I also found these in Windows Device Manager with show hidden files enabled:

- DVD/CD-ROM drives: Samsung UMS CD-ROM USB Device.

- Other Devices: Samsung Android

Do you have either of these?

i do.

[gunnermike53]

This is what worked for me:

1. Enable debugging
2. Power phone off
3. Plug phone to pc, and power phone on
4. mount

If I unplug phone and plug back in to pc, then mount, phone gets recognized again.

If I reboot phone and then plug back in without doing 1-4 phone does NOT get recognized again.

yeah, we have gotten that far. thats the same thing that happens to all of us. us pc users arent as bad off as the mac guys who cant mount at all. we are trying to figure out how to make the problem go away permenantly.

i do.

Uninstall them. Put your phone into debugging mode and then set USB mode to ask me. In curious if it will then open as a CD drive with the 4 files. If it does double click on the driver file and let it for its thing. Once it's done go back to the notification panel and see if you have the option to mount or not.

update: as long as im running the stock dl09 kernel all is good. once i flash adrynalyne 12/30 kernel im back to the same problem. i am gonna try the stock kernel for a bit and see how it goes, but i wont give up the battery life i get with 12/30 so i dont have to restart my phone once or twice a day.

I've noticed the same thing on my phone too. Seems to do it with both JT and adrynalyne 12/30 kernels. I also noticed that I lose the stock sammy/VZN boot animations when not using the stock dl09 kernel.

hey man, i got gun jumpy when i posted this thread. i did not fully investigate and now i look silly.

would you mind posting on this thread:

http://forum.androidcentral.com/veri...post-here.html

we are trying to keep all these together, its easier to keep track of.

[Chris Kerrigan]

and my clean rom doesnt contain a kernel.

Now you folks see why this is driving me nuts, there is no rhyme or reason to it.

This makes no sense to me, so I can totally understand your frustration. You must have some patience, because it would be driving me absolutely insane. I'd probably put the darn phone in the oven.

I'll merge it in with the other thread. No problems, no harm done!

I also noticed that I lose the stock sammy/VZN boot animations when not using the stock dl09 kernel. The Debugging method works but might go back to the stock kernel if i get tired of powering down the phone.

Here is what ive found that works for me so far, after digging around on the Verizon forums.

Without USB debugging on and usb mode set as mass storage, plugin to USB and the autorun CD rom asking if you want to install tool bootstrap pops up. Let it sit for about 30-40 seconds and it disappears, then the usb icon on the phone show up and the pull down menu will then show usb connected. Choose mount, wait another 10-15 seconds and it mounts.

Hope this helps others out.




Its really ridiculous that it took almost a week after the update to figure out a simple thing like how to move files back and forth to my F##$%G SD card.

Luckily I often check Android Central to find V Fascinate news, otherwise I would have discovered this bug unprepared.
The quoted solution (from post 69?) seems to be working for me on my XP netbook (still need to try on my 32bit Vista laptop) with a minor variation:
Instead of waiting for the installation request to go away, I started it and then canceled in the middle. after a few seconds I got the option to mount as USB mass storage device through the phone, just like it did pre dl09 update.
The only continuing annoyance is that each time I connect explorer pops up (my DEFAULT browser is firefox so go figure) with an invitation to install vcas crapware...

BTW besides this really annoying bug, dl09 is great, my GPS is locking faster than ever and I can open PDFs straight from my email without saving first to the SD card
now come on Froyo - I need support for hebrew fonts without rooting!

[Cory Streater]

trying that now. where did you get "thats how i roll2" theme from? i havent seen that one.

When I added the additional ROM/Theme fields to the postbit area, I was screwing around to test it. "That's how I roll" doesn't exist. I just forgot to remove it haha. I think I was running the "Your Mom" ROM at one point too

[Townie33]

After playing the above "waiting game" with my Mac/Fascinate I finally got my pulldown screen to show the MOUNT option (no pun intended). But the storage device icon never appeared on the desktop??

i see your on a mac. the solutions here wont work for you. you might take a look at this thread:

[Adrynalyne]

I am having the problem now and I am very angry about it. :/


Still havent found a fix.

So far these are my findings:

I should mention first that I am of course rooted and have frozen all VCast apps in Titanium - I don't know if that makes a difference, but thought I'd mention it.

On Windows XP without the Samsung drivers (they have never been installed on this particular pc) when I plugged it in with debugging on, it popped up the new hardware found - search for a device driver on the computer and the usb mounting option showed up in the notification bar of the phone, but of course, without the driver Windows thinks it needs, it wouldn't be able to see my files even if I mounted it. I made the mistake of closing the search for driver window before unplugging my phone and my screen went black, softkeys still lit - frozen....had to do a battery pull.

When I turned off debugging and plugged it back into the XP pc, I then got the Internet Explorer pop up, which I immediatly closed, followed by the prompt to install VZW's crappy software, which I declined and after that auto play started, which I cancelled and then the option to view files on my phone was given to me. Pulled down my notification bar, mounted my sd card and was able to see all files on my phone.

My experience with Windows 7 without the Samsung drivers was a direct mimic of what I've been hearing here already - no reaction from my phone when plugged in with debugging off (no option to mount from the notification bar) and Win 7 quickly told me it could not find the drivers for my device. Plugged it back in with debugging on and got the box offering the bootstrap.exe or whatever that was, but no option in my notification bar to mount the sd card. That's as far as I went with it because it seemed like there were plenty of instances of this already documented.

I guess it's a really good thing that I almost never use usb mounting or I'd be as ticked as many of you are. For now, it still mounts perfectly to my Ubuntu, so I'm a happy girl.

Great job!!!! you finally did it!!! one day you might reach the level of my great skill.

[Adrynalyne]

Might I add, the problem happens...in Linux for me.

So you can forget about it being a driver problem.

[Adrynalyne]

I present two kernels, one voodoo, one not.

They are not totally fixed (for me anyway) but at least that pesky cd rom is gone. Myself, i still require a reboot with the cable in to use mass storage. I will upload my github changes tomorrow.

Voodoo


Nonvoodoo


Flash at your own risk.
