Ever since I loaded Skyraider 4 on my Dinc when I plug my phone into my computer via data cable it will not let me use mass storage mode. I have my phone set to "disk drive" as default and to ask me every time it's plugged it but it does not ask me anything when it is plugged into a computer now since Skyraider. The computer sees 2 drives when I plug the phone in but when I try to access them it says "please insert disk into drive G:". No matter what I do to the "connect to PC" settings i cannot get it to access my internal and SD memory through my computer. Is this a known issue with skyraider?
Meh, looks like I'm going back to stock UI. I can't find anything about this issue and I can't be having a phone that is inaccessible to a computer. I'll bet the issue stems from skyraider's change to the plug/unplug profile that makes the phone stay off when plugged and unplugged from a power source.
I bet you just had a bad flash. Wipe everything, and then wipe some more. Be sure to format /system too. Then flash skyraider, and when it rebooted, without any of yyour apps installed, plug it into your computer and see what happens

Turn off USB Debugging.

I have rooted several times in the past. I believe I know what I am doing. Now that I have this ROM installed, when I plug my Evo into the usb, it does not even prompt me for connection type, such as internet sharing, mount disk etc. I try toggling usb debugging, still no go. What should I do? As of now I can not access my SD card because USB does not work, even tho the LED comes on as if it is charging.
This might help

I did the SD card thing. Didn't change anything. Can't do Fix USB because I can't access my SD card.
What rom are you using? Was it working previously? I'd try a restore from the last time you knew it was working.
Edit: can your computer read the Sd card if you put in a reader?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702374
how would I do a restore? Also, I don't have a microSD card reader but I guess I will get one.
Any more ideas broskis? Sucks not being able to flash more roms. The "Choose a connection" box doesn't even pop up when plugged in via usb.
I got this a couple times today. Dunno what's up. Maybe an apk that was removed? Mine doesn't even want to charge anymore. 0.0 phone will charge for a second then nothing. Only have 40% life left.... ((
EVO disk drive confusion....
Hey guys, really new to the technical aspects of the android scene.... looking for some help....
I have an EVO 4g that WILL NOT mount as disk drive, on either of my 2 WIN 7 computers; it will charge, and the physical connection doesn't appear to be lose or damaged, as it connects to charge without problems. This is rooted w/ unrEVOked 3. Computer doesn't recognize it at all, either debugging off or on, with my default choice being 'mount as disk drive' and 'ask me every time' chosen.
It is not the USB port on the computer nor the cable, because another EVO, although newer, same setup, connected in the same way works just fine....
I have no issues with the phone reading the SD Card app2SD programs that I have on it... I have tried removing the SD card and battery and reseating them with nothing changing.... I rarely connect to the computer..... but I have almost the same set up on both phones as far as programs, ROOT method, etc.....
What should I look for that causes the computer not to recognize this one???
Any and all help would be appreciated, and I would be HAPPY to donate to any of you DEVS that can help me find and fix this!!!!!
THANKS!!!

Alright, pretty much exactly as the title says!
Running a rooted version of the OTA stock ROM, netarchy 3.7.3c kernel, Amon Ra recovery.
If I connect my phone via USB, it'll show up in My Computer, that's fine. When I go to the notifications tray and change the USB setting from Charge Only to Disk Drive... Nothing happens on my computer. Sometimes rebooting my computer helps, sometimes rebooting my phone helps, but as-is, I have about a 10% chance of the card actually switching to USB mass storage mode. According to the phone, it's in Disk drive mode, and is unable to access the SD card at all (which is normal of course).
I've used Advanced Task Killer to knock off any apps which are running at the time besides some bare essentials and ones that couldn't interfere (like my live wallpaper), but that has not helped.
Ideas?
For some reason, my phone will not give me the option to mount my SD card as a disk drive all of a sudden...
I'm using CM 7.0.2.1 with Tiamat 3.3.8 as my kernel. Anyone know how I might be able to fix it?? I'm trying to put KingdomRom on it but can't because I can't mount .
I've also tried a full wipe and reinstalling the ROM with a different kernel...and I'm still not getting anything. I've tried multiple USB cords as well.
I would try unmounting your SD card in Settings then reboot the phone.
Didn't work . I thought originally it might have something to do with the kernel, but I've changed to a different one and it still isn't working.
When you connect your phone to the computer, does the charging light come on? What happens when you tap the notification that says your phone is connected to the computer? Do you get the screen with the option to mount and it doesn't, or do you not get the notification at all?
Have you tried using something like Widgetsoid to toggle usb mount? I had a similar problem on Sense and using a widget to toggle mounting the phone as disk drive was the only way I could get it to work.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
Also, what recovery are you using?
Sent from my sometimes infected,MIUI,Kings UNleashed Ultra Supersonic EVO...
Using ClockworkMod. I just stupidly reformatted my SD card after reflashing my ROM, so now once I am able to redownload GApps, I'm gonna download one of the widgets (might try AutoSync, too) and see if I can make progress in the morning.
Update: Got Market back on, downloaded Widgetsoid, enabled USB Mount...and still nothing. I've tried on 2 computers now with different USB cables and nothing.
Is it saying that your phone is connected to your PC at all? It could be your USB port, or your cable is going bad. Try plugging it in to the computer and jiggling the plug near the phone's usb port and see if it tries to connect. If it does, you may have to move it around until you get it to connect and then be very careful not to move anything while transferring files. Also if you have wifi you can transfer files by using an app from the market called wifi file explorer. They have a free and a paid version. Does you phone connect when you mount it to the computer in recovery mode? Does the charging light come on when you plug it in to your computer? Really more info is needed to diagnose your problem. There are also widgets in the market that will allow you to mount the phones storage without unmounting the card from the phone. Maybe this will work for you. Maybe the card is going bad? Who knows, but hopefully some of my suggestions help. If all else fails, you could always do it the old fashioned way and power the phone off, take the card out and plug it directly into your computer via the adapter if needed.
Yes, I do receive a charge light when I plug it into the computers USB. Android just does not provide the option to mount as a disk drive.
I like the Wifi File Explorer Idea. It sounds like a good alternative. Thanks so much to everyone for their suggestions!
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.

This morning i was transfering data between my laptop and my phone. When i was done I clicked to remove the drive from the computer and unplugged the usb cable from the phone. Later I went to hook it back up and a strange thing is happening. When I plug the phone in it gives me the option to tether,mass storage or charge, like it always does. When I hit mass storage and then press connect it won't. The wierd thing is that my computer shows a removable mass disk drive, its like it knows it is there.It is just waiting for the phone to connect. When i double click it in my computer it says connect the drive, or something like that. I have tried powering off my phone and battery pull but that did not help. I does this on my laptop and my desktop so I know it is not the computers. Anyone have any clues.
Try to go into settings then storage click unmount let it do its thing then click remount. Also can you see the drive in file explorer?
I can see it in my computer as disk f. File explorer never pops up.
File explorer on the phone.

This same damn thing happened to me after Odin. I couldn't root my phone for the life of me. I ended up Odining (is that a word?) EH06 that includes root,Busybox, etc. Then did nandroid restore, then rfs to EXT4 zip. Uugh, what a PITA. Still haven't fixed mine
