So I'm attempting to root the Continuum, but for some reason the phone won't effectively connect to Windows 7. For example, when I hook the phone up to my Samsung i7 laptop, all the phone does is charge. It doesn't even ask me if I would like to use usb storage or anything. The computer also doesn't recognize the device. Any ideas? Thanks!
A couple questions first:
- Did you install the Continuum drivers?
- Does your phone bring up the USB connection in the status bar?
- Does it bring up the Verizon VCast website on connection?

1. I likely did not install the Continuum drivers, and I have no clue where to get them. I'm assuming Samsung's website, but it's a bit hard to figure out and navigate...
2. My phone does not bring up the USB connection in the status bar.
3. When I go to the browser, it brings up the Verizon website with news, etc.
It should probably be stated as well that this phone is not activated. I am using it on wifi only for the time being because I traded it with a friend for another phone.
Alright, so I've figured it out. Strangely enough, I was just using a generic USB to microUSB cable, and I actually needed to use a Samsung cable. Weird, right?

So...now that I'm rooted, how in the world do I install a custom rom? I saw that there's a ClockworkMod Recovery out, but what does "Odin" mean? I'm coming from an LG Optimus V and have extensive experience rooting and installing custom roms and recoveries, but I've never heard of that before. Thanks again!
First, we dont have much for custom roms on this phone. The couple we do have contain fairly well written "how-to's" for them.
Second, if you are not sure, do some research and find out as many answers with the vast pool of knowlendge at your fingertips (the interwebs) as you can. There has already been a swarm of questions asked, and I am sure the answers may already be there for you.
I am waiting for the update and Froyo roms to come out before I bother with custom roms, but I am not holding my breath for that. I will probably be on my next Android phone before I will bother. Modding it up with Widgetlocker, ADW Launcher, and some other goodies at the moment to tide me over.
I had this same problem today. USB mass storage wasn't working, adb wasn't working. I wasn't using the samsung cable, but I can't see how that would make a difference, as the cable I was using has worked for literally a couple dozen different phones from different manufacturers - including other samsungs. I had the samsung drivers installed.
The owner claims that only media sync works on his computer as well, and that usb mass storage has never worked. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
i am also getting this problem. as far as i know i am still using the samsung cable, as normal micro-usb cables dont fit in the continuums port. ill look for another one, but this is quite odd. what i have done (all windows 7 64 bit):
drivers uninstalled
drivers installed
lagfix on
lag fix off
factory reset (within adrenalyne's rom)
i am going to try to transfer the stock rom via bluetooth and see if that works
edit: turns out that isnt possible without odi recognizing the device, which it doesnt (not even in download mode). this is very peculiar
some more information: nothing even shows up in device manager. no unknown devices, nothing. the phone charges, but thats it. i might go to the verizon store and see if i can get another cable
My guess is because you are using a 64 bit version of windows..

Why would that matter at all?
The 64bit version of Windows 7 is notorious for not being compatible with a lot of devices. There just arent any 64bit drivers. If you dont understand how to run your software in the proper compatibility mode you will run into problems. I used the x64 version of Win7 for about 12 seconds after I realized my ancient usb optical mouse didnt work lol.
My advice, try running the Samsung driver installer in compatibility mode and see if that doesnt help.

Compatibility mode won't do anything in the case of drivers. I'm not sure what your issue is though as all of my Samsung phones have been picked up fine from within Windows 7 x64. Is the phone picked up on any non-Windows 7 computer? Have you checked in Device Manager to see if it just needs installed?
its the cable. i took mine to the verizon store, they tested it, and gave me a new one for free. works perfectly now
Excellent, problem solved!
So it turns out a factory reset fixed it. Using a moto cable. So that's definitely not the issue. Flashing froyo now. Thanks!
I have encountered that a few times also. Its weird cuz when I plugged the usb into ac charger it almost immediately asks if I want to mount sd for data transfer. 20 mins later I unplug usb from unit and plugit into my win7 pc and nothin? So plugged back into ac unit and it recognize....so I mounted and it didn't know what to do lol. I then plugged back intopc...waited...changed orientation and 'Boom' pc sees it...in fact I change orientation whenever it seems to hang and seems to work....
sent from my XDA phone - its more than a continuum
I should also note that I have never used a samsung cable and every usb micro I've used (moto,kodak,BB,Lg) has fit and worked. But I have noticed some usb related quirks since froyo update like no lock screen after charging till I push home button, inaccurate batt icon (goes from 3/4 to 1/4 in like 10 mins but overall batt life is same as before)...
On an unrelated note I also can't get v6supercharger to work...?

I need help getting my Windows 7 x64 to recognize my GNex.
Whenever I plug it in I dont hear the default USB plug-in sound (Windows), but my phone is charging.
I cannot mount my storage either in recovery or inside Android.
My device manager is not showing errors and my GNex at all.
Tried installing the Google USB Driver from SDK, no luck
Tried PDANet which did not install because of missing drivers.
Use a program called usbdeview and uninstall the drivers you have installed for the Gnex. Then use the galaxy nexus toolkit to install the correct ones.
You dont by chance have the "fast charge" mod enabled through your kerenel do you? Because if so you will need to disable the feature first before plugging up to you Windows machine.
This is starting to become an "epidemic".. :O
I can almost guarantee that it's usb fast charge, devs should really put a warning on that

I too have a Win7 x64 laptop and had a similar issue, but the Device Manager did report an error with the Android 1.0 and/or Samsung driver. I had to manually update driver for it to work thru Device Manager.
Woops. Well there are some ways to check what is disturbing the connection. Let's start at the beginning:
Check if your phone is configured to interact with your computer. After conneting your phone you should get a selection list in your phones notification bar. Make sure to select usb storrage from that list.
On your windows computer go to [start] and type "device manager". After the application (that shows all hardware devices connected to the system) loaded connect your phone and check if something changes. If everything works all right you should get your nexus. If a question mark apears double click it to check the problem.
Try yo connect your device to another computer or with another cable. If the problem is not solved by above steps contact your seller.
If this is not possible install Airdroid and connect your phone to your computers browser or ES file Explorer to browse your pc over the network

Ok, I'm having this issue, but Windows doesn't even recognize anything is plugged in! I tried it on a TON of computers at work with several different USB cables. Nothing! All I get is charging, but no options in the top menu or anything. Is this a toasted Nexus? I just got it, now I can't even transfer files to its storage. I've been transferring files through dropbox...which is annoying...if it is USB Fastcharge, how do I disable it?
Their IS a fix for this, but we need the code to get into the PhoneUtil menu and turn USB back on.
It's an issue with Samsung phones apparently, and here's a fix someone found a while ago.

We just need the PhoneUtil code for the Galaxy Nexus and we should be all set.

What annoys me is that when I got the phone it was already rooted and I didn't have a chance to try it stock or back up the original. It was rooted with an older version, so I flashed 4.0.4 on it. Check out the reviews on newegg I'm not alone in reporting a messed with Galaxy Nexus.

My issue is definitely hardware. I sent my GNex back and they sent me back a new one which I received yesterday. I checked and this one wasn't previously rooted or Unlocked. It worked for a day (worked as in windows saw it and I could xfer music/books/comics to it) after I get home from work Windows stopped recognizing it. I did NOTHING to the phone, it just stopped being seen by windows. I only used the cable that came with it and charged it the night before using the supplied adapter, but the USB still stopped working. Last resort I did a system restore to the phone and the USB still doesn't show up in anything ,Tried 5 of my Windows PC's A bunch of PC's at work, my friends Mac, my Ubuntu powered Netbook, my Xbox360 and PS3, even the Transformer Prime using the keyboard dock. This is telling me it's a hardware issue with the Device. Might be somthing wrong with the latest batch of GNex's but the USB seems to give out. Even if I put the phone in ODIN mode NOTHING recognizes it. So, before you all waste your time finding a fix, this is 100% absolutly a hardware issue with these phones, I don't know why, but I had Two bad ones in a row, and am Hoping my 3rd isn't borked too.
I have a bad history with Android phones....My first Nexus One wouldn't stay on, so I got a replacement from HTC. My first two G2x's would constantly reboot, It wasn't until the 3rd one that I got a working one. Now I'm hoping I don't have to go through 4 bad Galaxy Nexus' before getting one that actually works!
I have the opposite luck with tablets....the Novo7, Iconia A100 and Transformer Prime have been perfect outa box. This ordeal with android phones makes me seriously consider exchanging the GNex for an iPhone4s....but the iPhone4s screen is SOOOOO tiny!!!
Has anyone had a problem with this? The only way for me is to go into recovery and mount it. It's connected as a media device.
Thanks in advance!

Sounds silly, but did you try rebooting your computer? I had to do this the other day when mine wasn't recognizing my phone. Rebooted computer, worked fine after.
Samung's drivers are awful. I had to install, reboot, remove, reboot ad nauseum until I finally got the drivers to work. I also found I had to connect the phone then wait a few minutes before the computer would acknowledge the phone.
specteA 187,
I've only ever had the issue if I've tried USB ports on the front of my machine. For some reason those ports can be a bit flaky.
Plugging USB into the back of my machine causes no issues. Weird.
For me, on Windows 8, I have to switch from MTP to PTP, and then back to MTP for it to mount. It sure is wonky.

I found that if my computer doesn't recognize my phone, I put my phone into download mode then reboot back to normal and the computer will recognize it. Kind of a pain to have to reboot 2x but seems to work for me.
I've had 5 Samsung smartphones (Captivate, Infuse, GS2, SkyrocketGS2, and now the SGNote2) andI use an XPSP3 desktop computer and have never had any issues with computer recognizing phone until the Note2. Odin3 works like a champ on the Note2... it's the plug-n-play recognition for transferring files back and forth that's problematic. Yes, I've uninstalled/reinstalled drivers, Kies, etc, used back ports vs front port... I think it has to do with the MTP file transfer protocol now used. Here's what works for me with the Note2 and the PC:
Connect phone to PC... phone's "USB PC Connection" box opens and you have 2 options: MTP(media/files) or PTP (camera). If PC doesn't immediately recognize device, I do one of two things which always works:
1. toggle between MTP and PTP a few times... if that doesn't work,
2. unplug usb from PC port and reinsert (either same port or another)
Windows Explorer will then recognize device and add "SAMSUNG-SGH-I317" under "My Computer" and list it under "Other" devices in panel.
I had this same problem today on my new N2. Drivers would not install. All I wanted to do was to drag my pics and music onto my SD card. I worked around this of course by removing the SD card from the Note and putting it in the adapter and doing it that way. I still haven't gotten my drivers to install. I may just get the drivers off the Internet
+1, my ONLY complaint about this phone.
I gave up trying to find a fix after installing/un-installing/re-installing drivers/kies/odin3 about a bazillion times and only getting it to work a random few times.
Not even worth the effort...
Dropbox is my best alternative. Sure sux tho...

Thanks, Should've mentioned that I've tried all of the above methods. It may be that, since I work on so many Android devices, my pc is just too full of incompatible drivers and I've yet to clear them properly. Even If i did I'm fairly certain that I'll be working on more devices and will screw it up all over again. My network is pretty quick and Dropbox/esFile Explorer is convenient so I really shouldn't complain.
About 2 weeks ago my phone started having issues with the microSD card. I was plugging it into my computer off and on trying to get the card to read. Then one time the computer just stopped recognizing the phone. Since then I haven't been able to get any computer to recognize my phone. I plug it in and no MTP / PTP options show up, nothing in the system tray to indicate I have attached a new USB device. It just charges the phone.
Phone info:
Samsung SGH-i747m
Android version 4.2.2
Baseband version I747MUMLL1
Kernel Version 3.4.37-cyanogenmod-g7b457dc
What I've tried:
Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers
Every USB port on the box
Factory data reset--both from the setup menu, and the diagnostic bootup menu
USB debugging mode, both on and off.
Changing the UART and USB settings in the *#7284# PhoneUtil. After my last factory reset, it's set to PDA/MTP+ADB.
3 different computers, one Win 7 64 bit, one, one Win 7 32 bit, one Win XP SP3
about 5 different USB cords
I tried a touchwhiz rom CSROM
Cleaning the USB connector with a pin / air can
Changed the Kernal
Anything else I should try? Is there a way to determine if the USB plug on the phone is bad?

What ROM are you using? Not stock obviously running 4.2.2
Make sure fast charge isn't selected. You can't use USB with fast charge enabled. There is either quick tile setting for it (aokp) or under performance settings or in ktweaker.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried about 5 different roms, some touchwiz some not. Haven't gone back to stock yet though.
However I went back to a AOKP rom, Tasks650. Haven't been able to find the usb charge toggle button yet but I may have a kernal not compatible with it. However when I plug the phone into my computer and look at the Battery is says I'm on AC charge so that is likely a good place to start looking for a solution.

If plugged into USB it says ac charge than fast charge is enabled. That's what it does. Goto setting and find the sub menu for the quick setting tiles. There will be one for fast charge. You select it, drag down your quick tiles and you can select and deselect it.

Faulty cord. Go on amazon or order another one. I use a heavy duty one from mediabridge for $5 and it does data and charging. Many times over the years I get an OEM micro usb cord that charges all 3 different galaxy S models I have then after use it will work on 2 and then only one. Sometimes it will just charge and not work with data transfer.
I highly doubt it's your phone.
I saw you tried different cords but were they new ? A picky microUSB or one that's more worn out might only work with a certain cord.
You can replace the microUSB port and it's cheap and I assume there a video on youtube for it but off course it's up to you.

Downloaded a new version of Task650 and enabled fast charge, reset the phone and then disabled it and reset the phone again. Same issue. PC does not recognize the phone but it charges. Check battery and says its on 'AC' charge. I wonder if somehow the two middle pins on the phone got shorted out so it permanently thinks its on AC charge?

Yeah, I just got 10 new microUSB cords to the house. They are cheap ones. However I tried a few other ones I have around the house. I don't know if any of them are the original Samsung cords but I certainly have original HTC microUSB cords. I've probably tried about 14 different ones in total now. I don't think its the cord.
I am in the same boat , my phone works perfect on Win 7 but not on Win XP.
I use airdroid or mmc adapter only if needed.
I did try a web link to fix the mtp issue ( before my xp pc was refomated ) and have had the phone recognized as a USB drive , can't find the link anymore. It has something to do with windows media player .
If I find something , I will report back.

I've been having the exact same problem with my Note II - couldn't get my PC to recognise the SD card but it would charge.
However, then it stopped charging my phone, too. I naturally assumed it was the USB port or the lead, but having tried four different leads - all tested on my wife's SII and all working fine - I realised it was something else.
So I swapped in the spare battery I have and that did charge; swapped back to the old battery and that charged, too.
Weird...but OK, phone is working again.
Next day, no charging again.
Swapped batteries - no change.
Swapped batteries back - no change.
Reflashed ParanoidAndroid ROM - no change.
Flashed Samsung base ROM - no change.
Flashed ParanoidAndroid again - batteries start to charge on USB and on wall charger.
WTF????
Two days later (yesterday) - batteries no longer charge. I'm having to use an external battery charger that plugs into the walls (take the battery out of the phone, plug into the charger, leave to charge).
I've tried different kernels (Devil, NEAK), leads, batteries - nothing.
It's just goddamn weird - and a real pain. :crying:
Sounds like I would start with warranty for the batteries. Stranger things have happened because of batteries. On the inspire, when a battery would start going bad the phone would reboot when trying to take a photo with the flash on.

Changing the UART and USB settings in the *#7284# PhoneUtil. After my last factory reset, it's set to PDA/MTP+ADB.
3 different computers, one Win 7 64 bit, one, one Win 7 32 bit, one Win XP SP3
about 5 different USB cords
I tried a touchwhiz rom CSROM
Cleaning the USB connector with a pin / air can
Changed the Kernal
Anything else I should try? Is there a way to determine if the USB plug on the phone is bad?

I Managed to fix the "Usb not detecting with PC when you connect it but only charges the phone. With me it was a software problem because it happened after i installed the new firmware. what i did was root my phone using Framaroot 1.4. its a apk application, then i installed Titanium Backup. went into titanium backup then to the MTP application and backed it up. then i restored it +all date,. plugged my phone in with the pc and it worked.
Mine turned out to be a software problem, too. I moved to the Beanstalk ROM and that fixed it, weirdly.
I've changed ROMs since (PACMan and SlimBean) and everything's still fine...

By default my phone was already set to the right settings for USB file transfers so I’ll assume most of these ship with the same configuration, Somehow it changed. I found this on a forum - it seems a few other folks declared it a success.
1.Launch the phone key pad on your note and press *#7284# (don’t forget to start with that * symbol!)
2.When you press the last pound sign (#) this will bring up an option that will allow you to change your USB connection settings (modem or PDA) – change it to PDA.
3.At the bottom there is a button that says Qualcomm USB. Click on it.
4.In that menu click on MTP + ADB option.
5.Save and reset.
6.Wait for your phone to restart.
7.Plug the micro USB cable to the Note 2 and the the other end to your PC or Mac
8.Let your computer down load and install drivers.
9.Once installing is done, unplug then replug phone.
10.There should be a USB symbol on your phone in the status bar - click on it. It should ask if you wsnd to use mtp or ptp. Click MTP
11.At this point your PC should open the phone’s folders in explorer.
12.You may have to repeat this process a few times....it worked for me after 4 tries.
Remember, you do not need to use Kies or root your phone for this to work and you should not have to fiddle with manually installing and downloading drivers in Windows 8, it should work no problem as is.
Good luck!
I've tried multiple cables, multiple computers, multiple USB ports with no luck. With my original XL, it pops up file explorer and I have to swipe down from phone to select transfer files and can access them. Works with all the same cables, ports and computers I tried with the XL2.
I've also tried to use the included USB-C to USB-C to transfer between XL and XL2. I get the notification on my XL that it's connected to my XL2 and can access the XL2 files, but I can't access my XL files from my XL2. Doesn't even show it's connected. Tried all the pull down options on both phones with no luck.
What am I doing wrong? This should be the easiest thing to do and had been on every phone, but not this one. Please help!

Did you set the connection type to data transfer?

I had the same issue and with a little searching I figured it out.. Make sure the phone is set to "Transfer Files" in the notification window drop down and download the Google USB drivers zip and install the driver after unzip. Right click the driver file and select install.
Since this is a new account XDA won't let me link yet so Google search for : Get Google USB Drivers
I'm having a similar issue, and we're not alone. I'll copy what I posted on reddit.
Asus ROG Maximus Hero IX motherboard. Tried with multiple cables. Wifes OG Pixel detects it is plugged in right away, my 2XL has to be screen off and set down for a couple of minutes, then the phone recognizes it is plugged in and starts charging and is available for data transfer.
Seven minutes and twenty seconds before it started charging, and another twenty seconds before the computer recognized it as being attached and ready for data transfer. I'm going to do it a few more times to see if there is a pattern.
Edit: Second time was seven minutes for both, third was three fifty one for both, eleven thirty three on the fourth.
I'm not having this problem at all. Once file transfer is enabled on the Pixel I get a popup in Windows asking how to handle the connection to the Pixel 2 XL.
I is a different story with my Nexus 6P -- I can do adb commands but the Windows does not attempt to access the storage on the device.
-- update on Nexus 6P: if I toggle the setting to PTP mode the Nexus shows up in Windows Explorer. Then when I toggle back to MTP I can see the storage.
Using Windows seems to be the common problem when connecting Android Phones to a PC.

I don't get any connection option when I connect my XL2. It's like it's not even connected. My XL works perfectly fine with same cords and computers which throws me for a loop.
I'll give the shot about changing to other options and back to file transfer and see what happens.
I may need to wipe the phone and start over or maybe it's see sort of bug. Just kinda sucks, just need to make sure I can access the phone and one of the main reasons I got the 128gb version

I have encountered similar issues when using Windows, but my laptop dual boots between Windows/Fedora Linux. I only boot to Windows when I have to. Linux has no issues communicating to Android Phones. Maybe find a Linux Bootable DVD and give it a spin
When you look in the Windows device manager do you see an entry for LeMobile Android Device? This caused a problem for me in the past. See this post for a possible solution: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/5nc64z/adb_drivers_showing_up_as_lemobile_android_device/
A shortcut to the steps in the article is to simply expand the LeMobile Android Device node, right-mouse click on the Android Composite ADB Interface, click Change settings at the bottom of the General tab, go to the Driver tab, click Update Driver; Select Browse my computer for driver software; browse to the directory where Android Studio (or adb tools downloaded from https://developers.google.com/android/ota) files are located; make sure Include subfolders is check) and replace the LeMobile Android Device driver with the Google driver.
(If you have to do this, more than likely you will have to do it each time you reboot.)
I don't know if this will have any effect but on the pc, plug to the usb ports on the back that are direct to the motherboard instead of usb headers on the top/front of pc.
I have this issue with a TomTom satnav and a Mio miview dash cam. Unless they are plugged in on back pc / with Windows 10 doesn't recognize

That sounds easy enough, but it's dumb (to me anyways) I should even have to do this to get the computer to recognize my phone when it'll recognize my original XL and of course wife's S7. My phone gets plugged to the computer almost every day to copy files off of, at worst every other day.

I went to the device manager on 2 computers and surprisingly nothing showed up. It's like I'm not even plugging it in, while as soon as I plug in my original XL it pops right up. When I attempt to plug it in, it doesn't even attempt to install any drivers like it sometimes use to. I'm going to install the ADB tools when I get home today and see if that helps any to recognize it.
Just tried it on my work computer which does have ADB on it with no luck or anything in device manager
I literally went through all my USB-C cables I could find yesterday, probably 12-15 at least, and I DID manage to find one that worked..... a 6" cable, lol. I can't figure out why this one works and others don't, very more odd is it's the same brand as other longer cables that don't work. Not sure what to make of it, other than voltage loss with the longer ones....just enough to make it not work.
I do have a 2nd XL2 that should be due in this week, was suppose to ship on 22nd. I was going to return it, but now I'll have to take it out of the box and at least test if it works with the computer. I'll report back.
Open to any other suggestions if anyone has any. Thanks again for the replies!

Do you see anything in device manager under Android devices or portable devices under USB when the 2XL is connected to the PC?

Nothing at all, it's like it's not even connected. Just kind of dumbfounded on why when my XL never has had an issue. Attached a screenshot. The one with the triangle doesn't have anything to do with the phone though, it's always been like that and never bothered to mess with it.
The 2nd XL2 shipped yesterday and due in Thursday, so will be curious on if it has an issue. Hopefully it works as intended and I can just set it up and send this one back. Fingers are crossed for sure.
Are you updated to the latest ADB drivers? Right down to, you might have to remove and reinstall. I'm pretty sure I read that it's required.

If the Pixel 2 is plugged in your screenshot indicates that it is present on the USB bus. It's like the drivers aren't completely loaded.
I haven't seen it mentioned if you have turned on USB debugging in your phone's Developer options. I'm pretty sure that is required for the computer to see it.

I had it enabled for a while, but no such luck. I'll give it another shot, haven't had it on while at work. Also will uninstall and reinstall ADB as well.
When this has happened to me a few times, reinstalling the Windows MTP drivers has worked. Someone else posted these instructions that worked for me.
1. Go to C:\Windows\INF
2. Find the file "wpdmtp.inf"
3. Right click the file and click 'Install'
4. Once that is done, simply plug your phone and it should work.
