Hi everyone,
I have an AT&T Captivate SGH-i897 (2nd hand) and i can't mount the phone to my laptop (winXP 32bit). When i plug in the cable to the phone and then the PC i get the "device not recognized".I've donwloaded the Samsung drivers from the xda wiki page and extracted them and tried to update the driveres via Device Mng ,but didn't work.Also dl'ed the Samsung drivers 5.0.x instaled ,and still nothing.USB Debugging is on...
So to recap,my top can't recognize the phone('s internal sd card) so plz help ???????
Try this, go into usb settings and choose "mass storage"

I would also recommend trying to fully uninstall all the drivers that associated on your pc with your phone (samsung or otherwise), and then reinstall the drivers before you plug in your phone. Then try to reconnect.
Just covering the basics. Assuming your phone is working correctly.
You have tried multiple USB ports on your computer, particularly those on the back if it's a desktop.
You have installed correct drivers (x86 or x64)
" for the correct operating system.
You have uninstalled the drivers before trying to reinstall.
You've tried to get Windows/ Mac to find them online (assuming you're using versions of OS that support doing that)
You've first tried Kies mini before full version, uninstalling in between. (Kies full version isn't supported for US, there are workarounds, but that's a different discussion)
On the phone you tell the phone to connect 'USB storage' (from the pull down menu after connected or in the settings)
I too am having problems with USB connectivity on a notebook with Win7/64. The usual failure mode is Windows not recognizing the USB device. I have followed ZBigT's basics, step by step and still cannot connect.
FWIW, my registry is awash with Samsung entries, some of which cannot be deleted.
I've even tried the AIO Toolbox application (to install the 64 bit drivers) to no avail.
Any other tips?
Is usb debugging turned off?

Yes. Still no love. Have tried:
usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64
SGH-i897_Captivate_USB_Drivers_5_02_0_2
mini-KIES
Kies
AIO
uninstalling reinstalling each time
When I plug in the Captivate, any of 3 USB ports on the laptop, Windows gives the "Unrecognized Device..." message.
Go to settings/about phone. Look at the very bottom to see what rom you are running.

FWIW, I also have a Win7/64 desktop with the usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64 installed and that works fine; can connect see "drives", use ODIN, adb commands etc.
It just the notebook, which I would like to be able to use to connect, especially when I travel, which has issues.

Check in program files for a Samsung folder. There may be remnants from old drivers that need to be manually deleted.

Thanks for sticking with this. I was able to connect. I as focused on the Registry remnants, but your advice to clear out the Samsung folder in Programs worked. Thank you.
Additional comments: I am now running the Dlev ROM, it's OK, but when I plugged in the USB cable, just to the phone, it launched the Alarm Clock app! So I deleted that.
Then on the first of my four USB ports I got a USB driver failure to install, then the Windows Unrecognized USB device on ports 2 & 3. On port 4 it worked. (This is a Lennovo/Thinkpad notebook.)
I used the usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64 package as that also worked on my desktop.
Thank you very much.
Hey, everyone, I tried posting about this in the CM7 general discussion thread, but no one seemed apt to respond.
I think this was a problem that popped up in the 60s or 70s in terms of nightlies, but I'm having it again now since around the 155 mark.
I'm on 160 and when I plug my NC into the USB cable, I no longer get any options to connect for file transfers in the notification area. If anyone could help me out with this, I'd really appreciate it. It's just so perplexing and no one seems be having this issue except me. If it's user-side error, that's fine as well, I'd just like to know how to fix it.
1. When you plugged the NC in, did the PC recognize any "removable" drive?
2. In the notification area, did you see any other indication?
3. You run CM7 off uSD or eMMC?

1. No, nothing comes up.
2. The notification area remains blank.
3. I'm running it off eMMC.
Thanks for taking the time, by the way!
If so, unplug the usb cable then replug in a few times and see what happens.
If still nothing, try to use other usb cable.
Oh, btw, have you had Nookcolotweaks app installed?
I do have Nook Tweaks installed, yes. I'm using the cable that came with the Nook, but I'm not sure I have any other cables around.
Do make sure you check OFF the USB Host feature (reboot and reconnect)
I gave that a try, too, but still nothing. So confusing!
Don't be so hard on yourself.
Let try it on different computer if you have.
Also try difference usb cable.
Last, if nothing works, update latest nightly build
When you disconnect and reconnect the nook in testing/trying to get it recognized... unplug usb cable from computer... its made a difference at times.
I know this sounds basic but in applications-settings ensure you have usb debugging checked. Sometimes when flashing different nightlies, settings change.

Thanks again for all the help, everyone! I made sure USB debugging was checked and tried unplugging/replugging the cable, but there's still no notification coming up.
A new development:
I tried connecting it to my Windows PC instead of my Linux and it brought up this message that said it didn't recognize the device. I also tried to get ADB to see it and it can't. Does this information help or am I in trouble here?
Next time, do clearly indicate that you are using Linux or Windows. I'm sure many members here are Linux but still far less support than Windows world.
When I provided those suggestions in previous posts, I meant in Windows.
Anyway, back to your issue.
1. "it didn't recognize the device" because of missing adb usb driver. You need to get it installed first in order to use ADB, however it has nothing to do with your usb mass storage function. For now, you don't need to worry about it just yet.
2. Back to my question before, have you seen any "removable" on the PC (Windows)
Along with USB Host uncheck, if still having problem, I would suggest you either downgrade to the earlier versions or wait until tomorrow and update with another nightly build.
Good luck
I have the ADB drivers installed in Windows, as far as I know. I've used it before.
I typed "adb devices" into the prompt and it doesn't see the NC at all. Since one of the nightlies seems to be what prompted this sudden change in connectivity, I guess I'll just hope that one of the new ones can fix it. Thanks again.
Also, Windows doesn't show anything "removable" except for my external HD.
Try to disable usb debugging as you can still use ADB over wifi. This should always put the device to usb storage mode when connected.

I tried this out and even ADB wireless can't connect to my device. I even re-installed the ADB drivers in Windows to be sure the problem wasn't on that end.

If you're using ADB wireless, no need to install any driver on Windows PC, you just need 2 files: adb.exe and AdbWinApi.dll, to connect to Android device.
If you've installed ADB drivers, you might want to remove it as this might mess up usb storage.

Alrighty. I have those two. I've connected my NC to ADB both wirelessly and and with the cable in the past, so this should all be straightforward anyhow. It just plain refuses to cooperate.
Go to the Marketplace and download "Nook Color UMS" app. Follow instructions and it will mount properly. I had the same issue used it and it mounts proper through the app.
so, stupid question time.
i've used ADB in the past and its worked great so not sure whats going on this time around.
I get the following errors when trying to start adb:
"daemon still not runningerror: cannot connect to daemon"
I have installed moto drivers for droid 3 (32bit), im on win7 32bit. I have my phone on dev mode, and charge only. I have run CMD with admin rights. and still ADB wont turn on.
I have also tried using the new one click method:
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=3714&p=75934
anyone have some direction? I did kill adb from my running processes (all instances) and tried all over, no go, same error.
help?
Did you put the phone is PC Mode as opposed to USB Mass Storage?
its supposed to be done in Charing only mode, the issue isn't on my phone setup, it got to do with my darn computer, I can even do an adb devices command... may have to remove the sdk completely and start over.
Put in charge only, use one click method

did you change directory in cmd to the folder that adb is in?
...I had to change to the folder like this cd\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
The one-click root method is bundled with adb.exe. Except for the driver and a USB cable, it contains everything needed to root.

Hello,
I've bought a used Galaxy Samsung GT-P1000 running Froyo.JPJM5, Firmware 2.2, and Kernal 2.6.32.9, 27.7GB internal memory.
My problem is that I can't get the PC to identify the tablet using the USB cable.
What I do and what happens when I plug in the tablet~
(USB Debugging on)
I connect the USB cable into the PC first. I plug the cable into the tablet. A 'USB is connected' notification shows up. I open it, and click mount.
I look at my computer's monitor and there's absolutely nothing showing that it EITHER identified or not! It doesn't even show a popup.
So I went to my Disk Management to check if it was hidden or something. There's nothing. It just shows my regular hard disks and that's it. No mounted anything. I even looked into my Device Manager and all seems working.
(USB Debugging off)
Nothing happens in either the PC or Tablet.
Things I've tried-
1) Enable USB Debugging.
- Plugging in the tablet, restart computer, and then enable USB Debugging while connected.
- Disable USB Debugging, restart computer w/ tablet connected.
- Plug tablet into PC, and then restart tablet. (with USB debugging and not)
2) Get KIES.
3) Uninstall KIES and only download the USB_drivers.exe thing that comes with KIES.
4) Uninstall everything (including drivers) and getting Android SDK + update everything (about 370mb).
5) Install Ubuntu and trying to get it identified + downloaded Android SDK package and updated everything. (also did lsusb- it doesn't see the tablet)
6) Tried each and every USB port in my PC. (10 ports). [Note: My other Android phone works in any of them)
7) Tried my bro's and sis' comp (win7 32bit)
8) Tried my dad's laptop (win7 64bit)
9) I unplugged tablet, placed the memory card(2GB) of my Android phone into it. Plugged it in my computer and yet it doesn't want to see it.
10) I went to a shop because I thought the USB cable is broken or the port hub is broken. The guy took it and plugged it on his PC using my own cable. He identified the problem and said "It needs its software to be updated". I asked how much, and he said $15. **** that ****. If he can do it, I can do it.
Conclusions up until now:
Tablet knows that its getting hooked up by the computer yet it doesn't send any information to the PC letting it know that it's a mounted drive.
USB Cable is fine.
Port hub is fine since it can detect the USB cable on *usb debugging* mode and I can charge the tablet with the USB cable plugged into the charger.
---------------------------------------------
Note: I tried to root it using z4root which doesn't require a USB connection. It doesn't work. It would work and work until the application crashes and I can't re open it as it always crashes after the first try. I tried using the temporary root option and it would load forever. All in all, doesn't work.
Note2: I attached 2 screenshots. One for my Disk Management window showing my partitions while the tablet is connected (and I pressed Mount on tablet). Second, is for my Device Manager window showing that there no unidentified devices and that the USB devices don't show any Android connected, yet on tablet it says it's mounted.
Thanks.
I don't know too much about how to fix windows.
But when you are using ubuntu,
did you put in this line to your /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"
btw, the 51-blabla filename can be 51-xxxxxanything
once done
sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart
plug in your tab to USB port
then if you have your Android SDK, you should have adb?
do
adb devices
does it show your tab?

I did what you just said. There's nothing. :|
Hmm..
Out of idea.
If it isn't recognizing the sd card you could try another one. Format it in the tablet, plug it into the computer, put the update on the sd card and update that way and see if it gets recognized that way.

What do you mean by 'put the update on the sd card'. What update?
Anyways, what I tried is that I used another SD Card (128MB), placed it in, formatted it in the tablet, and plugged it into the computer. Nothing happened on the PC. :|
'adb devices' doesn't show any devices connected either.
(I wanted to confirm that 'adb devices' is indeed working so I tried plugging my Android phone (ST-GT602) and ran adb devices- it showed it. But not the tablet.)
Is there anything other than z4root to root a phone without a USB connection? Or is there anything that might trigger the tablet to let the PC identify it? For example, is there anything that I can place on the SD Card (through another connection.. using my phone for example), then plug it into the tablet, then run that application?
I don't care if it's for rooting or not. Perhaps it would help.
Why don't you spend that $15 at the shop?
Very curious why it works for him.

You might find the Android update online (ICS to GB) or something like that and try to flash a signed update but if your computer doesn't recognize an Android formatted sd card I'm not sure how you would get the card formatted and then get the information to the card. You might search for the update on your tablet, download it and flash it using stock recovery. Maybe getting it updated might work but I have no idea why an out of date tablet won't show up
Also you could try searching online for modified drivers for the device.
Par that I have no idea. Might have to go back and pay the 15 but I would ask the repair guy if you could watch step by step what he is doing.
Hope the best for you.

First of all, i have tried to solve this problem for hours and so far i don't have found anything that could help me.
So my screen is broken, completetely black, and i would like to save some files from my galaxy S(files are NOT on external SD card). Connecting phone to computer doesnt help because i should turn mass media mode on, and thats kind of hard when the touch screen is not working. Kies recognizes my phone(tries to connect), but can't connect because i should turn some other mode on? I have read that it could be possible to save files with ADB and i even tried but i didnt find any suitable instructions. So could anybody tell me how to save my holiday pictures :crying:

Hi,
I have a solution for you
No need to turn on mass storage.
What you need:
USB cable
Working pc
Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
USB Driver http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
1. Download and install this tool: http://de.codeplex.com/releases/view/107423
2. Boot your phone into recovery (worked for me) ( volume up+home+power)
3. Connect your usb cable
4. Start Droid Explorer and search for your sd card

Thank you for your answer. I think i can't get my phone into recevory mode. At least Droid explorer doesn't find it. When i try to boot it into recovery, my computer makes that "connected sound" several times, so i think the phone really is broken... Also, when the phone is connected to computer with usb cable, and i put the battery into the phone, i can hear that connected sound immediately, so i guess the phone automatically boots on? Well i keep trying but i think it is not possible to boot this phone into recovery mode

What you need therefore is a (rooted) phone and USB debugging must be enabled - at least I never tried withouit thos options turned on. Since you don't need to do sthg with su I think technically you can go without root as well, but did never run it without so not sure on that. Hope you had USB debugging active before your screen broke...
Install the adb tools on your pc if you haven't already. (google is your friend )
What you want to do now is connect your phone to the PC, open up a terminal session (within windows e.g. execute -> cmd ) and then fire up those commands:
Code:
adb
lot of stuff, ignore - if it doesn't work: google installing drivers and the adb tools
Code:
adb devices
here your phone should be listed if it is in debugging mode.
then just
Code:
adb pull [pathToYourHolidaypics] [pathToSaveOnHarddisk]
so for example:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/DCIM Holidaypics
and you photos should be rescued. Good luck!

Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately, this method doesn't find my phone either.. I think that USB debugging mode was on but can't say for sure. Maybe my Samsung is just completely broken. I guess we are out of ways to recover files . Thank you for your help and of course feel free to post anything if anybody have any idea.
