[Q] Touchpad won't mount usb storage anymore

So, i installed CM9, and... well, i can't mount USB mode anymore on Android, WebOS, with power+vol. up or with Clockmod...
Windows and Mac OSX says that storage is damaged and needs a format (But i can turn on the device and load Webos or Android)
So, what can i do?
Thank you guys.
Ok, i'm doing webos doctor 3.0.5
This tools is great... lol.
Go to Clockworkmod to format sdcard, this will delete all of your data
Then you can mount and install CM09
My touchpad did the same exact thing. Called HP to have it exchanged, as I also have the cracks in the case. My touchpad however, would not recognize the OEM charger within webos, connect novacom/novaterm when in bootloader mode, or connect usb in any scenario.
Hope you have better luck than me.
i solved the problem thanks to the doctor. So i reinstalled webos with doctor 3.0.5, did ACMEUninstaller and then erase data safely on webos.
i had the same problem and i found the usb cable is stuffed,i connected my samsung cable and everything working fine again.the charger works fine with samsung cable.

[Q] TouchPad Will Not Appear As USB disk on Mac Lion

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?

[Q] Recovering empty disc space

I have a 64 GB Touchpad. Originally I had created a 10 GB extf3 partition for Ubuntu on it. Then, with Android ICS working quite well, I deleted Ubuntu and recovered the partition. In WebOS the system information says 64 GB. But I cannot actually use the recovered 10 GB, Internalz Pro reports only 47 GB and so does Android. So the 10 GB are still unformatted? The WebOS Tailor app is not working for me, so how can I revover the lost space and make it usable again?
Perhaps I can do it from the terminal with WQI?
Thanks for your help

Try taking the card out of the phone. Use a card reader on your computer and use mini tools partition program. It should do the job.
Make a backup, in case things go South...... Good luck.

Sorry, you misunderstood. It is the Touchpad, not the Pre. The Touchpad has no card, only the internal flash memory.
with the touchpad mounted on your PC, does it show 64?
(mount it in recovery)
does webos doctor fix it?

Mounted from Android it reports 45.2GB, connected via WebOS it is the same. How do you mount in recovery? When I am in WebOS recovery mode the PC doesn't recognize the Touchpad.
I didn't run the doctor yet, would the doctor fix this and reformat the partition?
in clockwork recovery, you can mount usb drive by entering Mounts and Storage option and choosing Mount Usb, and it will be visible to your pc. but it sounds like you might have an invisible partition, in cases of that partition being on a sdcard it took a special program on the PC to repartition the sdcard to recover the size.
you can't format the touchpad without losing everything, i don't think that would be safe but i haven't tried it. if anybody claims to have done it safely then they will hopefully chime in
you can run the webos doctor safely though and it might fix the partition, your only loss would be reinstalling Android the original way

[Q] Problem with Touchpad usb mounting

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!

Can't write to sdcard from laptop when connected as a mass storage device

I've got a rooted GT-9295 running CM 12.1 Sept 18 build. When I connect a USB cable from my phone to my laptop, I get a "mass storage (UMS)" connection. I am then able to see everything on the SDCard, however I am unable to write to the card from my laptop. What is the solution for this?
Current stock CM 12.1 build is 2/14/2016 and I still cannot write to the external SDCard when connected as a USB device to a PC running MSWindows or Linux. This is inconvenient. Suggestions to resolve? Thanks.

SOLVED: The laptop OS is Suse Linux. Installing mtpfs on the laptop solved this problem allowing me to write on the internal sdcard and the removable sdcard.
Curiously, mtpfs is not needed on this laptop to write to an i9295 with a stock Samsung OS, neither is in needed to write to my Google Nexus tablet, Panasonic JTB1, or Motorola Defy+. Only to have write privileges on the i9295 running Cm12.1.
