Cannot open sd-card on PC when phone is on - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I always don't find it's a problem because I always use Wi-Fi to view my SD-card files. Now I'm trying to use PC to mount to my X8 when it is on. But in the screen there's no button for me to mount SD card. I tried to flash update-rom-chargemon+vold++AlfsKern.v1-8.zip but it's not working also?
Did i miss some step? Really need help here as i need to mount sd card using pc when the phone is on. :crying::crying:
Thank you everyone who can help me.
By the way i'm using GDX v28 with alfs v8.

When you connect your phone to your pc there is an android icon in your screen,hit it. If you wanna see the mount button,rotate your phone.

or you can use adb to explore it:
Code:
adb shell
cd /system/mnt/sdcard
or try what stamatis16 said.

if you are not getting any option like mount usb then.. simply restart pc.. or plug the cable and wait for sometime... dont know why but it happens with me too... ..
so simply reboot pc and try
if you are using alfs v9 then flash the appropriate fix that is v7/8+ zip...

Actually that's a known "missing" of the gdx v28,when you connect your phone the icon appears but you can't see the mount button,you just have to hit the android icon

Not sure what you ask...
Your x8 doesn't recognize your sd card when you have connect your phone to your PC because your sd card is being mounted,so its like you have disconnect it from your phone and you have connect it to your pc,if you wanna use it while you have connected hit the unmount button.
If its not that what you asked correct me

Hello,
Just try sony ericsson Update Service (seus), and format your sd card.
then you will boot into your system. The first boot after seus may take long time.
The tourtital of seus you can find it at our forum, just search for it.
Some bad SDCARD may make your phone get into a boot loop, I have been like this once.
I bought a new sdcard after that, and it was all fixed.
u means the pc companion? i will try buy a sd card n try it

Do you have a sdcard in the phone or not? If no, insert one, nAa kernel doesnt boot without sdcard.

Try to pull the battery out, remove simcard, insert battery, boot phone, remove battery and insert simcard.
It may help...

what your color led? red? i think your battery is empty.. charge with dekstop charger for 1 hour.. and try to tur it on..
Can you boot into recovery ? If you can, I could probably make a flashable zip to make sure you have an OK launcher like LauncherPRO or ADW just to make sure you can use your phone.
it was flashing a green light for about a second accompanied sometimes by a vibration. then nothing. it won't boot or anything. i gave it to my brother so he can take it to the service center. thanks guys

ok now i know what your problem.. turn off your phone, try to pull battery, sim, and sdcard off. open flashtool on your computer and flash eclair stock rom.. if you have a notif to connect your phone, try to connect your usb data and press back and insert battery.. if you hear a sound like a usb connected on your computer, your phone is safe. i have try this trick many times on my xperia x8, galaxy mini, galaxy gio and samsung galaxy s3.

@mightyillidan: So maybe your USB port is broken or Idk.
@shlomib
Maybe its a bootloop so try first to wipe. If this don't work you have to flash a new rom, you can put one on your sd with: mounts and storsge --> Mount USB

assuming that u have the driver for the laptop to detect ur phone, it might be a problem with the usb cable.
u might want to unmount ur sd card while trying to connect
Seems like a hw problem, but just to be sure, you may want to check on Linux.

dude i had the same problem, download this
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/
turn off your phone and put the micro usb in your phone ( dont connect to pc yet ). start the update service and choose your phone ( normal xz , not japanese version!! ). it will say u need to press volume down while phone is off and after u keep pressing down put the usb in your PC. IT will detect and wipe and install stock rom.. ).. tell me if it works
Do you have unlocked bootloader??
If yes use this http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...ocked-xperia-smartphones-video-beta-download/

What's the error cause the image is unreadable.
When you connected the phone in flash mode(vol Down+usb) did you installed the drivers?
Usually when you click on flash with flashtool and you select the firmware,you have to wait till the pop up tells you to connect the phone.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Mini GT-S5570B died after Cyanogenmod 7.2.

I was using that rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085347, and after install Cyanogenmod 7.2 (http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=stable&device=tass) on my phone, i click "Reboot system now" on recovery mode (Clockworkmod Recovery 5.0.2.8), and they just dont turned ON again, and now, NOTHING WORKS.
I tried to remove battery, put battery, i tried all the keys combo on the phone, and they even turn on the display, only the mode thats working is the RAMDump (Arm9), but still with the screen off. How i now thats rampdum mode is working? I connect the phone on my pc through the USB and pressed Home Button + Power Button + Volume UP Button and my PC recognize him, but i think there are nothing i could do with ramdump mode. I saw that post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688137, but my device is different and maybe theres something more wrong, and i don't know...
Anyway, THANK YOU GUYS. Hugs!
