[SOLVED]Galaxy Tab doesn't display when connected to PC via mass storage

My Galaxy Tab when connected to PC via Samsung KIES runs fine... but when I connect it as Mass Storage, it doesn't show up in My Computer... I even tried re-flashing the TAB again to overcome kratos and the default stock rom... to no avail... need help...
To make things a bit clearer, here's the setup...
USB Debugging set to OFF / PC running Windows 7
USB Settings set to SAMSUNG KIES
PC detects the TAB as GT-P1000 and I can access the internal storage... though a tad bit slow when transferring data & stuff...
USB Settings set to MASS STORAGE
PC detects the TAB -> TAB displays USB Connected -> press CONNECT USB STORAGE
PC detects TAB as Android UMS Composite USB Device -> note without drive letter
After sometime, I've finally found the culprit... here's my solution:
#1 - Set USB Settings to MASS STORAGE -> Connect TAB -> PC detects TAB but doesn't show TAB as USB Device
#2 - run the program diskmgmt.msc via Windows Start Button->Run->diskmgmt.msc
#3 - Disk Management loads all detected hard drives & USB media... saw my TAB's icon without the drive letter... (it seems Win7 had a hard time assigning one, maybe because I've got lots of USB drives)
#4 - Right-click on the TAB's icon and on the context menu choose -> Change Drive Letter and Paths...
#5 - Simply assign a drive letter and voila! Your TAB's detected again as USB Mass Storage
When you try to use mass storage do you go into menu, settings, wireless and network, usb settings, and change it to mass storage?

yes... it was working fine the last time I've connected the TAB as usb mass storage... but after the next time... it was no longer displaying on my computer...
same here.. using kratos overcome ROM.. my laptop detects the said removable devices but when i double click on it, it says it needs to be formatted.. =/
I am not sure if this will work, but see if USB debugging is on. If so, turn it off.

That is fantastic, now I know how to fix this problem if it should ever arise for me, once I get my new laptop of course... my current pc is running xp so im not sure if this would be the same presedure to fix. Very nice explanation

[Q] how to enter mass storage mode with PC seamlessly?

Hey guys, been trying to figure out how to connect my phone to my pc without having to have kies installed on every computer I access using the usb cable. After struggling for a while I figured out the problem was because I had usb debugging mode activated, and once I unchecked it abracadabra! I was able to access my memory card just like any regular flash disk. The only problem am experiencing now is that, even though I have usb debugging unchecked, every time I connect the usb cable it automatically becomes checked again. meaning I have to go through the long process of going to settings> applications> development, to uncheck it again. Why is this happening?

Install these samsung drivers and you will be able to do so.

Dont quite get the problem.
When I plug in the USB cable to the phone and PC, the phone's task bar shows a small icon at the top. I pull down the task bar (or what ever it is called - it is pull down), touch the info about USB, and up comes a dialog box about enabling USB storage. I touch OK, and there is a warning about not being able to use apps on the USB. I touch OK again, and I am now connected to the PC.
First time or so, I was asked to turn off USB debugging, and never had to do it again.
Then maybe its an issue with my phone, originating from the factory, coz everytime I connect I am forced to go find the usb debugging option from way deep in settings coz nothing appears in the drop down task bar until I uncheck it. I am now getting paranoid considering the first time I bought it and took it home I found out that the standard micro sd card I was issued with did not work and had to go back to the store and get a replacement card. Maybe I should have opted for a different phone too. "cockroach theory"

Thanks for the drivers, but that was not the solution I was looking for exactly as that would mean I would have to install them on every computer I ever connect to, seeing as I prefer to double up my phone as a flash disk too coz its harder to loose and no pal would ever ask to use your phone to go borrow something (thats how flashdisks get lost) and I can also charge the phone when am copying new movies and songs, catch my drift.

If i recall correctly this also happened to me when i bought the phone. But after i installed samsung kies or the drivers it got ok. But as you say, if you use many computers its not pratical. I mainly use this one so no problem for me.

When you use your phone as a flash drive, you can expect to use it as a normal flash drive - simply plug it in, and the PC recognises a USB mass storage device. There ought to be no need for any drivers. Even on windows PCs.
But, you will have to unmount the SD card from within the phone.
If you need to disable USB debugging mode each time, try disabling USB debugging without the USB cables plugged in The phone ought to remember it. The menu option is, IIRC, settings > USB and media.
Things are slightly different in 2.2.2 froyo, 2.4.5, 2.4.6 and the current 7.1 CM custom kernel I am using. So, I cannot exactly remember the menu option. But, it is not a driver issue.
BTW, I installed the samsung USB drivers for Kies and ODIN from the phone on a newly installed OS, and was on stock 2.2.2 Froyo then so I am very sure that this is not a USB drivers issue.
My phone just updated to 2.3.6 and every time I plug the USB cable in, debugging mode automatically activates, even though I have unchecked it without USB cable plugged or after it was plugged. When I try to enter mass storage mode I get prompted that some apps might not work while in this mode. I tap OK and the phone tries to connect but after a while reverts back to debugging. That would not be a problem if I was at my home computer as running keys unlock the mass storage mode adn I can use Total commander to load what I want, but when at work, I do not have admin right so I can not install driver. Until yesterday I was on Froyo 2.2.1 and mass storage was no issue...

[Q] How to change USB connection mode?

How can i change USB connection mode for the Note? Everytime I connect the USB cable, Note always connect in MPT mode even with the MHL adapter. Help pleaseeeeeee
usb debugging
go to menu/settings/applications/development on phone then put a checked mark in the box for usb debugging. when you connect to your computer your phone will beep letting you know it has been connected to a usb source. use pull down screen touch the usb connected message and then touch the connect usb storage button. the little green guy turns orange and now your phone will show up on your computer as an extra drive. from here you can just drag and drop files to the phones directory just like a usb pen drive. i believe this is what you where asking about. hope it helps.
note: first time connecting your computer it will probably install a new device driver and also if you are using Kies you need to turn off debugging before Kies can see the phone.
First off, makes sure you install latest version of Samsung Kies, which includes USB driver for the Note.
Also there is setting to connect mass storage mode manually: Settings -> Wireless and network -> USB utilities. But it seems to be the same as just choosing to connect from the notification bar and wants you to disable debugging.

I am facing similar issue, Windows7-32 bit, when connect SGN via USB (MTP) for firmware upgrade but not sure about 'Kies Mode', few other people got firmware upgraded successfully so i think it's something else. see this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318734&page=59.
In the notifications bar at the top of your screen. You will see a usb symbol in that bar. 3) Use your finger and pull down the bar and then tap the usb symbol. There you will see the option to chang it from MTP mode to any other mode option it has.
I hope this helps.

Help me with Samsung Galaxy Mini II

Hello.
Short story: my phone was a little wet and i have some issues with it, mostly i want to get a mass storage to get working. (cant root)
Basically at first the phone didn't even want to charge, when i connected it to the PC windows was giving me an error that the device cannot be recognized, and couldn't install the drivers. (i had Kies installed)
I dried it completely, now the phone turns on without any problem, when i connect it to the pc the phone is recognizing connection (i hear sound + the button backlights are firing up for a sec)
Homever, windows is not detecting any USB device at all, and in about phone/info it says the phone is connected to the AC instead of USB.
When i connect it with USB there is no dropdown in notification to choose from charging, storage etc.
There is also manual usb storage mounting under settings/communication/usb settings , when i'm trying to mount here it just says to connect the phone with usb cable (not detecting connection, homever the backlight + sound is here after connecting, and it's charging)
I tried connecting it with usb debugging on/off even tried to fiddle with in service menu (*#7284#) but nothing.
And since i cannot get the usb storage working basically i cannot flash anything or root it.
Also the USB cable is not a Samsung but an HTC one, could this be a problem? (people in different thread said those cables are the same so it shouldnt be a problem, same amperage, same stick etc.)
Even tried to install MountUSB Widget from market, but it doesn't work when im trying to start the app it's force closing, when i make widget on desktop and press it the phone just vibrate for 1 sec and nothing happens.
When i connect phone with Kies AIR and it works, i mean it shows the storage information, also recognize the phone model correctly, how much free space i have on internal and on SD card but i cannot click "show in explorer" it's greyed out.
Any experts out there could help me?
