Ok, I've had this phone for 2 months now. It's the 2.1 Eclair. It used to mount just fine, but now all it does is charge the phone when I attach the usb to the computer. I've eliminated the cord as the issue since my mom's captivate mounts just fine with it. I thought it was originally my computer, which is now Windows 7, but again my moms' captivate mounts just fine. It also won't mount to my other computer running XP. I've installed and uninstalled every samsung driver available but I still cant' get it mounted in either debugging mode or nondebugging mode. I also thought it might be a software issue since I had rooted the phone so I unrooted and did a hard reset. Still no mount! I want to get mounted, and not just by my wife!
At this point I would be happy to simply load apps via the sd card but I can't seem to successfully edit the settings.db file, either. Any help with mounting the phone or simply being able to load nonmarket apps via the sd card would be much appreciated.
Alternatively, here's a question to those much smarter than I. If I can't get the phone to mount via usb cable, how can you install a rom or nonmarket apps without attaching the usb cable?
Thanks!!
1. you can try to download a rom via wifi using internet browser. it will be stored in your \sdcard\download folder. also you need to download update.zip into your sdcard root folder.
2. shut down your phone and reboot into recovery, load the new recovery. (you may need to load twice)
3. flash the new rom by installing the zip file in your download folder.
sounds like it could be an driver prb i had same thing i belive went 2 samsung and got drivers reinstalled and phone mounted 2 pc with no troubles
I believe I found the issue.
Disable auto-sync.
Settings > Accounts and Sync > Deselect the auto-sync option.
My wifes phone had never been able to connect and mount via computer on the cable to the PC. Different PCs, different cables, everything. My phone always worked. First thing I ever did when reinstalling a new ROM was disable auto-sync. Soon as I disabled her auto-sync, the option to mount came right up.
Hope this helped.

*edit* I spoke too soon. Exchanging the phone tomorrow. It has other issues too...
I could use some help getting my bluetooth to work. I've tried several of the CM7 nightlys, their RC4, phiremod v5, v5.2, and v5.3. They all flash just fine, and work great, except when I try to turn on the bluetooth. When I go to the settings and try to turn it on, it just spends 30 seconds trying then goes back to having it off. I've flashed and re-flashed the system, and have read everything I can find, but don't know what I'm doing wrong.
My steps.
1) Downloaded 8gb_clockwork-0.1-ext4.tar.gz
2) Burned the contained img file to an sd card (used the dd command)
3) Copied system image to sd card (ie phiremod-nook-V5.3.zip)
4) Unmounted sd card and inserted it into my rooted nook
5) Turned nook on
6) Formated /system /data and /cashe
7) installed from sd card, selecting zipped image (ie phiremod-nook-V5.3.zip)
8) when complete, unmounted sd card
9) removed sd card
10) rebooted
11) it always fails to boot the first time, but works find after a restart.
Can anybody see what I'm doing wrong?
What works for me is pressing 'fix permissions' in rom manager then reboot and badabing.

That did the trick!, thank you very much luciferii
Just a note as I try to avoid "Fix Permissions" when possible-
Anyone with this problem MAY be able to turn bluetooth on by rebooting and enabling it as quickly as possible.
This seems to work most of the time for most people. Not always..
If not, fix permissions and a reboot does seem to take care of it the rest of the time.

Why would you avoid fix permissions? It just sets things to sane values.
As for me, the fix I heard and what worked for me was to turn off Wifi, Power off, power back on, turn on Bluetooth and let it init, then turn on Wifi. Now both will turn on.

Two reasons:
#1) While I am not afraid to mess with root access or abilities I also try to avoid doing so whenever I can. If I don't NEED to, I don't. Same way I work on my linux computers. And if I have done nothing to mess perms up they SHOULD be ok.
#2) I think the simplest fix is best, every time. (As long as it actually FIXES the problem, of course.)
If all that is actually NEEDED is a reboot and turning on bluetooth quickly, why do anything else?
I have been running 4.0 for a long time, so i thought it was about time to get a newer version. so i ran the acmeuninstaller and was about to upload a new rom when i encountered a strange problem. i'm asked if i want to initialize the disk when i select mass storage mode. I have tried from webOS and from CWM, have also tried two usb cables, both my macbook pro and my windows 7 laptop. the original usb cable doesn't seem to be working anymore so i haven't got to try with that.
I didn't have any problems using recovery to transfer using nova com or preware. just the mass storage part that seem to be out of order.
any help is appreciated.
I'm starting to suspect something seriously wrong with the tablet.
i had ran a acmeuninstaller, but still booted into android. so i downloaded a rom and a file manager, and then a problem i've been having started to occur - processes dying etc. usually fixed by a reboot. which was one of the reasons i wanted to try something else.
so i took a reboot, and well - everything i had downloaded was gone. so i did the opposite thing, started deleting everything i've downloaded.
next reboot - everything was back in place.
More of this and i'll just use webOS which seem to work well. beside the usb connection that don't work.
I have never used any uninstaller to flash a new ROM. All I do is do a factory reset, clear cache, clear Dalvik cache then install new Rom and Gapps. I did this when I went from 10.1 to 10.2 to finally 11.0. Also, I have found that having the most current recovery installed will help also. For example...CWM version 6.0.4.7 is needed to install CM 11.0 because datamedia support is required to properly support emulated sdcard storage in 4.4. I also use CacheMate to regularly clear my caches.
This is a known occurrence with the touchpad.
DO NOT, if prompted, format the disc when connected in USB mode.
If you google your problem, there is a solution out there.
If you don't find it, let me knownand I'll try and find the link for you.
Your touchpad is not fubar !!
Peace
Hello guys,
First of all, thank you Mike for the ARHD 93.0 rom (Android 5.0.2 Lollipop)! Really clean and fast and my HTC One M7 hasn't been faster since when I installed the latest update!
Now for something less fun. When I flashed the rom, everything seemed to work perfectly, it was blazing fast and everything on the phone worked perfectly well.
However, when I tried to move (drag and drop or file transfer through several programs) files onto my device it kept repeating the same sentence 'This device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected'.
This does not happen instantly, all drivers were installed properly and when I connect I can quickly transfer a file from time to time before it disconnects again.
So my phone connects fine, but then it disconnects afterwards although I can still browse directories on it. For me it made no sense whatsoever and I have been searching all over the place for a solution.
I have tried the following:
- Turn off USB debugging (as whenever I connect my device it kept asking to trust the computer, with every reconnect it asks me twice and I use 'Always trust this computer' and press ok)
- Used file transfer programs like wondershare mobilego and flashfxp (even) to transfer the files, did not work. Wondershare Mobilego only works with USB debugging off and it finds my device for a second but then also loses it and states it's disconnected.
- Tried reinstalling USB drivers (including HTC sync), windows just reinstalls the drivers and the problem persists.
- Tried changing the drivers within device manager -> Portable Devices -> HTC One. Tried them all, nothing works and problem persists.
- Tried different filetypes, but it just instantly gives me the 'This device has either stopped responding...' message.
During the installation (flashing) there were no problems whatsoever.
The device is always unlocked when I transfer files.
I use windows 7 x64 Ultimate Edition
I have used TWRP to flash the ARHD 93 rom and the only issue I have is it disconnecting all the time so I reckon it's a software issue somehow.
I have tried many things, but nothing worked, and hope there is anyone out there with the solution for me.
Thank you in advance!
Hello!

Now offline (not PC) update from SD available only... this phone not support SD-Card! Only OTG-SD.
-Attached 3 other USB-OTG converter cable (1pcs new, 1pcs 20x used)
-Attached pendrive (exFAT, FAT32, NTFS)
-Attached SD (exFAT, FAT32) in Kingston USB-SD converter
Pendrive LED not on: not readed.
Tested OTG cable to other USB device, 5V ok, Data line voltage ok: USB all 4 pin ok!
Tested OTG cables other older droid 5.1 phone, all working, SD readed with converter, pendrive readed correctly.
One P20 Pro bricked. Bootloader locked, fastboot mode available only (screen blank), Multi-Tool flasher/unbricker "stock service flash" downloaded to phone and failed (no write permission). Hisuite not support this phone recovery. No other method to unbrick, only SD-update. How to working this port?
Live system not read OTG and bricked system not read OTG.
Live system developer mode settings (*#*#2846579#*#*) changed to default, Manufactture, Hisuite, same. Developer software upgrade: 1. Memory card, 2. APK standalone, not available OTG/USB. Connected to PC: Photo mode, File mode and Charging mode available only (not available reverse charge).
USB port measurement: not powered live system, booting, recovery "update OTG mode" not powered the USB port!
1 phone= inside cable USB to mainboard bad? 2 phone= 2 cable bad??? Not real!
Charging ok. PC connection ok.
What is a problem???
Hey Looking Forward To Help You..
1.Go To "SETTINGS"
2.Search For "OTG"
3.Some Phones Like Eg.Oneplus Have OTG Option In the Status Bar Customisation Tab..
4.Use An Prober Cable [OR] See If It Works On The Other Phone..
5.Important The Drive/SD You're Using Doesn't Have Any Hardware Issues!
6.Best Thing Is Two Option.
A.Software Update.
B.Factory Reset - Data Loss [Not Recommended]
7.Or It Must Be an Hardware Issue Please Reach Out To The Nearest Mobile Service Centre.
Alwaya XDA Peace

If not rooted, use PC with Hisuite official software.
If not communicated to phone, need to reflash manually. This is not free.
In DC-Unlocker site download 2 software + pay 3 day license for this softwares and use.
Bootloop and cracking not related!
Cleared chaches??? Not solve?
Done factory erase,done cache memory erase,done restart and just staying on the Huawei screen where is saying down at the bottom Powered by Android for few minutes and after that goes in to the white meniu where you can select factory reset,updates (tried the WiFi update is not connecting),now I got the firmware and Kiwibird 4 in 1 card reader that you can plug up the "ass " of the phone usingOTG hopefully I can install the firmware from there...I have downloaded the firmware and just putting it on the SD card...have you tried that way?
Firmware install not working "offline" mode.
TWRP and any other not read OTG, only live system.
Another problem: OTG only support FAT/FAT32, not supported NTFS, ExFAT (Live system: need Paragon software). The firmware file more than FAT32 filesize limit (2GB), only stored NTFS or ExFAT = FW file too large for FAT.
Your FW upload only 3 method.
1. Boot to recovery, and set ADB mode, download the FW zip to DLOAD dir (from PC with USB cable + ADB), and install. (NOT TESTED!)
2. Boot to recovery, and set wifi recovery. Connect to wifi AP, download latest downloadable FW and install. (NOT TESTED)
3. Paid method: DC-Unlocker & DC-Phoenix work with standard recovery (limited access) and work own uploaded recovery (self opened bootloader/virtual testpoint).
OTG/SD not option for FW update!
Thanks you for your time,and writing back to me,yes,good point with different types of partitions,I forgot about it...I did try the nr.2 method and is not working,it can't download anything,I have trying different wiFi points,not starting any download,it does connect to the WiFi but can't find anything to be downloaded.
First method is not going to work as I have no access to set ADB mode,only fastboot mode,and is displayed that phone is locked soo, bootloader is locked and can't open it...soo only method to try is theast one...but don't know how much will that cost me.
Also I am thinking of other people said that the battery can have a problem too as my battery is getting empty fast...also something strange maybe..but if you tap the phone on the upper side on the edge it's restarting itself...I am thinking to open it up and try like that as in the past had been dropped soo back glass and camera glass have been replaced,but was working,until I have done factory reset and the process got interrupted in the middle of it and that was it...since.then..Inhave tried reset, factory reset,wipe cache, nothing working.
The softwares for 3 day ~20$. The DC-unlocker site write correct actual price.
If bootloader not opened, only available FW-update in Hisuite Huawei official software.
Test in recovery mode or bootloader mode.
(My recovery is TWRP, not available recovery method. Your available.)
Test connect to phone this software! If yes, but not available firmware, need to use special VPN software. Download offline your phone firmware to PC, or set specified link to VPN soft and Hisuite: update available! (Need Hisuite downgrade for this VPN method.)
If this update not working, purchase 3day license.
Need offline firmware file for your phone.
Soft-bootloader open if not working, use testpoint. (The DC-Phoenix manual write the testpoint position.)
Start the process in PC, Short testpoint to GND and plug USB. (If need, install drivers.)
Started upload unlocked bootloader and unlocked old recovery. After finished, reboot to recovery. (Without accu, work end... after reboot only work with plugged accu.) (Not need unplug accu!)
After booted recovery, wait PC to identify recovery mode, and started download.
The download 2 part! 1= firmware, 2=cust file. Need all selecting!
The download automated. Please wait for 100%. After end, rebooted to system.
Check IMEI, phone signal, MAC numbers. All ok? End flashing.
Wrong or no IMEI, bad MAC? Need the second software.
The second software unlock bootloader, FRP lock, all lock.
Unlocking bootloader (not need): software say the unlocking number, phone boot bootloader, PC USB ADB (Fastboot) command need to write the code, phone question: yes? Is yes, rebooted to recovery and CLEAR ALL DATA! After cleraing, boot system.
All phone start displayed "Phone untrusted".
Unlocked bootloder = uploadable TWRP or any recovery, after not need testpoint to flash.
Root: only rootable 8.1 system. (Not tested 8.1+, bootloader code not readable.)
Hi there mate,I have manage.to fix my phone,just following an old post here,with one russian website,where I got the firmware,put it on the SD card ,by the way you can make it eXFat ,will work for larger sizes,mine was 128 GB,and had to reboot the phone in update mode but selecting OTG/SD and it worked first time!I manage to update it with Android 10.After that all good,done the updates up to 12.
Thank you for your support and time!
Have a great week!
