problems with my internal storage

hi there, i flashed my htc touch diamond with energy ROM, everythings goes well.
I tried to connect my htc touch diamond to my car's audio (which can support USB storage) for musics. It can play the musics, but after i disconnect my diamond, i found that my diamond cannot detect the "internal storage" anymore, and yet i can detect it when i connect my phone to my pc.
Anyone here know how can this happened and how to solve it?
When i checked the memory setting for my diamond.
It shows that the "storage card is not installed"

By default, when the Diamond is set to be used as a Disk Drive (one of the USB connection options), you are unable to see the internal storage on the phone until you disconnect the USB cable.
Now that leads me to believe that when you connect it to your car audio it is connecting as a disk drive. When you unplug it though, it is not registering the disconnection and still thinks its connected via disk drive.
Did it work fine prior to flashing the energy ROM? If so, flash back to Stock ROM and make sure it is working again. Also, may be worth asking this in the Energy ROM thread.

Thanks for your explaination, bro.
I flashed back to the stock rom, the problem still presists.
I connect my phone to the pc again and format my internal storage and reflash my ROM again. It works. Everythings turn back to normal.
Lesson learnt:-
No to connect your diamond to your car audio's USB.

Hero won't mount SDcard on any PC plz Help

Have been trying to connect my Hero to my pc so I can fill up my SDcard with music, but every time I connect it to any pc, the phone just charges. I have the stock 1.5 ROM and still the phone just won't mount SDcard nor would it even pop up the option to mount on the taskbar. I have tried to install ADB drivers and nothing. Phone has been reset to factory defaults and still nothing happens when plugged in to usb, just charges the phone and no messages at all! What Can I do? Thnx in advance.

Have you tried mounting on a different computer? to see if it's either the computer or your phone

Yes I have tried on 6 computers. 4 windows and 2 linux, but same thing happens phone just charges.

1. Try different USB cord. Some are made so generic that they only supply power.
2. Check your connectors in the phone. Less likely, but maybe a hunk of pocket lint got in there?

Try downloading USB Switcher from the market, i had the same problem with my phone before and that seemed to fix it.

I have tried with two usb cords, one being the one that came with my ps3 and the other I just happen to come across with

I will try that right now

I just installed USB Switcher and same thing is happening, phone starts charging.

you have to add the widget to one of your screens then tap the widget icon while it's plugged in. then the icon will turn purple and, hopefully, you will be able to see the drive under my computer.

Widget is on one of my screens, but when I tap it it does nothing just stays gray.

maybe reformat your sd card?

You are absolutely sure the SD card is actually inserted into the slot on the phone?

or maybe even try to insert the sd card to your computer some other way..

If none of those options work, you can try loading up RA (hold HOME while powering on) and mount the SD in recovery > USB-MS Toggle.
Assuming you're rooted and loaded the custom recovery.

No no no.. download htc sync from htc. It should fix your problem.
HERE
All cell phones need drivers on the computer to mount your card. The htc ones come in htc sync.
Some phones, like this one, had the htc sync on the stock memory card... Mine didnt though
And windows can usually find the drivers online by itself. Mine did.
You dont have to sync anything or even set it up.
And of course open up your taskbar drop down list, select charge and change it to "disk drive" mount sd card

installing pdanet also installs the correct drivers

And he gets off when someone with good answer helps. lol

I have installed HTC sync on my computer with no luck. Also I have toggle the ms mode in recovery and still nothing, phone just charges. Im planing on formatting my sd card and starting again but can't find my micro SD adapter lol. Once I find it I will post any updates hopefully that will fix it.

Sounds like a corrupted microsd card. You should download the Android dev kit and use ADB and see if theres communication between your phone and the Pc. If not you should look into solving bigger problems than your microsd card.
If there is communication between your phone and computer and you have Adb working, try reformatting that microsd card or replacing it.

I have formatted my sd car with no luck. Still my phone just charges when plugged to the computer. I am pretty sure I have a defective hero, as I have never seen the option to mount the sd on the taskbar. I do have insurance on the phone, but do you guys think the techs at sprint might not want to work on it since it is rooted and has a custom ROM? lol

[Q] USB Mass Storage Issue

Hello everyone, I have been using this forum for a while now, but havent really posted anything much as I have always found answers to any questions through searching the threads, however, I am unable to find a solution to a problem I have just recently encountered and was hoping someone out there may be able to shed some light on it.
I am using an unbranded handset running JPO which has been performing superbly until today, however, when I connect the phone via USB to my PC and select mass storage the computer does not seem to recognise the phone is plugged in. The strange thing is it worked perfectly before and the only changes I have made since was upgrading the micro SD card to a 16 gig one. I try unmounting the external card and even removing it completely to no avail. I have tried the phone on 3 PCs now, even my Linux PC does not recognise it.
I have rebooted the phone, tried connecting selecting Kies mode instead of mass storage, all to no avail. As soon as I connect the USB to the computer, the phone recognises the connection and asks what I want to do, I select mass storage, then I get the option to mount via the little green android, which turns orange stating it is connected, but the phone just does not show on the pc.
Any ideas would be most welcome, I don’t really want to have to format the internal memory but I think I may have to.
Many thanks in advance.

Additional:
I seem to remember on Eclair that I was able to unmount the internal sd card in the settings menu, however, with froyo, I only have the option to unmount the extrernal sd card. Would someone running JMO be good enough to check and see if they have the otion to unmount the internal sd?

Right, I seemed to have found the problem, so for anyone else who has a similar experience, it was the USB lead. SGS working as it should agian, phew..

Issue with Connecting Phone to PC

For some reason, out of nowhere, my phone doesn't seem to want to work completely with my PC. I've never had any issues before, worked fine yesterday. But today, when I plug it in, and select mass storage, only the Internal Storage gets recognized and comes up for me to open the folders, but its not recognizing or showing my Removable Storage, aka my SD Card. I have restarted my phone and my PC. Unplugged several times and tried again, but no go. My sd card reads just fine when my phone is unplugged, all my music and everything I have my SD card shows up on my phone and I am able to access it through my phone just fine and move files between the two. But my PC just wont recognize it and wont show up in my computer. Any thought on why this is happening and what I can do to fix it ?

I had that problem while testing with windows 8. Try plugging into another USB port on the PC.

Just had this issue a couple days ago, I think I took out the battery of the phone and took the sd card out and put both back in

That was one of the first things I did, cause the first USB port I plugged into wouldn't recognize the phone at all, which I've had that problem quite a few times recently, but if I switch USB ports it starts to work fine, but this is the first time that it only brought up the internal storage and not external (SDcard) storage. It's still not working....

I tried that as well, someone on another forum suggested that, and it didn't help. I don't get what the problem is. You would think it would be an issue with the SDcard, but as I said in my OG post, when the phone isn't plugged in through USB, the phone itself reads the SD Card fine, I am able to access stuff from it, move files to and from, etc etc. This is pissin me the hell off tho, that's for sure !
Any other Suggestions/Ideas ?
EDIT - I forgot to also say, I put my SDcard in another phone and plugged in it via USB, and it recognized it just fine. And so then I thought, Great, its my phone itself, either the USB cable, or the SDcard slot on the phone, so not only did i try a new USB cable, but I also put a different SDcard in my phone, and it worked fine, so then i did the same thing, except with my USB, and it still worked fine, but as soon as I put my SDcard back in, it wouldn't work. I am like outta ideas here, I am about to just send my phone in, I have insurance, and since they are about to discontinue this phone, they will have to give me a different phone of equal or better quality/specs, So this might work out in my favor. I can prolly at least trade it in and get a discount off the phone i really want, which is either a LG Spectrum or a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, or possibly an HTC Rezound. I really want an HTC One X but no go for Verizon and the one i really really want, the Samsung Galaxy S III isn't out yet, and from what I've been reading in the news, it might not come out on time, Apple is seeking an injunction, preventing Samsung from Selling the Galaxy S III in the US until the Patent issues are resolved in court or through settlement. Which I hope to god that wont happen. Germany already agreed to ban the sell of Xbox360s for the time being over there, so its something that definitely could happen over here.

I don't know if it helps or has anything to do with your situation, but have you checked to make sure the phone is connecting as mass storage, and not charge only or internet connection mode?

Mass storage is the default, or the always ask. You have to actually manually go in and set charge mode or internet mode each time you want to use them.

Did you switch cables? I had the same issue when I used a generic cable instead of the VZN supplied one. Some of the imported pacific rim cables only charge (2pins instead of 4 pin usb internals) Also use the usb headers on the motherboard (rear of pc) not a hub or front ports.

here is what I did...
I used root explorer to execute the driver file on my phone. When I plugged i into my computer it ran the bootstrap which installed the drivers on my computer. It worked and linked up just fine. I then used the .tot files and got my phone to do the otas.

[Q] Connecting to computer problems

Hi all!
I have a Nexus One running CM7.2.0 with Clockworkmod Recovery. My computer is running Windows 7.
I want to connect my phone to the computer in order to return it to it's factory state with an official shipping rom and stock recovery image.
However, I've run into a problem which I've been having for quite a while now; when I plug the phone into the computer via USB cable, it charges, but nothing happens on the computer, and nothing happens on the phone.
I've tried different USB cables, and different computers.
If I push the part that goes into the phone port to the right, the computer will make a noise as if to say that something is connected, but then it will be unable to install the correct drivers, and will say "USB Device not recognized" It comes up as an "Unspecified" device in Devices and Printers, and in "Unknown Device Properties" it tells me that "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)".
I have a feeling that the problem is the port on the phone, but I wanted to ask on here first to see what other people thought. Why is it that the phone charges correctly, but won't be recognized on the computer?
I might just add that this problem first started when I installed a device manager program that allowed me to see my texts and things when the phone was plugged into the computer. It was a while ago, and I think I remember (not entirely sure though!) not safely ejecting the phone before unplugging it, and then 2 minutes later when I went to plug it back in, this occurred. Whether this is related to the problem or not I do not know.
Also, I'll add that this problem has been occurring for quite a few months now, but it is only recently that I have noticed that when plugged into a wall charger, the phone charges much slower than it used to, and the charging light will go on and off every so often. This suggests port wear, but this started happening quite a while after the connection problems happened.
Anyway, thanks to all those who respond! I am keen to work out what is wrong.
Thanks,
Simon

Also I'll add that the SD card works perfectly fine in an SD card reader USB thing!

I'm not sure you properly read what I said..
My phone doesn't work on any computer I try it on. All other USB devices work fine on the computer I am currently using. This means that it is not simply a matter of following the steps you linked, because the problem is not related to a windows error.
BTW, learn how to read properly.

Youshuold change usb cable or or rest the phone.but first of all buckup your data after that phone will stat newely so bug will be gone
