I'm using crdroid on a rooted, s-off HTC M8 and I cant seem to see the internal memory or sdcard folders through htc m8 device when I plug the USB cord into my computer. However, when I boot into recovery I can move items from and to sdcard or internal memory.
Do you have HTC Sync installed? If not, try installing it. If so, tryin re-installing it.
Or go into Windows device manager, find the phone, and pick the option to manually select drivers, and pick the generic Android MTP drivers. See if that helps you see the internal storage on the PC (I need to do this on my Win7 PC).
I got it fixed...had to mess around with some settings and presto, magic !!

I cannot access my SD card when I connect it to my desktop, my pc sees it but I can only access the phone itself and not the sd card. It's a 2nd hand phone and the sd card is empty (no htc stuffs or anything) but it's definitely working.
Please help guys, I've been searching the forum for several hours and still cannot find the answer.
EDIT:
We can sync files into the SD card using HTC Sync but we cannot manually place (Typical drag files in and out) files via removable disk. Still cannot find any solution
Is debugging turned on or off?

Ifyou want to access the sdcard, you should choose the option to connect ad disk instead of sync or charge only.
If you're running a sense ROM, be sure to select "disk drive" in the USB menu when you connect the phone, not HTC Sync, etc.
Also, don't run HTC sync or just disconnect it after it starts, just let the computer recognize the phone as removable storage, not a phone.

Yeah, that's what I did first. I mounted it as a disk drive. I only synced it with HTC sync to just install the drivers. I'ma go try one more time.
Okay, solved by doing a restore factory settings and formatting the SD card.
Please close this thread mods Thanks!
Ok i have had it up to here...
No matter what freaking rom i had flashed - my win 7 pc does not really recognize my desire as usb mass storage device - first it started out that i had to run my device manager before win7 would recognize my desire but now not even that helps anymore,,,
i want those good old days back where stuff just..... worked....
it is a real pain to do all the stuff if you can not connect yourn desire as usb mass storage device - even though it works perfectly well in the recovery menu (mount usb)...

When you plug it in, do you get a notification on the phone about USB connection? You need to select mass storage mode. If not you need to update the drivers on your computer.

Connect thru Kies Wifi, after 5 days of trying to make the drivers work , i gave up.... Use Kies or remove the card and read it with a card reader.

Driver issue. Follow these instructions, just change the kindle stuff to yours. It will work. Make sure to update the USB driver in SDK, and check it a second time in the SDK to be sure it updated. And remember to reboot after installing the new driver, it won't work otherwise.

You should also have a setting that says connect to pc on your phone, make sure it is set to prompt.

Since I have installed this update I can no longer access the storage on my one via usb to pc? Before the update I would just plug the usb in and windows would ask if I wanted to open this mass storage device and I would just click yes and then I was in. Now there is nothing. I tried explorer but cant gain access that way either. Is there something I need to install or change in the phones settings now? Also what the hell is MTP mode? Running stock 4.3 now and was stock 4.2.2 before this update. Do I need to update a driver on my pc now to accommodate 4.3? I am drawing a blank now as to what the deal is??? Can someone please point me in the right direction? And yes I have tried different usb cables
MTP mode is what google uses since 4.2. basically instead of the phone dividing up the available memory for apps / storage it now puts all available storage together for you to use what you need it for. before you would get phones with 8gb storage and 1gb would be dedicated to apps, 7gb for storage. when you installed too many apps you would run out of room on the 1gb and start trying to figure out how you could move apps to sd-card to get more storage, etc... now with MTP you don't have that issue. there is no preset to how much storage can be used for what.
you should not need any additional drivers other than what windows will automatically install when a new device is plugged in. also, my phone shows as a device now in explorer and not as a drive letter.
is it possible when you plugged your phone in via usb cable that you accidentally cancelled the new device install? perhaps you can go to your device manager with the phone plugged in and see if there are any devices with an yellow ! point and then try to reinstall drivers for that device.
I don't understand. MTP mode is the only way that the HTC One ever interacted with a PC. To my knowledge, Google removed USB Mass Storage as of JB 4.1
I've had MTP issues with the M9, and they're still present with the 10. I've installed HTC Sync Manager, ADB can see the device via adb devices with no issues- Mounting the external sd card or internal storage to windows is not happening though. Is anyone else having these issues? What are possible workarounds? On the M9, I uninstalled and installed drivers manually, etc.
I miss the days when I could actually use my USB cord to transfer files around...
