I'm currently on ICBINB KH1 and after flashing it I noticed I can't mount the sd card when I connect it to my computer so I can transfer files from my computer to my external sd card on my phone. I was able to do this on all Froyo ROMs.
I thought to myself maybe it's the ROM so I tried flashing back to KC1 through Odin. When I tried mounting it, it worked. So I tried flashing KG4 through Odin and tried mounting to my pc again and it wouldn't recognize it anymore again. I tried flashing KH1 through Odin as well and same issue.
Anyone else having this issue?
I'm currently reformatting my sdcard with my PC and going to see if that will fix the issue but I don't think that is the problem.
Can you access the SD card files from the ROM itself when you have GB? I wasn't ever able to, much less mount it from the computer.

Yes I can from the ROM. I can take it out the phone and use an adapter to connect also.
I guess I'll try a suggestion and go into disk management.

I just read that post too. Was coming back here to post about it. I think if you hear your computer recognize your phone (the sound when you plug the phone in) you'll be good. I've had that problem before, not only with this phone and disk management tends to fix it.

I did apply the fix of SD card read/write. But still not able to get the high speed in CWM mode. 2MB/s is the best I can get.

The SD card speed bug should not affect the SD card in recovery. Only when you are in Android.

yup - this is what i do as well and it works fine ..
sometimes it may feel like a bit of a hassle tho, because you'll be out of phone connectivity for a while - especially if the file you're transferring is large.

I know that. thx anyway.
But why a slower rate in a normal andriod os? is it a bug without solution yet?
I think its got something to do with the ns being seen as a media-storage..
i also cant listen to music on my pc if i plug in my phone.... ill try if it works when i plug it in while in recovery mode!

Hi All -
Not a good day for me at all I installed one of the latest Stock Odexed ROM. Then for some reason I wanted to reinstall it so went to Touch v6.0.1.5 recovery and wiped everything without taking nandroid back up as I was 100% sure that I have all my different ROMs in my external card. Then after wiping the device when I went to my external card to install the ROM I found nothing in there !!! Total phone wiped out !!! Now cant even go to Download Mode to install a ROM using odin. Tried adb reboot download but still No luck. Cant go to download mode. May be my USB cable or PC has issues, wont detect my phone right now every time I want to go to download mode it goes to recovery mode. Hence cant install any ROM. Please help !!!
I also installed the Samsung USB driver but still my PC wont detect my phone.
My device is Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket.
You help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.
If you can still access recovery just DL another ROM and flash it. I must be missing something here. Is the phone usable?
Most likely it's the OP that's missing something, being in panic.
OP, get an SD card, load any ROM on it, insert it into your phone, boot to recovery, install ROM, profit.

Smart idea !!! I am so dumb, this idea didnt come to my head But currently cant do it because there is no way I can access (read/ write) the Micro SD card so that I can trasfer a ROM there and install it by going to the recovery. Any idea? I dont have the card reader.
Does the phone still boot to OS?

Thanks buddy but the problem is I cant access my Micro USB Card. The phone doesnt boot and gets stuck at the SAMSUNG logo.
In both TWRP and CWM recoveries you have "Mount USB storage" option.
Connect your phone to PC with USB cable, use that option, and copy the ROM right on your USB storage.
Or grab a card reader for $1 from eBay To have one just in case. Or use any other phone (family/friends) for copying the ROM on the SD card. So many options...

Thats the only option I see Jack_R1, either buy a card reader or use friends one. I tried Mount USB Storage before but nothing happened. And other issue I have been having for last few weeks is - my PC wont detect my phone, it says unrecognized device or something. So I have been using FTP for transferring ROM and other files to my phone.
But I will try with a card either for now. Hope that helps otherwise will need guidance from expert ppl like you all.
Thanks again. Appreciate for your quick responses.
You said in the OP that you tried adb reboot download. So do you have adb installed? If so have you installed the google drivers?? Here's the link:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
If you don't have them installed do so. Then type:
Code:
adb devices
You might need to exit SDK manager and reboot your comp before it shows. Also there is a program called usbdeview you can DL to remove any drivers you have installed that might coflict.
Never heard of having recovery but not download.... Sure you don't have a usb cable/connection problem?

He most probably has a problem with USB port - requiring some cleaning (and hopefully nothing more). Likely one of the data (D+/D-) pins isn't connecting.

As you guys suggested - I am cleaning the USB Drivers. usbdview looks a pretty handy tool didnt know about this one. Download ADT and Google USB driver. Will try it out soon.
But now my phone is back to its' life Thanks so much to all of you !!! I dont know how it formatted both the sdcard and external storage !!!Any idea? Can a ROM do this? (well fortunately I backed up all my files from the Micro SD last night)
Best Regards folks. You guys Rock !!!

Jack_R1 - what is the best way to clean the USB port? I will keep you posted if driver clean up and re-installation helps to detect the phone or not.
Toothpick and gently going over all contacts inside the socket.
Prying up on the prong ever so gently(it really don't take much) with a toothpick worked for me. Although now that I think about it, the toothpick may have just helped clean it ^^^

Hey all. Is there a way to recover deleted photos? I'm running Alliance ROM Build 22. I've been Googling like a mad man, but all the methods require enabling USB mass storage which isn't possible on 4.3. Is there any other way? Or am I screwed Please they are irreplaceable pictures that I meant to back up. :'(
Were those pictures on phone memory or on external card....??

well if that is the case then you can simply pull out your sd card, plug that into your computer and use any recovery software to recover your data ..

Your second thread will be deleted or closed soon.
And you don't have to enable usb otg manually just connect otg cable and then device that you want to connect.

But every time i connect the otg cable and a flash drive, it pops up in the notification saying that USB storage is safe to remove. And i cant find device in the folders i'm using root explorer. I check it on sdcard and on the internal and i cant find it, so it means that my phone cant read it. Am i right? Thanks.

I can only assume not many users are actually using mass storage devices. Which is a supprise given the storage limitations.
