Mounting USB and SD Card problems - Acer Iconia A500

Hey guys, I am having a bit of issues trying to get the Internal Storage to connect properly to my computer. I rooted and flashed RA Recovery yesterday and flashed Protekk's AOKP ROM, but now I'm not able to plug my tablet into my computer.
I thought it wouldn't work without USB drivers, so I tried to install them, but all it's giving is three quick beeps (the beep you hear when a USB device is connected).
I looked in the thread, but nobody mentioned a big issue like that, so I think there may be something that I am doing wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I'd also like to add that when I plug it into the computer, the USB Debugging icon appears on the tablet, so it's still getting somewhat recognized.

[Q] USB doesn't work

Hi
Yesterday I S-Offed my Wildfire and instelled CM7 rom.
But today I wanted to transfer some music to my phone and i couldn't do it.
When i plug USB cable into PC, my phone just charges and can't do anything more because phone doesn't show that it is plugged by USB. Just USB debugging turns on but I can't transfer anything to my phone.
Yesterday it was all OK but I flashed google apps and Jacob's kernel(v4.2). Maybe that is a problem.
I'm waiting for advice
I have a similar problem.
The phone also shows connect via usb option.
But on doing that, the phone does not show up on my pc.
When I go to "Disk Management" in computer management on windows 7, the disk shows up but I can't assign a drive letter to it and hence it is not accesible.
Can any1 help with the problem ?
Forgot to mention.
The problem does not appear when I connect my wildfire to my mac.
It shows up as as a disk drive when mounted.
I had a similar problem after installing CM7 so I got Multi Mount Sd-Card Lite from the market, put the widget on homescreen and click it each time i mounted my usb.
Hope it solves your problem!

Don't flash Jacob's Kernel v4.2. Keep the stock one.
Thanks for advices
I re-installed CM7 and kept kernel which comes with rom.
Now I have NO problem with that.
So it was kernel problem.

USB problem with HTC Desire HD

Hey guys,
I currently recently installed a custom ROM from this website and for some reason now when I plug in my USB into my PC it comes up not being detected so when I put my phone as hard drive so I want to transfer music, it doesn't detect it. Can anybody help me if this is ROM problem or just my USB?
Hey,
Okay I disabled USB debugging didn't know it was on, still doesn't work says windows cannot find USB device not reconginzed when I connect the USB. For the Reinstalling usb driver I do not know how to this ~?
i have the same problem.. turn "fast boot" off and restart the phone.. this always works for me.. hope this helps
Hey, I turned fastboot off. Doesn't work. I ordered new usb cable.. hopefully this works and it was just a fault with the cable!
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Usually this is a problem with the cable. Simple, cheap to fix. Keep your old cable around for charging though (nice to have a spare)
Is this problem with the USB still active?
If so try a different PC just in order to eliminate WinOS issues.
If not close.
Hi,
I have the same problem at some months ago. I tried the cable and pfone on another PC, and it works fine. So, I recommend to try it on another PC and reinstall your Windows.
brgs,
Herold
Had the same propblem! Turns out it was the usb cable, it charged fine with the cable but data transfer didnt work.
i also had the same problem since last week and still cant resolve till now...i try all the option that u gave(change cable/pc,turn off fastboot)....i even sent my phone to shop and they still cant detect.they said maybe the usb port is damage or some software that may block my usb port?is it true? anyone can help?????

USB BRICK in my INSPIRE 4G ( DESIRE HD)
Hi, all
I got a new inspire 4g last week.( equivalent to desire hd ). It was working fine. But now it does not detect the USB connection. It only charges when I connect to pc. No other issues. I have also noticed that during fast boot mode also pc does not recognize the phone as device. I have tried all the suggestion on xda but no luck.
As fastboot is also not detected by PC I could not format mtd0 and reconfigure it.
Can anybody have any other idea? If I change the main board how much cost will incur ??
Thanks all.

First of all.. you have HTC Sync installed right?
Happened to me initially as well.. although for me changing the cable and/or changing the USB port on the PC solved the issue. Have you tried these?
Also sometimes killing all apps on the device before connecting helped.
You can try accessing your device through ADB to see if its being detected.
And I really dont think you'll need to change the main board..
USB brick on my Inspire 4G
Thanks for your reply. When I go the phone ADB and Fastboot were working
well. There was no driver issue. Now even PC also does not detect the phone or any new hardware when I connect it to pc. I had working fastboot on both win7 and Linux (ubuntu) pc. Now in both OS the phone is not detectable. Windows device manager does not see any new hardware when I connect my inspire . dmesg also does not show my hardware when I connect my inspire to linux pc.
Please help or suggest me to investigate further. I know how to install and work with adb and fastboot as well as Clockwork recovery ( also ext recovery). Some people suggested to flash a new radio. I can flash the new radio via sdcard. But how safe is it ? My phone is S-off and made unbranded. Will flashing a new radio make my phone locked AT&T again? ????
Thanks a lot

As far as I know.. USB problem has no relation whatsoever to Radio. Radio is only concerned with the signal stuff. Flashing it isn't that risky if you follow the instructions... There's a thread in the development section about Radio's which explains it pretty nicely.
As for the USB problem, are you using a Custom ROM? Some ROMs like LeeDroid have USB detection problem which can be solved simply by flashing a different kernel like LordMod's.
What I meant by "Accessing through ADB" was if commands like "adb remount" or any adb command as such are working when your phone is connected to the PC? Or is it showing "error: device not found"?

[Q] USB Mount or Mass Storage not working on MT4G

The probem:
USB Mass Storage not working in Recovery. I tried everything, reflashing different recovery but its not working, it doesn't give an error message. When card is not inside however it does complain. SdCard is fine because I can flash zips that are on it. Tested on both windows and ubuntu. tried another card as well
USB Mount doesn't work in CM7.2 or any rom or nand restore i've done recently. I had Insomnia at some point, then inferno, then cm 7.1, none of these restores work. Again here no errors, I do not even see the sign for usb detection. usb debugging is enabled/disabled no difference. phone however still charges though.
I'm on a trip right now, but I've not had the chance yet to get another usb cable but the two I have dont work.

it's not ur usb port
it's htc.. htc devices doesn't support usb host feature.
If you have a rom and kernal that do support usb host then try powering the usb as the htc devices do not provide power out.. use usb Y cable

What? He isn't trying to host the connection. He is trying to use his phone as a USB mass storage device.

Hi all,
I am having the same problem, except perhaps with a different cause. My user account on Windows 7 became corrupt and I can no longer log in, so I had to create a new one.
On the new account, my myTouch 4G is not recognized for mass storage/disk drive mode via USB. The USB cable does work, the port is okay, and I've used both with other devices. The myTouch shows as charging when connected to the computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all of the myTouch drivers, restarted computer and phone, to no avail.
When it is connected in USB, it shows as generic "Drive F" and is inaccessible. When I check properties it says mytouch4g. When I check "Devices" it is recognized as portable storage. I have tried with USB debugging on and off, and have set "connected to computer" mode to disk drive.
Any thoughts? I thought possibly loading the generic ADB driver again might help, but I cannot get to the stage where I can force it to load that driver instead of the HTC one.

[Q] My phone cannot connect to Computer, help me please...

Hey guys, has anyone face this problem like me. I'm not sure what I did wrong with my phone, but when I connect via USB cable to computer it doesn't recognize my phone. Usually, when we connect it to computer it will pop up saying that "Charge Only" and USB Debugged Connecting. But for me my phone nothing happen, just normal charging.
I tried to switch to various different ROM from Gingerbread to ICS and ICS to HTC Sense 3.5, but still the same. Still not recognize by the computer.
Help me please...
Still kinda a noob so I may sound stupid for this but do u have the correct drivers for the phone installed on your computer

Is it possible that you disabled the pop up?
If it doesn't seem to be a software problem, have you tried using a different USB cable? This would be the most likely problem for you, in my opinion.

The driver came on the root of you sd card when the phone was new. If that doesn't work try pdanet
Sent from my MyTouch 4G using xda app-developers app
Well, I already tried all these ways. Still not working. I even try to restore to the previous back up that the SD card is working by that time. But nothing happen still. Look like it is a hardware problem.:laugh:
Have you looked at the device manager for devices with an exclamation point? Make sure you have the "show hidden devices" checked.
On your pc re-install the phone driver but first uninstall the original driver through control panel>programs. After the uninstall, plugging in your phone to your PC should bring up the unknown device pop up (then the new hardware installation dialogue). If not then the pc isn't picking up your phone, check the cable, maybe try a different cable/ usb port.
If all else fails, some mytouch custom roms on these forums borked usb, there was a workaround for that, something you could flash. I remember seeing it in some of the threads... Wish I could remember the name. It was around Cyanogen 7.1 mods/ports (before rc 7.2 was out). Maybe somebody else remembers..

It could be a failed USB connector in the phone. Much, much higher probability than "borked USB". Especially if he installed several custom ROMs and didn't have anything.
Very easy to tell:
Boot to bootloader (power off, then power on + Volume Down), choose "FASTBOOT" (with VolDown and Power buttons), connect USB. If you'll see "FASTBOOT USB" showing up instead of "FASTBOOT" - it means USB is working. If not - most likely USB plug in the phone is dead, or something wrong with your computer's USB ports.
you need to install the HTCdriver before connected the myTouch to computer. I think I downloaded it from the official myTouch 4g website, some mytouches have it in their sd card...

Hi, I've tried your suggestion. And the Fastboot USB didn't pop up. So that mean something wrong with it. Do you have any solution for this. Appreciate your help.
If no "install driver" or "unrecognized device" popped up at the computer - just to be sure, try a different computer. If still nothing pops up on the computer - it means you have to fix the USB socket of the phone, and it means you have to submit it to a lab (unless you're good with micro-soldering and have all the tools, including microscope - but it doesn't seem to be the case). It's a physical problem, and can't be solved with software - no builds/ROMs/etc can make metal contact

You are right. I think it is the hardware problem too. Because I just got a Micro USB port broken and I went to the phone repairer to fix it. After I got it back for a couple day and flash new ROM. The USB is no longer working. Will return it to them.
Thanks for your time
I had the same problem. I just formated the system and then flashed the same room and that worked for me. Hope it helps

[Q] Windows will not recognize Note 3 anymore, help please!

Hey guys,
Just recently, my PC and any other PC Ive tried for that matter will not recognize my Note 3. I had Windows 7 and it worked fine for months, then just the other day it came up on the bottom as USB Device Not Recognized, and no matter what I do it will not do so. Yesterday, I upgraded to Windows 8.1 and still the same result. I have installed Kies 3, uninstalled and resintalled Samsung drivers and still nothing. I am running a custom rom in the stock slot using Safestrap...is it possible that that might have messed up something? Even when the cord is plugged into the PC, the phone doesnt come up with anything notification that it's plugged in, but it does say it is charging. If any of you have any tips or something please help because I am at my wits end.
Thanks
Have you tried with another cord?
Computer doesn't see device... Device doesn't detect plug in... Sounds like a bad USB cord

Yes, actually I have and still nothing...forgot to mention that in the original post.
It's a strange problem which leads me to believe that something has gone wrong in the phone, or that I caused something to go wrong by flashing a rom or three, since it did work previously. Unfortunately, I'm at status: Custom, although my Knox is 0x0.

Yes, this shows as disabled. What should this be?
Can't help you solve your problem, but last night I had a hiccup where I plugged my (17 day old) N3 into my computer in a USB2 port and ... nothing at all. (As if it were electrically disconnected - no "unknown devices" showing)
Tried it in a different USB2 port, and ... nothing.
Tried in in a USB 3.0 port - same computer, same OEM cord - and everything was fine. As far as I knew, nothing had changed on either end of things, although the previous evening I had used a different OTG cable for a USB key with the phone, and I had also had a automatic update of the Samsung Push Service on the phone. Nothing had been plugged into the PC's usb ports since it's prior cold boot. (Win 7 x64 Pro).
This morning (both PC and phone have been rebooted), everything is back to normal - both on the phone and the PC. Both the USB2 and USB3 ports all seem fine.
Ugh. Makes me nervous - brand new hardware.
Boot into Odin mode THEN plug the device in, let windows find the drivers for it then once that's done, reboot the phone regularly and see if it works then. It appears to be an issue with most to ALL Samsung devices, but this worked for my wife's galaxy S3 when the computer wouldn't recognize it and the phone didn't detect a PC connection.

Thank you! Worked perfectly!
I have the same problem, do you have any solutions ? Thanks.
I too have been struggling with this problem. The is no USB symbol in the notifications area on my phone whether I plug into to my computer at work (Win7) or at home (Win7), using a usb3 cable or a usb2 cable. Its as if there was a setting on my phone that allows recognition when plugged into a computer that has been turned off.Is there such a setting? I would love some help on this as well. Thanks in advance! I am rooted with towel root and have had no problems until last week. When I look in the device manager on my computer it shows :
SAMSUNG Android Phone
SAMSUNG Android ADB interface
I tried uninstalling the above and then plugging my phone back in and it re-installs the same driver shown above.
For what it is worth here are the drivers for SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface:
c:\windows\system32\DRIVERS\winusbsys
c:\windows\system32\WdfCoinstaller01007.dll
c:\windows\system32\WinUSBCoinstaller.dll
Should I be using different drivers ? Thanks|!
please help!
any solution yet? i have same problem, no usb detection and camera wont work i want to flash stock rom whit odin but i cant get the computer to recognize my phone...
I was able to fix the usb recognition problem. i had to do a factory restore. I lost root but gained usb recognition AND the Over the Air update to 4.4.4 and patiently awaiting the update to 5.0 hopefully this month!
