Cyanogenmod 7 - USB Storage Device Opion Not Appearing! - Wildfire General

I recently acheived s-off with AlphaRevX and then rooted and installed CM7 With HCDR Kernel 4.2. Whenever i plug my phone into the computer, only USB debugging will appear on the screen, not the option to choose USB Storage device or USB tether. Anyone know what to do.
Much appreciated,

It's different from the HTC Sense ROMs. Pull down the notification bar, and you will see the option to enable USB Storage device there. USB Tethering is there somewhere inside settings.
If, after pulling down the notification bar, you still dont get the option, reflash the ROM, and, keep the stock kernel. Dont flash Jacob's kernel.

Its because your using HCDR Kernel 4.2 I had the same problem, you need to be using the stock kernel mate. Just reflash CM from recovery and it'll sort it for you! As far as i know CM 7.0.3 has an overclock kernel built in to it, you can adjust the overclock from CM settings. Good luck!

Thanks!
Thanks! Just Doing it now!

Unfortunately in some cases this has nothing to do with the kernel and is merely a bug in the rom, i had the same issue, no matter what kernel was used no usb mass storage would appear in the notifications, what i did to solve this was to download a 3rd party widget button that turns on mass storage when pressed and turns it off when pressed again, hope this helps, i got annoyed with cm7 and whent back to sense

It's OK it works now!

Just to confirm, on CM7 you can *only* get USB Connection to computer for files only?
I've not got tethering or other things.

Yes, Tethering is inside Settings > Wireless and Networks > Tethering and Portable Hotspot > USB Tethering. It's not part of the USB Popup notification as on the default ROM.

That makes sense, thank very much!

I use tetering a lot. But on cm7 just dont work. Some ideas what to do?

As already said, tethering option is inside settings.
For usb tethering u can also use pdanet or easy tether.
And for Bluetooth or wifi tethering u can use the app "wireless tether".

I know where is and try to connect ... ok now,problem is whit drivers. If debug is on,tetering going on,but comp whants drivers. See wf like a new hardware.

Yep. I think now I understood.
For drivers, install HTCDriver_2.0.7.17.exe
This file will be 13MB and will be given to u in the memory card at the time of wildfire purchase. If u lost it make a google search and install it. There are other methods also for having drivers. One is htc sync, and another is through adb sdk-manager. The easiest is htc driver above.
(And if u use pdanet or easy tether they have pc versions which have inbuilt drivers. )

Is there any way, how could I disable popup screen with USB connected and that green monster appearing anytime I connect phone to PC? I use cradle and it is very annoying.

I dont know on the Vision, but on the Wildfire, it doesnt work like that. You have to pull down the notification bar, select "transfer files to/from the computer", and only then the Popup Window with the Android appears, and, provides an option to enable disk mode.
When I connect my Wildfire to the PC, there is simply a notice on the notification bar - USB Connected. You could try and check your cradle settings?

i solve tetering problem like this. flesh cm 7.1.0 rc1 and work perfect. have problem whit my xp. now,perfect

Just formatted and now my pc won't see my epic!!

I just got a win 7 x64 ultimate install disk. Now it won't even see my phone....I downloaded the correct drivers ad still nothing. I was on win 7 x32 ultimate and installed the 32 bit drivers and all went well. Now I'm on x64 bit version and with x64 drivers it ain't find my device!!!! I'm at a loss here.

did you get it resolved, I had the same issue. I then move to the rear usb port, you need to look for the safley remove media icon on the task bar. It should be there. when you plug the phone in the epic should show up. If not goto disk manager in windows and make sure that the drive letter that the epic is trying to use isnt already in use, i fit is change it.
The other thing is to make sure on the phone that you have selected the correct method, IE charging etc In my case the phone would show up as raw format yet it would show up fine on another PC. all i can think of is that it was something buggy with the USB.
Try a different USB port and if that doesn't work try a different cable.
If it still doesn't work try removing the drivers for the device manually, reboot the system and reconnect the device. It should automatically discover the drivers for you running Windows 7.
Also when you connect the phone to the system does the menu pop up asking you how you would like the phone to respond to the connection (IE. Mass Storage, Phone as Modem and whatever the 3rd option is)?

I've never gotten those options ever. Nothing pops up on my phone. I thought it was weird since I've heard about them, but never seen it, mac or pc. Any way this is connected to usb debugging being on?

Edit: yup, menu came up when I turned USB debugging off.
Glad the menu came up! The question is did the computer pick up the device?

Nope not even with the correct samsung epic win 64bit drivers. I couldn't for the life of me get then to see my phone. Reinstalled win 7 ultimate 32bit. Saw it right when hooked up! So I guess ill stay with my x32 edition :-(

You probably just got some drivers crossed. Manually removing the drivers should have fixed it versus reimaging the system =/

USB Mass Storage Issues - Vibrant

When I plug my Vibrant in by USB on WinXP I am getting a device not recognized error. I get nothing when plugging into a Mac. I've tried multiple cables and I have changed the USB options to each option.
I have rooted the phone and installed the GPS fix.
Any suggestions for fixing this would be appreciated.
Thank you
Load the galaxy s drivers, will work after that

What about for Mac OS? The phone doesn't show up when I mount the cards. Is there a way to get mass storage to work on a Mac that doesn't involve turning on USB debugging?
I'm not a mac person, sorry, hopefully someone else can chime in on that.
Edited, if you go to the thread i linked, the op states for linux and mac the android sdk drivers should work, hope that helps.

When you plug it in are you sliding down the notification bar and selecting the USB Connected > Mount option?
As well when you are done you have to Unmount when you are done.
Yeah, like kizer said too, mount the device. I was assuming that step is s.o.p.

Yes, I had a G1 for years and that always worked perfectly. The only way to get my Vibrant to show up though is to use USB debugging mode.
I just did some quick googling and it seems mac users are doing exactly what you said you don't want to do, setting usb debugging on, and that seems to be a quick fix. I'm sure there is more info out there in cyberspace, but if debugging works, I say go with it. I always have debugging turned on, incase I need that oops adb action.

With the OP having one post who knows if he/she really knew it had to be mounted. LOL Figured it wouldn't hurt just to mention just in case.

When i use it on my Mac, i have to enable USB debugging. Then both drives (internal and SD) pop up just fine.
So it looks like someone answered this, just confirmation then.
Another theory
My Vibrant has mounted normally and without any problems on WinXP sp3 and Win7-64 systems, but I have also run into the occasional system where it will not work at all.
On the systems where things worked normally it was never required that I load a special Samsung USB driver for the phone. The standard mass storage drivers included with Windows worked fine.
My new theory is that there may be a drive letter collision issue in some cases. On the laptop that I use with my phone 90% of the time the phone always mounts as drive G: and H:.
On other machines I have noticed that the phone always seems to mount as G: and H: even if E: and F: are available. I'm not sure how/why it always gets mounted using those letters. It may somehow be defaulting to that because G: and H: were the first letters available on the first system I plugged it into.
I have a Win7-64 desktop machine that will not currently allow the phone to connect. This particular machine already has G: and H: assigned to hard drive partitions.
I will probably experiment with temporarily changing the letter assignments to see if I can get the phone to mount. It's worth a shot I guess.
Sorry, I didn't go into as much detail as I could have.
I've installed those drivers listed here as well as any other I could find. I've tried USB debugging mode, changed all the USB modes listed. I've mounted and unmounted the SD cards using the settings menu when doing this.
Is it possible that there is some background service that should be running? Or is it possible that something in the firmware is screwed up? I guess it's also possible that the USB plug itself is messed up?
Thanks for the help.
I used to use this forum years ago when I had a HTC WinMo phone, it seems to have lost any record of past posts due to inactivity.
As kizer stated in his post, are you mounting from the prompt on your phone's notification bar? Once plugged into your pc or mac, you slide down the notification bar from the top of your home screen, click on the usb prompt then select mount. Thats the only step you didn't list that may have been missed.
Edited - the prompt in the notification area may say mass storage, my home pc fried last week so i cant test it to get you the specific verbage.

I don't get any prompt at all. At this point I will just install CM6.1 when it comes out and hope that fixes the issue. It's usable for now. I can transfer files using WiFi File Explorer for now.
It helps if you know if you are USB 1.0 or 1.1 or 2.0....or even 3.0.
Also, are the USB ports powered ?
Are the USB ports on the computer in question filled with dust and dirt ?
Contacts corroded ?
Are the ports recognized by the operating system correctly (you know, drivers loaded since it's old arsed WinXP) ?
Do you undertand how to operate a computer at a higher level than just being able to install viral apps ?
Malware ?
Trojans ?
I could go on all day.
It works fine here, on Win7x64, WinVistax64, and *nix.
That is bizarre you should get a least something in your taskbar.
Click for larger photos if you like.
Heres what my looks like and of course I have the taskbar pulled down so you can see it.
Below that is the box you would click to say connect it.
I did have a freind who didn't realize he could pull down the notification bar. Could that be the case here?
Op, you do know you can pull down the bar at the top of your screen, the one with your clock and battery icon etc., put your finger up there and swipe in a downward motion.

I have tried this on a corporate IT managed WinXP system (running Kapersky AntiVirus) and a currently updated Snow Leopard MacBook. I could give details all day as well. Both are in good condition and very likely not the issue.
Seriously, if you have nothing useful to say don't say anything at all.

they don't understand i had this issue too man and i fixed it.
first go to that link and download those drivers... use the uninstall app to uninstall the drivers off your computer.
while your doing that go into your phone setting>applications>usb settings
make sure it says "ask on connection" (you can change it later) go back and go to development to turn on usb debugging.
reinstall drivers, connect phone wait for the drivers to load. the un-connect phone turn debugging off.
and it was fixed for me.
hope this helps

This is very odd. I've heard of some people having trouble getting it to connect as USB storage (even experienced it on a few occasions) but never having it automatically connect. First off, I have to ask the stupid question: Are you sure it is connected as USB storage and not just connected to the PC? Meaning does the drive show up on your computer? Second, do you have any apps installed like widgetsoid or any other automation apps (there is a chance something you have installed is forcing it to connect automagically)? Third, are you running any custom roms or kernels? And finally, the ****ty question, have you tried a factory reset/full phone wipe?
Are you using a custom rom?
I've never had this happen when I was on stock or CM7, but I was trying out Modaco it was auto turning on usb storage for some reason. Just from my experience though.

Well, this is embarrassing....

For Pete's fookin sake.....
I mussa flashed 20 friggin ROMS to my WinMo Omnia....and I CAN'T EVEN GET THE DAMN DROID TO BE RECOGNIZED ON MY PC.
For cripes sake
So I loaded the USB driver.....on my XP PC. Plug in the droid. "USB Device Not Recognized...." OK....google....read....read...read... ah HAH...I'd set the USB Debugging mode to ON so I could root. Need to shut that back off. Done.
"USB Device Not Recognized...." .... again. Really? REALLY???? So....here I sit....unable to connect my REALLY nice Droid to my GODDAAMMMMMM PC
So...would somebody hold my hand here? Lill' help?
Have you tried switching different modes? Charge only, mass storage, pc mode. One of them might work.
Well I tried Usb and pc I wasn't sure about the other 2. When I was reinstalling the driver I noticed 1 choice was" remove", but I just picked repair. I'll try removing it tonight and then reinstalling it. I was hoping somebody might have an alternate driver to suggest

when you plug your phone into your computer, look at the notifications bar on your phone. Does it say that usb is connected?
Sometimes it helps to switch the USB port you plug in to.
So to see the data, are you switching the phone to Mass Storage mode? I know it's an obvious question, but just wanted to make sure...
Also some people had success hooking up to different computers.
I thank u all very much. My phone hooks right up to my wifes W7 laptop but no joy in any port, any storage setting, any gender of dead chicken being swung overhead while chanting in various states of undress. I did get it to rain,so that's sumpin. I quit.
I'm not gonna theme because I don't want to load the pc stuff on her computer (and listen to her complain that I'm "using up her memory"....u married guys recognize the die-on-this-hill avoidance) for the off-chance that things don't go right &I need to sob or abp or whatever that whole thing is.
I'm rooted,deodexed,de-bloatwared, and happy as a pig in **** with stock.
I might theme down the line if I can figure out how much crap id have to reload ... I'm frequently incapasitated by laziness and am tired of longpress deleting and longpress adding ...plus...I just bought power amp & don't wanna lose my license.
But its still fookin annoying that the goddam thing won't load on my desktop.
Peace out.

before you quit, could you try one simple thing?
have the phone on when you plug it into your computer. Once done, go to the notifications bar. If the phone recognizes the computer, it should say "USB connection".
Click USB connection and make sure its not on charge only.
To access the sd card, click on USB Mass Storage.
Man that's a good thing you and I go back so far. Is it was anybody else I'd say no forget it. I can tell you that the phone says usb connection. And I'm trying to find the sd card on the windows explorer
... are you saying there is somewhere else is the windows environment to click that I can determine if it's on mass storage or charge only?

Ok, here da deal:

[Q] Usb debuging not working on cm7.1?

Sorry for post this twice but there's few people see my previous thread.
When I connect my nook color to pc, nook shows that usb debuging is conected now, but on my pc neither the hardware manager shows something like android device nor other app detect this.
And when I manually unselect the usb debuging and reselect,it just shift to the usb mass storage page.I dont know why.
I am running the newest cm7.1 RC1
Sorry for my bad English, Please help!!Thanks!!
Mine seems to be doing the same thing

Are you sliding up the notification bar and tapping on the USB notification? Once you do that, it allows you to enable USB mode and your nook color drives will show up in windows. When finished, be sure to safely eject your device in windows before turning off USB mode to properly exit USB debugging. If you don't, USB debugging wont turn off and you may end up crashing.
Nevermind.
