You should try a different usb cord. Also make sure usb debugging isn't checked. You could also Reinstall the drivers

So what is. The deal with debugging? I have it on all the time and don't have any problem with accessing my sd card!

/Shrug I never disable it myself.
I have had to reinstall the usb drivers numerous times for unknowns reasons... but that always fixes it for me.

You check USB Debugging when accessing your phone using ADB. (android sdk)
Normally that should prevent the sd card from mounting to the PC; but you know how something go. might depend on a few items and roms. I personally can't mount it when usb debugging is on.

Hi, So ever since I had my phone I was never able to get the SD to mount on my computer when I plug the phone in the USB. I even went into the system and turning on the mass storage. Is there another driver beside the one found on the samsung website? Because of this I can not get my phone rooted with CWM. if anyone can help that would be great!

Turn USB debugging on. Plug it into the computer. It should make a connection noise. Pull down the notification on your phone and connect mass storage. Your phone should say mass storage connected. If it is not connected as a drive on your computer go to control panel, system, device manager and see where it connected, either "other" or under USB ports as samsung android or something. Click on that and hit update driver. It may take a half hour to find and install all the drivers needed. Then reboot your computer and phone. You should be able to connect then.

Hi guys, I am having a problem with my HTC WFS a510c, I am trying to follow this guide here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399872) to s-off the phone, but I am unable to get the phone to connect in "disk drive" mode. I have the drivers installed, the computer recognizes the phone and shows the drive in explorer but does not show up in the gold card creator. Or when trying to open it from explorer it says "please insert a disk". The last time I connected through the usb cable this worked fine i was able to move pictures and music back and forth, but as soon as I went to try this it wont work. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you guys in advance.
Did you select mass storage in the menu that comes after connecting the usb??? And BTW you need to use a Card reader to create a goldcard.

I did pick that option on the phone when it asked, ive had it working in the past.
Thank you for the advice on Gold Card Creator, I was just confused in the guide it said to plug the phone in and pick mass storage mode. Will try using my card reader thank you again.
Thank you for the tip about using a card reader, I am now S-off and Rooted, thanks again.
The only problem I am having is my phone is still not functioning as a USB storage device
could be a hardware problem on the phone......try another usb cable.....it might be that your usb cable is malfunctioning

Ill give that a shot, and hopefully that will solve it. It's just been an odd problem because the computer recognizes the phone and installs drivers and everything just now joy with storage mode.
my storage mode stopped working after i installed link2sd and made an ext2 partition. wifes still works with 2 FAT32 partitions using the same cable.
Mine stopped working before I did link2sd or data2sd, not sure what caused it, just ordered a new cable today and sd card, to see if that helps it.

i have ANDROID 2.2.1 HTC WILDFIRE AND i experience the same exact problem,
i think the problem is in the phone as i tried another pc and it did the same
i've reached a solution but its retarded and time wasting which is restarting the phone (and sometimes the pc) which also tell me that its not a usb cable problem...
i still searching for a radical solution for this damn problem
any help will be appreciated

Do your PC has the LG pecan drivers? If not, hang around and you will soon find. Install them and it should be the end of your problems =D

Anybody have USB mass storage working? How about MTP? For the life of me can't find the answers. Tried the app on the play store 'SG USB MAS STORAGE ENABLER' but it only shows the sdcard as a CD drive and can't write to it.
Please help

Assuming that you are trying to connect to a computer,
USB Mass Storage does not work.
MTP Works, if you are not seeing your device after connecting to computer , then might need to install required drivers, or install samsung kies and that should install the drivers for you...
I have a SanDisk 64G XC micro SD card. Writes and reads no problem
Also USB (female) to micro OTB cable that allows me to use my 128 GB thumb drive, but not all of them.

Yes with my custom rom and kernel. I can connect any usb mass storage without a problem.
I think that OP asks about the option of connecting the device to PC in mass storage mode, i.e. just like normal pendrive, instead of the MTP/PTP protocols.
As far as i have found, it is possible only for the external storage, with help of dedicated app - there is a thread somewhere on xda, don't remember details, but hope it should be easy to find.
P.S. on Note 1 with Samsung stock ICS it was just a matter of running a startup script, don't know if it would work for Note 8

My device is rooted, I'm not as concerned with USB mass storage. I just want MTP to work. I tried uninstalling all drivers and installing KIES.
I tried uninstalling all USB devices and restarting windows 7 to install them back. I tried downloading the using the Note 8 tool kit to install them and NO success installing the MTP drivers. I tried a different computer and it works!
Any suggestions to getting it work on my computer???

Seems i missed a well. I'm afraid I can't help much with MTP problem, the only two suggestions that come to mind are: try on another PC to make sure it's not a device, secondly - on my Note MTP started to behave only after I installed the latest Samsung USB drivers (probably found somewhere on xda).
Hi there guys
I've just Rooted my HTC WILDFIRE (buzz) to the Cyanogenmod 9. I really enjoyed the speed and new functions I have on my phone now.
However, when I try to insert my USB cable into the USB port of my destkop, I can't see my phone storage. I tried to 'reinstall' CM 9 but it still doesn't work. I've tried it on different USB ports and computers, but my phone isn't recognized anywhere.
My SD card is not 'dead' or anything, cause I am still able to install apps from the store on it.
Anybody who can help me out here ?
EDIT: I managed to get on my storage again via recovery, but do I have to do this each time if I want to remove or add something on my phone/sd card via USB ?

More probably a problem of drivers.
Quick solution : Disable USB debugging on your device before connecting in USB Mass Storage Mode.
Permanent solution : Uninstall and re-install USB drivers
