Mass Storage mode and ADB issues. - Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to mount it as a mass storage device instead of using MTP? For god knows why whenever I try moving a file over using MTP it doesn't stick and when I try to check it my computer says "Moto G3 is busy". I've tried letting it sit and do it's thing and I've tried looking for other solutions online.
On a related note, I'm unable to get it identified by ADB, using "adb devices" doesn't show it at all. I had it working just fine when I first got it, could it be because I'm running CM12.1 and not stock?

It's your rom...either reflash or pick a different one.

[Q] Installed USB drivers, but system doesn't see the phone.

The phone is working fine, the port is fine, the cord is fine.
I installed the x64 Captivate USB drivers on my x64 system, and when I hook up the phone it sees the phone, but I can't use it as a "mass storage" device and copy things to it. Any help?

Same happened to me. Try using the x32 drivers.
Worked, I'm on Froyo now, thanks!
Nevermind, I see you got it fixed.
This might be a stupid suggestion but did you Mount the drives? You have to mount the drives before Windows sees them. It will see the phone but not the drives. To mount just pull down the notification area from the top and tap on "USB Connected" then tap "Mount". Not sure if you tried that yet but that's the first thing you need to do after the USB connection is made.

When I plug my phone into the computer it actually shows up as two separate removable discs. The SD card is removable E and the phone is removable F. Hope this helps.

Make sure USB debugging is enabled. For whatever reason, on both android phones I've owned, my computer could only pick up sd cards with it enabled.
Second thought, if you're using a custom kernel, sometimes it can break USB. I remember morfic's kernel broke it back when I used Bionix 2
I had this problem a few days ago after I flashed the Trigger 2.3.4 gb rom coming from Ultimate 2.2 froyo rom..When I'd plug in my usb and try to mount the SD cards the phone would say the cards are mounted (even the icons for apps installed on the sd would go generic as if they were mounted) but the drives wouldn't show up on my pc for some reason. I never had that problem before so it drove me nuts until I finally got it resolved but for me it was multiple problems..Like the guy before me said always make sure usb debugging is turned on and this may or may not apply to you but if turning on usb debugging doesn't fix it get the LG update tool and install the drivers from inside there because they are the most current ones..I thought mine were the most current because I even redownloaded the drivers on LG's support site but those aren't the most current ones. Anyway hope this helps someone avoid the nightmare I went through!

Try a different SD card?

[Q] USB storage not mounting

So I just reformatted my computer and now my G2x will not mount. It mounted before format but now it won't. I searched the forums and read other threads about this but nothing works for me. When I push "turn on USB storage" it loads for a few seconds then says "safe to remove SD card". I do not know what to do. I'm running Domination and was trying to go to EaglesBlood.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I also noticed of all the drivers the only one that won't install is LGE Android USB Modem. Tried installing plenty of times and still nothing. That one driver will not work

Try reinstalling your drivers on your computer: http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/G2X-Driver/index.jsp
These are the drivers you are missing, install the drivers, and you won't get the problem.

Reinstall the drivers and reboot your computer? Some people had that problem until they restarted their computer.

Did you try to enable USB debugging as well?
Could it be a missing driver from your system?
Note: occasionally I have to reinstall my drivers because they just stop working every now and then. But, I don't think this has to do anything with this.

First of all, EB Rocks. I've been using it since Gingerbread and it has changed the way I look at my phone.
Second, what kind of computer are you using.
If you're on Windows, I recommend reinstalling the LG drivers again. You can find more on that here -> support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=168931&topic=1088950&ctx=topic. (Sorry - don't have my boyscout link badge yet.)
You could boot into CWM and try to mount the phone that way to make sure your USB cable and connections are kosher.
Good luck

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] Why is USB mass storage gone?

Hi,
I'm on nk111's newest CM10 build and since a few days my DS does not provide this "activate mass storage" dialogue if I connect it with my PC via USB. Am I missing a setting or how can this happen?

I'm using the same rom and I've meet the problem as well. In my case, it seems related to my operating system, it failed to detect the usb plugged in. It's works well after a reboot.
Hm, tried it on a Windows and a OS X machine, both not working. I also rebooted the 2 PCs and the phone, but the problem still exists.
Flash rom again using this method using EXT4 recovery
