When i connect HTC Desire to PC and press "Turn on USB storage" on the phone, screen flashes a few times and presents the same screen again (it doesn't switch to "Turn off USB storage") - i can't access my memory card when running ROM.
I can access all my memory card data if i use memory card reader or when in ROM, using any file explorer app. Also, i have no trouble accessing my phone via USB when in HBOOT or FASTBOOT.
Please help.
Additional phone info:
ClockWork Mod v4.0.1.4
Alpharev "Bravo CM7 r2" HBOOT
Memory card is formated: 7GB FAT32, 1GB ext3
So far i tried:
flashing few different ROMs (Oxygen, GingerVillan, F1)
formating the memory card using ClockWork Mod
and that didn't solve my problem.
EDIT:
I tried to connect the phone to another PC and it worked without a problem, so it must be something with USB drivers on my original PC. Anyone has an idea what to (un)install?
its is something to do with the permissions when the phone is in usb mode the phone cannot write to the sd card and so must be r/o and when u eject the phone from the computer the permissions of the sd card may not have been changed back to r.w ..
so to fix it just boot into recovery and do the fix permissions option in advanced menu
recall having a similar experience with my desire, I managed to copy my data(with show hidden files enabled in the windows folder options) from the SD Card and then format the card, then re-copy it back to the SD card.
Solved the problem for me.

Thanks for trying guys but none of the suggestions worked. It is definitely something with drivers on my PC, because on my laptop it works without any problems. So problem is not in the phone or memory card, but PC drivers. The thing is, i don't know which drivers i need to re-install.
Tried with the only one i see in Device Manager - "Android USB Devices - My HTC" but it didn't do the job. It re-installed fine, but there must be some other USB driver i'm missing to fix.
Try these here - http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
Look for - Windows users, please download and install these HTC fastboot drivers.
Sad to say but that didn't help either. I have a problem accessing memory card content when connecting to PC while ROM is running (tired several ROMs so it's not a ROM issue), when i'm connecting the phone to PC while in fastboot it works just fine.

I upgraded from Oxygen RC6 to RC7, in between, I performed s-off, flashed the oxygen hboot table, resized the sd card with gparted and then formatted card. I then did a full wipe and installed RC7.
However, I can no longer see the SD card as being mounted once I boot up the desire, if I go to recovery>advanced>usb i'm able to see the the card fine and i'm able to install stuff via recovery but it seems as though the card isn't being mounted once it boots.
Also, when I connect via usb it starts charging instead of coming up with the sd card files. Tried turning usb debugging on/off but that doesn't help.
Any ideas how to rectify this?
edit: tried a different micro sd card and it's doing the same thing
Could be an issue with the ROM. You could try another 2.3 ROM.
Does your PC recognize your phone? You might a have a usb brick and have to flash the modified misc partition. Search ad usb brick modaco.
Sent from my LeeDroided Desire HD
managed to sort it in the end, formatted the card in recovery then plugged it in and it came up with a dialog box in windows saying format the card (again), after which it started detecting the card again.
At least that's what I think it was anyway
in settings/sd card&phone storage, i can see SD card
Total space
Unavailable
Available space
Unavailable
Mount SD card
Insert an SD card for mounting
Erase SD card
Erases all date on the phone's SD card, such as music and photos
The last two items (Mount SD card and Erase SD card) are grayed out.
Have formatted the card several times to fat32 through computer, where it works, using a memory card reader. But for example, the music widget doesnt say "please insert sd card", instead "no music found...." and when i go to the application then it says insert sd card, but not the widget. Also LeeDROID POST screen when vbooting states: "Detecting phone storage:microSD"
Has any1 had similar problem? Is there something i can try or is the card irreversably corrupted?
Try to use recovery from my signature, and repartition it. (using recovery)
can´t flash it. only oneclick method would be possible, but your intructions there are confusing start runme.cmd what does that mean?
It's in the .zip file, double click it...
when i click on the .img file, powerarchiver opens. and the recovery is still the same
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=661320&stc=1&d=1311252283
Download and extract on your pc to flash while your phone is fully booted (not in recovery).
usb debugging must be on (settings/applications/development)
unzip the file
If you are on Windows: start runme.cmd // Unixfreaks start runme.sh
finished
adb server is out of date, it says. then goes into a loop
seems like i downloaded something else earlier.
It doesnt find some data/local/tmp/flash_image etc files. Plus it always complaints that adb server is out of date
I'm out of ideas sorry.

Make sure you installed android sdk correctly:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
Then turn off your phone and start it with pressed back button.
Open cmd and navigate to your android sdk folder.
Connect your phone to your computer.
In cmd enter:
Code:
fastboot devices
to make sort fastboot recognizes your phone.
If so, enter
Code:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
Now your sd card should be recognized again.
Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
Have tried it several times. fastboot devices shows my device, but the command afterwardsgives me an bootloader command error
Amphor, why did you start a new thread on this same issue? I've given you 3 fixes for your problem...
The problem turned out to be something different from why started the first thread? Didn't it?
Does your PC see your card??
How did you fix your 1st problem btw?
Because i see your still getting bootloader errors ... the same errors you were getting in your last thread!?
The errors are the same but the problem is slighlty more accurate, i feel.
Computer recognizes the card both through card reader and through recovery "Mount USB storage"
Something problem with Android, because i tried it into an old LG with LG's own operating system and there i could view the contents of the card, for example. I had nothing on the card at that time so i couldn't test music playing, for example
Formatted i n FAT32 and i believe it's the only option

Is it fixed now?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
It's not, i was just saying that the card is formatted in FAT32 and said that it's the only file system possible, i think
gparted looks like this

edit: formatted as i always did in FAT32 and the problem disappeared. I guess that's one of those problems that solves itself

I told you to do that in the last thread its always good to start fresh if you can when you have problems ... At least you learnt something .. so is everything fixed?
What SD Card are you using?
size? class?
I had the same problem once.
Need a way to access internal memory so I can fix my usb or sd card see following for information:
Short Version:
USB wont work and SD card wont work so I cannot use the following method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
Long Version:
So right after i had backed up my rom i did a wipe, then the phone stopped recognizing my sd card. I took it to Sprint they couldn't figure it out, so i was stuck in Bootloader. yesterday i did a hard reset and wa-la i can now use my phone ...sorta. It will turn on I can access everything, but it freezes up and shuts off after 40 seconds (i got it to stay for 2mins one time) also it still will not recognize my sd card. I tried other cards still no luck and I know my card works because I can use it in my laptop. So i did a little searching on xda and found a fix, but i cant do the fix unless i plug my phone into the laptop and run a cmd prompt well now here is the other problem my computer sees the phone (listed as My HTC) but my phone wont recognize that it is plugged in. It will charge when it is shut off thats about it. Well back to xda and there is a fix for the usb, but.... I need my phone to recognize my sd card because the files will be on it. In short to fix my sd card i need usb and to fix the usb i need my card I am stuck in a horrible loop, so what I need is a way to access my phones internal memory so I can install the usb files on it so that i can fix usb then my card, then recover my rom.
Thanks to wall who help or at least try
Im not totally sure if this will help, but i know you can mount the sd card as usb storage in Amon_Ra and also in settings under "storage" or so i believe there are settings for mounting and unmounting the Micro Sdcard check those, it should be mounted in the settings for your phone to see it. hope i helped
I just had this exact same problem. Nandroid, wipe, flash, then stuck in bootloader spent two days trying fixes, unroot, root, and,had to turn it in. Luckily best buy has an awesome warranty.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
thanks all... ended up replacing my phone, but if anyone ever finds a way to fix it let me know! Thanks again
I was really hoping that this thread would not dead-end. I've got what sounds like a similar issue...in addition to not being able to reformat my SD card (in Windows or in Android) due to it being detected as write-protected, but it's not write protected.
I'm really anxious to try the aforementioned thread to fix USB and SD, but I can't detect, mount, or format my SD card. Am I screwed?
*EDIT* Fixed the write-protection issue...working on the rest now.
*EDIT* Still can't format card through Android. Is there an ADB or fastboot command to format the SD card?
Hi. I have a Samsung galaxy S i9000 running a Jellybean 4.1 custom ROM. androidadvices. com/ update-galaxy-gt-i9000-stable-jellybean-411-firmware/#.UDJOV91mT9d
Everything's working fine until today when my laptop (Win7 OS) froze up while I was formatting the internal sd card of my phone.I restarted the laptop and phone and the internal sd card cannot be detected by either device anymore.
I tried to format the sd card multiple times to no avail. I tried to flash stock GB ROM. ODIN can detect the phone but cannot complete the process. It fails on "Setting Up Connection".
Up to the above process I was able to use my phone (it turns itself on, just can't use internal sd card). However, I made a stupid mistake of doing factory reset, cache wipe, and dalvik cache to reflash the JB ROM in hopes that it will fix it. Now, my phone is stuck on the Welcome screen (one with Choose Language and Start to setup) but the touchscreen isn't working so I can't select Start. The buttons on either side of the center button works, though. Only the touchscreen function is not working.
Now obviously, USB Debugging is not set up on my phone so I can't do a lot. My first question is: Is there a way to setup USB Debugging using ADB or from Recovery?
Additional info:
Recovery and Download mode are both working, although like I mentioned above, I cant reflash stock ROM because of no usb debugging and it fails in Odin. File Manager can be accessed from Recovery but it has no internal sd card directory. External sd card is ok, though, as well as the system files. But cannot install from internal sd card (obviously), cannot format sdcard, or do anything that has something to do with sdcard. It gives an error "E:\ can't mount sdcard"
When I connect the phone to the computer via USB, the phone "knows" that it is connected because the notification beep sounds and on Computer, it shows a new drive name (F but it says "Please Insert a disk into Removable Disk F.", which I believe, means it can detect it but cannot mount the storage.
I can also use adb.
So my questions are:
-How do I get the touchscreen functionality back?
-How can I enable my internal sd card to be mounted on the phone again?
-(same as above) How do I enable USB Debugging from adb or recovery?
I know I have a lot of issues on my phone but I would really appreciate it if you can help me. Thank you.
Did you find a solution?

Try using one of these softwares:
http://lifehacker.com/5237503/five-best-free-data-recovery-tools
Good luck...
i have try the software u said.
but the problem is they dont detect the internal memory of the HOX.
after uptade to jelly bean when i plug the usb cable dont appear like in ICS for choose to charge or to hard disk.
so how to solve this?
thx regards
did you looked on pc also...? it can also be that you must update htc sync because of the mtb thingy.....second should be look for an sd speed app..and set it to 128 instead of most 2048.....
if that also fail...the data should be gone...maybe a wipe script that also wiped sd card or something like this
go into recovery and mount usb storage
hi
i have try go to recovery with clockworkmod and if i try to mout sd card nothing happen.
i choose mount sd card and then i reboot the phone and apears unmout again.
and in the phone if i go to settings and storage on the bottom said USB Storage device is not available.

what version of cwm...htc sync updated..?
yes htc sync is updated and the cwm is 5.8.4.0.
thx
so from that side all ok...if you are in a file explorer...and go to sd..you see something...? if yes..try to mount from clockwork...if not work...try to copy the files with adb
Tough luck brother, if all else fails then deal with it. Many, including me, have faced the same. Good luck to you.
When you mount the USB mass storage in recovery you have to stay on that screen or it will auto-unmount. Once you've done that load up Recuva from Piriform and scan for the phones storage on the pc.
