Recently, I installed a theme incorrectly which lead me to factory reset my phone. I am currently trying to install dl09 but I can't seem to get into my SD card from my computer. When I plug the usb into my computer + phone, it pops up a window "CD Drive (F Verizon Mobile" instead of the usual pop up for my SD card. In the folder there are files to install Samsung usb drives but I don't need them so I just click exit. I'm assuming this is getting in the way of getting to my SD card and even though I install the drivers using Verizon's files, it keeps giving me the popup. How can I solve this issue? Thanks in advance.
Try rebooting the phone while its plugged into the pc, that usually works

With DL09, that would happen to me, but all I had to do was wait a minute or so and the CD-ROM device would unmount and then the standard USB Mass Storage device would mount and the USB would kick in on the phone. No, really, that's not a joke
I also found that with both DL09 and the leaked Froyo, setting the phone USB to Ask on Connection worked better than arbitrarily setting Mass Storage for some reason.
My phone has started doing this after installing DL30, but I found that if you right click on the cd drive and click eject, your phone will then display the mass storage pop up and you can mount the sd card as usual.

Tried rebooting while phone was plugged in, no luck.
Waited when phone was plugged in, popup did not disappear.
Right clicked and ejected the F:\, still no luck.
Have you tried enabling USB debugging under Applications->Development? This fixes the issue for me on DL30.

I hate to start a "OMG ITS NOT WORKING" Thread. But im just plain stuck.
Im trying to get to my sd card on my computer, to switch to my 4gb and to get the update.zip on it so i can root. But no matter what i do, it wont mount. My computer complains that the "USB Device not recognized" and loads a bogus driver. Ive been trying to get it figured out but nothing so far.
Anyone else have this problem? Any one know how to fix it?
hope this helps

No help :O( i dont get whats wrong.
what happens when you plug in the usb cord? Are any external drives shown on your computers file/drive viewer (my computer, etc)? If so can you open those drives, if not what does it say?
the way it should work is.
-DL the drivers here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7218057
-install the drivers on your PC
-hookup phone to PC via the provided usb cable
-on the phone drop down the notification bar and MOUNT the SD card.
-open My Computer or other file viewer
-see two external drives one the internal with about 13GB of total space and one the SD card with 2GB of total space
-add remove files from cards
I did all that. When i plug it in, my computer says "the usb device is not recognized" and proceeds to load a bogus driver. Ive installed the debugging driver, nothing. nothing shows up in my computer for the sd card, OR the phones own flash memory.
I have 3 separate android phones, never had this problem before.
try connecting the phone to your pc again. Make sure that on your phone, that youre using the mass-storage option. Next look at the top of your phone, and pull down the header bar. and click on the "usb connected" option or whatever it says, and then choose "mount" when it pops up.
That's how your actually turn on the mass-storage. dont know why its like this, thought it would be automatically done after chosing the mass-storage option.
I am having the same issue. Installed drivers but can't access the drives.
It does automatically set it self for mass storage, but the computer for some reason isnt seeing it. im pretty sure its a driver issue. or the usb port on the phone maybe bad... that would be annoying.
My Galaxy Vibrant is driving me insane with USB problems. I bought mine about 2 weeks ago, and it connected fine to my PC. Then, out of the blue while turning it on it got stuck at the black screen with white touch lights on....after a few attempts to fix this, I returned it for a new Galaxy Vibrant. This new one will not be recognized by my desktop PC at all. It connects fine however to my laptop (same OS). I am trying to connect it as "USB Mass Storage" mode, without Kies installed at all (I've given up on this awful software). I've tried numerous USB Drivers that others have had success with but unfortunately they have not worked for me.
Drivers I've tried...
USB Drivers 1.3.170
USB Drivers 1.3.450
USB Drivers 1.3.800
Any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated.
Best would be to install and update kies so that drivers are the latest, then uninistall kies (or disable it, so you'd be able to update it without having to reinstall again)
Before that though, you might wana clean everything on the PC (ccleaner and glary Utilities might help you on that)
It seems that it was you or your PC problem rather than the phone.
mounting internal sd
Did you make sure to mount your sd when connected in mass storage mode?
slide down notifications bar -> select "usb connected" -> press "mount".
If you have done that and still no luck then I haven't the foggiest.
Try restarting the phone and then connect the USB. This technique worked for me.

What are classified as media files? This happened as soon as I got my phone...I haven't uploaded any music/videos and currently have no pictures.
Thank god for Froyo!

Hey all,
I have downloaded the Windows 7 64 bit drivers for my Fascinate. Installed them...but when i go to mount my SD card I can see it in Windows Explorer but it says CD drive F: Verizon Mobile. I cannot see anything on my SD card at all. How can I get this mounted. I am rooted and I have USB debugging on. Any other ideas on how to get this to work.
Pull down the notification bar at the top of the phone. Press mount sd card. Your problem mabe deeper than this but I just thought best to start simple. If u still can't get it we need more info like is it DI01,DJ05, or DL09

No, I cannot mount that way. I am on dl09. Very frustrating.

I had the same issue. I flashed Adrynalyne's latest voodoo kernel 01/21 low voltage and it seemed fixed it for me. I'm running DL09 supah clean 04 also.
See here and go to Test 4 this maybe your issue.

This is the official response from Samsung:
"There is no SD card mount issue on Windows OS. After user connects USB cable, Windows OS will recognize the device as CD-Rom, and the ToolLauncher_Bootstrap.exe will be running by autorun function. (WinXP only, Win 7 user should run ToolLauncher_Bootstrap.exe by himself ). At this point either user can ignore the installation of TL and use mass storage directly, or wait 30 secs timeout and the device will be changed to mass storage.
Another option is that user can change the settings -> USB setting to 'Ask on connection' from mass storage(default). It will allow user to go to mass storage directly by selecting mass storage.
But The mass storage is not working on MAC OS from previous version, and We have a fix for that in FROYO release."
Hope this helps.
I have the same issue when using certain kernels not sure if it is in the kernel or not. the only way i am able to mount the sd or use pda net is to plug the phone into the comp and reboot the phone after the phone reboots the comp recognizes it. I know this is not a fix but it does work everytime and the phone is recognized until the next time i reboot my phone without it being plugged into comp. This is a temp fix until you can find a better fix.
Hi all,
I am new to the X. I am coming from the HTC Incredible. I was running CM7. I liked it a lot. My Incredible suffered some physical damage and for the price of an insurance claim I picked up an X on Criagslist.
I am experiencing some difficulties with the X however. One of these was posted in another thread. I will recap here for the purpose of consolidating my questions.
Issues:
1. <Resolved> Unable to access the bootloader screen.
2. SD card not recognized. <Possible dead SD card slot>
3. <Resolved> Confusion on drivers required to get my device to show in a command prompt with the 'ADB Devices' command.
Details:
1. When attempting to access the boot loader screen the search button does not get me in. I power the device down. Then I hold the home and power button screen until the Droid and caution icon appear. Then the device becomes unresponsive. When I press the search button nothing happens. From here I must pull the battery to reboot.
<Resolution provided by meshdub below> Thank you.
2. The SD card is not recognized by the device. I have a new SD card. I can pop it in my PC and it works fine (shows in Windows Explorer and I am able to access and format there). When the device is plugged in to my computer the drive letter shows but when clicking on the drive it says 'Please insert a disk in drive G:'. The storage settings screen displays the following:
Total space - Unavailable
Available space - Unavailable
Mount SD card - Insert an SD card for mounting <grayed out>
Format SD card - Format (erase) the SD card <grayed out>
When I go to settings > Privacy settings > Factory Data Reset and check the Erase SD card option a message pops up stating the SD card has been removed.
3. I am trying to get the drivers needed for accessing the ADB devices via command prompt. Before downloading the Motorola driver set application, my XP machine detected and installed some drivers for the device. The device does show up in the device manager as a disk drive and CD ROM drive with the name 'Motorola MB810 USB Device'. I have since downloaded the Motorola application and the USB charging driver packages. I am unsure how to get these drivers associated with the device so I can get it to list in ADB devices to try to move forward. I have tried to uninstall and rescan for hardware in the device manager but it keeps coming back with the XP drivers.When I plug the USB cable in to my X it auto detects the hardware and drivers before I can select a different one.
<Resolution> Make sure that in the Applications settings Development settings USB Debugging is enabled.
My thought is if I can root and get a new bootloader or recovery I may be able to circumvent any existing issues with the current ROM or bootloader.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
OldTymeHockey
Please help with drivers
Okay. Well, it seems there is no help for my first post. I would like to address the drivers first.
I have downloaded the Motorola driver installation 5.0.0 from Motorola's site. I have tried many many things to get the right drivers for the ADB to recognize my device. I am having no success.
It appears Windoze is using it's own generic drivers each time I plug my device in to the USB port. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Motorola driver application. I have uninstalled the MB810 from device manager many times. I can't get my computer to use any Motorola drivers.
EDIT:
I racked my brain while reading through the noob guide once again. It appears one step is missing from the driver install and getting the adb to recognize your device. You must enable USB debugging in the development menu of your device.
1. I assume you mean stock recovery, not bootloader. The keys have been changed in Moto's GB build. Once you get to the prompt (after holding home+power), try pressing both volume buttons. That should get you in. Navigate with volume, select with the power button.
2. This is weird... Do you have any other SD cards to test and see that it's not a defective SD slot on your phone?

1. Got into recovery. Thanks.
2. I have tried three SD cards. An old 1GB, the 4GB from my Incredible, and a brand new 8GB from Sam's Club. Is there any cure for a possibly defective SD card slot?

not that I know of =/
Have you formatted it on the computer? If so, make sure you do it as fat and not ntfs.
Also, the sdcard slot being broken could be why the guy sold it?
Also, is the sdcard mounted on the computer when you have it in the droid x?

What version of Android is on your DX? What version are you trying to get? Do you know how to SBF?

I have formatted it to FAT on my computer. It still doesn't show up in the device.
It is quite possible that is why it was sold. Live and learn.
I don't think it shows on my computer. I only see the MB810 USB device in device manager under CD ROM drives and also under disk drives. Windows Explorer shows two extra drives when plugged in. One CD ROM and one removable drive. Neither show any files in Windows Explorer.

I am on 2.3.3. Kernel is 2.6.32.9. It was the OTA update provided by Verizon.
I was just trying to get a different recovery first to see if I could get at the SD card that way. I had CM7 on my Incredible. I intend to run CM again. I like it.
I have been reading on SBF but I don't think I need that at this point.
This may be of no help, but every time I plug my phone into my computer, I have to pull down the navigation bar and select the mass storage option from list even though it is already on it. It absolutely will not recognize it until I do this.

All better now
Thanks for the input guys. It turns out the SD card slot wouldn't respond to anything. Cards were not recognized by 2.2, 2.3, or even in recovery.
Well, I went to the Verizon store just to ask them to look at it (playing dumb). It turns out the insurance I had covered the phone. It fell under the extended warranty. This is not normal as I bought the phone off Craigslist and it was tagged as 'customer provided equipment' but somehow it was covered.
Now I have a fresh factory refurb to work with. I have to SBF back to Froyo though because it came with 2.3.3 loaded. That is, unless someone has come up with a solution to root Gingerbread. I'm off to do my research.
When I plug my phone in my computer sees the phone and names a removable drive for it, but when I click it it says please insert? So its not recognizing the phone. Im running the latest moto drivers. I don't know whats going on.
I'm rooted and running CM7 the latest build. Also Ive tried in on 2 different computers both with the moto drivers and the same thing happens.
If your in USB Storage mode you shouldn't have problems. Sounds like it just didnt read it try again. If it fails again, it could be the USB cord or the SD card.

Is there a setting I can check to force it into that maybe it got inadvertently changed. Because no matter what I do its not working. Card should be ok too it lets me save things to it from the phone
Do you have USB Debugging enabled?
To check what USB mode you're in, pull down the notifications bar, tap USB connection, and make sure you're in USB Mass Storage mode. To check to see if you are in USB Debugging mode, go to applications, development, and select USB debugging
