted the internal SD card, and still no luck. Kies doesn't recognize my phone. It doesn't show up in device manager or as an extra drive.
Using TW Launcher. I plug it in, select Mass Storage, hit "Connect USB Storage." It says that USB storage is in use. Yet there is no activity on my PC to indicate as such.
I can't get my Captivate to connect to a computer.
It used to connect just fine up until I upgraded to Froyo.
Is my phone a hopeless case that needs replacing, or am I missing something along the way here? I'd love to root it or at least roll back to 2.1 somehow.
Thanks so much for looking and for any help.
Reboot into download and connect to computer, see if that works.

I had a similar problem and it was definitely a hardware problem. At first it was recognized but then it would only charge via the pc - multiple windows 7 computers would not recognize it. However, a few times it would start installing and then say "disconnected" or something like that. One of those times that I "jiggled" the connector on the phone, it started installing the driver and I didn't touch it and it finished and worked. I disconnected and reconnected and nothing again... I got another refurb and no problems at all.
Well I'll try a few more times. Just glad the Thrill is almost out and I can enjoy that one for 10 months before something better comes along
Thanks for the help
This is kind of strange. I have a 32gb Touchpad and Win 7 32bit computer. Upon first use of the Touchpad, I followed the guide posted in the tweaks and tips section right away.
I updated to 3.0.2, turned off/down logging settings, installed Preware, installed all of the recommended patches, installed Uberkernal and Govnah, and OC'd to 1.5mhz.
I then went to load some media (songs, videos, ebooks etc.) onto the touchpad by connecting the usb cable to the Win 7 machine. The computer makes the found new hardware sound and the touchpad then asks if you want to put it into USB storage mode (which I did). The computer should then pop up with the window of the Touchpad drive and assign it a drive letter (just like any other usb mass storage device), but it doesn't. when I go into windows explorer, it shows a new drive letter has been added, but when I click on it to presumably see the contents of the Touchpad's drive, the computer does nothing. In fact, it even caused Windows Explorer to stop responding.
I almost positive this is a Novacom driver issue, but that doesn't make sence due to the fact that those drivers should (and were) loaded when installing Preware.
I am not sure how to resolve this. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be much appreciated. Regards, Dcartes-
I'm have a similar drive issue but it consist of the touchpad (I think), not recognizing when I disconnect the drive via the computer. This always results in that error message stating that I didn't safely remove it after I physically unplug it.

I'm not sure on the OP's question but as for the quoted response you need to go into my computer and right click the touchpads drive letter and then choose eject..
simply unplugging or using "safely remove hardware"will result in the error you are seeing
And if I connect TP via USB and then disconnect it w/o PC "eject" thing, then next time PC wont recognized TP in USB mode. And I have to restart TP to make it "recognizable" again
I go through all the normal, safe, and necessary steps but no matter what the tp always stays connected. I've even went so far as to shut my computer down completely with my tp still connected and it still stays in disk drive mode.

I've had to same problem--finally tracked it down to the original usb cable. Touchpad would still charge but was not recognized by the computer. Changed to the cable that came with my Samsung phone and everything works like a charm.

Thanks for the tip about the cable. I had the "Ouch That Hurt" message the other day after moving some pictures from my PC to the Touchpad and then ejecting the Touchpad. Ejection did not work. After the ejection process, the TP was no longer an option with either of the normal methods for ejection. So, my PC thought the TP had been ejected. But the TP did not think it had been. So, no option left but to turn off my PC or unplug the USB cable from the Touchpad to the PC.
However, I have noticed an issue with charging the Touchpad lately where I have to wiggle the cable where it connects to the Touchpad to get it to charge properly. Could be that this same flaky connection gave me a problem when trying to eject the TP after transferring the picture files? Though the pictures DID transfer properly. Will try a different cable next time. Hope I don't get a "wrong cable" message when doing that. Hate it when the TP does not eject properly as I fear I may be introducing file errors when that happens.

the only way to eject is from MyComputer > right click HPTP > eject.. or it will complain..not from the tray icon
ppl will bet that your prob is cable..
i went to national electronics store, they had phone section w/ many cables and phones plugged in..
i tried their cable to my HPTP and my cable to their phones...
cable was for sure bad.. they wanted 20$ for a 3' cable.. too much..
amzon wanted 4$ for set of 2 @ 10'..+ free s/h..
guess where i bought from..
Hi all!
I have a Nexus One running CM7.2.0 with Clockworkmod Recovery. My computer is running Windows 7.
I want to connect my phone to the computer in order to return it to it's factory state with an official shipping rom and stock recovery image.
However, I've run into a problem which I've been having for quite a while now; when I plug the phone into the computer via USB cable, it charges, but nothing happens on the computer, and nothing happens on the phone.
I've tried different USB cables, and different computers.
If I push the part that goes into the phone port to the right, the computer will make a noise as if to say that something is connected, but then it will be unable to install the correct drivers, and will say "USB Device not recognized" It comes up as an "Unspecified" device in Devices and Printers, and in "Unknown Device Properties" it tells me that "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)".
I have a feeling that the problem is the port on the phone, but I wanted to ask on here first to see what other people thought. Why is it that the phone charges correctly, but won't be recognized on the computer?
I might just add that this problem first started when I installed a device manager program that allowed me to see my texts and things when the phone was plugged into the computer. It was a while ago, and I think I remember (not entirely sure though!) not safely ejecting the phone before unplugging it, and then 2 minutes later when I went to plug it back in, this occurred. Whether this is related to the problem or not I do not know.
Also, I'll add that this problem has been occurring for quite a few months now, but it is only recently that I have noticed that when plugged into a wall charger, the phone charges much slower than it used to, and the charging light will go on and off every so often. This suggests port wear, but this started happening quite a while after the connection problems happened.
Anyway, thanks to all those who respond! I am keen to work out what is wrong.
Thanks,
Simon
Also I'll add that the SD card works perfectly fine in an SD card reader USB thing!

I'm not sure you properly read what I said..
My phone doesn't work on any computer I try it on. All other USB devices work fine on the computer I am currently using. This means that it is not simply a matter of following the steps you linked, because the problem is not related to a windows error.

Youshuold change usb cable or or rest the phone.but first of all buckup your data after that phone will stat newely so bug will be gone
