I've tried this on 2 different pc's now (both Win7 x64) and installed HTC sync to get the driver as well. On the phone I choose 'connect as usb drive'. The phone shows up as a drive letter but with no media detected.
The phone is rooted and running Myn's WarmZ.
Go into your recovery and try enabling it from there

Do you mean usb-ms toggle? When I enable it I get a prompt 'usb enable. Press power to disable and return to menu', and there's no way to go back without disabling it again. This is with Amon Ra 2.3.
I thought that was only for transferring files while in recovery?
Its the same as mounting the sd while the phone is booted. Do your files show up when u mount in recovery?
Yeah. You're trying to transfer files.. right? Use HTC sync provided on your sdcard somewhere
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
This happened to me once, a long time ago. Apparently, the phone doesn't like it when you change the name of the SD card. If you did something similar, change it back.
That's about the one thing I can think of off the top of my head.

When I plug my phone into the computer it just charges and nothing pops up in the notification window for me to check set to storage or whatever. In development under applications USB debugging and notification when USB connected is on. I tried different USB ports on my computer and I tried rebooting the phone but still not working. What gives?
Does your computer recognize that something has been plugged in? (do you hear the usb inserted sound?) Have you tried plugging it into any other computers?

I have not tried on a different computer but when I plug it in the PDA Net thing that I installed to root pops up and says that I have plugged in a device, install pda on your phone to connect (or something along those lines)
Which rom are you using? if CM do you see the USB notification in the status bar? if your using windows, you might want to go into device manager and uninstall the USB host control and let windows scan and reinstall it.

Yeah I've been using it since it came out and had no problems with it. The USB has been working fine then yesterday I tried it out and it wasn't working.
Have you tried pulling the card and using a USB card reader on your PC? if the card cant be read with the card reader your SD card maybe going or gone bad... if it does read it, might want to backup and format it with the SD assoc format tool
Edit: is this the original SD card that came with your MT3GS? class 2 8gb Samsung... at least that's what mine was?

Oh I see... then try what the previous post says, backup your sd and format it. also it might be your usb port and/or cable's fault... even if the phone starts charging it doesnt mean the cable is making a good contact :/
it happens to me sometimes my dog went nom nom nom on my usb cable so it fails to connect properly sometimes xD
EDIT: you know what, try this and that way we can blame the rom if it works...
go into recovery and under partitions select mount usb and plug your phone to your computer, if it mounts and you see all your sdcard's contents then you just need to wipe and reflash ^_^
When I had this problem I had to get a replacement

It mounted in recovery and I was able to see the contents. Must be a problem with the ROM. I wonder how that happened? The other day my phone restarted randomly and usually it boots right up when it does that but this time it got stuck at the boot screen and I had to pull the battery and try again. Maybe that broke it somehow?

No, I'm on miguels smartass kernel with cm7 rc1, I can mount just fine. I would just wipe and reflash, should fix it. If not, try a different rom. If that doesn't work, then its hardware. Does adb work?

Unfortunately I was lazy and used Samsung Kies to access my SD cards instead of following his instructions to allow my PC to view them. Now using cm7 I don't get the usb utilities option he describes when I go under wireless and network settings.

USB works fine for me on cm7. Adb also. Although I know some people can't get it to work. The first time you plugged your phone in after flashing cm7 did you let all the drivers install when you plugged your phone in? It took my laptop like 10 minutes to find and install the drivers

To be fair it was connecting to Samsung Keis still but I assumed after five minutes it wasn't working. Maybe I needed to leave it for 10+ minutes connecting?

It worked once on my windows 7 machine. Doesn't work at all on Ubuntu.

Okay using the stock Android OS when I go into Wireless and Network settings there is an option for usb utilities that when I go into allows me to access the SD cards on my PC. Does this appear only if connected to a PC via usb? Because I recall looking in the same or similar settings option when running cm7 and not finding usb utilities.
SD card mounting works fine if you use Auto USB Mount from the Market.
Wifi explorer from marketplace works for me

Anytime I connect to my or any other computer it won't mount USB storage. It doesn't matter what rom I use. The only way i've been able to access my SD is to pull it from the phone. I tried using auto-mount from the market, and changing the settings in Connect to PC in the settings menu. I can't mount USB storage in recovery either. I searched the forums and didn't find an answer.
Likewise I'm currently having the same issue. Have you installed HTC drivers on your computer, or tried reinstalling them?
Try a different cable

It sounds like your port is going bad. This issue will eventually end up not being able to charge your phone. I had the same issue and had Verizon warranty replace it with a refurbished phone. First replacement had the same issue. Second one works like a charm.

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

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?

Are you just trying to transfer files cuz you don't need adb to transfer. Just mount your SD card, drag and drop.
Now if you are trying to push system files, then ok. To start, what Rom are you running? Also, you can do what I said above then use a root browser from the play store to move the files within.

the latest cm7 gb nitely and i updated my radio to 2.15.00.12.19 with
mason-Gd15r c4-sbc kernel i want abd so that when i download a new rom i can move it from the computer to the phone instead of downloading it str8t to the phone can you help me
First. it's ADB, not ABD.
Second, it's definitely that the phone's not going into Debug mode?? You have the path for ADB Set in your command line, the server starts, stops, etc?
Also, why can't you just connect the phone to your computer with the USB Cable, toggle USB Connect and have at it?
