Download a Rom straight to the phone or try automount in the market and see if it works

Also if you have amon ra as a recovery you can go to recovery and enable Usb-ms toggle

Newest version comes with AutoMount. Use that, it works fine. Open the app, choose the setting to enable mount on plugging in, then plug your device up. Also, you can Mount as MS in recovery mode.

seems usb disk drive doesn't work in all sense 3.5 rom

Once you have sdk installed, if you're having trouble connecting your phone to your computer, get "adb wireless" from the market and you can connect that way leaving no need for the usb cable. All you need is your phones wi-fi turned on and a know how of adb.

You have to have a router too. A way that both the computer and phone can connect.
Yeah... Thanks

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.

Bricked my epic. Need help restoring it

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.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
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?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
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
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
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

Cant Access COM Port on CleanGB HELP!!!

I flashed with CleanGB, and it is a phenominal ROM. But i cant access the COM port on my phone. I tried ##8778# and switched back and forth on PDA/USB/MODEM settings, but nothing... does anyone have any ideas? Please and thank you.
Sry. This is on a Sprint EPIC 4G
Same issue.....
Also my screen stays black when I open keyboard so my keyboard is useless.

Have you heard any way to do this? I really dont want to flash back to the sprint ROM, but i will if i need to, i need to change some numbers......
Have you tried reinstalling the drivers on your computer? Different cable? Different USB ports?

I have tried everything on my computer... My wife epic works fine..
I believe toad said something about it being possibly related to canceling a reboot from the power button. It's in the clean gb rom at the end....
I've just been living with it so far... Plugging it in after power down and removing the battery gets it to boot again...

Then a quick Odin to EC05 stock should get it going again, then root and flash. Don't restore any system data.

Not even in download mode huh? You can try restoring an old nandroid to see if that fixes it.

I think you guys have broken phones.
EDIT: Or in the case of your PC not seeing ODIN, something is probably going on with the PC.
ive had the same exact problem you will have to take your sd card and try to install a stock rom from phones cwm recovery or which ever recovery you are running
I have the exact same problem on the exact same rom.
But only on my home PC.
I tried it at work and Odin recognized the com port. Not sure what is changed on my home PC. I dont have to Odin often, and this is the first time I've noticed this.

[Q] EMERGENCY: Recovery doesn't mount USB!

Hello,
after trying out a few roms i wanted to go back to stock and wanted to have a completely clean device.
So i went booted to TWRP recovery and wiped everything i could (including the currently installed ROM and internal storage).
So I wanted to mount USB to copy the ROM on my device but it doesn't connect to the PC.
So I'm stuck in recovery and have no idea how to connect it.
I hear the sound of the PC recognizing a USB connection but then comes that USB error sound you hear when it fails to connect.
Please help
Of course it doesn't. Internal storage is not UMS.
Use adb to push files.
Also, if you want to go back to stock you don't use recovery. Use the bootloader and fastboot.

Can you please explain why UMS had been disabled on custom ROMs? It was so easy to transfer data to memory using UMS!
Sent from my Xperia Neo V using xda app-developers app
I did try to push via adb but as I said the USB didn't connect
but thanks I did go back to the thread u posted and noticed there are two links for the drivers
it seems that the 2nd one (it's the one I had installed) doesn't actually include adb drivers so my device couldn't connect
well so I installed the drivers from the first link and it's resolved thanks a lot!
