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.

Reinstall your drivers or try rebooting your computer

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.

And just a queston about the usb cords.
Do they stop working completely or does ur phone still charge when its plugged in? Cuz m phone still charges just dosnt connect the sd card to the computer

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.

Can't connect epic touch to pc (neither usb storage or download)

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)?

It does charge on the computer and ive tried device manager however t still doesnt show. Im running aokp build 37 with kobridges battery tweaks

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

GS3 doesn't know it's hooked to PC

So I plug my phone into my computer and it doesn't realize it's connected. It charges, but I can't access the storage from my computer. The USB debugging doesn't even come up anymore.
I've tried 2different computers and 3 different USB cables. Tried multipled ROMs and stock. Reinstalled drivers. Restarted PC. No go. It was working fine up until yesterday.
I'm probably going to get it exchanged since it's still within the return window, but does anyone have any ideas?

Download the driver's again worked for me

Yeah, I tried that also. No go. Thanks.

I'm having the same problem. It just stopped working today after I restored from a Nandroid backup. I was on the AOKP rom, then restored back to the stock rom. I'm going to try to re-install the drivers.

I got mine working. Removed and re-installed the Samsung drivers. I then restarted the phone with it attached to my PC and it recognized it after that. I also reformatted the cache storage in "Mounts & Storage" in CWM. That didn't do anything initially but could have helped, I'm not sure.

This happens to me occasionally. Pulling the battery seems to fix it for me.

Did you by chance use QPSt to backup your IMEI? If so you need to set usb settings back to MTP

OH! That was it for me Tysvm

Awesome glad I could help. And between you and I, I did the same thing and took a bit to realize. Lol. Maybe the OP did same thing. Will see
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app

Going back to MTP wasn't enough, I had to pull the battery, even after rebooting the phone. Had been prepping to backup my IMEI #, so that was obvious the root cause though.

Battery pull worked. Thanks guys

[Q] Please help!!!

Everytime i try to copy anything over to my phone from my laptop i get an odd message saying "the device has either stopped responding or has been unplugged." Ive tried restarting my comp, restarting my phone, i switched USB cords, i switched the USB outlet i was plugged into, i tried unchecking and rechecking USB debugging, reinstalling the LG drivers. i tried everything. Please someone help...

The message your getting has me baffled, but usually it's the cord. It still could, be even though you tried a different one. Another option might be to try different lg drivers.

I used 3 different cords. Amd i swapped out the drivers too. I dunno what to do. I'm so pissed.

There's 3 different version drivers here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35520144. Maybe you've tried them all I don't know. If you have adb installed... does it recognize your phone?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

Yup, recognizes my phone fine. I was able to root and unlock just fine. And i can copy from phone to comp but not comp to phone... so weird.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

Very weird. When you plug in the USB cord, have you tried both media and camera options? In that dropdown menu...I can't remember what they're called.
I just remembered, I did have a similar issue, but I was running Linux.

You say adb works just use adb push. It would be adb push (file on your computer) /sdcard (note: do not use parenthesis when running the command)
P.S if it says sdcard is a directory use /sdcard/download.

this is plaguing me as well. tried several different cords/drivers - I just got this phone and have not been able to mount it.. its a replacement phone. It does not mount in recovery, either (it hangs on 'updating partition details') and it fails when I try to Partition it

Rooting without USB

I recently got a used T-Mobile S 2 and just tried to root it. The computer will not see the phone when I hook it up to the USB. I've tried the Odin method and it won't even register it's plugged in. I've installed and reinstalled kies 3 times and I've even tried just installing the drivers by themselves. Is there a way to root the phone without having to use the USB? I'm guessing the USB connector on the phone is bad even though it's charges just fine.

If it charges ur fine, is the device in DL mode? What is the procedure u are using, with this phone the only way to root it is Odin, or maybe adb but I'm not sure, and if u have kies installed on ur pc Odin won't see the phone I repeat remove kies, once ur rooted u will never use it again anyway kies interferes with Odin, make sure u have the OEM USB cord too...

I'm using the volume up+down with the power button to access the download screen with Odin and it never reads that the phone is plugged in. I've uninstalled Kies and still doesn't work. Now I've noticed that I can only go into the e3 recovery mode.

So the phone accesses doenlode mode? Try holding just the vol+vol- buttons and plugging it in to the USB while connected to PC, that should put u in DL mode, if not it might be ur port, have u tried all other ports and different usb wires? Sorry if my questions are trivial but I need all the info if I'm going to help

Yeah I've tried 3 different cables and 2 different computers. I'm leaning towards the USB Jack. I took the phone apart and found corrosion on the board towards the bottom so it looks like the phone has some water damage.

Thats most likely ur culprit then, it may be just corroded enough to not hit the right pins to push data through odin, u could try to replace the USB com, u can get one for around 30bucks online and its an easy fix if u have a lil knowledge, the bad news is without it rooting is next to impossible ...

I mean if u don't want to try the fix u could try rooting it through wireless adb but that's a long shot at best, just started using wireless adb an not even sure if its possible to root it like that but u could look into it...
