[Help] Nexus S 4G Won't mount Usb Storage.

Alopez_45 · Aug 26, 2011

In reality I really don't know where else to go I know that there is normally every time that you connect your phone it leads you straight into the Usb Storage now when I connect it. It just go straight into charging mode is there anything. Adb shell won't and I have to wipe it by tomorrow to send it our to Best buy! Help Please!

I had this problem. Here is how I fixed it. I deleted all Android phone and USB storage drivers from my computer. Then I plugged in the phone to USB. Then I quickly removed the USB from the phone while the computer was looking for drivers. Then everything worked fine again.

Wow I had this same problem about a week and a half ago. I never did find a solution. I tried multiple computers. I couldnt even unroot it because the computer did not detect it even in fastboot mode. I ended up sending it back to samsung to be repaired.

What data are you trying to backup? I would go into recovery, wipe data/cache, reflash the ROM, then test it.
You can backup apps/settings with titanium backup before you wipe.

Hey buddy youre not alone, mine is doing the same. Get a USB device not recognised error. Not found a solution yet

I too am not able to achieve a data transfer. I am running cm7 nightlies with Matrix kernel. Thought it was my cable going bad - replaced it and still no luck.

I had this problem I fixed it by removing the battery plug usb to phone and computer then reinsert the battery then turn on the phone. I ran into this problem when I upgraded to 2.3.7

Fixed mine with some serious cleaning of the USB port. I also tried buying a new cable, downloading drivers, etc. in the end, it was just a bad connection.

I've tried many cables, almost positive mine is a pure driver issue.

I've tried absolutely everything in this thread. Lost USB connectivity completely on my phone. Doesn't matter what machine, what OS, or what cable, or what drivers are installed. I'm assuming it must be a hardware issue at this point. Doesn't even work in bootloader.

For those updating OTA to 2.3.6 via OTA and needing to re-root their phones, make sure you're not having this issue. Being stuck without root is a pain in the ass!

Clean your USB port on your nexus! Clean it well.

Good advice actually. Scrubbing it with a dry toothbrush + using a a brand new 3 inch USB cable made the sucker finally connect.

Must have been a combination of bad cables and poor USB port hygiene

Yep, had to take a knife, brush, and alcohol swabby to mine.
