If you are having issues with Windows 7 and have not tried a computer with XP for example then that is what I recommend you do.

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?

[Q] I got a question.

Ok guys I have a boot0: MBR boot:0 done error whenever I boot up my computer ever since I attempted to install windows 8 but cancelled before it was done. Now I'm guessing that I have a corrupted bootloader. Is there anything I can load onto an SD card and boot on the computer to fix the bootloader because my computer can boot from an sd card, I know that because that is what I was about to use to install Windows 8. Any help would be great!!!
PS: I was going to install windows 8 on a separate partition, so I'm hoping that Windows 7 is still in there. Do you think it is? Just another question.

Sounds like it partitioned the drive getting ready to install win8. Go through and reinstall win7 again if you want it back.

Nah man I partitioned HDD in windows 7 before I even went to install windows 8 and when I was in the installation for windows 8 I selected the second partition (the one without windows 7) and it was expanding the windows 8 files and i cancelled it and it undid all the changes (lol apperently right?) and i restarted the system. And then it was doing that.

[Q] please help me recover files off of a broken screen/digit. galaxy s vibrant

Okay well my screen and digitizer are broken. I'm pretty sure I left usb debugging mode always on. I tried downloading kies and plugging it in, but got a connection error saying that the device wasn't in kies mode so it couldn't recognize it.
Also, the internal sd is not visible from my computer, although the computer does play the sound recognizing it being plugged in and trying to download the drivers. Indicating that the sd isn't mounted for access through the computer.
So my problem is, how can I possibly get any internal sd data at this point? I was thinking maybe adb but I'm clueless as to how I would go about doing that. Not to mention, I'm not even sure if adb is the solution I'm looking for...if there is one. Would adb still work even since the computer isn't recognizing it in "my computer"?
My phone is rooted and running some old rom that I don't remember. I had clockwork and voodoo if that even matters.
I know sorry for being a noob. Any help is appreciated
sorry for the double post, but this is a large active forum. 200 views and no answers? I know somebody on here knows the answer to my problem. Tell me if I should post in a different section...
I'm recycling my phone and really want my data that's on the sd and then wipe it after.
Download drivers to Pc. Then see if it can connect. Also I assuming your phone uses Odin. Try putting phone in download mode

You will have to try and get your PC to see your device. If you can't then you are out of luck. This is the big problem with only having internal storage and no SD card.
thanks for the replies. Okay so I have the drivers installed. I installed kies and tried connecting that way but it wouldn't connect saying that the phone wasn't in kies mode (and I have no way of doing that with the broken screen).
I tried setting up adb and droid explorer. Droid explorer said my phone had around 300kb of data on it. The sd card folder was a "link" with a small data size. None of the folders or files were found when clicked on in droid explorer.
Any options at this point?

Got the same problem as you did, just with a samsung galaxy s3, and I have tried all the things listed in this thread, with no luck. Did you find a solution to this?

Try connecting it to a windows pc, and then try a program that finds deleted files! You may find something!!

as windows dont see your tablet's drives as regular drives but as an emulated network device you wont be able to do anything this way.
if the data was on the sd card you can try to mount it directly on a pc with an usb adapter and use an undelete utility from windows
if it was on the internal memory, say farewell to your data and next time dont forget to backup everything before doing some major risky operation.
also, your brother, never give him -anything-.
It's the internal disk. So it is pretty much the end of the line for me? Arghh

since none of the tools can get direct read/write access via your pc - yeah
idk if there is smth. in the playstore thats actually not a scam and can recover deleted stuff on the internal drive.
set up TB to automatically backup to dropbox or google drive - that way your brother can drop it in a fishtank and you still have your data.
cheers

[Q] Problem with MTP

I have a problem with transferring files to my nexus 5 using MTP. I transfered the entire internal storage folder because I wanted to unlock the bootloader, however, now when I try to transfer it back then sometime in the middle it just hangs for a while and then gives an error.

be sure to keep your device wake, sometimes, going into sleep kills the data stream. and mtp is ****, so maybe use airdroid, or something similar to copy the data back, also it will take longer, it is more stable

How can it be so bad? I already tried reinstalling device drivers, changing USB ports (USB 2.0 and USB 3.0), nothing works. I don't want to use over the internet because with this many files it can take days.
