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?

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.

Did you try a different USB cable?
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.

Hi, I installed the Alpha 3 cyanogenmod skyrocket rom and installed Da_g's CM7 kernel. I can't seem to access the USB connected menu to mount the internal storage and SD card to my computer. When I try to access it, it just closes right away. Does anyone else who is using CM7 alpha3 have this problem?
I believe he has updated the kernel....which version are you using?
I believe I also read all the testing has been done with the T-Mobile version not the skyrocket version

Im using Virtuous Quattro RC2. I cannot mount my usb in the Rom or in Recovery. My SD card works fine within the mobile but when i connect the usb cable, it only charges and does not show any notifications to connect.
ADB also does not connect.
I tried an app on XDA somewhere which supposedly fixes the problem but i still cant connect. Please help. Really need to fix this !
ps - Tried full wipe and re installing rom.
I don't know if it will be the same, but I had this problem before with a few other ROMS and ended up with a reply/fix as in this thread;-

Hey everyone....I've posted many times about my infuse USB port not working to sync to my computer....so my question is this...I'm running cm7 loving it...can I put the cm9 zip on my external SD card through a card reader and flash it on my phone? Is it possible and what steps do I need to do? I would love cm9 or other roms for that matter but its not life and death.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA
No, it has to be on the intr sd...not the ext sd...but why can't you copy it from the ext to the inter from with in your phone?
I copy files all the time to/from my ext to inter sd....
But if you need to return to stock...
I would also put zen tool on there also to back your ROM...
Make sure you have all needed on your phone and copied over to your intr sd.....
Since yore USB is not working? Is it a hardware issue?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Yes its apparently a hardware issue and pretty common I guess on these phones.....just stopped connecting to the computer. It charges but I can't sync.

Try a different usb cable, different usb port, make sure the drivers are installed, enable usb debugging?
Did you select mass storage mode?

Hey There,
We had the same issue with many units and solved all by doing the following:
-Flashing the unit back to stock
-Performing a factory data reset after flashing(This is a must)
