usb storage(LG KU380) didn't mount automatically

I have an LG shine and have the same problem. Here is my log

[ 3379.656027] usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2

[ 3379.942288] usb-storage: probe of 5-1:1.0 failed with error -5

the same is happening to me, i have a huawei e176(3g) , it works perfect as a modem but is not working as storage device.
These are the lines from mesagess

I have a Samsung A767 Propel that is doing the same thing:

[243731.168022] usb 7-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 7
[243731.391143] usb 7-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[243731.401182] usb-storage: probe of 7-1:1.0 failed with error -5

Also appears to be the same bug over here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/375419

Don't know if this info is helpful, but a listing of lsusb shows:

Mass Storage Mode: ID 05c6:1000 Qualcomm, Inc.
PC Studio Mode: ID 04e8:6601 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd Z100 Mobile Phone
Media Player Mode: ID 04e8:5a0f Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd MTP Device

The problem relates to the Mass storage mode...the other two modes work fine.

The same exact bug is noticed here too.
I've looked everywhere for a workaround, and am currently following a lead on disabling ehci_hcd (or ohci_hcd or even uhci_hcd, depending on the case) and loading it manually. will update here if it turns out to be good and reliable.
Either case, i think it's safe to now mark this as confirmed...

This bug should be filed against usb-storage, since it's the crashing module (as noted in the other report...) maybe on should be the duplicate of the other?

output of dmesg after unloading/reloading the culprit driver (sudo rmmod usb_storage && sudo modprobe usb-storage):

I figured out a way to access the SD device... copy and paste this as root...

rmmod option
rmmod usbserial
rmmod usb_storage
sleep 2
modprobe option
sleep 2
modprobe usb-storage

if that doesn't work, then try it a few more times. it eventually does.
Also, i've posted a bug with the kernel developers, the are working on a fix. here is the bug...

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13496

can somebody try the patch that the developer has posted? I don't have time at the moment.

good luck!

here is a better script...

===== cut ========
rmmod usb_storage
rmmod option
rmmod usbserial
echo "sleeping for 2 seconds to let the drivers unload...." && sleep 2
modprobe option
echo "sleeping for 2 seconds to make usb_storage detect the storage device..."
&& sleep 2 && echo "done sleeping"
modprobe usb_storage
===== cut ========

My LG HB620T had the same problem: The usb-storage module failed with error -5. The script from ozstriker78 didn't work for me. After reading

http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-usb/2009/5/21/5776813/thread

about the problems with the usb id 05c6:1000, i tried adding the line

usb-storage option_zero_cd=2

to /etc/modules and it worked fine. Drawback of this workaround: modems with a emulated windows driver cd won't work.

Samsung Propel a766 here. Same issue. neither of those scripts, nor the entry in /etc/modules were able to stop the -5 errors.

Same with USB 3G modem Huawei E1750, contain MicroSD card reader. After insertion sd card in reader and virtual cd with windowsdrivers available, after swiching to modem all storages lost:

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

As I have written earlier: Under Jaunty the usb-storage option_zero_cd=2 workaround did it for me. But after the upgrade to karmic, my device doesn't work at all. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/477031

Same thing on my LG Shine on Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit. I'm not too thrilled about having to run a script to get the USB connection to work, so I have not tried that as a fix.

Can you test if the issue still occurs in Lucid or Maverick? Thanks!

- Under Jaunty the bug transforms into the problem described under https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-modeswitch/+bug/477031 A workaround exists.

- Under Lucid this transformed problem persists.

- Both bugs seem to be fixed in Maverick thanks to usb-modeswitch. At least this is stated in the comments of the linked bug, I didn't try the new packages because the workarounds do it for me.

Same under 10.04 64 bit. Trying to connect a LG KU380.
