Have already reinstalled htcsync. Computer recognizes HTC sync. When mounted as a disc drive the computer recognizes it as a drive, but when clicked it does not recognize the device or the SD card with information on it. was previously working with no problems. I have no clue on how to fix the problem. Is there any setting I could have changed by accident? My phone is rooted.

Had this problem a while back. Had to uninstall HTC sync, uninstalled all HTC and Android drivers, using a program called usbdeview. Unplugged phone from usb and Rebooted my pc. Reinstalled sync and everything worked fine. As a note I've also had problems with HTC supplied usb cables and my firewall from keeping my phone from transferring files.

Thanks for the reply! Did what you said, and it did not work. The computer recognizes the device, and says that it is ready. Before when i would plug it in, a window would pop up asking what action I wanted to take. I would open windows explorer to open the SD card and view my files. Now it does not pop up. When I go to my computer and click the drive for removable disk, it says please insert a disk into removable disk. This makes no sense. Anyone else have any advice?
Is your device rooted? I ask because a lot of us that are rooted used unrEVOked and had to load drivers before doing so and you might try just loading the drivers from their site. I can link you too it if need be, let me know.

Hello. I just got a xperia play phone a few days ago (the Verizon model R800x). I've been trying to figure out what to do with my phone, but I'm having trouble connecting the device to my pc.
I don't know why, but whenever I try to connect the phone's internal memory, the device never shows up. I thought maybe it was my computer, so I tried a couple other ones in my house too and they all can't find the device for some odd reason. It works fine whenever I change to usb storage though the memory card, but the phone itself NEVER shows up. I've also tried installing the PC companion to find the device, but the result is the same.
Any idea why my phone's internal memory can't be located?
EDIT: Yup tried it again. Tried uninstalling the driver and pc companion. Installed PC companion, driver was found, but still doesn't show up in My Computer whenever the phone is connected. SD Memory connection works and shows up in My Computer, connection with the phone doesn't. Tried installing other drivers and it usually says driver is already updated to the most recent. Anyone have any other suggestion?
That's how it works. You can't access the phone's internal storage from a computer.

I have another question though, I just managed to finish setting up adb for my device. The thing is all the apps are still grayed out for moving to sd option and can't be moved to my sd card. I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089282
I was able to locate my device after typing adb devices and I changed the setInstallLocation 2. But it's still grayed out after I reboot it and check my current apps.
Also on this guide Step 13: check that the Xperia play is available on my computer menu and you can browse his content it says that, but it doesn't show up on My Computer. In step 10, it says to change it media transfer mode. Is there a way to do this for the verizon phones since I heard that function is gone in the verizon xperias.
i'm unable to connect my S3 to my PC via USB. even though i installed the samsung USB driver, i get an error on my PC that says it had a problem installing the Samsung Mobile MTP Device. i also get a pop up error on my phone saying i need to install Windows Media Player 10. i got XP on my laptop.. do i really need Windows Media Player 10 to connect my S3 to the PC via USB? how do i fix this?
I haven't used XP in years but you may need to install this.

Did you try setting phone to the PTP mode which is like a camera just to transfer files? You could rename a tar to jpg

It should automatically prompt you to view internal and external sd cards on your pc. Are you rooted?

i have this problem on XP sometimes too, even with the drivers installed.
Try changing it from MTP to PTP. Let the computer find it again, then switch it back to MTP. Works for me every time

and to answer your question, i am not rooted. DO I HAVE TO BE ROOTED TO VIEW FILES ON THE SD CARD ON MY PC VIA USB? please help because i'm on the verge on stomping on this galaxy s3. thanks,
You don't need root to view files in your phone. Did you put an SD card in there?

hi cristianram.. i get an error that says: "there was a problem installing this hardware.. MTP. An error occurred during installation of the device. A service installation section in this INF is invalid."
i'm really tired of this phone.. i really feel like breaking it or throwing it away now.
Or like I already said.. Just use airdroid.

i seriously dont want to use airdroid.. i need to move heavy files and i dont want to spend years by my PC waiting for my phone to finish transferring files over the air.. i want to be able to see my sd card via usb.
thanks for the encouragement.. i know i'll get a solution with your help..
Fair enough. What if you do install windows media player 11 and see what that does?
Sent from my SGH-T999
Um the sdcard can only write at about say max 80Mbps sustained. WLAN will be fast enough at 40.. what is USB2.0?
Anyways if you are putting lots of files, leave them on external, and don't have to worry about copying again. No good reason to have then on sdcard vs external.
You can just copy to ext then use any file mgr program to copy it using the phone.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I use N so it's 100mbps and fast enough to not notice any difference. I'm guessing your problem is that XP is old as F. A simple solution is to just plug the sd card into your computer. But as it was pointed out the sd card is slower than wifi so it really doesn't matter.
Oh and I'd just like to point out you could have moved the files 10000 times by now. With airdroid you can move around the house while files are transferring. So you can relax and still use the phone instead of being tethered to the computer. And if you have splashtop you'd never even have to touch your PC.
Put Linux on a flash drive and use that?
I updated to official JB and now on connecting to pc via usb it doesn't show the same notification window as ICS.
There is no option as Charge Only or Disk Drive..
Is this normal, how to allow disk drive access in this case.
You can automatically access the phone storage on both sides (pc and from phone) at the same time. AKA mtp usb storage.

Even i have the same problem. Even if we are able to access the sd card from both sides, the sd card isnt being shown on the pc. I installed htc sync manager, but that just shows your media files, not your other data. Please help out fast!
Ums made place for mtp. You can mount your sd card in recovery

Some taiwanese pioneers report that it requires something from windows media player 11 too. Make sure you have these two software installed.
Alternatively, you can use newer windows to obtain simplify this problem.

I know about that.. When u connect the cell HTC Sync Manager Setup requires WMP 11 or above. I already hav 11.
Need some thing else, i have tried everything, I dont understand how can a Driver file b missing when i have run HTC Driver Installer and have downloaded the HSM setup file from HTC.com straight that too twice..
Initially the setup showed some other files missing like MS VC Redist 2005 etc, so i got them one after one then it stopped at this error...
All I wanted was to enjoy my JB but it a nightmare nw..
Remove all htc drivers.
Install the latest one from htc.
Reboot your computer
Connect the phone and let the drivers get installed.
I hope it works.

How can i remove all htc drivers, i know the device manager approach. But read sumwhere that these drivers are some times stored in system and same reverts when u connect the device..?
They have done away with usb mass storage in JB and gone to MTP storage. A decent work around is to mount with CWM recovery or TWRP recovery
Also this has been discussed before mate

I removed all drivers from device manager, then using htc sync installed the latest drivers HTC Driver Installer 3.0.0.021,
Then rebooted & connected the device.. But again same error of MTP..

Everytime I plug in my phone I get this message about hardware ID not recognized. I have to reinstall usb drivers each time this happens..Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I running the synergy rom. Computer is Win7
it's a Windows issue. Samsung or Microsoft have the wrong drivers on Microsoft's servers.
You can try installing the KIES drivers for windows from Samsung's site. Personally, I just don't install Samsung drivers. Windows will install enough drivers that you can access the phone and SD card. You just won't have access for ADB. Here's a thread I did on it explaining the process: XDA linky

However it transfers god awfully slow and if the file is a ccertain size or will say it stopped copying.
For instance when I copy over Isi and cso format files, For the PSP emulator.
Which means I have to take out the SD card inserted into a card reader then put it into my computer then transfer the files and then put it back into my phone which is a nuisance

I don't doubt what you're saying. If you checked out the thread, it was a limited solution. But for most, it was good enough to move files back and forth fine. May not be the fastest, but it was faster than the plug and plug the USB cord, or uninstall and reinstall the Samssung or other drivers.
I've tried most of what other suggested, install previous samsung drivers while disconnected from the internet, installing KIES drivers through Samsungs site, and so forth. Some worked better, but all eventually failed fairly quickly; I think I got two days with the KIES drivers.
The biggest problem with the solution is the lack of ADB. Being able to use ADB with the GN2 may not be used often by some, but it's a life saver when used.
Hey guys,
My niece has an HTC One M8 just as I do and I set up both of our phones identically when we got them... However, she is now having an issue where neither her internal storage or her sd card will mount on her PC. We have uninstalled and reinstalled HTC Sync like 5-10 times and we've tried standalone drivers, etc. She can still access the files via the phone and save files, etc...
Also, her phone does show up in device manager just like mine does... "My HTC"
Any ideas?
Try to uninstall any HTC drivers, than connect the phone. In Windows Device Manager, find the device. Select the option to manually choose the driver, then pick the generic MTP driver.
This worked for me when my PC would connect by adb/fastboot, but not read storage.

Seems to be a no go unfortunately.
Did she encrypt her data? If so, I don't think a computer can see the files now.
I've never done it, so I could be mistaken. ?
