Also you have the samsung usb/phone driver installed on the computer ?
Make sure that USB debugging is enabled on your phone and it should show up as two removable drives on your mac.

Whenever i plug in my i9000, it just pop up an error msg ÜSB Device not recognized. I'm trying to get Kies to recognize my i9000
I tried following this but it doesnt work at all.
it worked for me on kies, but i didn;t like it anyways
What i did was go to settings --> about phone --> usb settings
and try the other options (i'm using media player option, not sure why mass storage doesn't work)
Did you try to change the usb ports on your pc (stick the cable into different usb ports)?

changing the usb port does help, however when i unplug it and restart my com, it does not recognize it anymore
What OS are u running?
Could also have something to do with the number of irq's on your motherboard.
PC's older then aprox. 3/4 years have less irq's and can have trouble with much external devices

Have a look at this site from HardwareZone.com.
It's heavily populated but you only need to read the last five or so pages.

yeah i am looking at that thread too, however thanks for the link here, good for documentation as well, appreciated
keevy17, u have the phone already? If yes, you could help us resolve our questions in last pages of this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694835&page=9
Q: Are there any notifications (on screen, backlight of buttons, ...) about missed calls, new mails, sms? Is there any notification when u charge the battery and the battery is fully charged?
Thanks in advance.
The default USB connection is to activate Samsung Kies. You'll have to go to settings->About Phone->USB Settings to change. If it doesn't work after changing, soft reset the phone and try again.
Caused me a bit of head scratching until I went through the options.
Now am having same problem, can'r see mass storage in my computer.
I think I read you need to enable USB Debugging then it will work. for both of you I believe.
With USB debug i can only use adb, nothing works. If i disable debug i can copy files via MTP protocol but mass storage doesn't work.
Edit.
Found the problem, it doesn't mount it self like Desire/N1 i had mount it my self. All working.

hassan,
I've not yet had a chance to use the phone yet. Can you tell me how you mount the USB in order to use it with a PC?

It was bit tricky to start with as i thought my phone is broke. First go to setting > About > USB Settings > and select Ask on connection. Plug the cable in to the and from drop down notification bar and hit USB connected then you get the option to mount the mass storage.

If you want kies to work with the phone, dont kill MTP.. But kies is acting weird, soemtimes it doesnt see the phone, but after unplug and replug it works again.. I've given up on kies actually, over 100MB to download and worst than some beta software i've used.
also, i cannot get samsung apps to work on kies, it just error or timeout.. you guys hv any luck?
I haven't tried kies yet, i'll try when i get home from work.
Anybody know how to mount on a Mac? I tried changing the USB settings to Mount/Media, no luck. Any help would be appreciated.
I can connect the i9000 to my PC using mass storage mode and see it as an USB disk, but it doesn't work on my Mac, it recognize nothing (I have chosen to mount the drive after connected to the USB as I did the same when connecting to Windows). I can see there is a Samsung USB device connected in the System Profiler but the disk won't mount, any clues?
Thanks.
I have the very same problem. Works in PC, not on my iMac.
You need to enable USB debugging and after that it will work.

Yep. Speaking as a Mac OS X user I can confirm this works.
The is no way to flash from a Mac though. However, I have high hopes for ROM Manager

Of course it's to be done on the phone. Sorry, I should have been more specific.
I've enabled USB Debugging and can't get my mac to recognize my phone to use it as a USB storage device?!?! I'm running ICS 4.0.3 XXLPB. I didn't have any problem at first with GB. Any suggestions? Thanks! =)
EDIT: Silly me, wrong forum my phone is i9100.... Still would appreciate any help.
Has been working fine with no issues. I have windows 7 ultimate x64. I never get the option to mount when I plug it in. so I tried a different pc and still no luck. I'm not rooted. Restarted my phone, remounted my memory still no luck. Please help.

Turn on USB Debugging.
Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging
Worked for me
First, make sure you are using the pull down menu on your phone to select mount sd card. If that isn't the problem then you probably need to download and install the drivers from samsung on your computer. There is a link I'm sure you can find in the xda forums with a step by step directions for this exact problem.

Hi happened to me too.
Type *#7284#, so you'll enter PhoneUtil and be sure both the "UART" and the "USB" are set on PDA!

Help!
I rooted my Galaxy 3 and since then i can only connect and transfer data between my phone and my computer by allowing USB debug mode. It used to work without a driver installed on my pc (only data transfer mode like with a pendrive), but now my laptop (which doesn't have Kies on it) doesn't recognize it. I tried it with my TV and it said "unsupported USB device". It used to work as a pendrive but now nothing recognizes it:---( Please help:-C

Hi! There is no notification bar on the phone screen, because it's blinking. Or you mean this notification should be on the computer?
Thank you in advance!

What he is trying to say, is wich is the default action when you connect the USB.
Example: every time that you connect the USB the phone gets into Kies mode, or Mass Storage.
My G3 is configured to ask what to do...

Hi, just a slight problem. I happen to select charge only for the USB connection and now I can't unselect it to transfer files. I checked online and see in storage in the overflow menu when I select it USB computer connection comes up put when I press it I just get a message "USB is now disconnected". Nothing else. How do I reselect MTP again?
Thanks,

Just go to Settings than select Developer Options, scroll down to find Select USB Configuration. It's a long page, so scroll down slowly and carefully.

My developer options doesn't have this setting. I'm not sure how to do a screen shot but under that section is:
On
Development tools
Take bug report
Advanced reboot
Desktop backup password
Stay awake
HDCP checking
Enable Bluetooth HCI snoop log
Process stat
Root access
Updaye Cyanogen recovery.
Then it goes into Debugging.
Should I be looking somewhere else?
Thanks,
I have found that I can't enable Android Debugging which has the switch greyed out.
I see it says in the subheading "Device is in charging mode, USB debugging is disabled".
Maybe if I can enable the debugging somehow I can get the phone out of charge only mode.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
I have found its not actually greyed out. Just not responding to tapping.
Hi see this problem has been mentioned here:
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...sb-debugging-after-upgrading-to-android-5-1-1.
'm trying to find "persist.sys.usb.config" to delete it as a fix but haven't found it yet.
Already tried that. Selecting 'USB Computer Connection' displaying message 'USB is now disconnected' (even when it's not connected to a cable)

Seems like you are using custom ROM, I'm on stock, nothing much I can do to help. Is the driver correctly installed? How did the Windows response to USB connection with USB debugging off? With the USB debugging on, it will ask for authorization when connected. I believe "persist.sys.usb.config" is part of build.prop, so it's kinda risky to play with, but if you manage to find that line (you may simply add # in front of it, just to be safe and in case you need it in the future).
Hi, thanks for your reply.
Windows shows nothing when I plug the phone in. It use to come up with the phone and SD card fine.
I'ts just that I can't turn debugging on. I'll have a look in build.prop and try the #
Thanks,
Any ideas where I put the #? I have attached the build.prop file.
Thanks,
