I have bought a used Bell Galaxy S Vibrant and for the life of me it will not connect to my Macbook, I tried Windows at my friends place and same thing.
I have tried turning USB Debugging on, off, set USB settings to Kies/Mass Storage etc....
Can anyone help me connect to my Mac so I can root and unlock this thing?
Model- GT-I9000M
Firmware- 2.1 -update1
Kernal- 2.6.29
Build #: ECLAIR.UGJG9
Come on,
Anyone?
I dont know if this will help ...
I was originally able to connect my phone to Kies and then something happened that stopped it connecting. When I plugged in the USB cable, Windows didnt make the sound it usually does when a USB device is found.
I finally realised that this had only started happening after I had installed an SD card in the phone. The SD card was formatted with my old Windows Mobile phone. If I unmounted the external SD card using the settings menu then reconnect phone to PC it is now recognised as a USB device and Kies connects. Something about the format of this SD card was stopping the USB connection working.
I reformatted the external SD card in the phone and now it connects ok with the SD card installed still.
Maybe your problem is similar?
For the Mac, you need usb debugging turned on. Look in settings, applications, development.
I needed that to mount the usb storage on my Mac.

turns out it was a bum USB cable...yeah
So I got root now I need to unlock, I got the unlock code but it keeps coming up "unsuccessful"
Ok I got it
After I applied the 3 button combo fix, I rebooted into recovery and did a factory wipe, entered the code at the prompt and viola

Hello guys,,

i was connecting it through cable and chose the option to make it as usb memory device, restarted the pc and the phone is connected and after that computer is not recognizing the phone and also the phone itself not recognizing the SD Card, also i hard-reset the phone and did not work.
i tried the card in another phone (nokia) and it works fine
is anyone knows about this issue? thanks a lot
anyone?!?
thanks for all those who tried to help me in this post, i was expecting this much of help in this huge forum .. =D
Copy all your files off the card, format it on the phone, copy them all back
If the computer is not recognising the phone itself, try a USB port that has more power or use a double plug cable (like the ones which come with USB hard drives)

Hi,
I bought mine Galaxy yesterday, and now i found a serious problem!
I have 8gb (SanDISK) memory card and when i connect the USB cable (the original one) to the phone and give "mount" on the screen nothing appears on the PC (the PC is with WinXP)...the mass storage is missing!
On the phone itself all seems OK, i can enter in the SDCard, see and install apk., etc..
I will appreciate some help! Thanks!
Try turning on USB debugging in the applications menu and rebooting. Worked for me.
hello there just wondering can the android Froyo 2.2 CAB cause SDcard failure as my phone no longer recognizes my SD card and even though my Laptop/Computer does i cannot download files onto it.
I add this issue two days ago.
Just switch off completly your phone then restart. After reboot, check that win mo recognise it then.

Hello, this is my firt post and i need help!
Now when i connect in kies mode the phone keeps mounting and unmouting the Sd cards! and hangs in starting,doesnt get recognised by keys. This issues only occurs in kies mode and not in mass storage. Could it be related to kies, the usb port or phone?
Thanks

Ok, I've tested in another pc and it does the same: keeps mounting and unmouting both sd cards and stays in starting to kies without connect to kies... So i thinks it's not kies itself or usb ports... Is there anything wrong with the phone or it's something i installed to? (before the problems it disconnected by mistake from kies then I got a damaged internal sd card info and external sd card corruption, but both are working fine and I didn't get that notification anymore...). What can i do? Shall a format solve this?
Formated the internal sd and nothing... but wait... removed the external sd card and voilá! it now works!!!
Odd. I know there's a bug in kies that won't let you connect if you have media files with more then 16 letters. That could be reason. Check your files and rename them. Also do a format the SD car dwith your phone in settings. Unmount then format. That should also help

Ok, it's doing the same again, with or without external sd... So i realy don't know what's appening!
Be sure to use the latest kies , it's a kies bug , but i am prety sure that the latest one has it fixed .
Hello,
I can not see the external sd card on my windows PC.
I can see the internal sd card as a drive and i have read write access on my win PC (XP/ prof and win7 prof)
I can see the external sd card as a drive but cannot see any files or folders.
connected USB cabel
select mass storage device
not possible to connect USB to PC via dialog (no notification is vissible in notification bar)
reconnect usb cable
Now it is possibel to connect USB to PC via upcoming dialog on phoneselect mass storage device Message box comes up telling that some apps may not work because they have access to sd card
After disconnecting the phone from PC I cannot access the external SD card on my phone until reboot of phone.
I can access the the external sd card using a card reader on my PC.
I think I got these problems since flashing Voodoo-stable-5.1-Froyo-2.2.1-GT-I9000
Firmware Version 2.2
Baseband I9000XXJPP
Kernel 2.6.32.9
I tried to format the sd card with the phone - no changes.
Best regards and thanks in advance O
I have the exact same problem, when I connect with usb cable to my win 7 x64 system using the mass storage option, at first I do not connect at all, then I have to remove the usb cable once, after that I can connect but only see the sd card on the phone itself, the external sd card is invisible.
When I remove the usb cable I am also unable to see the external sd card on the phone itself and I have to restart my phone in order to see it again.
My proplem is solved. By error I installed the voodoo 5.1. on Froyo 2.2 . But it should have been installed on Froyo 2.2.1 as mentioned in the filename of the zip file. I thought froyo 2.2.1 is included in the voodoo update.
