[Q] USB de bugging mode problem.

Have a small problem created out of thin air. When I connect the phone to the computer with USB debugging mode it says "There might be problems with some files on this device or disc. It can happen if you remove the device or disc before all files have been transferred to the device or disc. Scan and fix(recommended) This will prevent future problems when copying files to this device or disc" and "Continue without scanning". Choosing either seems to make no difference."
Then when I do a search/scan for problems it says "there is nothing wrong to the device. its now ready for use". And then i can enter the sd card. I get this error message everytime i plug in the phone from the bugging mode. But if i connect it with "kies" mode is says nothing and the disc shows on the C drive. I am afraid that this will create problems if i want to transer something important by USB debugging in the future such new ROM or flash something else from the download mode....someone recognizes this problem? (computer Windows 7 64 bit)

As I know, the Kies connection does only work, if usb debugging is off.
Which kernel and rom are you using?

[Q] Captivate USB problems

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"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

install kies

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.

[Q] Computer not recognizing Tab in Download mode

Hey guys,
For some reason, my Windows 7 32bit laptop is not recognizing the Galaxy tab at all when in download mode. I have installed kies (which incidentally also doesn't recognize the tab), and installed the individual drivers, but cannot get my computer to even see the Tab.
When the Tab is in normal mode (debugging turned off), I can mount the Tab as a drive and it has no problems.
Has anybody else run into this issue? The Tab is not showing up in the device manager at all. I do have root, and my end desire is to connect with Heimdall, and continue to get the error message "Failed to detect compatible device."
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Seth

Download and install drivers for your tab. Samsung website should have them, if not they shouldn't be too hard to find.

drivers
Hi,
Already tried that. Kies doesn't recognize the device at all (with USB debugging active and not active both), and the Device Manager doesn't show anything either. When I plug the tab in, it recognizes that it is connected, but mounting the SD card as a drive doesn't do anything either.
The worst part about it is that I'm not sure that I can even revert to stock without being able to get Heimdall working. I've searched a ton, and it seems to be the key to just about everything. Any other ideas?
Seth

have you tried to install the drivers that come with Heimdall? I've had to force install those a couple times to get my Tab recognized in download mode.

Heimdall drivers
pvtjoker42,
Can you explain a little about what you mean? I am running Heimdall 1.1.1 have done the following:
1. Browse from the main folder to the "Drivers" folder and run zadig as an Administrator.
2. Click on "Options" and select "List all devices"
3. Click on the dropdown menu and search for anything that might be related to Samsung Galaxy Tab or Android of which there are none.
Is there a different way to force the install of the Heimdall drivers that I'm unaware of?
Thanks for your help,
Seth

when you drop down the list of devices what all is listed? I've had it show up as just a serial device before, with no mention of samsung/tab/galaxy etc..

Devices
Cisco VT Camera II (Interface 0)
Cisco Microphone (VT Camera II) (Interface 2)
USB Receiver (Interface 0)
USB Receiver (Interface 1)
USB-Serial Controller D
Fingerprint Sensor
Optical Drive Controller
TOSHIBA Web Camera (Interface 0)
USB Multimedia Audio Device (Interface 0)
USB Multimedia Audio Device (Interface 3)
Those same entries can be found in Device Manager>Universal Serial Bus controllers even on first boot if the Tab is not connected. Even after connecting the Tab, this list does not change.
Thanks again for your help!
Seth

have you tried uninstalling everything related to the tab? Kies, the specific drivers etc, then trying the Heimdall drivers?
So all the devices listed above are there when the Tab isn't even plugged in? Odd.. I would have suggested trying it for the USB-Serial Controller D, but if it's there without the Tab plugged in it sound like a different system device.
Don't suppose you have access to a different pc to try it on? see if it even notices the Tab being plugged in and tries to install drivers..

Yeah, I have other computers to try. Tried plugging it in yesterday to a different computer (same brand and model) with no change. Computer didn't recognize the device at all and/or try to install drivers.
Usually when an unknown device is plugged into a computer, the computer registers that it's there - the Device Manager shows an "Unknown Device" somewhere in the list, but this isn't the case with this device. Not sure what happened, but it appears as though I goofed up the USB somehow in the rooting process or the port itself went bad.
I'll try other computers and write back.
Thanks again,
Seth

I've tried three different computers with the same outcome. They do not register the device at all, and I cannot mount the SD card to the computer. I'm definitely at a bit of a loss at this point. Without USB, I'm not sure how else to make this happen. Ideas?
Seth

Just to double check with hemidall ur opening the drivers folder and running zadig.exe in there going to options>list all devices

Yes, that is correct. I'm opening the Heimdall 1.1.1 folder, opening the drivers folder, and running zadig. Nothing pops up at all and nothing shows up in the device manager.
I cannot mount the SD card to my computer, but the Tab recognizes it when I plug it into the computer's USB port. That's as far as I can get, however, as the computer does not see the Tab at all.

Have you tried 'fix permisions' in recovery mode - usually under the advanced option?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

There is no "Fix permissions" in this recovery mode. Tried to fix permissions from cwr (which only went through 2 lines), but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Still force closes Gallery when I try to mount the SD card. Also force closes gallery when I try to open gallery.
This is very strange. It continues to tell me that there is an update available. I might go ahead and take it to see if it takes me back to stock. I would be okay with this as long as I had USB connectivity again and could root.
Any other thoughts?
Seth
P.S. Tried to take the update, but it gets about 1/3 of the way through the install and fails.

Any other ideas on how to flash without Heimdall?

Seth, what about trying Odin3 and its drivers?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

I'll look around and find Odin3 and give it a shot. I'm concerned that because my computer doesn't recognize it as a connected USB device, that no program will see it either. That said, it's worth the shot and I appreciate the suggestion.
Do you know whether I can use the same files for Odin that I would use with Heimdall? Do they need to be packaged differently?
Thanks in advance,
Seth

If you have GSM based tab you can try flashing Team Overcome's Kratos ROM (I had no issues with download mode following their excellent ROM flashing instruction here http://p1000.teamovercome.net/?page_id=64 ) which involves download mode + using Odin, which displayed that it's connected to a tab through a serial port emulation. At least you can confirm if your tab's download mode is working. I'm using Win 7 Home Premium 64 btw.

I downloaded Odin 3, but without knowing if I am able to flash a package designed for Heimdall, I'm not sure what Odin 3 would tell me. Thoughts? Can I use Odin3 to transfer one of the Heimdall-specific ROMs to the Tab?

I had this same problem some weeks back. I had to use the drivers that came with Heimdall, and most importantly, in order to get it to recognize in download mode, I had to install them while in download mode and plugged in.

Cant mount CD into PC

Hi all,
I'm currently using MIUI 2.1a released in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588360
I connect my phone into pc and toggle on the mount usb storage but i cant see the external drive in my computer.
I tried it with diffrerent PC's and reflashed the same ROM result is the same. Any ideas?
PS:It was working before.(with this ROM) after a certain thing(dont know what) it happened.

Try reinstall the LG-drivers from the LG-page.

Could try usb debugging and check to see whether your PC even recognises ur phone using the command "adb devices".
Then if ur phones is recognised it should install drivers automatically (if ur on windows 7).
If not then as @pacos1 said, install the LG United Mobile Drivers either through the lg P970 support page or through their update module.

Can't connect 2x to computer by USB (tried all methods found on Internet.........)

Recently I'm helping a friend to update his LG 2X. It is using android 2.2.2 Froyo. However, there's no way to connect 2X to the computer by USB
All LG USB driver are installed, and I've tried the below method:
1. use different USB cable
2. Check/uncheck mass storage
3. Enable/disable usb-debug mode
4. Use computer with different OS (windows 7/ Mac OS)
5. Phone factory reset, format internal sd card
6. Reboot the phone
7. lock/unlock the phone
8. Connect the phone when it is turned on /off
But still can't connect to computer
The phone's firmware version係V10d, kernel version is 2.6.32.9, android version 2.2.2, build number FRG83G. It's a HK stock phone.
Any suggestions?

Drivers
Formatting and doing a factory reset is kinda overkill xD
I recommend you do this on the windows 7 PC.
Go to device manager and then plug in your o2x into your computer. Uninstall your existing LG drivers. Then plug phone OUT from computer
I believe you do not have the right drivers for your phone. Make sure you phone model is p990 and that you get the drivers from the LG website
WHEN INSTALLING THE DRIVERS, MAKE SURE PHONE IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER
The driver file name should be LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN38AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.8.1
Then plug your phone back into your phone, windows 7 should then prompt a installing of drivers. Wait until everything is installed then after all drivers have been installed, turn on USB mass storage.
Hope it helps you
