Did samsung change something with how usb debugging works?
I ask b/c I went to the store b/c my phone suddenly stopped showing debugging in the notification area and the store said its probably something samsung did with a recent update b/c none of their personal epic 4g touches showed the debugging icon while connected to the pc with the usb debugging enabled.
I can get my mother's htc hero to show that it is debugging but when i connect my epic touch it just shows usb storage, no debugging icon.
Tomorrow is the last day I have to take it back to the store and exchange it if there is some kind of problem with it.
extra info:
usb drivers are installed(from the samsung site)
using usb cable that came with my phone
can use usb storage
PC recognizes my phone
stock EK02 - straight factory
previous experience:
htc hero
samsung moment
samsung intercept
when I use "adb devices" in the console no devices are listed. the ASDK is installed correctly. the manager at the store said maybe ASDK isn't compatible with my phone(I was thinking why wouldn't be?).
within the first 5 days(was updated to EK02 the first day) I the debugging icon would pop up while in debugging mode. one time i disconnected the usb connection b4 ejecting it from the taskbar in windows(no files were being transferred though), ever since then debugging hasn't worked. I though having the phone hard reset would fix it but nothing has changed.
It is kinda irritating if debugging isnt working that means i cant use adb, correct?
Is this just a problem I have or is this common?
If i flashed a ROM over would that possible fix it?

For some odd reason, I lost adb functionality (i.e. any adb command issued receives "error: device not found"). I looked in Device Manager and noticed that MyHTC was gone! I looked at my phone and USB debugging was enabled and in charge only. I could put it in USB Drive mode and the PC would recognize it as a USB Mass Storage Device so that I could exchange and view files but no adb.
I searched and searched on this issue for hours and installed over a half a dozen "androidusb.inf" driver files several times over. Every install generated the Code 10 error where Device Manager was lacking some information from the driver file and could not start the device. I reinstalled HTC Sync and gave that a try...nothing. Downloaded USBDeview and uninstalled all HTC drivers including the HTC Android USB Device and tried again to no avail. WTF?! What else am I supposed to do?
Well, in a "what the hell, let's give it a try" kind of moment, I decided to toggle the USB debugging off and then back on (and yes, it was checked and on the whole time). WORKS!!! WHAT THE CRAP?!! MyHTC is back in Device Manager and everything is back to normal. I'm glad but irritated!
I share this story in hopes that if someone else stumbles on this problem, they will not have to go through the same headache as I did. Just thought this was odd considering how many times I have plugged and unplugged and never had any problems with adb.
Toggle USB Debugging....so simple. *rolleyes*
Same Issue
I've got the same issue on my EVO 4G. Just installed the latest CM7 and now it tell me device not recognized. If I manually install the drivers it gives me the same code 10. I can't bring up the phone as a storage device and toggling the debugging is not working. Any ideas?

You installed the hboot drivers correctly?
Boot into recovery, with usb debugging enabled, connect to pc, it should install the drivers.
Still the same
Even when I reboot into recovery it still gives me "USB Device not recognized." I previously had MikFroyo on my phone with no problems. I'm at a loss.

You most likely have a bad cable, do you have another one you can try?
Possibility
Not at the moment but that may explain it. Still seems weird for it to just go out right as I change to CM7, but still a possibility. I am going to run and grab my other cable. Thanks for the advice.
No Luck
The new USB cable didn't fix the problem. Also, in device manager, even with the driver installed its labeled as "unknown device."
If I boot into hboot the computer recognizes it.
**update: After rebooting from the hboot, my phone is recognized by the computer however, a disk drive is not coming up in "my computer." I have USB storage turned on but Im not getting anything.**
Any help would be much appreciated!
Sad Day
Apparently the Micro USB port on the bottom of my phone is going bad... I talked with some other people who've had the same problem. HTC knows that the ports aren't very sturdy as well. Well... sad day for me.
Also if you're getting the notice from windows saying that you your device will run faster in a 2.0 usb port and you know the port is 2.0 ... chances are your port is going bad as well.
*****UPDATE*****
Flashed to MikFroyo and none of the above stated problems. I would venture that it was CM7 but apparently everyone else is able to use it so who knows.
I restored my computer last week and since then I haven't been able to connect my sd card through the micro-usb cable. The drivers for it will not automatically download and I have already gotten the official Samsung drivers from the website. The drivers that aren't downloading are
SAMSUNG Android USB Modem
Android UMS
S3C6410 Android Adb
Any help or places that I could get these drivers would be greatly appreciated
Yeah, I was having the problem. What is your operating system?
I tried rebooting with it plugged in, although sometimes it would knock out my keyboard drivers? I even sometimes had to reset cmos... However, if you plug the cable in the back of the computer (Directly into the mobo) then it should work when rebooting. Just make sure you are in mass storage before you reboot the computer.
It should also recognize it as a storage device in the future if it works . Just play with it, took me a while....
Make sure that Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging is unchecked too.
Ok so I want to root my epic, there's just one problem... ADB doesn't see my phone. It is listed in my device manager and is showing as working. but when i try and list adb devices it shows nothing. My phone is in USB Debugging mode. I have the Samsung drivers installed. I just cannot figure out why this is not working for me. I have looked everywhere and have been unable to find anything that has helped my problem at all. Tried to upload a pic showing my device manager but i guess i cant yet because i haven't made enough posts yet. Device manager show my device in three different sections one under USB Controllers as SAMSUNG USB Composite Device, One under Ports (COM & LPT) as SAMSUNG Mobile Modem Diagnostic Serial Port (WDM) (COM4) , and one under Modems as SAMSUNG Mobile Modem.Thanks for any ideas.

Try different USB port, switch data cable and also uninstall - reboot- reinstall driver - reboot - reboot phone - try again.
If you are using a laptop sometimes it's flaky. Reboot often and remember that you may have to kill that exe process... Think it was adb.exe a few times and just screw with it until you trick it to work. Trial and error

Ok so I wated a video on rooting samsung epic and one thing that I noticed was that when he hooked up his epic it showed up in the device manager under ADB Devices and mine shows up in 3 other locations. Is this where my problem is... am I just having issues with my drivers?

Turn off any security and uninstall the samsung drivers. reinstall drivers and watch and make sure your phone is detected by your pc. Now run your rooting app.

Hello. I am having the same problem as described above. The Epic is installing as a modem (on my Win7 PC) instead of an Android Composite ADB Interface. I cannot connect at all to the Epic (cannot connect via adb with debugging turned on and it I try and mount the Epic no folders show up on the PC). I have reinstalled the drivers and checked all of my serial ports. Also, I have a Samsung Captivate that works fine using the same system. Incidentally my wife took the Phone into Sprint to get the latest android version and they gave her a hard time cause it was rooted. I think they may have done something to the phone cause I pulled pictures off her phone to the PC last week. Help please!!
OK, so I got the Eipc to work. I still do not know the root cause but here are the steps I took to "fix it":
1) Unplugged USB cable and disabled usb debugging
2) Plugged in phone to USB and selected Mass storage. The drivers were installed correctly
3) Unplugged phone and turned on USB debugging)
4) Plugged in phone and the proper devices were detected but windows hung on installation of a "strange" unkown ADB device
5) Unplugged phone and plugged back into the USB port and all was working!
Hope this helps.
Let me start by saying I have read dozens of threads on connection issues from the original galaxy to the s2 and none of them have worked. Here is my problem. When I plug in my phone I get a MTP connected dialogue box but kies will not recognize my phone and odin won't recognize my phone in download mode. My computer's device manager doesn't even show drivers installed or any yellow triangles at all. As a matter of a fact, my computer does NOTHING when I plug in my phone. No installing drivers dialogue box or anything. I have tried manually mounting usb storage mode to no avail. I can not transfer files, root my phone or do anything. I'm running stock EK02. Also, with usb debugging box checked my phone just charges with no pc connection at all. with usb debugging unchecked it will show the mtp connected but my computer doesn't show anything
Here is what I've tried:
Installing and reinstalling kies about a dozen times.
uninstalling and reinstalling samsund drivers
rebooting my phone
tried different computers
I EVEN BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER (brand new nothing installed)
Then I bought a new usb cord
restarted my computer several times
checked then unchecked usb debugging just in case
Please Help, I'm completely stumped......
I can get on multiple chats for anyone interested (gtalk, facebook, irc, whatever) or take responses here. thank you in advance.
--------------------------
UPDATE: so it was the USB cord the while time. Apparently you should really only use the USB cord that came with the phone, which I lost and had to borrow from someone else.
Hi All,
I can't seem to get QPST to work with my Epic 4g (trying to change the PRL). I've followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898628
The issue is (as far as I can tell), the computer isn't using the correct drivers. I can't get the phone to show up as a com port regardless of what UART/USB settings I try, charging/USB tethering, or USB debugging enabled/disabled.
I've attached two pics from device manager, the first is using USB tethering, the other putting it in Charging mode. I've even tried reinstalling the Samsung USB drivers and manually updating them with the phone connected -- but no luck (it says the best drivers are already installed).
Any suggestions?
Found the fix: need to plug in the phone with PDA/USB selected and switch to MODEM/USB after. Otherwise my computer doesn't even detect a USB connection.
