Did you try another computer?

That happens to me if I have the phone locked when I plug it in. As soon as I unlock the phone the internal storage pops up. If that isn't what is happening to you then I don't know what the problem is.

i suggest u to try AirDroid instead. It seams wireless without needing usb cord.

[Q] USB to PC not recognized after installed Vegan-Tab 5.1

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'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.

everytime i plug into windows 7 it says hardware ID missing

Please help i cant get my phone to connect to transfer files it says device ID missing please contact hardware manufacturer. I installed the samsung dirvers from samsung but no keis or anything.
I have the same issue on my WinXP machine.
I still get it, but when you plug in the device check the screen and toggle your connection settings on the USB popup.
do you have a SD card or are you just using the internal?
i have internal and external sd.
Yea, make sure you check the phone to make sure it is set as a storage device.

do u have a custom rom? i had this happen with jellywiz custom rls 2, was your developer mode turned on? try connecting it as a storage devide (mtp) instead of as a camera with developer mode on...
this solved the issue for me, i think...
I cannot get Mtp to work with debugging on. Turn it off, and it works fine. Unrecognized device, sd cards greyed out with debugging on. (fyi running synergy)

i can get it to go into camera ptp mode but not mtp. i have tried a couple different roms it all started when i backed up the iemm or whatever it is. and in camera mode i cant see ext sd just internal

[Q] Problem with MTP

I have a problem with transferring files to my nexus 5 using MTP. I transfered the entire internal storage folder because I wanted to unlock the bootloader, however, now when I try to transfer it back then sometime in the middle it just hangs for a while and then gives an error.

be sure to keep your device wake, sometimes, going into sleep kills the data stream. and mtp is ****, so maybe use airdroid, or something similar to copy the data back, also it will take longer, it is more stable

How can it be so bad? I already tried reinstalling device drivers, changing USB ports (USB 2.0 and USB 3.0), nothing works. I don't want to use over the internet because with this many files it can take days.

TWRP issue...no data transfer

Redmi note 7 pro
Everything was perfectly fine until today when I booted into twrp to flash a new rom and forgot to copy the rom.zip.
So from twrp itself I connected the usb cable to my Win10 PC, it detected my phone but in My computer/ Windows Explorer, phone wasn't showing up to copy the data from my pc.
I tried different usb ports but same issue.
I booted into phone os and then tried and then it showed into windows explorer.
Its only that from twrp it isn't showing in explorer where earlier it used to show to copy files.
What could be the reason? How to solve this.
after you get into the TWRP you need to navigate to Mount options and then turn on MTP there.

Once u boot into recover go to Mount options and then turn on MTP there. if this also dont work check ur driver installed in pc or not also try formatting data at worst case.
