[Q] No disk drive access possible on pc in JB? - HTC One X

I updated to official JB and now on connecting to pc via usb it doesn't show the same notification window as ICS.
There is no option as Charge Only or Disk Drive..
Is this normal, how to allow disk drive access in this case.

You can automatically access the phone storage on both sides (pc and from phone) at the same time. AKA mtp usb storage.

Even i have the same problem. Even if we are able to access the sd card from both sides, the sd card isnt being shown on the pc. I installed htc sync manager, but that just shows your media files, not your other data. Please help out fast!

Ums made place for mtp. You can mount your sd card in recovery

Check "my computer" for media devices, your one x should be there.

Some taiwanese pioneers report that it requires something from windows media player 11 too. Make sure you have these two software installed.
Alternatively, you can use newer windows to obtain simplify this problem.

I know about that.. When u connect the cell HTC Sync Manager Setup requires WMP 11 or above. I already hav 11.
Need some thing else, i have tried everything, I dont understand how can a Driver file b missing when i have run HTC Driver Installer and have downloaded the HSM setup file from HTC.com straight that too twice..
Initially the setup showed some other files missing like MS VC Redist 2005 etc, so i got them one after one then it stopped at this error...
All I wanted was to enjoy my JB but it a nightmare nw..

Remove all htc drivers.
Install the latest one from htc.
Reboot your computer
Connect the phone and let the drivers get installed.
I hope it works.

How can i remove all htc drivers, i know the device manager approach. But read sumwhere that these drivers are some times stored in system and same reverts when u connect the device..?

They have done away with usb mass storage in JB and gone to MTP storage. A decent work around is to mount with CWM recovery or TWRP recovery
Also this has been discussed before mate

Need help...disk drive mount not recognized by compter

Have already reinstalled htcsync. Computer recognizes HTC sync. When mounted as a disc drive the computer recognizes it as a drive, but when clicked it does not recognize the device or the SD card with information on it. was previously working with no problems. I have no clue on how to fix the problem. Is there any setting I could have changed by accident? My phone is rooted.

Had this problem a while back. Had to uninstall HTC sync, uninstalled all HTC and Android drivers, using a program called usbdeview. Unplugged phone from usb and Rebooted my pc. Reinstalled sync and everything worked fine. As a note I've also had problems with HTC supplied usb cables and my firewall from keeping my phone from transferring files.

Thanks for the reply! Did what you said, and it did not work. The computer recognizes the device, and says that it is ready. Before when i would plug it in, a window would pop up asking what action I wanted to take. I would open windows explorer to open the SD card and view my files. Now it does not pop up. When I go to my computer and click the drive for removable disk, it says please insert a disk into removable disk. This makes no sense. Anyone else have any advice?
Is your device rooted? I ask because a lot of us that are rooted used unrEVOked and had to load drivers before doing so and you might try just loading the drivers from their site. I can link you too it if need be, let me know.

[Q] 4.1.1 file transferring on mac

So i updated my One X through the OTA 4.1.1, now everything changes and stuff. Now I can't mount my hox as a disk driver, it forces me to download the htc sync manager, but it doesn't work either...
It doesn't recognize my device, it says no device.
Please help guys, i need this. Is it because i'm using a mac and that the manager has just been released recently so it still has bugs?
thanks in advance

to use usb you need to go in recovery and mount usb, if you're not rooted, well, that's the only method... HTC ha removed the USB storage from JB
lol, sorry im really new to this android thing. How do i go into recovery mode?
and plus, if i choose to use sync manager, why doesn't it recognize my device? Is it because i don't the mtp drivers?
thanks in advance
I haven't got the JB OTA, but I usually use Solid Explorer's File Transfer mode to copy files to/from my device over wifi. I don't see why it shouldn't work on JB too, so you can give it a try - download the app from the Play Store and use your favourite mac ftp client (mine is Cyberduck). Good luck!

if you don't know what recovery is then you didn't root the device so don't do that... however the Macs don't have MTP mode, it is a Windows only feature

Wait, so are you saying HTC has made the internal storage like it is on the GNex (one big partition for apps + data +user storage that can't be accessed through USB storage mode)? But could they have removed USB file transfer support without reformatting everything?

[Q] Synch manager only synching phone storage

Hi Forum members,
I have a HTC One X with JB. Since the latest Synch Manager (SM) I am not able to synch anything other than Phone Storage. This is because SM doesn't see anything else. At the same time in Explorer I have a folder Internal Storage. This is the folder I also want to synch (partly). So now I can't synch music and pictures, because they are on the Internal Storage.
Anybody has any ideas how to resolve this?
Furthermore before JB I could choose what to do when I connected to my PC: only charge; use as HD; synchronize; tethering and another option. Now I don't have that possibility and tapping "USB connected" on the 'drop down' list only gives the option to change settings for tethering.
Ones again: anybody has any ideas how to resolve this?
Greetings,
Zooi
Did you update SM to the latest version ?
Yes, I have version 1.1.65.0 and the program tells me I have the latest version.
Uninstall and reinstall maybe ? Or you could mount the device in Recovery Mode so it appears as USB Mass Storage instead of MTP
After uninstalling I downloaded the latest version from the HTC website. This appeared a new version: 1.1.66.0!
Now the SM not even detects the phone :crying:, let alone finds the Phone storage or the Internal storage. So nothing is synched and I still cannot change the mode on my phone from "Charge only" (I think, for I can't see in what way the phone is connected to the PC) to "Synchronize".
I also switched the phone off and back on again, but it changed nothing.
In "My Computer" I can see the phone, but only the Internal Storage. Where is the Phone Storage?
So I'm still not able to synch the phone in the SM program. Suggestions anybody?

No idea on your first question, but the above behaviour is normal. In Android 4.1 (and above) MTP is used to connect to the device rather than mounting it as USB storage. The only way to connect it as a mounted USB storage device is to do it in recovery (as someone already suggested).
But the recovery mode can only be accessed through a rooted device? Mine isn't rooted.

Yes, sorry. Assumed since you were posting on here you'd be rooted.
Anyway, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34660458
Still uses MTP but reading the thread it sounds like it'll let you access internal storage. I've not tried it since I'm not on Windows anyway, but might be worth a shot.
Same here sync manager does not work on mine. However, windows media player work fine.
I just install the sync manager for the driver.

Thank you all so far for trying to help. Nothing worked, so I still can't access the phone storage and SM doesn't synch other files than music and pictures.I guess I have to manually copy files from internal storage to my PC.

Mount in recovery or use airdroid.

If you are on a Mac, you can use the Android File Transfer tool (cannot post URL thanks to xda forum rules for noobs)
According to that page, if you are on a Windows machine:
You don't need extra software to connect your Android device to a Windows computer.

Go into developers settings, and enable USB debugging. It'll automatically show up as a mass storage device

Unable to mount internal storage or sd

Hey guys,
My niece has an HTC One M8 just as I do and I set up both of our phones identically when we got them... However, she is now having an issue where neither her internal storage or her sd card will mount on her PC. We have uninstalled and reinstalled HTC Sync like 5-10 times and we've tried standalone drivers, etc. She can still access the files via the phone and save files, etc...
Also, her phone does show up in device manager just like mine does... "My HTC"
Any ideas?
Try to uninstall any HTC drivers, than connect the phone. In Windows Device Manager, find the device. Select the option to manually choose the driver, then pick the generic MTP driver.
This worked for me when my PC would connect by adb/fastboot, but not read storage.

Seems to be a no go unfortunately.
Did she encrypt her data? If so, I don't think a computer can see the files now.
I've never done it, so I could be mistaken. ?
