I have two rooted Epic Touch 4G's running calk's GB 3.0 Rom. I can mount one, but can't mount the other. The problem just started happening a couple of weeks ago. I tried reinstalling the drivers on my computer and have tried flashing a new ROMs, but my phone still won't mount. It charges just fine.
I don't think it's a driver problem since my other et4g mounts just fine. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks in advance for your help!
Try multi sd from the Market, should help mounting your phone for now. Have you tried different cords, USB ports, computers?

I've tried different cords, usb ports and reinstalling the drivers. I have yet to try my other comp. I'll give that a go as well as the multi-sd from the market and see if that works. Thx for the reply slick_rick.

I did. I've been experimenting with a few ICS roms over the last couple of weeks to see if that would fix the issue. Still unable to mount. I just recently went back to GB.

When I uncheck USB Debugging, the phone recognizes the MTP-Connection. When I check USB Debugging all it does is charge.

Yes!! Found something that worked! Thanks to PatrickBay over at Android Central and thanks to all that replied!
PatrickBay @ Android Central....
I had the same problem over the last few months and it progressively got worse. Yesterday, try as I may (and I tried all of the software-based fixes I could find), nothing would work. Even the charger would no longer juice it up.
That made me think that it could actually be a physical problem, not a software one. So I looked at the micro USB port and the slot in the middle (the tongue, if you will), seemed to be tilted too far down. I stuck a glasses flathead screwdriver (one of those really slim ones) in there and bent the connector upwards so that it was roughly in the center of the cavity. Plugged the cable back in and, lo and behold, all functionality fully restored!
I would caution that if you're doing this, do it as a last resort, and do it gently since you're forcing something that's fairly delicate.
I've noticed this problem on other Nexus phones and I chalk it up to the way that the micro USB slot is unsupported (so it can bend easily).

Like kenny said get a better cable and redownload the files... oh and repartition shouldn't have been checked since you were already on BML and is used to go back to that. :/
Auto reboot is the ONLY thing that should be checked. Redownload the files and try it with a better cable if you don't have one stop now or get ready to bury the phone.

Because the front is a hub usb port and the usb's in the back are direct on the mobo. Certain computers are picky some like the front over the back ones.

i have tried everything and the phone is still not being recognized....i have uninstalled and installed again.....i have used 4 diffrent computers 2 of them will not recognize the device and the other two get stuck on boot.bin....i really need some assistance....
ok so i think the issue is that usb debugging is not enabled?.....the only problem is that the first two computers i use read the phone and so does odin....these two keep saying unrecognized device....i would toggle it on but like i said before the screen will not turn on....just gives me a dim black screen....
So I was rooting my friends phone, and accidently forgot to remove the check mark next to repartition when installing cwm, now the phone will not install any roms, and will not return to stock through Odin. Gets stuck at factoryfs.rfs, and will not process any further. Any advice?
Get the victory.pit and odin again with rfepartition checked... I spent 3 days TRYING to brick this phone and couldn't... just keep trying... different cables, ports, etc....
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk 2
I tried that... have been using the PIT the whole time.. even repartitioned by itself which went through fine. Still hangs at factory, when I power on the phone it is a blank screen... tried two computers, and every port... set odin as admin, and running it in compatibility mode...
It sounds insane but really just keep trying because eventually it should work. It took me a whole day once but eventually I rebooted a lot and got the cord port combo, and the grace of a religious deity correct. As long as nothing blows up while doing the repartition nothing really bad should happen since you can always flash recoveries and kernels through Odin anyway. Good luck and happy flashing!

If I plug the USB in the back it will sometimes recognize the device however it fails on drivers. Kies WiFi works fine. I'd like to get the 4.1 update on there for her though.

Mine has done that a few times for me. Not sure what it is when you hold the power button for 10+ seconds (reset/reboot/etc), but found if I do that the phone reboots and the phone connects again to computer. regular old reset and or battery pull didn't work for me, only the long press power reboot.

I've tried several... 3 cables here in front of me and no dice. I guess I should point out besides the 4.1 update. Transferring movies and music would be a bit quicker via mtp. It sounds like this driver issue is abnormal. Perhaps I'll just see if we can get it exchanged. If you guys have any other idea? Would be great to hear them. I may just sneak it and root while she is asleep put a clean ROM on it.

I was having a similar issue and uninstalling and then reinstalling all the drivers, software, etc. didn't work for me. But this did;
http://blog.vacs.fr/index.php?post/...ot-detected-problem-on-Android-Samsung-phones
Resolution
1. Unplug the USB cable
2. On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284#
Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode.
The good mode should be PDA. Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.
3. Plug the USB cable.
Hi Guys, I recently Purchased a USB OTG cable for my galaxt s4 Running Goosh v1.0 and Deviant Kernel.
My phone recognizes the cable when plugged in, but doesn't recognize my flash drive or anything else plugged to it, So my question is that do I need a Rom that supports it, a kernel or what. I have also downloaded usb otg helper from the play store and it says device not found..And also what format does the Flash Drive have to be in .??
I remember back with my sensation it was kernel related. It works with wicked v4 for sure. As far as the flash idk... All my flash drives have been recognized without me having to format.

Well here I am. I'm brand new, so hello! I'm Tom.
I'm on Windows 8.2 trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
I've seen a LOT of posts exactly like this, and I've tried absolutely everything I've seen suggested, yet I always end up getting stuck on < waiting for device > in the command prompt while trying to root, with nothing changing on my phone screen.
Every single time! I've used every method I've seen(including superboot), and resorted to manually navigating through Android SDK, only to reach
"< waiting for device >"
I've been at it for three hours after deciding that one of you (or more) skilled folks could definitely help me on my way to rooting.
Now, I'm not afraid to say that I'm new to executing this process. I've read up on it plenty, but putting it into practice has been troublesome for me, and if you could offer explicit instruction, it would be best.
Thank you kindly!
(Yes, it is in fastboot mode at the time of attempted rooting/fastbooting)
(Yes, USB Debugging through developer options is on)
Sounds like a driver issue but your phone is detected.. Weird but I think you should check your drivers.

This may sound silly, but is it a driver issue on my phone, or on my computer?
And is there a guide on how I might go about fixing it?
(I took the time to re-install the USB Driver directly from Samsung website, if that's what you mean.
On your pc Just use device manager to see if there is any yellow exclamation mark by your device when its plugged in. If there is you need to update the driver manually. For that: all hail google lol

Use a different USB cable and try different ports.
I tried a different port, no luck there. It still attempts to start fastboot and stops at "< waiting for device >" - like before.
What does using a different USB cable change? I've yet to do it (but I will within two hours), and I don't see what difference it could make.
Thank you though. The help is very much appreciated.

A diffrent usb cable works because magic minions in your computer recognize the new usb cable and then go and install the right driver. No seriously I have no idea but it might work.

I have had a cord go bad before. Funny thing is that it would charge just fine. Trust me sometimes it can be the cord.
Also I have heard of the phones USB port having a couple of bent pins. This can result in the behavior you're experiencing. The phone will charge just fine but can't be recognised by the PC. If they are bent back into shape everything will be fine.
Wouldn't it prove that the USB Drivers were functioning properly from being able to sync files, use adb commands, etc?
I'm definitely going to try it - in about an hour - but I still question what makes it work.

In the meantime, I spoke to a friend, and we came to the conclusion that the version of Android SDK i'm using could be too new - the Galaxy Nexus was a product of 2011, after all.
Perhaps if I install an older version of SDK (however that's possible) I'll be able to root successfully? Just an idea.

I talked to a sales associate at my local mall, and he suggested I try http://www.cyanogenmod.org/ and it worked flawlessly. My phone is now unlocked, running CyanogenMod, and running Kitkat 4.4.
Thanks to everyone for the help! I hope all of your days are great.
