Hi,
I have a strange problem when I try to connect my device to the PC.
After I installed Kies for the first time, the PC recognized my device one time. After I had removed the USB connection, when I try to reconnect the device, the PC did not recognize it.
I tried to reinstall Kies, install drivers without the Kies, I rebooted my PC everytime - nothing worked, it still did not recognized.
The only thing that work is a System Restore which I did on my PC (for before I installed Kies for the first time), but then I got the same problem - for the first time I connected my device after the Kies installation, the PC recognized my device, but after I unplugged and reconncted the USB cabel, the PC did not recognize my device, again.
Meanwhile, my System Checkpoints on my PC where deleted (I guess because of the System Restore), so now I can not go back to square one again.
I tried to find identical problem in the forum, but I did not find one.
My operating system on my PC is Windows XP, 32bit (I do not have access to another operating system, surely not on a daily basis. If it is necessary, I will try to find a computer with another operating system).
The Kies version which I installed is 1.5.3, the most updated as of 31/10/2010, downloaded from the official Samsung website.
I do NOT use LauncherPro, or any other launchers for that matter (I only installed a few popular games, from the market, on my device).
Thank you!
Yuval.
Try removing any media which might be there on your internal sd card. If that doesn't work then try and format the internal sd card. Certain apps like winamp too prevent the phone from connecting to the pc. It sure did work for me. Hope it does for you too.

I did transfer some .mp3 and .wma files from my PC to my "media" folder in my device through Kies in my first (and successful) connection.
However, deleting them (+ reinstallation of Kies + rebooting of both my PC and my device) did not help, and my PC still does not recognize my phone.
How do I format my internal SD card?
Thanks!
if you have any other devices like printers, external hdds, etc connected, remove them and connect your phone.
Go to settings, sd card and phone storage, internal sd card. Unmount internal sd card and then format.

The only devices that are connected to my PC are the screen, mouse and keyboard. Should I remove and reconnect them?
Do you get the usb connection sounds when you connect and disconnect your phone to/from the pc?
It is all OK now .
The problem was two bad USB ports. It took my some time to cosider the posibility that both of them do not work well. Using a third USB port fixed the problem.
For all of you - if the phone uploads the "Kies" screen (the blue one) when connencted, it is probably the USB port or the USB cabel to blame.
i did nothing new, no update, just while installing some games, pc suite got a freeze, i restarted my pc and my DHD, all applications installed on the sd card are not working, but my sd card is mounted and i can access sd card root using astro, also i tried to install some apps using astro, but installation bar progress takes forever and didnt finish, even installing from market did not start.
any suggestion on what is going here?
P.S.: i tried to unmount than mount my sdcard, and nothing changed.
this is turning very serious, plz i need help.
i did a factory reset, and i did install the stock rom from sdcard, both ways keep the problem, that i cant sync the device or mak it appear as disk drive, i can only make a internet passthrough connection, but no drive no htc sync, i did a lot of tries, debug on off, connect reconnect usb, restart device, restart pc, use another pc, i also have stock rom .6, and original kernel with latest htc sync installed.
m very frustrated now, i have no recovery, the device wont accept installing anything from pc, or from market place, installing process takes forever and do nothing, the problem is in the device not the pc, is there a way to get back my device to operate properly, please help
Is you SD card corrupted? Can you access it?
i will list it again as following:
-stock rom .6 with original kernel
-radio s off
-no recovery
-sd doesnt seems corrupted cause i can access it once with astro, and i can access it with pc suite only as disk drive
-i tried with mounted and unmounted sd card (no fix)
-i did a factory reset (no fix)
-i did install the rom from sdcard (no fix)
-i tried another pc for syncing (no fix)
-i can only make internet passthrough but no disk drive or htc sync
-in market i can press on install but nothing will happen
-in desktop htc sync, if i get luck and see it, if i browse to install an apk, it will simply freeze.
please all i need urgent help, i think something bad happened to my device
How about copying all the data from yr sd card into another card? Your current card could be faulty but stil accessible by astro.
You could also try copying everything out to your PC and then reformat the card and copying everything back.
If stil don't work then start brand new by reformatting the card and reinstalling all your apps
i will try it man for sure but just for informations:
-say i have no sdcard in the device (sdcard is unmounted) should i be able to install from market or install from pc some apk?
if yes than the problem is not in the sdcard, if no than i have hope to do it.
P.S.: how can i format the sdcard if i cant access it as disk drive?
You can format from within Android, Settings -> SD Card & Phone Storage -> Unmount first then Format.
Have you got another SD card to try with?
-i formatted the sd card, insert it in DHD (doesnt work)
-i replaced the sd card by another one (doesnt work)
-reinsert the new sd card and reboot (now problem is fixed)
-now back to the original sd card (and yes the problem is fixed)
what happened i dont know, why it's fixed i dont know, it's like a sudden problem and sudden fix, if anyone have any idea of what happened plz enlight us for future or similar issues.
ok i runing Oxygen and everithing is just fine,but i have one smaal problem: i can't use USB Mass storage mode.
Lets say the phone is turned absolutley off , when i turn it on and try to get in recovery mode the computer detects it and it shows it like CD Drive(empty), ok i tried some of the options of recovery- i mount/unmount, format , fix .. etc. still appear like CD Drive.
Ok i turned on the phone, and then i choose the android option to use the phone like USB flash drive, again it appeared like CD Drive , wich automaticly means only read but not write on memory card, and now every time i have to remove the card from the phone put it in SD card reader and upload on it some music, photos etc ...
Anyone with a solution?
1) First try another sd-card to see if the sd-card has a problem.
2) Either your ROM has a problem or it is your computer. Please try it again with another computer just to make sure that yours is not the cause for this behaviour.
3) If the problem persists try flashing your ROM again, but in recovery mode: Choose Wipe Data /Factory Reset, then go back to main menu. Choose Wipe Cache Partition, then go back to main menu. Go to Advanced and choose Wipe Dalvik Cache, then go back to main menu. This will delete all the data on the phone and make sure the ROM is installed properly.
Oxygen ROM do not allow to use Internal memory in usb mode, but sd card works 100% tested.
the worst thing for me is that, when im in recovery again appear like cd drive, so the phone for the computer from the begining is cd drive.
when i go in device manager it shows that HSUSB driver is not installed properly is it the same for you guys?
it only shows that my device is android usb device, but not mass stotage
THE same problem

The god dam windows and drivers was the problem. Actualy i have a huawei USB modem for internet, and the drivers which i used for the modem messed with the drivers for the phone. The solution was to remove the USB Modem drivers and then reinstall them again and this time the computer discover the phone like mass storage.
If I simply wipe dalvick and cache and flash new version of same developers (SACS) rom, will I lose anything like pics and downloads that are stored on the device?
Normally no you won't lose your pics and downloads if you just wipe cache and delvik cache only.
But you shouldn't take the risk. Make a backup of your own data.

great thanks, what type of backup, using what? titanium? does a nand backup store EVERYTHING on the device, like the pics and downloads im referring to, or what exactly does a nand backup save? the whole reason I ask is because my piece of sheet Samsung galaxy 4 refuses to USB connect to my dell xps 15 (9530), a new machine. ive had dell, Samsung, and best buy all unable to figure it out..the phone just loops through saying "connected" then immediately disconnects, so I have no easy way to transfers all the files on the device itself to my computer....but the phone connects fine to my 10 year old inspiron...but the transfer speed is stone-age...
You can even copy all your personal files to external SD card then use any SD card reader to move it to your pc or laptop.
About your Samsung device not recognized... Then make sure of 2 things
1) That your usb cable is fine (may use another one)
2) uninstal Samsung drivers from device manager on pc then download the latest version of drivers (or you can uninstall Samsung kies and reinstalling the latest version of it)
Then retry connect the mobile phone to pc or laptop.

in the meantime, id like to dirty flash this rom asap, cuz my gps is broke, and i need it working. how should i backup whats on the device so i dont lose pics/downloads, etc.?
thanks for taking the time to help out
I even had a situation once where I could only see that there was a problem with the drivers through device manager when the phone was plugged in. I want to say I had uninstalled the drivers but they did not uninstall cleanly. I had to have the phone plugged into USB, right clicked on the driver, clicked uninstall/delete and unplugged the phone while the the driver uninstalled so the PC did not recognize it and start trying to install a new driver. Reboot download drivers and plug the phone in to install drivers.

As i said you can easily copy your pics and downloads to your external SD card then transfer all to your pc. By using sd card reader.
Then make dirty flash as you want or even go to a clean install.
About your apps and settings and their data you can use titanium backup.
But for pics and downloads you don't have to use titanium... Just copy and paste.

so you are saying i will lose my pics that are on the device, not on the sd card? i have nothing to externally connect the phone to. thats my issue.
I think you will not lose any thing but you have to make a backup if anything goes wrong.
If you have external card on your mobile phone then copy to your external card.
If you haven't then you can copy your pics and downloads wireless by using wifi if you have wifi router via airdroid app.
If you make a Nandroid backup in CWM or whatever recovery, Ti Backup is good at getting all of your data our that way as well. Once you have it, you can simply restore it, or if you have the pro version, create a flashable update.zip file that you can flash in recovery.
I've bounced back and forth between different ROM's with clean installs (wiping data and everything) and I've never lost anything on the internal SD. You can backup to be safe, but I don't typically worry about it.
BTW an app you can use to help is called AirDroid from the Play Store. It requires no USB connection, just WiFi and you can transfer just like if you were connected via USB.
Even if u did a full wipe u dont lose pics or music... Its on sd card partition. Ud only lose apps.. Ud have to wipe sd card completely to do that. Dl the superwipe flashable zip.. Flash that then rom then gapps after titaniuming ur apps
Hello!
I'm trying to backup my phone before i wipe and flash latest Omega rom. But some problems..
I can copy one biiiig (3-4 gb) file from phone to PC in no time, but if i mark several folders, or a folder with like 50 small files in it (a total of ~50 mb) it just hangs on "calculating size" forever.
My setup:
PC - Windows 8.1, latest USB-drivers from Kies
Cable - Tried different ones, but right now the original USB 3.0 cable
Ports - Tried all ports on front and back of PC
Using Explorer to copy. What program do YOU use?
Note: It's the same when i try to restore to the phone..
Ideas?
Thanks
Update: tried with another PC (Windows 7), same problem there. =/
Try Teracopy.
http://codesector.com/teracopy
Thanks! But TeraCopy doesn't work with MTP.
I think the best way to solve this MTP-issue (as it seems to be) is to copy Internal card to a folder on the External card, and then copy the files from that extcard via a cardreader directly to the PC, and vice versa.
Alt 2: AirDroid
It's the MTP protocol. It's a nightmare. Sluggish, unstable, slow...
I always copy big files to and from the MicroSD with a cardreader (which is a hassle as I'm using an Otterbox) and then move it internally with ESfileExplorer. (On an older version of both the firmware and ES, so it still accepts MicroSD writing.)
