[Q] External SD card not showing in PC - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I reimaged my PC, loaded the latest Samsung drivers, and now cannot see the external SD card on my PC. I am running Windows 7. Althougth I am running a custom ROM, I am the only one that cannot see the external SD card so I think it is my connection/drivers. I originally just installed the latest Samsung drivers, as part of troubleshooting I went ahead and installed the full Kies Air software. I can see the exteranal card fine in my phone and can transfer files fine within my phone. Any thoughts on what I need to set or do differently? I have reloaded the driver a couple of times. I have tried it with USB debugging on and off. ROM is a touchwiz based ROM, Project X V 2.6. (Any help appreciated.)
Edit: Just found out I had to switch from mass storage to MTB and then I can see the external drive.

sd
How do you do that?

PC not reading internal/external memory SGS3

i have a videotron Galaxy S3 T-999V rooted and running FreeGS3 SuperSonic R5 rom (awesome rom)
just recently, when ever i connected my phone to the computer (running windows 7) and tried to copy files onto the external memory card, my computer could not copy it and gave me a message saying "sd card might be damaged etc...."
but then i tried to copy something onto my internal memory card and my computer again couldn't copy it, saying "the file could not be copied because the device may have stopped working or is corrupt etc"
i even tried Android file Transfer on my mac and it wouldn't recognize the phone when connected
i never had this problem before and it just recently came up unexpectedly, i've been running Ultimatum Rom 1.3 (ATT SGS3 rom, but has been working perfectly) on my T999 SGS3
is it a software or hardware problem? my phone works perfectly fine.i can copy and move files within in the phone, and when i put my microSD card into a SD card adapter my mac seems to recognize is and can copy files onto it right away
What i've done:
Turn on/off USB debugging mode
Turn on/off "Allow Mock Locations"
Installed android SDK on my pc
Installed all Samsung Drivers on my PC
installed Samsung Kies (still would not detect my phone)
Tried different roms (CM10, kyan Rom, Ultimatum 1.3)
Restored from Previous back-ups using CWM
Performing a full wipe and installing the rom again.
PLEASE HELP !!
any help would be greatly appreciated !!

Samsung Galaxy S i9000 internal sd card not working and touchscreen not responding

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?

phone won't connect to computer

After installing the latest version odex zone rom, my computer will not open to the MTP screen. It just charges only. I know it worked before because I moved the rom to my sd card thru my computer. I know the drivers are installed because as I said, I installed thru my computer. Any help will be appreciated.

[Q] Can't mount SD card both in Android & TWRP, MTP driver doesn't work Win 10

I've got a trouble with my HOX when I upgrade my computer to Win 10.
I use ROM: XenonHD 5 Kernel 3.1.10 -cyanogenmod.
I have tried to mount SD card on computer with HTC sync and a bunch of MTP drivers but it haven't worked at all.
I have already uninstalled device and reconnected but it didn't work.
I have already actived USB debugging and didn't work.
Now, it is totally crazy that I can't mount my SD card to transfer data. I really need the help, does anyone have the driver for MTP or someone got that issue? Help me please, thanks all.

Lineage on S5 - No folders on PC

Hi folks,
Lineage 16 (latest version) is now installed on my S5, however when I connect the USB, the phone just shows as 'SM-G900F' on my W10 PC and cannot be expanded, basically no Phone and Card folders.
I can see them in the phone no problem, but once I connect it, I am not prompted with the usual message on what I want to do, like file transfer etc. and on the left menu appears only the model of the phone.
I had no issues when I flashed the original firmware, so it must be related to Lineage.
I also installed the Android USB drivers, but no go.
Changing the USB Preferences, to PTP or File Transfer only allows me to see the phone folder but no SD.
I also tried a new SD, no success.
Any thoughts?
Thank you,
Alex

Do you have adopted or removable SD?

I have re-flashed everything and started from the beginning.
lineage-16.0-20190918-nightly-klte-signed + open_gapps-arm-9.0-mini-20190921
SanDisk SD Card 32GB, either way I try to format it does the following:
Phone Storage: attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String android.os.storage.VolumeInfo.getId()' on a null object reference.
SanDisk SD Card unsupported
Portable Storage: When I hit format, it says: Your Card is ready to use - I click Done but still the cart shows in the Storage area as portable Storage SanDisk SD Card Unsupported
The card is OK, also because if I flash the original ROM the same card works perfectly and shows up in my PC too.
This is very annoying, I am stuck on this for days and even trying other cards I get the same.
I hope you can help me to resolve this matter.
Thank you!
Alex
