[Q] Cannot USB Mount OR Download from Market!!

Okay... this will be my second attempt to get this fixed.
I rooted a week or so ago according to justadude's great tutorial. I made a nandroid backup... I thought I took all the recommended precautions. Then I fiddled. Deleted some of the T-Mobile bloat, installed launcher pro... that's it! Now, I can't USB Mount to my computer (even with USB Debugging turned on... it says I can mount, but when I do "mount" it doesn't register on my computer). I also can't download anything from the Market! Everytime it just got stuck Starting Download... so I searched and followed some recommended instructions for clearing Cache and Uninstalling Update. Now I just get notifications that say Download Failed.
I HAVE searched the forums for answers, so please, I don't need sarcastic comments about how I should just figure it out. I wouldn't be posting if I could just punch in the magical search that fixes everything.
Thanks!

when deleting your bloat stuff did you delete tw launcher or any other touch wiz stuff?
That would probably cause problems if you are still running stock rom.

No, I only deleted stuff like Avatar, MobiTV, GoGo... the apps that I would never use.
I forgot to mention that I restored to my backup as well, so now all the crap is back, but I still have the same problems with the USB and Market... I've been sifting through forums all day and can't seem to find a good solution other than a factory reset (obviously... not ideal).

i just had this issue, not with the market, but with pc recognizing my phone.
1. make sure you got the proper samsung usb drivers installed on your pc.
2. turn off usb debugging on your phone if you have it enabled.
3. turn off your phone.
4. turn on your phone and give it some time to scan your sd cards.
5. turn on usb debugging on your phone.
6. plug in the usb cable and go ahead and mount the sd card.
the above steps was what I did just now 10 minutes ago to the T (except install usb drivers since my pc already had it and for some reason stopped recognizing it just now) and my computer recognized my phone again. worth a shot.

Thanks! That resolved my USB issues... now all I need is to be able to download apps again and I'll be a happy man!

Well, I changed my game plan a little... just flashed Bionix Fusion 1.1 (out of curiosity and just plain fed up with this Android Market issue). It's all good! The ROM rocks and all my issues are fixed. Thanks to those of you who posted trying to help out!

Cannot get my computer to recognize my phone when plugged in via USB(phone issue)

First off let me say hello to everyone! I have never posted here but do A LOT of lurking . Big ups to all the devs here. You have helped make my Fascinate 100 times better than it was out of the box. I post over at fascinate forums and posted this issue I have been having. If anyone can help out with this I would appreciate the hell out of it.
Running
Community Rom v 1.2 w/ stock kernel(WHICH IS AWESOME BY THE WAY! Best Rom I have ever used hands down!).
EnV Theme(which is equally awesome!)
Can not get my computer to recognize my phone via USB(phone issue)
So here is what happens.
My USB mount was working fine until last night. Now every time I connect my phone to my computer I get a message in the bottom right corner telling me windows does not recognize the USB device.
When I click the message I get this
USB Device Not Recognized
USB Root Hub
Unused
Unknown Device
When i click the unknown device I get this
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
This is not a computer issue...it is a phone issue. I have tried plugging my phone into 3 different computers, installed the drivers, and get the same issue every time. If it is an internal error there is nothing I can do because I can't Odin back to stock and take my phone in to Verizon.
Things I have tried
Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers multiple times, different drivers(generic and the ones from the samsung page), fixing the drivers, different USB ports, different USB cables, different rom, different kernel, re downloading drivers(both).
I cannot figure this out. If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated.
:edit: My phone WILL charge when plugged into the USB.

p.s. Once my Pizza gets here I am going to attempt putting the phone into Download mode. I completely forgot to check if Odin would recognize it in DLM. If it does I am reverting back I am going to revert back to stock and have a rooting/flashing party by myself tonight(I have beers).

I'm sure your already aware to make sure your in usb debugging mode. mentioned it just incase.

Yes my phone is in debug and set to mass storage. I want to try a hard reset but don't want to be such with a stock fascinate if it doesn't work.
Alpha Tappa Lambda

I had similar problem, and my Odin wouldn't work either.
Turned out to be some dirt in the usb port, cleaned it out with a scrap of paper with isopropyl alcohol. After a couple of cleanings, the PC recognized the device for the first time in 2 weeks. I am not the only one who has had physical problems with the usb port, search on it. The Fascinate seems to be fragile in this respect.
Of course, if your Odin detected the phone then its something else...
Good luck.

I had this exact problem and it was the USB cable for me
I didnt think of it initially cuz it would charge my phone fine
I went through every step over and over and even reformatted my entire PC
Then i grabbed by coworker's ATT captivate charger and everything worked fine...
so my suggestion is to find someone with a samsung OEM charger and see if that's your problem

I also think it has something to do with the USB port. I had the exact same issue and it ended up being dirt in the port on the phone

I had the same thing, would charge but computer wouldnt see it. Cleaned port with a little rubbing alcohol and it worked like a charm.

My new phone will be here tomorrow. I ended up flashing ED01 with CWR and now have a fully stock fascinate ready to be sent back.
I haven't read this thread for awhile but I wish I would have tried the cleaning method before having to get a replacement phone in. Oh well...should be a fun re rooting a brand spankin new stock phone tomorrow

Well now I know what it was. I just got my new phone in. All was well.
Rooted to EF, Odin'd the EC01 radio, and flashed OTB 1.3 and was just setting everything up. I rebooted after flashing everything.
Then came the fast media scan hack. Guess what...my phone will no longer connect via USB after flashing that.
Does anyone know how to remove this? I can no longer Odin anything and I am pissed off right now.
p.s. not pissed off at anyone in particular...it's my problem for flashing not the devs...but seriously this sucks.

Re flashed the Rom, went into terminal emulator and restored the default media scanner, rebooted phone, rebooted computer, USB works fine.
Right after I flashed the fast media scanner I had the same problems I was having before...now everything is working just fine. Not trying to bust on adrenalyn or anything. Just reporting my experience with the fast media scan hack.

Cannot Get Computer To Recognize Phone
I tried installing the Anonymous ROM and got bricked. A friend of my was able to get it back to factory settings. Now, no computer will recognize my phone.
I have tried several computers, 3 windows 7 computers and 1 iMac. None of them recognize the phone.
I have tried two different cables and every USB port on all of the computers. Nothing seems to be working.
All I wanted to do was get the Sprint crapware off my phone and now I can't even get back to where I was.
Also, when I try to do the ROM manager I am getting a file signature error.

You can try Software Data Cable app, This app allows you to connect to your computer via the same wifi connection. You might give it a shot.

I had this problem once. I think i went into my usb settings and click ask on connect or something like that. Worked for me at the time.

I was in the same boat. Was rocking UKB ComRom 2.0 when all of a sudden I could no longer connect my phone via USB to my PC. I was running Windows Vista and had never had a problem before. I tried multiple PC's and multiple cords. I was worried that I would have to get a replacement.
I cleaned the USB port on the phone with no luck. Installed and deleted and reinstalled the drivers 3 times with no luck. Made sure USB settings on the phone were correct. Toggled the USB settings a few times just in case- no luck. Did a Dalvik and Cache wipe with no luck. The only thing that worked for me was the do a factory reset/Wipe and then redo my phone from there. It left UKB ComRom 2.0 on the phone and I just had to add back in my data. Just an FYI.

ive had this issue since ukb 2.0 i moved to cm7 mtd did a full data wipe and still have this issue >,> wonder if i have to manually change it or somthing

Just had this happen again today on my phone. Fixed it back on the 29th after doing a factory reset and then reinstalled my apps/ etc......This time all I had to do was a Davlik, Cache wipe and it seemed to fix the problem. Never had this happen before ComRom 2.0, but not it is happening more frequently it seems. Any ideas?

USB Connection Not Working

So I start with some history:
SGS i9000
Currently using 10.2.2 (just flashed) JVQ
Android 2.3.4
When I got Darky 10.2 everything seemed smooth. Problems started to occur little by little. Battery drain, always 98-95% when taking off from the charger. Strange tilts, app / screen just freezes and after a while automatic reboot. Strange slowdowns, sometimes friends can't call me...
I think it's all because of custom kernel and rom.
Now I can't connect my Samsung to my Mac. It charges but no connection. I tried different cable, flashing 10.2 to 10.2.2. Wiping everything on the phone. Nothing. Phone is in Mass Storage state, also tried USB Debugging.
It's kinda hard to reflash this thing to previous systems because how do I flash with Odin without usb connection.
Any ideas?

You might try another PC with a fresh USB driver install. I'd suggest a Windows running one.

Restart phone and comp.

@zomirp: i'm not an idiot
I've done everything one could imagine. Tried PC instead of my Mac. Different USB cable. I've reflashed, wiped all data + dalvik cache. I've tried to switch USB from PhoneUtil to Modem and back to PDA but no help.

Boot into recovery and restore your nandroid backup from known working config. You have a backup right...?
Failing that, can't you download 10.2 again on your phone, restart in recovery and install using CWM?

@dolphindos sorry to hear that your phone is misbehaving.
I had something similar, but instead of immediatly blaming the software, I decided to take a look at the hardware.
what are the odds that software changes hardware....
I think your usb connector crapped out just like mine did recently. I went to the repair center got it fixed and all's fine now.
My thoughts have a look at the hardware

Yes that is a possibility. Well I guess I need to find a way to get stock firmware flashed since I can't take the phone with Darky's to manufacturer.

[Q] Battery always charging / Always connected to the PC?

Hi.
After searching through the forum to find an answer to this issue, I didn't find anything. Therefore I'm creating this thread.
This issue started when I updated OTA to a CM11 nightly. Now whenever I plug my phone on the outlet to charge it or to the computer, it doesn't assume that I unplugged it when I'm done. In other words, it's always charging / always connected to the computer. I've tried to do a full wipe of the phone but it didn't solve the issue. This only happens in certain roms. I do not remember doing a factory reset and flashing the stock rom with ODIN.
However, when I unplug the phone and remove the battery, the issue is fixed. Whenever I plug it back, it starts again.7
I appreciate your help.
Thanks alot.

Someone?

Never had this problem. The only options are to flash stock rom via Odin OR wait for CM11 stable update. Try giving a hard reset.

Hey my friend!
Well if you'd bought a huawei nothing of this would be happening lolol
Just kidding, well it may be related to the way how you switch off the usb connection, have you tried already to select in windows the safe switch off USB mode?
If it isn't that problem, after a nanbackup try to wipe cache and dalvick cache, and if the problem continues a full wipe may be needed, formatting system, data and cache... And freshly installing the new update from CM11...
If still continues... Well you can always trade your device with your neighbor LMAO
Anyway I would wait for a new update or a stable release...
Good luck.

Try to clean up your charging point by brush or any suitable thing. some shorting might be there by dust or any other thing.
I had the same problem and resolved.

I did everything you suggested a couple of days ago. It didn't work.
Nebur, m8, could it be related to the modem baseband? Because it also happens when I connect it to the charger. After I unplug it, the phone says it is still charging...
The plot thickens.

Hmm... Baseband / Ril mismatch perhaps!?
But doubt it... I think that the problem is more related with usb permissions (kernel config) than with any other thing... But that's MHO...

OP8 Pro No Longer Connecting To PC After OOS 11.0.5.5

Hey guys, I could really use some help figuring out how to fix this.
Neither my phone, or my PC realize they are connected to each other after I have updated my phone to OOS 11.0.5.5 an hour or two ago. I have tried two different USB cables in two different ports of my computer and still nothing.
I had connected my 8 Pro to my PC using one of these cables only a week ago! Before the update, my phone was on build 10.13, or something like that.
See, what happened was, My phone has been rooted since like last June or May, but I've always had that 'your phone has an update' notification in my notification bar forever. Well, I accidently hit it one day without realizing it (a couple months ago) and my phone tried doing an OTA update but it told be it failed because my phone was rooted, however, it still pushed the update through.
This put my phone in a weird unrooted limbo where gapps thinks my phone is rooted, but none of my apps that require root actually work and I am currently trying to fix that.
So, to start I was gonna just fully update my phone to get rid of the notification and just root the latest OOS. I downloaded and installed the OTA and I got some kind of root error, but like the last time, the phone applied the update. Now, I am trying to connect my phone to adb, but there's no acknowledgement from either the PC or the phone that they are connected.
How can I solve this?

first try using a different USB cable. And check if that works.

I've tried two different ones, and nothing. They both work for charging through a wall outlet and just last week they worked on the PC. It is not the cables.

So after the factory reset, did you reset up Developer options like USB debugging?
