USB mass storage issue after flashing GB ROM? - T-Mobile LG G2x

Is anyone having usb mass storage issues? before i flashed this ROM i could access all of my files, now only a few folders show up and like .android_secure android.
do i need new drivers?
EDIT: when I plug the phone in its only mounting the /sdcard folder
before I flashed the ROM my phone connected as 2 external drives, one was just /sdcard, the other I could access all folders and files in the phone

Nope working great for me..

I noticed that it says only the sdcard is mounted in the mass storage screen. Was this the same for froyo? because I could access everything (split in 2 drives) from my computer before

I like the fact that I can access external and device memory through my computer. When u update to gb you can kiss that goodbye. Gb is great but its small things like that that will keep me with froyo

I had the same problem. All I needed to do is just pull out the microSD card while the phone is still running, and put it back in. I havent had an issue with this after that.

I deleted my LG drivers while using CM7 and now it works great. Pulls up both SD cards.

I am having the same issue. I am going to try the suggestion of removing and re inserting the sd card while the phone is on.... hopefully it works, or I will have to go back to froyo...
update: tried it, and while it does remount the sd card so your phone will read it, it's more simple to juist go in to setting and remount it from there. This still doesn't fix being able to read the sd card through mass storage mode.

I don't have that problem, I don't know how many LG drivers I installed until I find out that's my USB port's fault, just plug it in another USB port...

not sure where you got that. i can see my internal and external just fine with all gb roms.

Yes I did, when plugged in, I tap the mount usb storage icon on the phone and both internal and external memory shows up

Only my internal phone SD is mounting. I have the GB leak installed.

so I swapped out the g2x - rooted the new one, installed the gb leaked update and again I am having the same issues with it unmounting the sd card when i plug it to the comp and enable mass storage mode. So now it's the same issue with two different phones. Those who are having the issue , what type of memory card are you using because that if the only constant I have. I am using a patriot 32gb class 10.

[Q] damaged SD card

I recently installed cm7 On my phone and it says that my SD Card is damaged and can't be read, so I formatted it and it still can't be read,does anyone know how to fix this
what i find fixes mine is, going to my computer and right clicking on the sd card and go to property, then scan and fix errors.
I also experience this issue on a regular basis. I think the issue is with formatting, and the way i always fix it is reformatting in windows to FAT32. If i format in Mac it never works, has to be windows. It makes no sense, but thats my experience with the problem.

when i first flashed cm7 i saw that and it scared the crap out of me. I went to settings-storage and re-mounted the sd card and it was dandy.
I formatted my 16gb card in a digital camera and, it worked fine after that.
Read the cm7 first post

I just popped my sd card out and inserted it and everything was fine after that.

I have done this also - try that first. If another device reads the card OK - it does not need reformatting.
That happened to mine too...Need to buy another 8gb one.
I just pop it out and back in and it usually wakes back up but sometimes it takes a reboot

Going to take a guess and say you're on CM? If so I had problems with my 32GB too but on stock roms it works. I had to get a 16GB to use under CM. I'm not sure of the problem but there was my fix

Are you rebooting the phone after putting back the microsd? Sometimes that works.

As matter fact havent tried on Cm, im on MIUI right now. But im giving it one more try with the formatting see what happens if not will go to Eagle Blood see how that goes.
Yeah im since i noticed my sd card wouldnt show up unless would have to reboot. some files have been transfering but like awhile ago i d-loaded the files that needed for the game Modern combat 2 and after finished i rebooted or just quit playing and tried playing again and have to be redowloading the files over and over again since nothing stays on my sd card :/

That sucks, sounds like a bad sdcard. You still got the receipt?
I got my 32gb lexar class 10 with USB SD reader for just under 50 and its been issue free. Never liked Kingston products.

Tried formatting it using the phone itself? Miui is based off cm7 so that could be the issue as well.

Won't let me format it from phone since as soon as I put it in tells me "safely to remove card now" so kinda like automatically ejectects itself when I put it in. N got another problem :/ I bitlocked the sd card in my windows 7 laptop and as I was transferring files my wire was loose and we'll lost the connection and of course gave me files transfer error. But the problem now is that since I bitlocked the sd card won't let me get in it anymore, even though i put my password I put for the sd card. Just says something error with files and blah blah ;/. Can't even format or or anything anymore ;/

Found the solution for this problem with the bit locker > I mounted my sd card on my xp SP3 and formatted it and gave me the ize of 514mb i was like what. But i still did it and when i mounted it on my windows 7 i formatted again and this time showed me the 32gb size . So now its working properly.yeah buddy.

Moving from Weapon X to Miui rom my sdcard was detected fine but then after a couple of days of using Miui I wasn't able to open up sdcard when connected to my pc. It shown that usb is detected on my phone.
It only work when I restore back to WeaponX. I tried flashing different Miui roms, EagleBlood and PhoenixBlood. None detect my sdcard on pc except for WeaponX. I also tried to format my sdcard. Didn't work.
Anyone got any suggestion??
Try reinstalling ure usb drivers or not just restart the computer that would help with me. Or have you tried it with a card adapter?

If you've tried it both with the USB cord and with an sd card reader, it might just be a bad sd card. This happened to me with a Samsung 16gb. I couldnt add or delete anything on it. Simply had to get a new sd card. Try out Lexar or PNY if you want a good one.

Incorrect SD Card Size

I noticed not too long ago that when I connected my nexus s to my computer it would show that there is only a total of 14.3 gb of total space available on the SD card when in fact there should be close to 16. Has anybody else experienced this problem? I've tried formatting the SD card and fresh installing everything but nothing has cleared it up. I've done some searching as well and I couldn't find any useful information
Dude, the SD card is partitioned between internal memory and user storage. It also doesn't help that windows and memory makers measure space differently. You're good dude.

Sweet thanks! and now that I was an idiot I formated the SD Card using Disk Utility Mac OS 10.7 and CWM says "Error mounting /sdcard" when I try to install a zip
I'm still able to mount the USB storage to my computer and copy files over but CWM can't access any of the files on my phone. So basically for right now i have a bricked phone
UPDATE:
I may have solved the problem. I just relocked the bootloader and unlocked it again and when I select choose zip from sdcard in CWM 5.5.0.4 it says "no files found" instead of can't mount sdcard. I'm going to copy files back over to the phone and see if I can flash the rom I was on and get back up and running.
Let us know what happens! Hope you get it fixed.

Yeah it turns out locking the bootloader and then unlocking it again got it all sorted out. Back up and running and everything is working great
Sweet! Glad you got it worked out.

SD Card Partitioning Issue.

I keep getting errors when trying to partition my SD for use with Link2SD. Sometimes the computer won't create the partition, and then when it does, my phone won't mount the SD card in general. I'm getting kind of annoyed, hahah. Help?
Also, my computer's card reader is busted so I have to do it through USB mass storage mode. I'm running Bobzhome's ICS CM9 ROM which I flashed yesterday, and before that I had Harmonia 2.09.

Copy your data to pc.
Format your card and try partitioning through recovery.. simple!
It's been solved. My phone obviously hates CM9, so I went back to CM7 w/harmonia and everything is perfect again.
Sent from my LG-VM670 using xda app-developers app
ROM has nothing to do with your partition problem.
You can still use CM9 without any partition. If you have issues with USB mass storage on CM9.
Install latest USB drivers in pc.. it'il work!!

Has anything changed on your setup? As in maybe you flashed a new ROM or reformatted the card, etc??
If not then I suggest you remove the sdcard and see if you can mount it on a PC using a card reader. If the PC can't read the sdcard either then its probably corrupted and needs to be reformatted or replaced.
If it's a Sandisk card and a Samsung device that might be the issue. You can "google" it and will find that some people are having issues with that combination. I personally don't seem to be affected by this issue. I have Sandisk in both my S3 and Note 10.1 and have yet to encounter any problems.
I would do what the other person posted and if it reads fine in your computer it might be the issue I mentioned.
