CM7 Nightly Mass Storage - T-Mobile LG G2x

Coming from a G2 which is still my almost daily phone. The G2x was a gift. The methods of recovery, booting, drivers is very different. I cannot find how to get the internal storage or external storage to actually mount when plugging in to a Windows 7 host system. Before, it would offer the choice of mounting and I would get drives on Windows. This is on CM7 Daily 41. Do people just download updates direct to the phone with the browser?
Thanks!

yeah HTC has the drivers available through automatic update, but not LG
http://s3.amazonaws.com/lgforum.com...Mobile_Android_USB_Driver_v2.2.zip?1303408893 - here are the drivers
additionally, on CM7, internal storage is not seen as an SD but rather as /etc/mmc (use file manager to get see it).

Cannot access SD card on Captivate

I connected my phone to my computer using USB, selected "Mass Storage", 2 new removable drives appeared on my computer. However, neither drives connect to the internal 16G SD card. Both drives told me to insert the media when I double clicked on it. I tried this on a XP and a Win 7 machine with the same result. Am I doing something wrong or do I have a defected phone?
I have the exact same problem on XP and win7... I've tried everything I can think of including several different cables.
Anyone have any ideas what is going on?
Make sure you're choosing "Mount" on the Captivate after connecting the cable.
See here:
http://capfaq.com/w/Connectivity#Connecting_to_a_Windows_based_PC
This device NEEDS drivers, even for the Massive Storage device (At least it didn't work for me, Win7 x64 until I installed the drivers)
Try downloading KIES and try again, the x64 drivers you can fin around here didn't seem to work for me.
What rom are you running?

You only need driver if you're on XP. No drivers needed for Vista or Win7.
But you do have to MOUNT the drives on your phone. There are reasons why a MOUNT is required. But if you're too lazy, you can download an app from market to auto-mount for you.

Incorrect. I have lost track of how many XP machines I've hooked my Captivate to in Mass storage mode and not needed to install any drivers.
Oh my god you guys rock... I never had to mount the device before. I wonder why that changed recently?
Anyway, mounting the device worked.
Thanks!!
When I go to my SD settings, it is already mounted. I've unmounted, then mounted to no avail. I've downloaded and installed teh drivers from Samsung and everything says it is successful. If I try to run in USB debug mode I get the same result except 3 drivers install automatically than the 1 when I am in regular mode. Any ideas?

Make sure you are connected directly to the back of the computer, not thru a hub, or the front of the computer case. I've heard the voltages needed have very tight tolerances. Try a different cable as well

You are doing the wrong thing. SD settings and mount/unmount in there is for the SD card mounting to your phone, not PC.
To connect Mass Storage mode to PC, you need set your USB mode to Mass Storage, and turn off USB debug mode. Once connected to PC, you need to go to notification window and tap on the USB notification to mount your SD cards to PC.
I just found that before I checked your reply. Thanks for the help. I can actual access the storage on the phone now without some weird settings. Now if 2.2 would only come out for the Captivate. Thanks.

[HELP] Uninstalled LG drivers now SD card is not recognized

Well, after getting a blue screen on my PC I then tried what most suggested: DELETE/UNINSTALL any LG driver and re-plug phone to install drivers again.
I went to uninstall programs and got rid of the LG driver there, then plugged my phone up and apparently installed two out of three files successfully. I rebooted my pc and now I plug my phone to it and two things:
1. My computer does not see the sdcard
2. My phone does not see my sd card
When I try to go with phone file manager to SD card it says.... SD card not mounted.
What to do now?
Is it mounted in the Settings > Sd card & Storage menu?
Nope...
I'm running cm7 and in the storage menu there are 3 breaks:
the first one for the SD card, second one for internal and third one to show you how much space is left in the SD card...
Well, in the 1st slot there is not card mounted but in the last one it does show how much space is left/used.... very weird if you ask me!
I will check if the sdcard is not bricked now with a sdcard reader...
well, I think the SDcard is bricked.... I put in the SD reader and connected to my pc and it is not being recognized!
UPDATE: Bought a new sdcard and I still can't mount my card to the pc? WTF!!

Have you reinstalled the LG drivers? Your PC cannot access even the SD card without those drivers.
This is why, once I upgraded past G1, I decided to not root anymore. 2.2 with a strong phone works great. I focus on being a "power user" and not a modder because, quite frankly, it takes way too much effort and the risk of messing up my phone is too great. I just don't understanding stepping out on that ice all the time, when the phone works so well without modding it beyond the user experience.
download from LG site
Hi,
Have you tried downloading and installing the latest drivers from LG website?
I couldn't connect to SD at first until I used the downloaded drivers.
No problems anymore here.
grtz,
Pfeffa-rah
UPDATE: I have went back to eagleblood's rom and now I am able to mount my internal and external sdcards to my pc *HAPPY*
I plan on going back to CM7 and hopefully I am able to mount the cards again without the BSOD!
UPDATE: as stated earlier... I went back to CM7 and now all my f'ng drivers are messed up again...not able to mount/unmount SDcard!!
CM7 should look into this.

[Q] How to Push as mass storage device in PC?

Hello all
I bought a P6200 recently! but when I connect it to PC it doesn't mount as USB drive?
As well in settings menu I couldn't find it to set it to mass storage mode!(like my Xperia neo and other Android phones) even it doesn't have USB part
Would u help me ?
It's ridiculous that can't be done!
yup... it is ridiculous because it really cant be done...
That' s not true. After connecting my Tab Plus to PC, I got new wino opened with 2 drives. One is my MC and second Phone memory so I can copy whatever I want. Try in settings-application-development...
that is in MTP mode...
The reason is because of how the GTab 7+ uses internal/external memory.
It's impossible for Android to unmount the memory because it's constantly in use. This provides a lot of benefits for performance and application space.
However, the trade off is that unmounting the partition would cause android to crash. So you can't unmount it to let a PC mount the partition. The work around for this is Android hosting the partition as an MTP device and doing file changes by proxy for the PC.
Personally, I haven't found a situation where I needed to do something on the file system that MTP prevented me from doing. At least so far...
I too have had no problems so far transfering files using MTP but its very slow. So I've used a card reader to transfer files to the sdcard when I wanted to do a quick transfer of a larger amount of files such as mp3's.
Hard to mount the sd card as a drive for use with synctoy is one example of where mtp is inconvenient at best.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using Tapatalk
Mass Storange mode is no longer available since Android3/4 deives as there is no seperate internal SD card. All Android tabs connect with MTP mode.
I use SyncToy as well to backup the whole of /sdcard. But that's for the P1000, now I can't do the same on the P6200. All the other available options are either too slow or too cumbersome to use on a daily basis.
Sent from my GT-P6200 using XDA App
Has anyone tried the "Multi Mount SD-Card" app on this device? It mounts the SD card as USB mass storage without dismounting from the android system.
I found mine mounted them both only after i inserted a micro sd card into the device.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using xda premium
I have just installed Multi Mount SD-Card v2.12 and found that it is not compatible with the device. It's disappointing.
I would suggest setting up adb and using Android commander (it is a GUI for windows)

[Q] SD card wont show using CWM

Hi
Flashed my Galaxy Note N7000 with STunner 4.2.2 JB rom on NX kernel and the SD card epic saga began.
The rom is awesome in every other aspect but this
A little background:
After flashing the above rom and kernel, the usb transfer speed is too low < 1mb/s (32 gigs class 10 card) so I searched and decided to try multi mount sd. This increased the transfer speed to normal but the phone would reboot midway of transfer. SO multimount sd failed didn't actually fix my problem. Next heard people telling me to transfer files in recovery (CWM):
1. The card mounts in recovery without any error (sdcard and usb storage tried both) but I cannot see it on my pc (Win 7 64 bit)
the card is formatted asd Fat 32 using windows and I have also tried sdformatter for windows (found this suggestion on the forum) but still it doesnt show up on windows ! Is it really that difficult to transfer files onto sdcard via USB ????
Any help on fixing this problem is highly appreciated. My aim is to transfer files via USB onto SD card at normal speed (10-15mbps) and not @ drop dead crawling speed (500kbps to 1mbps). Help people !!!!!!!

Are you finding your device in the device manager? Download the adb package and try to see if your device shows when using the command "adb devices"
It it shows up it is some driver issue.
Unplug the device, uninstall all usb-drivers you can find.
Reboot
and plug in the device again and hope it's working
I have also found out that it's a bit tricky to get working, but with just trial and error you will prevail!

Thanks for he reply mate!
Well here is what I have done and seems to be working finally for USB transfers:
Download and install multi mount SD
Connect USB and mount sd crads using android (Touch to copy files)
Safely remove the mount cards from windows
Unmount USB from android (touch to stop usb storage)
remount sd crads but use multi mount this time
And yes enable the option for the device to stay awake while charging
Thats it getting transfer rates of 20mbps without any problems since then

[How To] Enable Write to External SD Card

This app was written by Jrummy and states that it's for Kit Kat (he should probably update it as it still works). I've used it on every device I've owned since Kit Kat without a single issue. Just run the app and uninstall it when you're done (or don't but it's pointless after you've ran it). It's making a very simple (and reversible) change.
Root is required!

Does anyone know how to use your SD card as Mass Storage when you connect it to your computer?
Currently, to write to the phone from the computer, you have to use MTP. It's too slow though. I want to be able to access my external SD like a flash drive.
I have to eject my SD card from my phone and use a SD card adapter to connect it to my computer anytime I want to make any changes.
If I could mount SD card as Mass Storage while phone is connected to computer via USB, that would make things a lot easier.

When I connect my Mate 7 to the computer, it gives me the option to mount it as a regular flash drive or as MTP.
So, I think it's possible through a software mod.
All,
I just picked up a new Pure, and already have it rooted, and while I have read/write, I can't get the dates to change to the creations date, instead, it has the copy date. Will I need a custom ROM to fix this bug???
(I use a backup program to put "MY" file on the SD, and it tries to use the date to see if there's a change, but can't because it can't change the date. I use to be able to do this with rooted devices.)
Def not working on mm
Any trick for Android 6.0.1? Can't find any working method..

There is no fix for Marshmallow other than using SD card as external storage?
I have my SD Card set up as portable on my 6.0 Pure, and BitTorrent Sync has issues writing to it. It works perfectly fine on my internal device storage, but starts encountering complete screwups on the SD Card. It did work when I had the SD Card formatted as adoptable, internal storage though.

Yep Xposed runs on this ROM, it's a great one. For those here for the original thread, I contacted support and sent them my logs and they were able to solve the problem in the next app update.
I'm getting about 5h SOT with moderate-heavy usage after 24h off the charger and a lot of music (Viper too) playing with the screen off. I have a solid amount of wakelocks disabled too, so that adds to it. Still think I should be able to push out some more.
