Hi all,
I've a very strange problem with transferring MP3 files to my Desire via USB.
Mine's an Orange branded (eurgh) 2.1 version with an 8GB SD card that had been formatted via the phone OS previously.
The problem is I can no longer copy MP3 files to the device via USB. There's plenty of space, I can transfer MP3s all day long via Bluetooth and I can even rename my MP3 files to '.txt', transfer them and then rename them back to MP3! Very weird! Only seems to effect MP3 files.
I get 'Can't read from source file or disk' in Explorer or 'Cyclic redundancy check' in DOS from whichever PC I try from (have tried from an XP and Win7 PC).
Has anyone else encountered this problem? I've not yet tried an alternative Micro SD or reformatting again.
Cheers.
Had a similar problem I think. Initially thought it must be a faulty usb cable. I just removed the cable and reconnected it to the back of my desktop and viola! She worked like a dream..

i just flashed ARHD 5.1.11, when i drag and drop some files from my sd card to the pc, it works. but when i drag and drop back from pc to the sd card which is in my dhd connected by usb, i got the 'the device is not ready' error message. and the pc cannot locate my sd card anymore though phone still shows im connected in disk drive. the error message only appears when i tried to transfer files larger than 1mb. i tried rebooting pc and dhd, google for help, change usb port, re-flash ARHD 5.1.11, tried another pc. no luck. can someone please help me on this matter? thanks!

i've tried that. but it can't solve the problem. i've inserted the memory card to a card reader and transfer files and it work. so i don't know what's wrong with my phone.
Same problem here, Incredible S
Nobody found a solution to this problem yet? I just realized I'm having the same problem with my HTC Incredible S ("the device is not ready" error while in the middle of transferring big files from PC to phone).
Could it be just an HTC issue? I also remember Desire HD having lots of other SD card issues (mainly SD card suddenly unrecognizable / unmounted at random times, sometimes requiring reboot).
I have a Desire HD that was branded in Orange UK. I bought a 16gb sandisk sdcard and debranded, downgraded, rooted, radio off and i run leedroid's 3.3.0 rom.
My problem is when i try to copy from pc media files. At first started with videos, but this was settings matter and solved with handbrake and some net search.
This regards music. I crop a song with Nero wave editor to use it as ringtone to DHD. I saved it as mp3 with lame mp3 option of encoding.
I put it in a folder named call tunes and copied to phone through usb cable and set the phone to disk mode. Other times plays the entire song (40 sec) others only 7 secs and others it says that it can't play this file. One time i copied the song and when i disconnected the usb cable wasn't anything copied to the phone.
Today i tried with a card reader and when i copy the folder i get the message "massive storage device. Put again the disk" I remove and reattach the card reader but the folder is empty, nothing written, only the folder copied.
I'm going crazy! Any help please?
Try formatting the card to fat32. Might help.

Thaks but it's already formatted to FAT32.
I'm now trying to copy all the contents to another sdcard to see what happens.
But i get very often a weird message:
Compressed files (as divided)
Insert the last disk of the total number of volumes and click "OK" to continue.
Very confused.
I tried again to create a folder and copy some mp3 songs.
I see them while connected to pc but when i disconnect the usb cable the folder disappears. It's like a ghost. At first is there but after usb cable disconnect dissapears!
I tried the samsung 8gb that came along with my DHD and guess, it worked!
I copied songs and a video which played fine.
I will try to reformat the sandisk sdcard to see if something changes!
need to transfer a rom from windows xp but only recognizes device as media player. doesn't allow me to transfer zip files. changed file extension to jpg and was able to transfer, but can change the extension from the phone. only installed the phone driver. anything else I need to install?
Thanks!
Mine recognizes as a media device in Windows 7 also, but I am able to transfer any type of file.
If you have a WiFi connection you can use Airdroid ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid) to transfer it.

Download Samsung Kies and it should include any missing drivers for your computer. Also, when plugged in, you can sometimes swap between Media Device (MTP) and a Camera (PTP) device, to get it to work properly. Hope this helps.
Somewhat related question...is there any way to play my music fron the internal sd card onto my car radio. Came from an ns4g and was able to do this from the built in 16g memory. Didnt have an external sd card on the ns4g and havent gotten one for the gs3 yet.

I'm on the windows 8.1 preview. I'm trying to copy my 32 gb external sdcard contents over to my pc, then copy those folders and files over to my new 64gb class 10 sdcard. When I connect using my usb cable, it shows the folders and files on the root of the card. Some of the folders that I open are empty. Some of the folders have my stuff in them. Why isn't it showing all of the contents? That's the first problem.
2nd problem, I tried copying over the folders and files that weren't empty but i get a "Device unreachable" error, which kills the transfer. Not sure what this error means. Has anyone else ever gotten this error? If so, how do you fix it ?
In the meantime, I'm using AirDroid to copy my stuff over, but it's gonna take a couple hours. I heard the usb cable transfers things faster than wifi (at least, faster than my slow internet) so that's why i'm trying to fix these problems.
Edit- I forgot about the adapter that came with the sdcard so I'm using that. I still would like to know how to fix these two problems though, if anyone knows.
Anyone else having the issue where they can't transfer files from their Win 10 PC to the phone? I have it set to File Transfer mode when I plug it in via USB into the computer. When I pull it up in File Explorer, it says "Phone". Double clicking it shows my MicroSD card and the internal storage. Then when I try to click and drag or Ctrl-C Ctrl-V a file into either spots, nothing happens. I did try enabling USB Debugging mode, but that's not required for a simple file transfer. This is honestly kinda ridiculous. Also, when I'd take my MicroSD and move files from windows to it by connecting it to a USB adapter, the files transfer onto the card, but as soon as I plug it into the phone, all those files disappear in the file explorer and are replaced with a file or folder called System Volume Information. Anyone else having issues??
Nope have copied files from what's app for printing and copied my music to phone storage and external memory card as well,

I had no issues using the steps you used. I just grabbed my USB-c to USB cable for charging my old oneplus, and it worked.
I used Bluetooth to transfer a few files from my PC to my phone. It worked great
Bluetooth works, plugging in phone (sd card formatted as internal storage), and Teamviewer works. I think I might use Teamviewer as it's similar to a ftp client program, makes it real easy.
What did you format the sd card as? Internal or external storage?

Same here.
For normal files and documents i just use Google Drive, i don't have huge important files i need to have when i am out and about so i am unable to test this as i haven't had a need to plug my phone into a pc for 2-3 years.
Bluetooth would work or an SD Card reader, as there are so many ways to get files between a pc and a phone without a cable its partly why ive not even bother to check the does my phone work with my pc step. Back in the days when you got Software and Drivers for your phone are a thing of the past.
I using wi-fi to transfer files you can easily find an app for that

Which app are you using?
Heya, chiming in here to suggest Airdroid...look it up, useful and needs no plugging in, just used your WiFi networks to do the transfer, very useful tool (I,d like to thank YouTubes Mr Mobile ((Michael Fisher)) for that)
No problem here also...I just use my GoPro5 Type-C Cable with my Razer, and Copy and Paste in Windows Explorer....easy. I recommend you try another cable
Using an anker "normal" usb to usb c cable works fine to transfer files. But I can only transfer files to the SD card, internal storage doesn't appear.
For transfer via WiFi I use es file explorer, it connects fine to windows shares even with needed auth
