What do i need to do? Partition it?
okay my SD card still isnt appearing on my computer.. And i just reformatted it.
Does it show in the phone? U probably have driver issues connecting ur phone the computer. What does it say in ur device manager?

Do you have swap file on your sd card if yes,deactivate swap before connecting usb.

Hey guys I just got the Nexux S 4G from Sprint yesterday and when I plug it into my computer it installed everything and said my device was ready to use but when I turn USB mass storage on and I dont get a folder on my computer. Anyone have the same problem of know a fix? Its windows 7 btw.
You need to install the usb drive from the sdk.
Go to the dev section and look for the rooting guides and you'll find links to it you don't need to be rooted but you need the drives for your computer to read your phone

Awesome thank you very much.
Ok so now when I plug it in the folder shows up but when I click it it says no drive.
Mmm, it must be cause the phone does not have an external sd, did you also turned the debug mode and or mass storage on your phone? You'll find those on your settings

A lot of people seem to be having this issue, particularly after installing or coming from a recovery.
I have the issue of not being able to mount the Mass Storage from recovery. I can mount from the OS just fine also fastboot has no problems.
Yep...USB Storage mode is borked. I wonder if GRJ22 has anything to do with this.
My goal is to use my phone as a bootable drive, running some flavor of Linux, while having the SD card (or even a portion) accessible for the phone or as mass storage. -- I am NOT trying to run linux on the phone, I just want to boot and run linux from USB.
In the past 24 hrs I've installed raw image to my sd. I was able to get it to boot, however the entire partition was inaccessible to my phone, or windows. Also Gparted was unable to see my phone's SD partition the entire time. Any partitioning that happened happened in Clockwork Recovery 5.
Has anyone successfully pulled this off?
Probably it didn't see your phone? I'm not too linux savy but I know that there needs to be certain rules for the usb to pick up the phone? Is that the issue? It boots but won't pick up the sd card as useable storage because it doesn't see the phone?
What I'm thinking is the usb rules for the phone are not present so its not going to recognize the phone as potential storage.

I was able to get the computer to recognize the phone and boot from the Linux OS on the SD. I did have a bit of a problem getting the phone to stay in mass storage mode for the computer to recognize it though. I'm not sure why Gparted didn't see it though.

Like I said it may be missing the udev rules for android, Wait the pc recognizes is as storage like it will display your model number in the "places"?
Usually to get the OS to recognize the device you need to have a file for it.
I forget the exact location but it is a list that provides the os with info required to pick up the device.

Don't know if this helps, but Multi-Mount (in the Play Store) is able to mount your SD card and access it from both your phone and USB drive at the same time.
Im having an issue with TWRP 2.2.2.0.
It seems that I cant mount USB storage from the recovery at all. I can hear the sound on my lappy that a USB device is connected but when I try to mount through the recovery, nothing shows up on my computer. I tried mounting all the options there with no luck. Is this a known issue or have I messed up with my Nexie somewhere?
Thanks in advance fellow forumites.
Are you trying with usb otg? as in, cable and flash drive?

I couldn't figure that out either, I'm also using twrp. I had to use adb to transfer files. I don't think you messed up your nexie.

I am having the same problem.
With my Kindle Fire I could connect with a USB cable and see all the files on my pc, just like it was a drive. I can't get that to work on my N7. The only way I can do it is to use WIFI File explorer which works great, but I would still like to get the cable to do it's thing if possible.

Im trying to access the internal storage of the N7 from within the recovery. And it seems impossible :S
Right now for example, I wanted to do a NAND backup but I forgot to delete the previous one and Im out of space. The only thing I can do is reboot back to the system, plug in the usb and delete the backup, then reboot into recovery and backup -.- I wanted to avoid just that but it seems that USB mount doesnt work in TWRP at all. Is anyone using CWMR and can report wether it works there? I would re-flash the recovery in an instant...
Plugging my device into my PC, there is a TWRP folder that contains the backup I made. Couldn't you do this and just delete that folder? I'm not in debugging mode.
Some times windows detect USB device but fail to attribute a letter for that mass storage device. Look at disk managment for storage device without a letter.

I'm used to do all that stuff from within the recovery on my phone... So Im looking for the same thing for my Nexie. My biggest concern is that I wanted to have USB mount from within the recovery in case my Nexus fails to boot so I can transfer a new ROM and flash it with ease. Dont want to mess with ADB for basic stuff. I can access the storage when its booted normally just fine, its the recovery mount thats bothering me...

when you format your sd card on your phone you will still have folders on there as they are default android folders
on phone goto
phone settings
sd card and phone storage settings
unmount sd card
format sd card
on pc
right click on the drive you wish to format
click format
set to fat32
format
you can just delete any files on your sd card too if you want to remove them
note - if you have a 2nd sd card partition you will need to delete this in mini tool and then expand the other partition into free space or delete both partitions and create a new single partition
note this will not format any data on your phone like contacts apps stored on phone internal memory etc
My sdcard memory before. Format is 5.30 GB
After format it's 7.39 GB.
But I remove sdcard from phone and again move SD card on phone. The memory is 5.30 GB that I earlier have ...and I can't delete data from. SD card.and not renamed it....can't get files from USB through pc ....
Is there any problem in that?

impossible - if you delete the partition and create a new partition and format the sd card with mini tool on pc all data will go
make sure you actually press the apply button - nothing will actually happen untill you confirm all the changes

if you can view sd card and copy file to it and it is readable then its not corrupted
its more likely user error - and without seeing what you are doing or looking at the sd card I cant comment further
Ok...i copy file from pc to phone....and disconect usb storage...and again connect the file is not their....

Is it Write-Protected?
If it is try this Steps
U need to run cmd.exe,
CardReader
Insert your memory card in the Card Reader and plug it in the PC
Now, type the following in Command Prompt, pressing Enter after each command:
diskpart
list disk
select disk x (where x is the number of your USB flash drive – use the capacity to work out which one it is)
attributes disk clear readonly
clean
create partition primary
format fs=fat32* (you can swap fat32 for ntfs if you only need to use the drive with Windows computers)
exit

why is it showing as A: drive as the A: drive is normally reserved for floppy drives
Try using cwm to format the sd card or use a different pc or plug the sd card in a card slot on pc and not through usb cable

just saying using reserved drive letters is not a good idea as windows could get confused - id change it to a letter of E or after
A and B are reserved for floppy drives
C is reserved for windows hard drive
D is reserved for cd rom drive
E and after is normally free for extra drives
might not make any difference but it may confuse 3rd party programes when it tries to identify it
ok....
