Ubuntu Driver?

I am a ubuntu n00b!
I cannt seem to find my phone when it is mounted with ubuntu.
I read in another thread how ubuntu doesnt need drivers.
If this is true, how do I copy files to / from my epic with ubuntu please?
Thanks

Ubuntu... lol. Sorry.

I am aware that it has to be mounted on the phone.
With the phone mounted no 16 gig drive shows up in places or under computer or any of file location I can find in ubuntu.
Just tried my girlfriends stock epic when she got home from work, and it works like it should. Get a pop up window. Mine does nothing.
Running:
D18
Noobnl 1.1.1 ROM
Noobnl 1.4.0 Kernel
Hers is stock. So the problem must be related to root or the rom or kernel.

Try Turning off your USB debug.

Doesnt work.
Need to try a diffrent rom / kernel I guess, Dont want to I like these.

IF your using a PC try using USB ports which are located in the back of the computer, otherwise (laptops) try a different port with the Original cable you got with the phone.
Like already mentioned try to disable the USB debugging mode. Also from the command prompt try running lsusb command and see if the device is recognized. If the only thing your doing is syncing music and photos you won't need to do changes in your rules file like when you would want ADB to work.
Let us know if this worked.
PS. Also you may want to reboot your phone after disabling USB debugging mode, just for giggles.

Using a back USB port did the trick. Seen this posted before to get the drivers for this phone to work on windows 7. Since I never had to do this I never thought to try a back port.

you can leave usb debugging on, i have no issues with it being on

ADB drivers not working

Hello. I received the phone today. I had a rooted desire HD before this.
My windows 7 is newly installed so I had to install 32bit/64bit java SDK, and android SDK. I downloaded the usb drivers, the platform tool package and so on.
The problem is that, although the USB debugging is turned on on the G.Note, windows won't recognize it as a ADB Android Phone. Under 'devices' I can see:
- CDC Serial
- SAMSUNG_Android
Both with a "!" : needing drivers.
ADB is correctly installed, and if I type 'adb devices' in the prompt, no serial number of any device is displayed. If I try to start the root procedure (through the .bat file), WAITING FOR DEVICE : it just doesn't find the phone and nothing starts.
I tried searching manually for the driver: device - properties - SAMSUNG_Android - find driver manually - extra\google\usb-driver ...... but it doesn't install it !
I didn't have these problems with the desire HD....as long as the phone is not recognized as a Android Phone (without "!")....I can't start the root procedure !!
What am I doing wrong ??

Oh and also:
- tried changing USB port
- rebooted both systems
- uninstalled the 'SAMSUNG_android' device, then plugged it in again....same thing, not recognized as Android Phone

have you tried to install Kies?

i think i am stupid...that's the equivalent of htc sync right? i'll try again and hope that it will make the difference.

yeah, it should install the
right drivers. after that, be sure kies is closed properly in order to use odin.

Nexus 4 appears as unknown device

Hello, I am trying to connect my nexus 4 to my computer to put some music on. This used to work, but now it is being detected as an unknown device. I tried updating the drivers to the Universal Naked driver, but it just says the best driver is already installed. I tried with USB debugging on and off, no difference. Also tried 2 different usb cables.
Cyanogenmod Version: 10.1.1-mako
Build: JDQ39E
Thank you for any help!

What OS are you using? Windows? Mac? A linux distro?
Also, are you sure you're using MTP instead of PTP (Settings > Storage > menu > Usb Computer Connection) ?
You can try to install google's drivers from the android sdk as well.

I am using Windows 7, it was set to PTP, I just set to MTP, but it still does the same thing. I have turned off my USB debugging in the developer menu as well.

I know this is a silly thing to ask, but have you tried rebooting your phone? Something like this happened to me before and a reboot fixed it.
Also, if you have a custom kernel, check that you have USB fast charge disabled. And after that fails, try installing google's drivers. Sorry, I'm just spouting out random ideas at this point.

Use trickster mod and go to the Kernel Specific page. If fast charge is ticked off, there's not much we can do from there.

Also, have you tried to install google's drivers or make a nandroid and reflash a clean rom?
EDIT: You could also try Koush's universal driver: https://plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/BQ5iYJEaaEH

Hmm I am in the trickster mod on the kernel specific screen, but I don't see anything about USB fast charge Where might I get googles drivers? I can't seem to install any drivers because as soon as I uninstall the unknown device, it auto installs some drivers.

So I tried installing the newest Franco kernel Milestone (3), and the USB fast charge is off. I also tried installing a different CM mod, but there is no difference. I also tried installing the universal you gave me, but that didn't work, and i installed the google driver from SDK and that didn't work.
I don't know what else to do...

Hi, try to completly unninstall ALL drivers for nexus, samsung or android related, than install official drivers for nexus 4 and then connect nexus 4. Should work.

I tried that, no luck...I don't know what else to do, I have tried 3 different cables. I tried using the drivers that come with the nexus 4 toolkit, but no luck. It charges when plugged in, but i get nothing else. Also it seems like half the time its not even in the device manager as an unrecognized device, and then it intermittently pops up a window saying unrecognized device detected... maybe my USB port is broken on the phone?
Is there something simple I have overlooked to get 4.2.2 to work with my computer?

Have you managed to solve this? I'm facing almost the same problem!

No, I tried for hours with no luck. I am glad I am not the only one, hopefully a solution will come to us. I have been using airdroid to transfer files from my phone in the mean time.

Im also having the same issue except my computer only recognizes my phone when its connected as a camera.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I am having a similar problem with my daughter's Nexus 4 phone, which is not rooted nor unlocked - it is still completely stock. It was just updated to Android 4.3, however I can't say that this is the cause of the problem because she never attempted to connect her phone to the desktop machine before.
I have a Windows 7 x64 box at home, and spent over two hours last night trying to get the computer to correctly recognize the Nexus 4 phone. I was hoping that the standard MTP Windows driver would handle it perfectly, but no luck. I tried the Google usb drivers, and the ADB interface was recognized, but still no access to the internal storage. I then gave the Naked Drivers a try, and no joy there either.
I am beginning to suspect that the MTP drivers on my desktop are munged, but do not relish the thought of a Win 7 wipe and reinstall.
Anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks much!

I am having a similar problem where I have USB storage set to MTP and Windows doesn't pick it up, whereas PTP Windows will pick up but I can't access any folders other than the camera related folders like DCIM.
So my workaround is doing it the old fashioned way through CMD in windows using adb push.
Example:
Assuming you have all the stuff you want to transfer in a folder called stuff, adb is located in C:\adb, and your folder known as stuff is also in C:\adb:
C:\adb>adb push stuff /data/media/0
The above command starting from the ">" will transfer all files in the folder called stuff to the root of /sdcard. In the N4, /sdcard is symbolically linked to /data/media/0.
Of course you need USB debugging enabled for this to work...

Device Manager (Hopefully this helps)
In the start menu type device manager, in that window you should see android and or something similar at the top. You want to drop the menu down and right click what should say Google ADB Interface and delete it, make sure you check the confirmation box. After reboot your computer! Once booted plug your phone in a viola!!!

I'm having a similar issue.
I can open device manager but there in no Android anything listed. All that comes up when I plug my phone in is 'unrecognized usb device'. I have 5 different cable I have tired. The OS will only bring up the usb error in a USB 3.0 port. It will not do anything if I use the 2.0 port.
I have gone and tried to manually update the drivers through the device manager but when I select the drivers from Android SKD or any of the other driver packs I get an error that it is not a x64 driver.
I found one suggestion about modding the driver to include the device but windows will not even recognize the device other than a unknown usb.
I'm going to have a bricked computer soon. Any help would be appreciated.

First, Google universal naked drivers xda. Try those. If they don't work go into device manager and go to where it says let me choose drivers from my computer. Then look for the android composite adb interface.
If you're on win 8 you'll need to allow unsigned drivers. Google how to do that

Windows 7x64 on all machines. I am trying this on 2 work computers and getting the same result. I have 2 issues that I think are the root of the issue.
#1 is the phone doesn't do anything in USB debug mode. I keep seeing references to having to approve the computer connection but I haven't seen that yet. I have tired 9 usb ports. 6 on my main computer will not bring anything, not even the usb drive. 3 on the labtop will only bring up a 'unrecognized usb drive'.
#2 is the computer will not recognize the device in anything other than a 'unrecognized usb drive' (UUD). Everyone keeps mentioning the Android Composite ADB interface. It's not there, it doesn't show up or as an option. I can go into the device manager and find the UUD and try and update the driver via the manual method with a disk but it doesn't list any type of hardware that is related to Android or ADB.

Hello,
"#1 is the phone doesn't do anything in USB debug mode." This is normal!
How I experienced the USB debugging option is that, if turned ON:
1. The Nexus does not appear in my Windows env
2. BUT when in recovery mode, I can use the "adb" commands
If USB debugging turned OFF:
1. Then I CAN see the Nexus in my Windows env
2. BUT I cannot use the "adb" commands in recovery mode.
So you definitely need to have the USB debugging option turned off if you want to see your nexus in Windows, IMO

I think you really have an issue with the drivers. I would install the Google USB drivers. Maybe a bit heavy but then you can be sure that drivers are fine:

So i try to connect my phone to my PC and all it does is charge the phone. I was able to root the Note with CF's method but i can't get it to appear under devices lime my S4.

It should works. If you are using Windows, please make sure you run the Kies3 application, not the previous Kies. If you have not uninstall previous Kies, there would be 2 applications of Samsung Kies.

I have the same problem as the OP. I am running Windows 8.1 X64 and I tried usb debugging and Kies 3. This is frustrating I am unable to connect to my PC.

Got mine reconnecting by removing drivers under driver properties and then reattached phone and windows installed proper drivers all on its own.

Uninstall in a clean way (using, e.g., Driver Sweeper) any previous installed drivers and re-install this one: Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones 1.5.27.0 [Drivers Win 8/7/XP]. Should make it happen.

Use kies 2 not 3 or the drivers alone package and should work.

For me it didn't work with a standard micro USB cable. Just charges only.
I used the USB3 cable that is bundled with the device and it connects no problem. even when connected to a USB 2 port on my PC.
i bought a 3rd party USB3 cable from ebay and this works also.

The issue was from a intel Host USB driver, got Dell pro tech support to troubleshoot the issue for me and we updated the drivers and it worked

[Q] USB Connection

Hey guys,
I don't know if this has been asked already, and if it has I apologize for that, but judging by the title you can already assume what issue I have. When I connect my Galaxy S4 i337 to my laptop running Windows 8.1 (I'm not sure if it's RT or not), it keeps saying that my USB device is not recognized. I've tried:
- uninstalling the Samsung drivers then reinstalling them
- uninstalling Kies and drivers, then reinstalling Kies to see if it would recognize and automatically download the drivers
- completely turning off my laptop, removing the battery for 3 minutes
- different USB ports (all 3)
- connect it to the computer with USB debugging on and off
Can anyone help?
