Hello all, I've ported (or rooted?) one of my Nook HD+ tablets to Android 5.1 using the process given by PeteInSequim here. The process went well, and the tablet works great except for one thing. When I connect the Nook to my Acer laptop running Windows 10 Pro, via the usb cable, Windows Explorer does not recognize it, nor does it show up in device manager, and it did prior to the upgrade. If I remove the external microsd card and use the Acer card slot, I can access it. I want to be able to put some games on it for an elderly friend of mine who has trouble using a regular computer / laptop and likes a touch screen. Am I missing something ie. drivers or some other software? Is it possible to side load 5.1 using the laptop versus the wifi on the tablet to decrease the download time? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Roger

Last night I purchased a Nook Color and promptly re-appropriated it for use as a tablet. I loaded up CM7 with the Nightly from 3-13-11 and Gingerbread (2.3.3). Everything is fine except for connecting it to my PC via USB. When I connect it I have to reboot the Nook for the drive to become accessible on my computer.
Android v2.3.3
Kernel v2.6.29-omap1
Mod CM7-03132011-NIGHTLY-encore
USB Debugging - Disabled
I've been searching the net all day today and can't find anything on it. I've tried with both Windows XP SP3 as well as Windows 7 x86, and a coworker used my cable and connected his Nook (which has the same versions, btw) to my PC and it recognized right away.
Any thoughts on what's going on?
Same here. I have the exact same issue. I dont see anyone responding. I on the other hand cannot get the Sd to showup in my computer at all. I walked away from the nook for a few minutes ONE TIME and i saw a usb mounted or something message one time. I as able to access the sd card and even remane it. I unplugged, plugged uab back in.. then nothing.. cant get the drives back now...

Hi All
I purchased my Xoom yesterday. I exchanged it from a Advent Vega.
I had a full 16Gb sd-card which I want to use with the Xoom. It does recognize it. But my problem starts when I want to to update the sd-card. My Xoom won't mount on my Powerbook using OSX 10.4.
Is there anyway to enable USB slave mode. The Xoom comes with one usb cable.
I know there is an app Tranfer Files, but it requires OSX 10.5, which my Powerbook wont be able to sustain. Only a 1.3 Ghz.
If not, I will have to depart with the Xoom.
Omnichron mentions that a small app created by a member of Modaco could work on it, but it does not.

There are quite a few Xoom owners that have macs. The title of your post is not descriptive of the help you are looking for. If you edit it you'll probably get what you need.
Hi, I just got my xoom yesterday and I love it! I have ran into some problems. First i bought a mircoSD card and some programs are having a hard time reading from it. (Maybe they dont support it, dunno)
But when I plug in my mircoUSB in my Xoom and the USB to my Windows 7 i can't see some of the files. It's not even showing up the folders. I know they are there because I can't create them via Windows 7.
Any help would be nice, it was rooted with CM10 on it.
My friend busted the screen on her razr, and we were trying to get her photos off of it with my laptop, but windows explorer wont recognize any of the files on it. anybody know of some third party software that might help? Unfortunately, she wasnt using an sd card, so all the photos are on the phones internal storage. The phone is unrooted and my computer is running windows 7
Try turning usb debugging on.

For me personally MTP always worked better and more stable under Linux than under W7. Try downloading a ubuntu live cd (has to be ubuntu 13.04) and try connect to the phone with the live system. 13.04 supports MTP natively, so it should be as easy as plug & play.
Just a thought: have you installed the motorola sw with the drivers before trying to connect to the phone?

maybe a silly question, but did she have the cloud sync turned on? They might be safe & sound & waiting for you.
Hi There.
I bought this off eBay and received it today.
Firstly I got it up and running with no problems at all. Plugged it in and away I went. Play store works fine. Happy Happy Happy!
Until I tried to install XBMC from their website. I clicked on the android version and 'no SD card' Flashed up. So i searched for the myfiles app and it wasn't there. But there is an explorer app. I opened that and can't access the internal memory at all?? In the eBay listing it says it should have 8GB of internal memory but when I look in the settings it says there is only 0.98GB free??
I've tried to connect the Android stick to my PC but it doesn't even recognise that I have connected it.
Is there something I am doing wrong???
Thank you in advance for any help on unlocking this otherwise great little thing.

MK809III stop reading Ext HDD
I bought my MK809III in May14, it's been working fine until last few days ago.It stopped reading my Toshiba external HDD. I have the MK809III connected to a self-powered USB hub, and connected my Air Mouse and External HDD through the Hub.
I have tried changing a new Seagate external HDD, a new USB Hub and even a different adapter,but it's still not able to read the content in the HDD.
Not sure what else can I do?
My earlier MK808b lasted more than a year,this MK809iii doesn't have problem with other APPs, except that it just can't read HDD.I used both the default file manager and ES file explorer.
Appreciate any help please, TIA!
Hi do you have access to a PC might need to check disk or scandisk on the Toshiba I had to do that from power failure caused drive to refuse to mount not sure about Seagate I'm using a custom ROM on my MK809III some have a 2TB limit I need to connect mine back up and see what it does with external hard drive just been using 32G micro SD and network file shares
