Im trying to mount my SD card on my computer and its not working.. the phone just loops back to "checking sd card for errors"
Whats going on?
Win 7 X64, stock N1
I had this same issue, you have enable debugging and then the problem was all fixed. go to Setting -> Applications -> Development and put a check mark next to USB debugging.
If you don't have ADB drivers installed, windows is going to try to install them. It should give you a link to where they are located or you just cancel if you don't use ADB. You don't need it unless you use ADB.
Then you should be able to mount with not problem.
thanks, that works!
First of all, I am running Cyanogen Mod 4.2.15.1, with RA recovery v1.52R and I have a properly partitioned SD card for apps2sd.
My question/problem is this:
I have 2 SD cards, the first one I have setup to use regularly with my phone, and is partitioned properly for apps2sd. The second one I have formatted and setup as a ubuntu USB boot disk.
My intention is this, whenever I need to use a random computer, at work or friends house, etc, it would be super if I could shut my phone down, switch to my boot SD card, boot into recovery, enable the USB-Mass Storage option, and boot the computer from USB into Ubuntu. I have the SD card set up with a persistence file so I can even save stuff in my linux environment. This is all fine and dandy, and works well. It's actually really cool to have a bootable linux environment right in my pocket with me everywhere I go...
To take it to the next level, I would like to be able to actually boot my phone, so it doesn't have to sit in recovery while I'm using the computer. This way I can even turn on "Wireless Tether for Root Users" and have Ubuntu with network on the go. I've tried partitioning my SD card, putting my apps on it, and using the FAT32 partition for the Ubuntu boot disk, The only problem with this is, I can't make the FAT32 partition available to the computer before it is plugged in. (I have to mount it when the notification pops up, which is usually too late) So I figured I will enable USB-MS from RA Recovery, let it boot to Ubuntu, and once it's loaded, I'll reboot my phone, and mount again in android, then continue using the computer, but I think because the card is partitioned, BIOS isn't recognizing it as a boot drive.
So how do I mount the FAT32 partition from inside Cyanogen's 4.2.15.1 Mod? (or even from recovery?) before the computer is even connected? I need it to be available right when the computer turns on.
Any suggestions would be super, I love the idea that I can carry around a linux distro with me everywhere I go, especially coupled with a wireless connection.
Thank you!

when u connect your phone to linux and MOUNT sd card from notifications then your sd card should be mounted on linux.. It works well for me on ubuntu
Mounting your sd card should say to your computer that its just like a flash storage, it will know how to use it.
Please help me how to install android app's with PC. My HD2 wifi is not working...
You can install it by copying the apps to your SD card and then installing them by using a file manager.
I have such problem:
I've got password on my Windows 7 that I don't, so I have Linux Live on pendrive without su permissions... So there's my question:
If I root my N4 will I be able to connect it to Linux without installing needed packages or I need custom ROM?
