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.

I have a mytouch 3g 36b and I installed the latest CM6 and everything was working fine, until my usb stopped charging, no usb connection to any pc. Everything else seems to be ok. I tried reflashing CM6 and even CM5, I went back the 1.6 hoping that would do it, but it doesnt work.
Am I screwed? What can I do? Please help someone.
Sounds like a hardware issue with your phones USB port. Try getting it fixed/replaced under warranty if you have one.

I got it to work, i unrooted and went back to 1.5 and the USB ports started to work again. This is not my phone so I am not going to bother messing with it any more, I will just let it update OTA and be done with it.
I had no problems with my phone.
Weird.

Sorry to bring this back up from the dead, but I appear to have a similar issue. Although i know it is not your phone would it be possible in some way to obtain the misc.img from that phone or if you have a working magic?
I hear that some desires have some success in re-flashing a corrupted misc partition to fix a similar usb brick issue and I was wondering if I could do the same.
All you would need to do is type this in terminal
su
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
and grab it off the sdcard
Have done done searching, but still can't get my phone to connect to my computer. I've tried everything that I've found posted. Doesn't mean I found then all.

Yes. Tried my wifes. Tried one from my BB. Tried de-bugging mode. Tried rebooting while connected. Lol

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.
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?

Hi guys,
I know it's supposed to be virtually impossible to brick the epic but I don't know how to fix mine using the threads in this forum.
I originally rooted my phone, installed Clockworkmod and had the genocide Kernel installed.
This morning I tried to flash the Bonsai rom. Everything seemed fine and I got the message that the flash was successful. Upon reboot the phone just stays stuck at the Samsung screen.
I've tried to use Odin to reset my phone but Odin doesn't detect my phone and anything I try to do within the recovery screen gives me the message that says
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
Can anyone help me get my working again? And what do you think went wrong in my attempt to flash Bonsai? Could it have been that I already had Genocide kernel on there?
If Odin isn't detecting your phone, try rebooting PC and use a different USB port and cable, if possible.

Are you in download mode when you are using Odin? If not... open keyboard while phone is off and hold down 1 and the power button. If that's not the problem try another cable.

I am in download mode. I will try to reboot my laptop and change the USB port. Hopefully that works. If not it won't be until tomorrow when I have access to different cables. Will let you know how it goes.
Have you successfully used Odin with this particular laptop and cable?

As long as you can get to Download mode, you Epic shouldn't be bricked
Instead of using Odin, try the SWUPdate version of the EB13 update with the phone in download mode

When I used odin to flash to Froyo I was using my desktop. This was my first time using the laptop. Looks like it was a bad idea!
I rebooted the laptop and changed USB ports and still no cigar. When I plug the phone in Windows goes into it's plug n play routine trying to install drivers for the devices which unsuccessfully install. I've previously installed the Samsung drivers on the laptop in order to mount the SD card so I'm not sure why doesn't recognize the phone. Any idea on why this happens? Is it normal when the phone bricks?
It won't be until late tonight Pacific time or tomorrow that I will be home and able to try things out on my desktop where I previously used Odin successfully.
U should use your desktop for this since its worked for u in the past

I think a PC reads the phone differently depending on what mode its in, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Mine has come up as a disk drive, an adb interface, a modem, and just plain phone. Not sure of the exact reason.
But yes, use the PC that's worked for you before. I'm sure your Epic just needs a little love

Thanks guys, I'll try it on my PC as soon as I can and hopefully it'll all work out.
I had a similar situation where my netbook would not recognize my phone, but everything works normally on my desktop.
I had the same problem. I think to fix it I had to run the one click root for ext4 and then flash the rom. Hope this helps.
I had a similar problem but was able (eventually) to get cwm to boot and restored from nandroid
Swyped from my Epic on Bonsai
Thanks for the suggestions guys! It was as simple and unintuitive as using my desktop and the cable that came with the phone to get Odin to detect the phone. I'm now flashing back to stock before rooting and putting on a custom ROM
Glad to hear it went well

I tried to install a new font with Font Installer, as it had worked in the past, but my phone then got stuck in a boot loop. I had already gotten rid of my backup after I found out that PA wasn't going to be updated until 4.4, so I thought there was no need for a Nandroid until then. I do not seem to have any PA ROM .zip's on my phone anymore.
A couple weeks ago, my usb port stopped working and everytime I try to plug something into the port, it begin to heat up and there is a burning smell. So I cannot transfer anything through usb.
So I made a factory reset and then wiped the system and now when I try to reboot, TWRP says "No OS Installed." When I proceed and the phone reboots, I am stuck on the screen with "Google."
Is there any way I can fix this?

First of all it is a good lesson why you always have to keep a nandroid backup.
Ia the USB on your PC is the problem? Can't you go to other PC and transfer a zip to your nexus?
I guess that USB is the only way.. You obviously can't use WiFi or bluetooth. Find a PC and do it.
Good luck.

You're right about that.
No, the usb on my N4 is the problem. Plugging any usb cable into the port doesn't work. No computer can recognize the device and the device is unable to charge through usb either.
I'm very sorry and it's painful to say but I can't think of any solution.. Maybe only to fix your USB port..
