I tried plugging my phone to a usb port on my computer using my usb cable/charger on my computer and on my phone, it gives me the option to mount it as a disc drive. I press yes to that, and the computer tries to install the driver software but keeps failing. I think this happened recently since i don't recall it trying to install the driver software for it. It works for other phones with their charger/usb cables just not for mine. It could possibly be my usb cable/charger but i don't think so. It its good condition. So what driver software, if that's an issue, would i need for it to work? Otherwise, i tried switching usb ports and updating them via device manager, so i don't know what else i could try.
What rom are you running? What os?
You probably need the Google USB_drivers that get installed with the sdk. If you search for "stand alone Google USB_driver" you can install it without the sdk.

You also should try mounting through your recovery. If that doesn't work then you may have a bigger issue.

Im using dReW's Ginger Faux ICS Rom ( the first rom in my sig.) My os is Android 2.3.7. I searched what you suggested but im not sure if this is it. Please let me know if it is or isn't.

It used to work and now it doesn't? Did you recently install any updates to windows, new hardware, av software or firewall?
have you tried a system restore?

I am having a problem to get my Tab i800 identified by Heimdall. My tab is stock and I might have messed up kernel so I dont have service bars at all. it is always in airplane mode. When I try to use Heimdall it says "failed to detect compatible device". I looked all around and even posted my problem in some threads but did not get any result. My final goal is to get to CM9.
I wanted to post my problem in general forum but I did not wan to break rules of the forum. Please help, any assistance is appreciated.
Update: My Tab now shoeing a phone connecting to a pc. I was having problems with drivers. Now I have ubuntu and do not know what to do next.

I was thinking the same thing about drivers but before i was able to resolve any software problems. This tab is pain in the rear. I owned fascinate and charge both were piece of cake to root or flash. Currently i have razr. Even with the locked bootloader it is easier to deal with than this tab.

I used odin and it screwed up the kernel. It was clearly my fault but I can fix it. All the guides/zips are made for heimdall.
Because i am tired of researching. I looked all trough internet. Other forums, google and even searched here with sucky search option that xda has. With No results.

Install Kies (it installs needed drivers)
Make sure kies is not running then use overcome guide to re-stock/partition device (install safe-stock rom then overcome kernel/rom)
Put desired ICS based rom on sd, use recovery to wipe data/cache, flash.

I have verizon galaxy tab. Now I have a phone connecting to a pc sign with an exclamation mark in the triangle. Great, I think I accidentally disconnected the cable while it was flashing trough Odin.
The good news is Odin still sees the tab. I am not sure about Heimdall though.

My problem is heimdall. My pc is getting drivers for the tab for Haimdall to work. I tried pretty much everything with no luck. Since I had lots of experience with Odin. I am comfortable flashing trough Odin. But all the guides that I found recently is for Heimdall for some reason. I will try to use Heimdall on different pc(same win7 64bit) to see if that works. If not I need to find a way to flash it trough Odin.
you should really try to put ubuntu on usb stick.
Just download the iso of the latest and get unetbootin (free apps for windows too).
Use it to create USB stick, and it has option to leave spare space on the USB disk to allow for changes to be written on.
Boot it up and install heimdall.
Recently bought an iMac and sold my defunked laptop. Never really gave any thought about having issues with Odin or Kies however I am now looling to flash 4.0.4 from 4.0.3.
Problems encountered are Kies not connecting to phone and Odin being for Windows PC (currently dont have windows installed on bootcamp).
Anyone have any sugestions?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Try with hiemdall
Odin can only be used with windows,heimdall is the cross platform program
But google about it before using
Got it downloaded but not had time to really do anything yet. Was really hoping that someone would have an answer the make Kies work as that would be easier for doing my fiances S2 as well.

As a mac user, my experience has been to not even attempt flashing of roms directly from within OS X. I typically use another windows machine or use Parallels desktop and run Windows from that. Bottcamp is an option as well. If you decide on a rom like CM9,good news is that once you have done the initial flashing of a safe kernel via PC Odin in Windows, you can do all subsequent updates via CWM.
If you are concerned about ongoing syncing of media, there are workarounds for getting Kies to work in Mountain Lion or use other apps such as iSync to sync with itunes.
Good luck.

I'm just saying that someone posted a link to KIES for Mac but the OP asks about flashing ROMs from OSX 10.8.1. You can use KIES to copy the ROM to the SDCard (external) if you mount the Note as a drive on the Mac using USB mode. BUT, if KIES isn't already no the Mac and you're running 10.8.x, then Samsung's installer refuses to install KIES for Mac (incorrectly, I might add, because I had KIES already installed and then upgraded to 10.8 from 10.7.x and KIES still worked).
As an alternative, you can use KIES WIFI (launch from the Note) and then connect to it from your Mac. Use that to copy the ROM (tar file) to the SDCard and flash with Mobile ODIN (downloadable from Google Play; I purchased the full version but I believe the free version will also accomplish this much).
Hey guys. Cheers again to all posts. I resulted to digging out my old and dusty laptop and after a few hours updating it i managed to get kies onto it and run the update through it.

When I try to flash from a backup, it fails flashing system and renders my phone a brick until I reinstall the above ROM
I've also tried going into download mode so I can use the official LG updater to flash it back completely stock. However I can't seem to get that working.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

First you are posting in the wrong section.
Second, what baseband do you have installed. I am running on a Froyo baseband and can't run thrillseeker due to the baseband requiring the GB baseband. You can probably return to stock by using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491870
From what I am reading, the LG Updater sometimes will fail but you just have to continue using it.
Good luck with your issue. I am planning to do the same to my nephews phone later today. If i can figure something out I will post back.
I think its V20P which is Gingerbread. I know when I last updated it I used the official updating tool and grabbed it from their server. But again I'm on Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread. Will those update.zip files work?

First thing uninstall LG PC drivers then reboot PC and reinstall them. Or try to connect to a different PC to make sure it is not PC related. If that doesn't work then try wiping caches and instsall a different kernel. If that doesn't work I would then try full data wipe and reinstall rom of choice. You might try different rom as once its fixed you can always flash back...hope this helps you.

Well I believe I've figured out what the problem was.
You see the other day while I was charging the phone I accidentally knocked it off. The USB cable got caught on my alarm clock and caught the phone, so the phone was hanging by the USB cable.
Well today I looked at the connector on it and I noticed it was bent a little. So I bent it back up and heard a small *click*
I was afraid I had broke it completely inside. However when I plugged it in my computer recognized my phone and USB mode showed up.
My device:
Android 2.2
P1000xxjma
Froyo.xwjmi
I can't connect my device to a computer. I have tried with Kies installed and also installed a driverpack I found. The computer just says it can't recognize the device. I am using a usb cable from a galaxy tab 10.1 but that can be the problem, or can it?
I have rooted the device and app root checker says it's rooted correctly. And my problem is that I can't get cwm recovery into it. I have a new rom from cm on SD card but can't flash it because of cwm isn't installed. I need the computer to find the device to be able to get cwm into it with Odin.
Can someone please help me with this problem? Thankful for any help or suggestions. Excuse if my English as misspellings.
Regards
Christian
Yes, likely you need original cable.
And since you are rooted, check if you have protected bootloader.

I have unlock the bootloader successfully.
Is there any other way to get cwm into the device other than using Odin, or can it be done without cwm? I have a 4.3 cm rom and googleapp pack on sdcard.

You can use heimdall. But you still need the correct cable.

Okey, so either way I need the correct cable then.

There's a chance he might've wiped off the recovery partition if he used a disk.
To OP, borrow a friend's PC and burn the ISO onto a disk/bootable USB drive. There's no other way of doing it.
