Hi all...I have ICS nightly running from the SD card on my Nook Color.
I would like to connect it to my media server PC (running XP) and transfer some media files, however, when I connect it, the PC attempts to install the MTP drivers and then says it did not find them and could not install. Then it tries to install Nook Color and fails as well. The end result is that the Nook does not show up, as a device or as individual drives.
The XP machine does have Win Media Player 11 on it, and it will see the Nook without the ICS SD card.
Any ideas on how to connect and transfer files? I know about the wireless functions, I'd just like to be able to connect via usb...it seems much faster.
disable usb debugging to get mtp to work on winxp
i stumbled across this the other day
I used Multi-Mount SD Card on CM7 with great success. Have not tried it on CM9 yet.

Hello! (first post , have been reading for a while though)
I can't connect the phone to my PC (win7 64bit), not as a mass storage device or with Kies (it worked fine before with my home PC and an XP machine at work).
It stopped working after the PC said "Device drivers installed properly" (or something like that) when I connected it, after that I have'nt been able to make it work as mass storage device on any computer..
Very strange and very annoying!
I'm thinking I might factory reset the phone (would very anti-nice though to loose all apps and stuff), so I thought I'd ask here first if there are any possible solutions..
Thx!
if you open device manager in Win7 x64 do you see it listed as GT-I9000 in Portable Devices ?
that's what it shows in mine, and i'm on x64 Win7
it automatically opens in Mass Storage also works in Kies
WEE!! Got it to work just now!!
Rebooted the phone (as I do every day) and connected it to charge over night, and windows popped up with the "installing device driver blabla dialogue" and suddenly it works!?!
This after not working for at least a week on any computer...
I have no idea what might have caused it, but I'm just happy it works again
Still, very strange...
It shows up in the device manager now, it did'nt before.. Thx for the reply!
On Win XP
is there a certain driver i have to download before using USB Mass Storage option.
all i get are two removable drives icon. but they can't be opened
you should only have 1 removeable device icon, 2 if you have a micro SD card inserted.
if you configure the phone to ask you what to do with the usb during connection, then you can select Kies or Mass Storage
regardless both works fine
i do have two removable drives because of the addition of the sd card
its set on Mass Storage. but it still won't open. im not sure if Windows installed it properly though
the driver details:
driver files- system32\drivers\USBSTOR.sys
does it shows in device manager, as mentioned above ?

After connecting the phone via USB, did tell the phone to Mount the drives?
anyone else encountered this issue?
Is anyone else having trouble connecting their Galaxy to a PC? I don't know whether mine is faulty or not. Downloaded the Samsung Kies software but when I plug in the Galaxy Windows is unable to find a MTP USB device driver and the phone refuses to connect. This happens Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Also the Galaxy has a complete fit and keeps flashing between the home screen and MTP application screen while it's connected (wxw.youtube.com/watch?v=R9hdpJPCP-k). And I don't get the usual Android option to mount for file transfer. Am I missing something?

finally managed to fix tis stupid kies connection problem...if anyone encountering the same issue jus do a factory restore n format ur internal sd card
Hi,
I have a strange problem when I try to connect my device to the PC.
After I installed Kies for the first time, the PC recognized my device one time. After I had removed the USB connection, when I try to reconnect the device, the PC did not recognize it.
I tried to reinstall Kies, install drivers without the Kies, I rebooted my PC everytime - nothing worked, it still did not recognized.
The only thing that work is a System Restore which I did on my PC (for before I installed Kies for the first time), but then I got the same problem - for the first time I connected my device after the Kies installation, the PC recognized my device, but after I unplugged and reconncted the USB cabel, the PC did not recognize my device, again.
Meanwhile, my System Checkpoints on my PC where deleted (I guess because of the System Restore), so now I can not go back to square one again.
I tried to find identical problem in the forum, but I did not find one.
My operating system on my PC is Windows XP, 32bit (I do not have access to another operating system, surely not on a daily basis. If it is necessary, I will try to find a computer with another operating system).
The Kies version which I installed is 1.5.3, the most updated as of 31/10/2010, downloaded from the official Samsung website.
I do NOT use LauncherPro, or any other launchers for that matter (I only installed a few popular games, from the market, on my device).
Thank you!
Yuval.
Try removing any media which might be there on your internal sd card. If that doesn't work then try and format the internal sd card. Certain apps like winamp too prevent the phone from connecting to the pc. It sure did work for me. Hope it does for you too.

I did transfer some .mp3 and .wma files from my PC to my "media" folder in my device through Kies in my first (and successful) connection.
However, deleting them (+ reinstallation of Kies + rebooting of both my PC and my device) did not help, and my PC still does not recognize my phone.
How do I format my internal SD card?
Thanks!
if you have any other devices like printers, external hdds, etc connected, remove them and connect your phone.
Go to settings, sd card and phone storage, internal sd card. Unmount internal sd card and then format.

The only devices that are connected to my PC are the screen, mouse and keyboard. Should I remove and reconnect them?
Do you get the usb connection sounds when you connect and disconnect your phone to/from the pc?
It is all OK now .
The problem was two bad USB ports. It took my some time to cosider the posibility that both of them do not work well. Using a third USB port fixed the problem.
For all of you - if the phone uploads the "Kies" screen (the blue one) when connencted, it is probably the USB port or the USB cabel to blame.
I just flashed phiremod 6.2 and I must say, it's very snappy and I love the interface.
Today I had the need to put a couple of pdf files on the device to read over later and was having issues mounting this to the pc. I would connect the nc to the computer through the usb cable, and the device would display the usb connect and debugging icons in the notification bar but nothing registered on the computer. No new devices or anything showed up on my pc.
Is this an issue that has been experienced by others and if so, what is the workaround for it? Thanks.
Use NookColorUms app and U can do what U need.
U can mount/unmount whatever U want.
I have my nook color booting cm7 from my SD card. My computer now wont recognized it as a USB device like it did when it was stock. Is there a way to be able to remedy this so that I can add files, music, or videos on it?

It's a known issue currently with CM7. If you need to connect via usb you can flash an older version of CM7 (7.0.2 it works for sure, can't remember exactly when it broke), otherwise you can use dropbox, wireless adb, wireless file transfer or other such wireless programs available in the market for transferring your data
Hi I recently rooted my nook color to cm7 and when I connect my nook it does not recognize it you can hear it but it does not show up on my computer what can I do so I add book internal in the nook many thanks if you can guide this newbie
shot in the dark...
In CM7 when you plug the nook into the computer to access the SD-card and the internal 5gigs, a task is added to the status bar it doesn't auto mount. It asks if you want to mount to the usb. Just select the task and then press the start button.
If that's not it, try uninstalling then re-installing the usb drivers for the nook on your computer.
What PC are you using Linux, Win, Mac?
I use this program for mounting my NC to my Windows box;

I'm using windows, but when I say status bar I mean the one on the nook. you don't need to use that app anymore for just connecting to the sd-card and 5gig media partition. Once you plug in the cable and activate usb storage in the android status bar, you will see two removable drives connect.

Hey that's awesome! Much easier too.
No idea why it's not showing up in the statusbar for you though. Perhaps Windows isn't telling the nook that it's connected? Would updating / reinstalling the Windows drivers help? Hope you find a solution!
im having the same problem with my comp not seeing the nook or the sd card in it. im using xp and have tried everything i can think of as a n00b.
Going to sound really stupid but this happened to me...
Make sure you have an sd card in the nook before you plug it in =P
I didn't have mine in the nook and it would make the sound as though the computer recognized it but it wouldnt give me the option in the status bar to actually allow the usb connection to go through. minute i put an sd card in the nook and then plugged it into my computer both drives opened up flawlessly.
*im running the latest cm7 nightly internally if that helps
