My nexus one wont mount ( windows 7 64-bit )

When I first plugged in my nexus one, windows 7 recognized it and installed the n1 driver... but whenever I tried to mount the nexus one to access it's files, it wont let me; thus, I always have to manually remove the micro sd card and insert it to my sd card slot on my lappy to access it. ( Do keep in mind that I was able to mount my sd card at some point in the past. )
I tried turning on the the usb debugging mode while attempting to mount the sd card like some people suggested with no avail. Does anyone here know how to fix this problem? I would appreciate it very much if someone could help me.
Thanks,
Roxy

Uninstall the n1 driver and try again.

I did try doing that and it didn't work

I get a similar problem mine will mount and then automatically unmount so I cant copy any files to my n1

Use another usb port

Can't say I've ever had this problem before.
USB debugging enabled on the phone
drivers installed
and I can adb remount with any probs... :S

I have, I've tried 4 different port I have also tried on another pc and its the same.

I'm using Windows 7 64bit, no problems with usb driver and accessing N1 storage
try a different cable?

Restarting my PC, with the phone connected did the trick for me, I had exactly the same problem.

I'm not talking about ADB remount ^^; I'm talking about USB->SD Card mount.

Both doesn't work

maybe your nexus one usb port is goofed. i had that problem on a winmo phone after a while.
and, are you using the stock sd card supplied? or are you using one of the new fangled 32gb? i have a 16gb class 6 that has no issues whatsoever. try a diff sd card. otherwise, it may indeed be busted usb port

Or maybe you aren't responding to the "USB Connected" notification prompting you to "Select to copy files to/from your computer" ?

I doubt it's a USB port problem. I have the same issue with my nexus and windows 7 professional 64 bit. The same phone works flawelessly in XP mode on the same laptop!
So, it seems like it's a driver issue.

This is a common Issue on Android Devices
My roommate identified this issue on his Win 7 Home premium 64 bit machine, we found that when we hook up any G1 or Nexus to that PC none will stay mounted. It shows connected you choose the option to mount the phone will show mounted for a few seconds then will show not mounted and nothing happens on the PC. We have tried with 2 different G1's one rooted one not. Same with 2 Nexus One's, one was rooted one was not. All had the same issue. All of the phones will mount on other machines. We suspected the machine but there are no security settings active to prevent mounting and he is the administrator.

i had to install separate drivers by running devmgmt.msc, right click on nexus one, search for the correct driver in the sdk folder
the usb driver wasn't enough to do it. had to get drivers specifically for nexus one as well

Cant mount sd card on the computer

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.

[Q] Has anyone been able to mount an android phone? USB mount all does not work X10i

I have an android Sony Ericsson X10I and trying to mount it on the a500 but its not even recognized. I've already tried the paid version of USB Mount all with no sucsess. If you have been able to access the x10i or other cell phones storage please let me know how you did it. Thanks- Bryan

My Nexus One works with USB Mount All. On the phone it is set up with USB Debugging enabled, when prompted choose to mount on phone, wait till phone acknowledges it is mounted, then you should be able to launch USB Mount All and scan for your device (if it is not showing in the list). In fact, I just did this, and it worked.
Here's a screenshot.

Thanks for the reply, I've actually already tried to mount with and without the usb debuging selected on the phone. I can select mount on the phone as soon as its connected but my A500 does not see anything. I know the drive works as I've used regular flash drives on it even before I bought the USB mount all app. Maybe the phones format is different than others. It does download other drivers when initially connected to a computer.

What did you do? Use? Are you using a custom rom on either? More details would be useful.

Are you being patient and refreshing USB Mount All a few times after your phone has confirmed it is mounted? Mine doesn't show immediately, but after a refresh or two it just works.

I'll give it another shot when I get home. I have a 16gb micro sd card in my x10i. would it make a difference?

Discovered the issue. I could not get anything to mount including flash drives through the mount all. I discovered the issue was caused by busy box not completly installing. Reinstalled and can now mount my phone. Thanks for the replies everyone.

Went to DL USB Mount All and I saw a review that said app Drive Mount isvthesame thing for free. Tried it and it mounted my X10 flwlessly

I use drive mount for my phone which has an 8 gig sd card partioned as fat 32, ext-3, and linux-swap.....and all the partion get mounted...

Cant access USB transfer in TWRP.

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...

[Q]Transferring files on cm9/10?

I have been trying to search the forum but having no luck. I switched from cm7 to cm10 recently and I am looking for a way app/utility whatever to have my sd card mount on my pc when I plug in usb so I can transfer files to my storage partition. I was using USB Mass Storage Watcher app(I think it was called) before, but it doesn't like cm10 very much. If there is no way to see usb connection from android to pc, what would be the next best option?

That setting is built into CM10. Go to storage, then hit menu and USB configuration pops up. Select that. Select mass storage and back out. Now when you connect to PC both emmc and sdcard should show up as disk drives. The only app that I might use with that is my modified NookColorUMS app that I modified to work on CM9. It also works on CM10. Get it on my tips thread linked in my signature. And read about it in the second post in that thread. It allows you to mount any partition you want with UMS.

You might also look into using one of the transfer-over-wifi apps to get your data files onto Nook, I use WifiFileExplorer to this effect and never hassle with USB cords/connexions. Quick and sees everything.

Love Wifi File Explorer Pro. I haven't taken an sd card out of my devices in months.

Thanks
Beautiful, I didn't think to hit menu after I was in the storage settings. I'll check out the wifi explorer too. Thank you guys!
