I have a couple problems that I've been having since rooting my phone and installing cyanogen. I'm currently using cyanogenmod 4.2.2 with recovery 1.4 on my t-mobile g1. Also, I have the CM updater.
1. When I am using my stock headset, the phone restarts automatically at random intervals. Also, when the headphones are plugged in when the phone initially starts, the phone will definitely restart shortly after the home screen finishes loading.
2. When I am listening to music through the stock headset (either through the base music app or pandora) and I receive a call or text message, I lose all sound functionality (including in-call sounds) When this happens I have to unplug my phone and restart it again to regain sound functionality.
Are these bugs with the following that others are experiencing that can't be avoided:
1. cyanogenmod or
2. root or
3. cyanogen recovery 1.4?
Am I the only one that has had these problems? Is there another ROM that anyone would recommend that would most likely rectify this?
Help!!!!
I have the same problem.
No idea how to fix it?
G1
CyanogenMod 4.2.2
I think I fixed my own problem
I flashed this new radio:
http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip
Then I backed up my sd card, formatted it, and partitioned it into a main fat32 partition and a 500mb ex2 partition.
Then I wiped and re-flashed cyanogen 4.2.2 and it works!!!
Also, it took me a while to figure out how to partition my sd card. It seems there is no easy way to do this with windows vista. I had to use Ubuntu's partition manager called "gparted". Apparently this can be done without actually installing Ubuntu if you just boot from the CD, but my computer wouldn't read the sd card through Ubuntu until I installed ubuntu and downloaded the updates. Then when I was done I tried to delete the Ubuntu partition (VERY BAD IDEA). Now my computer won't boot at all and I have to find a way to re-write my master boot record (MBR) which I don't know how to do. CRAP!!!

Dude, take your HDD out of the computer, put it inside a USB enclosure and save your data, then just delete all partitions and install Windows again. Next time, you can just install Ubuntu from INSIDE Windows with "wubi.exe".
As for the sporadic resets, I am having the same problem. Only thing is: I had just flashed the 4.2.2 rom in the phone, wiped, and just then, being in the WC, I get a call, take the phone out of my pocket, it slips from my hand and drops right inside the can (yes, it had just been cleaned, Thank God), took it out fast enough, battery out. Couldn't find the screwdriver for it so I shook as much water as I could off, and let it dry in front of a full throttle fan for about 12 hrs.
It reset itself some times after that, but I don't know if the problem is the Rom, hope it is, (sorry). Next thing I know is, there's an update to ver. 4.2.5, so I updated, hasn't done it again yet, it's been 36hrs.
Hope I could help and anoy you some guys...
I have the same problem with my G1 (cyanogenMod-4.2.5 kernel 2.6.29.6-cm42 baseband 62.505.20.17H_2.22.19.26I), had to change from cyanogenMod-3.6.6 hoping it will fix the reboot problem, but it doesn't change
I reformat SD card (1 Gb) and repartitioned it, doesn't fix the problem. The difference is that is reboots now less frequently (with cyanogenMod-3.6.6 it started reboot suddenly and did it every 20min - 3 hrs, now 1-3 times a day).
Seems that it somehow related to WiFi connection, and may be email receiving process (may be free space problem? But as far as i can check there is free space available on the SD card).
If with cyanogenMod-3.6.6 i could assume that some new installed application caused it, then with 4.2.5 i didn't install anything, and it starts rebooting again recently.
Is there a way to write a log or something to see which app caused reboot? It's linux anyway, so should be smth to see the reason, right?
Updated to CM-4.2.7.1 and added a 4GB Class 6 TF

LUKE, I AM YOUR FATHER, NOT...
Just kidding, just couldn't let a chance like this pass me by, sorry .
2 days ago I changed the 2GB TF (which was a class 1) with a 4GB TF, now a class 6. Wiped the phone and added an ext3 1GB partition.
Yesterday I updated the CYanogen Mod to ver 4.2.7.1. Haven't seen another reset since, but it could be that I haven't used the phone much other than for phone calls since the update. But altogether it seems pretty stable.
I just used the cm-updater and everything was done automatically.
If you don't already have it, download it from the market, check for new roms and download the one I said. Please let us know if it makes any difference for you.

When I plug my phone into the computer it actually shows up as two separate removable discs. The SD card is removable E and the phone is removable F. Hope this helps.

Make sure USB debugging is enabled. For whatever reason, on both android phones I've owned, my computer could only pick up sd cards with it enabled.
Second thought, if you're using a custom kernel, sometimes it can break USB. I remember morfic's kernel broke it back when I used Bionix 2
I had this problem a few days ago after I flashed the Trigger 2.3.4 gb rom coming from Ultimate 2.2 froyo rom..When I'd plug in my usb and try to mount the SD cards the phone would say the cards are mounted (even the icons for apps installed on the sd would go generic as if they were mounted) but the drives wouldn't show up on my pc for some reason. I never had that problem before so it drove me nuts until I finally got it resolved but for me it was multiple problems..Like the guy before me said always make sure usb debugging is turned on and this may or may not apply to you but if turning on usb debugging doesn't fix it get the LG update tool and install the drivers from inside there because they are the most current ones..I thought mine were the most current because I even redownloaded the drivers on LG's support site but those aren't the most current ones. Anyway hope this helps someone avoid the nightmare I went through!

Try a different SD card?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
So the USB mass storage functionality has stopped working. I've owned the same G2x since it came out. I tried in both stock Android (2.3.3) and CM7 build 152. I've tried attaching the phone to two different computers running two different OSs (Win7 x64 at work and OSX Lion at home) and using two different cables. `adb devices` doesn't show any devices attached, either, and I have "USB debugging" enabled. The G2x shows it's charging, so I know the cable's connected and receiving power from the USB bus. I'm gonna call T-Mobile (and/or LG) about it. Has anyone had the same issue? Does anyone know of anything I should try?
Did you install the LG drivers?
Download from LG here:
http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/G2X-Driver/index.jsp
Yup, LG drivers are installed on Win7. No drivers needed for OSX.
Have you altered the mountpoints of your sdcard? I've noticed that in stock roms if I change the mount points of my sdcards then I can't mount them to my computer as mass storage.
Nope. But I guess I could format the SD card and internal memory. Only problem is that I have data I need to keep on it.

Yup. Tried three different cables from three different manufacturers.

Hmm I'm not sure what else to suggest then. Do you have clockworkmod recovery? Try booting into clockworkmod and go to Mounts & storage. Select to mount USB storage there and see if it mounts to your computer that way. If it mounts there then at least its not a hardware issue.

Doesn't work that way, either. I put in a new sd card and formatted the internal sd (emmc). I think I'll be making a trip to the T-Mobile store tomorrow. I'll probably need to put it completely back to stock, heh. I should be okay just to reflash the 2.3.3 update right from the LG tool, I think.
Happens to me from time to time. All I do is turn the USB debugging mode on and off and plug it in until it works.
I tried cycling usb debugging, too. Didn't work.
So I'm making a little bit of progress. I installed adbWireless and plugged in the USB cable. This is what `dmesg | tail` gives me:
Code:
<4>[ 2528.279492] -->> MUIC : Set_MAX14526_Usb_Mode_Detect
<4>[ 2537.679262] Dumb charger detected
I'm backing up my sd card through wireless adb by using `adb pull /sdcard/ sdcard`. I'll hit up t-mobile tomorrow and see what they can do for me. I'm hoping that I can still use the LG tool to flash 2.3.3 so I can be fully back to stock (uninstall clockworkmod). I'll keep you all updated in this thread. Meanwhile, if anyone has any more suggestions, I'd love to try them out.

Do you have an external sdcard in your phone? Just use a file explorer to copy all your data from the internal SD to the external one and then take it out and use a microsd adapter put it in your computer to get your files from it.
To return to stock you can also download the stock nandroid backup posted in the dev section. Its here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196019
Download it to your computer, unzip it and copy the unzipped v21e folder to your external microsd card to the ./clockworkmod/backup directory (using an adapter since USB mass storage doesn't work). Put the sdcard back in your phone and use clockworkmod recovery to restore that nandroid to your phone. It's stock unrooted 2.3.3. Then use the one-click nvflash tool from the dev section to flash stock recovery back to your phone. Now you're back to factory condition.

Thanks for the suggestions. I already have a v21e nandroid backup. I just tried connecting the phone for nvflash, but that doesn't work, either. It doesn't show up in the LG Updater tool, either, when I plug it in. I think it's just plain broke. It'll charge, but won't do anything else.
I stayed up just about all night last night backing up my internal and external sd cards. I zipped the internal, placed the zip file on the external, then used an adapter to copy all the files on the external over. My biggest concern was the $50 in music I just bought that was residing on the internal sd and the keepass file I use for work.
Anyways, T-Mobile opens up in an hour. I'll head over after restoring the v21e nandroid backup I have. Hopefully they won't notice the ClockWorkMod recovery, heh.
Talked with T-Mobile. Apparently, I told them a few months ago that I rooted my phone and put cm7 on it. D'oh! They told me to contact LG, who could probably ship me out a new/refurbished device. If I did that, I'd be without a phone for multiple weeks. LG would see that I have ClockWorkMod recovery installed and could still reject my refurb request. I'd be out the cost of shipping and without my beloved phone for a few weeks.
I think I'll wait to see what Google has up their sleeves for their October 11th event. I might use this as an excuse to devour an Ice Cream Sandwich.
Thanks for all the replies and the help. If anything else comes to mind, let me know. I've loved this phone and would hate to part ways with it.
This happened to me 4 months ago. I tried everything with no luck. You'll have to get a replacement, I couldn't unroot it obviously but I installed a stock ROM and deleted everything custom. Only way they would have known it was rooted was if they powered it off and held down volume and power button. I've had my newphone since then goodluck

Thanks, this worked for me. I have been trying to figure out how to get it working for a few weeks now.
How common of a bug is it for the G2X? I Have not heard of it before.
----------------------------------------------
Probably a rare glich with CM7 stable, pulling out the battery did not make it go away, but toggling the usb did.
Make sure you don't have the usb charge only option check. If you do it will only charge and not connect the mass storage. Should be under settings, sdcard, first option.

After the root procedure I don't seem to have any ability to use USB Mass storage.
Windows reports it as an empty drive, linux will show the device as connecting and assigns it a /dev/sdx device, but when you attempt to mount or fdisk, it reports no medium.
Any one else having similar issues?
I could always try a reset to factory defaults after unrooting, but I really don't see what rooting could have done.
I used the manual method and had to run zerg several times, however beyond that no other files where modified.
I've already reverted /data/local.prop to stock, no help.
Any one have any other insights?
I had to uninstall motohelper to get USB mass storage working.

When you take a picture, does it save to your sdcard? Sounds completely unrelated huh? Well, this phone seems to have an issue with the sdcard randomly becoming read only. I have had that issue multiple times now and usually it's solved by restarting the phone. Well, I seen your issue today and didn't remember if I had tried to use it as mass storage since rooting it so I tried....no luck. Took a pic, it looked like it saved, didn't get any error, but could not find the pic in my gallery. Then I tried to take a screenshot and got the read only error. So I just took my sdcard out and made a copy of it to my pc, put it back in and rebooted my phone, it's all good now, imagine that. Needless to say, i'm backing up all my apps right now before doing anything else. Then gonna backup my contacts too.
motohelper... Sounds like a stock app...
did you just rm the apk?

No.motohelper was a bs program that got installed to my PC when I downloaded and installed the driver pack from Motorola. Until
I uninstalled it I couldn't get USB mass storage to work.phone portal would,but not storage.

No problems now though~
I was able to get my sdcard recognized again but still could not use it as mass storage device, never had a problem with this before root. Did factory reset and all is well.
There is no possible way root caused the issue at all. It stopped working for me once I installed moto drivers, but shows the device with mass storage under it in usb portal mode.

Well then it's one hell of a coincidence! Before root, w/motodrivers, worked fine, after root w/motodrivers, didn't work, after unrooting, w/motordrivers, works again.
Same thing happened with my phone. Actually now returned because of all the issues I kept having hardware wise and wound up going and getting the HTC Vivid. So if any of yall switch I will see you when a Forum is made for this device.

I have until the 24th of this month to decide if I want to keep this phone or not. I unrooted yesterday, will see how it goes this week. I'm not trying to pay big money for a phone right now so we'll see how it plays out.
OK I give up. The problem is intermittent. I'm going to do a log cat next time cause I'm getting about irritated. SOme times it works fine some times not. I've not unrooted or changed anything since the initial problem.
The only thing I can possibly thing is that some of the commands installed by busybox is screwing up the works.
Short of that nothing REALLY changes that could affect the operation of the phone.
What doesn't bare that idea out however is the fact that it EVER works.
**STUMPED**
It does the exact same thing on a completely unmodified phone. Therefore, it's nothing you did to it that's cause the problem.
I have the same thing on mine but it was something with the format of the card.
I flipped it to windows media sync mode then backed up the card and after the backup I unmounted the card and let the atrix format it.
I had the card in a atrix 1 before I put it in the atrix 2 so I do not know if this is the case or not.
This has now been working with out a problem for 4 days now
Same thing happened to my phone, I never rooted it.
Confirmed user error.

Thank you seraphielx! Shortly before finding this thead, I'd noticed that I had a rather large number of files in the LOST.DIR on my SDcard. Which coincided with the seemingly random disappearance of some of the apps I'd moved there. And when I pulled the SDcard to back it up on my PC, there were nearly 600mb worth of files in the LOST.DIR. Most of which were photos, plus (I think) some apps. Thank God I make regular backups!
I believe the problem, at least in my case, has to do with the fact that I could pull the SDcard without first pulling the battery; which I did when I swapped the stock 2gb card for my 32gb card right after I bought the phone. Thus corrupting many files, and probably the file system on the card as well.
After backing up what remained of my storage files, I tried to format the SDcard in the Atrix2, but It wouldn't let me select the option to format, and neither could I unmount the SDcard. So I powered down the phone, pulled the card and formatted it from my PC. Poped it back in the phone, powered up, and was then able to format it with the Atrix2. Since then I've had no issues with accessing usb mass storage, nor with disappearing apps and photos.
Thanx again for the assistance!
For me sometimes it takes a few minutes before I can access sdcard from PC.
Usually it works instantly after phone reboot while not plugged in pc, then it takes ages...

Update: OK, I can't unmount my SDcard, again. Which, of course, means I can't access usb mass storage anymore. The only I've changes made since my last post were to install some apps and change some status bar icons via Rom Toolbox, and I can't believe that has anything with the issue.
If I do a factory reset, will I need to root again?
If you have any apps installed on your SD card you will continue to have problems.
no option for mount as disk drive when connecting usb. only shows usb debugging. adb seeing device just fine. running prime 5 anthrax kernel shizilon v41. maybe reinstall htc sync drivers? any help would be appreciated. thanks

Have you check on Storage Setting ( Settings > Storage > SD card) either the SDCard already mounted (if mounted it will show Unmount SD card if not it will state mount SD card).
If it mounted and you have Custom Recovery try boot to Recovery and try mount and see if it working on Recovery. If not it maybe your cable/micro SD card/computer have problem.
If it not working check the ROM page either they have support this feature or not, or maybe you have to reflash the ROM again.
I think it was the shizilon v41 I flashed and maybe picked something wrong. Because a reinstalled the from and it back working. Kinda strange. I don't know what happened really. But I fixed it. Thanks
No diskdrive
I have the same problem.
I am on Android Revolution 6.6.3. and have been for quiet some time. Never had any problems. Until a few days ago all of a sudden:
1. The pop up option for charge or diskdrive dissappeared when plugging in the cable
2. The icon in the drop down menu has also dissappeared
The strange thing is:
- The phone however IS charging.
- I tried a different cable; same result
- I tried 3 different computers (winx64, winx32 and apple) same result
- I did the total disassemble (remove battery and sd card) and reassemble
- I can acces my SD card in my phone; it is working ok
- Settings are set for automatic connect as diskdrive
- I did not install any app that has to do with performance of SD card or stuff like that
Don't know what to do anymore: anobody got a clue???
For the first time something like that happened to me the other day... What I did was change ports, then I wiggled the USB connections, mine were not connecting as they should, once I did that it finally recognised it, but I think it's in the cable..... So after I reconnected and wiggled port connections it poped up. Tells me I need a new USB.again........this is my second USB I'm a short time. Sometimes they go bad. Perhaps this is your problem too? Fiddle with it and see if connection is the problem. Hope this helps in some way
Good luck
