Phone charging but not showing USB storage on OSX - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Yesterday after rooting my phone, I accidentally rebooted my phone before unmounting it. Now when I plug it to Mac it only charges. I get no notification on my phone. USB debugging is checked. Also tried different ports on my mac and USB hub. Anyone know what I can do to fix it?

I've never been able to get my One X to reliably show up on my Mac.

Really? It has always worked for me. How do you transfer? Wireless? Drop box?

Both. I use Dropsync mainly, which is pretty simple.

Does adb see it? You could use adb push/pull to move files.

I use drop box. I heard you could access the storage wirelessly on mac though.

You can. You just need a root app that makes your phone show up on your network via samba or something similar.
I just find Dropbox simpler and easier to use. I don't want my phone advertising itself for sharing all the time, so I have to active the app, wait for the phone to show up in Finder, then connect to it with my Mac. Takes less time to just move the files and then run Dropsync.
If I've got big files to move, I just do it via OTG.

Mine works flawlessly on windows and os x...

So I tried on a PC and it doesnt connect to that either. Really think its the phone. Want to use the RUU but once in fastboot it doesnt recognize the USB

[Q] Use the G2x as a wifi usb adapter

I was wondering If it was possible to use the g2x as a wifi adapter. What I would like to do is maybe have a App that allows you to connect to your home wifi and then share it to your PC through USB connection.

If only it was that simple. In a sense yes that's what I'm talking about. But I'm not trying to share my 4g connection. I want to use it to share the internet from my "home wifi router" the wireless adapter in my PC went out and I don't really have the money to spend for a new one this close to x-mas.

I'll sell you a USB one I used to use with my TiVo for $10 (b/g I believe), just PM me.
Turn data off to make sure its not using your 4G connection, then just tether it connected to wifi and it should work. I've done it before numerous times.

That sounds like a decent solution. Haven't thought about that, do you have a recommendation on a good tether App that doesn't need a whole bunch of UN necessary work.

Settings app perhaps? USB tethering is just above wifi tether. I've done this many times.

tahahawa is right it is built in to the android software you dont need anything extra. All you need to do is connect to wifi like normal whatever network you want to use then shut off your data connection if you want to be safe but it is not nessesary. Then connect to the pc via USB and check the tethering box in settings and then you are done. No need for any other apps or anything else.
try out pdanet its a pretty usefull app theres a pc client u need to install and congifure as well but its really easy...probably best app out there for this...also not sure if u r running the miui.us rom or not but it has a built in tethering client
Its built in to our G2x's. Just make sure you have the LG drivers installed on your computer and then check USB tethering in Settings and everything should be golden!

I don't know what the deal is with the stock App but it just doesn't want to work with my computer. Wifi hot spot works fine but the USB tether wont. I have all the drivers for the phone as far as I know. Had to instal a bunch when I rooted the phone.

HTC Sensation & Xbox Live

Hi there,
Unfortunately I dont have access to broadband at home atm...
Or any form of internet that isn't running through my HTC Sensation...
I'm wondering if I can use my HTC Sensation and the 3G connection and tether it via USB to my Xbox 360...
I only want to download some Skyrim patches, not game online or anything.
Has anyone here ever tried this?
cheers,
T-L-H
I think you need to tether your sensation to your PC then bridge the PC to the Xbox.
Not something I've done but I read about a while back.
Hope that helps.

If you have a usb flash drive then use a program called modio. Here is a quick link on what someone is doing with that program. The theory is there you just need to work through it. I know that I have downloaded System updates to my pc and transferred them to the Xbox hdd. Modding and flashing my Xbox disk drive is my second hobby here is a video/2 videos that you should watch. HERE This was just a quick search and the guy is a dumb ass but again the theory is there. I know you said you don't have a pc. but if your work pc's let you install programs then you should be good to go. Here is another video to watch.HERE WHICH IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR which might be better for you.

[SOLVED] Issues when trying to connect to PC

Hello everyone,
So all of a sudden I'm having problems when trying to connect my new One S to my PC. This is really confusing so read carefully.
Typically, when we connect the device to a PC, the LED lights up and the USB icon shows up in the status bar. Here's the thing. When I try to connect my HOS to the PC, the LED blinks asynchronously and the icon on the status bar disappears and reappears. It's like the connection is loose.
My first thought was that there should be a hardware issue.
I tested the cable first for any issues. I tried another cable and the problem persisted. When I tried to connect my other device, an Xperia X8, there was no problem whatsoever. So, definitely, the cable is not producing the problem.
Next, I thought maybe the Micro USB port on my One S was the problem. I took a q-tip and cleaned it, although it already was clean. Tried again connecting it to the PC, no luck. But when I tried connecting it to my Laptop instead, there was no problem at all! And there's also no problem when charging it (from the wall charger).
My next thought was the PC's USB ports where causing the problem. I took a vacuum cleaner p) and dusted off any lint there was. So I tried connecting my HOS again and still no luck. Tried all 4 USB ports and even a USB extension cord.
If needed, my PC is running Ubuntu 12.04, my Laptop Win7 and my HOS is running CM10.
Now I'm really confused and I have no idea what to do next. Any thoughts?

Sorry but I gotta bump this.
I tried connecting it with Virtuous ROM, JB Sense and the issue is still present. I'm pretty sure it's not the ROM's fault.

It's Ubuntu, there are no drivers. On my laptop with Windows, there's no issue and I didn't install any HTC drivers. Just the regular drivers Windows installs when detecting a new device.
Can someone please merge this thread with mine so we get the right answers in one thread please, this would help both of us and also anyone else that may come across our issues?

I should probably note that I'm not using an HTC Micro USB cable. Both cables I tried were Sony (Xperia X8) cables.

I think its the chipset that Linux is having issues with so maybe look into updating that or changing it for another version.
Could you tell me more? I don't understand.

The chipset is pretty much the motherboard which of cause controls USB and other stuff. So you need find out what you on and then see if there is an update.
So I should check if there is a software update for my motherboard. Sorry, I'm not well informed concerning hardware
Will do.

Hello!
Which Version is your ROM at? Everything except the Jelly bean update (4.1) should work out of the box.
From jelly bean on you will need libmtp. You want to use mass storage? As far as i know One S has just recently been added to libmtp things. So if there would be a problem you may contact the bugowner or just wait for a working kio slave with mtp.
Greetings,
R
PS.: I use opensuse so things are for sure different. I will just wait for a kio slave that works.
Maybe my information is not precise enough or not correct but you could give it a go:
Try google for:
[How to] Connect your Android Ice Cream Sandwich ... - OMG! Ubuntu!
Maybe you can work with this.

If it's on marshmallow you need to change the USB mode from charge only to USB file transfers. Otherwise it won't show up.

No computer will see this phone

Phone only will charge when plugged in. None say driver installing. No notification on phone asking charge, file transfer, etc.
Debugging is on...I've changed mtp to PTP, etc.
All it will do is charge. I I stalled Hisense, still nothing.
Any ideas?

Some other forums suggest it is a problem with the motherboard. Maybe it component was fried whilst charging, who knows. Point being, there is no answer to your question it is something you have to live with. I'm already looking for a replacement phone. I love listening to music and what was great before was that I could simply drag my albums from iTunes to android file transfer with such ease. Alas, no more
