Rogers Captivate Can't Use as Mass Storage

For some reason, I can't get the Captivate to mount the SD card so it'll show up in Windows Explorer as a mass storage device. I've already tried unmounting and formatting it, but that didn't work or change anything. I've switched USB ports as well and that didn't work either. Anyone got any solutions?
Thanks
After multiple tries. I finally got it! Took only like 10 tries.

This is the best way i found to make it active.
Go to Menu>Settings>Applications>USB Settings.
-Select "Ask on connection" (or select Mass Storage if Ask option is not present, depends on the ROM)
-Make sure USB Debbuging is unchecked in Apps>Development.
Plug in your USB cable.
-If asked to choose the type of connection select "Mass Storage"
-Pull down the notification bar and tap the USB notification.
-Select Mount
Windows should now mount the sdcard as a usb storage media.

I had a similar issue with this; i needed to unplug my usb cable and replug it back it to get it to work 1-3 times.
I flashed my phone with Froyo and the issue is now gone

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yep that's how I got it working in the end. Didn't even know you can pull down the notification bar...

[Q] Help, I cannot write to my external microsd [SOLVED]

I don't know why, I'm in mass storage mode and I expected to just be able to copy and paste files like in Samsung Wave (or any other phones) but I cannot do it in Galaxy S.

Never liked mass storage mode. Enable USB debugging mode instead. Go to menu ->settings ->Applications -> Development -> USB debugging. Once connected to the PC, pull down the notification menu and select connect.

Thank you. Tried it but it doesn't work too. The micro sd partitions do not appear even if usb mode (debugging) is connected already.
Am I the only one experiencing this?

did you pull the notification bar and choose to connect to ur comp? if ur on froyo, once you click " mass storage " you should then see a green android on the screen with the option to connect to the computer. if you dont see the notification, unplug the usb and try again.

SOLVED after updating my firmware to JPU. Thank you for the help guys! It was as I suspected. For some reason, my phone owned the external microsd's filesystem after formatting (I was using JP2 firmware). I formatted it again after flashing to JPU and voila, all problems fixed.

[Q] USB storage does not work

I cannot mount internal SD card as USB storage device.
When USB debugging is inactive I get "MTP Application connected" screen and at the same time Windows tries to install MTP USB device drivers with no success.
When USB debugging is on I get "USB connected" notification, Windows sees SAMSUNG_Android device and when I press Connect USB storage button on the phone Windows fails to install the drivers for the SAMSUNG_Android.
This happens on PC where I used to mount my phone before. The failure started after I installed Clockwork recovery and backed up the phone to SD.
I did not installed custom ROMS, only root and recovery.

Cannot connect to Mass Storage Mode

Everything was normal till yesterday ,i mean when i connected my phone to pc by usb cable it used to ask if i want to charge or connect in mass storage mode
But today when i connected my phone it didn't gave any notification and just kept charging
i have tried changing the usb ports
tried re-installing the drivers
checking and unchecking usb debugging mode but still it doesn't work
any help will be appreciated :good:

First thing to do would be so to Settings > SD card and phone storage settings and try having mass storage only selected.
If you have rooted ur phone u can try mounting USB storage from the advanced menu of CWM in order to see whether it is a hardware based issue or an issue isolated to the ROM.
If you have the android sdk installed, check whether ur PC acknowledges that the phone is connected to the USB port by typing "adb devices" in cmd. This will tell you whether the PC actually knows that there is something plugged in.
Final thing to do would be backup in CWM and reflash stock ROM then revert to backup.

[Q] USB mounting issue P970

So I've installed Mackay ROM 2.91 of kasper_h. It works like a bliss ( i'm new so I cannot post in development section ) till some time.
When I plugged in usb cable to my mobile and pc it showed on P970 to mountSDcard and then it popped in on my pc BUT later on it failed to do so. Now I can only mount my SDcard via card adapter or in recovery mode it shows removable disk but do not open it but if I press mount USB mass storage device it open my sdCard on my pc))
SO WHAT THE HELL, why isn't it mounting while using my phone in normal way, connected to PC? but only in recovery lol...
Anyone got the very same issue?
I've found androidforums. com /desire-tips-tricks/365476-guide-usb-brick-fix. html but do not know if it is good solution for it and even if I do not understand it at all>.>.

Go to settings/storage, press menu and select USB connection. There are 3 diferent types, mtp, camera and mass storage. Try the others.
