[Q] Internal SD does not connect to computer - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, so I'm having an issue with connecting the internal SD of the Atrix to my computer. I noticed after reflashing a 1.57 sbf and updating to 1.83 that when I connected my Atrix to my computer via USB and selected USB Mass Storage, the SD card I have plugged into my Atrix connects just fine, however the internal SD simply does not connect.
If I go into the SD Card and Phone Storage menu in the settings, I can see that the internal storage simply has not unmounted, and for whatever reason goes back and forth between the proper "total space" and "available space" values (~10 and 9 respectively) and 0.00B for both.
Does anyone know what the deal is? It's getting to be a pain having to transfer everything via dropbox :/

The same thing happens to me what's up with that?

Le bump.
Still have the problem :\
Reboots don't help anything, and I can browse both SDs just fine with astro.

I have this problem too. Any way to fix it?

I am having this problem as well. I don't know specifically when it started, but I need to access it badly because I am running out of space (I need to get me backups offloaded to my computer). Using Alien 4 and Faux 1.9.

[Q] Accessing SD Card

I feel like I'm missing something, and I'm hoping that someone went through this and can make me feel less inept.
Just got my new GTablet. I bust it open, run the update from viewsonic, reboot. Then, I go to install clockworkmod and I can't get my PC to recognize the SD card. When I look at the browser on the tablet, unplugged from USB, I see the "SDCARD" directory, but it is there whether I have the card in or not. I plug it up to the PC with the card in it and the only thing that shows is the 13GB storage on the tablet. Unlike my Android Phone, which shows the phone memory and the SD memory as two separate removable disks, I'm only seeing 1.
I've formatted the SD card on the tablet, which does see that there is a card, but aside from that, I can't get to it... ideas? Am I missing something obvious?
On the PC: the internal memory is seen as SD1, the external SD slot is seen as SD2
After you formatted your Micro SDHD card on your G tAb, did you mount it ?
I've mounted, unmounted while the tablet was plugged up and not plugged up. I threw it in my HTC Incredible to see if there was a problem with the card, but I can browse to it fine through my phone. I formatted it on the PC (FAT32) and tried again. I see The SDCARD and SDCARD2 on the tablet, but it never shows up on the PC. The only thing I see is "Removabled Disk" with 12.7 of 13GB free.
So, I've now tried a new card, with still no go. I mean, I added clockworkmod to the SD card via windows, tried to boot to it through recovery, but it goes to the unpacking splash screen and reboots after 10 seconds. I can go into the file explorer and see the update.zip that I added to the SD card at /sdcard2/... Any help would be appreciated. Help =(

This is normal behavior for the G Tablet. Only the internal memory will mount on your PC.
Thanks for that. I figured it out after reading through a lot of the guides that directed me to install from the internal "SDCARD."
Since reading your post, I've got everything up and running with Cyanogenmod installed and running... Thanks to everyone that threw your two cents.

[Q] Wifi Error / SD Card Huawei m835

I am lost for words on this lol, ok here is the problem.
NOT ROOTED
Huawei m835 Phone
Metro PCS Carrier
Android 2.2 froyo
2gig transcend SD
Now, The issue I am having is my wifi wont work or my sd card wont work. Its one or the other. The phone uses a easy wifi app that will automatically turn on, now I have tried to turn it on manually via wifi settings but It tries to turn on then says error. Now this only happens with the SD card in the phone, if the sd card is not in the phone it works like a gem. The sd card work previously before i reset the phone back to sq one because wifi stopped.
I have tested sd on my pc and it works great, i see the space there.
I have a Evo Shift 4g (rooted) and popped the transcend sd to be partioned via recovery menu. I popped my orginal card in, evo shift working great still.. I pop sd into Huawei and it works.
Phone now works great, I check space on sd card via settings menu and i got my space back. But heres the kicker, I go to my camera and it tells me my sd card isnt there, I go back to the settings and its gone. Now i cant seem to fix it, I tried several formats of the SD card, several factory sets on the Huawei. I tried to do the Evo Shift partion trick thing I did, and nothing.
SD card still works on pc
Can some one please help with this.
Update, I was looking at running applications to close or uninstall and i notice alot of them have 0.00 bytes, even my android system?
Try inserting a new standard sd card !! Or maybe scan for any virus or errors in sd card...it might solve the prob...
Sent from my HTC Wildfire
I did a error scan via pc properties menu. Nothing, found. doesnt work. However i put this sd card into my evo shift, formatted it, partioned it, and it worked fine on the evo shift, but refuses to work right on the Huawei :/
Try a new sd card or take it from a friend to try it once...if still it doesn't work it might be a hardware prob...
Sent from my HTC Wildfire
I have already tried that, it works in a different phone but refuses to work on the huawei, after severl resets, perhaps if I flash a new rom on phone? Is it possible to root phone with no sd card?
Update: ok so I had phone sitting over night last night and it died with sd card in, now I booted it up and realized it prepared my sd card and now its mounted. So it works and so does wifi?...
Can explain why it is now workn

I solved the problem when I didn't use my SD card as an internal storage.
May be that will help you

[HELP] Internal ROM memory dead?

[SOLVED] SEE POST #3
Hello
I've been flashing AOSP lately and my phone recently wont recognize the internal SD card/ROM memory. It says file system unsupported and it wants me to format the external one when that is not really the case. I remove my external SD card and I still cant use the camera, take screenshots, see keyboard predictions or even create folders in the card.
I pull up storage settings and the total internal storage space is 2.12GB (when its supposed to be ~9 gigs). The apps menu displays 0.00B on the "On SD card" tab.
Here's a detailed description of app issues:
*Camera/Gallery- Pulls NO storage alert saying "No external storage available" "Insert an SD card before using the camera".
*Screenshots- "Couldn't capture screenshot". on notifications bar.
*Swiftkey predictions- "Predictions not available. Check SD card."
*Google music- Doesn't pull up the thumbnails of the albums.
I know all this suggests the external SD card is screwed, but I can read/write anything in it.

Thanks for the reply. I'll check it out and let you know.
Edit: I connected the device to my computer and it didn't show up below My computer or pop up any USB storage device, it only made the sound of something connecting. Then I rebooted to recovery (I'm using latest TWRP), mounted internal and still wouldn't show up. I entered devices and printers, right clicked the device and it was showing as H:, hovered to the open storage option, formatted and walla! Why didn't I ever think of connecting it to my computer...

[Q] USB storage is blank or has unsupported file" issue. PLEASE help.

I have recently updated my S2 to the stock rom 4.1.2. However the phone started running out of storage place in the internal USB (where I could not even capture a screen shot, etc.).
So I decided to factory reset it and wipe it via the recovery mode. After the recovery, the phone just keep having a USB icon and saying "USB storage is blank or has unsupported file" and prompted me to format it when I click on it. But it just dismount and try to mount again without solving the issue.
I have searched through couple of forums and couldnt get the fix on this, tried to format it on PC (via connection a cable to the phone) but it does not allow me to do so saying no such right. Tried to flash it again with the rom, still no good. Also tried to wipe it many times still no sign of hope.
I am wondering if anyone here may point me the right direction to any place where I can fix it. Since I cant even take our the internal USB, I am just stuck with the internal 2Gb memory. Thank you so much in advance.
I remember seeing this message when my external sd card got corrupt. So quick question, are you using any external sd card?

Thanks for the reply. I have already removed my external SD card to isolate the issue. I still got the message even I dont have any external SD card inserted. So it shall be the internal memory issue.

[Q][Need Help!] Internal storage dead/not being mounted

So here's the situation. My sister has a Galaxy S2 which is rooted and has CM11 Carbon rom on it. She's been using it for months now without problems. One day she comes to me and says that her songs are gone so I open up the storage to see whats up. Apparently, the storage wasn't showing up in the settings and it only had an option to format internal storage. I checked with a file manager and it also turned out to be just like an empty folder. Tried to connect it to the pc but it also just shows the external SD card and not even recovery works, returns the can't mount message. I figured the storage is not dead but rather not being mounted as the system and app storage, and the phone itself, are working fine, since those should also be taken from internal memory? So my question is, what's going on? How can I recover the files from it?
