Ubuntu Driver?

I am a ubuntu n00b!
I cannt seem to find my phone when it is mounted with ubuntu.
I read in another thread how ubuntu doesnt need drivers.
If this is true, how do I copy files to / from my epic with ubuntu please?
Thanks

Ubuntu... lol. Sorry.

I am aware that it has to be mounted on the phone.
With the phone mounted no 16 gig drive shows up in places or under computer or any of file location I can find in ubuntu.
Just tried my girlfriends stock epic when she got home from work, and it works like it should. Get a pop up window. Mine does nothing.
Running:
D18
Noobnl 1.1.1 ROM
Noobnl 1.4.0 Kernel
Hers is stock. So the problem must be related to root or the rom or kernel.

Try Turning off your USB debug.

Doesnt work.
Need to try a diffrent rom / kernel I guess, Dont want to I like these.

IF your using a PC try using USB ports which are located in the back of the computer, otherwise (laptops) try a different port with the Original cable you got with the phone.
Like already mentioned try to disable the USB debugging mode. Also from the command prompt try running lsusb command and see if the device is recognized. If the only thing your doing is syncing music and photos you won't need to do changes in your rules file like when you would want ADB to work.
Let us know if this worked.
PS. Also you may want to reboot your phone after disabling USB debugging mode, just for giggles.

Using a back USB port did the trick. Seen this posted before to get the drivers for this phone to work on windows 7. Since I never had to do this I never thought to try a back port.

you can leave usb debugging on, i have no issues with it being on

[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...

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

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.

[Q] MTP USB Driver Failure - USB PC Mode

I keep encountering a problem when I try to connect using PC MODE. The driver never installs any which way that I try. Reinstalling drivers restarting computers... blah blah blah. I have tried different roms and they all have the same problem. It seems that only the stock rom works with the existing drivers. Does anyone else have this issue??? Any Help???

I recommend looking around for the drivers. They can be found all over the forums and the internet. I'll see if I can locate them and post a link.

If there are different drivers than the original ones I would appreciate the link. Thank you in advance.

this needs to be in general
btw: try taking of usb debugging before connecting it in pc mode

Tried that already and I still have the same issue. Come on.. I can't be the only one out there with this problem. Also why should this be in "general" when it pertains to running custom roms. It's not like I am asking about how something works.
I think this is a legitimate issue with running custom roms i which i am surprised no one has addressed. Its not like I have not searched the forums. So if this problem is resolved then show me the sticky please!!

General because i just hooked mine up perfectly on windows using pc mode running liberty 1.5 therefore it isnt the ROM's fault making ANDROID development the wrong forum choice
try here
and read this and the following comments
also restart your computer and keep pressing F8 until a menu comes up press arrow down and click the one about not requiring signatures for drivers

Agreed and done.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm not trying to be a ****. I will give it one more shot. At this point I don't know what to do. I have been pulling my hair out. I wanna use the liberty 1.5 rom but without the ability to dock my phone in PC mode it will be of no use.

well i turned off debugging. and nothing turned it on and nothing. Tried the drivers from that link that you guys posted and same thing. Could it be that I am using Windows 7? It's a clean install of Liberty 1.5 and I uninstalled the newer 4.8 drivers and installed the 4.6 drivers from the link. Restarted and still nothing. What am I doing wrong? if I restore my ROM back to the original stock everything works fine and I can sync with windows media and all that. The other way is a nogo. Help?

The information below is what comes out of the event viewer. Maybe it is just a windows error. But after uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers why would it not work? Do I need to start deleting crap? I will try to install on another PC see if I have the same issue.
Edit--- Just tried it on another pc with a Fresh install if windows 7 x64. Installed drivers and same issue as below. What is so special about the stock ROM that allows the driver to function. is there an apk that the custom roms are missing? something must communicate with this driver and allow it to initialize. HELP!??

im not exactly sure whats wrong with just usb mode? you can move files on and off it fine and if anything is wrong it is probably some drive/code that is written in with blur/bloat that is removed, idk if it is just saying, maybe you can revert to stock delete moto drivers hook ur phone back up let it install and then root and maybe itll work then

I think you are on the right track. Considering that when I restore the stock rom from backup everything works fine. Drivers install and I can sync my music. Perhaps there is a part of blur that we can put back to fix this issue. I will experiment by taking the blur apks and installing one by one see how far I get. If anyone any better ideas please let me know.

Possible Solution - Help Needed
I think I may have stumbled onto something. While running the stock OS I disabled the StorageMonitorService.apk by renaming it and rebooting. Afterwards I get the same results. I think this apk controls/talks to the MTP Drivers. How do I get this apk from the stock rom to install on the liberty rom. How do I make sure it runs on startup. If this works I think we will be able to put it into all of the AOSP roms. I know it is one of the blur apps but for the extra functionality hardware wise I think it would be worth it. Has anyone even thought about doing this? If not then why?

Also another work around is to use Linux cuz it doesn't need any special drivers lol

I suspect you have the same problem as I do...there doesn't appear to be a 64 bit diag mode driver for the Droid X. If u try this on 32 bit Windows it will likely work.

I'm so confused here, what seems to be the issue again? LoL. OP- you want to hook up PC mode from your phone but your computer seems to not want to. At least that's what I have gathered from all the posts and no one has suggested the Moto drivers lol
Motorola Drivers; every computer needs them for their Droid X to communicate properly with their PC. I use Moto Connect and why? Because any Motoroa device you hook will be auto-updated once the program is opened up and it also keeps all the drivers up to date.
Download Motorola 4.9.0 Driver with MotoConnect, download it, run the middle option on the bottom left hand corner and you should be all done. Your phone should now sync with your PC. I have used this with 32 and 64 bit Windows 7 computers. All older Windows based OSs' should work fine.
If that does not work, without reflashing the maderstock .340 and starting with a clean slate, the problem might be easy or hard to diagnose both pc and phone side.

Same here!!!!
I'm definitely encountering the same issues. I have installed the latest Motorola 4.9.0 drivers and even doing cleans and reinstalls to no avail.
What's even more odd is that I had recently replaced my phone because of rebooting issues. When I first got it and ran stock... no problems, it would install MTP just fine on both my desktop and laptop both running Win7x64. Once I restored a nandroid to my customized Liberty v1.0... it goes sour.
I even recently reformatted my desktop on a fresh install of Win7x64 and the problem occurs right away after installing the 4.9.0 drivers.
I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with the version being .340 since it only appeared after that. And possibly with ROMs that are based on .340.
I'm going to try Liberty v1.5 to see if it fixes it.

Ok I have found out that there is something in the blur stuff that is part of the stock rom that needs to be running otherwise the drivers on the pc side will not initialize. I have tried liberty 1.5 and it does not work however apex rom seems to have it working. I guess apex may solve me problem. Also for those that keep suggesting that the drivers are the issue. I appreciate it but that is not the issue when using custom roms. The issue is the blur software on the phone. It seems that you need some parts of it to make sure the phone hardware works 100%
If you want to test for yourself take the stock rom and disable blurstoragemanager.apk I think its called the motorola storage manager.

Desire HD seen as 'UNKNOWN DEVICE' in Windows 7

Hello Everyone,
Unfortunately, in Windows 7 (32bit) the phone shows up as 'UNKNOWN DEVICE' in device manager. I have HTC Sync installed, Android SDK with USB drivers, I even hacked the inf file to add the hardware id of the Desire HD with no luck. Does anyone know if the hardware id on the Telus Desire HD is different than USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0CA2&MI_01?? I also flashed back to the original rom in case something got screwed up but no luck. Any help would be appreciated as I'm desperate.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
Exchanged it at Telus and new one works fine on stock rom. As soon as I upgrade to CM7 I lose USB connectivity again.

I have removed HTC sync and only Android SDK with USB drivers, Device manager show "Android USB Device" and sub menu "My HTC"

hi.. i had a similar problem with my windows 7 pro (64 bit).. have you tried disabling "fast boot" and "usb debugging" enabled then restarting the phone?.. this is the only way i could get my windows to see the phone on the first install.. good luck and let us know how you get on.

Tried all suggestions listed repeatedly with no success. It doesn't even mount the sdcard in Windows or MAC OSX. My Dell Streak will at least mount the sdcard with no drivers installed.

Try with another computer, and select disk drive. It should not require any additional drivers, the phone is a plug & play device.

This is happening on my desktop and laptop.

Then there is something wrong with your phone. Are you using a custom ROM?

No, it's the original rom. The reason I want to connect it is that I 'want' to install a custom rom. Problem is the computer never recognizes the phone.

Anyone have any other suggestions, I'm desperate. Looking into getting it warrantied through Telus but but want to send it in if I don't have to. Don't want to wait who knows how long to get it back.

[Q] USB Device Not Recognized

I have a T-Mobile G1 that I had not used for a while. I decided to upgrade it to 2.2 and have been successful (Amon_RA v1.7, Cryogen 6). However, I had to do the upgrade using the SD card and WiFi because the USB is not working. I have tried to connect on both my old XP computer that used to work with the G1 and a couple of other computers using XP and Win7 with the same results.
I get USB Device Not Recognized. When I look at the Device Instance Id on the properties screen it shows USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\5&64DAA3C&0&1 and most other entries are unknown.
My Droid X works fine so I am fairly certain this must be a problem on the G1. I don't know how the G1 manages the USB connection so any help is appreciated.

I´m having the same problem but with my Vega tablet.
When I go to properties I get te VID_0000 and pID_0000 therefore y can´t install the drivers. I´ve looked everywhere but didn´t find any solution

Try another cable? Or try and see if this one works with another phone.

Same here with my htc magic, was working fine then just stopped. I've almost given up trying to get it to connect via usb, so it'd be great to see someone give a solution

Sometimes that happens to me, I try to reboot the computer as well as the phone. What really fixed it was having another rom installed.

Got a connection briefly today, then after a fresh install of laszlo's fantastic rom its gone again! Weird!
