[Q] HTC One S [cannot mount sdcard, malfunctioning usb device, no adb] - HTC One S

**My First Post**
I am trying to resurrect my HTC One S. I accidentally wiped it without making a backup and using CMW.
The main issues I am having are as follows:
- E:/cannot mount sdcard
- When plugged into a computer through usb, Windows gives me a "Device Descriptor Request Failed" box and says my device is unrecognisable (code 43).
- I have tried but cannot get the device to show up in adb. (I have installed many different drivers, HTC, google's driver from sdk, etc.)
Is this device as good as garbage now? I can load it into CMW and in bootloader just fine.
If more information is needed please let me know.
Thanks in advance for the help

[Q]Problem with MTP (and help with a workaround)

Hi
Some background. Like many, I bought a TF700T and like a fool installed the OTA update to JB. I then downgraded, rooted in .30, then upgraded again and flashed SU to keep root in JB. I am now, therefore, running the stock OTA JB ROM, rooted. My bootloader is also unlocked.
Initially after this, plugging the TF700 into USb on Windows 7 (x64) worked fine - the device popped up as a Media Device and I could transfer files on and off it with ease. Now, without changing anything on either end, Windows is refusing to play. It tries to install MTP drivers but fails. If I boot the device in either CWM or Fastboot it connects fine (with adb and fastboot, respectively).
I want to get files on and off the *internal* storage (I don't have an external sdcard)
Things i have tried:
- Using a different USB port
- Using one of the USB ports on the back of the machine, instead of the front ones
- Uninstalling the MTP drivers
- Using the ASUS drivers from the website
- Cleaning out all my old unconnected USB devices (show devmgr_unconnected_devices=1 or whatever) and uninstalling all THOSE drivers
- Cleaning out with USBDeview
- Fresh install of the OTA ROM, after a data wipe/factory reset and wiping cache and dalvik
The only things I haven't tried are a new USB cable (damn you ASUS and your proprietary connector), and a clean install of Windows (major ballache).
Any ideas about what I could do to sort this would be greatly appreciated.
Since I only want to be able to move files on and off the device, I tried a workaround. I tried mounting the sdcard (internal) in windows manually through adb but the command I used to use on my old S2 through adb shell (echo dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file) but it errors with No such path or similar. I'm unsure if the mount points are different (I guess they will be, can anyone help with telling me what the mount point for the internal emmc is on the tf700?)
Really hope someone will be able to help me!
Thanks in advance guys
I'm in a similar situation except I'm not rooted or unlocked. I've tried just about all the steps you've mentioned w/ no luck. I've even tried to three different PCs running XP, Vista, and 7 and get the same result. What makes the situation even worse is my brand new 32GB microSD card won't read on my desktop as well.

First check make sure you have your "USB debug" and "Unknow software" checked in settings. Then go here and install the pda software for your windows. Once installed, it will installed all the driver for your tab automatically. You don't need to use the software, you can uninstall it later, but the driver will stay.

I haven't picked up a TF700 yet (out of stock locally), so these are just general suggestions...
From adb, shell into the OS (adb shell) and list the directories to try and determine their structure. If the device is booted, the internal SD should already be mounted.
I would start by looking for the following folders:
/sdcard
/mnt/sdcard
/data/media

I had the same problem getting MTP to work on old XP machine. The following worked for me...see post #12
http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...ormer-manual-usb-drivers-sync-software-2.html
Thanks for the replies, everyone. I installed PDANet and was initially hopeful once the drivers started installing. Sadly, Windows still doesn't see my device.
adb shell-ing into the device --> mounts
This lists /dev/fuse as the internal storage. I can't echo this to /sys/devices/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file because when I do it returns "No such file or directory"
The solution posted as working on XP machines doesn't work either.
This is seriously annoying. I'm tempted to just give in and get myself a 32GB SDHC and card reader and just use that instead - at least that way I can move the files across with Root Explorer or something...

[Q] Phone not recognized by computer

Alright, here goes my first post. I have lingered in these forums for awhile, and have always found what I needed. This is the first time my searching on here, as well as google, has let me down.
To clarify, if I connect to my computer and have USB Mass Storage on, I can see it, move files to it and everything. My problem is, I am using my old phone (P500) to learn and practice ADB (I own a GNEX), and would like to install CWM via ADB, but I need to move files to the root of my sd.. but my phone won't show up if it's in debugging mode!
I have the drivers installed, and used a toolkit to root (worked fine, no errors). Am I missing something here or is there another issue?
Info:
Windows 7 64bit
Telus Mobility (Canada)
Model: LG-P500h
Android 2.3.3 (stock)
stock kernel

Since the device is not getting detected with USB Debugging enabled it's safe to assume a bad driver installation. To verify tho, enable USB Debugging on the device and connect it to your PC. Go to Device Manager. Somewhere towards the top, assuming the drivers were installed will be a device "ADB Interface" with a subitem "Android Platform Sooner Single ADB Interface" or something similiar. If the "ADB Interface" item isn't there then the drivers weren't installed correctly. Uninstall them. Reboot computer. Rerun driver installation program. When it finished, reboot your PC. Power off the device. Connect it to your PC. Power on the device and let all drivers install. You should be good to go from here.
If you'd like a good known set of LGE USB drivers, download Android Flash Recovery, link is in my signature. Hope this helps.
EDIT:
Oh, and Welcome to XDA

i bricked my device

i try to flash a rom and failed in the middle.
i have cwm version 6, while i select "mount USB storage" nothing happen,
while the recovery menu is open i have adb access but if i use "push" command it get stuck.
on the bootloader menu i dont have access to fastboot, i get on windows "usb device not recognized" under universal serial bus controllers in device manager.
any help here?
doesn't belong here!!!!
can the admin move it to where it belongs?
can the admin move it to where it belongs?
Fix your fastboot issue by properly installing the drivers (I suggest PDANet Android drivers, usually work fine) then flash Clockworkmod Recovery 6.0.1.0 or earlier OR TWRP latest version. The later versions of CWM Recovery have issues mounting USB.
Then mount USB, transfer a rom and flash away.
Edit: Oh and can't you restore your nandroid backup?
i think the problem is the cable driver is not installed properly ..
Keep calm, and check your driver or cable
fixed!
strangely the device gave the same error in my laptop and pc in all USB connection instead of 1.
only in my pc in specific USB connection at the back it works! i reflashed old cwm and it's all good now, thanks!

[Resolved] CWM Recovery USB Mass Storage not working

Hello,
I wanted to update the ROM I am using, went through all of the steps and ran into a "set_metadata_resursive: some changes failed (Status 7)" error - this is apparently caused by an old version of the recovery. I am using CWM V6.0.2.5 (very outdated) so this seems correct. I already did a full wipe and currently only have a single rom.zip file which is unflashable because of the error.
I was unable to connect to computer using the USB Mass Storage on any computer (Windows). I used to get the error 28 (Drivers are missing) message in Device Manager. I tried to install Google USB drivers, Windows was however unable to find them when I point it to the directory containing the drivers. I figured out the Hardware ID and modified the Google USB drivers to install.
Now I have my Nexus connected to my laptop, it shows up as an Android Composite USB Interface and nothing happens when I use the 'mount USB storage' option. What should I do next?
I am using the 9023 version of Nexus S with the v6.0.2.5 version of CWM.
Hardware ID from Device Manager: USB\VID_18D1&PID_D001&REV_0231
Try Universal Naked Driver and install a new recovery using fastboot.

[Completed] How do I recover my phone?

Currently, when I boot my phone (an LG Realm LS620), it just gets stuck on a grey screen. So, I try to booted in to recovery mode and receive the following errors:
E:missing bitmap stage_empty (Code -1)
E:missing bitmap stage_fill
I am given 3 options in which to apply updates: update from external sdcard, cache, or from ADB. If update from external sdcard is chosen, I get the error:
E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)
I have a 16 GB micro SD in my phone right now, so I am confused. If update from cache is chosen I am given 3 different empty folders.
So, currently that leaves me with updating from ADB, however, my PC does not recognize my phone and Windows gives me and error with Code 43. I tried installing the LG Realm USB drivers, but did not do anything. Device Manager shows: unknown device connected (configuration descriptor request failed). I am frustrated on what do and am in desperate need of help.
