USB mass storage problem - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my Note.
When I plug my phone to my computer, it doesn't recognize but it charged.
I have also install some applications like usb switcher, but it doesn't work anymore.
I have flashed some ROM too but it's the same problem.
I have changed my USB cable too.
I hope that it's not a hardware problem ...
If a someone have any solutions, help me please.
Thanks.
And sorry for my bad english I'm French.

Sounds like a driver issue.
Enable usb debuggin and reconnect.
If youre on a stock rom try changing from mtp to ...the other option.

Thanks for your reply.
But I have tried to clean my USB port, and now when I connect my phone to my mac it's recognize but when I tap on connect, my phone disconnect/connect every time. It's crazy.
So I think that my USB port is dead ...

Hmm i saw your post on ~dev. [rom] jellybeer.
I flashed the same rom [most recent one]
and ran into the same issue, so i guess theres something missing in that rom.

Yes I have flashed jellybeer but I have changed 4 times, different ROM, but I have the same issue. I have bought a micro usb port today. I wait it.
Today, my phone charge very slowly ...

Need help guys!

I just got my Note last week. I am trying to sync my phone to laptop. But somehow, it gets stuck on "connecting". Any tips or other alternatives? Thanks in advance. I plan on rooting my phone. Thats why I need to back up my phone first. Thanks in advance!
What OS are you using? Did you install the USB drivers?
Windows. Yes I in stalled it. But somehow it says that its not properly installed. And problems may occur. I dont know the reason. I tried, reinstalling it, but still same problem. Can I sync it wirelessly?
Hi.
I had the same problem, but it worked after I unchecked the USB Debugging.
Regards
Your problem is most probably the usb debugging uncheck it and your phone is in kiesmode

Try uninstalling, downloading from the country website your phone is from. Or your csc is from. Download from the N7000 page kies. Then install and run as admin. If it doesnt connect perform the connection wizard, or connection troubleshooting. that will reinstall drivers. These steps work for me everytime.

Do a software update over wifi for your phone and downdload the latest kies from official website.

Sorry if this is a stupid answer but I was having a lot of trouble connecting my note to the PC. I was using a cable I used for all my phones that worked fine. Someone told me to try it with the cable Samsung supplied and after that it all worked fine. I just thought it might be worth trying.

I am using the Kies usb. i already downloaded the Kies via the samsung website. And After I opened it, it says a newer version is available. So I updated. I also tried the Kies air, I can see the apps on my phone, but I seem cant find where is the sync button for me to make a back up for my phone. How do i use Kies wifi? Sorry again for these noob questions. First time to use android phones. Thanks again!

Kies Air doesn't do that. The main (PC) KIES app does. But, even if you connect through KIES, it will only allow you to back up things like contacts, photos, ringtones etc. It won't be a full backup of your system.
What can help if KIES doesn't see your phone:
1. Installing the latest version of KIES (which you already did)
2. Making sure your phone is in the MTP (not USB memory) mode. It should be as a default, unless you actually click on "USB memory" button when connecting to PC
3. Unchecking "USB debugging"
4. Running the connection repair wizard in KIES (I have a local language version, so I don't know the exact English name) - this reinstalls drivers - and then connecting again.
5. Trying a different USB port or cable
6. Rebooting both the phone and computer
If all fails, then probably this is a problem with Windows drivers. Repairing this would require a bit of expertise and involves booting Windows in safe mode, checking which devices and drivers are actually installed and removing any that seem suspicious. If you have never done that, an easier option would be installing KIES on another computer and doing the backup there.
Theoretically, running the connection repair wizard in KIES should clean and reinstall the right drivers for your phone, but in practice this doesn't always work as it should.

Computer doesn't recognize the NOTE anymore. (ADB or drive mapping)

My laptop (and other computers I've tried) stopped seeing the note.
When I plug it in it only says charging but I don't see a new device added on Windows.
ADB says waiting for device. If i disable usb debugging a message about MTP comes up upon connection but I don't see any drives mapped in windows at all. Device manager doesn't show any android or untecognized devices.
I tried uninstalling samsung usb drivers and reinstalling them. Nothing helps. I am starting to think I have a hw issue. Anything else you can think of friends?

Do nand backup. Flash GB then try.
Forgot to mention. I am back on Rocket ROM v22.
The plan is to full wipe and install ROCKET V23 today and see if it helps.

#$%^@! Samsung USB drivers will be the death of us all.
I experienced something similar the other day: had the standalone drivers installed which worked well, then suddenly stopped for reasons known only to CIA and KGB, I suppose.
This is what helped:
1. uninstalled drivers
2. installed fresh Kies *yecch*
Will give it a try mate. Thanks!

update : things aren't looking good.
I did a full wipe, tried a different kernel and installed KIES.
Nothing helps, the comp doesn't even make that sound when a new usb is plugged in so it doesn't even try to look for drivers or mount it.
Is it really HW issue or can i still try anything ?

Im pretty sure you already tried it but...
I had such a problem once. Turned out that my USB cable was broken, it could only charge but data-lines were inactive. I have no idea if Note uses the same line for both charging and data sync, but maybe it's not the phone - but the cable ?

thanks mate, tried two different cables.
Went to another comp now, which didn't have any samsung **** installed on it, upon first connection it tried installing the drivers and failed (obviously). I then installed samsung usb drivers, and ever since - same problem - comp doesn't see the phone.

You will agree, wipe can't restore if any corrupt system file isn't ?
N this can't be solved by any measure you.took, change pc/change cable/wipe device
How is the idea to reflash?

Hello Dr!
So... i tried flashing ICS via mobile ODIN to try and see if it works - nothing. I tried a full wipe on stock GB - same.
I tried 3 different usb cables, and three comps - same same.
What i did notice now, is that if i keep trying to connect it for 20-30 times, it might work once out of those 30 and next time it won't work again.
hardware right ?
It seems to be hardware only.
But as you have to move to service centre, once make last try to flash using pc odin. N i think, which is requires for warranty purpose too.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Defective/dirty USB socket perhaps?
Could be. I really don't know what to think other than a faulty hardware. I tried blowing compressed air into the usb port. Other than changing the usb port assembly I don't see another way. I am with no warranty as well as I bought it from HK when they just came out and it is my understanding that Samsung only respects the warranty within the country the device is bought.

Compressed air usually unable to remove tar from pin
If you want to clean it, better use cotton soacked with spirit/petrol (after removing battery), as it evaporates rapidly. N let it dry completely.
Any update on your situation, mfractal?
Unfortunately no. I've tried cleaning the contacts but that also didn't help.
Thinking about trying to replace the usb charging port assembly but can't seem to find a dealer that sells it. Also not sure it'll help....

Dude, I too had such an issue earlier, but what I did was, I tried installing an application @ the market named "USB Mass Storage Watcher" and as soon as I installed and configured so, I got my drive identified immediately. May seem pretty noob, but no harm in giving a try....
didn't work.... same as before, only charging.

Cannot connect my Note to computer?? Missing drivers!

Hey
First time having this issue...my note keeps telling me that I Need to download driver software. No CD came with my phone. I've uninstalled kies and reinstalled. Very weird I can't think why its not connecting. I'm trying to add a rom to flash but grrrrrrrrrr lol
UPDATE...I didn't open kies and it is installing driver! U would think it would do it automatically.

Okay that did not work at all. Kies installed driver again and my phone still does not connect to USB or kies???

I had the same issue the other day.. when i tried to connect the note to pc.. the MTP driver was failing and neither pc or kies was detecting the phone... but this happened to me when once i changed the usb utilities setting to connect it as a mass storage device... it connected as mass storage but later it wouldnt connect as media device. tried all sort of things like reinstalling drivers , kies.. tried on a diff pc... still dont work...
later i concluded that it was the phone and did a nandroid backup and then it worked....

Having the same problem with my note since updated kies 3 or 4 days ago. Read somewhere that using the solve connection problem from kies and then unppluging the pc from internet to connect de phone solves the problem though i didn't tried it. The problem is the new driver that came with the latest version of kies, shoud you get the previous drivers all with work again.
Hi @islandmixed,
You sir, are a LEGEND!!!!
Summit happened to my N7000 months ago... And for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what had happened... I went through everything, followed many guides, tried many PCs and nothing....
Apart from wiping the ROM and starting again (which I didnt want to do, as all is working fine otherwise) I was at a loss....
Your answer here was spot on, and now shows up in Windows again....
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Please let me know what exactly you did in order to get this done. We've bought some 10 S3 minis where I work and I've had no success in doing so. I've found no settings which would le me do that. My Galaxy Note has no problem with this at all. I also tried installing samsung usb drivers but no luck. The only thing that happens on the phone once it's connected is the sound of battery charging.

Sometimes plugging the USB cable into another USB port helps, well it do with me.

[Q] USB connection problem

Hi everyone, I need some help because I have a problem with my xperia Z1... My device doesn't want to connect to my computer through the USB cable... I've tried everything I knew, I've unchecked and rechecked USB debugging, I've tried to reflash the rom, I've tried reboot both of my computer and my phone, I've tried to switch between multiple USB cables and computers and it still does not work.
When I plug my phone in the USB port of my computer, there is some kind of loop : it connects and deconnects several time until I unplug it. Charging seems working fine and I have no clue of what's happening... I need help !
Device infos :
Xperia z1 c6903, locked bootloader, running android 4.4 kitkat on .757 firmware with the MonXdified rom, 32GB sd card, 16GB internal storage.
Help me please !
PS: Sorry for my english but I am french.
