I recently upgraded from CM7 XRON to Classicnerd ICS and for some reason, I cannot access the USB Storage via CWM or through MTP in ICS. The only way that works for me is to boot up WebOS and mount the USB drive. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this same issue, or is aware of a fix for it? Thanks!
Make sure MTP is set under storage settings.
I also found I had to disable USB debugging under the developer options to connect to my XP PC.
I did both of those things, that is what is so strange. I am on Windows 7. Oh well, at this point I will just boot into webOS to access the sd card, just a pain to do that.
Use airdroid....no need of USB mounting....

I seem to have problems with certain USB ports on my laptop. One will not work at all while the other works fine. I always recommend trying an alternate port on your laptop/desktop if you think all your settings are fine in CM.
Hi.
Hoping somebody can help me with this. I have a perfectly working HP TouchPad with webOS on it (3.0.5) but since I updated to 3.0.5 it will not mount as a USB drive on Mac OS X or Windows. It will appear in disk utility but I get the message to "Initialise... " the disk as it is not recognised as a valid formatted drive.
(Note webOS runs fine on it)
When I try mounting it in Windows 7 the same thing happens - I can see it in Device Manager but not as a USB drive.
I tried formatting it as FAT32 from within Windows 7 but then when I boot into webOS it says that it has to reinstall apps. In this situation even the inbuilt email application disappears from within webOS.
It did work fine before and I could copy and paste files onto it in USB mode.
Anyone any ideas how to get it back working as a USB drive in both OS's?
Here is my problem:
Friend of mine bought a dual boot touchpad and it worked until it updated webos to 3.0.5.
Now when I went to work on it (I'm new to doing installs on touchpad, just installed CM7 on mine and it went flawlessly), I knew the update just knocked out moboot.
Well I went though the paces, and hooked the touchpad to the computer, selected usb drive in WebOS, and windows says format the device, which I did not.
I just then downloaded moboot though WebOS and used XX Commander to make the directory and move the file to the directory.
The rest of the steps worked fine, novacom worked fine, touchpad recognized the cminstall directory, and it now boots up to CM9 fine again.
At first CM9 would not recognize it when I hooked it up, looked online again, and fixed the options and the computer recognizes the touchpad as a usb storage device when CM9 is running.
But when I boot into WebOS, it still will not recognize the USB Drive as a useable drive.
What I read online so far was either I re-install the whole thing, or nothing. My friend does not want me to do that. But what doesn't make sense to me is novacom with ACME recognized the usb drive directory, CM9 recognizes it, XX Commander in WebOS recognized it, but WebOS does not, so it really doesn't sound like a partition problem like most of the things I read says, more like a mount problem, but I can be wrong. Is there anything I can do besides just a flat out re-install of everything?
Its a 16gb Touchpad with CM9 Version 9.0.0-RC0-Touchpad-alpha0.5
Just to clear some of the stuff up. What you mean is that under WebOS when you attach the TouchPad to your computer ... WebOS doesn't give you the option to attach the TouchPad as a USB Drive however when the TouchPad is booted into CyanogenMod 9 you are able to attach the TouchPad as a USB drive?
I'd still go with the wipe everything out and then redo everything option which your friend discourages. By wipe everything I mean running ACMEUninstaller to remove Android then running a factory reset within WebOS. If that doesn't work then running WebOS Doctor.
If your friend is afraid of losing what's on the storage drive of the TouchPad, then just copy what he wants off to a computer while in CyanogenMod. If he doesn't want the apps on Android getting messed up then use Titanium Backup to backup the apps and their associated data. If its the WebOS apps then, I'm not really too much in the knowledge on that subject. However you can see if this site can help you out.

Sorry I wasn't clear on that. I hook the Touchpad up to the computer when the touchpad is in WebOS. The Touchpad gives the option to select USB Drive. I click on that option, then on my computer a windows pops up saying "You need to format the disk drive J: before you can use it. Do you want to format it?" In CM9, when I hook the tablet up to the computer now, it will show up as a usb drive, showing the folder that webos should be showing when hooked up to the computer.
I'm guessing I will have to convince to reinstall it then. Thanks for the reply!
I see ... try following the steps in the last post from this WebOS Nation forum thread.

Thanks @Bharakrama that totally solved my problem of not being able to use my TP as a USB target!
I'm trying to do a clean install of CM9 so I ran ACMEUninstaller from a Windows box. Now I can't access the TP via USB from either Windows or Linux either from webOS or by holding the volume button while powering on the TP. Linux sees the TP but can't mount it. Says there it is an unknown file system. Is there a way to restore the USB drive in webOS? Or can I use my Windows or Linux box to reformat it? If so, what file system does it use?
I have a 32GB Touchpad that I put CM10 4.1.2 on, in CWM, i must mount the usb storige to have my 895 MO wich have the cminstall on it, the other storage won't appear.
boot webOS stuck at the begining,'' i had a problem upgrading the CM so i lost all data including webos.
Anyone have any ideas? Greatly appreciated, thanks!
