Not 100 percent sure but i beleive someone said that you need to boot the device with the usb plugged in for it to recognize some drives?

It should be listed as usbdrive using your favorite file manager. Usually under
...
...
sdcard
sdcard2
usbdrive
Its not like windows. It doesn't pop up with a window when you plug it in. Flash drive must be formatted fat32. Android doesn't like ntfs

I do see the USB drive bit it's always empty. USB drive is fat32 formatted.
Using a USB mouse works great. I don't get a popup which notifies me about a connected usb drive like my archos 101 did.
Did a little discovery:
When connecting the tab to pc with a usb cable only then a "mount usb" message pops up.
Then a usb drive will work.
Now how do i get the gtab to mount the usb drive ?
I don't think any of these roms are gonna give you a popup when you load a usb drive. I just plugged one in on tnt 3.1 and it reads it thru file manager. I was on vegan beta4 and did the same thing yesterday
Edit: usb disk not usb drive
When you connect a cable from your pc to the tablet the pop up is to allow the tab to unmount the internal sdcard so your pc can read it.

I do not understand...what is location of the usb files then ?
Open iFileManager and hit the icon that looks like a house. Scroll down and you will find a folder named usbdisk. That is your usb drive. Open the folder. I'm assuming the usb drive is plugged in

/usbdrive is empty.
It becomes populates when i insert a mini usb cable and connect it to the pc.
This give me the mount option and only then i see files under /usbdrive.
idk then, I never had a problem reading the usb drive on vegan beta4. Sorry I can't help
OK, found it.
I have to unmount the sdcard first. Then the usb drive shows with files.
Thanks.
Cool....You may wanna drop a note in the vegan thread on what you did. Maybe others have had the same issue.

Hey. I just got a USB Flash Drive and tried connecting it to my GTab but no dice. I am running Vegan 5.1 and using ES File Explore. I navigate to the root directory and see sdcard, sdcard2, and usbdisk. Sdcard and sdcard2 has my internal storage and my micro usb storage files respectively. But nothing pops us in usbdisk. I tried removing the microsd, rebooting with the USB inserted, and unmounting the microSD but no dice.
Any hints?
Thanks,
Scott
Update: So I tried going to settings and unmounting the sdcard and now I can see the USBdisk. Odd. If I want to transfer data from one drive to another, I cant accomplish that because the SDcard is unmounted. Also all my appdata and stuff are not present. Any way to have both of these drives mounted at the same time?
Thanks

[Q] My Computer doesnt reconize my Infuse

When I plug my usb cord into my Infuse and into my desktop, the desktop doesnt see the Infuse. I have the usb settings set to use the Infuse as a mass storage device, but nothing. If I put any other device or card in one of my slots, the computer instantly see's the device and reads it.. help

If you are running windows 7 and all else fails, open device manager and find the samsung or unknown device and try to uninstall all samsung drivers, be sure when the computer asks if you want to uninstall the files too to select "yes/ok". After doing that reboot the computer let it settle down til the hard drive lite indicator on computer does not blink.
After that securly plug the usb cable into the phone and into the computer
wait 15-30 seconds more or less and if you are running windows 7 and are connected to internet then windows will automatically install fresh drivers into your computer and most likely your problem will be solved..
If this solves the problem it means that your samsung drivers for some reason got corrupted.
Also just because your computer reconizes "other cards" that does not mean that it will reconize your samsung phone.. The samsung fone requires specific drivers to be install for it to reconize your phone.
For sdcards, flash drives, external hard drives windows only uses its generic usb drivers, thats why your computer reconizes the usb cards properly now even though it does not reconize your phone.
Good luck.

Hellfire 2.1 USB Mass Storage Faulty?

I'm new to Android custom roms and just flashed my G2x to Hellfire 2.1. Everything went pretty smoothly as I have relatively strong tech knowledge and followed all the guidelines carefully. The phone is now running a lot faster and everything looks great, with the exception of USB storage. After extensive searches I can't seem to find the solution to the problem.
The phone doesn't have an external SD card and I store everything on the internal SD. Under CM settings I have set the phone to use the internal SD. Latest LG G2x USB driver has been installed on Windows.
Now by default, USB debugging on the phone is ON. When I plug in the USB cable, the "Turn on USB storage" screen doesn't show up on phone and no SD drive is detected windows. When I turn USB debugging off, the "Turn on USB storage" screen comes up, and after clicking "On", Windows correctly detects the drive.
But after the phone reboots (USB debugging is now off since I set it off before reboot), the USB stops working again. This time the "Turn on USB storage" screen does show up on the phone, but after clicking it to turn on, Windows does not detect any drive. Basically nothing happens. However, the strange thing is if I go to turn the USB debugging back on, phone again prompts to turn on USB storage, and this time if I turn it on, Windows detects the drive. Then I turn off the debugging again, and it still works fine (screen comes up and Windows can detect).
So basically it works until the next reboot. No matter how the debugging option is set, the USB simply won't work right away. (If it's set to off, the problem described in the previous paragraph applies. If it's set to on, the phone simply won't show the "Turn on USB Storage" screen as stated initially in the post.
I have gone back and force and tweaked various settings all with the same result. I have also made sure to test this on different computers with fresh installed G2x drivers and they all exhibit the same problem.
Your help will be appreciated.
Assuming you flashed it correctly using nulifier to wipe and than flashed I would reboot to recovery go to advanced and fix permissions... Reboot turn debugging on and check use internal storage. The reboot again and than see if that fixes it for you.. I have 2.1 flashed and when I mount both sd's mount internal and external so it should be working for you if not you might have a corrupted download and would have to redownload and flash again

Do you mean you have both internal and external SD, and when you plugin the USB cable (I assume you have USB debugging on), both cards mount to the OS as two drives? Could you please do me a favor by taking out the external SD, and see if the internal SD would still mount correctly?
And btw are you mounting under Windows or Linux?
Thanks a lot.

DJLamontagneIII:
I finally got an external SD in. I reflashed, left USB debugging on. When I plugin the USB cable, the phone's "Turn On USB Storage" screen doesn't come up, but I noticed that in the pull down's notification/running it's there, below the "USB debugging turned on" ,so if I click that, the "Turn On USB" screen shows up, and after clicking to turn on, both drives mount on Windows.
Is this how your phone behaves too? If yours actually have the "Turn On USB Storage" screen pop up on front (just like the stock ROM does), what do you think is causing mine to behave in this way?
Thanks again.
