I am rooted, and I've tried restarting both phone and laptop. Reseated sd card also. I have disk drive selected as default connection. Any ideas? Thanks
have you tried enabling or disabling usb debugging?
Have you tried selecting Mount as disk drive option when plugged into computer? I know my default is Charge only but when i want it to show up, I choose mount it. On my mac it comes up as a drive with "no name" as its name in the finder
I tried usb debugging. It says usb debugging enabled at the top of the evo when I connect it like that, but still cannot see the sd card. I do have "disk drive" selected as my default connection type.
Still can't get it to see the sd card. Is there a way to install a ROM via bluetooth?
Get a usb-microsd reader and mount the phone's sdcard on the mac, if you can't download the rom directly to your sdcard, over 3g/4g.
Did you happen to recently install the newest version of Ilife?
I think thats what did it for me...

I have a problm with my Evo as that it literally thinks its connected to a PC when it's not.
I had the phone, checked for a Astro Fime Manager for a file I placed on SD Card. When I was checking, most things appeared but when I checked other folders, like the Download folded, nothing showed in there. But I know I had files in that the folder.
I then connected the phone to my PC and without it asking me if I wanted to charge it, sync it, use it for disk drive or internet connection, it went straight to the "Use it as a disk drive" feature. Verified because soon as I plugged it into my computer, the SD Card opened on my PC.
I then clicked to have the phone just "Charging" and now I can see everything on my SD card again.
Do anyone know what this problem could be or how to fix it? I thought it was one of the SD Card Problems that was occurring to some phones. But according to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
Their SD card stopped working altogether before doing the fix.
Another question about this, will "Debugging" cause this if left on? I had it one for doing the adb stuff when I rooted etc.
Turn off the auto USB switch in the settings of Double Twist.

Thank you so much!!!!! I've been wondering why it was doing this. I was about to go buy a new SD card.
Thanks again!
I had this same problem a while back. I wonder why they thought this was a useful feature. They could have just changed the default option for when you plug in the USB.
Hi! all. i'm on Defrost 2.0b. currently got this problem.
when i plug in my desire to my laptop & unmount my SD card, it takes quite a while or can't unmount. then after it unmounts, i go to the shortcut on home screen to press the button which will go into USB storage mode. but the circle loading thing keeps loading & my laptop never seems to detect the phone. although i see a removable disk icon but i can't access it. please help.
also i have market enabler 3.0.8 installed. but not sure how to use anyone can give tutorial?
i dont suppose you are using a mac?
if i disable the disk drive from the phone then the computer is unable to properly eject the phone
you have to eject the phone driver from the computer first and then disable the disk drive from the phone

i'm using Vista Premium version. 2gb RAM. please help. i can't even sync with HTC sync.
sounds to me like a driver problem
go to control panel -> device manager
find your phone and uninstall the driver
disconnect your phone
reboot your computer
do not install htc sync but connect your phone to your computer and wait for the drivers to install
try now
properly enabling disk drive/storage:
connect your phone to your computer
drag down the notification bar and select connection type to disk drive
in 'My Computer' you will now see your memory card
to unmount just change from disk drive to charge and then disconnect phone from computer
hope this helps and sorry for the delay
A few weeks ago when running a LeeDroid custom ROM, i noticed that whenever I had HTC Sync as the default connection type in "Connect to PC" and I plug my phone in using the usb cable , the phone would Sync with my PC but it would also mount the SD card as a USB removable drive. This is not supposed to happen and should only mount the SD card if I choose "Disk Drive" as the connection type in "Connect to PC"
I then unrooted my phone due to the reboot problem and I am still having the problem above, which is a pain because i have my phone charging all day at work and have custom ringtones on my SD card which do not work when the SD card is mounted as a removable drive.
Anyone else having the same trouble?
Winamp or something similar installed?
yep Winamp
Can be solved somewhere in the settings of Winamp, has been mentioned multiple times.
thanks, got it now!
I can no longer access my SD card from my windows pc when connected by USB. This occurred on the same day that i unlocked my bootloader, installed the java sdk and android sdk.
I have the phone set MSC (mass storage mode) and connect it by USB as I always did in the past.
Windows recognises that something is connected and a new removable drive is created.
In the past my phone would give me the option to connect the memory card, however this no longer happens.
Clicking on the new drive in Windows causes a message box to pop up saying "Please insert a disk in drive..."
No amount of fiddling with usb settings (debugging, MTP, etc) plugging / unplugging or rebooting has made any difference. I've tried reinstalling USB drivers and removing & reinstalling Sony PC companion. I've also tried accessing the sd card from ubuntu in a virtual machine, but that also doesn't work.
I can view the SD cards contents from my phone and through an adb link.
Does anyone have a solution? From extensive googling, the only things i can see that i haven't tried is:
- trying a different cable (which has been suggested but sounds pretty daft to me)
- reformatting the sd card
Any other suggestions? If i do have to format the sd card, are there any good guides or is there anything i need to avoid doing???
Can you read the card from a card reader.
if you can it is then either drivers or the cable
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
unfortunately i don't have a card reader. I'll give it a try tonight in my girlfriend's phone and with a usb cable and see how that works out.
it will definitely work with a card reader...this problem occurs when usb storage suddenly stops working as soon as usb is connected..i guess best way is to reinstall ROM if the problem persist.
Flashing firmware (global v62) got it working again )
It charges the device through the cable, and I can download/write to the SD card on the phone itself, but I just can't bring it up on the PC
even in 4ext recovery when I go on USB storage mode, it doesn't load up
I went into USB storage on my PC and set it to disk drive on default, and "ask me" is ticked but the notification doesn't come up. tried reformating it through recovery as well
Thanks
Edit: My mistake, had to install USB 3.0 drivers (Dell XPS 15 - installed them from the Dell driver CD)
