[Q] Computer not seeing SD. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Ive had the problem for a while, but didnt care but now i want to upload some new music... lol.
None of my computers (ive tried 4 different ones, 2 of which ive used to drop music on to the phone before) and none of them see the phone when i plug it in. I can make them see the SD card though in CWM recovery, but never the internal SD.
Anyone know how i can fix this?
Im running AOKP-40. Before i was on CM9. So its not the rom...

Maybe your sd is bad/corrupt did you try a format?

Cant be, it reads music and pictures off the SD just fine, the computer just isnt seeing it.
I just read another thread, and none of the solutions presented worked...

this just happened to me
weird tho, phone sees it, everything works, but not on pc
edit: I did a darkside cache wipe, and its back on, everthing is normal now
try it brosef

Tried it. No worky still. :/

Make sure you have the latest version of Samsung Kies installed and most importantly the required drivers should be installed.
Or
Go to Settings-Wireless and Network-USB utilities- (press the connect and plug ur phone to pc with the data cable)- then click "Connect USB mass storage.
It will be connected and Removable storage would be shown.

Cooked Rom With Internal Memory Fix?

does anyone know of a cooked rom with the internal memory fix. i have a touch diamond 3g. Thanks
Care to elaborate?
well the phone itself works fine but i tried to put music on it via WMDC and it deleted or corrupted the internal memory which the phone cannot find it says internal storage not installed. any roms with a fix for this problem?
Have you tried connecting the phone to a windows PC to see if you can see the internal storage that way?
You don't give us much to go on, to try and help you. The more info about your phone and what you did / have done would be good.
Ok this is everything.i have a HTC Touch Diamond 3G. I added music via WMDC and it did. i then went onto my phone and saw that none of the files were there. i then went to Settings-Memory and saw that it said that no storage card was installed. i tried about 40 times to try and get it to connect via Disk Drive and it never showed up. so then i did a soft reset and hard reset and still nothing. i then went online and saw that this guy had cooked the Internal memory hotfix priovided by HTC into a rom but when i tried to download the hotfix it it said that it is not compatible with my device. i then came here and noticed that you can cook hotfixes to the roms and im looking for one. thats about it. Any ideas on how i can get the memory back?
It could just be me, but I dont fully understand Sorry!
Did you know that when you connect your phone to your PC, that you have the option to have "faster file transfer" ? When you select this option, it disables the phone from accessing the internal storage. Try disconnecting your phone from your pc then try again!
i know it wont display it on the device but it should display it on the PC and it doesn't.

[Q] Help with SD card prob...

Ok, so I have the stock SD card and lately it's been acting up. I went from Vaelpak to CM7RC2 and it took me a while to get the phone to actually recognize the card... Anytime I use a Sense ROM I never have problems with the card being read/recognized by the phone or my PC
So I'm back on RC2 and the phone reads the card just fine but the computer doesnt recognize it "kinda"..
When I plug the phone in via USB to the PC it usually pops up with a window with several options on how to view the contents of the SD card... No such window pops up and the SD card doesnt register in the Drive slot.. it just doesnt show up at all, like there's nothing in that Drive...
But, I can pull up Windows Media Player and look at some of the files on the SD card... So I'm confused, the computer can see some of the information but I can't read the whole thing...
I've tried USB debuggin on/off, mounting as disk drive and not, mounting/unmounting SD card, etc...
Any ideas? -- should I just get a new card or is there something else I can try?
You can copy the contents to the pc, then reformat it, then copy back...

Deleting the LOST_DIR folder has been known to solve the problem with CM7 and SD cards. Having said that, you need to be aware of the recent growing numbers of people boinking their EVOs. All of them were using CM7 and everything had been working as it should. All of a sudden, their device rebooted and have not been able to get into theory homescreen or into recovery. Read the posts the last few days and you will find many instances. I'm just alerting you to what has been happening. That's all so be careful.

I dont guess I explained myself very good... I can't copy anything to the PC if the PC wont recognize that there's a card there.. The PC just sits there and I've looked all over the place but the PC doesnt think there's anything put into the drive

I hadn't seen anything about the "boinking"... can you direct me to a thread? The CM7 RC2 thread or what?.. Not even knowing about those instances I was already thinkin about abandoning CM for now.. I've tried CM6 and several versions of CM7 but there's always something that just doesnt work right.. GPS, the SD card, facebook syncing, etc.. Looking at your Sig I'm thinkin I might try Warm again, it's been a while but I liked it alot... Thanks for the heads up

Yeah, that sucks... I was already about to give up on CM7 for now and that's just enough to push me back to Sense.. thanks
WOW! I'm glad I went back to Sense when I did.
Bricking my phone would end me!

[Q] USB Mounting

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!

Connect to pc cant see sd disk

Today I started to cleanup old folders from my SD card and I might have gotten a little carried away (since emptied trash on pc). Most of them were empty from old aps etc but since then I am unable to get my phone to connect to any pc. I'm not even sure those files or whatever would be on my sd card so I may not have deleted them to begin with. Yes, I have usb debugging enabled and all that stuff and I do get a notification but no options to choose anything with my ROM (SkyRaider 4.3). The phone charges, SD card is recognized by phone and can explore etc with root explorer, mounted, remounted, did a nandroid from a few weeks ago, different pc's and usb ports and still I do not get anything on the phone for an option to charge only mount as disk etc. I have tried everything I can think of. Is it possible I deleted some files that are necessary to do this or could it be something else?
Go into settings > pc connect and check ask me
I had this problem for a while. But it was hardware related (dropped it in the bathtub, yeah ...) but after I dropped it off the roof of my truck onto the asphalt, it started working again. But deleting stuff on the SD card shouldn't effect it at all. Just to make sure, can you mount it in recovery? Assuming your rooted that is.

Not caused by changes on phone
Nope it's something else. I've noticed the same issue with mine. I have over 300 photos on the SD card and wanted to move them over to my computer but it's not being recognized. It could be a Windows update to your computer that is causing it. I'm going to troubleshoot it when I get a moment. I've been playing around with my Streak 7 that I just got and haven't given it a thought.
Thanks all for the replies but I got it working. I didnt do anything special to get the option to mount as a disk drive I just kept trying different things. Strange thing is is that it wasnt working on 3 computers and then all of a sudden it just worked on all of them. I tried so many things so many times dont know what the deal was or is...
Connect to PC options in Settings
I took a look at mine this morning and I simply went into Settings, Connect to PC, and changed the Default connection type to Disk drive. I had to clean out my SD card; I had way too many pictures on it and hate scrolling through them.
You can also check the Ask me option too. I simply change the connection type and I have access to the drive.

[Q] internel sd card unmounted yet apps work fine

So been trying to work out this issue for past couple of days now. Galaxy W (obviously) PACman rom.
Updated to the latest version of rom, all fine but didn't go pristine. Eventually had some issues, biggest of which being I couldn't access internal SD card as storage, yet all my apps were working fine. So, tried again, went pristine, all fine for about a day, no issues whatsoever .... until dreaded internal sd unmounted. Tried again, pristine, double formatting everything and double clearing cache etc. No problems. Updated kernel to skull kernal to fix the bluetooth. No problems.
And now again, it's happened. I've tried to keep a mental correlation in what I'm doing to hopefully give me an idea of what's going on but not having much luck; hoping someone here knows what this issue is as it's driving me mad
I've changed my name in Google; could it be some sort of permissions thing?
USB; phone set to Media player, it might be it's happening after I've transferred but since everything is working fine, it's hard to tell
I've not restored anything, gone completly pristine (took hours) in an attempt to retrace my steps and not get this issue again. Part of me thinks I may as well just leave it as everything works, I can even install fine. But I can't browse it via any file manager or via USB, and a couple of programs I use (CoPilot for one) won't start properly because there is no SD card mounted.
Things I've tried -
CWM, fix permissions
Reboot
Checked Storage under settings, I can see how much free space there is etc.
Enabled and Disabled USB Debugging and tried to see it on my PC (nothing, external shows up fine)
Anything else anyone can think of before I wipe the lot and try again for a 4th time?

*sigh*
No idea why it's doing it, but yeah, seems to be the USB transfer. Problem solved.
So changed USB from Media Player to MTP and back again while connected to PC, internal storage now available.
Always the way, struggled with it for a few days, finally decide to post for help, and I solve it in less than 10 minutes of making the post :silly:
Knowing my luck, it's a known bug I've somehow glossed over in all information!
Edit - spoke too soon
After a reboot, same again. Everything "works", I can install and uninstall, but I can't browse the internal sdcard0 with a file manager or via PC. The above trick isn't working now.

Just thought I'd give it one last bump. Situation is that after every reboot, my internal sdcard is not mounted. I have to connect the phone to a PC via USB, then disconnect and hope that the phone mounts both sdcards. Usually works first time but sometimes I have to connect - disconnect 2-3 times before the internal card is mounted.
Anyone happen to know how to mount the internal card via command line? I could then workaround it with a script via smanager.
