Usb storage problem help!

Hi to all!
From Yesterday i have i sudden problem i never had.
When i connect my i9000 does not anymore show the 2 drives (usb storage of both internal external sd) on my computer.
I use Glitch kernel with latest cm7 kang.
When i connect the phone via usb to the pc,sometimes i get the erroe usb device not recognised (win 7 x64), and connects and disconnects randomly(always showing the error),other times doesnt do anything.
I tried cleaning the port,different pc usb port,different pc's, factory reset,different cable,older versions of glitch kernel or cm7.
Formatted also boot and system folders(of course also wipe data etc).
Installed kiss,boot the pc with phone off and then on.
Tried win7 x64 drivers.Sometimes i get on windows unknown device that i cannot find drivers that accepts.
On off usb debug mode and restart.
Nothing seems to work for me.
So id like to ask.....Should i try to go back on stock(firmware+kernel)?
And how is it done???
Or maybe its the port fault?

Any ideas?Noone?
Could someone please tell me how to go back on stock?
First to stock kernel then to stock firmware?
Thanks

The "device not revognised" error is related to USB debug mode, unless you have installed Google USB drivers.
Its not supposed to occur with debug mode=off.
Going back to stock (Leaked JVU) is explained here:

Thanks for the link.
Going back to stock worked for a friend of mine,which came today(he has the same phone with cm7.2 rco and glitch kernel but with usb port working)by simpling entering on download mode and flashing with odin.Drivers installed (from samsung drivers folder,after installing kies)
On my phone,on download mode,or it doesnt say anything or i get on pc the message uknown device,cannot install etc.If i try to manual push the drivers it says the device cannot start.
So it must be a hardware related problem no??
In this case ,because i am still on warranty,is there any other way (for example via cwm) to put stock firmware and kernel in order to claim warranty?
Many thanks for your posts.

[Q] Zero connectivity in download mode. £10 for solution. :)

Okay a little backstory:
I was on an early version of CM9 but as i am selling the phone i decided to put a more stable version of it on there and downloaded CM7 -stable.
I flashed this in CWM and it worked fine.
I gave it a quick test and noticed all the google apps were missing, most importantly the market. So i booted into recovery and realised i had forgotten to put the zip on the SD card.
I then went into mounts and mounted USB, nothing happened...
From that point onwards the phone would not talk to the PC. even if i booted up into the phone, it would just show it as charging. I could not find any options in the menus for USB options.
After some extensive reading, i tried a few things, none of them had worked. I found a post mentioning some kernels have issues with USB, so i downloaded the recommended one and flashed it in CWM.
After rebooting, CWM was now orange and not blue and the option to flash from external card has gone.
I have also done some digging and there is a good posibility that the kernal that i flashed was for the GT I9000 (which is the american one, right?)
So as it is at the moment:-
I can get into CWM.
I can get into download mode through the 3 button combo.
I can get into download mode using home made jig.
I can boot the phone, but it boot loops.
I can not get the phone to be detected on the pc.
Things i have checked:
Cable will connect other phones.
Tried different cable to be sure.
Phone used to be detected, but downloaded drivers through kies again to be sure.
Closed Kies using task manager.
Nothing is coming up in network connections in device manager when phone is connected.
I'm out of ideas now, so £10 PayPal donation for anyone that comes up with the solution to fix it
If i can get it detected, i can use Odin to flash what i want.

Sounds like a drivers problem. You may need the 'Google driver' developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
When I had bootloops when I first installed CM9 I used heimdall to flash a the stock CM9 kernel. This gave me back CWM.
heimdall flash --kernel 'kernel.zip'
In the commandline.

Thanks for that,
I already had the Google USB drivers from when i installed the SDK to make some apps.
So i then gave Heimdall a try (Graphical Version), it seemed to suffer the same problem.
Reporting "Failed to detect compatible download-mode device."

I seem to remember the GUI saying I didn't have the correct drivers and it downloaded them for me.
The other thing worth a try is changing the USB port and reinstalling the correct drivers on that port.

I've not seen anything like that, it has not asked me for any drivers.
It's like the phone is not connected at all. nothing will detect it, i have even tried it on another PC.
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by installing on a port.

Well sometimes changing USB port will allow you to install new drivers. Although if you've tried it in another computer and it doesn't work then changing port may not help.
Does the phone appear in device manager when it's connected and in download mode?

Nope. Not coming up at all in the device manager. It didn't when it was booting fine. And it still doesn't in download mode. :-( I'm thinking the usb connector on the phone might be faulty.
But it was working up until trying to mount the USB in CWM

I don't suppose you have access to a Linux PC do you? Windows USB drivers are notoriously sucky. If you could plug it into a Linux PC and type 'lsusb' at a command line, that would at least show you that the device is really there.

I think I have a spare pc kicking around that I could use. I'll give it a go when I get home tonight.

Remove all the drivers completely from device manager for Samsung, then install fresh drivers and connect the cable when in download mode, hopefully it will recognize it

Are you sure the connector is clean? e.g. maybe there's dust in it.
I had that problem once, the connector was full of fabric fibers from some coat's pocket I had the phone in.

Suggestion 1 (Linux): I installed ubuntu, did not detected anything to even install any drivers. Detected my new phone fine.
Suggestion 2 (Uninstall drivers from device manager): I could not find any drivers named with the name Samsung in there.
Suggestion 3 (Clean port): I have some compressed air that i sprayed inside, it does look pretty clean and will continue to charge but still not connection on the pc.

To install the drivers for heimdall you have to run zdiag from inside the driver folder. Had to do this earlier on, the phone the other appeared as something other than Samsung composite usb or whatever it normally says

I tried this, and it displayed 9 devices after selecting show all. I seemed to recognise all of the items in the menu.
To be sure, I then disconnected the phone and re ran it to see if one of the items were missing, but it was the same number.

I too had problem with the usb connection on my i9000, and I was pretty sure my usb connector on the phone is somewhat damaged since it sometimes can only go to charging mode without being detected by my pc as a usb device. CWM instal is fine but ODIN can only detect the phone without able to flash the rom to the phone. The flashing will always stuck at the message "Setting Up Connection", I waited for 15 minutes and the flashing will eventually died. I retry the odin flash for 40 to 50 times and eventually the flashing will go through one time. Tried heidmall command line and the result is the same.

I have problem with Odin in the past. I bought a new laptop, running Win7 64 bit. Installed Samsung Kies to install the correct USB drivers for the phone. Then made sure that Kies wasn't running in the background. So tried using Odin. Odin was detecting the phone, but it was hanging at initialising connection. Odin was working fine on my old laptop running Win7 32bit. Long story short, I was having a few issues with my new laptop, reinstalled Win7 64bit, now Odin is working fine, have flashed the phone a few times using the new computer.

After flashing which kernel you started facing this problem?
Wipe ur phone,re-flash CM7(flash the nightly 181,it's completely stable),uninstall KIES,uninstall old usb drivers,install these usb drivers http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956 ,check that USB storage mode is set as Mass Storage and then connect your phone. Also try enabling/disabling USB debugging

The point at which i could no longer mount the USB was when i selected "mount usb" from CWM. I later installed a new kernal which downgraded my CWM, removing the install from external SD option.
So I cant flash a re-flash a rom unless i can it onto the phone which without the USB working is near impossible.

You can directly download the ROM on your internal sd using dolphin browser or opera mobile

I can't do that either as the phone is currently boot looping.

No...when connecting the SGS into Dowlad Mode and then USB, the Windows Error advice appears...
It doesn`t happen when I connect the phone during the bootloop

Have you tried multiple PC's or just the one? A different USB cord? Have you removed kies and deleted the "sys info" folder, rebooted, then installed just the Samsung driver?

I`ve tried different PC, and nothing...now I`ll try different cord...but is there anything related with the storage/ mount? does win7 recognize EXT4 devices?

Windows 7 recognizes EXT4 so that's not the issue, otherwise everyone who flashes roms and plays with their phone would have the same issue.
Try the cord, apart from that if you can't get any PC to recognize it in download mode it may be hardware related.

Not yet

How do you access download and recovery modes, through 3 button combos or electric jig?

3 buttons still working
3 buttons function still working...but, I supose that something is not allowing the Win7 recognize it...yesterday I tried in a Win XP and nothing happens too...5 min ago I tried do this in another win7 PC...same erros

The problem presented at CWM is the same that the other thread at this page.

I'm having trouble understanding your posts. From what I can gather we have eliminated a driver, PC or cord issue. Why do you think it is CWM issue when the phone is not even recognized in download mode?

I have tried reinstall Samsung Driver, no sucess...
I have used a different USB cord, no sucess...
I have tried using another PC and nothing!
The 3 Buttons options still working even for CWM (then I can`t do anything cause the unknow mount/ storage problem)....and in Download Mode the WIn7 Doesn`t Recognize it.
I hope you understand me...sorry about my English!

CWM Unable to Delete files
I continue in trouble...my SGS isn`t working, the CWM mode can`t wipe, delete or install anything...always the "E: unknow mount"
The Download Mode still not working!

What were you doing when this issue started?

I was restoring
I was trying to restore the update.zip file...I was using the MyICS and later the ICS RC4.2 ...but I`ve decided to return to the stock, wipe data/ factory reset and then: no more boot (only i9000 appears and stay)

HI, I`m using a program USBDeview and it can "see" my device although it doesn`t recognize as a SGS or i9000 or anything related.
I`ve been reading something related to ADB and PDAnet, but everytime that someone says to put my device in Debugging mode ON and continue the steps, I have to stop cause I can`t turn ON my SGS...I suppose that before the last time I used it I let the debugging MODE OFF...so my PC and any other PC will recognize it.
Any other idea/ solution?
Thanks a lot...but I still don`t have a phone,

I`ve been trying to solve my problem but no succes until now!

I still have the CWM 3.0 issue (not abble to install/ restore/ apply zip...anything caude it doesn`t acces to storage/ mount)
I still have to DOwnload Mode, but unabble to the FLASH ANYTHING by Odin.
Thanks a lot...but I still don`t have a phone,

What happens when you open Odin and then plug it in in download mode?
Have you tried to mount or unmount storage in CWM?
If you can't wipe anything through CWM and can't get any PC to recognize it in download mode unfortunately it sounds like you have either bricked your phone or you have hardware issues.
You've probably tried it, but, pull your battery out for a minute and then try everything again, apart from that there's nothing else I can help you with. Maybe start searching for tricks on how to unbrick an sgs.
Good luck mate and keep me posted on your progress, I'll help where I can.

USB connection to PC not working

My phone was working perfectly until a few days ago when I noticed that USB connection to PC stopped working. I was running imilkas CM9 v2. USB used to work perfectly and then randomly, it just stopped working, I don't have a clue what caused it because I did not flash anything on the phone.
When I connect my Phone to the Computer via USB cable, my phone start charging and nothing else happens. My computer does not even show that I connected a USB device.
I've tried 3 other computers with the drivers and the same issue (1 comp with xp and the others with win 7). Also, not to mention, I've tried multiple USB cables, including the original. I've tried USB Debugging on and off, doesn't make a difference.
I've tried ADB and it does not recognize the device either.
In CWM when I mount USB storage, it does not work.
In download mode, when I plug in the cable, nothing happens, odin does not detect any connection.
USB connection to the computer is Dead and it does nothing but charge my phone.
Here is a list of things I've already tried to fix the issue:
1. Factory Reset.
2. Used Mobile Odin, reverted to my Phone's Stock GB ROM (KK2). On stock GB, I tried Kies Air and that worked fine, but USB connection had the same issue
3. Formatted the Internal Storage
4. Removed the SIM Card and Micro SD card, still no luck.
5. re-installed CWM (without pc)
6. Installed Paranoid Android 0.2
7. Called Samsung... They said they wont service my phone because I'm located in Canada and I have the International Note. They told me I'd have to take it to the country I bought it from.
If anyone can offer any help that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Phone used to work perfectly fine before. Already flashed original rom, it did nothing. And I've already talked to Samsung. They won't help me.
I've already mentioned that in my op! I would be nice to hear suggestions/solutions other than the ones I've mentioned.

Can anyone please help me out with this? I even tried cleaning the usb port a bit more, but no avail. I am guessing the file that recognizes a PC connection got corrupted some how. Anyone know how to update or replace that?

Acidently deleted USB connection app

Hello guys,
as I wanted to delete unnecessary blow apps I think I deleted some important System app that is responsible for connecting to a PC. Now the S5 mini behaves as I it is connected to a battery charger when it is connected to a PC, there is no sign that it is recognized by the PC. I allready tried to Flash recovery with Odin but it isnt recognized by Odin too (in download mode). Am I doing something wrong? Can someone help me PLEASE get my phone working again and flash some custom ROM? Thanks in advance!!!

Try to install kies drivers for your smartphone and retry on odin. I think the only problem is the missing of the drivers

No, Kies is installed and it has no effect. Neither Kies nor the Computer recognize the phone, even on the phone theres no sign it is connected to the PC except the battery loading sign.

Try To find the drivers on google and install them. Do you have a custom recovery? If yes you can flash a custom rom

Download mode isn't related to kernel nor recovery, so unless you somehow wiped all phone's memory (all partitions) you'll still have download mode. So if you can enter Samsung's download mode and your computer doesn't recognize the phone it's one of them:
1. Bad cable, some USB cables only charge, no data connection;
2. Bad USB port on either phone or computer, try and different computer.
Good luck.
