Usually when I plug my E4GT in, it allows me to go into USB storage mode, but now after I switched my phone to boost, It says this instead, what can i do to fix this?
There is a USB switcher app in the play store. You can switch from MTP to mass storage.

I'll try it out, thanks : D

No problem.

Try to go into Settings-Applications-Development and enable USB debugging. This should disable MTP and allow you to into Settings-Wireless and network-USB utilities and manually select mass USB storage.
I already tried that before I posted this thread and when I pressed it said to remove USB, im going to try that app out when I get home

Guessing you are obviously rooted so why not try ExTweaks (free from the playstore). There is a setting to enable USB Mass Storage by default in the IO/USB settings portion.

Found the solution, when I was flashing my E4GT to boost, I changed a setting and forgot to change it back. I pressed ##8778# and changed it back to AP from CP. Thanks everyone for the help.

I have the E4GT non-root w/ ICS. My phone still does not give me any other options other then MTP or PTP. Even tried turning on and off USB debugging. Could use some assistance, thanks in advance...
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Thank you so much for posting this response. I did the same thing and could not get MTP mode to work and now I feel like an idiot because I thought that I somehow fubared something on the device. I didn't fubar it, I just forgot to follow all of the instructions. Thanks as I tried variations on MTP windows 7 and Epic 4g Touch to no avail and then I found this thread and it really, really made my night. If I was employed at the moment, I would honestly offer you enough to buy a beer. My thanks will have to do! Once again, thanks.

so my phone doesnt show up on any computer i connect it to and i tried several usbs. the phone says its connected but nothing popped up on the computer. i want to odin it but it wont show on odin when its in download mode either. i tried formatting it and even connecting while in cwm but nothing is working. can someone please help me out if they ever dealt with a smiilar situation. thanks
also i do have the driver installed on my cmoputer and i have done this many times before. the phone works perfectly normal just the usb wont connect. i am running eh17 modem with randomrom hawk v4. i hope this information helps if anything else is needed just tell me.
this is exactly what happens
when im not in debug mode
it connects normally and i choose mass storage and when it says connect i press on it and it "loads" and just automatically connects without having a pop up saying "all files on sd card will not be reachable" or something like that where i have to press "ok"
and when i am in debug mode
it connects normally and the pop up even comes up and asks if im sure and i press "ok" and it says connected but on the computer theres nothing.

i tried both and same result
When you say you tried several usb's, do you mean several usb ports on the pc or several usb cords? Try both. The stock usb cable is garbage. I have 2 epics in my household and both stock usb cords stopped working properly fairly quickly.

They stopped hooking to the pc first, and eventually stopped charging as well.

I just tried the same usb on a different model phone and it connected normally. I'm not sure what the problem is now.
and just tp make sure my prioblem wasnt from the usb cord i just bought a new one and still its not working.
Make sure your not using a launcher that will hide notification bar, I just made a tip thread in general for this problem, which may or may not help you
Now it will work ever now and again ( 1out of 10 times maybe), but if you use TW launcher it will work every single time. I'm looking into why hiding the noty bar borks USB/sdcard mounting.
I had a similiar problem where it would not connect with usb debugging on. I had to go into control panel and device manager, find the connection with USB debugging on, and then hit update driver from Windows Update. Took about 30 minutes but all worked fine after that.

It may be "Other" or Samsung Android. Does your computer make the connect sound? There should be something in the USBs if it does.

Make sure to use the same port you installed the drivers on. There also may be dirt in your usb on your phone.

you have to go to
settings/wireless and network/usb utilities/connect storage to pc
It will ask you to connect cable, then you can choose usb mass storage.

Is the computer recognizing the.phone? Once USB debugging is checked you should be able to pull down the notification bar and make your selection.

It worked about 2 weeks ago however when i try to connect my phone now it wont recognize. Ive tried 3 different cables and two different computers. Ive also reinstalled the drivers many times. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
OK, basic troubleshooting:
1) Does it charge when you plug in power? (If so the port should be working on the phone.)
2) Does it show anything at all when you plug into the PC?
3) Did you check Device Manager and notice if any devices are disabled or showing as unknown?
1 basic question: what are you running (Stock, custom rom)?

Mb you should start fresh with SFHUB's EL29 w/ root. Probably an issue with AOKP. Or if you don't want to do all that maybe you can try a different kernel and see if that works.
Thats a good idea, but how would you go about doing that without using a pc? I cant get my computer to recognize the phone in download mode

Please delete the problem has been solved by purchased a Blackberry micro-USB cable. Thank you all.
The epic is very finicky and needs a good cable like a Blackberry cable. Also make sure to use the ports in the rear of a desktop. Look in the port on the phone to make sure the connector is clean.

I would also try disabling USB debugging. One of my computers won't connect if it's on. On my other computer it doesn't seem to matter.
Try going to your dial pad and typing ##8778# and make sure your phone is connected via PDA and NOT modem. I had same problem as you and this worked for me.

I recently updated my Note 2 SPH-L900 to Android 4.3. At first everything went well until when I went to root it it seems though my phone recognizes its been plugged in as a media device to my computer it says that there is no program that can access its files. I've activated USB debugging as well as put it to MTP+ADB under the Qualcomm USB settings and then selected to use MTP. Did I click a wrong setting? My phone will charge when plugged in to my computer. Odin also does not recognize my phone. Any help to fix this problem is greatly appreciated.
USB debugging is MTP+ADB. When you put it back on MTP you took it off USB debugging.

I didn't take it off of MTP+ADB. One I pressed save and reset I plugged my phone in and touched the USB button in the status bar then I selected mtp for media device instead of ptp for camera. Yet despite having the right settings my note 2 states that it is unable to find software on my computer that can recognize my phone. I'm using Windows 7 with the Samsung USB phone drivers installed already. This problem only started when I updated to the 4.3 update. Hopefully this information helps a bit more then my previous post.
