I've ran into this problem before,just like many others probably have,try a few different things,like rebooting your pc,if that doesnt work,reboot your phone and wipe cache and delvik and reboot,then try it,if that doesnt work,go back into recovery and use the USB connect in there.Maybe even uninstall the HTC sync app,then try it.

I know this isn't very good news...but I just ran into a similar problem. It seems to be a design flaw in the OG EVO. If it can't be seen over adb (adb devices) then in all likelihood, the USB data connectivity is borked. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Good news? It's easy to swap out the mother board on an OG Evo and they're cheap on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=htc+evo+4g+motherboard&_sacat=0 or try to find one locally on craigslist. Just make sure it has a good ESN, and like I said it's a fairly easy replacement,

Just curious, I know on mine, with some ROMS, when I plug in or mount USB in recovery, I never get the pop-up to view files, but if I go to Windows Explorer, viola! I can access the SD Card just fine

Hmmm sounds like autoplay is turned off. Probably by some app on the pc. I can post a link on how to turn it back on if you want

That would be cool, just for the information, but when I flashed Lezo Rom, it fixed it. It was a big problem with ICS ROMs though

HEY thanks for the help, luckily this isnt a life or death issue,at least now i know the problem,thanks again!:fingers-crossed:

[Q] DInc external SD Card storage not accessible...any ideas?

Ok I am stumped...my wife just got the Droid Inc. a couple weeks ago and I pretty much immediately did the following:
Root it
Install SetCPU, used "Perflock Disabler" & setup profiles
Install "Autostarts" to disable some uneeded serivces & widgets at boot
...it wasn't until recently that I attempted to plug her phone into our computer (Win7 x64) so I could start to sync some pics, etc. to it. Unfortunately, whenever I plug it into the computer I get the "Do you want to install the VZW Drivers?" which seems to work. I see (2) additional removable drives show up however I just get the "Please insert a disk..." message.
Is there something I am not doing right? or is her phone borked?
I'm used to just plugging my DX into the computer and the SD card mounting itself without any problems.
I'm trying to get the OTA installed on her phone and keep root using the steps listed here (http://solo.dc3.com/dinc/) which I've seen posted on numerous Android forums sites.
Ideas? Help?
/bump
Anyone?
Try going into "computer" in the start menu on your computer and see if it lists the removable storage. If you still can't access them then you'll probably have to do a slow format on them. If that don't work then I would try plugging it into a different computer and if that don't work then I would re-flash the phone with the Verizon RUU from your computer. That's all I can come up with. If anybody else has any suggestions that would be cool.
You could also try pulling the card out and using an adapter to put it in your computer and see if it's the card itself. That's all I got.

I mentioned above that (2) removable drives show up when the phone is plugged in
I haven't tried plugging it into a physically different computer but I also did reboot over to Ubuntu 10.10 and I see 2 storage devices mount (labelled as "HTC Android Storage Device"...or something along those lines.) Unfortunately double-clicking them and right-click-> Open doesn't do produce any results either.
I'll give it a shot on our laptop (running XP) to see if that produces anything...but I'm doubtful.
I'm trying to avoid a RUU restore because I'm know she'll get annoyed...and I'm trying to avoid the wife's wrath & eye rolling
I'm fairly sure that the card is being read by the phone but then again I could be wrong...not sure if HTC Android phones save photos to the internal memory or not.
P.S. - In case some starts thinking overwise...I'm no computer n00b.
Plug it in, go to device manager, find the 2 things listed for the phone under disc drives. Right click them both and select update driver software. Then on the popup window select to search automatically.
That should work.

Funny...I almost did that yesterday but I was instead pointing the driver update to the HTC sync folder instead which wasn't working. Btw are you referring to letting it scan the computer for the drivers or doing a search online?

...and that didn't work either. All I get is a message saying that the best driver (Disk Drive) is already installed
I had the Android SDK installed as well (back when I rooted my DX) and made sure there were no remnants from Motorola or HTC...but no luck.
I'm stumped!
I'm going to try pulling out the SD card to see if that works...
Ok...so plugged the phone into our WinXP-based laptop with no previous drivers installed, (2) removable drives showed up but was unable to access the drives.
Attempted to update the "HTC Android Phone USB Device" entries in the Device Manager by having it look online...no dice.
The SD card appears to be ok though because I can read it just fine by pulling out the card, using an SD card adapter & popping it into the laptop...I can see all the cards contents without problem. I know that the phone sees the card properly too (obviously) b/c I can also access the SD card via Astro.
I'm not using the same USB cable every time either so I'm sure that isn't the issue either. I've used both my DX USB cable and the USB cable that came with the DInc.
Anyone else have any ideas?
This seems blatantly obvious, but I'm just gonna throw it out there because I haven't heard it mentioned. But by all the symptoms, it seems like the phone is mounted as charge only, not as a disk drive. Does it say it's mounted as a disk drive in the notification pulldown on the phone?
Come on now...give me some credit Of course I've checked that...I do have a rooted & custom ROM on my DX afterall.
I've also tried setting it to USB Debugging mode as well...no dice
Haha yeah I figured you checked it, but who knows. Brain farts are a common occurence these days. The symptoms just matched so well!
Anyways...I read this somewhere: Hit the Mobile Broadband Connect option and see if does anything. Also, another blatant one, restart both the phone and the computer. Also, make sure it's set to ask everytime you connect, and default to disk drive.
That's all I got tho...good luck sir.

I know figured people would think it would be as simple as that...but if it was that simple of a fix I would've figured it out by now
I tried the Mobile Broadband option and that doesn't do anything...no pop up or prompts. I've tried restarting both the PC and the phone almost every time and no luck and the phone was set to "disk drive" as well for most of my attempts. I've also had it on "ask" for some of the attempts as well.
I also noticed that when I plug in the phone sometimes and it prompts to install some software that it doesn't appear to do anything. All I get after the install is done (at least I think it's done) is show me a Windows Installer window with different commands for quiet installs, debug installs, etc. and then just an "ok" button.
Have you tried installing the newest HTC Sync to see it it would install or update the drivers? I've never been faced with a problem like this so I'm just trying to cover all bases.

Yup I've tried that too with v2.0 & the latest version (v3.0) and in both instances it shows "disconnected" even after a reboot of both the phone and the computer.
Here's one more thing, not sure if you've already checked into this...but is there any VCast crap installed on her phone? I just read on another forum that someone removed the VCast Media Manager with a similar prob and it fixed it. (you probably already read the same forum lol)

Why won't my phone go to USB storage mode anymore?

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?

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?

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

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.

[Q] USB Storage does not Work!

Hi,
I realized that attacking the USB cable from the PC to PHONE, I go in charge of the notifications but I do not have the ability to enable the USB storage ... Assuming that I do not see the device from device manager of Windows.
If I reboot the cell and put it in recovery from device manager I see ....
To me it seems a problem of ROM ...
According to you? is some setting?
I like the MIUI 2.10.26 ROM with the original kernel!
You know you help me?
Thanks to all

you can use the Samsung Galaxy Nexus Toolkit, to enable the storage problem?
If so, how can I do that?
I had a very similar problem. My phone was charging but would not connect to PC, I feared the worst after trying various ROMs/kernels and a couple of cables. What worked for me in the end was squeezing the mini USB gently with pliers plugged it back in and now it connects and charges.

[Q] USB and SD on Xperia Play not working

Hey whats up you guys!
I just bought a Xperia Play and a have a problem...
The SD was working fine, i had tested two of them. So i plug the phone on the computer to access the SD and surprise, surprise, nothing happened. I mean, the battery was recharging but the PC do not find the Phone/SD and the Phone do not recognize USB mode or something like that, it was just recharging. Then, from out of nothing, the phone stop recognizing the SD. When i try to mount it, it works for a couple of seconds and then the phone unmount the SD.
I have formated both SDs to Fat, Fat32 and NTFS but still dont work.
Any ideas about what is this?
Thank you very much!
Update: After several "factory reset", Xperia Play is mounting the SD card, but USB still doesn't work.
try this

I've tried in "USB Debug" but still doesnt work. And what drivers should i check for? I dont think the problem is in my PC cause i have tried in another one.
The thing is i bout this phone from a guy so it isnt new, but i dont think it was "modded" - at least doesnt seem like it was.
And lets say that i would have to reflash it, how would i do it without USB?
Thanks!
sounds like it might be broke

This will be a problem cause there is none Sony's authorized place and the others are not that good. I guess i will just return the phone :/
Anyways, thanks for your support!
Before you return it just download PC companion and install it then plug in the phone and see if it is recognized then and if not then yea probably hardware problem

yup pc companion worth a try
If that dont work try this. Power the phone off and hold the back button while connecting it if it does it would confirm its a software problem.
I had tried with PC Companion and it does not work either :/
So... I turned the phone off and connected it pressing the back button. Something different happened... The screen dont turn on. I mean, the light on the power button gets on but the screen do not. Anyways, the PC still dont recognize nothing.
As i said i have tested other cable and other PC but this other cable is from Lumia 710. Both are micro-USB but Lumia's dont have that thing near to the connections. I have also tested the Sony Ericsson's cable on Lumia and it works fine. But anyway, is there any chance of the problem be the cable? I have found a thread with a problem like this and the guy have tested other "working" cable and it still doesn't worked but when he tried a third cable it worked.
Its pretty weird that in whole internet there is so few problems like this lol
And again, thank you all for the support!
Edit:
I check out the "liveware" when i plug the phone into computer and it recognize as charger.
By the way, my device have Android 2.3.3. Shouldn't it have Android 2.3.4?
try doing this, mount the sd card. right click on my computer select > manage> choose storage>disk management. now look for your sd card space,(eg. if ur sd card is 8gb then look for a space or disk showing 7.45GB or whatever u card size is) right click and select change drive letters and path, now select add and assign a letter from the list for ur drive and now ur sd card must be visible.

I've tried in "USB Debug" but still doesnt work. And what drivers should i check for? I dont think the problem is in my PC cause i have tried in another one.
The thing is i bout this phone from a guy so it isnt new, but i dont think it was "modded" - at least doesnt seem like it was.
And lets say that i would have to reflash it, how would i do it without USB?
Thanks!

Have you tried accessing the connectivity settings on your phone maybe auto mount has been switched off so either turn it back on or click mount if not try media transfer mode. If none of these work there is a fault possible software or hardware. Also make sure liveware is not set to charge only when connected to the computer

Android 2.3.4 is the latest official release for the xperia play however both are just as good i think 2.3.4 had some memory optimizations made

You mean in "Sony Ericsson/connectivity"? If yes, there is no such thing of auto mount in my device. And about Liveware, i cant find this option of "charge only". I have tryed mtf mode, but doesn't work either.
Anyways, i dont think is a configuration problem cause i have wiped the phone several times.
About a "software problem", would be possible to fix it have said that the computer dont even know that the device was plugged in?
Thank you guys!
