Hi all,
Since yesterday I've been having problems with my G2 while using it as an mass-storage device. When it's plugged in and I select the mass-storage option on my phone it's getting in to mass-storage mode but a new drive icon doesn't pop up.
The only thing that DOES appear is Windows asking me if I want to search for firmware for my Android phone.
I do have ADB and HTC Sync installed, and I have been able to use my phone as a mass-storage device perfectly before the problem.
My device is rooted and runs CM Nighly 7.0 build 21.
Any tips? Thanks!

From what I understand, Gingerbread doesn't mount as a USB device on Windows yet. Unless you have a Linux box or a (eww) Mac, you'll have to make do.

This is not true I'm running CM7 nightly builds and have always been able to mount as a usb device on my Windows 7 64bit computer and my Windows xp laptop.

Yep, even tried different roms, but after a little while the same problem occurs. That's what I forgot to mention by the way: I have the same problem on different roms.
get an sd card reader or install a different rom
bump,i just started having the same issue. i used my usb cable from the g2 on a vibrant,and when i put it back onto my phone(g2),nothing shows up in the status bar at the top. before it'd ask to turn on storage,nothing shows up now, any advice would help. i also tried different ROMs and nothing works,rebooted it multiple times and that didn't help either. thanks
Evening everyone
Got a BIG problem with my phone today and having searched and read i still cant fix it
Ok a little about my phone: Rooted with amon recovery, recently s/off, CyanogenMod 7 rom and kernel, -32 radio..
Right here is the problem...
Did a nandroid backup in recovery of the rom i was using ^^ and all seemed fine, i then rebooted my phone,, booted up, waited for everything to work and then i noticed my apps weren't there?
Went into storage and it showed no memory card,, so i rebooted phone hoping this might fix but it didn't.
Plugged my phone into laptop and a message flashed up "usb device not recongnised" i though Sh!t whats happened ?
So i booted my phone into recovery to mount the sd and a message again "error cant mount sd"
Clicked reboot phone and now its stuck on the "why so serious" screen ???????
Ive dloaded the sdk tool but really not sure what i should be typing in there ??
Anyone with a little time care to help me out please lol ???
Cheers
EDIT: I have flashed nearly every rom on xda since i rooted about 4 months ago without any problems, always did the wipes in recovery before flashing so really dont know what has happened here ?
Try formatting SD card, if that doesn't work, reflash recovery

Looks like you have been usb bricked, look this forum for usb brick fix, its not the fault of the rom, it just sometimes happens. Got it once too, easely to fix.
Sent from my HTC Desire
Im not blaming the rom not one bit as its been running fine this morning up untill i did the backup.
I have read and read that much my heads spinning %-( there's hek of a lot to take in and being a rather noooooob im lost as to what i should do
Worstenbrood is right, that's.just a USB brick, don't worry, it's an easy fix. Search Modaco for USB rickrolled.
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/
You can skip step one.
Not to worry ? im bricking it lmao
I really aint got a clue about the fastboot thingy if you have a little time could you give me a step by step of how its done
cheers
Download the SDK and then use the command prompt to run the fastboot command from the Modaco tutorial.
There are quite a few guides for fastboot, just Google it
Hi
I just ran the command and when entered it said fastboot not found?
You need to run it from the directory containing fastboot.executive (in the SDK).
thanks for the replies
i have tried that but im getting 'adbwinapi.dll is missing from your computer'
i have re-installed sdk and still wont work?
Did you do this
Windows XP / Vista
Right click on the My Computer icon and select the properties tab.
Select the Advanced tab and click the Environment Variables button.
In the new dialog box dowble-click on Path (located under System Variables) and type in the full path location to the tools directory.
Has to be done for it to work
If you have never used sdk before Google for a good install & how to use guide
whooohoooo right solved the sd problem, new rom flashed and powered up Many Thanks guys "but" i still cant use the usb on laptop ?
When i plug usb in it the phone only charges ? and an usb not recognised message ?
did u install the htc drivers from the htc website? i was having problems with connecting my phone dowloaded those and un-installed sync and all was fixed!
i get 'usb not recognised message' every now and then on my home pc and the works pc both running Windows 7 64bit.
I found that usually when it pops up about
'usb not recognised message'
i just unplug the cable then back in a few seconds after the message then it usually connects ok. sometimes it takes a few attempts.
thats with 'HTC Wildfire_setup_3.0.5481' installed for the 64bit drivers.
Thanks very much guys for all your help managed to get the usb fixed by installing htc sync
But now i have another problem i noticed today is Bluetooth wont turn on ? is there a fix out there for this ?
cheers
Im experiencing strange reboots now with phone plugged into laptop via usb, and on the status bar on phone it show usb debugging and then dissapears and comes back and when i unplug usb the phone reboots?
I wiped the laptop yesterday and phone seemed fine and now the troubles have come back
In logcat error im also getting this message when i enable bluetooth
attempting to remove unknown iface (usb0), ignoring
bt_enable: Timeout waiting for HCI device to come up
Seems as if the brick has actually fooked my phone up good and proper !
Dezire z keeps askinf for MTP drivee?? i recently flashed mexdroid rom, and in the beginning none of the usbs would connect my phone. I thought it was a nightly issue as it was based off of a nightly but now its using RC1.
Recently i played around, it wouldnt connect with the "ADB or Android phone driver." I fixed that and those work fine in Device Manager in Windows 7. However!, in device manager it KEEPS asking for MTP. i tried uninstalling, updating, everything!! and it just wont find my htc desire z.
ADB can find it when using command prompt. It can even logcat, and its weird why ADB can see it but windows cant. I have posted a Download link to the Logcat file. Im hoping anyone here can help me.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21509455/logcat.txt
thanks
edit* i think i read somewhere Android doesnt use MTP drivers....-confused-
windows 7 can see my phone and lets me safely remove it too, but wont let me see it in my computer.
issues I was having with W7 x64 were resolved by PDANet. you might try it out, although your issue is slightly different than mine... the device was entirely unrecognizable (by adb, fastboot, the whole shebang).
edit: NOTE you don't need to actually use PDAnet, it will just locate an appropriate driver and install it for you, then you can uninstall it from your PC.. unless you want to use it, of course. pretty slick.

ive done this and it found the proper driver. "Android phone" BUT when it tries to connect with device, it says "failed to handshake with device" and proceeds to uninstall pdanet. Is it because its conflicting with windows 7 cant find the MTP driver?.... sooo confused.. never, ever had this problem
edit* after pdanet is uninstalled, the Android phone driver works fine, but MTP does not.

that's a bugger.
when you plug the phone in, in device manager, does it show as a USB mass storage device under the USB controller section? to check: unplug all usb devices (aside from input devices like keyboard/mouse/what-have-you). plug in your phone and go to device manager (right click my computer->manage->device manager). under USB controllers, check and see if there is a USB mass storage device. assuming you have disconnected any other storage media, this is your phone.
if it does:
uninstall this driver, unplug your phone, restart, plug your phone back in.
if it doesn't:
my next step (take it for what it's worth - I'm sure there's an easier way) would be to unplug all usb devices (including keyboard/mouse - anything USB related), uninstall EVERYTHING under the USB Controller submenu, then restart and plug the phone in.
W7 should automatically recognize and reinstall the USB host controllers and hubs.
edit: are you using any other USB storage devices? thumb drives, ext harddrives, etc? do they work?

Under the usb section in device manager, i have about 8 or so usb controllers and stuff. Im using a Gateway Laptop and only one thing is using a usb port--- the mouse. Thats all. So i dont really have a clue which one is my htc phone because when plugging it in and going into device manager the only devices i remember using the phone were adb, android phone, and Now MTP. If i could pinpoint which usb controller is using my phone ill uninstall it. Other than that, what else is there? This is the strangest problem ever

Have you tried the drivers from the official HTC Sync software? Also, are you actually trying to use the phone as an MTP device or as a USB mass storage device? I don't think you can use both at the same time (though I don't use this ROM so maybe things have changed). If you don't actually want the MTP functionality, I wouldn't worry about it.
Also, I noticed the notes for the ROM says "USB mounting is not working on a Windows OS computer" is a known issue. Not sure if that could be related...

windows 7 home doesnt have that script gpedit.msc
i looked all over google and it doesnt work . only pro and business versions have it.
Did the HTC Sync software not work? Also, have you tried formatting your SD card? Might be a long shot, but if it was ever used in MTP mode at one point, maybe your comp is detecting the files and thinking it's still an MTP device. Not sure if it works that way though...
Did you ever set the phone to MTP mode in the past? Like if you were ever on a Sense-based ROM. Maybe if you had it in MTP mode prior to flashing the new ROM, it stayed in it. Once again, no clue if it works that way since I've never used MTP on this phone before, but might be worth trying if you are out of options.
STILL havent fixed this MTP driver issue, have tried everything including the post above me!....NOTHING IS WORKING. why is it being recognised as mtp, when all i need is use the sd card.
this has been up for a week, seriously no one knows how to fix it?

I'm guessing it's because no one else has encountered this problem before...
So what happened when you flashed back to a Sense-based ROM? I've never used one, but I thought when you connect the phone via USB, you have to choose what kind of connection you want (e.g., HTC Sync connection vs Disk Drive). Are you saying even when you choose to connect as a drive, the phone still shows up only as an MTP device (which I'm assuming is what is used when in HTC Sync mode)?

i switched to MIUI rom where i can mount sd card, and it still shows up as MTP in device manager on windows. Its not a rom issue, its a issue with WINDOWS seeing my device as a MTP and not STorage ....stupid windows 7.

Well either Windows sees your phone as an MTP device or the phone is actually reporting itself as an MTP device (not sure how it works on phones, but typically Windows communicates with firmware on a USB device to determine its classifications).
I'm guessing you already tried this since it's one of the only threads on the G2 forum when I did a search for MTP...

I recently updated my kindle with the AOSP 4.2.2 rom found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2041694
it works perfectly and smooth, but the device no longer shows up as mass storage when plugged into my pc. I looked through all the settings and enabled the developers menu, but I still do not see an option to turn on mass storage. USB debugging is activated when its plugged in but there is no option to turn storage on. Does anyone else have the same rom/problem. I am unable to post in the developers section so Im hoping I can get more info here. I would hate to have to install a different rom.

Hmm......I know from personal experience (happened yesterday) that the USB cord might be at fault but that's one of many possibilities. I experienced the same problem, switched cords and it connected after I used a different cord.
Have you tried to connect in TWRP?
BTW.....what operating system is your PC running?

I did not try a different cable. I put my old rom (AOKP 4.1) back on and USB storage worked again, but disappeared once I put the 4.2.2 rom back. It always worked flawlessly with the old rom. The computer I tried this on is running Linux Mint 14.

If you looked for this feature in Developer options, then I would say 99% you were looking at the wrong place.
Get into Storage -> Menu and turn on the UMS from there.

I looked in all the standard menus before enabling the developers options. Seeing now, that Im not the only one, Im assuming it might not be enabled in the rom.
I just had to flash my kindle back to stock so I can exchange it, but ill take another look at it when I get my new one.

This didn't work when I tried it, but I did find the answer. Under setting> Storage, I had to pull up the additional menu in the top right corner and enable mass storage. In previous ROM's I used it was in plain sight under the storage menu. Thanks for the reply.
Hi,
I had a running N2AOS with CM12 install, then did a return2stock but something went wrong
I have orange/blue boot sequence and can get into TWRP without a problem, can boot into fastboot etc. from TWRP. Battery is 100% - ok, too
But system seems empty now. Maybe wiped wrong. I see a lot of empty folders incl. sdcard etc. I've basic ux knowledge - can use TWRP terminal or file manager.
Is there a chance pulling a rom in the twrp using the usb? On win 8.1 I can delete the adb/amazon drivers. then it gets recognized as "Kindle" or "Tate", but can't connect.
My primary system is macOS Sierra, but have a running windows 8.1/ubuntu laptop with usb 2/3.
I think I'm equipped perfectly and the KF7HD2 is not hard bricked, but leaking adb/kindle knowledge. and the most trys end up with "< waiting for device >"
update: when I try TWRP > mount (anything) it gets recognized by win 81 or ubuntu for a short time, but I can't read or write a thing
maybe someone could help?! I read and tried as much as possible, but don't want to kill my old kindle because my girlfriend wants to read with it
thank you very much!
best
tom
addition: can I connect via twrp console and usb or wifi to a local ip or sth to use ftpget
really nobody an idea?
