USB Mass Storage Problem. Plz help - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Suddenly this error has started to appear no matter on whichever system I connect. It was working fine the other night and I have always used this method for backup on my system.
Whenever I am trying to connect my Note to PC (for USB Mass Storage) I am getting an error "USB is connected. Remove the cable". I tried formatting USB storage, clear dalvik cache, wipe cache, factory reset, nandroid restore, enable / disable USB debugging, unmount SD, PC kies update, battery removal ... jut about everything but the error always persists.
On the other hand on all windows system (XP, Win7) it displays error "USB not recognized. One of the device malfunctioned". I tried reinstalling drivers, updates Kies but it is still the same.
Request all to kindly help. Thanks in advance.
PS: I am on GB 2.3.6 DDLB2 root+CWM

Ok here is the solution. It worked for me. Hope it helps someone
1. Unplug the USB cable
2. On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284#
Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode. (Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.)
3. Plug the USB cable.

This did not work out for me. When I dialled, I got "Connection Problem or invalid MMI code".
Can you please help?
My OS version: ICS 4.0.4 Stock rom from Samsung. Phone is not rooted.
I am directly connecting to my Laptop (and not to USB hub) which is running Windows 7 Home premium.

[Q] Impossible to connect USB - ''Not of USB charging. Dont launch MTP APP''

New phone, it's not an I9000, it's a Samsung Galaxy 3 (I5800), if this is the wrong forum, my apologies.
First days everything went fine, even with Kies in 2 PCs.
Things start going really wrong this morning when I connected the phone to the laptop, mass storage option selected, dragged notifier, unmount sdcard option was available.
Checked the laptop and I had no sdcard drive in explorer.
Updated Kies, tried the usb drivers available in this forum, nothing worked.
Backup of sdcard through an sdcard reader, format sdcard, and the end result is the same. Meanwhile during the morning, the notifier disappeared, I had no option to unmount the sdcard anymore. When I connect the usb cable to the pc, pc says "Hi", phone says "Bye" (both do a sound) and nothing happens.
Resuming, phone is rooted, XP on the laptop, Win7 on the PC, updated Kies, updated drivers, tried USB Debugging, keep-alive option, all usb options available beside mass-storage, changed back to TWLauncher, same result: Nothing.
When connecting the phone to a different usb port, windows installs 2 modem drivers and a Samsung USB Composite Device.
Part of the logfiles say:
E/MTPRx ( 9735): In MtpReceiverandroid.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED
E/MTPRX ( 9735): Battery charging. plugType = 1
E/MTPRx ( 9735): Not of USB charging. Dont lauch MTP APP
E/Setting ( 9810): Intent Action android.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED
E/Setting ( 9810): Battery charging. plugType = 1
E/Setting ( 9810): AC charge
I'm sending the log in attach in case someone wants to have a look.
And now the questions:
- I still have 2 more days to replace the phone for a new one, do you think this is an hardware problem? Usb Cable?
- I will not be able to upgrade the firmware without a working usb connection correct ? Or is it possible to put the firmware file on the sdcard and upgrade it from there?
Thanks for the help.
Update:
- It's not the cable, I just tried to connect it with another cable I had around here (from my old Nokia xpress)
This is stupid... solved it with a hard reset/factory defaults + sdcard format :-/

[Q] USB Debugging/Mass Storage Mode connection to computer issue

Hello folks,
I'm facing this "please insert a disk" issue when connecting my Note to computer via USB Debugging mode / Mass Storage Mode.
I'll let screenshots in the attachment explain itself. #1 shows the screenshot of devices menu when the phone is plugged into the computer in DEBUG mode; #2 shows the screen after I've clicked "connect USB storage" from the drop-down list of the phone; #3 shows what happens when I try to open one of the two "removable disks".
MTP mode works fine, as well as Kies connection. As I finally started exploring the potential of Android platform, I realized that MTP and Kies connection are the most useless connection options for me, and I'd rather leave it in debug mode all day. So has anybody experienced this issue, or had any suggestion on the solution?
As always, many thanks in advance, and many thanks button clicks afterward!
p.s.,
Desktop OS: Win7 Pro X64 SP1
Note: 2.3.6 Stock LB1 Open Germany Firmware, CF rooted LB1 kernel.
Also, I should have all the latest official device driver from Samsung, as I have the latest version of Kies installed (and I discovered a driver folder under Kies' installed location). I'm not so sure about adb driver, but I was able to find the Note to be listed under devices by typing "adb devices". So.. I don't know where could've gone wrong.
Help anyone?
This really sounds weird... I was facing problems of the Galaxy Note not being detected on several Windows7 32/64-Bit SP1 computers as well but this was gone after I installed SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.
You are right - from all that i know all required drivers should be available when KIES is installed on your system. Whatis even more strange is that your device seems to be detected as two partitions are available and are displayed in Explorer...
So I would test the following:
- check if your device manager lists any unknown devices
- Uninstall KIES and try to find the SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones and install those
- check all available USB ports and see if this solves the problem
- try another USB cable
- make sure your (external) SD card is formatted with a Windows compatible file-system e.g. FAT32
Hope this is helpful and helps solving your problem.
Thanks for your reply!
My device manager basically listed all the drivers/devices associated with the phone:
My Device manager shows devices:
Samsung Android Composite ADB interface
Android UMS Composite USB device (x2)
SAMSUNG Android USB Modem
USB Mass Storage Device
USB Mass Storage Device (Android)
I've attached the screenshot when all the drivers being installed when the phone is firstly connected to the computer. Also in the device manager, everything shows "this device is working properly"
I then decided to test with another Note of my friend's (On the same computer). Her Note has no SD card in it, and is completely stock ROM non-rooted LA4 Open Germany firmware. The same thing happened.
One thing worth mentioning: Yesterday, this worked only for once. When I initially encountered this issue, I restarted my computer, and boom, my phone was connected in Debugging mode! However, once disconnected, and I tried to connect it to the computer again, this issue came back. And afterward, no matter how I restart my computer, the phone won't get connected.
I also tried all USB port (USB 2.0 and 3.0), three different cables (2 of them are Samsung OEMs) and failed to address the issue.
I'm nearly exhausted but I will never give up, as this is my only computer and my only phone (haha), and without solving this issue, I'm never gonna be able to view the phone as a USB storage and easily transfer the file from my computer to the phone.
I'm going to try the last thing that I haven't done from the list you posted:
- Uninstall KIES and try to find the SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones and install those
I believe that I can keep the driver folder in the Kies' folder, as I believe those are the newest Samsung driver, given that the Kies was the latest release version.
So far, I can only conclude that this issue is not related to specific phone but the Windows 7.
And thank you for your help btotaku!
If anyone has any insight into this issue, please help me. Thumbs up for you!
BTW, I was able to extract both SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe from under Kies' installation path under Program Files x86 folder, and an uncompressed folder of all kinds of drivers for Samsung device, called "USB Drivers".
And looks like I was wrong. The newest version of SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones I had was 1.4.8. While the driver that came with the newest Kies was 1.4.103
I'll post back soon
Reinstal Windows on your PC bro.
Problem fixed.
is that your internal memory or the sd card?
Same thing happens either with SD card in the phone or not

[Q] Connection problems via USB

That's me again
Ok, when I finally decided to upgrade my Tab thank to your help I discovered that the connection via the USB is not working at all !
I have Kies and obviously the drivers are installed.
When I connect the Tab to the PC i get the 3 options for choice:
1- Samsung Kies
2- Media player
3- Mass storage
When I choose the Kies option the Kies can't recognize and connect the Tab even after the troubleshooting process.
When I choose the mass storage and after the mount also nothing happen and there is no new drives in My Computer.
I tried to connect the Tab to PC with no drivers for Samsung at all and
strangely, the same effect.
There was no notification about new hardware connected to the PC and the question about installing drivers for that new discovered hardware ?!
I suspect that is some thing wrong with the cable although I can charge the Tab and some kind of recognition is established between the PC and the Tab.
Do you use any usb hubs or extentions? If yes.. don't use it. You have to connect your tab directly to the usb port on your pc with the original cable..
If you want go to connect as usb storage, you have to change the usb connectivity on your tab:
system settings > wireless and networks > USB > Connect to PC
If you want ODIN to recognize ur tab, you need to turn on the USB debugging mode:
System settings > applications > development > Check USB Debugging.
For kies, well.. it's always a little unreliable.
The USB cable is connected to the USB port on the mother board
The debugging option is checked
When I run Odin, the ID:COM window is empty.
That's means NO CONNECTION
OK, I solved the problem with new original USB cable

[Q]Does not show GT-N7000 when connected to pc

hi, when Rocket Rom 7 (ics) came out, i installed it. after doing this, when i connected my phone to the pc, the system detects the phone as Samsung_android and shows 2 removable drives in the system. however, if you click on them they dont work
it no longer detects my phone as GT-N7000
what i have noticed: when i connect the usb cable, the phone doesnt show "MTP connection" anymore... instead, it shows USB connected.
what has been done:
flashed rocket rom 10, nogo
reinstalled kies: nogo
reinstalled win7 (yes i actually did that even tho testing on other pcs showed the same issue)
the phone still charges and the only way i can connect my phone to d pc to view files is by clicking "usb storage"
any advice on this?
Uninstall kies, and just install driver (find latest from toolbox on my signature)
use different USB port, and dont use any extensor cable to connect device.

hi bro... didnt work... i dont think its the driver... its the phone... coz i tested another note, its working fine
My Galaxy Tab has similar issues. I believe it would be due to the architechture of the ROM forcing you to have to mount your device to your computer before being able to load the Device Internal SD, and the External SD.
Click USB Storage when it shows, this should pop up a window which has a Lil android dude, and USB Storage Message with a button stating 'Turn on USB Storage'. After clicking it, you can click 'Turn Off USB Storage' to unmount the device.
thanx for that.. hehe.. i stumbled across it the other day.. at least i can transfer files... but just dont like the fact its not showing...

[Q] not getting detected by any PC via USB

My S Advance I-9070 recently got formatted. I was able to recover my installed Apps, photos, music via gmail account. However Contacts which were on the phone, couldn't get restored. Since i have a contacts.spb recent copy, on my PC, tried to connect S Advance to this PC and it is not getting detected as additional device. The Samsung Kies software also doesn't recoganize the phone. Except that the phone battery gets charged when connected. I tried different cables and PCs, and took to a service center, this phone didn't get recognised. I have backed up all data to SD card on the phone. Is this a new issue with S Advance ?
Please help.

Try to turn USB debbuging on, and see if something shows up in Windows explorer.
If you are on JB: Settings> Developer Options> USB Debugging

Try this one
This is when your Samsung not popup usb notifier at phone upper menu bar.
Resolution
1. Unplug the USB cable
2. On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284#
Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode.
The good mode should be PDA. Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.
3. Plug the USB cable.
Try settings-more settings under wireless and network. There are 2 to try. Usb utilities if that does not work. Try turning kies on or off on the phone. No idea why but kies on the phone does it on both computers I use with my 9070. Drivers can be a real pain for this too. When i upgraded to LQG I had to update the drivers too, but that could be my computer too.
