ok, i just rooted, havn't flashed a rom yet, and i can't cause when i plug my phone up to my computer, it won't bring up the "mount" option. I went into my phone settings and turned on usb debugging, then it would bring up the mount option, but wouldn't show up on my computer. help please?
Are you using the cable that came with the phone?
Have you tried another USB outlet?
Have you updated the drivers?
Root would not affect this, at all.
From the home screen:
Menu>Settings>Applications>USB settings> now select "ask on connection"
Let me know if that helps
Also make sure the phone's drive letter that the system assigns isn't being hung up by another drive. You can check this by right-clicking the My Computer icon in Windows -> Manage -> Disk Management and make sure it's there. If it is, click on the drive and then right-click -> Change Drive Letter & Paths.
Hope this helps,
~SB
and of course make sure debugging is on, forever and always

If you use adb or any rooted apps that requires it. For example, titanium backup requires you to have USB debugging on from what i remember. Oh, and if you're a developer.

vibrant, unrooted (trying to root using the method in sticky with update.zip). I follow the instructions to enable mass storage device, then plug into usb/laptop. i see that it recognizes 2 new drives, but both cannot be accessed (insert a disc in removable drive K).
does anyone know how to fix this?
Try this...
From the home screen hit the menu>settings>applications>usb settings...
Make sure you have the "mass storage" or "ask on connection" radio button checked.
also make sure you have usb debugging turned on
......AND, it never hurts to just reinstall your Samsung USB drivers...what youre experiencing happens to me every once in a while, and i just reinstall the drivers and everything is good
i have the usb drivers installed on my comp-same issue.
i could not have debugging and mass storage on at teh same time. it always asked me to turn the other off when i wanted to do the other.
of course this was all on stock.

i realize you have the drivers.....but just reinstall them. just run the .exe and it will say something like "these drivers are already installed. would you like to proceed?" then just say yes
its fixed this exact issue with me several times...just try it out, it cant hurt
Thanks!
Thanks guys, I tried those already. I'm thinking it's the drivers which I just tried to load but my computer cannot locate them. Any links or suggestions?

I don't mean to sound like an idiot but I'm really feeling like one right now. When I follow your link to the drivers I end up having to install Driver Genius or Driver Boost and of course they tell me I've got multiple driver issues and want me to register and pay. Where am I going wrong? Thanks for your help.

HAHA i know there are a lot of confusing links. its setup like that on purpose for advertising, its supposed to screw you up
see where it says "click here to download drivers"? click on the button directly below that
then on the next page, under where it says "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" click on "Softpedia Secure Download (US) [EXE]" ---> thats your download link
for some reason the cards are locked for me. i did find a way to open them but it really is a hassle: after the mass storage click, plugging it into laptop, i open voice dialer and say "open sd card" and click ok. then i click "enable mass usb storage device" on the top of the next screen and then my computer gains access to it.
WEIRD! but works. if anyone knows how to fix without using voice dialer, please let me know.
you have to enable USB debugging before you plug in your USB cord.
lol are you running custom kernel like test 14 ? due to bug? i dunno , u wont find anty storage .

works after switching to bionix rom though, it gives me a little button to press "connect usb storage" after clicking enable mass usb storage. now i dont have to do voice dialer.

No guarantees, but have you tried downloading the android sdk and choosing to install the usb drivers?

On this one i think i installed all them the issue here is that when i plug my phone it let me know that new hardware has been found then it starts with the installation some will install but i think there is one or two the just sit searching but nothing happens and then i try to closed out but it freezes up on me and when i turn off debugging then it closes out but if i try to install them with debugging off nothing comes up.
another thing i used my phone with acomputer runnig windows 7 and it worked so im guessing its a prblem with xp
I think pdanet has the drivers when you install it if you don't know how to manually add them.

I don't know if this will work for you, but it worked for me...
When you plug your phone in via a usb cable, you will see a Verizon Mobile drive pop up on under "My Computer"
If you open it, there is a folder in there called DRV. There is a file called something like WM_driver installer. I installed that.
Then I go to my phone chose to connect as a disk drive (I have mine set to charge only by default).
Then I click on my removable disk and I can see my phone's data then.

OK, I screwed the pooch on this one and if I'm correct, I'll have to undo everything and start over. I used DeanGibson's directions for rooting to 1.4.1. I could never get sideloading to work, so in a moment of dumb, I uninstalled NThiddensettings so I could reinstall a newer version. When I did that, I guess I lost USB debugging and enabled automount. So now, all Windows will do is add Nook Tablet as a device. If I'm correct, since I can't sideload, the only thing I can do to get it back USB debugging is undo everything and start over. Of course, I could wait until NThiddensettings is on Android Market, but that will probably never happen.
I feel for ya Tel.
I may find myself in your shoes before all is said & done.

Just go to http://li362-167.members.linode.com/...s_launcher.apk in your browser and install. You will be able to activate usb debugging at that point.

I'm was blocked from sideloading anything since I couldn't enable USB debugging. I have just fixed it though. I looked in my Apps and saw an app titled AppMenu. That let me get to my development settings and turn off auto mount and enable usb debugging. I still can't get NThiddensettings to let me install from unknown sources like it should, but at least I can sideload now.
I'm glad you got it working, although downloading from a link on a web page does not require side loading, as does downloading from another local computer using a usb connection.

Oh, I can download all I want, but without being able to enable usb debugging and disabling automount, I couldn't install anything. In fact, I'm still being blocked from installing any apps directly, they have to be installed via adb or Sideload Wonder Machine. I can live without that now that I've gotten usb debugging enabled again.
I guess I'm missing something. Which program enables the ability to install an apk file? I thought an apk file was self installing.

Hello- USB debugging is turning itself on(putting a check on itself in the settings) automatically as soon as I plug in the USB cord and enable USB storage.
I am using the ROM located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442889
Any help is appreciated, thank you!
as far as i see its always enabled in stock roms... and there is nothing to worry about unless you have some virus in pc which will use adb to format phone or steal data

The problem is I can not turn off USB debugging, this is not normal behavior. It automatically turns itself on...
Download ROM Toolbox from Market, go to root browser, build.prop Editor, click the pencil on the extreme upper right type - persist.adb.notify=0 in the end of the textbox. Should solve the problem I think..
I've turned on the developer options and can enable the USB Debugging option to be able to use Titanium backup. However I notice when I reboot the device it gets disabled again. Does anyone know of something/somehow to ensure it's enabled on boot?
Thanks!
---Eric
Got it, need root shell of course:
- Remount /system in readwrite mode.
- Add this to /system/build.prop: persist.service.adb.enable=1
- Save, remount as read only.
- Reboot.
Well...didn't really work...though it did, any ideas? USB debugging for me has to be manually picked each time.
So what seems to work for me upon reboot is that I use SManager and have a script run as root at boot up:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo 1 > /data/property/persist.service.adb.enable
This seems to enable USB debugging upon each boot. The build.prop worked once, but did not seem to keep it enabled.
Any chance anyone else has come up wth a different way to retain USB debugging on reboot? I just had to rebuilt my phone from scratch by restoring from stock and executing a script at boot up could potentially be fatal. I'm a linux admin so I do know what I am doing but without a unlocked bootloader and the ability to recover from a CWM backup, I'd rather not mess with the OS too much if possible.

I use Tasker with the secure plugin.
It allows turning on USB Debugging. I use it to turn on USB Debugging as a condition after boot.
Also the worst case with a script, you re-install/flash the OS.
I've reinstalled my Verizon LG G3 from stock ROM twice now. The first time I rooted it with IOROOT and the USB debugging option stays enabled after reboot. The second time I rooted it with Stump root and the USB debugging option does not stay enabled after reboot. No idea what is different between them but maybe someone else can dig through and figure it out.
I have the same problem, when I reboot the phone and open titanium backup.

Set up a task with the "secure Settings" plug in.
You are going to go into the "System Actions" and select "USB Debugging" then select the radio button to "On" then save.
Now you are going to create a profile that uses an Event.
The even will be a "System" type of event and under system you will see "device boot".
Once you have created the event add the USB Enable task you created.
This all assumes you know how to use tasker.
problem fixed......

Actually not true.
I used ioroot and I have the issue of USB Debug not sticking.
That's why I came up with the way to fix it in tasker.

Real easy check usb debug,then plug phone into computer go to your folder that you have adb shift right click mouse all at once open cmd window here check Ethernet mode on phone check rsa cert when prompted type adb devices press enter then adb reboot then enter when LG logo appears unplug phone now your usb debug will always stay checked
WHATSAMATTA U ALUMNI
the tasker approach is now disabled and deathsquad737`s approach has caused it to stay checked... Thanks!
Hi Guys
I found a easy way to fix it.
1) turn on USB debugging
2) Connect G3 to your PC
3) Reboot your G3 when keep connected to PC
4) Unplug
Now the debugging option will be kept.
