Anyone running Vegan build able to mount a USB stick to access files?
I've got a 50 in 1 USB reader that I am using.

Yep. 16, 32 and 64gb work fine for me.
Mounts memory stick without problem.
My suggestion would be to place the card into the reader first and then insert the stick into the USB port. If you do it the other way around i have had trouble.
Solved
Thanks for confirming. I did some experimenting. I originally had a micro SD card installed and tried rebooting and powering up from cold with and without the USB reader with no success.
I decided to remove the micro SD card and try the USB reader which worked great. Maybe there was something with the cached data preventing the USB reader from working. The red light on the USB reader was illuminated but it wouldn't mount it in /mnt/usbdisk.
After removing the micro SD card and inserting the USB reader everything works fine. I have them both inserted now and I can view all the files at ones from both locations
Thanks again for confirming.

Hey everyone,
I have a 1gb micro sd card. It apparently has bad blocks and cannot be recognized by my 8525 (WM6.1), vista pc or xp sp2 pc. I have the programs to recover the info on it, but none of these programs are effective because the card doesn't show up as a drive.
I am attempting to access the card directly from the phone. With the pc's I have an usb adapter that I know works because I use it for my 8gb micro sd card to swap information.
Can some one give me an answer on how to either fix the bad blocks or make the card recognizable by the ppc or pc's? The recovery programs I have say they will get info off a formated card, but I can't format what the phone or pc's doesn't recognize.
Thanks.
which apps did you try?
if if i'm not mistaken i managed to recover a card using Active Recovery 7
The easiest way for me was, plug your card back to where it gave you a bad blocks, and it should be readable, then backup your datas there,.
this is what i did to my 2GB miniSD for Olympus e520 SLR Camera (the camera lost now),.
I plug it in to my friend laptop, then it cant be readable by any device, then i plug it again, and its readable, then i back it up, then i leave the miniSD,.
Hey G, Thanks for the reply. The card went bad in a digital camera. So I should place the microsd card in the camera, use the usb cord to connect to the pc, remove the usb cord once the card doesn't read, then reconnect the usb cord?

I'll check out Active Recovery 7. Thanks.
I have a quick question. I have TnT lite 2.2 installed on my Gtab. If I plug in a USB thumbdrive, I can find the files on the Gtab. If I use a USB card reader, I cannot see where the files come up. I have gone through every folder, and the reader simply does not show up (yes, with a card in the reader).
Also, do all USB devices work? Where do they show up?
I am used to PC work, so getting used to this tablet is a bit of work

Try looking for usbdisk folder either using es file explorer or root explorer. Files from usb disk are in there

I tried that folder and it did not recognize the reader. The folder was empty.

try and reboot and then plug it in. if it still doesn't work, then maybe it just doesn't read the reader. only reads usb drives directly. it would be in the usbdisk folder btw.
Also keep in mind a lot of card readers (if not all) act like a bunch of drives even when there's nothing installed in them. That's why Windows pre-reserves drive letters for every slot on the gadget.
Readers like that may not work due to lack of proper drivers in Android ? Just a guess.
I don't have a portable SD reader at the moment (time for a DX order, I think). But, I have a microSD reader - one of those pen drives where you can add a microSD to it. That works fine in the VEGAn build, and I believe TnT Lite as well.
Tried the card reader for the CF cards from my camera. Had to plug the cable in 2 times but the card was seen and readable.

Was it a dedicated CF card reader or one of the multi readers? I have a multi reader I tried but couldnt get to come up. I am looking into a dedicated reader to see if that works.
It was a dedicated CF reader.
Since there is more than one slot, and Windows treats them as more than one drive, I would assume that one of the slots gets assigned as /usbdisk and the others are ignored. You are probably using one of the slots that is ignored.
Hopefully when we get the source, we can address these kinds of issues.
So essentially to get this to work, one needs to have just a dedicated reader for whatever style of memory card in use?
Cryofix in IRC has said that his 5-1 card reader worked. USB hubs work, so I don't see why these wouldn't. If you can, try putting a card in all of the slots to see if one is detected and then you'll know priority. There may be a way to remount the drives to different orders, but I have no idea how you would.
If you're rooted and have shell access you could manually mount the drives provided they're seen. They should be seen, I've had 6 devices hanging off a hub for mine and other than not knowing how(or not having the driver) to mount the DVD's UDF/ISO filesystem they all worked.
Count me in among the TnT Lite users who haven't yet figured out how to get their SD card reader to be recognized or mount. Mine has an LED on it that doesn't light up, leading me to believe it's not receiving power.
I have a 16gb micro sd card, worked fine, i formatted it to fat32 while it was in a phone that was connected to windows vista laptop. then when i took it out and put it in phone it wasnt recognised, so i put it in my friends android phone and it says it needs formatting, i click format but nothing happened, i put it into a computer it comes up as a removable disk saying please insert disk, when i go to manage on the computer and find it, only thing i can do is change the letter, and its coming up as 0 bytes. Any ideas?
Somebody must have an idea?
Try to format it under Linux.
If that does not work either, RMA it or throw it into the dustbin if out of warranty.
i only have a phone to put it in, i dont have a sd card reader, and when i put it in my n900 it doesnt come up under linux.
Shrug; SD card reader is given out for free with many SD cards... or borrow one from someone?
I have a sd card reader just not a slot for a micro sd, but surely if it doesnt come up on my n900 running linux then it wont with a card reader?

What slot? There are USB adapters, and there are miniSD/microSD to SD adapters for normal card readers (again, this is normally part of the package when you buy the SD card, where the hell did you get yours to get nothing of this?).
Do NOT try this via another phone, it simply is not useful. If the phone does not recognize the card, there is nothing for the PC to do. Phone attached via USB is NOT a card reader, it acts as a mass storage device.
Im trying a friends card reader tomoz but i dont have huge hopes.
Hello all,
I have a strange behavior :
32 gigs SD card unlocked
I can read write on PC but when I insert it into the SD slot of the Transformer's dock the property is switched to Read only.
If I take the same SD card and put in into a dongle and plug it into the USB slot : the property is now Read & Write...
Any hint please ?
Fand'
Anybody at least has faced this trouble ?
What program are you using to access the SD card in android? Where does it tell you that it is read-only/read-write.
I know in root explorer there is a toggle for read-write/read-only.
Can't say I have the same problem as you, but I have my own SD card problem with the dock.

I haven't faced this trouble with an SD card, but I have tried to plug in a 8GB USB Thumb Drive to the USB port on the dock and the TF won't even recognize it. So there may be some bug there that might be fixed with HC 3.2 update
Also, I have used a 2GB SD Card in the SD Card slot on the TF dock and it worked fine for me. I have the dock with serial # B50KAS, running stock HC 3.1.
Hello,
I use ES File Explorer.
The same SD card inserted in the dock in the SD reader has a property : Read
If I use a USB dongle, insert the sd card and plug it into the dock, the property is then Read Write...
Tried with another SD card and it worked normally (but it was a 16Gb).
Soooooo weird.
I will wait for the next update to see if there is any issue solve on the SD reader... sounds like a little problem for managing high capacity SD card.

Hi,
I can use my 16GB micro SD in the pad itself, but if I try to use a regular SD card it doesn't mount. Not even if I remove the micro SD. Is this a known issue, or is it just something with mine?
Cheers!
of what capacity is the regular sd card? I think (might be wrong) that the dock doesn't support certain capacities of cards. I have only ever used a microsd card in an adapter in the dock and that worked fine. Have you tried a reboot with the card in? can you see it in the file manager at all? I found that, when I can't mount a card, that switching file managers will work about 95% of the time.
I hope that helped a little bit
