[Q] (Q) Getting SD Card to read on Gingerbread Roms\Radios - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way I can get my SD card mounted or read when conected to usb? it doesnt work on the Gingeritis Rom. No complaints to the Rom because I love it but just needed suggestions.

Change your charge mode to charge only? And if it is on that, change to pass through, give it a couple minutes and then change back. It sometimes seems to get stuck in the wrong mode.

sd card won't mount in gigeritis.

My SD card won't mount. The phone says it is mounted, but PC shows nothing. This is the first time this has ever happened.
EDIT: Nevermind booted into recovery and it mounted fine.
Of you're talking about mounting it to the computer when the phone is on, its a bug I believe and as a temporary fix, just go to internet pass through, then turn disk drive back on and it should pop up

I read in his forum that it will be fixed in his next up date. But as akstyle450 said, that work around works great.

[Q] Lost Lockscreen(Cannot Unlock or use phone)

Soo heres my setup:
Rom: Das BAMF 2.0-5
Radio: MR2
So I was using my phone just fine and then decided to restart it after doing abunch of updates to apps etc.
Then all of a sudden once it boots back up there is no lockscreen what so ever, so I cannot unlock my phone in order to use it, I didn't have the pattern/pin/password lockscreen just the basic slide to unlock one.
I can see the notification bar at the top of the screen but I am unable to pull it down due to the phone basically being locked... I also cannot turn off/restart the phone because I cannot get it unlocked..
I tried a battery pull or two and everytime I boot it up the same thing happens..
can you get into recovery? if so it may be a good idea to go to a backup. I have never heard of that issue before:S
you need a car dock to unlock it and change the lockscreen,what happened is the default wallpaper lockscreen vanished, or reinstall the rom over the top again,i have asked many times can never get an answer as to why or how to fix it any other way.

I have the bamf rom on my SD card, but I also have the stupid radio update on there so I cannot get to the recovery until I get home otherwise I could fix it..
But thank you for your help, hopefully that will fix it. How does the car dock work? I had a moto droid previously and that car dock had a magnet in it that would some how put the phone into car dock mode. What does the thunderbolt's do?
basically the same thing,you out it in the dock and it starts the car dock app,when you remove it the phone is unlocked,then go to tje settings customize and change the lock screen,you will see only five and should be six

Well I don't have a car dock, so I ended up flashing the bamf rom back over it and that did not help.. Just ended up doing a factory reset and re-flashing the rom again..
thank you for your help guys

Hence the reason I love the feature of menu to unlock also

I just had the lock screen issue. That sucked. I freaked for a bit, but I was able to save it in recovery. Now to get my phone back to the way I like it... x_x
Best thing is to change the lockscreen,it has happened to me on every th band so far most of the time right after a back up

how do you get menu to unlock
You can try reflashing in recovery,I used my car dock to unlock the phone then change to the weather lock screen

Having this issue too...hopefully someone can figure out what is causing it.
To get around it, I installed a new lockscreen from the android market website, did cache & dalvic wipe, then reboot. Not sure which of those actually fixed the issue, but I'll probably be re-flashing today anyway.
I have experienced the same bug on Liquid roms. I had to wipe/factory reset and reinstall everything.
Someone in the Liquid thread told me it was due to the underclock while idle being too low. Thoughts?
I tried the car dock to unlock and the phone did not unlock. The notification bar showed it was in car mode, but it did not unlock the phone. Any ideas besides reflashing?

[Q] USB Connected ==> no SD Card recognized

I feel like a total noob, so please be kind.
I connected my TB to the home PC today (windows XP), but I cannot access the SD card.
When connected to PC, SD Phone & Storage/Unmount SD card is grey'd out.
When disconnected from PC, SD PHone & Store/Unmount SD card is white (available).
My settings:
USB Connection type: Disk drive
Applications/Development: USB debugging is checked
I know for sure that I've been able to access the SD card when connected before. What in the heck am I doing wrong??
What's you're ROM?
Stock ROM. I'm trying to get rooted and need to transfer files to SD card.

I should also note...when connected to PC I can see the phone via Windows explorer. Just not the SD card. Weird.

You might try reseating the card?
I can read and write to the card no problem on the phone. It's the PC that can't see it. I have some pics and video of my kids on there right now so I want to avoid formatting unless absolutely necessary. I'll try reseating, rebooting phone and pc, and see if that kicks anything loose.

Guessing here, but if you are running a GB Rom with an older kernel, you might need to put the phone into internet passthrough mode, wait about 5 secs, then change it to disk drive. That problem was fixed in later kernels.

Make sure you pick disk drive mode and then wait. It takes sometimes a minute plus for my pc to see the second drive (sd card), first one (verizon) comes up quick.
After much tinkering in the past 12 hours I'm convinced the issue is on the Windows XP side and not my phone. I cannot access my wife's SD card either (she also has a thunderbolt). But I CAN access the SD cards in both phones via Ubuntu. So although I've got it narrowed down to XP, I still haven't figured out how to get XP to see it.

did you just connect and wait for a couple of minutes?
you might also want to check device manager make sure windows didn't have in issue loading. I've seen that happen, second the thoughts on waiting a few minutes to see if it shows. Had that happen a few times on windows machines.
Yeah, I waited about 20 minutes hoping something positive would happen. Nothing. I uninstalled the phones driver from 'My Computer/Manage'. Then rebooted the PC. Then plugged the phone back in. It downloaded a fresh driver. Still no SD card tho. Maybe its tome to reinstall XP and see if that fixes the problem.

Have you updated your drivers on your PC?
I have a computer running XP and I can see my sd card just fine on my TB.
I did have an older drivers and needed to load an newer one for it to work when I getting ready to first root my phone as well.
Try running this tool:

I'm running x64 Windows 7, so I doubt the verison I have will help you. You can get a 32bit version from the link.
It's USBDeview and allows you to see all current connected USB devices as well as all previously used devices. Found it here on another thread, and it was fixing a number of user's issues.

Usb transfer hanging & freezing

Does anyone know how to fix usb transfer from hanging when transfering or deleting a large file via pc. The progress bar will allways stop during transfer. Very annoying and it happens with all kinda of files not just a certain type. I think mtp and usb transfer are both doing it ! Its Been occouring for months on various roms just got to me now. help lol

try a different cable
From what I recall, most CM9/AOSP/AOKP roms have a data transfer issue. Transfer speeds are compromised and such.
You can try adjusting the SD card buffer w/ Rom Toolbox lite, or I use Samsung Kies Air to transfer via wifi, or just take out the darned Micro SD and slot it into my laptop and transfer.
I have tried two oem samsung cables. and its effects both internal and external cards. Atm im Running stock ics maybe it followed me from a asop rom? Anyway to reflash the stock usb properties? Or maybe the phones port is bad...?

if you flashed and wiped properly nothing gets left over... if you wish, just full wipe and reflash the Rom.
Does this happen on all pcs?

Boot loop help I am stuck

PLEASE HE:LP because I LOVE my Atrix!! For the first time, I am stuck. Atrix boots up, screens open, and shortly after it reboots.
The same thing happens even when I start in safe mode.
The last thing I did was move a bunch of apps to the MEDIA AREA. (Is that the /data directory?)
It looks like the phone does not reboot when I remove the sim card.
I am running Droid Explorer on my computer and the computer sees the internal files.
Other than resetting the phone which Id prefer not to do,:good: do I have any options to try and fix this?
I am rooted and running latest OTA 2.3.6.
ANY ASSISTANCE APPRECIATED. !!!!!
THERE IS SOMETHING THAT RUNS THAT MAKES THE PHONE REBOOT AND i DONT KNOW HOW TO FIND WHAT IT IS.
thanks.
Reflash the zip for your favorite rom using Cwm. The files missing will be recreated.

If the phone doesn't reboot with no sim, it could be a bad sim card. Try getting it replaced before you do anything drastic. Its been known to happen and happened to me.
i DUNNO

When I put the phone into airplane mode it still reboots so I dont think its the sim but I will go to AT&T tomorrow and try another sim card and see. When I remove the sim and boot up it does not log into the phone network and a lot of processes do not start up. I recently set up GROOVE IP, and used a new VOIP via google and stayed away from my mobile number but I can try unlinking Groove IP and turn off the google link and see what happens. I wish there were a way to record a log using Android Explorer or the phones built in android utility so I can see at which point it reboots.

Thanks.... the phone does not stay on long enough to install or start anything, but Ill look at them.The phone stays on long enough to remove maybe 1 program every 5 reboots or so, even in safe mode. It boots up faster in safe mode, but it turns off quicker too. Ive uninstalled about 5 programs that were on the media area so far. I am thinking there may be more than 1 program that manipulates the notification LED on startup, so that is my next program(s) to try to uninstall. I did get into my startup manager and stopped all newer user apps.
Try flashing a new kernel, i've been though that and faux kernel solved the problem
I had the same thing happen to me.
First thing I had to do is go to a different PC (one running XP)
Try to reload Rom Racer's Recovery thru Fastboot.
After it has flashed it
install the Rom again.
Make sure you do the wipes that the ROM calls for.
It worked for me!
Good Luck!
