Xperia X8 USB Mass Storage Issue - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have strange issue that's driving me crazy when i need it. I am user of GingeDX (v030 shakira stock). Several days ago i updated the custom rom with the latest version (v030) and installed GAPPS. Yesterday i plugged my USB in my PC to add the fix for GalleryDX (which was bugged and hotfix was avalable in the topic). When i connected my phone with usb and then to my pc (on my phone it said its connected) but nothing was showing either on my desktop or in Computer. I'd also want to add that the same day - Sony PC Companion required some update and i did it.
Then i tried something else to use the usb connect via Sony PC Companion and it worked only to open the sd card so i can place the GalleryDX fix i was talking about above. I was thinking that it's some kainda bug that will be away when i restart my pc but not. Then i restarted my phone, nothing again. Then erased all data from my sd card but nothing again. My last option was to wipe data/reset to factory via ClockworkMod but nothing again....
So my problem is that when i plugin my usb to phone and pc nothing is showing but my phone is saying its connected to pc. Days before everything was okay.
I also want to add that i use Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium SP2 is someone is in need of that info.
I really need some help about that because it's anoying.
Thanks in advance

Did you touch the green android logo on the usb connection page?
When you touch it the usb mass storage is activated..

The problem is not with the rom, but with ur usb port...there could be two options available, either dont have the drivers installed,(usb), or ur cable is malfunctioning...

His usb cable and port are fine, if they weren't he wouldn't be able to connect.
Wait some time if you hadn't, it may take a while.
If you have adb set on your computer run this command:
adb devices
If nothing shows up the problem are the drivers...
If that's not the case then try with another sd card and see if it works

You might have a virus in your PC. Try connecting your phone in another computer that has a good anti-virus installed.
Question: are you able to see the device in your PC but not the files? Or, nothing is showing?

You make no mention of it in your long post. How are we supposed to guess?
And you say "ofc i did" when it's not even obvious.
Bet you still havn't touched the green android!
Some people just can't see help when it's staring them in the face.
These people use Vista!!

@CtrlAltDelIrl Mate i'm really sorry about leaving only "ofc i did" but i was in a hurry and really had no time. Also i'm not here to argue i just wanted to tell you that i did. Thanks for your help and sorry if there is anything.
@stamatis Thank You for the "other SD Card" solution. I took my second SD Card from my phone's box and it worked. Then i attached my old sd card (that was not working so far) and it ALSO worked. I did it many times and now it's working...... quite strange i think that second card and fix that but it did. Awesome! Thank You.
@Everyone else - Thank you guys for the responce about my issue. Now everything is fine If i have any more questions i'll ask ahead.
PS. Yeah i know Vista. I hate it more that you imagine. I know how to install new one but i'm not into intalling everything all over again. I just installed new OS on my second PC so yeah.... its pain.

no usb activity

First I want to say i really like this forum. It has al lot of info.
And I appoligize for my English, I'm from The Netherlands.
Now my question, ik recently(few days a go) bought a TytnII of a member of this forum (don't know his nick, doesn't matter) but when i came home I noticed that when I connected to my computer via USB, there was no activity at all.
I already tried to hard reset it to factory defaults, but with no luck.
Can any one help me out?
(I already tried to turn off the advanced at usb to pc connections, and also my active sync is okey because it does work for my qtek9100)
thanks very much.

When u plug it in, what does the led light(the one thet normaly blink green) do?
EDIT:there is a search function on this site. Try to look for "kaiser can not connect activesync" and try to read these threads.
This one looked similar, give it a try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2204391
I already found that post, the problem is not just actuve sync, mycomputer does not respond at al, does not see a divice at the usb port or anything.

do u have a vista or xp? I remember some posts about problems with vista, unfortunately I cant remember where it was.
I have xp, I know about the problems with Vista , but that's not my problem :S
Is it possible to place a new image or something like that? If it is possible where do i find such an image and how do i install it? Is this possible from the SD card?

I really dont know what can cause this issue.
To find out about rom flashing, u better start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369282
when you got your new devcie did you install activsync from the new disc that came with it or did you assume activsync is all the same( as an owner of a htc univwersal i know activsync 4.1 will not operate the tytn 2 you have to use activsync 4.5 also what usb lead are you using try using a lead from a different device, those leads come with pretty much everything i have 6 and i only remember the tytn 2 one being an important one as i use the internet sharing a lot

But is there a chance that this solves my problem or isn't it worth the try?
you said that youd reset to factory settings, so the rom will be as good as itl get in its origional form.
so answer what usb lead you using, is it the one that was in the box with the phone
and
did you install the newer version of activsync from the disc that came from the new phones box

i downloaded the newest active sync (4.5) didn't work.
But why does windows xp not react at all when i plug it in? it should at least see new hardware added wright?
With lead you mean the usb-cable? (sorry ain't that good at english)
i think it's the original one, but offcourse because i can't say for sure because i didn't buy it in a store but second hand. He did give me the reciet an the original box and everything so i guess it's also the original cable.
Also i tried 4 diffirent ones.
well im afraid it looks more like a pc issue than a phone issue what os you got on your pc and give me all your specs, and please tell your windows is genuine
U can also try different cable, just to be sure its not the cable that is causing these problems.
maybe they sold you a device with a messed up usb port? maybe 1 of the 3 middle pins of the top set of pins when the device is face up is damaged..thats what happened to mine and you couldnt tell by looking at it...

Okey so that is pssible, well I believe it's only 6 months old, so I'll go to the store with it.
@ jayjay8585 and Mikulec
I appriciate your effort for helping out, but if you've read the posts, you would have read that i have an other pda that does work, so not a OS problem(and yes it's a legit OS ) and that i've used several different cables
Is there a way to test if it's just a broken usb ?
Laptop Doesn't See Tilt
I've got the same issue. Got mine second hand only about 2 weeks ago. I was told it was unlocked but it was not. Got the unlock code from AT&T. When I plug the usb cord into the laptop it charges but the computer doesn't recognize new hardware. Any help would be appreciated and what I find out I'll pass on.

Mine probably has a mainboard roblem because an other firmware was put on, Icontacted HTC and it will be picked up for repairing
I sometimes have a simulair issue... with me it is because the USB connector plugs are slightly out of place (in the phone).
You can bend than back with a thin knife or someting. (dont put to much pressure)
I assume from reading the other posts, you DO have Activesync installed, and you did try a different USB cable?
If so, did you try another USB port on your computer?

I think diamond needs to "heat up" before computer recognice it Not very convenient...
I used to connect my diamond with PC normally. But just suddently it doesn't work now.
Mine did not connect untill I put the CD into my laptop that came with my Diamond. Sounds silly but have you done that?

Computer does not detect phone.

Hi there, I reset my Tilt to factory settings yesterday and now when I plug it into my computer it does not detect anything.
The phone does charge, so I know that the connection is there.
I've had this problem before but I can't remember what exactly it is that I did to fix it. I've searched the forum and I can't find anything helpful either.
Anyone know what I need to do to fix this?
Thanks!

Have you tried another cable?
hi, i got this problem tu. i plug in the usb cable, but nothing appeared on my computer.id doesnt say it detected anything (usually it says found new hardware). i tried with several usb cables.still the same. but the phone is charged with all those cables i tried.
Yeah tried it and still got nothing. I am so stuck on what it could be.
I've tried 3 different cables and still have nothing. It worked a couple days ago, but ever since I reformated my phone it stopped working.
I don't understand why my computer doesn't automatically detect it as it did in the past.
reformat it again?
/grasp at straws
My tilt is doing the same thing. 2 days ago I was updating it and when I connected it to the computer nothing happened. Yesterday I tried flashing a new rom, thinking it would wipe it clean and make it connect again, however, it did not work. I am at a loss. Any ideas?
did hard reset and still unable to detect my phone.i'm using G.DK. ROM
i still have the problem
i trized a lot of cables, but from now the computer even don't say that it an unknown plyg is, he simply doesnt detect it. i'm just able to charge my phone, that's it
and in fact i just wanna put the official french rom on it because it's in dutch, i'm bilingual but it's more pleasant to have my phone in my mother language!
tahnks all of you for your help!

Hmmm, this is starting to smell more than fishy with more and more complaints popping up... Just wiped out my laptop thinking it was an update that killed activesync; complete wipe and still no connection; every and any other type of usb cables connect flawlessly from camera, psp, ds, dsi, usb plug in all work no prob; yet kaiser refuses to sync even with new cables before and after activesync updates
Try a different PC if possible. Make sure Active Sync or Mobile Center is installed prior to plugging it in.
Another one
--DELETE THIS POST-- I added to it, then accidentally double-posted.
Another one
I'll add to the pile. Exact same problem. ActiveSync doesn't work, but phone does charge. Various cables used, hard reset done. Haven't yet flashed a new ROM, though. I'm using an HTC official 6.1.
Last successful run of ActiveSync was May 8th. I used System Restore on my PC to pre-date May 8th. Still nothing.
Didn't make any major installations to either the PC (XP SP3) or the Tilt on or around that date. It just...stopped working.
All other functions seemed to work normally, except that I got an alert from QuickGPS that it hadn't been updated since that date. I was able to update that successfully.

Yep, it's definitely a hardware issue with the Kaisers usb port not fully connecting; I pushed the usb bar in a bit with the back end of the stylus and presto! Connected immediately
I'll also confirm success by the use of a little bit of brute force. Back end of stylus, a little manipulation, connect, and the "ba-DING!" sound in XP. Wish I'd done that before a hard reset...

This is a complete first thread/post failure. Your thread title must be more specific than "help" and you have no information in your post about your issue. Figure out how forums work if you really would like a response that helps your issue.
did u try turning it off and on again? (lol jk - IT Crowd joke)
Have you tried other usb ports?
I would try restarting both the devices.

i do have information in my post about my info if you actually read i said that the usb is failing.
yes i tried it on both of my front usb ports and my 2 open back ones and neither worked i restarted both devices numerous times
Sorry to jump on the bandwagon here.... Box both of 'em up and send them back!
But seriously, that error message really doesn't tell us much. I've seen a few people say that 64bit OSes don't seem to like our phone very much. Try it on another computer, maybe one that is 32bit instead and see if you get the same error. Remember to install the drivers on the computer first before plugging in the phone.

[Q] Downgrading Bootloader, STUCK.

Hello all, I have an HTC HD7 TMOUS - UNLOCKED, working in Asia Subcontinent. I bought the phone and was stupid enough to update it to mango as soon as I got home. Now I'm stuck with 5.12 Bootloader. Okay, so I followed all the tutorials and then:-
1) Made a goldcard for one of my microsd cards. It's 1 GB so using EASEUS partition I built it down to 512mb on FAT32.
2) Extracted RUU_Signed, renamed it to SCHUIMG.nbh and copied it to card. Then patched my goldcard on it using Goldcardtool.
3) I made a USB Y cable myself as I didn't have one. I cut 2 Data Cables. One that I had to connect to my HD7 and the other that I had to connect to my HTC Evo 3D, This device I had to use as a card reader (USB Mass Storage) as I had no access to a female usb port. I joined the black and red wires of power and both data cables. I only joined the green wire with green and white with white of the two data cables.
4) I loaded my HD7 in USB host mode and then connected the other side of Y cable to Evo 3D. It began charging but didn't display the dialogue for USB Mass Storage. I switched the wires, and still the same thing happened. I booted my E3D into recovery, so that I can mount mass storage from there, clicked on mount, still nothing.
Nothing happens, it just keeps saying 'Enter USB Host Mode..'. I let the connection stay for 5+ mins before getting angry and taking it out. If anyone has any clue or idea or solution, please put it forward. I spent a great deal of time trying to unlock my phone and also writing this thread. Lol.
Thanks to anyone in advance who replies.

that could mean a half brick. if it is, the method described by the tutorial, i believe, will unbrick Bootloader.

How come its half-bricked? When I bought the phone it was barely used, I updated it to Mango myself and then used it. Never tried to unlock it or anything. And now that I tried, I noticed Serial already. can I have a link to types of bricks and solutions etc? Thanks a lot.

well, first...
does Serial change to USB when you connect your device to your computer via USB cable?
if it doesn't, it is half-bricked.
half brick: broken Bootloader, but a functional device
full brick: broken Bootloader and a nonfunctional device
no!!!
if the serial is not changing to USB...that means you dont have a driver on your pc.....and it is not being recognized by the pc....
Install the latest ActiveSync driver and it should work
