Hey! I have an i9000 which is running OmniROM with Semaphore 3.4.3. Although it runs smooth, the device wouldn't show up on the PC. For some reason, it works when I mount USB storage via CWM.
P.S. I have this "Preparing SD Card for errors" notification on the start which won't budge to leave. The SD Card works.
Have you tried a different USB port on your computer? also try a different USB cable, then if that doesn't work you could try updating the drivers.

I have bought a used Bell Galaxy S Vibrant and for the life of me it will not connect to my Macbook, I tried Windows at my friends place and same thing.
I have tried turning USB Debugging on, off, set USB settings to Kies/Mass Storage etc....
Can anyone help me connect to my Mac so I can root and unlock this thing?
Model- GT-I9000M
Firmware- 2.1 -update1
Kernal- 2.6.29
Build #: ECLAIR.UGJG9
Come on,
Anyone?
I dont know if this will help ...
I was originally able to connect my phone to Kies and then something happened that stopped it connecting. When I plugged in the USB cable, Windows didnt make the sound it usually does when a USB device is found.
I finally realised that this had only started happening after I had installed an SD card in the phone. The SD card was formatted with my old Windows Mobile phone. If I unmounted the external SD card using the settings menu then reconnect phone to PC it is now recognised as a USB device and Kies connects. Something about the format of this SD card was stopping the USB connection working.
I reformatted the external SD card in the phone and now it connects ok with the SD card installed still.
Maybe your problem is similar?
For the Mac, you need usb debugging turned on. Look in settings, applications, development.
I needed that to mount the usb storage on my Mac.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

So I got root now I need to unlock, I got the unlock code but it keeps coming up "unsuccessful"
Ok I got it
After I applied the 3 button combo fix, I rebooted into recovery and did a factory wipe, entered the code at the prompt and viola
Hello,
I can not see the external sd card on my windows PC.
I can see the internal sd card as a drive and i have read write access on my win PC (XP/ prof and win7 prof)
I can see the external sd card as a drive but cannot see any files or folders.
connected USB cabel
select mass storage device
not possible to connect USB to PC via dialog (no notification is vissible in notification bar)
reconnect usb cable
Now it is possibel to connect USB to PC via upcoming dialog on phoneselect mass storage device Message box comes up telling that some apps may not work because they have access to sd card
After disconnecting the phone from PC I cannot access the external SD card on my phone until reboot of phone.
I can access the the external sd card using a card reader on my PC.
I think I got these problems since flashing Voodoo-stable-5.1-Froyo-2.2.1-GT-I9000
Firmware Version 2.2
Baseband I9000XXJPP
Kernel 2.6.32.9
I tried to format the sd card with the phone - no changes.
Best regards and thanks in advance O
I have the exact same problem, when I connect with usb cable to my win 7 x64 system using the mass storage option, at first I do not connect at all, then I have to remove the usb cable once, after that I can connect but only see the sd card on the phone itself, the external sd card is invisible.
When I remove the usb cable I am also unable to see the external sd card on the phone itself and I have to restart my phone in order to see it again.
My proplem is solved. By error I installed the voodoo 5.1. on Froyo 2.2 . But it should have been installed on Froyo 2.2.1 as mentioned in the filename of the zip file. I thought froyo 2.2.1 is included in the voodoo update.

I'm having multiple problems connecting my NC to my Win7 PC via USB, particularly from stock 1.2. Every time I connect, Windows attempts to install device drivers, and is successful only half the time, at most. If it successfully mounts the NC as USB storage, it may or may not also mount the SD card (again, maybe half the time).
I also boot CM7 from an SD card using verygreen's size-agnostic image. From there, the connection has been 100% reliable--turn on USB tethering, and both the system and storage partitions get mounted as USB storage.
HOWEVER, plugging in the NC from either OS frequently causes a really odd problem with my external HDD: both the drive and the uppermost layer of the file structure will still be listed in Computer, but click any of those folders and they show as empty. The HDD is also "in use" if I attempt a safe eject, but unplugging the USB and plugging it back in solves the problem.
Are other people running 64-bit Windows 7 having these problems? Any idea what could be causing my PC to get 'confused' about the HDD?
as the title says the red usb port wont recognize flash drives but the mini usb port recognizes my hd7 any ideas
Try it with a memory card reader + memory card. There are more reports of them working than USB drives
Hi guys,
I cant access my SD Card while connected in USB Mode, the cellphone charge normally but dont show any "Removable Device", isnt the problem with the computer (tried in 3 different computers) and neither the cable.
The issue started when I did a command at terminal that I saw @ CM10 thread to "solve" the SD Card mount in CM10 (sorry I dont remember the command). After that I can't access the SD Card through USB.
Did the wipes, installed Zeus Rom and the problem stills, flashed back CM10 and nothing happened, the USB charges, but dont show the "Removable Device" even in Zeus or CM10.
Any clue?
1st you are in wrong forum.
2nd use smartflash_tool and install official GB according to your country.
