Cant see SD card content - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys.
I am trying to get my pc to pick up my note as USB mass storage but so far I've had no success.
I installed the official drivers and everything, but so far no luck.
I am running the latest CM9 nightly.
Also, for some reason, its treating my internal storage, as my SD card.
Any help you could give would be welcome!

Mount via Cwm recovery?

Got almost the same problem earlier today (not with CM though).
A restart solved that problem (for now). Have you tried that?

i tried it (restart) but its not working
Same error (Please Insert SD Card before using the camera.)
please help me friends .
Has there been any kind of notification telling you that your SD is corrupt?
Can you see your SD card in a file manager?
Do you even have an SD card? CM does the internal storage differently.

I'm surprised that Cyanogenmod install can be done without a physical external SD card.
It's mandatory to have an external SDcard to use Cynogenmod, even if your internal SDcard is empty.
There are complicated things to do as mentionned above to switch internal and external mounting points for Cyanogen but I can guess this can be tricky for someone not used to those things....
So:
- buy a sdcard, even a small one, internal sdcard still can be used for multimedia files and so on, and is mounted as /mnt/emmc (grab Astro File manager for exemple to see it) and is concerned by media scanning.
- flash back stock firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127849) if you didn't made a Nandroid backup before flashing CMod.
- flash another optimized Froyo rom (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127849 there are some)
- Didn't try Paul Modaco's Gr2, based on official Lg leak 2.3.4, perhaps its mouting points are more conventionnal; but Gr1 pre-baked didn't went good for me as there were no SIM card detection (probably missing some APN related files or so...) so I jumped to CyanogenMod Nightly.
I just bought an O2x with CM7 RC1 already installed.The camera doesn't work (Please insert an SD card before using the camera) and my computer doesn't find the phone when i connect the USB cable(it says it's charging but nothing happens on the phone or the PC). I tried installing LG Pc Suite and the official software on the LG site(mobile updater) and the USB driver seems to be installed but nothing happens when i connect the phone.
What should i do? Should i flash a newer CM7 nightly or a stock firmware? (i have literally no idea how to do that, i'm going to have to read some tutorials).Can i do that if i can't connect the phone via the USB cable? Is there another way?
Yeah flash a newer version, RC1 is quite dated. In the new nightlies you can make internal storage replace the SD card.
You can update the drivers with the LG Mobile Support Tool, PC Suite isn't compatible with CM7.
I installed LG Mobile Support Tool, still nothing. The battery is "Charging" but nothing else happens on the phone/pc. Can i flash a newer version if i can't use the usb to connect to the phone?
Edit: The phone has ROM Manager 4.3.2.3 installed and when i start it: "The SD Card needs to be mounted to use ROM Manager."
I suspect you don't have an SD card, only internal storage. You can't use ROM Manager with that on RC1.
Try the drivers here: http://android.modaco.com/topic/335...elease-103521-20110725/page__view__getnewpost
No, i don't have external SD card. The phone already had CM7 when i bought it. So i just have to download those 3 files and follow the tutorial?
I also found this tutorial and it has that AP BIN thing in plus. Which one to follow? I would be happy to install stock froyo if everything works on it.
Which one to follow depends on what you want for your phone. Personally I'd use CM7.
Ok , i'm gonna go with CM7. If i follow that tutorial(the one you posted) what exactly i'm gonna have on my phone? What does it do? Don't i have to install a newer CM7 nightly build?
This tutorial doesn't say what to put in the AP Bin box, i just leave it blank?
If you go with CM7 then you have to install via recovery, not Smartflash, completely different process.
Download the newest version from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p990
Save to your phones internal SD card
Update recovery (unless already on 4.0.0.9 or higher)
Reboot to recovery (can use ROM Manager for that)
Install zip from SD card
Choose zip
Select the CM zip and pick yes
Reboot
In the CyanognenMod settings, in the top option (i foget what it is now) tick 'use internal storage'
Reboot again and you're away
"Save to your phones internal SD card" How am i gonna do that? I can't use usb to connect the phone.
Oh, have you not sorted that yet? Bugger.
Try running mount -t auto /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /sdcard from the terminal, with any luck this will make your internal SD /sdcard and you should be able to download CM via the phone. You can also use ROM Manager to install it then as well.

[Q] CM9/Ics USB storage help

I just updated to alpha 6, and im having a problem with my internal storage. When I plug my phone up to my computer only the external sd card shows up, but when not hooked up, all my apps have no problem accessing my internal sd card.
I've already tried the wipe/factory reset as said in the development form but that didn't fix anything
Thanks!

Hashcode,
I remember reading about this when ICS AOSP was first being compiled, and that this was a design change in order to increase security of the devices. I saw a Galaxy Nexus for the first time yesterday and when I plugged it into my machine I thought it was using MTP to transfer files. Has anybody else out there in the porting community been able to allow USB mass storage yet for the internal memory or maybe that's just a feature that's been permanently disabled by Google?

[Q] Formatted sdcard

Hello friends! Today I did something really dumb on my i9000. I was about to flash a new rom and formatted the sd card.. Of course the files of the rom i was about to flash are gone and now when i try to mount usb storage to transfer the files again my computer doesn't recognize the phone.
The drivers were working before all this happened so i don't know how to fix this. I'm running devil touch recovery v6.0.2.7.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks for your help.
2 things you can do one is to use a program called recuva by pirifrom (Google it and Google a how to) to get the data back off the SD card assumming u have not over written it and u have a sdcard to USB converter.
The other is to uninstall the drivers from PC and install them from fresh there should be guilds here someware

Note cant see internal usb storage

So my Galaxy Note has just stopped seeing the internal usb storage. I have a 32GB SD Card installed and can read that fine but the internal USB storage has unmounted itself somehow. When I go into settings and storage and try to mount the usb storage, it does not work, it just flashes up with "Preparing USB storage" and then nothing happens.
File explorers can't see the usb storage but can browse the SD Card fine. Some aps are running, some do not run properly as a result (eg Swiftkey keyboard works but can't access text prediction etc).
Presumably a file is corrupt somewhere and stopping the phone from reading the internal storage somehow but I am not very techy.
It is running the stock Samsung firmware with Android 4.1.2. I've turned the phone off and on a couple of times, taken the battery out etc.
Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Maybe formatting it is the last option if changing ROM doesn't help.
I haven't tried a factory reset yet, that is probably the next step. However, will that effect the EMMC bug? I guess the other alternative is to flash with a ROM, probably the same one I have now but as I have no experience of doing that, I will need to take some time to read up on the process etc.
Thanks E.Cadro for moving the thread.
Hello, I'm currently facing the same issue as well. For no rhyme or reason, the internal phone storage is not detected. Trying to find ways to salvage the memory as there are some stuff that's not backed up.
Does any one have any tips on fixing it before trying the last resort of formatting to factory settings?
Some details:
Stock samsung firmware running 4.1.2
Not rooted

I'm just not seeing why a factory reset is such a big deal (from a safe kernel of course)
So you have to spend 20 minutes setting up the phone again...

Point is to try to save the storage as I have mentioned, some things (photos and stuff) have not been backed up yet.

I resolved the problem by doing the factory reset. Not such a big deal but lost some data in the process that I could not back up because of the internal storage not being mounted. In my case the data I lost was not such a big deal as most of my important stuff was on the ext sd card or in a cloud somewhere.
After the reset, the note is obviously like new and running very smoothly. Makes me think I should do a reset every so often to clear out apps that accumulate and just to give the phone a fresh start.

[Q] sd not mounting after update

Have HP Touchpad, was at 10.1-20131207-snapshot-bluetooth and downloaded 10.2-20140421-unofficial. Booted into cyanogen mod and installed from SD card. Booted up and no can't access SD card. Cleared cache but still can't mount. Can see SD card under system, but greyed out.
What should next steps be?
Thanks, Marcus

Hi, a little bit more information would help. Exactly what moboot, recovery and which 10.2 ROM will allow more members to offer advice .
Moboot is 0.3.8, not sure the ROM, don't find that info on pad...all downloads to PC were lost as on new PC.

Sorry but if you can't say what rom or recovery you are using I really don't know how to help you. It may be best to start again using one of the guides here.
