More of a windows vista question

My laptop with vista home premium no longer allows me to view my sd card on my epic when connected thru the usb. I have the the samsung driver installed. I was able to root my phone and even went back to stock using odin in order to apply the update and reroot. All I am trying to do now is copy some mp3s on my sd card.
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Trouble connecting VIA USB

I am a newb when it comes to android, so please bear with me. I cannot for the life of me get my Continuum dl17 unrooted to mount on my computer. I use a late 2010 13" MacBook pro (10.6.6) as my main rig, with VMWare Fusion installed. I have an XP clone, a Win 7 clone and a Ubuntu clone. I am unsuccessful mounting the phone in any of these.
When I first connect the phone to any of the computers/virtual machines I see what looks like a Verizon CD that tries to install the driver (No Mac Driver | I'll get to that later) The CD the disappears, I swipe down the notifications on the phone and choose Mount the SD to no avail.
I downloaded the drivers from Samsung...nothing. I have tried mounting with USB debugging and without...nothing.
When I try to mount to the Mac I get an error that the Mac cannot read the disk and do I want to initialize. (oddly enough If I unmount the sd card and put it in my card reader I can transfer files just fine using the Mac)
I really want to root the phone, but that is impossible when you cannot get the phone to be recognized my your computer.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (BTW I have tried everything that I could find to troubleshoot this before I posted)
Thanks

The DL17 update broke the USB functionality on the Continuum. Please, complain LOUDLY to Verizon. If you can get an unupdated phone as a trade-in that might be best.

Weudel,
Thank you! I will complain LOUDLY to Verizon.

Yeah, I don't believe z4root works after the update, either, at least it didn't for me. Don't you have a friend with a pc? It doesn't take long to root...

I have tried to attach the phone to a windows box as well...no dice. How did you root your phone?

You don't need USB storage to root, just turn on debugging.

Thanks Weudel,
I will give it another shot.

I did get root... I was just not being patient enough

I have the DL17 on my SCH-I400 and I just managed to connect to it via ADB (thanks to this post).
Can you explain what you mean by "broke the USB functionality"?

I've been running Mac OS Lion for the last almost 2 months on my Alienware M11x, so I know the pain of trying to get the Continuum to mount on a Mac. It won't work unless you're running a Froyo ROM. There isn't an easier answer, believe me, I tried!
Even then, when running Froyo, USB debugging will time out after a few minutes. I'm going to flash EC07, and see if it improves that problem.

How can I get my USB tethering to work?

So, I have a PC and a Netbook. USB tethering on my PC works perfectly fine (btw, it's running Win7), but when I tried USB tethering on my netbook--even after I installed the official driver from the website that indicated its usage for tethering--it stops working. The netbook is able to detect the phone, but cannot seem to find the driver. Any help?
PS: I also installed HTC Sync on my PC; I'm not sure if that's what made the tethering work.
Thanks a lot!

I don't mean to offend but have you rebooted the Netbook? And have you tried reinstalling the driver (run as an admin)?

GS3 on Ubuntu

Does anyone have any ideas about getting the gs3 to show up on Ubuntu 12.04.1 so I can transfer movies and songs to and from the device?
Sorry if this has been posted before. I'm just at the end of my tether with this, don't want to have to reinstall windoze just for this one thing.

Airdroid is in the play store, works on Debian so ubuntu should be fine

Airdroid works a treat. Thanks for that. Will also try usb debugging when I get home.
Is the problem with this phone and Ubuntu that usb mass storage mode was done away with? Would it register on Ubuntu fine that way?

Never had any problems on Ubuntu with SIII. Works out of the box.

Just a small update. Airdroid works a treat. Love that. USB debugging doesn't work at all. I also bought a usb otg cable as a backup. That's easy enough.
Just a pity it can't be as smooth as windows.

Yes, personally I use QtADB, which works fine. I found mounting worked fine out of the box but drilling down through folders showed them as empty, and transferring files just plain failed.
BTW Heimdall works fine as an alternative to ODIN, although I've so far failed to get the GUI functional on Mint Lisa x64, but no issues using CLI.

Installation instructions for Ubuntu releases prior 13.04
1. Add the PPA to your system
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:langdalepl/gvfs-mtp
sudo apt-get update
2. Then, launch Software Updater (previously known as Update Manager) and install the available updates.
3. Once everything has been updated successfully, restart your computer, unlock your Android device, connect it via USB and it should show up in your file manager.
Change the connection method to MTP and then you can view directories and their contents.

That's correct - Ubuntu 12.04 does not support MTP devices out of the box therefore the instructions above should help.

Thanks Chevli, I should have made it more explicit. I guess there are quite a few people on the older release.

USB transfer problems

I cannot transfer files from my s4 to my computer. I have the current drivers installed and I have tried 3 different slots different cables...I even took out the sd and put it back. I have USB debugging checked and the computer does recognize the phone as connected (MTP) Device. Not sure what to try next, any suggestions?

Which computer?
Try without Kies installed if you have it installed--
I am making a nandroid now so can't check, but try the other choice from MTP. Forget what it is--
Also, I have rebooted phone and computer and it worked. Also, Android File Transfer works well--

Airdroid works well too.

I have and have used Airdroid. I must be slow, but the the UI is confusing to me. Maybe lack of use--

No kies installed. The other option from MTP is just for pics as far as I can tell.
Air droid works but I still want to correct this. Right about now I am thinking this may be a windows issue
