Alright well I have 2 questions. Before anything, yes I'm rooted.
I noticed that all of the sudden I wasn't able to use disk mode to access my phone or SD card. It's defaulted to disk mode, and it's set to ask me on plug. It only charges.
Any ideas on what's wrong?
Second, I tried flashing the 2.0 radio update. I downloaded it, renamed it to update.zip, and flashed it using ClockworkMod Recovery. It said everything went fine, so I hit reboot.
I checked, and it still says it's on 1.0 but now I have the wifi tether options and all of the new goodies of the 2.0 radio, but it says it's 1.0. Even worse, now my wifi won't turn on AT ALL. BT/GPS/3G all work.
I know you can't apply updates twice or you'll brick, so I'm attempting to restore my phone using a backup. I'm not sure if that even touches the radio...but it's the only thing I can think of.
What should I do?
EDIT: Okay, a restore worked. Is it safe to try the radio update again? I want to stay on my 2.1update1 ROM that came on here and not flash a custom one or the leaked 2.2. I can use the new radio without switching ROMs right? Is it safe to try installing it again? Maybe my download was bad...?

Stock 2.1 update 1. I'm rooted, though.
But how? It was fine before rooting, it was fine after rooting, it just randomly stopped working.
Both the SD and phone storage appear on my computer, but they're faded out and I can't access them.
It's WORKING, but doesn't let me access the storage and doesn't alert me or anything.
It's not my computer. My computer is working perfectly. The drives are like that because my phone has them disabled. When it DID work, if I had disk mode on and then turned it off, the drives were this way as well. It's not my computer.
Edit:
I did a hard reset and it's working fine.
Any ideas on the radio?
Has anyone else had any problems with ROM Manager? I can't create a backup from ROM Manager. It boots from the M to a triangle, then reboots the current ROM. If I use Bootstrap to boot into Clockwork Recovery, I can create a nandroid backup. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, reflashing the ROM(formated system, wiped data & cache) and reinstalled Busybox. Any suggestions??
continue using bootstrap, there are many people with this problem
I was able to use Rom Manager just as you would on any non locked bootloader phone on my original droid X. Now on my replacement one I'm unable to load roms or make backups directly from rom manager, I have to use bootstrap and do it manually. Not a huge deal but it's kind of annoying. I also had problems with other roms though like Rubix focused (the newest) the dialer app would just dissapear and I couldn't connect to a cell tower... really weird. With ApeX I would get random reboots every couple minutes. With FlyX I would get the syncing icon come up and just stay permanently. These were all installed after completely wiping several times and doing fresh installs. Finally ended up trying Tranquility 2.5 I think? Anyway that one worked. I figured my phone was just messed up in some way and that's why I couldn't do things directly from Rom Manager. This phone also occasionally boots up all the way but the display never makes it past the M logo. I can unlock and power off the phone just off memory of where the stuff is at but the screen never initializes. Other than that, runs great! lol
Same problem here. I have to do it manually with bootstrap...pretty annoying.
After some moderate success with One-Click-Root (it failed after giving root and installing CWM), I can't seem to get my Epic to behave on either my laptop or desktop. It still recognizes drivers, but whether it's in Debugging Mode or not, it seems the connection freezes. On XP, explorer.exe locks up unless I unplug the phone. On reinstalling drivers and plugging in the phone, it'll install the phone drivers halfway, halt, and won't continue installing unless I pull the USB cable and reconnect. I've tried resetting the phone with different stock firmware versions but can't seem to get around the problem. When I try to reapply One-Click-Root, half the time it doesn't see the phone, or it halts near the beginning.
Here's what's recently flashed:
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: S700.0.5S.EC05
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: FROYO.EB13
I'm under limited understanding that the baseband and build are a mis-match, but at this point I'm trying anything to get this thing to work. Otherwise it seems I can only flash ROMs via ODIN, and most only seem to support CWM. I've searched for almost a day and haven't seen anyone else with this problem.
Thanks everyone for your time.
Have you tried a different USB cable? EDIT: Also, this should be in Q&A.
Ah, my apologies about posting in the wrong board. I've tried the stock cable, one from RadioShack, and another from an Evo.
I should also note that with or without Debug, the microSD refuses to be explorable on either platform of Windows.
I'd suggest you Odin to stock, then restart the process from there.
I bit the bullet and downloaded Sprint's update, originally believing anything official was evil. So far the update is making things work. I got One-Click-Root to work without a hitch. I'll update on whether or not CWM and a custom ROM works.
CWM v3.0.0.6 has successfully installed. Bonsai4All ROM successfully installed. Mounting with or without Debug still not working, however.
First off let me say hello to everyone! I have never posted here but do A LOT of lurking . Big ups to all the devs here. You have helped make my Fascinate 100 times better than it was out of the box. I post over at fascinate forums and posted this issue I have been having. If anyone can help out with this I would appreciate the hell out of it.
Running
Community Rom v 1.2 w/ stock kernel(WHICH IS AWESOME BY THE WAY! Best Rom I have ever used hands down!).
EnV Theme(which is equally awesome!)
Can not get my computer to recognize my phone via USB(phone issue)
So here is what happens.
My USB mount was working fine until last night. Now every time I connect my phone to my computer I get a message in the bottom right corner telling me windows does not recognize the USB device.
When I click the message I get this
USB Device Not Recognized
USB Root Hub
Unused
Unknown Device
When i click the unknown device I get this
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
This is not a computer issue...it is a phone issue. I have tried plugging my phone into 3 different computers, installed the drivers, and get the same issue every time. If it is an internal error there is nothing I can do because I can't Odin back to stock and take my phone in to Verizon.
Things I have tried
Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers multiple times, different drivers(generic and the ones from the samsung page), fixing the drivers, different USB ports, different USB cables, different rom, different kernel, re downloading drivers(both).
I cannot figure this out. If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated.
:edit: My phone WILL charge when plugged into the USB.
p.s. Once my Pizza gets here I am going to attempt putting the phone into Download mode. I completely forgot to check if Odin would recognize it in DLM. If it does I am reverting back I am going to revert back to stock and have a rooting/flashing party by myself tonight(I have beers).
I'm sure your already aware to make sure your in usb debugging mode. mentioned it just incase.
Yes my phone is in debug and set to mass storage. I want to try a hard reset but don't want to be such with a stock fascinate if it doesn't work.
Alpha Tappa Lambda
I had similar problem, and my Odin wouldn't work either.
Turned out to be some dirt in the usb port, cleaned it out with a scrap of paper with isopropyl alcohol. After a couple of cleanings, the PC recognized the device for the first time in 2 weeks. I am not the only one who has had physical problems with the usb port, search on it. The Fascinate seems to be fragile in this respect.
Of course, if your Odin detected the phone then its something else...
Good luck.
I had this exact problem and it was the USB cable for me
I didnt think of it initially cuz it would charge my phone fine
I went through every step over and over and even reformatted my entire PC
Then i grabbed by coworker's ATT captivate charger and everything worked fine...
so my suggestion is to find someone with a samsung OEM charger and see if that's your problem
I also think it has something to do with the USB port. I had the exact same issue and it ended up being dirt in the port on the phone

I had the same thing, would charge but computer wouldnt see it. Cleaned port with a little rubbing alcohol and it worked like a charm.
My new phone will be here tomorrow. I ended up flashing ED01 with CWR and now have a fully stock fascinate ready to be sent back.
I haven't read this thread for awhile but I wish I would have tried the cleaning method before having to get a replacement phone in. Oh well...should be a fun re rooting a brand spankin new stock phone tomorrow
Well now I know what it was. I just got my new phone in. All was well.
Rooted to EF, Odin'd the EC01 radio, and flashed OTB 1.3 and was just setting everything up. I rebooted after flashing everything.
Then came the fast media scan hack. Guess what...my phone will no longer connect via USB after flashing that.
Does anyone know how to remove this? I can no longer Odin anything and I am pissed off right now.
p.s. not pissed off at anyone in particular...it's my problem for flashing not the devs...but seriously this sucks.
Re flashed the Rom, went into terminal emulator and restored the default media scanner, rebooted phone, rebooted computer, USB works fine.
Right after I flashed the fast media scanner I had the same problems I was having before...now everything is working just fine. Not trying to bust on adrenalyn or anything. Just reporting my experience with the fast media scan hack.
Cannot Get Computer To Recognize Phone
I tried installing the Anonymous ROM and got bricked. A friend of my was able to get it back to factory settings. Now, no computer will recognize my phone.
I have tried several computers, 3 windows 7 computers and 1 iMac. None of them recognize the phone.
I have tried two different cables and every USB port on all of the computers. Nothing seems to be working.
All I wanted to do was get the Sprint crapware off my phone and now I can't even get back to where I was.
Also, when I try to do the ROM manager I am getting a file signature error.
You can try Software Data Cable app, This app allows you to connect to your computer via the same wifi connection. You might give it a shot.

I had this problem once. I think i went into my usb settings and click ask on connect or something like that. Worked for me at the time.

My phone is doing that now how do you undo the speed hack?

I was in the same boat. Was rocking UKB ComRom 2.0 when all of a sudden I could no longer connect my phone via USB to my PC. I was running Windows Vista and had never had a problem before. I tried multiple PC's and multiple cords. I was worried that I would have to get a replacement.
I cleaned the USB port on the phone with no luck. Installed and deleted and reinstalled the drivers 3 times with no luck. Made sure USB settings on the phone were correct. Toggled the USB settings a few times just in case- no luck. Did a Dalvik and Cache wipe with no luck. The only thing that worked for me was the do a factory reset/Wipe and then redo my phone from there. It left UKB ComRom 2.0 on the phone and I just had to add back in my data. Just an FYI.
ive had this issue since ukb 2.0 i moved to cm7 mtd did a full data wipe and still have this issue >,> wonder if i have to manually change it or somthing
Just had this happen again today on my phone. Fixed it back on the 29th after doing a factory reset and then reinstalled my apps/ etc......This time all I had to do was a Davlik, Cache wipe and it seemed to fix the problem. Never had this happen before ComRom 2.0, but not it is happening more frequently it seems. Any ideas?
So I start with some history:
SGS i9000
Currently using 10.2.2 (just flashed) JVQ
Android 2.3.4
When I got Darky 10.2 everything seemed smooth. Problems started to occur little by little. Battery drain, always 98-95% when taking off from the charger. Strange tilts, app / screen just freezes and after a while automatic reboot. Strange slowdowns, sometimes friends can't call me...
I think it's all because of custom kernel and rom.
Now I can't connect my Samsung to my Mac. It charges but no connection. I tried different cable, flashing 10.2 to 10.2.2. Wiping everything on the phone. Nothing. Phone is in Mass Storage state, also tried USB Debugging.
It's kinda hard to reflash this thing to previous systems because how do I flash with Odin without usb connection.
Any ideas?
You might try another PC with a fresh USB driver install. I'd suggest a Windows running one.
Restart phone and comp.
@zomirp: i'm not an idiot
I've done everything one could imagine. Tried PC instead of my Mac. Different USB cable. I've reflashed, wiped all data + dalvik cache. I've tried to switch USB from PhoneUtil to Modem and back to PDA but no help.
Boot into recovery and restore your nandroid backup from known working config. You have a backup right...?
Failing that, can't you download 10.2 again on your phone, restart in recovery and install using CWM?
@dolphindos sorry to hear that your phone is misbehaving.
I had something similar, but instead of immediatly blaming the software, I decided to take a look at the hardware.
what are the odds that software changes hardware....
I think your usb connector crapped out just like mine did recently. I went to the repair center got it fixed and all's fine now.
My thoughts have a look at the hardware
Yes that is a possibility. Well I guess I need to find a way to get stock firmware flashed since I can't take the phone with Darky's to manufacturer.
