Whenever I plug my Vibrant in my computer makes the usb sound to let you know it's connected. However when I go to check the removable hardware, the Drive "I" that showed up when I plugged my phone in says "please insert etc..etc"
I'm trying to transfer movies and songs on the internal instead of the tiny 2gb card.
Oh yeah, and when I check on device manager, it shows Samsung SGH on there...
I'm confused, can somebody please help
Try and put the phone in download mode, both up and down volume buttons and power button, hold both until vibrant screen flashes twice then let go as soon as second vibrant screen appears. Plug USB into phone while phone is in recovery mode, it should automatically install correct drivers while in this mode.
mine did this yesterday. WOuld show connected on my phone, id click mount, but nothing happened. So I restarted phone and computer. All is well now..
Go to Settings > About Phone > USB Settings > and turn on Mass Storage.

So, I've been trying to restore my phone after some modding gone bad...but now, I've gotten to the point where I can't even get to the green battery screen. My phone won't turn on, and it'll only display this screen with a phone icon connecting to a yellow triangle which is connecting to a computer.
Has anyone gotten this before?
More importantly, is this fixable? Or am I gonna have to file an insurance claim for a "phone that got dropped in a lake" this week?
Use the search option. It will do wonders. This has happened plenty of times before. ODIN can fix the problem.
1. Take out battery, put it back in. (to turn the phone fully off)
2. Don't turn it the phone on!
3. Plug the phone into your PC, do not hit the power button!
4. See if the phone shows anything on the screen
IF the phone screen does show the battery charger or something else on the screen after being plugged in without you hitting the power button, so far so good.
5. Now while it's on like this, hold the volume up and volume down buttons.
6. Hold the power button as well as the volume buttons until the screen goes black.
7. As soon as the screen goes black, let go of the power button! But DON'T let go of the volume buttons!

The best luck i had getting my phone into download mode was pulling the battery, putting it back in. holding vol up+down and plugging it in. instead of going to charging, it goes to download immediately.
All messages related to "3 hardware key combo to get back to download mode so that you can use ODIN to restore", or "use adb to get to download mode so you can use ODIN" only work when the 3 hardware key combo work in the first place, or your PC can recognize the phone for adb to work
I am one of the unlucky one that does not have this 3 hardware key combo working, and am also in this sad state (Phone-!-PC). As a result, PC is not seeing the phone, so adb is out of the question right now
My phone has been like this since last Thursday (a failed attempt to use ODIN to flash JAC's OC/Ext4 kernel). All my reading so far does not give me a fuzzy feeling that I can ever get back to Download mode (ON MY PHONE)
I called my carrier for a replacement, and it should arrive this morning...
If someone can actually get to download mode WITHOUT the 3 hardware key combo OR adb access, I would love to know how
Had the EXACT same problem. Here is how I fixed it:

Glad that this work for you
But not for me, for some unknown reason
No SIM
No SD Card
Pulled battery out
Make sure screen is off
Put battery in
Hold Volume up/down
plug USB cable to phone
plug USB cable to PC
Bam! Phone-!-PC
Update: Got my replacement phone.
Have SIM in
Have SD Card in
Leave Battery in
Turn off Phone
Hold Volume up/down
plug USB cable to phone
plug USB cable to PC
Instant Download mode!
Just as I read, it's a luck of the draw whether you have a TMobile Vibrant that has the 3 button key combo disabled. My first one doesn't have it. My second one does
So about 2 days ago I threw some songs onto my DX and ever since, it won't let me change usb mode back to charge only. It says it's set to charge only but when I plug it into the pc usb port I can browse as if it were mass storage. This is a problem because I've lost pictures and songs in the past by having it set to this option. It also takes forever to scan the entire 20GBs of storage I have on there after each disconnect making my phone pretty much unusable for an hour. Anyone know where else I can set the USB mode aside from the drop-down?
I had a problem with the phone never being able to be set to Charge Only and I finally figured out what it was.
I had WinAmp installed on my phone and there is an option to auto-mount when USB is connected, this setting takes effect even if the phone is set to Charge Only.
So if you have WinAmp, or another program that does an auto-mount on USB connect, find out which program it is, and un-set the option
Didn't want to make a mess of this issue but I had noticed this since the OTA Froyo update...
i had the same problem but mine was a bad usb cable
So I don't have winamp....and the stupid phone corrupted my entire sd card and froze repeatedly. I used recuva to get everything back and it seems to be working ok. I haven't plugged it into a pc yet.

...also the phone woke me a up a few times during the night with music. I think it's posessed!
2.3.4 - unlocked/rooted
Tried several PCs/Macbook. Tried several cables...
Plug the phone into USB and it charges but isn't recognised by the PC/Mac and phone does not recognise it's connected to USB.
Also, power off phone when it's connected to USB it hangs just before powerdown. Progress stops spinning and it sits hung. Unplug USB at this hung point and it powers down immediately.
Boot into recovery mode (Power/Volume up) and connect to USB - Reboot bootloader still not recognised by PC.
In recovery choose Power off whilst USB connected, again it just hangs - 'POWER OFF' highlighted in blue to confirm selection, but phone just hangs at that point unti USB disconnected, at which point it powers down immediately. It will reboot if you choose reboot option from recovery menu...
My phone won't transfer data but charges too. Except mines is a hardware issue. Dropped the phone on its USB port while plugged in. All loose now

Installed cyan rom. No difference.
Phone still won't shutdown when USB plugged in. As soon as you remove USB down she goes immediately, so as I suspected it's deeper than a ROM issue.
Boot phone into standard recovery mode with USB plugged in, Choose reboot bootloader, info messages displayed
USB Control Init
USB Control Init End
Top line shows 'FASTBOOT MODE'
Still not recognised by PC/Mac.
'ADB devices' shows no devices.
'fastboot devices' shows no devices
Searching around this seems to be a 'known' issue, but the fixes I've seen documented say power down phone whilst plugged into USB, which obviously I can't do as it hangs.
PITA this as I use it as an app development phone
Hi.
Last week I noticed that my I9000 running CM9 has no charging symbol on the indicator. Then I tried to shut down the phone and just charge it turned off, but it immediately booted itself to OS when I connected the cable. When I connected it to computer it just charged without charging symbol and nothing happened. Computer didn't detect it, and the phone also did not detect the computer.
Then I tried to wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik cache) and flashing a new CM10 rom (I had to transfer .zip to phone via bluetooth ) . I also cleaned the connector with alcohol and checked the leads on PCB and everything seems fine. But it still doesn't work.
This morning when I connected it to computer it recognized it and phone asked me to choose USB mass storage. But after few seconds the computer reported malfunctioning USB device. After I disconnected the cable charging symbol remained on like it's still connected. Then I rebooted the phone and again there is no charging symbol and no communication with computer. I also tried few other USB cables (another samsung, SE, nokia...)
Is there anything else I can try or should I start saving the money for a new phone?

If you connect it to your pc in download mode, does Odin recognize it?

No. Nothing happens. I also can't find it in device manager.
Sounds like it might be borked alright. Though if it's still charging then at least you won't have to rush out and by a new phone. Try removing your microsd card and formatting your internal storage, before you connect it. Long shot, but it might work :-/
I haven't connected the phone to pc in quite a while tbh, I usually just download the latest version of Cyanogenmod straight from the browser to update, and use dropbox to send any files I need from my PC. e.g. new songs, videos etc. Though obviously if I was reloading all my music/videos I'd need the usb connection to work.
hi. well, i expected this and im doomed.... i had my phone in the fastboot mode and i tried everything i could. i tried the solution and now what happened is the phone is dead.
what happens now is well nothing. it does not power on, it does not go to download mode, it does not go to recovery, it does not even go to the fastboot mode.
when i connect to pc, via usb cable, only thing that comes on my pc is multiple like 10 new drives and it asks me to format them before use. the screen turns on but only show black color. it does not even show LG logo. only black color. when i remove usb and press and hold power button phone turns off. its not even charging.
can any one tell me any solution to this?
See in general there is a thread. If you see multiple partitions then its still fixable. See the thread from no download mode etc as title

Make sure the phone is turned off. I had the same issue. Press power button for 15 seconds or so. Then press volume up,then connect to pc/laptop. It will enter dl mode.

Agreed - I've also experienced this. The phone doesn't power down if you're still connected via USB, so make sure you've unplugged it, and then ensure that you're powered down by holding the power button for a while. Then, while holding down VolUp, connect the USB cable. You may need to try this a few times.
