Pull down the notification bar and tap the USB for Charging (not the debugging one). It will be charge only, change it to MTP

[Q] My N1 Would not Prompt to Mount SD Memory When I connect it to my PC

I needed to transfer some files from my N1 to my Pc, so I connected it to my PC using the cable. I was expecting the black mounting screen prompting me to mount the SD card, but nothing happened. I restarted my device twice, but the case is still the same. What could have been wrong? I have not installed any app within this time, not removed any. I have used it in just ordinary daily manner, messaging and calling and nothing else. My N1 runs on Froyo, OTA. No jailbreak.
Please help. Thank you
u need to assign a drive letter to your SD card
Noob answer: is it on the status pulldown bar?
Do you have USB Debugging enabled?
Does the phone recognise that it's been plugged in (ie start charging)?
Similar problem
I am having a similar problem with my N1 running CM6 stable. When I turn off USB debugging and plug the phone into my Win7 laptop, I get the USB connected screen, but when I turn on USB storage the SD drive doesn't mount i.e. I cannot see/access the drive in Windows 7. The N1 status bar says USB storage is on.
Under Device Manager, the N1 shows up as Android Phone-->Android ADB Interface with driver version 2.0.10.2 dated 11/08/2009.
Any help would be much appreciated.

No, THIS is exactly the problem, the phone dies not recognise that it has been connected to a computer. It does start charging, but no sign of SD memory mount/unmount. Nothing. Just simply charging.

No, USB debugging is not enabled. I double checked it.
I guess that Windows also doesn't recognize the phone as anything (Device Manager doesn't show anything new plugged in)?
In that case, enable USB Debugging, and see if the phone is recognized by Windows.
If it is - the problem is somewhere in SW.
If it isn't - then it might be a faulty USB cable or connector (from any side - phone or PC).
same thing happens to me from time to time. restart your computer and that should fix your problem.

Captivate Headache

After I root my captivate I can't put anything else on the internal SD card because it won't show up on my computer(When I plug in the phone, it says usb connected, but nothing comes up in "My Computer" that it is connected) But if I do a factory reset, it will show up, but then it is not rooted...
Once it says USB connected bring down the notification bar and click on the USB alert and mount it to the PC then you will be able to copy things to your device.
Moving this to Q&A
This could also be because USB debugging is still enabled from when you did one click root. Go to settings, Applications > Development > and uncheck USB debugging... then try it
I've disabled usb debugging and clicked on the usb connected notification, it just sends the notification bar to the top again, still not showing up

Once you click on the notification it should ask you if you want to mount it. that did not come up?

[Solved] USB Mass Storage Mode Issues (CM7)

I am having issues with the activation of USB Mass Storage mode on CM7 v7.10. When I first connected my nook (just got it yesterday), I was able to enable mass storage mode as per normal. However, after this it's just stopped working!
There's nothing wrong with the cable afaics because the empty drives come up on the PC (Win7) no problem, it's just that the nook doesn't detect that the USB is plugged in and so never gives me the option to enable Mass Storage mode. I have had success once running ROM Manager's 'Fix Permissions' function, but since then it's not made any differences. The issue remains on multiple PCs with multiple cables.
Anyone got any fixes for this issue?
+ can you wiggle the micro-usb end a bit to see if anything better?
+ do you have the "usb debugging" check?
+ do you see the usb icon displayed on the NC notification bar?
- No wiggling makes any difference
- Tried with USB debugging on and off - no difference
- No USB icon (but empty drives still show up on my PC) so there is some kind of connection going on.
If the empty drives do show up on the PC, it definitely some sorts of connection made, it's a good sign.
Now back on your NC, go into Storage, try to Unmount then Remount the uSD and see if it gets any going.
Note: leave the Debugging USB Mode on.
Might also be worth considering moving from 7.1 to the MiRaGe 7.2 build. I'm not saying there is a specific fix but using the later ROM may help and I think most people find it more stable, faster and problem free.
Yeah, I actually updated to KANG 7.2 this avo and the USB Mass Storage option is back!
Thanks everyone for your suggestions!
I currently having KANG Mirage 7.2 with Tablet Tweak but it did not work. I bought an OTG cable from ebay so I assumed it's bc the OTG cable. The Drive works fine on my laptop but nothing appears on the Nook.
Maybe a re-flash with the same ROM might do the trick?
I'll try to reflash sometime soon!
Will post
uSB mass storage
I had the same issue. Have the USB connected and while connected reboot your device once it has rebooted you'll be able to access the USB files on your device. You'll be able to see the USB signal at the bottom, which you can activate. You'll have to do this most likely everytime you want to access USB storage

I'm on MIRAGE 7.2 running off EMMC. SD card is in the Nook.
I shut nook off, plugged in the cable to my pc and started the nook.
5 drives show up but I cannot access any of them. The USB icon is in the tray on the Nook and it says "USB connected". Just above that it says, "USB debugging connected"
Anybody have any success?
After doing some reading I've decided to use ES-FILE Explorer wirelessly. Its very easy to use. You need to SHARE folders on your PC in order for it to access the files.
Playing around with the USB option some more, I didn't realize that you could TOUCH the message in the notification bar. When you do, it launches a program and from there, you turn the USB connection on or off.
Geeeeeeez........ya learn something new every day.

Connecting to a pc

I'm on the latest update (8.1.0 may security) and I'm trying to connect my 7 plus to my PC, but nothing happens. The PC doesn't install any drivers and my phone isn't showing up in devices. I'm not getting the notification I'm supposed to get on my phone either, the phone is charging though. I have tried to connect to different PC:s as well.
Does anyone else have this problem?
@Floyd
Have you enabled developer mode and set USB debugging to on? Otherwise drivers or not the PC will not communicate with the Nokia.

When the phone is plugged into PC make sure
that on the status bar it is not showing charging on USB but MTP (file transfer) other than that it must be driver related.

As Stransky said, did you enable File transfer or MTP from notification bar on the phone?
You won't get notifications on PC if USB is set for charging only.

Exactly same problem here, my Nokia 7 Plus only says charching and I don't get a notifiaction. My PC also doesn't react.
Have you found any solution yet?
Unplug the cable. Enable developer options, then find "default USB configuration" and change it to mtp. Replug the cable

Is this how you solved it on your phone? Doesn't seem to work for me though...

since it doesn't even recognize that the device was connected to the pc, it was a guess. you can also try to plug it into a different USB port. for me, it did recognize the connection itself but it did not install the MTP driver properly. i just manually installed it from here: c:\Windows\INF\wpdmtp.inf (right click and install)
Going to settings -> System -> about phone, and then find the 'Build number' option, several click it until system ask for password to enable developer mode. After done this, return to settings -> System, find the 'Developer options' and click it, and enable the 'USB debugging' option. Now using the command 'adb devices' will show our phones.
Well I had same issue with Nokia 6.1 plus running 8.1.0 but I was using 3rd party cable which din't support data transfer except charging phone. So I used OEM Foxconn original charging cable and it quickly detect my phone and installed driver itself. try changing cable and turn on USB Debugging if needed.
Is this how you solved it bro, doesn't seem to be working for my phone?
Try a different cable. I had the same issue now and the problem was the cable I was using wasn't fit for data transfer. When I tried a cable which came with the phone it worked.
With the old cable I tried all the suggestions and nothing worked. I would connect the phone to my PC and it would only charge but no option to choose USB mode (file transfer).
Tried another cable and the USB mode option came up straight away. Hope it helps someone
