I can access my sd card through a reader but I can't access my phone through usb (but it still charges). I have 2 partitions, one is fat32 (with some music, pictures and stuff) and another is ext3 (i reformatted it last night thinking it might be that but it wasn't)
Basically, I've tried it on xp, vista, win7 but win7 and vista it says it has malfunctioned and then when I go device manager its called unknown device
I have used swapper and most likely did try to mount my phone which I've heard screws up your card. So before I do it do I need to reformat my fat32 partition and if I do have to should I reformat it to fat32 or fat?
Or is there another solution?
Thank you
Have you tried formatting it from within the G1. settings->sd card -> format? You'll want Fat32 if formatting elsewhere, also if you want multiple partitions I'd try formatting the whole card first, then partitioning/formatting again.
Make sure you have a drive letter assigned to the FAT32 partition. (Eg. F:/)
hmmm
On xp it just says unknown device, I've reformated from my pc (the fat32 partition) maybe it would be an idea to do it from the phone. I just don't know what to do tbh I mean its weird. Do you think its to do with app2sd?
hmm
And I can't sign a driver letter because it doesn't come up with mount on my phone all it does it charge

Are you using the data cable that came with the phone? I lost mine a while back and tried using just a regular USB to Type A (the port on the phone) on the phone and got the same results. It'll use the power from the USB drive but won't mount or even connect.
Also, you might want to try to install the Android USB Driver for Windows. It's floating around here somewhere, just do a search for it.
If you have adb installed there's a command called ?adb kill server? or something like that. Sry on phone right now but a google search should help. Sometimes this process has been knows to fix similar problems where the pc doesn't recognize the phone. Not sure why it woult effect mass storage tho. But wth worth a try I suppose.
Well I'm using the data cable that came with the phone, adb remount just gives error:device not found and I have usb drivers because I have used this phone on this laptop before so you know
This is annoying
I've tried reflashing my spl but still no dice, I just dont get it :S
Like everyone else has stated, Format your entire card to fat32 and setup your partitions again. That should do it. the SPL doesn't really affect it. GL
Ill have a go
Right I'm going to have a go now
Ill tell you my results
Good luck Kushion!
I had the same problem only my sd card would actually show and mount for a second then unmount. I finally gave up and went and bought an sd card .
this is what I do now.
vm ware player http://www.vmware.com/products/player/
I believe with this running and a guest os I can mount the sd card.
I know for sure that I can do it with ubuntu but im not completely sure with windows 7.
This is also good for "sandboxing" programs or testing files to see if they have a virus. by running the guest os in the virtual software you are not infecting your main os . I use it when i wanna test things but dont wanna run the risk of borking my main os.
god daaaaaaaaammit
right I have deleted the ext3 partiton and then reformated it all to fat32, I then wiped, I then reinstalled cyragon firmware and booted and guess what...
doing the same thing :|
It lets in power but doesn't let me mount, doesnt even give me the option
I am having the same exact problem. My work computer, have always used it, same cable, same everything, then all of the sudden today I came to work, had some downtime was going to mess with my phone and it won't recognize my phone. Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers at least ten times but to no avail. Any help greatly appreciated.

I know this is a bit old, but the topic got bumped and I saw this one... I do most of my "work" on my phone here at the office, and just use a standard MiniUSB cord with no problem. Not that you're the first one I've heard say that, but I don't think your phone (or PC?) is working right if that is the problem.. The ExtUSB cable that comes with the phone has standard data pins, just extra headset pins - that's the only difference.

Reboot the PC? Maybe an obvious question, but just in case. And.. It sounds like you have a reasonable level of admin access to the PC, but just in case - are you sure your employer hasn't blocked mass storage devices? I'm in IT myself, so I can use it on my PC.. But if I tried to plug my G1 into any of our other PCs here, it would happily charge away but never mount the drive, due to our security policies.
Wow old thread but similar problem...
My wife's G1 won't mount to pc as a mass storage device, however mine does without a problem. I have the drivers, sdk. I can see the phone through adb, it just won't mount. Also, I've tried it on both our pc's which are win7 x64. Check sig for phone details.
Hello,
recently I flash my O2x with stable CM7 and from then I have issue with usb mounting. I plug the usb on the pc and a USB composite device appears with problem (device can't start). This happens also if enable/disable usb debugging or press the button for the usb storage support. I have try the 173 nightly same thing. To be sure that there is no problem with the pc I have try it on 2 different laptops.
Also to be sure that is CM7 issue and not my mobile I have restore a backup with the stock rom and everything works perfect.
Do we have any idea what is the problem?
Have you installed an LG Mobile driver pack?
in 2 from the 3 pc was installed (the third one is from a friend that has a LG laptop(!) and HTC phone)
I have a similar problem with CM7. I flashed first with NB 157 and now I'm with the latest one but I've never figured how to mount the phone as a usb storage. I use the default CM mounting points. SD card is mounted as /sdcard and internal is /emmc titanium backup, rom manager and all other software works fine with the sdcard, but every time I try to mount it as storage the windows popup that the USB Device cannot be recognized. I've installed the latest drivers from LG'w website. Also I've tried on 2 different PC's both with windows 7 but no luck. Also I've read somewhere in the forums that Dual Mount SD Widget can mount the SD card, i purchased it from the market but it doesn't work.
This is generally an issue with cm7 based roms. It's only reported on Windows and I haven't seen this problem in Linux.
If you have CWM, use it to mount your disk from recovery
Thank you for the tip but I've tried mounting usb storage in recovery and it doesn't work on Windows 7 64 bit. Also I've reinstalled the LG drivers but no luck so far.
Actually in recovery the OS recognize the phone and installs about 4-5 drivers including the Mass Storage one. Unfortunately there is one unidentified device in a list and when it fail to recognize it doesn't mount the phone as storage.

I'm thinking this is a driver issue. Any chance of getting your hands on a linux?
Anyway, CWM mount works for me in win7_64. It's weird why it doesn't on your setup. I've read of USB tethering issues on GB roms like cm7, but not on stock-based GB roms. Could be a driver issue fixed deep within the kernel to work on the specific board.
Try using topogigi's or paul's rom. USB mount works on both.
I've tried it on Ubuntu and it works like charm. Actually both emmc and sdcard are recognized and mounted as separate flash drives.
I'm seeing some mounting fixes in here: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=p990
This might fix mount problems on next latest release. Haven't tried it yet though. You might want to check the kang thread if someone built from the latest sources
What do you mean on next release? Everything you see there is in #177

My bad. I meant the next nightly release at the time of my post above. I'm now on nightly_177 but haven't tried mount on Windows. Works as always in Linux
I can confirm that cm7.1 stable through 177 the usb mounting doesn't work under windows but only under linux.
Does anyone know where i can put it as a bug?
Its working for me, had a problem when I tried it first, after that, power cycle phone, reinstalled the SD card and after that everything worked...it might be also that I reinstalled the LG drivers yesterday before doing this.

It's a difficult one, as it doesn't affect everyone. My USB mounting is still fine.
For what it's worth, I'm using LG United Mobile Driver v3.4
It just says one of the usb devices connected to this computer has malfunctioned. I have tried reloading drivers. Reflashed ICS onecosmic 4.2 again, Tried another usb cable but all no good! HELP ME PLEASE!! My wifes phone connects no worries. I even tried connecting mine to another computer and that was no good either......
It will charge when connected to computer so thats working but it wont connect
Do you have the nexus drivers installed? as the samsung ones wont work with the ics port.
They are part of the android sdk found here : http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html (instructions on page on how to install ect , there is also a link to download drivers only here : www.multiupload.com/BUCFT8M42N , but that seems to be down atm.
If Nexus S drivers don't fix it, clean your micro usb port.
I had a similar issue with Windows stating that my connection was malfunctioning. Cleaning the micro usb port with some rubbing alcohol and a micro brush (for cleaning teeth) fixed that problem for me.
Don't forget to take your battery out before cleaning your micro-usb port.
Thanks guys going to give this a go now.
Found another direct download link here : http://androiddrivers.net/samsung-android-drivers/download-nexus-s-drivers/
Thanks guys but no luck. Tried cleaning it but no luck either. I have recalled getting rain on the phone the other day and the usb cover was open! I think this is what has caused it.....Question is can I load new ICS Roms etc onto my external SD via a sd card in computer then transer them onto my internal card to flash? Then I wont have to worry about the usb....
Anyone know the answer
Your recovery doesnt allow flashing from external SD cards? Weird... Otherwise, you should be able to open up internal storage from any (Good) File manager. I use FX and FileXplorer to move files back and forth.
Make sure to move the files to internal sdcard first

Yes that would just do fine... You shouldn't face any problems in flashing...
Well thanks for your help guys, I ended up flashing 4.0.4 rom on my phone and now its working....I dont know that maybe it dried out and self fixed or it was a rom issue??
I was trying the new version of stickmount to see if I could use it to mount my ntfs drive and was trying out workarounds when I came across a post recommending the use of usb host fix. I ran the app, restarted as directed and voila! Now nothing shows up when I connect my otg cable. I've tried my fat32 hdd which was working fine and a card reader and nothing!
I'd moved from 4.1.2 to the stock german 4.3 rom on my rooted I9305 and paragon's ntfs app would no longer mount my drive so I decided I'd check to see if there was anything else I could do before wiping 900gb's of data and formatting it to fat32. Now I wish I had!
I've contacted the dev and tried chainfire's usb diagnostic app as well as usb host controller - which stated S3C usb host driver not found.
Please let me know your suggestions as I desperately need to be able to connect via my otg cable - my phone has taken the place of my netbook when i travel so that I can backup my photo's and transfer music and movies from my hdd's to the phone. I'm heading out to South America and REALLY need this function back!
Dear friends,
I searched in google for the OTG Support for xperia sp, I got several answers shows that, someone said YES and someone said NO.
Actually I'm using C5302 without root (in .266 F/W), in my experiance it wont support OTG. Several times i connected the XSP with different pendrives, but nothing happens. But In storage menu there is an option for Mount USB Storage... what is the use of that? Some websites shows xperia sp has OTG support. So my questions are
1. Could any one connect OTG without root?
2. If YES, is ur device C5302 or C5303?
3. Is it possible with any other File Manager (like solid explorer)?
4. If i root my device, is this possible?
one more thing, in solid explorer there is a folder available for USB storage. When i touch it shows no root access. If i root my device can i access that folder? is this folder contains external usb storage?
Well, I'm still on .254 but my OTG cable works. The USB-folder is normally on XSP /storage/usbdisk/. Weird though, because I never heard of Android 4.3 uncompatibility. Even ICS supports OTG. You might check your cable.

I'm not sure about this, but I think there was some article about S3 needing a special cable for OTG, the usual ones didn't work. It was mentioned that the cable that worked for S2 wouldn't work with S3. So it could be that this special cable would not work for other phones?
If you can, try another cable, something that works with other phones, just not the latest Galaxy series.
Friends,
When i connect my pendrive, it dosent shows any change in my phone. But lost.dir folder appear in pendrive(when it connect with PC) does it mean my phone detect that pendrive? but i cant access any thing. is ter any step to follow? already check with new cable and new pendrive, but no change.
Otg works normally straight out the box.
If you are still facing problems try using, stick mount or otg helper apps free on play store.
I don't have issue on Sp... but my n7 does and these apps help.

and for me it worked OTG

I think, c5302 cannot support OTG without root...!!!!! Anyone here could connect c5302 with OTG without root?
Maybe your pendriver is NTFS, it support FAT32 only i belive
Filesystem can be one of the reason.
I have c5303 and can connect lot of devices without root on .254 stock rom. Only my 16GB Kingston Pendrive didnt work
On 4.3 Kingston pendrive work as well. Without root.
I dont think that for OTG in c5302 you MUST have root. Its "normal" device support. It didnt ask for persmissions when you connect usb device. Just try at first generic mouse or keyboard and see if it work. When not. Try another cable.
Also try .266 firmware. It has a little more drivers for USB devices. (example my Kingston)

Finally... I conculded that.............
No otg support for xperia SP C5302 without root...........!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its too sad
I check with 3 different cables and 8 different pendrives ( including sandisk, kingston sony and transend etc)
But nothing happens.. In solid explorer there is a folder names USB Disk.. when i tap on that it shows no root access (Im running unrooted) also USB Disk mount in storage menu still not tappable

The pendrives were FAT32 formatted?
As I have understood from other threads FAT32 should work and NTFS will not work.
