Hi,I am on Mac OSX Lion and since i upgraded to Jellybean I am not able to mount my one x as the USB mode to mount disc drive has disappeared?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
First off, this should be posted in Q&A not general. This thread will probably be moved.
I haven't really used JB Sense but do you not get the prompt to select Disk Drive or charge only when you plug in your phone via the USB?
In JB they removed the mounting prompt, now your phone should just be recognized automatically, There is no Disk Drive Mode anymore.
hi
sorry for posting in the wrong area, there is no prompt to mount the disc on the phone anymore, before you could click in the phone and change USB from Charging to mount as disc, and its not appearing in Finder in OSX, thanks for your help

debugging allows adb to work.
You need to turn on usb storage on your tablet for your computer to see it.
How do i do that?
I have cyanogenmod installed in it
It should be in the notification area on your tablet every time you plug your computer into your tablet. "USB connected. Select to copy files to/from your computer"
select it and then press the button "Turn on USB storage"
When you are done then press "Turn off USB storage"
Thats what i thought but theres nothing there??????

I installed cm6.2 beta last night and I think it mounts the sdcards differently than any of the other roms. Be aware there are some differences in this rom but the usb mount is universal
So what do i do? I got noting here, is ther something in the setting i have to change?
If you have clockwork recovery installed then boot into clockwork recovery. (if not then install clockwork recovery 0.8)
Plug tab into computer with USB cable
Go into "mounts and storage"
"mount USB storage"
Don't know if it makes a difference but I only use the mini usb port on the tab.
I didn't have cm 6.2 installed long because it still has all the 3g stuff on it but it seemed to me it was seeing my external sdcard (sdcard2) as my internal sdcard (sdcard). You could try putting the update.zip on a micro sdcard and putting that in the tab and then seeing if clockwork sees it to install
Did that and still nothing
Any other ideas?
hi, I just installed Vegan-Tab 5.1 and i tried to connect the USB to my computers (windows vista/xp) neither of them recognizes the removable disk. gtablet shows USB connected, and on my PC it asked for installing Nvidia Harmony driver, i dont have one so the system failed to install it. Then drive E: shows up, but when i click it it shows "please insert a disk into removable disk E:".
When i had the original TNT ROM although it prompted for install Nvidia Harmony but i can still access E:.
Please help.
Well I think you need to turn on USB storage on the tablet
Drag notification bar down and select files to copy to/from computer
Then enable USB storage
I just installed the same rom and am having the same problem. Can't find a way to get my computer to see the usb, it shows up, but asks for disc.
I'm also having the same issue, PC won't "see" the tablet
also USB thumb drives are not recognized anymore
Missing USB Flash
I'm having the same problem running Vegan 5.11 and it can't see a flash drive plugged into it.

Big Ideas
Finally got BigIdeas installed and I don't have usb either. It shows up on the PC but it asks for a disk. When I (try) to enable it on the tab it just sits and the little icon turns like it's tryin but I get nothing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Howie
turn on usb mass storage on you g tablet then wait about 30sec.sometimes it takes that long for my pc to allow access to the drive(im on win7 64bit).

No prompt comes up when PC is connect to device.....
Plug in USB................... nothing happens
Also, I noticed that when a SD Card is inserted, the text under >settings>SD Card & Device storage> READS "unmount in progress" after you mount the SDCARD
Now it's working

Went into CWM and mounted the USB drive, rebooted, and now it works fine?
Also, when I am in ES file explorer and I am navigated to the /sdcard
it reads ""sdcard unmounted or not present"
got it all figured out......
Still not seeing the flash
Does connect through the mini USB to the internal SD storage...
Anyone know id there's any docs for the Vegan system?

I am a noobie, how do you enable this on Vegan tab ? TnT Lite had a prompt.

I'm having the same problem with the unmount in progress. Can you please tell me how you figured it out? I've done everything including nvflash, CWM, to start fresh and I still am making no progress.
Thanks
I had the same problem. Here is what worked for me.
1. Plug in your USB.
2. You should see the USB icon show up on the top left taskbar.
3. Swipe that taskbar downwards.
4. Click on "USB connected"
5. Click on the "Turn on USB Storage" icon on the bottom right of the screen.
6. Click "OK"
Your drive letter should be mapped on your PC, you should be able to drag and drop files. When you are done, just click the "Turn off USB Storage" icon. You can now disconnect your USB cable.
Hope that helps.
Thank you so much. This is simple once you know it, but I was completely stumped. Am still getting used to the UI.
Thanks! Saved me a lot of possible pain.
Thank you very much!!! Iwas in the same fix!

That posting is really helpful (sarcasm). How did you get it figured out?
I'm having the same problem and I'm not getting the USB connected symbol or any other notification from the tablet that the PC is connected.
I'm running CM with the clemsyn kernel 2.6.32.9.
First of all, I apologize if this isn't the right place to post this question. I didn't see a specific forum for the new g-slate.
I just picked up the LG g-slate from t-mobile. It is quite an outstanding little device. I only run Ubuntu Linux on my laptop and desktop. I can't figure out how to get any files transferred to the device. The manual says that you can simply plug in the device and it will mount using mass storage mode. Even though I can see a device being recognized in ubuntu by running lsusb:
:~$ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 1004:61f9 LG Electronics, Inc.
It doesn't mount. I tried it on two different machines, both running Ubuntu 10.10. Does anyone have any ideas what I might need to do to get it to mount?
As far as I can tell, the default behavior of Android is to share the SD card as a USB mass storage device. Since the g-slate doesn't have an SD card, that doesn't work. LG did something hacky with the Windows USB drivers to mount the /sdcard folder from the internal memory, but that doesn't help us with Linux.
Hopefully this will be a pretty easy thing to fix once we start to see ROMs for the g-slate - I'm still holding my breath waiting for a confirmation that we've got an unlockable bootloader.
help with syncing the G-slate with your computer
are u not getting connection and all and you just need the USB drivers? what error are you getting? i found the USB drivers and it connects perfectly now it opens up as an extra hard drive just like if it had a removable sim.
For linux try this. It worked for my ubuntu virtual machine

The G-Slate internal SD is a mess. I saw that T-Mobile forum up above a few days ago, and if it is the one I am thinking about then it had some pretty helpful responses. Not trying to hijack the thread, but someone here probably has an idea: I want to unmount the internal storage from the computer, but not unmount it from the G-Slate. Will adb unmount /sdcard work?

Why? If you don't mind me asking.
And Idk if ADB shell will be able to help you in that area or not, but you can always try it and see what happens
I have been working my way thru several posts tonight but still can not access my thumb drive.
Wifi xoom running tiamat rom. Official Motorola camera connection cable. Sandisk cruzer USB thumb drive formatted to fat32.
I have a folder labeled usbotg on the xoom (not on the sdcard) but nothing shows. Whati step am I missing?
can you show us the outcome of "df" on your xoom?

Did you download the latest version of the USB Mass Storage Watcher app from the market? Also, I have found that when I insert a usb drive, I usually have to reboot to see it in the /usbOTG folder.
qwerp - "df" ? Is that an adb command? if so I assume I need run it after I have inserted the USB?
okantomi - Yes I installed it, but it does not see that I have plugged in a thumb drive.
A little more info - my USB mouse works without a problem - The light on USB/USBs flash and then does become solid.

df is the command you run in the terminal to see devices mounted on your drive.
if you are running the latest tiamat kernel, you do not need the USB watcher.
you see something like
/mnt/usbOTG 1G 1G xxxxxxx
also, can you do a "ls" under /dev/block/ ?

I'm not sure if its a power problem or the unusual way the built-in Sandisk software mounts the drive (it mounts as a "cd drive" in Windows); but Sandisks are problematic.
If you can, please try another thumb drive just to be sure. Preferably, one with no lights (to minimize power requirements) and not a Sandisk or Kingston, which both use proprietary built-in software upon insertion into PC usb ports.
Try downloading an app call USB Mass Storage. Its not in market but I found the thread. Hope it helps.

Try flashing the kernel in that thread through recovery. Make sure you flash the correct images first.
When I run "df" in terminal i get/data/media/extrenal and /mnt/sdcard.
I am going to flash the tiamet kernal seperate from the rom and see if that fixes things.
Might be obvious to everyone else but when I first plugged a drive in I noticed two folders called usbOTG, one in the root and one in /mnt/usbOTG. The one in the root is always empty and the one in /mnt is the one I need to access. Again, not sure if relevant but just thought I'd share

I just looked at my Xoom's file system again, and actually, the relevant usbOTG folder is on the root. It's on the same directory level as the internal sdcard that contains all of your apps. There is also a mnt/ folder that contains the external sdcard as well as another usbOTG folder (among other things), but that one is empty.
I apologize for having given a wrong location for the usbOTG in the past. I was being lazy.
Edit: I don't know, it's possible that your file system may show usbOTG at a different location, but I just checked again, and mine is on the root. Also can completely hot-swap, no reboot needed. (That's for fat32.)
When I first connected my phone on my laptop, it has a CD Drive as well.
I accidentally safely removed it from the Windows system tray (from the icon of connected USB devices).
How can I get the contents of the CD Drive from the Nokia 8 phone or is there a way to mount the CD Drive again when I connect my phone?
Reconnecting the phone doesn't seem to make the CD Drive contents be mounted again.
All it contains are the drivers that windows needs to install for it to be able to connect to your phone. It autoruns when you connect the phone to install the required drivers. It's nothing you need worry about.

If you just did the safely remove drive before I plugging the phone it should have just appeared again when the phone was connected again. Have you mounted the phone for file transfer? When you plug it into your pc when you unlock the phone a question should appear asking if you want to mount it for file transfer. Does the drive appear when you do this?
If it doesn't you may have to go into disk management and re-assign a drive letter to it again.

I was not prompted with that autoplay setting when I tried to replug it. I will try the re-assigning drive letter solution.
