Hello all, Dutman here. My g1 works flawlessly and it is rooted(JF 1.43) but I seem to have a problem. when I connect it via usb the LED lights up and it shows me it's charging,, but it doesn't ask me to mount files or the USB in general. This could be due to the fact that I am missing the little usb cover piece, the one that is like really bendable, it sort of fell off. I don't have that anymore, could that be the problem in why my G1 isn't syncing?
Try rebooting your phone, i found sometimes with JF firmware for one reason or another the mount does not work after long periods of use... probly nothing but worth a try. If you are using a Windows 2000, XP, or Vista computer, it should just work automatically so my advice would be to try it on another computer to determine if your computers the issue.

Not likely. Power cycle your G1 as suggested by crackmunky and verify that your USB host controllers are functioning correctly within Device Manager.
If you are using a USB hub, try plugging directly into the PC. I've had no end of trouble syncing windows mobiles in the past when connecting through a hub.
Trouble syncing
Okay, My G-1 is connected through the USB 2.0 cable directly to my computer and it is not recognizing it at all. I open the My Computer link, and it says that there is a Mobile phone. And it has a removable hard drive thing. But I click on the removable HD link and it tells me to insert a disc. And I click on the phone, and it is telling me there is nothing there. Please help, I would really like to sync up with my PC at home so that I can add music and tones to my phone.
OS is Windows XP SP2
G-1 is Firmware 1.1
does the phone show that there is an SD card in it?

If you look at the taskbar on the top of the G1 screen, you should see the USB icon up there on the left. Drag that taskbar down (same as you drag your Menu up) and you should see a bar that says "USB Connected". Click that bar and you will get an option to Mount your device.
I had the very same issue when I first got my G1. It took me forever to realize I could drag the top taskbar down.
When I open the SD Card cover on my phone the system unmounts the disk. I suspect that it has everything to do with your missing dust cover.

I don't understand your reaction.
I just verified it again, went to he sd and phone storage option in settings from the home screen. opened the SD card slot cover, rotated it down (if the phone is flat face up, my cover was facing the floor) and the SD card section goes from

nope didnt happen for me... maybe my phone doesnt have that function....lol..
I bought mine retail the week of valentines day, maybe it is a different version. I'm running the stock ROM 1.1, I didn't get it OTA in a timely fashion so I forced it. Three days is fine for a spread, but "by the end of the month maybe" is stupid.
After months of no problems yesterday I plugged my phone in for its nightly charge and noticed that it did not trigger the usual USB mount prompt.
I assumed it was Windows, but I have a bunch of machines and operating systems so I checked and they all has the same result. I switched out cords and did a complete power reset (taking battery out) no change.. The Phone charges through the USB but the computers say "unrecognized usb device" and cannot mount the phone as a drive and the phone does not offer the option as it used to???
I don't recall getting any sort of update that might have related to this?
This is the original T-mobile version
This happens to me all the time. However a restart of my phone and computer solves the issue.

Go over changes you made to your phone recently.
only flashing another ROM worked for me... try reflash ur ROM, and wipe stuff if it doesnt work

How do you do that without USB connectivity?
It is very frustrating, maybe a hardware fail? I see just enough post relating to the issue that makes me know it is real but not sure how to resolve,, Do we have to go to Best Buy? or is there a direct Samsung route?
This too happens to me. Whenever I plug it into my laptop on the top USB slot, it doesn't recognize it. If I plug it in on the bottom USB slot, it does. Not sure why. This, however, is only the case if I'm using a different USB cable than the one that came with the phone itself. Once again, not sure why.
Perhaps you are using an alternative USB? Or plugging in on the top? Not sure how I can help you more than that, sorry. Hope you find a fix!

Using official OEM cable that came with the phone. And, again, USB worked fine until I manually installed 2.3.4.
Well It is off to Samsung for repair
After time on phone with them and a factory reset belief is that the usb connector is defective. BTW Best Buy just hands off to Samsung 1-800 #
So Back to a barely functional G-1 for a while, glad I could find it!

Recently started happening to me, needed to transfer some files off, had to resort to dropbox etc.. rebooted phone+computer ,still not working.
Came good a few days later using same equipment, same cable,
Mysteriously fixed itself ?
I've have a 16 GB Sandisk Cruzer usb drive that I'm trying to use with my dock but I can't get it to work consistently. Here's the problem. It recognized it twices and I have plugged it in and takes it out many many times. I don't know what the key is to make it recognize it every time. I've tried undocking then redocking it with the drive in and nothing. I must have done something magically the two times that it work
I'm having a similar issue with the same stick. Once I get it to work, after removing and trying to use it again, the notification for it'll appear and then disappear just as quick and it's not under 'removable'. I have to reset for the tab make it available. Reformatting it (FAT32) didn't help.

What file system does the usb drive use (FAT, FAT32, NTFS)?
Mark.
Fat32 is the most used format around here, if i remember right, from several posts.

Remember Honeycomb is still in VERY early stages of release. Im sure everything will be fixed in time either by Google or xda devs
Mark.
If a device isn't being recognized consistently, it's probably Honeycomb at fault.
Like Mark said, it is still new... And it was rushed, too.
Yet it recognizes my 1GB Memorex just fine every time

Some people are having no problems with cards and others can't get anything working. I guess there is some dependancy on the make of card, file system used and the time of day

I've got the same Sandisk thumbdrive, I've created just a single FAT32 partition on it (got rid of the U3 partition) and when I plug it into my dock the light on the thumbdrive illuminates but I never receive any indication the OS sees it. I mean, should I expect to be able to see it in File Manager? What exactly are you guys referring to when you say "it recognizes it"?

Just like with a microSD or a dock, on the lower right side, notification of the connection should appear and when it does, you should be able to access the stick either there (like with the microSD) or through the file manager.

Thanks, that makes sense. What doesn't make sense is that Honeycomb on the Transformer just ignores this thumbdrive, other than providing power to it.
But I just tried a 2GB mini-SD card inside of an adapter inside of a Lexar Jumpdrive and that did work. So I guess it's a Sandisk thing...
Well pretty much as the title says. I have never had a issue with it before, but as of today it will not for the life of me mount. I sometimes (after many tries) get the windows 7 pc to the mass storage device but when I click on it it just loads forever before freezing up and failing to load any files from the phone. Then after being disconnected and reconnected I cant even get it to let me mount the device.. When I click mass storage it goes to the confirm mount page, but when i try to mount it again it just clicks but nothing happens.
I have no idea what is up. I have ordered a new usb cable but im not sure thats the problem.
Has anyone else had this issue? What was the sollution you came across that fixed it for you. Any help is appreciated.
Plug it in and go to device manager. Delete it from device mgr if it shows up. Reboot.... plug it back in after reboot and see if it recognizes it. Should reinstall itself and recognize.
Let me know......

Had the same issue about the time I first moved to GB, turned out to be the cable but the timing of when it happened had me pretty twisted.

I can once again see the device (drive H but when i click to view or explore it completely locks up the window. So its unable to access the device but it does however know its there. I can access my device with adb as i tried it to see if I can atleast get it to communicate.. but have no way of accessing the sdcard via mass storage :-(
*update* Well I really wanted to get some files (audiobooks) sent over.. so I gave the kies air a go... That seems to be a decent temp fix.. and over a gigabit connection to my wireless N phone the transfer speeds are probably on par if not faster than usb... atleast it seems so.
prolly the cable
happened to me before
the sdcard can be read through an sdcard reader, just not through the phone.
The usb cable would charge the phone but it wouldnt connect for NOTHING. I would tap connect, it would press but then unpress as if nothing happened. just following the motion of my finger.
Found a BB cable a couple weeks later after i lost my stock one, and my phone was picked up by odin,adb, sd card, blah blah blah
it was so funny cuz i was blaming my pc for it instead of the cable cuz it worked so well for me before until i plugged my phone in on a friends comp and it didnt pick it up, but when i used his HD2 cable, it went through without a hitch.
TL;DR
Kies air will do till your new cable comes in.
Are they any issues or quirks with the phone reading the sd card? We've had a rash of epics come in lately where the sd card port has gone bad. Just making sure it's not that (but it's a very easy fix, the port is actually removable and we get them shipped to us as a new part.)

I get this on froyo, can't connect, every once in a blue moon it does, when it dosnt I use dropbox, kies air works good also. But on GB it works everytime, same cable, go figure
Hey y'all, appreciate the help in advance.
I have been running CM7 on an SD card for the Nook Color. I like it, and haven't had many problems at all. However, one thing that has been buggy is connecting to a PC.
At first, I could connect sometimes, and see both the internal device memory and the SD card. Then it seemed sort of hit and miss.
Now, I can't connect to my PC at all. I rebooted back into the stock Barnes and Noble system, but my PC won't recognize that either.
I tried a different PC, and two "drives" showed up, but when I tried to look at them, the computer asked me to insert a device. In other words, I still couldn't access either the SD or the emmc.
I see that in Cm7 I have some sort of "debug" or "USB" mode. But when I plug in, nothing happens on either the PC or the NC, whether it is in CM7 or the stock OS.
I can't find where to turn "debugging" on in CM7.
I can pull out the micro SD and the computer will read it -- but only the boot sector, not the part where I keep all my books.
Any help is DEEPLY appreciated. Thanks.
Also (unrelated) does anyone know if ICS CM9 has netflix working yet?
THANKS,
RevTom

USB debugging is under settings, applications, development, Android debugging (or USB debugging under older roms). To turn on USB mass storage, after plugging in, swipe up notification area and choose to turn on storage. It is not automatic on cm7 like it was on stock.
No, Netflix still not working on CM9.
Hmmm. I had it on already, but no notification pops up when I plug into the computer via usb. I also have the "debugging notify" option selected. I did think I had it on, since it *used* to work.
ON the PC I get a "USB device not recognized" message. ON the NC itself, I get no message at all. It behaves as if it is not plugged in -- no notifications, nada.
Tried plugging into my wife's mac also, to no effect.
When I go back to Nook Stock OS, I no longer get the little black box that tells me I'm in usb connect mode. In the stock OS, it also behaves as if I'm not even plugged in, and I get the exact same message from the PC.
Could it possibly be that my cord has gone bad? I've done a little research, and I know some stock Nook users have had trouble with cords. Mine is almost two years old, but I haven't abused it. It still seems to work fine for charging.
Very frustrating....

It could be, but the fact that your nook shows USB debugging notification makes me wonder. But the fact that you are having trouble with both roms suggests that it is the cable.
To clarify: debugging, and debugging notification are ON, but when I plug in, there is NO notification.
However, like you, the fact that the stock ROM won't connect either makes me wonder.
An SD card root like I've done wouldn't mess with the stock ROM on the emmc, would it? Would it change the hardware or firmware to cause this problem?
'Preciate your time!

No, it does nothing to stock. You have a bad cable. The 'data' lines are broken somewhere along the cable or fittings. You can still charge with it because the power and ground lines are intact.
Edit: If you don't want to spend a lot of money getting a new nook cable, you can use your defective cable for charging and a standard micro USB cable for data transfer. Those work fine for hooking to PC as long as you don't try to charge with them.
Thanks,
I took it to a B&N store. I removed the SD card because I felt like a boot legger -- but anyway, they tried a new cable and it worked with Stock, so it WAS the cable.
Thanks!
You may get ADB and/or Storage working if you (re)install the drivers:
scour through Device Manager:
View menu... check show hidden devices
Look for any of the following sections and remove tem:
"Android Phone"
"Android ADB Interface"
"Android Composite ADB Interface"
"Android Bootloader Interface"
Additionally... in USB controllers... you want to check each device listed ... (Properties / Details / Hardware IDs) and remove any that begin with any of the followng:
USB\VID_0451
USB\VID_18D1
USB\VID_2080
USB\VID_22B8
USB\VID_0BB4
USB\VID_0BDA
Then re-install the drivers.
Thanks Dizzy. It was just the cord. I reloaded CM7 (i.e. put the sd card back in) and all my computers recognize it again, and I get the USB/debug notification on the NC again. As computerist diagnosed, I must have broken the internal data carrying cables without hurting the power connections. I did some research and a LOT of people have had issues with NC cables. Mine lasted 18 months, and I did not abuse it, so it isn't a great system. Hopefully this next one will last longer.

I had seen your post about it being your cable... but thought others might benefit from my suggestions... as well as yourself... IF you still had ADB issues.
