HELP!!! - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All, I have just got a t-mobile G1, I cant get it to connect to the pc. I have tried everything. The only way i've found is to use the sdcard on my pc & place it back on the phone. When I mount the sdcard on the phone the pc doesn't reconize it. I want to be able to try new roms and themes. Any help?
Thanks

I had the same problem before. It turned out that it was a bad sd card. It would read fine in a card reader but not in my phone. I just ended up buying a name brand sd card and it's worked fine since then.

Are you sure its not an issue of the usb drivers?

Sounds like a bad flash. Try re-flashing. Make sure to hard reset immediately afterwards.
alright thanks.
edit: after i flash the rom do i have to flash the radio again too?
well i reflashed the rom and it still doesnt pick it up =[, even if i go to settings, then system, then memory, the click storage card it says storage card not installed =[
have u tried other cards on ur phone?? plus have u tried ur card on other devices?? do that to determine if its ur phone's problem or ur card's problem

starting to think maybe my sd card fried cant get it to transfer files from my pc or to my pc it stalls out trying to format it but thats not working well either keep gettin windows cannot complete the format error or a sd card is locked message.... in other words having hell thinking about smashing it and filing on insurance.......

Did you see my help LINKS thread lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063843
AFAIK you need the sync, cuz it gives you drivers, but there's many ways, go click around in my thread and after you get the basics done post back in here. It does sound like your sd card is borked though, if windows won't even format it. Are you s-off? Probably not Can you get to ADB? does it recognize your phone?
WAIT.... you can use recovery? Just grab another sd card and flash from scratch, no RUU, no nand restore, scratch, it should work.
If your s-off try reflash your recovery. If your not s-off then you should be. Then try to reflash your recovery.

Yeah after I posted that I remembered you were actually talking about recovering lost data on an sd, oops.
Just wanted to elaborate a little on this in case anybody searches for help and lands here.
The 'LINKS' thread Duce provided contains a link to an RUU (windows executable) which only requires the Android USB Driver is installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=800586
You can download an Android USB Driver package separately.
You can also find the HTC Android USB Driver here (bottom of page).
I have used this many times, even on computers without AndroidSDK installed, just the driver package (I keep a zip on my SDCard ~8 MB).
wouldn't know of a way to fix my sdcard would ya

You might try and boot into a Linux Rescue Disk (i.e. RIPLinuX - (Bootable ISO X-Version))
Search right-click menu for GParted.
Run GParted, delete the partition(s), rebuild partition table, format new partition(s).
All this is done right in the GParted UI, just a few clicks.
This might help fix your problem, not really sure.
ive alway used my old mt3gs 4gig sd card.

[Q] Getting harder to mount SD on PC

Was running CM7 for ages, have recently gone back to Official, then upgraded to the Official ICS.
Have noticed over the last 6 months or so, that when plugging the phone into my pc, it has gradually more often than not, stopped giving me the option to mount the sd to the pc. Have tried different cables/different debugging settings, setting different mount options (in ICS), to the point now that I haven't had the option to mount the sd for a number of weeks....
Anyone else having this? Beginning to think it may be a hardware fault...
Thanks.

Started having the prob when I was running CM7...
And not exactly sure that if this problem persists, I can actually connect to anything TO flash a new ROM....
Airdroid is a much better solution than getting an SD card reader.
Thanks.

well but with airdroid you cant format you sd... This would be an option too. Backup with Airdroid and format SD completely
Beginning to think my hardware is almost shot... Well, bits of it.
Trying to connect the phone to the PC(s), get NO response when plugging USB cable(s) in. No reaction from device manager, etc.
Installed the latest AIO P990 Toolkit, and no recognition when trying to do various things with that.
Camera is also now not working ("camera has stopped unexpectedly, need to restart"...)
Suggestions anyone?
Thanks.

[Q] Unable to connect to Win7 after Sim Unlock

Hello Forum,
This is my first post, I hope that it's in the correct thread
I would appreciate some help as I'm unable to connect my I9305 to my Win7 (64) PC.
I bought the phone nearly two years ago from T-Mobile in the UK.
I rooted the phone and used CWM, I was running CM 10.1.3 and had no problem connecting via USB, to move files around.
Last Weekend I decided to Sim Unlock the phone, I tried some simple unlocks suggested on this forum without success. I therefore decided to take the phone to my local phone technician who wanted £10 to do the job, anyway, there is a pub close by and I have a good book
I knew he would have to DG the ROM so it was no surprise when he said it would take an hour.
Three hours latter he said it was the hardest phone he has ever done, but it was now unlocked and he used a Vodafone SIM to demonstrate the unlock.
I had a Backup on the SD Card of Spirit ROM 1.7 so I loaded that, everything is working ok, except that now I can't connect to my PC. The PC says it needs “Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM” Driver.
I have installed Samsung Kies3, and Microsoft “Windows Mobile Device Centre” and searched for and found drivers claiming to be “ Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM” for my OS.
Nothing works.
Attached is a screen grab.
I have accessed the Developer Menu and toggled MTP & PTP a few times, no luck.
I feel that this is a Windows problem, but detailing ROM below.
ROM
SpirtRom-4.4.4-v1.7
Build Number
spirit_i9305-rodman01 V1.7 KTU84Q
Any suggestions gratefully received.

Odin can't "See" the phone. I could copy a stock ROM to the SD Card inserted in a Reader and load from there, if there are no other suggestions I'll try that.

Hi,mate which is the latest official version you had?
Can you enter in download mode?
Are you enabled USB Debugging from the Phone?
Phone is in DIAG mode, use EFS Professional to switch it back to MTP+ADB.
Sent from my GT-I9305 using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks to everyone who has replied
To answer a few questions:
Yes, USB debugging is enabled.
Neither Odin or EFS can see the phone, even when its in Download mode.
I have tried using another PC
I cant seem to find any posts with the same problem and a Fix.

I loaded CM 10.1.3 onto the SD Card by putting the SD Card into a USB Stick and copying the file, then placing the SD Card back in the phone.
CM loaded ok but still no USB connection.
I took the phone back the guy who SIM unlocked it and now he cant connect either.
Grrrrrr
