SD card won't show up on Windows Explorer

I've tried everything I can think of doing here, but no matter what I do, my phone won't connect via USB Mass Storage to my computer. I'm trying to update to the newest firmware (1.5 right?), can I do it directly from my phone? Help please

Look in disk management, see if its showing up in there.

I have the same problem, but I know mine is because the SD card got corrupted somehow. The problem is now , i dont know how to format it!! Windows cant read it and G-Phone's format pretty much did nothing. Im not sure where to go from here..... :S

Have you tried clicking on the 'USB Connected' Notification on the phone and mounting the card?

ClockworkMod and mounting USB?

Hey all,
So I just ran ClockworkMod (2.5.13) and wiped my Vibrant in preparation for the new Bionix. I have found that on my phone I had to wipe sdcard too or it wouldn't wipe fully. The problem: ClockworkMod won't let me mount USB storage or mount sdext so I can't figure out how to get the new ROM on the phone. Voodoo is also enabled and I can't seem to disable it without a working ROM on the phone.
When I plug the phone into my PC the "H" and "I" drives automatically pop up but are inaccessible. Mounting USB storage in ClockWorkMod appears to do nothing.
Any ideas? Thanks!

ohhhhhhhhh
I had the same problem last night but i thought my PC was acting up. I guess it has to do with CWM, but idk why.
What i did was copy the ROM on my external sd card, then put it on the phone and move them to internal sd card
Hope that help

you can use adb to push file to your phone.

CWM won't let me mount SDEXT. Is there something special I have to do to get this to work?

You may have to pull the sd card and use an external card reader.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App

ADB did the trick. I didn't realize it could push to the phone like that. Easy cheesy. Thanks!
And as for external SD card reader - this doesn't do anything to help transfer a file to the phone. Recovery was unable to mount SDEXT. I can't find any documentation on the matter, but I assume this is a Vibrant-related issue?

Hi, I just have the exact problem on my galaxy note. Trouble is that I can't find a way to connect to my phone through ADB. It just isn't listed when I type "adb devices". I would appreciate any help so I could "push" a rom and be done with it.

Check Applications/Development/Enable USB Debugging. If that is on, make sure you have the necessary drivers on the PC.
As for mounting via CWM, that should work if CWM gives the option. Again, check drivers on PC.

Micro SD not showing files on pc after update

Any solution to this? seems like the update broke it. When i connect to my win10 desktop, i cant see any of the files on the microsd card.

if u just upped to 6 - default usb connection is charging only

change usb to file transfer

Thanks, still doesnt work though.

When you change the USB mode to Camera, does it show anything?

nope same thing =\. i read somewhere on another forum that it seems to be an issue with the update.. just wasnt sure if it was discussed here

I had the same issue. What you need to do is:
1) turn off phone
2) remove SD card
3) boot phone all the way
4) turn phone off
5) insert SD card
6) boot phone
And then it should show all the files again. I am on Windows 8, but I think this will work for 10 as well.

I had to format my SD card to make it work. I just copied it all to my computer, reformatted it, and then put all the files back on the SD card. That did it.

did u choose the sd as internal memory or stand alone ?

is there a fix for that???

whenever i try to copy sometghing to my device either internal storage or sd card, a msg pops up:
*Cannot Copy Item, The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected*
is there a fix please?

Have you tried reinstalling drivers for your phone on your computer? That should help. Or try to transfer files via HiSuite.

Haha, I didn't thought about it. I had the same problem but with MTP mode selected and needed to reinstall drivers so that's what I told you. Glad you fixed man.

You still should be able to flash files even though it says mount failed.

There is no files in TWRP showing up so I can't

You can boot into download mode flash the stock kdz file in lgup to go back to stock.

Im using stock unlocked now because I can't install anything

You can also try adb sideload.
