Hi, i searched and couldnt find anything... I just installed ubuntu and have been dual-booting with windows Vista for several weeks now. My question is im a windows (redheaded step)child and im not too familiar with linux' inner workings yet...so i have not been doing anything to "safely remove" my G1 when in ubuntu, cuz i thought that such an option doesnt exist...problem is now i think ive corrupted all my data on my SDcard and i was just hoping that someone could tell me how to do this correctly in ubuntu? Do i hafta mount it, and THEN unmount it before i should unplug it? I dont even know if this is the problem, but ive been watching my logcat and it gives me some Dbus error when i plug in USB and it doesnt come up on the phone with option to mount SDcard, and windows doesnt recognize my device anymore. Pretty sure i corrupted my SD, im pretty sure i can fix it without help, if someone could just tell me the proper procedure for removing devices from ubuntu? thanks in advance...

I dual boot ubuntu on my mac OSX, which emulator are you using (fusion VM, virtualbox etc...?)
(1) When you've properly mounted your SD card it should show up on your ubuntu Desktop. Just go to Places > Desktop and you should be able to eject the SD card (two if you are partitioning them and AppstoSD) by pressing the "eject" button. The SD card should show up in the left window pane.
(2) Also, you probably have corrupted your SD card and are going to have to reformat it, losing all of your data.
(3) Somewhere in your emulator there should be a USB button to see which devices are plugged into your host computer, and which ever one you select your emulator will read.
(4) Finally, you don't provide enough information for a real answer...
(a) What ubuntu are you running?
(b) Do you have appstosd?
(c) have you done a nandroid backup?
(d) Which emulator/virtual environment are you running?
Hope this helps.
In Nautilus (the file manager) there will be a little orange eject symbol next to the drive. Clicking it will unmount the drive, which you should ALWAYS do before pulling any kind of removable media out of the socket. Unmounting is the *nix equivalent of "ejecting" in Windows.
If you're running a command line setup, the command to unmount is
Code:
sudo umount /media/(insert mount name here)
Hope that helps!
I too dual boot and noticed they i wouldn't get the "usb connected" on the G1. After some tweaking a few options; i noticed I would get the USB connected IF my usb debugging was ON. [settings- applications- developement- usb debugging]. I have to check for Ubuntu and uncheck for windows. I hope that helps
you see the problem is that ive never actually mounted my G1 in ubuntu, i just plugged it in to charge...so i never had to unmount it and theres no "safely remove" function, that i could find, so i figured that linux was just secure enough that it didnt require safely removing devices....oops...in answer to your questions, first im not running any VM...im ACTUALLY dual-booting. i have windows vista and ubuntu Jaunty running side-by-side, on a compaq presario f700. I DO have USB debugging ENABLED, and right now im running JF1.42rc33 still, im prolly gonna be wiping and upgrading to SOMETHING today, i was kinda just holding off cuz i like my theme, but my phones f-in up so nows as good a time as any to start fresh. I dont use a2sd, just my caches for market, browser, and maps are on sd. Ive been having trouble on my g/f's hp Pavilion pc running windows vista...we both have g1's and HERS is stock, unrooted, and she just got the OTA a couple days ago, since then the computer has been hating on MY phone, it says the drivers screwed and it wount bring up the option on my phone to mount the sdcard. hers still works fine, and mine still works fine hooked up to my laptop, just not hers...so i dunno if THATS a cupcake issue or if its cuz i didnt remove it from ubuntu right...im gonna format my sd AND wipe my phone, and ill get back to you guys moentarily, thanks for all your replies.
-BMFC
If all you were doing is charging, and you didn't mount it, then your original assumption was correct. You don't need to unmount something that was never mounted.

ok well then somebody help me out with this: i have tried for two days to get my sdcard to format, and IT JUST WONT. I cant get it to even be recognized by my girlfriends computer, but her G1 running UNrooted TMOCupcake still works fine, kinda makes me wonder if hers didnt get some kinda updated driver packed with it? The cupcake, i mean, not the phone...i dunno. Anyways my phone WONT mount in ubuntu at all, it shows up but when i try to mount it it says "No media on Volume" and wont open it at all. so in windows it ACTS like its doin everything i want it to do...i tried to format my sd yesterday and i sat here and watched it the whole time, and when it finshed it said: "Format Completed SUCCESSFULLY." so i SAFELY REMOVED IT, unplugged and plugged back the usb, and when it came up EVERYTHING WAS STILL THERE!!!! my problem seems to be my sdcard/doom folder...it tells me that the folder \doom is ENTIRELY UNREADABLE.
ahem...on a side note, all these things happened at once...(same day)
1. My g/f got the OTA cupcake update...
2. I updated some apps from the market, the one that im suspecting right now is called "Cards(-)" by Coderminus. After i updated it, i went to play Doom, and instead of playing like usual, when i hit the "Play" button, it just exitted to home. So i checked my logcat and the Cards(-) app caused ALL KINDS of runtime errors, and so i uninstalled this app.
3. My market starts crashing all of a sudden. I cleared the cache and it SEEMED to fix it...for now.
4. Uninstalled Doom (ver. 1.29.666) and then went and deleted my doom folder.(I thought) Reinstalled newest version of Doom (ver. 1.31.666)
5. Tried to redownload the WADs to play, and i could get it to play, as long as i didnt try to download the sound files. Everytime i tried to get the sounds, it would act fine, but then when id go to play the game itd just exit to home again....
6. Repeated step 5. like 6 times....
This was all like 2 days ago? 3 days ago? and ive been messing with it ever since, and my PHONE is fine, but my SDCARD appears to be, for lack of a better term, ****ED. i cant even format it, ive tride 3 times, it just all comes right back when i plug it back in...i even tried to put an update.zip in my sdcard and update from JF1.42RC33 to (I was gonna try Dude's 1.2b) so i put that in there, and removed it and when i went into my file manager on the g1, the update wasnt there! i cannot seem to be able to make ANY changes to my sd...SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Try ti format your card from within your phone. Unfortunately that's the only issue I can help you with.
Edit: try doing a system wipe on your girlfriends phone from the recovery menu. It should solve the crashes. You will wave to reinstall all your apps tho.

I...didnt even know that was possible...im not seein any options to do that...you know some terminal commands for that or somethin? Cus when i got into my file manager (i use aFile, cuz it has wireless transfer) i cant even delete anything from there, ANY folder i try to delete it just says "Failed to delete (folder name)"...so if you know how to do that then hook me up and ill try it...
-BMFC
EDIT: i think you misunderstood, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG with my girlfriends phone...its just that she got the US OTA and it happened at the same time as all this other, so i thought maybe it might have had some effect on how mine interfaces with her comp...honestly i doubt it, but until someone tells me im wrong im not ruling it out...
On your phone Goto your settings menu, sdcard and phone memory, unmount your card and then select format
No dice, seems you may be on a diff. ROM than me, i dont have that option, i unmount the card, and thats all that happens, it unmounts it...no format option...
-BMFC
Damn that sucks. Does your girls phone have that option? I wish I could help you out. But I'm at a loss
Sdcard IMPOSSIBLE TO FORMAT....need ADVANCED help!!!
hi i posted a thread here for help, and i did so cuz i need help from someone INTELLIGENT. The mods have now moved my post to the "General section" of the dream forum, where i cant get **** for help. The reason i didnt just post in that section, where it goes, is CUZ NO ONE CAN OR WILL HELP ME OVER THERE....i need a devs help or somethin...THATS why i posted in the dev section...cus its pointless to try to get support from end users...i might as well just sit in the bedroom with NO COMPUTER asking MYSELF what the answer is...so first off id like to thank the AWESOME mods here for burying my post head-high in a section that i cant get any support in, EVER. THEN, id like to ask some dev(s) or SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY INTELLIGENT, please go to
this thread
and read, and im BEGGING you for help!!! To whoever helps me figure this out i would gladly donate to WHATEVER cause you have!!!! Honestly, if you ONLY read MY posts, you wont miss anything important, except some guy with the SAME SKILL LEVEL AS ME telling me to wipe SOMEBODY ELSES PHONE and see if that works...****.
SOMEONE PLEASE try to help me out before the AWESOME mods here at xda move this post, too. Im not sorry im posting in the wrong secrtion cuz this is where the help is and thats REALLY what i need right now. So MODS, you can move my posts all day long, ill just make a new one linking to the old one till i get some support...suspend me...BAN me, i dont care, ill just keep coming back with new usernames and accounts until i get some help, cuz THATS WHAT THE F*CK SUPPORT FORUMS ARE FOR. Im really pissed at whatever mod moved my post, cuz the SECOND i posted that thread initially, i got like 4 or 5 replies, thats why i LOVE this forum, cuz it has GREAT SUPPORT, when you can actually get your question seen by a dev, that is. but as soon as my post got moved i got several replies from one DUMBASS that was TRYING to help, and ill give him that he was just tryin to help, but i have a problem with my phone, and this guy tells me i should WIPE MY GIRLFRIENDS PHONE. WOW. Just wow. Someone please go read my problem and post there, or post here, with some answers....MODS PLEASE DONT MOVE THIS THREAD I AM TRYING TO GET SOME HELP!!!!
-BMFC
yea *****ing like a 4 year old will you nowhere. no one owes you anything.
If you have a camera, try using that to format your memory card. Hope it works.
lol ok first off take it easy on the mods here, i'm speaking of your other post, they try to keep these forums clean and it isnt an easy job all things considered.
the way i see it you have 2 options.
1. Throw your card in a digital camera and use the camera to format it. I works most the time when a computer wont, several times my pc wouldn't recognize/format a card but my ****ty digital camera had no problem.
2. if that doesn't work, splurge the $8.99(or less) it costs to get a new sd.
I've even seen 8gig class 6 cards for around $20 and 4gig class 4 cards for $10.
edit: wow just a min too late
Hey guys,
first, im sorry for opening a new thread, but none of the other threads helped me.
I bought a HTC Touch 3G Clone in China:
ROM: 2.706.2
QUALCOMM 7225
528 Mhz
RAM: 192MB
NEXPERIA SY.SOL 5209
Windows 6.5 Chinese
HardSLP doesn't work. It cant get a connection to the phone, although ActiveSync has one.
Then i tried to upgrade with my 1gb sd-card. But none of the button-combinations of this forum work.
I tried some other comb. and found three of them:
green button + red button + power --> reset config
vol up + vol down + power --> calibration screen
vol up + red button + power --> a white screen with "downloading"-label
vol down + red button + power --> a green/white screen saying: Checking valid image file
I think the last one is important to install a new rom. After 10 seconds it says:
Step 3 error while updating
Card operate: read retry timeout
Then i tried several rom-versions posted here. Nothing happens.
I just want an english operating system...
I really hope someone can help me. Its driving me crazy...
Thank you for your help.
Buddy close this thread & go 2 Touch 3G General -where u have posted ur thread- & read other threads, many can help.
HSPL does not work 4 cloams!! & also u can't use those custom ROMs on cloam!
check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580367&page=3 but make the "hxxp" correct!
Also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657212 links.
Search more, u will find stuff. If u follow the General forum related 2 cloams (clones) u will get more! U shall use a ROM working 4 cloam. Mine is T3238+, I'll try 2 help as far as my knowledge lets me!
Thank you for your help.
Sure, I can post my problem there. But I already read them and it didnt help. I tried both of the ROM-files. I get the same error:
Step 3 error while updating
Card operate: read retry timeout
I have a 1GB sd-card, formated in standart windows-fat-format.
I think there must be another button-combination for the update mode.
But like i said none of the combinations mentioned in the board work, and there are plenty of them...
In your second link I have seen:
3) Boot into TF Update Mode by holding the Green + Confirm + Red + Power Button
I tried it, nothing happens (if the confirm button ist the round big one in the middle)... What should I do?
Hi again,
Yes, confirm = big button; only use the ROMs 4 cloam phones not those 4 real 1s.
Seems that ur phone starts reading the file but stops in the middle, this means u have gone 2 update mode, only it can't continue; try another SD card.
-- Mine is Touch 3G T3238+. By far NO key comb. has worked 4 me. Seems that these cloams don't have a booter like other 1s.
I turned off my phone -> connected it 2 PC w/ WMDC -> Vol. down + green + power => a menu screen appeared!! w/ options like "update OS", "update logo" & ...
C if this works 4 u, though "update OS" did not work on my phone but mine has sum other problems 2, so u give it a try.
-- Turn ur phone off, insert the SD & just turn it on normally, this shall start reading SD.
Don't make the card as FAT 32 (though not possible!), only FAT or FAT 16.
Don't put the ROM in a folder on SD, let it be on the root directory.
-- Once open SD w/ ur phone -as u open e.g. "My document" - & c what message it shows? Does it even read the card??
Thank you very much for your help. I finally made it.
The trick ist to use a ROM with a .bin-format and rename it to "k3img.bin"
The update mode doesnt accept other names.
I flashed my phone to windows mobile 6.1 eng. version.
Now i have a bunch of other problems. Bad key mapping, no camera... and the biggest problem: the phone doesnt find any storage cards.
Under Settings-System-Memory it says: "Total storage card memory: Not installed".
What can i do? I need that extra storage.... And now i cant get into the update mode because windows deleted the old button map. Tried any combination, doesnt work.
Please help.
Hi again,
Well, I am a noob myself!! unfamiliar w/ these phones!! but I think keys problem is bcoz of the ROM; though it is installed, but it's not the proper 1!
Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=662170&highlight=QUALCOMM seems that this "first aid" has helped!!
Trying another ROM, BUT now that u can't use SD ......!! also the PC does not run .bin or .upr files!! Mayb if u change the file 2 .exe, it gets installed (of course after sync.!)
2 get 2 update mode, c if connecting 2 PC (my prev. post) does any good!!
I don't know any way; In sum days I shall go 2 the phone service center 4 my phone; I'll ask 2 c if they knew any way & [/I]if if they let me know about it[/I]!!

Hey, I finally got it! I installed WM 6.5 ROM and my SD Card works! Key mapping is bad and the cam doesnt work but I dont really need it. The storage card was important. Now im really happy.

If somebody experience the same problems, I can explain in detail what I have done!
WOOO.........W, SO HAPPY 4 u I wish u find another ROM in future 2 make other stuff work 2!

hi i have the same trouble in a t3238 clone, i need to change the rom but i cant, can you help me writing step by step all procedure ? and where can to find the .bin roms = thanks
Hi all,
So last week I had a perfectly rooted phone (thanks to Universal Androot), and I was managing my ROM's with ROMManager. I had Cyanogenmod running fine (update 5.08 i think). I swapped memory cards because the one i was using had a lot of other files on it, and i wanted to move my apps to SD. Turns out that I accidently booted into Hboot, and that SD card had the SAPPIMG.zip that prevented touch screen interaction (from [theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/] I had tried to make a goldcard previously without success using this guide)). I accidently flashed a perfected SPL (meaning i get remote:not allow when using fastboot flash). Because the touchscreen doesnt work, i cant even make a goldcard. I have followed other guides on how to make it with a windows phone, but the phone that i used (Vogue) was not recognized by both HTC Sync and PSAS/QMAT. So i turned to my own computer and looked through the registry...and found some random 32 digit key for my memory card when it was plugged in to my memory card reader. Apparently, I did something right with PSAS and it generated a goldcard image. It was saved as a file, so i renamed it to goldcard.img and put it on the now formatted SD. I got an engineering SPL (from [forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4332591&postcount=1]) and it seemed to load up fine in Hboot. However, at the end, i got the "Model ID incorrect" message. This is where my phone stands:
Sapphire Unknown 32B Ship S-On-G
Hboot-1.33.0006 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
Radio-2.2219.261

Any help on how to flash my phone onto a working (touch reponding) ROM would be greatly appreciated(either stock or custom, IDC)!
TY
Model incorrect error means that your goldcard isn't working. You got a friend with an Android phone that you could borrow to remake the goldcard? That would probably be your best bet.
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
Thanks for the response!
Lol yeah. I realized that after I left (I dont have internet at home so I have to do all this stuff at the library). I don't think that any of my friends (the ones I've seen over the summer, anyway) have an android phone. I guess Ill just have to leave my phone as it is cuz I still have a working blackberry.
To add another twist into this fail, my dad works for T-Mobile. I made the mistake of telling him that I was hacking it, and now he refuses to let me repair it, saying they can track his employee number and find out that he bought it to begin with. T.T
Look around here or search for the Gold Card exe that works so much better at making a gold card.
I tried so many different MiniSD cards in my phone (3-4 2 gigs, 1 8 gig, 1 16 gig) NONE worked with the regular gold card creation method. I used the EXE one time on a card that didn't work before and it made the card no problem.
Thanks for the reply!
If you're talking about the GoldCardTool by Klutsh, I've tried that. The problem is that I cant enable USB Debugging because my touchscreen doesnt work and it wants me to touch the android to setup the phone. Therefore none of the adb commands will work.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

That sucks, so I also assume the trackball doesn't work for moving around?
lol
Umm, when I hold down the power button, the shutdown menu comes up, except that it only has powerdown as an option. I CAN use the trackball to click on it. However, if I use the trackball to select emergency dialer, it force closes.
If that helps at all...
More Fails Abound
Lol. I figured out why I could not make a gold card, and now I have one (I think). The reason I am not sure is because I still get Model ID incorrect. I think that the goldcard is made properly, because i can open up the memory card and see the EncFiltLog.menc. I have tried multiple methods (PSAS with a windows phone to make an image file; PSAS to get the SD card CID and then using the reverser and the revskills and hexedit to make the goldcard). I have tried this on two different memory cards (both have the EncFiltLog.menc) and both are recognized by the computer (which according to TheUnlockr, means they are working). Any solution as to why the goldcard isnt working?
Thanks
Final request
Could someone please just ship me a goldcard that they know works?
Thanks
PM if you can
ok... i know i've posted alot about this.... bt this is like a mega thread which will give every detail..
specifications before the problem:-
wildfire 2.1 -
8gb kingston class 2 -
uninor (India)(network provider) -
[bought the phone and used my vodafone card till like 1 month then switched to uninor]
i was using the stock rom(but rooted) till dec 20th
The problem:-
When the froyo update came out i installed danne_jo's safe flashable version of the stock rom ... no problems with that... then tried the wildpuzzle 0.6..no problem with that either..bt i switched back to my vodafone card in the 1st week of jan(due to connectivity issues on uninor)...thats when all the problems started... the moment i switched on the data connection... my phone would just freeze..if not immediately then when im surfing or using an app that connects to the internet...or any high memory app...even the home and back buttons would stop giving me vibrations even though i had overclocked my phone to 691/254-710/254 MHz (performance mode)....i continued trying to fix it for 2 days...then got my sim replaced... no luck even der... the phone hangs even with the new card... tried other vodafone sim cards(mother's , brother's, friend's)... the same result everytime...bt when i put my uninor simcard in my phone.... everything works great... even the data connection.... so i started posting on the forum... got great help from 3xeno and daddyspud... they told me to do different tests so that they could pinpoint the problem...this is what all i did and their results
** phone works fine if i have the data connection switched off... no problem using wifi or bluetooth, also it works fine when i dont have any apps installed...
1. flashed the 2.1 RUU and rooted the phone again (2 times)- no change
2. tried different roms - again the same result
3. the sim works fine on stock(atleast better..)
4. everytime the uninor sim worked fine without any lags or freezes
5 . even tried different radios..bt no luck even after that
conclusions i drew from all this:-
1) first i thought that it was coz of apps2sd as its not recommended to use a class 2 card...bt then y does it work fine with the uninor sim in it...??? (weird right??)... and even if it was then how could apps2sd be affected by sim card or data connection??
2) then i thought that it might be because of the network.. bt i confirmed with 3xeno...coz he's also a vodafone customer in India and doesn't face this problem...
3) then i thought that it was coz of froyo...bt 3xeno again confirmed that it wasn't the problem..
4) talked at HTC customer center... they told me to do a hard reset i.e. HBOOT>clear storage
5) then yesterday i jus remembered that once when i was messing around with my phone i had clicked the SIM LOCK option in the HBOOT menu(i was using the uninor sim at that time)..bt according to me nothing happened because every line that came after that ended with the word 'failed'.. i also read a thread on the same.. and it said that it didnt coz any problem if u accidentally clicked on that ...
link to that thread:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765420
... bt 3xeno thinks that, it's the source of the problem, and i pretty much do agree to it coz everythings pointing towards that only
* there's also something i'd like to bring to notice... today i installed wildpuzzle v0.8(cache on phone by default).. my phone performed better..bt still did hang......
* Also... when i change my sim cards... i get a notification saying" sim card changed... change the following settings?" which include bookmarks, etc.. nothing major.. it gives 3 options 1.yes 2. no,later 3.no....
now i seriously dont know what the problem is..3xeno thinks its coz of the sim lock stupidity i did..... coz i've tried everything in my knowledge to fix this, i've busted my brains out,sleepless nights sitting in front of my laptop,waititng 4 someone to reply to my posts,i'm really tired, bt im in no mood to give up..... plz its my request to all the devs and anyone who can help me to plz atleast look into this problem...
Thanks to anyone and everyone who have already helped me and are goint to help me!!!!!
common guys!!!! not even a single reply..... plz help me!!!

see the problem you are having is something that is not so common and the second thing is that you have the full knowledge of flashing custom roms aswell as shipped roms.. and since you have tried all the possible methods there might me some defect in your device, that is what i think....
anyways .. i hope you find the answer to your problem.... best of luck
Just a very basic idea - i'm far from beeing a dev.
But it looks to me that your phone thinks (at least partial) that it is simlocked. Can't you try to unlock it using a goldcard and see what it gives?
Don't know how to create such a card or if it would work - it is just an idea.

i read the gold card procedure( http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/ )... bt the thing that i dont understand is what to do after i create the gold card??? also i've got 2 SD cards... one of 512 mb...with this card i reach the end of the procedure bt fail as the card requires formatting... and the other card is sandisk 8gb class 2... with that i cannot get ahead of the 'cat' command.. as it gives me no such file found...

Strange, I just did the same thing, and it works well with me.. sure you didn't mistype it?
I believe that, if you've successfully created a gold card, you can put it in your phone (perhaps reboot?), connect your phone to the computer with usb debugging enabled and than you are allowed to flash any RUU.
But I beleve that is the weak point of my solution: you have already tried (and succeeded) in flashing a RUU (which would not work if your simlocked, I beleve).
But you have nothing to lose, so you can try I think. I have no other ideas than that.
Succes!

After rooted the official gingerbread my device was never the same.
Let me try to explain what is happening to see if someone can help.
Official roms:
When I turn my device to PC via USB and then choose the option Mount USB Storage what happens is in the device the Android stays Green with the option below to mount storage, the SD card is apparently un-mounted from device but in the PC I can see the SD card content normally and see it as a removable storage drive
Custom roms:
When I turn my device to PC via USB and then choose the option Mount USB Storage what happens is in the device the Android stays Green with the option below to mount storage, the SD card is apparently un-mounted from device but in the PC I can see the SD card content but can’t make any changes as it opens up as a CD drive. Imagine you put a CD/DVD in your drive you can see all the files but you cannot write on it.
What can I do as seems to be a deep system alteration that won’t change by doing anything at all such as flashing new roms, changing complete content of pink screen, factory resets, etc, etc.
Can someone plz help me with this?
try this with cm7
settings->about phone->project menu->USE GOOGLE USB
I stuck with 2.3 official again!!!
I think I going to deliver my phone to TMN and say that got ****ed up after official upgrade instalation
I've read somewhere that the TMN ones (or some of them) are called "black sheep" since they have some problems (installing other roms I think), maybe your problems where there all along and the updates brought them to the surface...
Yeah, send it back
Yes I know, but I got lucky as my device is like a Hummer.Mine is not.
Goes over of it all, until I messed up... lolol
druida did you format the sd card on the pc and chnage the partition size?
I have the device partitions resized months ago.
yes card was formated and formated and formated.

I have a so called "black sheep" and official 2.3.5 is rooted and runnin' flawlessly.
try revert to 2.2.2 using internal sd card.
I got it at last doing this:
Dial * # * # 2846579 # * # *
Background Setting > USB ports setting > choose "Normal Mode" and then rebooted.
The option that was by default and was giving me all this trouble was "Manufacture mode".
Tried to choose "Google Mode" but after reboot revert back to "Manufacture mode" again.
This way every time I connect the USB and choose the option Mount Usb Storage the SD was getting unmounted in the device but in the PC was showing as removable disk giving me full access.
When I unplug the cable I had to mount the card again.
****ing weird!!!!

no they are not (me +2other friends have such phones). it's hapenning the same as before: people messing up.
Well, this problem is not related to 2.3.5 update, but with updates in general, 'cause i have it about a month ago. Same thing as you, but if U use a 2.2 custom ROM (flb or void) you should mount usb properly. If U go to device manager you will see that the drivers aren't properly installed.
Altough I don´t know the exact time, i think my probelm begins when after flashing a ROM I got the blue screen and needed to install b138 elisa. I guess after we get a blue screen the phone never is the same.
BTW i got 0 imei. And have an theory to this to. The IMEI are related to an operator, so when flashing a official rom not from operator, maybe the phone goes crazy and the IMEI begins to shown 0, it's not a big deal, since we can communicate normally with people.
so how do I install the drivers correctly?
I found a way to revert from 2.3 and I'm in MIUI again but USB issue still there shiiiiiiit

I d0n't lnow, i don't have an solution, I install some drivers that are in huawei server, but with no luck.
The main point is: using a 2.2 rom, all ok, upgrade to a 2.3 rom, and U have problems, so the problem it's not on pc and in hardware, the problem somehow is software.
What I'm wondering it's that the official 2.3.5 help with this problem, but with your report the hope dissapear...
yes the problem is in the device nt in PC.
I think its missing the adb USB drivers inside the device.
and yes its software problem not hardware
Druida69,
Is your IMEI 0 ?
Do you have wifi ERROR in 2.3 Custom Roms ?
I have that USB problem since I tried to format SD Card directly from the mobile, with CM7... all problems started there... and there is another user over here that made the same with MIUI.

ME! Me Me! lol
I have this problem, but don't have problems with wi-fi, my imei is 0 also, but if you use custom or stock 2.2 the usb works fine, so don't think that the problem is caused by formating the sd... I guess is that the libraries in 2.3 somehow changed, i guess the libraries from geno changed a while ago, and therefore this bug appears. It's not for everyone 'cause we all know that x5 have personnality, so...
regarding IMEI yes its 0.
I don't know when it happen and how it was before as I never look for it, up to this moment.
Regarding the USB, I think start to happen when I tried to root the official 2.3.
All drivers in computer are fine as I uninstall them and install all again just to make sure.
Something change something deep inside the phone software and mess all of it.
I manage to do a shortcut though. In official 2.3 you can mount usb storage again if you do this:
dial *#*#2846579#*#*
then you will be inside Project Menu.
Go to Background setting > USB ports setting and you will see these options:
Normal Mode
Google Mode
CTS test mode
Manufacture mode
Authentication mode
Other Mode
By default all systems are with Google Mode activated.
Change to Normal Mode and it solve the problem.
If you try to change this option in CM7 for example, won't work, odd but I don't know why...
Hello !
This USB issue happens to me since CM7 (imei 0, wifi error...). And it happens with all roms (even 2.2.2 stock rom)
I can use usb storage, but in the end I have to manualy mount card again.
With 2.3.5 Official I went into Project Menu and was already in Manufacture Mode, if I change it to Google Mode everything works normally... but after a reset setup returns back to Manufacture Mode.
It is a solution... temporary... but it is

As I said before, this problem, regardeless appears more often now, it's not related with the update to official 2.3.5 since I and at least to people more, have this problem before official beta rom appears... It is related to the process of upgrading any rom, and I think it happens when we get a pink screen...
