[Q] Phone wont connect to usb storage.. Help - Epic 4G General

My Epic 4g wont let me use the usb so i can mount it to my labtop. I am trying to add the new cm9 but i cannot transfer the files to my sd card. Anyway around this? I have used 2 different usb cables and used all the different ports as well. Still nothing, also notice i cannot Odin either because of this as well...

I have had the same problem. Scoured the internet and found no solution. Just a lot of people with the same problem. A lot, a lot.
Anyways, what I've been doing is either using airdroid to wirelessly send files to my phone or putting the micro-usb card into a usb stick adapter to transfer stuff.
Don't know if that helps but it was easier for me than odining back, and uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers to see if it magically decided to work again.

Froyo or gingerbread? This is going to sound stupid, but if you are on gingerbread or cm7/cm9, did you drop down the notification bar and select "usb storage"?
This is new coming from froyo.

make sure that USB debugging is off.

Try reinstalling the drivers. Also until you can get that working you can pop your micro sd into the adaptor and pop it into your laptop and transfer the files onto it.

all of the above
check drivers
make sure usb its not set to debugging.
also make sure to dial ##8778# and make sure its on PDA not modem.

It asks me to search for the drivers and when it does nothing comes up. Also even when i hold the power off button where you can cut the phone off/boot into recover/usb data storage. the usb data storage isnt clickable. I tried the drop down notification but there isnt even i connect to usb tab even there, I have usb debugging checked off and still nothing. Im really trying to find a way to odin since i think i got a bad download...im on gingerbread though.
Wonder if sprints updates had anything to do with this?

Google the drivers you need. Try a different cord and a different port.

4g connects but no data transfer

Edit: the problem is with my 4g, not pdanet. On my phone itself with 4g on I can't load any webpages or get any other data connection. Worked last Friday, and haven't made any changes to the phone. Running burnt 1.3 with net 421 smartass nohavs.
Try reinstalling the pdaNet on both the phone and computer.
If still nothing, try turning your phone off then back on.
Sometimes people never turn their phones off.
Hope this helps.
i am one of those people who never turn off their phones >.>
anyway I had to reinstall it on the pc today anyway. It decided to not work anymore v.v havent reinstalled on my phone yet though.
Bump for edit

I have the same problem. I don't use pdanet. I can connect to the 4G network but I cant load a webpage or download anything. Basically no data transfer. I took it to a Sprint store and they are just going to replace the phone.
Transfer that's the word i was looking for
I'm going to reflash the wimax radio when I get home and my phone isn't dying, i'd hate to have to replace the phone.

I am having the same problem with mine. It was working up until a few weeks ago, but now I can connect but it is painfully slow to load web pages. The page loads like 3/4's of the way, and then hangs for the rest of the page. The last 1/4 of loading takes a few minutes. That isn't even on a graphic-heavy page.
I am able to tether on my laptop though.
I am on OMJ's ROM, and have the most up-to-date radios that I know of

I've had this problem before too and the only way I found to fix it was to un-root and flash the stock rom. Then check if it works.
If it does work, root and flash a rom, I used sprint lovers rom and I didn't have any 4G issues with loading pages.....
Same here....recent issue....not sure what's up. Could be the network and not the phone maybe....what area are you trying to connect to 4g?
sent from my brain through my fingers through multiple electronic devices to your brain
Buddy I work with has an evo too and connected just fine standing next to me.
I can't imagine it fried the radio itself since it connects fine.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
well that blows....
i dont' have another evo to test it with....so I was HOPING it was a network thing....but I'm thinking it's not.
I checked my RSA keys.....they're still good.....
I have a NANDROID backup from a while ago when my 4g was still working...I'll flash it the next time I get to a 4g area and see if that fixes the problem.
I haven't touched my phone in terms of mods in over 2 months...so I'm wondering what the hell happened. I hate when **** like this just comes out of nowhere.
Please let me know via this thead if you have any new news.
new WiMax update is out in the dev forums. I'm going to flash now and see if it fixes my problems when i'm at work later (sidenote: my town has 4G, i just cant get it to connect at my house damn....trees)
Well I'm at a different place than normal but after flashing the new radio 4g is working.

I found out that my issue here was the app adfree.... if I stopped using that app, webpages on 4g load fine.
.....did nothing and 4g is working now....
aside from poking around in the adb shell to see if my RSA keys and MAC were still in tact (which they are)...my 4g started working again all by itself.
it was down for a week....and by "down" I mean that I could connect absolutely fine....get an IP....but could not transfer ANY data up or down. I did reboot serveral times while it was not working and that didn't fix the issue either.
Whatever....as long as it's working again...
Hmm i've been using adfree too but it didn't cause any problems. I agree Dell, as long as it's working.

Data accessable via USB even if it's locked!, Edit: Fixed!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: Google fixed this in the Update that was released, you now have to have the device unlocked in order to mount the storage via a PC., just make sure you also have USB debugging disabled so they can't use ADB to access files either.
Below is my Original message....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So i encrypted my Xoom using it's built in encryption method in settings and thinking now I don't have to worry as much if I loose it. It also has the password prompt to unlock the screen.
I was very dismayed today when I hooked up USB on it for the first time (a week after I bought it, try that Ipad) and found that virtually all the storage is accessable on the computer wihtout even Unlocking the Xoom! (pictures, audio, lots of app storage, etc)
At least on my old Droid I had to unlock it and turn on the USB storage for it to mount with the Xoom I don't even have to unlock it.
Google needs to fix this asap. If the device is locked and encrypted then it should not just mount all it's storage via USB unless it's unlocked.
Can't believe I haven't seen anyone else talk about this.
Dan
While mine is encrypted as well, I never hooked it up to USB after rooting it which I did prior to encrypting. I guess I'll try that later today.
So thats how moto is going to know if your device is rooted whether its encripted or not, in order to do the 4g uprgrade... hook that ***** up to comp and be bam.
Pretty much defeats the whole purpose of encrypting... you're now just wasting your time putting in passwords.
I hope they fix the whole way the Xoom hooks to a PC. Why they couldn't leave it like the phones are is beyond me. The phones used MSC instead of MTP like the xoom, which is way better supported across the various platforms.
haha thats hilariously horrible. jesus, mght as well not bother encrypting and find some USB input lock on the damn thing.
seriously, a month from now, if there is no updates of any kind on this tablet, im going to beat the hell out of my girlfriend.

[Q] No more Wifi, No more USB mode! I was Hardbricked!?

Guys I tried to root my Verizon S3 for the first time. Everything was going well until......my ****ty micro usb cable disconnected when I was starting the "no wipe" root.tar. ****ing had to do a factory restart in recovery mode to see if I could get my Wifi and USB detection fixed. Everything was wiped out. I still cannot turn on my wifi and my pc will not sense that I am connected to it. Anyone know what I can do?
Wrong thread buddy. This is for the note 3. Unless you just made a typo... Other than that, I can't help, don't have my phone yet.

Issues With Drivers (Not the usual)

Does anyone else have issues with their drivers installing on their computer? DO NOT WORRY I have done numerous search on here, and tried every "fix" from XDA threads before I even posted this. In fact I believe it's my second one since I haven't been able to get some help. As stated before, I'm not sure if it's because of my work computer (It shouldn't be, my three co workers who hack their phone, 2 same device, have had no issues only me) or what but every time I try to install, it gets about 2/3 of the way and then stops and says it cannot install it. Even when I hook up my phone, or use Kies, it doesn't recognize CDC Serial or Samsung_android. YES I have USB Debugging enabled, but for the friggen life of me cannot get those two to be recognized therefore can't use Odin. It's getting really annoying so anyone really good with computers have any advice here? Thanks!
I'm assuming u have tried different USB ports? I know my front one is screwed from using casual in the past on my note deuce

Can't connect to PC via USB?

I don't see an option to set this as a media device when I plug it in to my computer. It shows up and is recognized as SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface but that's it. Am I missing something?
No MTP whatsoever
Same exact problem here

I just bought the Developer version of the Note 4. I'm using the USB cord that it came with. I've tried connecting it to two different computers. My Note 2 connects to both PCs fine using the same USB cable. I also have "Samsung ADB" showing up in device manager when I connect it. I also can't connect it to Kies 3. Tried using Kies to load drivers, uninstalled drivers many times and reloaded. USB debug is checked. Not sure what I'm missing either?
Maybe you change the mode.
you can try dial *#0808# then choose the second mode(MTP + ADB).
if you can not enter into that *#0808#,you can try an other method, input ##366633# then choose (DM mode disable).
hope that will help you!

Thank you sooooo much! That did it!! Fixed!! I used this one ##366633# the other number wouldn't work for me. I tried so many "Hidden Menu" numbers last night but none would work. I even read a post that said these numbers won't work on Verizon phones. Since I couldn't get any to work myself, I believed it. I almost ignored your post thinking it was another solution for someone on a different network than mine. Unbelievable...I tried so many different crazy solutions but nothing would work. I was ready to wipe my phone and start over but when I woke this morning I decided to check and see if anyone had updated this thread....low and behold....a christmas android angel did appear...ok maybe I'm going a bit far but I've spent 2 days on this. Just want to say thank you again. It feels so good when a problem like this is resolved
Great solution to get MTP +ADB on Note 4 N910T

Team,
I tried with both the codes, though *#0808# gives the option to select the second mode(MTP + ADB).
Rebooted device, still the same.

Hello
Settings/Developer Options (Make sure that Developer Options are turned on).
Then check Stay Awake and USB Debugging mode and rebot your phone.
Computer won't recognize my Note 4
So I have plugged in my Galaxy Note 4 via a normal USB-microUSB cable, and nothing happens. It starts to charge, but none of the 3 computers I tried would recognize it. Not as a media device, nothing. This is extremely irritating since I HAVE done this before with THIS phone. It connected to my old Alienware laptop with zero problems. The only difference between then and now is that I was in South Korea, and now I'm not. This is a Korean phone, but it's unlocked and has always worked like all the other Samsungs I've ever had. But my US computers just WILL NOT recognize it. I tried the ##366633# thing and it said USSD code running, then 'The entered values are outside the valid range. Check the values and try again.' Beginning to lose my temper over here....SIGH. Any help?
I have the same problem, tried three computers and none recognize it. I tried the *#0808# method too, it changes the usb debugging checkbox to checked but the whole setting is still greyed out. When connecting to the computers the phone starts charging but nothing else happens. I installed the usb drivers from samsungs site too, but it did not help.
Is there any way to get usb mass storage mode??
Has anyone had any luck getting this working? I'm having the same problem! I have tried entering all of those codes mentioned above, have rebooted the phone and am not even sure what to do anymore. I really don't want to do a factory reset to my phone, but I'm running out of ideas and there doesn't seem to be any fixes out there that work for me. Please help!
I tried dialing the ##366633# but it didn't work. I kept on getting an error saying something like unknown MMI.
This is what I did and mass storage worked fine. I don't know if it'll work for everyone's Note 4 since I'm still a beginner at android.
If you haven't, first download and install the Samsung USB drivers to your PC: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SM-N910AZKEATT?CID=AFL-hq-mul-0813-11000946#
Then go into the Developer Options setting of the Note4 and select "USB Debugging" and "Allow mock locations". Then restart the Note 4 and go to a home screen. Then connect your Note4 to the PC via USB. After the PC sees and establishes a connection, you will see the drive: SAMSUNG-SM-N910A (I have an ATT variant). And clicking on it will display one drive for your phone and one drive for your sd card... if you have an SD card inserted. Works as mass storage.
I got the idea here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnQ9uxNogeI

This is an old thread but Im having the same issue, did a factory reset and it is still not working, Tried all above remedies to no avail. I have synced this very phone to this same macbook pro prior to the 5.1.1. update so it must be that as other handsets I have are recognized by this mac. So I am really pissed off now. My Samsung sdhc has gone bad after a year of no problems and no I cant transfer data. Tmo note 4 stock.
You guys are the best
had the same problem, just used the code and it worked for me, thank you so much:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
