Please make Suggestion to Solve

I just got the Vibrant and I cannot get my computer to see the sd or fixed memory card. I have win 7 pro 64. I downloaded the usb driver for the galaxy 9000 and I went to the Canadian website and got Kies. I can now in Kies see the F and G drive (I assume F is sd and G the fixed Memory) but I cannot access. I go to the hardware devices menu in Win 7 and There is the phone and it sees the Vibrant and sees both flash drives but they are grayed out. So i need a suggestion on what to do. Would this get resolved if I loaded (or if I could load) Eugene's TW v3 or is there a better down load I can get from the apps store that would resolve this. please help thanks....

1. Plug phone into pc
2. On phone slide notification bar down.
3. Follow steps on drop down for mounting USB.

[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.

[Q] Having trouble rooting

Ok so I picked up an Atrix running 2.2.2 and I read the easy root thread and tried the exe bandbinnovationsdotcom/xda/GingerBreak.exe had no luck opening that. So I am just going to go ahead and do it the manual way but I am confused on where to move the adb files to and confused on the cmd prompts. somebody please help

Gingerbreak is an app you install on your phone. Not a pc app

The exe file in question pushes the gingerbreak apk to your phone
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

How do I get Gingerbreak onto my phone then? Sorry for being stupid this is just alot more complicated than Captivate

I Saved the .exe to my phones storage but when i try to open it on my phone it says unable to open

Run the exe file on your computer with the phone plugged in with debugging mode enabled.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

the exe does nothing when i click on it it says run or save, i click run it does nothing i save it to my desktop and then run it still does nothing

Is gingerbreak now on your phone?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

No, I just did the manual one with the cmd and it ran some prompts but nothing happend on my phone, no reboot or gingerbreak on it

Go into command prompt on your computer and navigate to where you have adb. You can get it from superoneclick. Then type adb devices. This should verify that your phone is connected properly. If this fails you will have to research yourself howto connect it. This is what i believe is the problem.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

yeah it says list of attached devices and none are listed.

You need "USB mass storage" set as your option on phone when plugged into PC and "USB debugging" selected on phone also.
In other words your SDcards need to be unmounted for the Gingerbreak.exe to install the app on your phone when ran from PC.

usb mass and usb debugging are both on..

Then when you run .exe on PC you should then see Gingerbreak app after on phone. Run the app on the phone. The .exe only installs Gingerbreak. Still have to run it on phone. You will see nothing on your PC after selecting run. There is no message saying install is complete.

Well google a guide to setup adb as that is what is failing
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

It's nothing to do with adb. Connect phone, run Gingerbreak on pc, look in app drawer on phone for Gingerbreak, run Gingerbreak on phone, uninstall Gingerbreak as it's not needed after.
Beamed in from WinBorg 4G via XDA Premium app

Yes but all the exe file does is use adb to sideload gingerbreak.apk AFAIK. No adb=no sideloading=no gingerbreak
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

Ah, gotcha! Can get adb from superoneclick I think. There is a guide somewhere on XDA.
Beamed in from WinBorg 4G via XDA Premium app

Just read the Gingerbreak install instructions again. The .exe should do everything for you. That's what it implies.

Yea I have read over and over if I try the exe it does nothing.. Tried doing the sdk **** and the adb stuff and got lost haha

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
