SGN won't mount - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

After solving this problem I got a new one. My SGN won't mount even though I have USB debugging on. Windows both 64bit and 32bit won't recognize it. I try to install/reinstall the drivers but I can't since the phone won't mount. I haven't found any similar problems to this for SGN. Any suggestions/directions?
Thanks in advance.
p.s. I started a new thread since this is a different problem and probably not connected to the previous. I hope that's ok.

Just starting with the basics here. But have you tried a different USB port? If it's a desktop, the ones in the back (directly connected to the motherboard) are usually your best bet.
Second, are you using the stock cable? I've had problems with a few phones I've worked on that didn't like communicating with non factory cable.

I have tested every usb port both in my PC and laptop. I have used two different cables and I tried both Windows and Linux (Ubuntu). The cables are fine, my HTC Desire connects just fine. The phones charges but not connecting and this happened an hour ago after solving the previous problem I mentioned it the first post. So I'm 99% sure that the problem is about the device, not the PC/Laptop.
Read the connected thread to get the history of what happened. After returning to stock ICS I got the message for the JB update. Updated and now the phone works fine except the USB debugging and the fact that I don't have CWM atm. I can't install it either because I need to mount the phone. :/
Thanks for the quick reply though.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that the device when connected does nothing, doesn't matter if I have USB debugging on or off.

Just out of curiosity are you using a legal with fast charge turn on because you can't mount the phone and use fast charge. If so turn it off and try again.

I had a similar problem and had to go buy a data microUSB to USB cable from RadioShack, instead of using the cable that connects to a charger.

You can install ROM Manager from the app store and flash CMW Recovery from there.

I said "app store", wtf! I never even owned an iphone, lol. Here's the link to what you need: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDMsImNvbS5rb3VzaGlrZHV0dGEucm9tbWFuYWdlciJd
Once installed, go to the app, the top option will flash CMW Recovery to your phone.

No problem.
I was unable to mount with my Razr after I factory wiped to sell it a few weeks back. I wanted to make sure my SD ext had been wiped with the reset, but it wouldn't mount. Performed another factory reset and that solved the problem. That was with stock OTA ICS though.
However, I'm not sure that would help you much in this case since it looks like you did a clean install.

I've been having some trouble with this too. My phone does connect and "mount" (that's not exactly what happens, since it uses MTP rather than USB Mass Storage), but it always takes a while. The phone device shows up immediately, but the actual storage (shown under the phone device) always takes a minute or so to show up. It works just fine after that, but it's still pretty annoying to have to wait. I don't think I had this behavior before JB.

Mine does that too but what I've noticed is that if I have a screen lock/pin set that I have to unlock it first before it will show up

Oh, you're right! Just checked to make sure, and that's exactly what's going on. The internal storage shows up the second I unlock the phone, and if it's already unlocked when I connect it the storage shows up immediately. Guess I've always unlocked the phone after a while when it hasn't seemed to be working in the past, to check that it's indeed connected using MTP, but just haven't realized that unlocking it is what makes it show up. But that actually makes perfect sense, of course - you wouldn't want anyone to be able to access the files on a locked phone by just connecting it to a computer.

+1. Fast Charge could be enabled by your kernel. If you use the Franco update app or Trinity kernel control you should check that.

USB detection when connected to computer not working!(*POSSIBLY FIXED*)

- I think I found a fix and it was quite easy to be honest. All I did was reinstall HTC SYNC and my computer is recognizing my phone now. Only thing is, i'm pretty sure if you want to use adb you had to uninstall this.
- Another solution is to update the RADIO on your phone to the newest version. (CREDIT GOES TO HAZAKINS FOR FINDING THIS)
I successfully rooted 2.2 today with the new guide. The first rom I flashed was RevE and noticed that when I plugged in my usb, to my computer, the notification bar would show up with the option of mounting or charging and then disappear after a second. Not only that, the phone didn't charge at all while connected and the notification bar was clear and didn't tell me whether I was charging only, ect even though it usually does.
The only way I am able to access my SD card is strictly through recovery now by mounting the usb. Other than that, there is no other way for me to access my SD card. Let me be clear that YES I have tried more than one USB port and usb cable but still there has been no luck. Let me also add that it was working fine before rooting.
Also, I just flashed to CM R2 successfully and the same issue still exists. I'm not really sure what else to do.
One interesting thing, if this means anything, that I found, was that I saw the My HTC drivers in device manager only when I accessed my SD card through recovery, it never appeared when I tried to connect my phone to my computer outside of recovery.
So, I'm not really sure what else to do. I have rebooted both my phone and my computer and I am really leaning towards the fact that it may have to do with the My HTC drivers. The thing is though, add or remove programs doesn't show My HTC when my phone is connected to the homescreen. But, I did manage to uninstall it while in recovery mode and as soon as I went back to the homescreen the driver installed so fast that I couldn't stop it from installing.
So, I have no idea what to do
I just confirmed that I am not the only one with this issue in IRC. We both narrowed it down to the driver being the issue. I'm not sure how exactly I can delete it though because it only shows up for an instant and then disappears. It isn't even in add or remove programs.
When you connect your phone, try toggling the USB Debugging off and then back on. I had similar problem (not exactly the same) and this is what worked for me.

I actually had this exact same problem... all the way up until I tried a different usb port... so I guess I got lucky.
But the one port was working fine up until I put the new ROM on it. Then it stopped working. Then I had to use a different port. I was able to do that... But now after phone reboot and PC reboot, 1st usb port works fine.
I hope it starts working for you.
I did same thing having same problem, I even downloaded another rom with rom manager and installed it, still same problem. When I plug in my USB cord it will pop up for a second on the phone to ask my charge or drive the goes away before i can do anything.

basically sums up my issue.
OK Here is the fix, buy a mini sdcard reader copy the pc36img file to your sdcard using this reader, install back in phone boot into recovery and let it update, then startover root process, this worked for me, I haven't update to 2.2 yet, but I got usb back

My fix was to get rid of the extension USB cable extender I was using. Apparently the signal degrades too much across it. I tried 3 different extender cables too.

I did that, twice, and the same issue is occurring.
Also having the same problem after the 2.2 down grade.
Same problem
I can't mount my SDcard either. I followed the new video tutorial to get root on phones that came with 2.2. I think something went wrong when i got that out of memory write error. I have tried two different computers and all their usb spots. I have not been able to mount sd card yet. It does charge however. Any ideas as what to do?? Oddly enough i was able to get Amon-ra recovery flashed so doesn't that mean i have full root??
Seems like a good amount of people are having this issue. If someone comes across a fix please share!!!
Try uninstalling My HTC and HTC Installer Drivers (I forgot the exact name) and then reinstalling HTC SYNC.
Got mine to work
on some other forum someone tried flashing the radios to the newest version and fixed the problem. I tried this as well and came back here to let you guys know that it worked for me also.
here is a link to the radio files.

Easy fix: Uninstall the HTC software, then reinstall it.
This should reinstall the driver for your EVO.
the HTC software uninstall and reinstall didnt work for me. Wish it would have.

USB cable charges the phone, but doesn't connect to PC

Hi.
I've been using my HOX for about 2 weeks and it's currently running ViperX 1.0.1 with the latest Faux 004 Beta 7 kernel. The problem I have is that, when I connect my HOX to the computer via an Micro-USB cable (either the one that came with the phone, or another Micro-USB cable) the phone just starts to charge and it doesn't prompt what type of connection I want to use (Only charge, file transfer etc).
The setting that it should ask for a connection type is turned on, standard connection is set to "Only charge" at the moment (but I have tried every other option also), and USB debugging is turned on as well.
The computer doesn't recognize storage device either, and HTC sync can't find the phone. I've tried to restart both the phone and computer, re-install HTC sync, clear Cache and Dalvik, uninstalling the backup app I'm usually using and also SystemTuner by 3C, but without any better results.
This is the first time I experience this problem. It started to behave like this yesterday. Everyday before that, it all worked as intended :/ The only thing I remember that I've done is to update Faux kernel to Beta 7 (from Beta 6) and installing SystemTuner which I didn't have installed before.
I have tried three Micro-USB cables, several USB ports on my computer and also other computers. So it's something with the phone I suppose.
I read somewhere about another person having this problem and someone told him it could be because "fast charge" is enabled in the kernel. But from what I've understood, the Faux kernel I'm using doesn't support fast charge option.
I'll be very glad for every help possible to resolve this issue, thanks!
Settings - connect to pc
Have you checked that "ask me" is on? Otherwise it uses the default mode which is usually "only charge"...
Edit: oww you tried that already... I don't know then... Maybe you should test it with the older kernel

Thanks for the reply. Ye, I've had that one enabled all the time. I guess I should try using the older kernel and see if it works, then I know what caused it at least
I will do that and come back here and tell you all how it goes! Since I can't transfer the file over from the computer to phone, I have to download the file directly from the phone, so it takes a little longer.
Okay, so I have now installed the "old" kernel that I used before and that I know worked (Faux 004 beta 6) but it still doesn't work, so I guess it's not anything associated with the kernel.
Any more ideas what I should try? I guess I could try restoring a previous backup from when I knew it worked, but I will probably only do that if there's not any other way to fix it - as a last resort.
Your phones usb connector could be broken or just dirty...
I tried to search even more about other people having this problem but couldn't find any real solution to it. So I did a Nandroid restore to a date when I knew it worked, and now it all works fine again!
Not sure what I did to make it not work, but if it happen again, I will try to remember what caused it

USB connectivity issues

ATT Galaxy S3
SGH-i747m
4.0.4
kyanROM 1.3
I am currently unable to connect my phone to a PC or MAC using the usb cable. I have tried just about everything I can think of with no luck.
what I have tried so far is:
restarting my computer and phone
different computers mac and pc.
different usb cable
uninstalling and reinstalling samsung drivers from PC
tried switching from mtp, to ptp, to adb, using phoneutility (*#7284#)
pulled battery
wiped cache partition
fixed permissions
I even booted the phone into download mode and connected to odin.
I see nothing.
any ideas? I am at a loss. I cant find any info or similar case.
edit: i also tried downloading kies and using the connection troubleshooting utility.. no luck
usb debugging is on but tried with it off as well.
I've been having the same issue on my Win7 home premium.
The phone is charging but can't see folders.
It works on OSX as a Camera though.Click on "Connected as a media device" from the pulldown menu and select "Camera", youll also need a program on OSX. Go to
androidDOTcom/filetransfer/ (i'm under 10 posts so probably can't post links)

did this problem started since you flashed Kyan rom 1.3 cause I had the same problem a few weeks ago and I recently flashed the latest CM10 rom and everything works fine now. Does your phone charge when you plug it?.
My phone charges when I plug it in.
I can't be sure if this only happend after I flashed kyanROM 1.3.
That is definitely something I did since the last time it was pluged into a computer.
Maybe ill just flash cm10.

Sounds like it may indeed be a problem with the phone's hardware. You might want to try taking it into the store to see if they can reproduce.
i re-flashed my phone using an old backup from when i knew usb connectivity was working,
still not working.
Brought the phone to an ATT device support center while on stock rooted rom.
They didn't realize the phone was rooted and they couldn't re-flash my phone without usb connectivity so I got it replace.
I am going to run stock rom for a bit... maybe until the official jelly bean release.
then maybe ill go back to Kyanrom or cm10... any suggestions?
Ilso I am not sure what created my usb issue.
I think it was my regular use of an old iPad power brick.
I am going to only use the stock charger from now on and hope that problem doesn't come back.

Had the same problem, but my work machine has never once gave me a problem, the one at home does this exact same thing, it maybe a phone hardware problem if you see it doing it on another machine, but I dunno, only reason I haven't fixed the home issue is, I do NOT want to re-install win7, my linux box see's it perfect every time also. I read somewhere in a forum, that it is a samung/microsoft driver bug. It is stored in the registry somewhere, what I saw was I had it working perfectly, then I plugged in my MyTouch to push a stock rom onto it, and then the next time I went to plug in the SG3 the problem started. Windows acts real stupid when you continuously keep plugging in different devices all the time. But then again, you said you tried it on a mac. Humm! Again, this is my opinion only.
same problem i have with no solution need help also please
same problem i have without any solution i need help please
Had the same problem, but with a brand new SGS3 with the stock ROM and cable. Plugged in my Nexus 7 cable instead and that works for some reason. Will bother best buy about it I guess.
got the same issue. tried to sync some files over from the gs3 to my laptop and it only charges the phone, does not recognize it . tried several cables and tried on my desktop, nothing. now im in search cuz this kinda sucks. i flashed CM10 ROM2 and it stopped working for me after that, tried restoring back to rooted stock TW but nothing still. still looking for a fix.
One thing I noticed is that all the computers where I'm having issues are running win7. One win7 home premium and the other win7 pro.
In the office I have XP pro and it recognizes the phone with no problems.

[Q] Phone not detected by computer when connected via USB

I was flashing several different ROMs last week so I could try them out first hand. I settled on Universe ROM.

Yeah, I've tried those steps before, again and again, on different PCs with different cables, using a nice high quality one now, still no dice. even when i go turn on USB Storage in settings i still get no detection by any computer.

I have a similar issue. This happened just after I rooted my phone. No USB connetion.....more or less. I'm now running Windows 8 and when I installed the drivers and connected my phone Windows starts the installation and it detects the SAMSUNG USB Composite Device and the SAMSUMG Mobile Modem but I can't access the SD card or internal memory. I changed the cable and reinstalled the drivers. I even installed Kies and it says that my device is not supported....any more ideas?
have you checked to see if you are in the "AP" mode when you dial ##8778#, you need to have a stock dialer for the codes to work on some custom roms the dialer codes will not work.
Default is set to"AP"
"AP" <----....xfer files
"CP" is used when programing to other carriers..etc...via CDMA Workshop.......
"ALL" <-----some people like to use this setting
didn't work

I had the problem when I was running the ParanoidAndroid ROM, I couldnt tell you how many times I odin'd EL26 and clean flashed. My usb worked fine after flash until I installed my apps using TB. So I went app for app, installed an app, plugged into my laptop. For me it was the simi clock widget whenever I installed that it would no longer link up to computer. I uninstalled it and am now back to normal.
Same here with Jedi Jelly 4 |4.1.2||Flashbar|| 1|17
Please help.
Samsung phone are REALLY picky about what cables you use. Some cables will only charge the device when you plug into USB, others will allow you to interface with a PC. The stock cable that came with your E4GT is the best to use, also the HTC smartphone microUSB cables work too. Hit and miss with LG and Motorola cables.
Do you have extweaks on that rom? If so you can force it to hook up thru the usb settings section.
When I originally rooted the same thing happened. It was almost like it had no setting to hook up to a PC. Only fix I found was driver sweeping the pc, reinstall the drivers, and switching roms untill one hooked up again. Repeat the driver sweep for each rom. It was a hassle but it worked. Landed on the blu kuban.

really? because I've been having the same issue and I haven't done any mods or anything with my phone yet...pretty stock. But I took it to a boost near me and the clerk plugged it at it got detected in no time.
I plugged other devices into the same USB_port with the same cable and the port and cable seem to be fine in my computer and no go, got the latest driver still nothing, and at some point I tryed to older drivers and still nothing.
I guess i'll have to try another uUSB cable. I only have one laying around
am running Vista x64, the pc at the store was running 7 x64 btw, not sure if that makes any difference

Samsung phone are REALLY picky about what cables you use. Some cables will only charge the device when you plug into USB, others will allow you to interface with a PC.

I've had same issue with Samsung Galaxy S4 (I9506). After a week of trying all available custom and official rom's I've followed pariah1570 advice to uninstall some apps and it worked! Great thanks. I don't know yet which app caused this problem, but I'm installing it one by one and checking.

[Q] Options For Connecting To PC Are Missing

Device and Software: HTC Inspire 4g, JellyTime r29(previously Android Revolution HD 6.3.1)
Problem:
Cannot choose how to connect to PC(no usb options appear on the phone), the phone starts charging as soon as I plug it in.
Possible Cause:
I connected my phone to a USB port on a car stereo and my phone and the stereo kept flipping back and forth between screens. I disconnected the phone immediately, but the USB connected icon was still in my notification bar. I restarted the phone and everything seemed fine until I tried to plug my phone in 3 days ago.
Things I've Tried Already:
-Restarting the phone
-Pulling the battery
-Trying different USB Ports
-Trying different cables
-Trying different PCs
-Trying USB Debugging both on and off
-Trying fastboot on and off
-Trying an "auto-mount" app(Multi-Mount SD)
-Trying "USB Mass Storage" App for Jelly Bean
-Setting Disk Drive mode as default and turning the "Ask Me" option on and off
-Reflashing the ROM (followed these directions for flashing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257731)
-Flashing the USB fix found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24198708&postcount=90
-Flashing a new ROM
-Searching for a solution(derp).
Try a different ROM?

I was thinking about it, but this one has been working fine for months so It seems unlikely to me that that's the cause, especially when i haven't come across anyone running the same ROM with the same problem.
I'll still think about it, I dunno what ROM I'd switch to though. I liked CyanogenMod 7 but that one wouldn't run videos correctly for some reason :\

Not really sure how that's relevant, but ok.

I have had ROMs get glitchy over time; no idea why, but I have seen it happen. And I think that second line is just his signature.

Its my xda signature. You can edit it in the xda ap settings

Ah, most forums have a bar separating the signature from the post so I was confused lol.
Just flashed JellyTime, I still have the same problem :\.
It charges fine right?

Yup. I just tried using USB Mass Storage app for JB, and that doesn't work either, although apparently the app does know that the USB is plugged in.
Most likely a port problem on your device. Go to a repair shop and see how much they charge

Well that sucks. I did get it to come up once by flashing a rooted stock rom, but when I selected disk drive nothing showed up on my PC, and when I disconnected it and reconnected it the icon wouldn't show up anymore XP
.:Edit:.
I just realized I put this in the wrong forum .

Try going to a fully stock state (S-ON, stock no root) and see if it helps. If not, definitely a port problem.

How do you do that without being able to connect to the PC?
Flash an RUU. I'll ask someone from the Ace Think Tank to help you, they're the best
If I find a link to an RUU ill post it. Where you from in the world?

I found this one(the bottom one), but it says I have to be connected to a PC to get it to work. Also, I'm from America.
First flash a different rom see if the same issue happens in that rom. You can also boot into recovery and try mounting the sd card before flashing a ruu. You may also want to reinstall the drivers for your phone (the drivers on your pc).

I've reinstalled the drivers that come with the Advanced Ace Hack Kit multiple times. Do you think I should I uninstall them and use the stock drivers?

Yeah, sorry about that. I skimmed through the post. After submitting the reply I saw that you already tried a different rom. You could give that a shot, installing htc sync. Have you tried the sd card on a different phone, or connected directly to the computer or a different sd card on your phone? Besides this I'm out of ideas.

Yup, the SD card works on my old Samsung Rant. I'll try installing the stock drivers, thanks for trying to help.
Ahh Tei has joined the party
I'm still sticking with a port replacement, it's the last thing that's left (as far as I can think of)
