Do you have swap file on your sd card if yes,deactivate swap before connecting usb.

Hiya, 1st time poster, long time lurker :mellow: wondering for some advice. Upgraded to 2.2 using Cyanogens mod, brilliant. Phone charges on USB but doesn't appear to give me the option for USB
If I go into settings now, I have option to dismount for removal and formatting only. Theres no tab for Mass Storage. Had a quick search but haven't seen anyone with this issue, any ideas at all??
Thanks in advance for any help, hope I'm not missing something really obvious!
Cheers
Ric
I had the same problem once...
turn off USB debugging mode, then restart your phone and your PC. That worked for me. If it works after that, turn USB debugging back on.

Hiya cheers for stopping by! I've tried that with and without debugging and still no beans.. I'm not certain but I've used it since I loaded the ROM I think..
what about this
settings>sd card & phone storage>Mass storage only
There is no tab for Mass Storage for me to select now.
u may need to reflash again
There is no tab for mass storage device. Unless its hidden away somewhere else

in americandroid forum there is a discussion about usb problem. i hope it will be solved soon. if you can find one of former releases i.e. 2.3.3 you won't face this problem.
mass storage should be solved.....i use it.....
Hi
I've been using my Galaxy S as usual but today the phone/computer wont recognize it's connected as mass storage or kies.
There is no option on the phone to mount as it did before , all that pops up on windows 7 is usb drive not recognized
I searched on google and tried various things such as :
-USB debugging on and off
-Removing battery
-Trying different cable
-Trying different computer
-Factory data reset
-Formatting internal SD card
-Switching Laptop on + off/restarting
-Uninstalling/reinstalling drivers + Kies
I use the standard launcher and havent changed anything up to the point when it was working.
Does anybody have any suggestions. Im pretty sure its still in warranty however i purchased new on ebay last year so im not sure how all this warranty stuff works.
Do you use an external sd card? If so try this: put it out, turn phone off and on and try once more to connect

Yeah i think your external sd is ether corrupt or broken. i bet if you leave it out completly the phone gets recognized as it should.
Save your external sd data on pc (if you havent already) wipe your external sd and see if it works
If not you unfortunately have to buy a new one, at best from a different brand.

Did you update your firmware recently? I updated from 2.2 to 2.3.3 and it has a few issues, including not being able to connect as mass storage yesterday (though I had no such issue for the past few weeks).

Firmware was updated to 2.3.3 in may but haven't had any such problem with it until now
After trawling google some post said that they switched on their bluetooth connection and then connected to mass storage and hey presto i did this and all seems to be working again. Seems very strange but for those of you who stumble across this thread.
Switch on your bluetooth and then connect the usb cable.
In my case it connected without issue.
Switched off the bluetooth and tried and it connected without issue...so it could possibly something to do with bluetooth who knows?
Appreciate everyones input thankyou
Hi!
I have the same problem. Windows can't recognize my phone, even in download mode.
I have tried the bluetooth on-off trick, without success. I have no micro-sd card in the phone. I tried on 3 pc, and in my Macbook Pro.
Can someone help me?
Thanks,
David
p.s.: Sorry about my english.
Have you tried with other USB cabel ???? I had problem with my USB and recognizing phone on pc, even with instaling drivers :-( (sorry for bad english)
Sent from my Galaxy S using Tapatalk
Also been in this situation. Couple of things I learnt:
1. make sure you have a well charged battery
2. fiddle with the usb connection on the sgs: it gets loose and is not always good, press the cable up and see if the pc gives the usb connnect sound
3. uninstall the existing Samsung drivers and then re-boot, then re-connect the usb and let windows find its own drivers or install the latest Samsung drivers posted here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956) -- but that guide also says, reboot the computer after installing the drivers prior to trying to connect the usb again. Its a windows thing: you must reboot after either install or uninstall the drivers.
Most probably it should be the USB cable, there is something wrong with your cable/port.
I had the exact same problem. I took my phone back to the dealer where the manager messed with it for half an hour. In the end he got it working by removing the sd card and power cycling the phone 3 times removing the battery each time. Presto, I haven't had the same problem since.

Sometimes a very careful tweak of the pins in the port can help, and it is not unknown for the soldering to be cracked, so both worth checking also a clean with a suitable cleaner can help

Is your cable a original one ??? or ??
Hello,
I have just installed MIUI.us.ICS-Leo-2.5.25-HWA today. While installing I found that I cannot go to USB storage on SD card through plug in the USB cable.
I am facing this problem from today suddenly. My HTC HD2 USB storage does not connect through USB cable. So I cannot go to SD card storage file. When I connect the USB cable it does not give prompt that "Open USB Storage Now?". If I go to status bar notification to see if the connection made or not and it does not show "USB storage On".
I had to go to recovery mode and then to mount USB storage to install new rom in to the SD card.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem please.

No I did not as the current one is awesome. Do you think changing rom might solve the problem?
ICS Port that you use still doesn't natively support USB Mass Storage.
Use this .apk please.

..And follow this page for this ROM.

Im having an issue with TWRP 2.2.2.0.
It seems that I cant mount USB storage from the recovery at all. I can hear the sound on my lappy that a USB device is connected but when I try to mount through the recovery, nothing shows up on my computer. I tried mounting all the options there with no luck. Is this a known issue or have I messed up with my Nexie somewhere?
Thanks in advance fellow forumites.
Are you trying with usb otg? as in, cable and flash drive?

I couldn't figure that out either, I'm also using twrp. I had to use adb to transfer files. I don't think you messed up your nexie.

I am having the same problem.
With my Kindle Fire I could connect with a USB cable and see all the files on my pc, just like it was a drive. I can't get that to work on my N7. The only way I can do it is to use WIFI File explorer which works great, but I would still like to get the cable to do it's thing if possible.

Im trying to access the internal storage of the N7 from within the recovery. And it seems impossible :S
Right now for example, I wanted to do a NAND backup but I forgot to delete the previous one and Im out of space. The only thing I can do is reboot back to the system, plug in the usb and delete the backup, then reboot into recovery and backup -.- I wanted to avoid just that but it seems that USB mount doesnt work in TWRP at all. Is anyone using CWMR and can report wether it works there? I would re-flash the recovery in an instant...
Plugging my device into my PC, there is a TWRP folder that contains the backup I made. Couldn't you do this and just delete that folder? I'm not in debugging mode.
Some times windows detect USB device but fail to attribute a letter for that mass storage device. Look at disk managment for storage device without a letter.

I'm used to do all that stuff from within the recovery on my phone... So Im looking for the same thing for my Nexie. My biggest concern is that I wanted to have USB mount from within the recovery in case my Nexus fails to boot so I can transfer a new ROM and flash it with ease. Dont want to mess with ADB for basic stuff. I can access the storage when its booted normally just fine, its the recovery mount thats bothering me...
