USB port problems (device not recognized) - Fascinate General

Well.. it seems to me that there has been an unusually high amount of people who are now getting the USB device not recognized error when plugging their phone into their computer. Myself included. I'm stuck on dj05 because of it.
Can everyone that's having this problem post what they've flashed and how? Or any other problems their having? Make sure to post what OS you are using, x64 or x86, stock cord or not, Samsung drivers version, etc. Maybe we can find a common theme between everyone having the problem, and figure out a way to fix it. Thanks!

Same problem. I was running DL30 with the Blackhole Rom. Just stopped working yesterday. Tried flashing stock, then DL05. Can't root, ADB doesn't see it, nothing. Can't mount either. Win7 64 keeps saying its a CD drive and tries to install the verizon drivers. Did that, still tries.

I thought considering I started the thread, I should probably post my configuration as well. I had no problems with USB until I flashed kaosinate. I'm sure this didn't have anything's to do with it but oh well. I also flashed the lasted kaosinate kernal. After that, I installed superclean with adryn.'s test kernal. Still nothing. If you look around, there are definitely quite a few reports of the phone being recognized as a CD drive. Adrynalyne reccomends flashing one of his new test kernals which has been reported by some to fix the problem. He says that he still has to reboot with the phone plugged in to have it recognized, however.
I an running windows 7 pro x64 with the lastest Samsung drivers. I only get the USB error when plugging the phone in while its In downlaod mode. Otherwise it is recognized as a CD drive. I guess this is what we get for flashing non stock firmware, Roms, etc. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to post them.

Randomly came back...flashed stock DI01, then DI05, then DI09, then back to DI05. Working now...it must have finally wiped some bad code or something...

OK, so I went to root the thing...when the root rebooted, it didn't work. I had to disconnect and reconnect the USB cable to get it to recognize again.

Did you use Odin? Where did you get the files from?

Running Windows 7 64bit

I finally got it to recognize. But it will not recognize when i boot into download so i can flash with odin...

Phone and SD Card Not Recognized

hello people... i need some help so hopefully someone can help me out. i recently had to restore back to DI01 using the restore file for odin. rooted again and installed DJ05. I then proceeded to install Super Clean Rom. after that i wanted to install something on my SD Card so i connected my USB and attempted to mount SD card but it doesn't show. i've tried installing and reinstalling the drivers but still a no-go. so i use boot camp to boot into Mac OSX and when i plug in my phone it reads that the disk is not readable. i'm using the original cable. i've tried going back to DI01 and back to DJ05 and it comes back then i lose it again. i run the root process again and at times adb will not recognize the device... any help is appreciated...
When you install dj05 are you also flashing dj05 modem via odin and also flashing dj05 kernel? You need to have all three in order for it to work. Hope this helps.

yeah, i flash the modem through odin then flash the rom and kernal through clockwork. funny thing is that it started working again on both ends. i rebooted my phone with the cable still on and all of a sudden i was able to mount my SD card. i disconnected the cable, reconnected again and same thing... won't remount. so i rebooted phone again with cable on and worked again. then rebooted into windows and i was able to mount SD card. i went back and forth rebooting into windows and mac osx and so far its working. don't know what happened or is happening but i'm not gonna turn off my comp or reboot my phone since i got it to work again... very strange. it all started when i used the DI01 restore file that adrynalyne supplied and the DJ05 odin files. maybe going back and forth flashing these files did something...
A lot of us are having that problem from the Odin DI01 package. The only solution is to reboot the phone while it is plugged into the computer. It will then recognize it until the next reboot. Not sure if this works on a Mac too as I have only tried it on a PC. There are a couple threads about this on android central forums for more info.

if youve installed the official drivers go to your settings/ applications/ developmentand make sure usb debugging is checked.. then plug ur phone in.. and pull down the drop bar on the phone.. one of the notifications should say usb connected.. click on it. and it will ask if you want to mount the device to pc.. click yes.. and this will finish the installation of ur drivers.. hope that helps

where did you dl the drivers?
also turn USB debugging mode ON
and then RESTART the phone.
this only works if the device is recognized as a CD-ROM
also you should be using the drivers from here

I was having the same problem after flashing dl30, I fixed it by going to usb settings then choosing ask for connection. After that plug the usb back in and choose mass storage....should work.

This worked for me. With your usb cable disconnected. Tap menu> settings> usb settings> ask on connection. Then plug your usb cable in and select mass storage mode.

Just wondering, you say your stuck on d101? If you know how to get back to stock and unroot, why don't you do that and then ota to dl09? Maybe the usb thing will straighten itself out once you update.

As most people would say, wrong place. This is a question that belongs in the general section.
Did you install the samsung driver onto your computer?

Did you try a different USB port?
Also I would suggest updating to EB01 since DL30 isn't supported by devs and is a less stable Froyo build. Uninstall the Samsung drivers, reboot, reinstall and try it again.
Mine quit working today....i disabled usb debug then did a battery pull. Rebooted..enabled usb all is well...

I've had this issue and have tracked it down to my BT dongle. Every time I use it on my win 7 64bit box I have to uninstall the Samsung drivers, then reinstall without the phone or the BT dongle plugged in.
Thanks for all the input. It finally started working. I installed another rom and kernel. But now I can't get odin to recognize the phone in download mode. Weird stuff....

I just ran into this myslef, and I believe the Fascinate has a bit of a multiple personality disorder. When I went through the Windows registry, I found entries listing the phone as a phone, as removable storage, as a SD card reader and as a CD drive. Nothing worked - no matter what I did, Windows wouldn't recognize it as anything.
To solve it, I had to uninstall the Samsung drivers and then search through the registry, removing anything that said Samsung. A bunch of keys gave me permission errors, but after finally removing them all, I connected the phone and it was immediately recognized as an Android Device. I reloaded the Samsung drivers and everything is back to normal.
A major PITA, but I'm just glad there was a solution.
If you want to try to do the same, uninstall the Samsung drivers, open regedit and search for Samsung. Delete any key that says Samsung (assuming you don't have any other Samsung peripherals). Hopefully you won't run into the permissions problems, but if you do, let me know and I'll walk you through how to get past them.
ChrisDDD, thank you. I will try that asap. That is some great information. I will report back my findings after I'm finished.

Well finally got around do working on this. And YES it worked. At least on my XP machine. Got some permission problems on my win 7 machine.
Chris, thanks for that bit of info. Only thing I had to do different than most was to reboot my phone in download from the menu that is installed with my kernel. I couldn't get it to work by pulling the batt and hooking up to pc. Funny stuff trying to get this stuff to work.

No odin......

Anything that I can try besides Odin to flash the EB01 modem with? I can't get odin, our my computer, to recognize my phone while in download mode.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do you the latest drivers?
Are you entering download mode with the battery out?
You gotta work on getting your pc to see your phone properly before you can even try odin, definitely need the right drivers, also can try rebooting phone while usb is plugged in.
Sent from my rooted froyo Fascinate
Ad far as I know I have the latest drivers. I finally got the pc to recognize the phone with it turned on to transfer files. So that tells me the drivers are working. And yes, entering dl mode by pulling batt. Not sure where to go from here.
Try all your USB ports. Are you using the original cord that came with your phone?
If you know how to use adb see if normal operations work

FYI I have one desktop and three laptops in my house. one laptop refuses to recognise my fascinate... all the others work fine. Oddly enough..that same computer recognises my friends fascinate. Neither the laptop or my desktop would recognise my droid x but my mothers laptop works fine with my x.
I beginning to think all phones have crappy usb drivers.
I eventually got my desktop to recognise the X too but I had to do some wanky driver cleaning and removing / reinstalling all the USB hardware detected by windows.. and some cab cleaning.
not even sure what worked.
stuff is wack...
I have started cleaning my register on my laptop. Just to see if that would work. Lol. Got to get some permissions worked out first though.

issue mounting sd

i seem to have a problem with mounting the internal storage on the phone, it doesnt ask me to mount when i plug the phone in like it normally would so i tried mounting through recovery but still cant do it through there, tried 3 different roms and all the same issue, are there any kernels with this issue? im running newest nscollab with the kernel it comes with...not sure what to do
are you running the latest recovery? can you use the storage space with apps on the phone?
I have been having the exact same problems. Nothing seems to work. Can't mount through CW and I have the most recent version. Randomly it started to work again by turning the phone off. Plugging phone into computer. Turning phone back on. It would recognize it until now. Now that doesn't work....
I am using Mac and Linux and neither one need drivers so that has nothing to do with it.
I'm screwed if I have to take the phone in for warranty work because I am rooted.
Anyone come up with something to fix this?
Or is there a way to "force it to mount?"
Its really f'in annoying

So it's showing the storage on the phone and not on the computer, correct?
Can you select to mount the USB when you plug it in?
Does the device show up in the System Profiler app in Mac OS X?

That is incorrect. It does not show up on the phone. When it shows up on the phone it mounts to the computer. It is not even recognizing it on the phone now. For awhile it was working and now its not again. Haven't done anything else to the phone.
When it doesn't show up on my phone it is not recognized by the system profiler.
Never had a problem with any other android device except on my epic 4g when I tried running the miui beta for it. But it would still mount in clockwork.
It is not the cable because I have four different cables. One of which works flawlessly on my epic. Which had a lot of problems when using the stock cable.
Is this hardware related or is it because of the rooting process?
What r some possible fixes if any?
I really would not mind going back to stock and starting over. But the only way to get back to stock is by USB. And nothing recognizes it. Adb. Fastboot. Odin (heimdall in Mac terms) nothing recognized it

okay, I had this issue when the nexus s 4g was first released and the first roms/recoveries came out. I would just start over. backup using titanium backup and flash the stock files in fastboot, then unlock again, flash the recoveries, etc.
How exactly would I revert to stock if commands from my computer in fastboot do not recognize the device?

Try es file explorer and give root access ... this was u can atleast access files from your phone...
PROBLEM SOLVED... at least for me
Found out when flashing to a stock rom (currently running MIUI) that my usb port on my phone is loose. Just have to be careful with it. Makes sense that it was randomly happening.
With MIUI it wouldn't show right away because I had it set to auto-mount. But when i flashed the stock rom. The pop-up to mount-sd would show up and go away show up and go away....
Darn.
