My phone wont promt me to mount my SD card when i connect via USB to my laptop

I tried to figure out how to setup adb, and in the process tried to reinstall HTCSync2.0.25.
Ever since then (it may be a coincidence though) my phone does nothing but charge when i ahve it plugged into my laptop. I tried different cords, ports and computers and still no notification telling me to mount.
Is there a setting that i touched that may have turned off mounting?
Did i somehow delete the drivers? If so, what do i need to download because clearly HTCSync2.0.25 isnt doing anything for me since i tried removing and reinstalling + rebooting several times.
Any tips?
EDIT: Ive never had any problems before and i cant remember if i had any when i first got the phone or not.. I'm on windows 7

are you using stock ROM or? does you phone play sound when it connect to the laptop?

everything is stock htc sense.
no sound is made. its like the phone doesnt exist when i plug it in. it just charges. At first i thought it was my laptop, but then i tried my other computer and it didnt work their either..

Have you tried rebooting your phone?

yes, more than once.
Rebooting hte phone with the sd card unmounted (from the phone settings). Rebooting with usb debugging enabled. rebooting with usb debugging disabled. rebooted my laptop. everything

bad data pins on the usb port on the phone?

i doubt that. it worked fine 2 days ago.

Do you have DoubleTwist installed? I tried it once and it messed up my usb mounting and media scanning.

nopei havent installed any new apps between the time where it worked, and it didnt.
one day it did, the next it didnt.
Maybe its a driver error? wehn you first plug in a new htc magic, will it see the SD card or will it not do anyhting until your have the proper drivers? because i just reinstalled htc sync for the 10th time and it still doesnt see anyhting

Can you mount via recovery?
If yes then it's not hardware, cable or your usb port. Likely rom or app related.
If not then it's hardware, cable or your usb port.

well i dont know how to mount via usb, but the screen says fastboot usb when i plug it in.
Nothing comes up on the computer..

What kind of recovery are you using?
Reboot to recovery and mount the sdcard from there.
Plug it into your computer.
Does a removable disk show up?
Try a different sdcard
Try a different usb cable
Try a different computer even!
If all three fail then it's probably your phone (hardware).
Try to mount via recovery (sdcard in the phone, rebooted to recovery and depending on your recovery version... in this example I'll use Clockwork Recovery go to Partitions Menu > mount USB storage.)
If successful then it's rom related.
If fail then hardware (sdcard, phone hardware, computer hardware, usb cable) related
It's not difficult to troubleshoot. We just need to eliminate possible problems to pinpoint whether it's your sdcard, phone, usb cable or computer.

Thanks forhelping me. I appreciate it.
But I don't know how to mount via bootmenu. Il try a different sd card when I get home.
Also I got the stock recovery. Nothing had ben changed

Alright i just put in another sd card and still nothing. would formatting to factory settings help?
But before i do that, is there an app that backs up all my data and then restores it?

Uhhh.... yeah. There are several apps on the Market that will back up your data and restore it. Mybackup Pro ($$$) and Titanium Backup (Free) are the most popular.
But I would suggest installing a custom recovery first.
Try clockwork (use my signature) by downloading Rom Manager.
As long as you have root, (you do have root right?) then you can easily install a custom recovery.
Honestly though, it sounds like a problem with your computer or cable. If you can access the sdcard from your phone then it doesn't sounds like an issue with the card.

yea i guess its a problem with my phone then. I just did a factory reset and still nothing. I tried different cords on different computers so its unlikely that they're all broken..
And no i dont ahve root. Thats why i needed to connect, i was trying to root my phone!

Yup. It sounds like an issue with the usb port on your phone then.
It seems like it's not recognizing the cable when it's plugged in to switch to enable usb mounting.

but how could this happen so randomly? i had it plugged in and no problems, then when i went to replug it in a minute later nothing happened.
It's not a driver problem?
My computer gave em a popup once saying the device malfunctioned or something

It could be a driver, but if you tried a different computer then it's like you said... it's unlikely that all your computers are having the issue.
Just for the hell of it, uninstall the drivers, plug the phone in and try mounting it.
We just need removable storage and that doesn't take any special drivers at all.

yea thats what i tried yesterday, which still didnt work
i'm on hold with HTC now.. i'll see what they say. it's still under warranty
I cant believe this randomly happened.

[Q] Is my Legend bricked or f**ked?

Hi!
A couple of days ago, my Legend started to act weird, I tried to install a new nightly-build (CM), but they never worked. I always had to roll back to CM RC2.
Now, about a day after that, I could no longer access my pictures on my phone. I rebooted it, and it said that my SD-card was corrupt, and that I had to format it. I connected the phone to my computer via USB, and it asked me to either scan and repair the SD-card, or continue without scanning. What I noticed, was that the sound Windows makes when you connect or disconnect a USB-device to a comp kept repeating. Like; disconnected. connected. disconnected. connected.
I couldn't transfer files or anything, since halfway in, it would disconnect, and the transfer would stop.
Now, when I used the SD-card in an adapter and connected to the computer directly, I encountered no problems at all. I could transfer freely, format the card, whatever.
I tried using another card, but my Legend kept telling me it was corrupted. When I tried for the 3rd or 4th time, the phone just said there wasn't an SD-card inserted at all, and when I connect the phone via USB, Windows is stating it doesn't recognize the device...
Is my Legend bricked? I flashed it to an unrooted stock-ROM in case I have to hand it in to service, but I want to know if it's something I can fix myself, or if it's actually broken.. The USB-thing could be a brick I guess, but the SD-card thingy?
Btw, I live in a very cold country, and sometimes my phone is really cold when I pull it from my pockets, maybe that was the source? :/ I dunno..
TL;DR - My Legend suddenly stopped recognizing my SD-card, and finally didn't read the SD-cards at all. My Windows started telling me it didn't recognize the device inserted into the USB-port whenever I connected the Legend.
Thanks, folks!

There is always hope...try THIS

Thanks! But I see this;
"You must be rooted to try the following, it seems you can't write to mtd0 without root."
I just unrooted in case I had to turn it in. Since it won't read my SD-cards, there's no possibility for me to root it again, I think :/

i dont know how the brick exactly worked but there may be a chance to root again.
try to make your microsd to a goldcard again and look if its working, the chance is pretty low but at least its worth a try. (i know this sounds paradox)

I guess that could work, but to make a goldcard I have to run some commands through adb, and my Windows cannot recognize the USB-device inserted.. :/

I had a same problem "and when I connect the phone via USB, Windows is stating it doesn't recognize the device..." and device was urooted but i fixed sd with this:
Also, SD card functionality has to work. For this, go into fastboot mode ( device off : volume down + power, select FASTBOOT) , and do:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
then install this via the sd card + sdcard reader for root rights and unbrick over terminal emulator! worked for me!

[Q] Desperate Need of Help

Alright, Ive been browsing these forums ever since I got a Captivate and now I am trying to help a friend that has an Epic. They currently have dk28. Their Epic has always been Flakey on being detected on computers. We have tried three, it only gets detected on Mass storage on one of those and doesnt get detected in dowload mode on any of them. That being said, We cannot get back to stock via Odin, or use the Samsung official Update due to that it will not be detected in download mode. Can anyone tell me is there anything I can do at this point? Ive already tried 3 cables, uninstalling and re-installing drivers, etc... I am hoping maybe there is some way to get back to stock without odin, then from there getting to EB13 without the use of a computer. Thanks in advance and I look forward to posing here.....

Did you restart the computer at all?

usb debugging enabled?
i have trouble connecting sometimes and it's always solved by restarting the phone.

Are you placing the phone in Download mode???
****Ensure USB Debugging is Enabled.
Download mode:
1. power off the phone.
2. Press 1 + Power button together
otherwise, I would highly recommend to:
1. uninstall drivers
2. restart the PC
3. install the Samsung drivers
4. restart
5. try connecting the phone (while powered on) and letting the PC recognize it.
6. Once drivers are installed, unplug the USB cable and Power off the phone
7. Place the phone in download mode and reconnect the USB cable and let the secondary drivers install.
8. unplug and reboot the phone, and restart the PC for last time.
Try Odin now, remember you need the phone in Download mode to use Odin.
Note: Yes I know I send the OP to restart many times his PC but, with windows we can never "restart" to much...

Couple things:
What OS are you using? If vista or 7, plug it in in debugging and go to the devices window in control panel, see if there is a samsung device there. If there is, right click and look at properties..check to see if there's an adb driver. If you see other drivers but not adb then its matter of getting the drivers to install somehow.
Second, there IS a full di18.zip, and a modem updater.zip to di18 as well, both flashable in CWM..(I believe its in a thread started by noobnl, its kinda old)...you might only have to do the .zip though since you'll eventually be going to the eb13 modem. I don't know for sure.
But be wary: switching android versions with CWM can be dangerous. I know it sounds counterintuitive, but it can actually be riskier than using odin. I would say use this only in last resort.
If you decide to do this, MAKE SURE you have the full download (I say download twice and compare the sizes just to make sure), have a full battery and keep it plugged in, and do your 3x wipes
Good luck

Im Using Vista and No Drivers were there.... And I guess I may be at the last resort point. Full details?

some people have tried changing usb ports and it will work.
anyone else having problems not being able to connect phone to comp. can try this method but not sure if this works on the dk28.
what you could do is to remove the microsd card from phone use the adapter that came with it and put sd card into your laptop or if you have a external hub then your microsd will just be a storage devise then download the mac version of froyo from samsung (sorry i can't post outside links yet)but it is the samsung support downloads then search for this SPH-D700ZKASPR click on the software then download the mac version to comp. then copy and paste what you downloaded to the root of the sdcard (the first one you see when you open the sdcard) then put card back in phone, power off phone wait untill all lights go off press volume down, camera and power at same time. then in recovery chose update.zip from sd by using volume buttons to chose what you want to do then press the home button to start.

I had issues with mine taking the update (and issues with it beforehand) and getting it recognized on two different computer, multiple times, it seems completely random whether or not it would work sometimes.

Any confirmation on whether or not this is safe and will work???

this is how i put different updates in zip format on my phones sometimes my comp hesitates, so to make sure they go on sd card all the way this is how i do it. its doing the same as mounting phone in storage mode.
but i went back to stock ecliar di18 2.1 a couple days ago and i had no prob.at all.
i just didn't want to wait for the ota and i found the update.zip on the samsung website yesterday at about 6 pm. downloaded it and it worked great. was rooted this morning at 7am and am good to go.

sorry, what i was saying for you was to change ports. i guess what should have been asked is are you rooted or do you just have the unofficial dk28 on it from dec. and have you removed any of the bloatware?

Yes change USB ports. The ones in the front normally don't work. You need one directly on the mortherboard

Hate to ask, but did you follow the instructions EXACTLY as the SW Updater tool says? Pull battery (next) - Download mode (next) - plug into PC (next) - Pull battery (again) (next).
One of the steps the tool does has to do with installing drivers... you mentioned Vista, but is it 32 or 64 bit? Have you tried a different PC?

I have the exact issue with my phone. I can only connect to my computer using the back usb ports (off the motherboard). I'm on windows 7. If you haven't, give that a shot. Even try uninstalling the drivers, connecting to the back usb ports and see what it does.

Saw someone post about Odin only working when they flipped the phone face down - thought it had something to do with the accelerometer. I suspect that in that case it might just be a bad connection and flipping the phone over made the contacts work. Worth trying though it you are desperate.

Rooted Evo will not connect to PC

I rooted my Evo with unrevoked3 a few months ago and since then (or sometime after) my phone will not connect to my PC. It will charge but that's it. I checked off the ask me every time I connect option, it's set to mount as disk drive. I am using the stock usb cable that came with the phone. I tried hard resetting, data wiping back to factory default. Still won't connect. Tried reinstalling HTC Sync. Doesn't recognize my phone being plugged in. I want to flash my phone back to stock so I can bring it back to Sprint but I can't bring it back rooted and I can't unroot it without using the PC. I have Googled and Googled all over but can't find an answer. I did a search here and there are similar problems but no solutions that have worked for me. Could it be the cable? It is in good condition as is the phone. Maybe the USB port on the phone? Those went bad on all my Blackberries. I'm sure this problem is expressed frequently but a response would make my day.

I am assuming you have a windows based PC.
Do you have any device driver conflicts in your windows Device Manager? I'd start there. Your computer wouldn't properly reconize your phone if you have some sort of conflict or you don't even have the right drivers installed.

Broken usb is a known issue with EVO, something about how it is soldered onto the motherboard. Are you running a custom ROM or kernel?
Have you tried mounting it in Recovery? You can always use a MicroSD card adapter to transfer files. I just use Dropbox.
You can unroot without your PC. Just download everything on your phone.
Download the S-On tool from Unrevoked. Flash it in Recovery. Check to make sure phone is S-On
Download the PC36IMG.zip restore to your phone, there is a thread with it in Development. Use Astro/Root Explorer to move the PC36ING.zip to the base of your SD card.
Go into HBoot and it will recognize it. It'll ask if you want to update, say yes. Let it sit and do its thing.
There is a guide in q&a about unrooting
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Yes, Windows based PC.
So I downloaded the S-On tool, moved it to the root of my card with Super Manager, then flashed it. Says S-On at boot. I rebooted my phone, moved the PC136zip to the root of the sd card. Rebooted with down vol + power and it checks for pc136zip but doesn't ask anything. I tried zipping it in recovery and it says bad. I tried another download site and did the same thing, doesn't recognize it upon hboot, so I tried zipping from sdcard, selected it, it quickly said some text about updating then nothingness. How do I know if it unrooted?
Edit: Also, I checked my device manager on my pc but it didn't show anything wrong.

Install terminal and type su
You will get permission denied if not rooted.
I have a working PC36IMG.zip in my Dropbox, if you need it tell me and I'll PM you a link

if u think ur phone is broke cuz u cant connect to pc after u rooted it, it isnt broke at all. my phone did the same thing after i rooted it. I don't remember exactly cuz it was a while ago, but u may have to turn on usb debugging in settings before it will recognize it. also u can go into recovery and mount usb to write to it

It might have to do with the drivers you have to install when you run unrevoked. It has been a while, but I am pretty sure I had to install a special USB driver to run unrevoked.

I had this happen to my phone last week after I used my computer to root two other peoples phones.
It makes no sense really, but while in recovery I connected to the computer to move a few files to the phone, and after that it was able to connect whether in recovery or not.
See if your phone can make the connection while in recovery.

Ok, so I brought the phone to Sprint after trying a different USB cord and they said the port is damaged. My new phone arrived today but I need to get my phone back to stock ASAP. I got it back to S-On but when I attempt the pc36img flash it says...
SD Checking....
Loading... [PC36DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading... [PC36DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading... [PC36IMG.zip]
Then the black bar loads.
Then it says.
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Do you want to reboot device?
I hit yes.
I still have SuperUser Permissions.
I've downloaded a few different pc36img.zip from different pages and this happens every time.
Edit: Probably wondering how I did this without a USB. I bought an SD Card reader and transferred everything through PC.

Try this.
1. Plug your usb cable into the computer.
2. Plug your usb cable into the phone.
3. Wait and listen for the little sound that tells you that the computer sees it.
4. Unplug your USB cable from the phone and wait about 2 seconds.
5. Plug the USB cable back into the phone, listen for the sound, then look at the computer monitor.
On mine, I have to do this to make the autorun window pop up running Windows Vista.
Shot in the dark, but thought it might help.

Noise doesn't happen. USB port is damaged, noise will never happen.
On the upside,
(I don't have 8 posts yet or I would show the download image) Updated version of PC36IMG.ZIP that worked. Just rename to pc36img and it unrooted my phone.

I'm having this same problem. Now, In this case, I hear the noise. Then a second double noise (like when you unplug the usb) This happens whether I am in recovery or not. Also, oddly enough, the thing works on my mac. It's done this through several different ROMS Right now I'm using synergy (which is great btw). I'm really at a loss here. Anyone got any other ideas? Like where I can find it in device manager. There are like 9 "root usb" devices
*edit* Also, I'm using window's XP proffessional. I've tried some trouble shooting but nothing is really working. Also it's being assigned a disk letter when connected, during the short time (like less than a second) when the disk pops up it says removable disk. I timed it and it's being assigned H, but it's being ejected almost immediately.

I think it has something to do with power being supplied in the cord. Maybe something to do with kernal? I dunno. But I plugged it into a usb port in the back of my pc, and it read it : /

how to fix??

USB Problem

I plug my phone into the laptop, it says it's connected via USB, so I enable mass storage, the laptop says theres an error would I like to scan and fix? I say yes, then after about 30 seconds, with no warning, without me touching the phone, it disconnects from the laptop, but it still knows its connected, it's just as if it disables mass storage. If I don't select scan and fix it still happens. Might connect the SD Card via adapter and see if it does it?
Anyone?
R800i, CM7 beta 011.

my phone did the same thing the first day i got it all i did was took the battery out and put it back in and it never happen again

Already tried that. Gutted it didn't fix it.

No, I've been using the SD Card that came with it, it's been working perfectly. I let the phone fall about a foot onto carpet and that's when the problems started happening. I'm going to connect it via a SD Card Reader and see what happens.
Also, after flashing CM7 and reverting to normal rom it no longer gives me the option of connecting the SD card when connected via USB. The option doesn't appear.
How do I get back to a pure stock phone after CM7, could someone please give me detailed instructions, and btw, I'm having problems getting flashtool to connect to my phone for some reason.

This will give you a direct stock unrooted phone running 2.3.3 with all bloatware and crap installed too. Just like you would find straight out the box.

No you cannot, it will brick it!! Either use blagus' bootloader relock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134334&page=2 then use SEUS to reintsall fresh.
If you dont want to relock the bootloader just flash the standard 2.3.3 (here) or the rooted img (here) and click the clear user data box when using flashtools and it will do the same job as SEUS. You say flashtools is not working are you connecting it wrong? Turn the phone off then hold the back key and plug in the usb when flashtools asks and the power button should turn green)
Also you mentioned "it no longer gives me the option of connecting the SD card when connected via USB" dunno if its this. But if the usb conection mode (setting>sony ericsson>conectivity>usb conection mode) is set to Media transfer mode (MTP) it wont ask you to connect the sd but if its set to mass storage mode (MSC) it asks for you to connect sd.

I fixed the problem anyways, when I dropped my phone it kinda screwed up my SD card, so I plugged it directly into my laptop and ran Microsoft's scan and fix tool. All working well now.
Also, How can I get flashtool working? It doesn't work for me at ALL. I've been trying the 2.9.1 beta (think that's the version).
Anyways, it says searching for xperia, please connect your device in flash mode, all the time, and never recognises my phone. I dunno why, but it's driving me mad :-(

I think i know the answer for this one.
You need to install the drivers that come with the flashtool.
They should be in the drivers folder.
Let me know if it worked !

oh serious??!!?!

I've installed the ggsetup ones, there are 3 rars in there too, but theyre all for the x8 or x10. I've a play, what do I do? I went to reinstall ggsetup and it said it's already installed...

you need to hold back bouton before you connect it

yeah, found out there a few minutes ago, thought the back button was used on the x8 like search is on ours to enter fastboot

Ah ah ^^ have fun on 2.3.3 rooted

I didn't need to put the drivers in the folder. At first it didn't find them but after a while it found the ones from the SE software that the phone installs.

Yeah same. Reverted BK to stock rom from cm7 but got the SD card unmount error. Tried flashing stock kernel but still got the error. Back to cm7 now.
