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

Why do some rom creators prefer excluding the extra 5 gigs of space from being used at all in favor of the sd card?
EagleBlood's would be my favorite if not for the installation mount pointing to the sd card. Is there a way to have both? The cm7 flash for this style reverts it, but makes it so I cannot connect via USB.

I had problems connecting to USB too. What I did was re-install LG Drivers and turn on USB debugging on the phone, then connected it and then I was able to connect to my PC again. Then after that, you can turn off USB debugging and connect to your computer normally.
Hi,
I just bought the Desire S and it comes with an 8GB SD card. When I plug my phone into the computer to browse the SD card, the SD card doesn't show up in My Computer. I've tried USB storage ON and OFF, debugging Mode and nothing works.
When I go to Computer Management -> Disk Management, the SD card shows up as "Unallocated". I cannot assign a drive letter to it as well.
I took the SD card out of the phone and plugged it into the computer using a card reader and it showed up in My Computer and was working fine. I put it back into the phone and plugged the phone to the computer and selected SD card storage option on the phone and I can't browse the SD card any more.
I've already formatted the card as FAT32 using Windows 7 before putting it into the phone.
I can browse the SD card just fine using a file explorer on the phone.
What could be the problem? why isn't the SD card showing up when I plug the phone into the computer?
I'm running MIUI 1.9.30 ROM, but the problem was also present with the original HTC ROM as well.
maybe you should try to format it through phone's settings, even better if you try to use a sense rom
Do you have htc usb drivers on your pc? Not sure if this they are required to browse the sdcard whilst in the phone, but they maybe?
The best you can do, you must format your SD card (all partitions) with your recovery (Ext3 or Ext4).
If you have used 4EXTRecovery or CWM, it's easier. (I prefer 4EXTRecovery )
At the end I think it will be ok

I downloaded the "HTC Sync" tool and installed it but it doesn't recognize the phone probably because MIUI is installed on the phone.
Does anyone else have MIUI installed and managed to get it to work? Or is there some USB drivers I need to install?

But Windows doesn't recognize Ext3 or Ext4, so I still won't be able to browse my SD card on the computer.

Indeed, except if you use Droid Explorer on your PC (you can read all partitions from your phone with).
Except your SD partition who's must be in Fat32, all the parttions must be in Ext3 or Ext4.
That's why I'm write that's you can format your Sd card with your recovery.
For exemple, mine is:
System => ext4 => capacity :549 MB => free: 101MB
data => ext4 => capacity :1156 MB => free: 427MB
cache => ext4 => capacity :142 MB => free: 138MB
sd ext => ext4 => capacity :0 MB MB => free: 0 MB
sdcard => fat32 => capacity :29543 MB => free: 15369MB
In my pc, the only partition that I can read is sdcard
I tried Droid Explorer but it is buggy, incomplete, very slow, and overall crap.
I tried RCMix3D 1.5 ROM with Sense 3.5 and Android 2.3.5, and still the SD card doesn't show up on the computer. I have HTC Sync installed, but it crashes when I plug the phone in.
The SD card is formatted as FAT32.
Is there anything else I can do to browse the SD card on my PC? What did you guys do to get your SD card to show up on the PC for the first time?
Thanks for your help.

Some daft questions:
Did the SD function fine ever, eg with stock ROM when you first got the phone?
Have you tried an alternate SD card in the same phone?
Have you tried a different USB lead?
Have you tried on a different PC?
Have you tried another USB cabel?
Swyped from my Desire S
[Solved]
I found out what the problem was. After having a look at My computer -> Properties -> Device Manager, I found that two of the USB Controllers were not working properly and the SD card was detected as an "Unknown Device".
I uninstalled HTC Sync, fast boot drivers, and anything related to Android or HTC from my computer.
I then uninstalled the USB controller drivers by right-clicking on each and selecting Uninstall, and the same for the "Unknown Device". After a restart Windows started scanning for drivers for these devices and they started working perfectly again.
The SD card now shows up in My Computer when I plug the phone in, without the help of any HTC drivers.
I hope that helps others who come across this problem. Thanks to everyone who tried to help me with this problem. I appreciate your help guys.
i had that too.... i formatted it wiht my desire hd and it worked
Great to hear that this is resolved.
Best to edit your opening post #1 (using Advanced edit) and prefix the title of the post with [SOLVED] so as to note it's resolved.
Hello Knowledgeable XDA members,
I have been playing around with a few roms flashing here and there, and went to flash one today and during the process of wiping I formatted my SD card which had the rom on it. I attempted to mount from mount/storage then mount USB storage. It didn't recognize it at first cause I didn't have the drivers(work computer), I installed KIES cause I remember this resolved the issue before. Now the 2 removable disks shows up in my computer, but always says: Please insert a disk into Drive X:. Currently on CWM 2.5.1.3 and I don't have a micro SD usb adapter otherwise I would have just gone that route. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Managed to get this resolved while researching, used ADB to push the rom file and installed it via clockwork

Is the file size larger 4GB ? Either you sdcard is formatted with Fat32 filesystem with a maximum file size of 4GB per file OR the format is not compatible with MTP. Have you tried connecting the micro sd card to your computer via adapter or cardreader?

This time Yes.. But the error came out even on smaller files exceeding approx.100 MB..
It appears every 2 seconds during the copying process..

You'll have to connect it in another way. Either mount as mass storage instead of MTP OR use a card reader for the micro sd card OR convert the video files to a compatible format.

There is no 'Mass Storage mode'.. But converting video files looks like appealing.. Let me try out that..

O stock rom there is no "mass storage" mode. BUT why don't you connect the micro sd card directly to your computer??

Who does that??
I mean first
1. Open your Phone Cover. (Reduce Life of Cover)
2. Eject SD Card (Increased Risk of Damaging Card)
3. Put it in Card Reader
4. Copy Files with USB 2.0 (No benefit of USB 3.0 support)
5. Put it Back into Phone
6. Close Phone Cover.
and The whole process is time consuming and annoying to me..
Moreover, What you expect from a USD 750 Phone??

BUT seems to be caused by MTP.

Its not a fix..its an alternative..
But it's much faster, too. MTP provides lower copying speeds.

Note 3 supports USB 3.0. So MTP is faster than card reader..

Hi. This is my first post so please forgive me. I just installed the new KitKat Custom ROM by Echoed onto my GT-N8020 Galaxy Note 10.1. I have installed many ROMs on many devices with no problems. ROM installed fine as always but now I have a problem. When I connect to my computer via USB I cannot see the external SD card in My Computer. The internal SD is displayed though. I have tried Googling all day with no luck. All I can find is info on the SD permissions problem etc. Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know how to fix this as I am stumped. Any help is very much appreciated. Cheers

first off, it has to be in mtp mode, not camera to even have a chance.
have you tried other cables/ports/cards? try putting the card in only when the tab is already in the pc, or putting the card in a powered off phone and booting up the phone once its connected, or failing that, just use a micro sd card reader.
you can alos try apps like ums for galaxy s3 (from playstore) and see if it works for you.
To enable Mass Storage mode, do the following:
Download Terminal app
Then type this, and press enter after each line:
su
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage
reboot
After rebooting, plug it in, mount usb storage. If required, format it.
Thanks guys. Unfortunately I didn't get to try the terminal command as I didn't know about that one. In the end I got rid of Echoes KitKat ROM for n8020 and installed original Cyanogen ROM and voila......all problems gone. Must be a lot of bugs in the Echoe ROM as external SD Card was not visible on computer or even writable to. And 4g was not working.
Thanks for your help guys. I really appreciate it and will have to remember to try your suggestions if this ever happens again. Cheers
