I'm new to Android custom roms and just flashed my G2x to Hellfire 2.1. Everything went pretty smoothly as I have relatively strong tech knowledge and followed all the guidelines carefully. The phone is now running a lot faster and everything looks great, with the exception of USB storage. After extensive searches I can't seem to find the solution to the problem.
The phone doesn't have an external SD card and I store everything on the internal SD. Under CM settings I have set the phone to use the internal SD. Latest LG G2x USB driver has been installed on Windows.
Now by default, USB debugging on the phone is ON. When I plug in the USB cable, the "Turn on USB storage" screen doesn't show up on phone and no SD drive is detected windows. When I turn USB debugging off, the "Turn on USB storage" screen comes up, and after clicking "On", Windows correctly detects the drive.
But after the phone reboots (USB debugging is now off since I set it off before reboot), the USB stops working again. This time the "Turn on USB storage" screen does show up on the phone, but after clicking it to turn on, Windows does not detect any drive. Basically nothing happens. However, the strange thing is if I go to turn the USB debugging back on, phone again prompts to turn on USB storage, and this time if I turn it on, Windows detects the drive. Then I turn off the debugging again, and it still works fine (screen comes up and Windows can detect).
So basically it works until the next reboot. No matter how the debugging option is set, the USB simply won't work right away. (If it's set to off, the problem described in the previous paragraph applies. If it's set to on, the phone simply won't show the "Turn on USB Storage" screen as stated initially in the post.
I have gone back and force and tweaked various settings all with the same result. I have also made sure to test this on different computers with fresh installed G2x drivers and they all exhibit the same problem.
Your help will be appreciated.
Assuming you flashed it correctly using nulifier to wipe and than flashed I would reboot to recovery go to advanced and fix permissions... Reboot turn debugging on and check use internal storage. The reboot again and than see if that fixes it for you.. I have 2.1 flashed and when I mount both sd's mount internal and external so it should be working for you if not you might have a corrupted download and would have to redownload and flash again

Do you mean you have both internal and external SD, and when you plugin the USB cable (I assume you have USB debugging on), both cards mount to the OS as two drives? Could you please do me a favor by taking out the external SD, and see if the internal SD would still mount correctly?
And btw are you mounting under Windows or Linux?
Thanks a lot.

I finally got an external SD in. I reflashed, left USB debugging on. When I plugin the USB cable, the phone's "Turn On USB Storage" screen doesn't come up, but I noticed that in the pull down's notification/running it's there, below the "USB debugging turned on" ,so if I click that, the "Turn On USB" screen shows up, and after clicking to turn on, both drives mount on Windows.
Is this how your phone behaves too? If yours actually have the "Turn On USB Storage" screen pop up on front (just like the stock ROM does), what do you think is causing mine to behave in this way?
Thanks again.
I was trying to test a new rom out and when i finished installing it everything just completely fails. When i connect my USB in, mass storage dosent appear so i cant add a rom that i know that works on my phone (and i dont have a backup) . Anyone knows a way to fix it?
Also, when i try to open settings it just crashes same with messages.
Do u have an externel sd card to put a rom on?

go to Settings -> SD Card & Phone Storage -> mass storage only
that should enable you to mount the memory as mass storage.

Sorry for the title but I didnt know how could I describe it more precisely.
Problem is. I rooted gf`s htc explorer and I didnt have sd adapter so I tried to format micro sd via minitool partition wizard while it was inside phone connected via usb to pc.
After that I lost possibility to change usb mode from charging to file transfer since my card doesnt show up on pc/mobile/cwm anymore. EXCEPT "mount usb storage" in cwm. With that I see the card in pc, I can reformat it or transfer files. But I cant use it its not visible at all..only in that cwm mount usb storage.
I was browsing web/xda for like 2 hours and im quite desperate.
Any help how to make it visible again?
Its only unlocked-rooted-stock..was preparing it for link2sd.
thank a lot for a help

You might need to update your drivers. It isn't usb mass storage on Sense 5 though, thru changed it to the MTP format. If you really want to use mass storage you can mount it via the mount menu in TWRP.
