Okay so i am currently typing this on my new evo 3d, and i am in love! Problem is that im new to the sense interface and when i went to plug into my computer, my comp didnt recognize it (mac mini). I went into settings and clicked the button that said to act like a disk drive when connected to a computer, what did i do wrong?

Just got a new computer the other day and just ran into an issue with my x2. I downloaded and installed the drivers but when I plug in the phone to the usb port, it detects a device but tells me I need to format the drive. I click cancel and in 'my computer' it shows 2 removable storage devices but when I click one it tells me to put in a disk. I am in usb mass storage mode. Running preroot gingerbread on phone, windows 7x64 home premium. I can use my xp computer that I know works but it'd be awesome if anyone can help solve this.

My laptop is running windows 7 64bit and I've had no problems connecting to my DX2 SD Cards running pre rooted gingerbread. I've no idea why you would be having problems. Sorry I can't be any help other than to let you know it can be done
Im totally aware that its possible to use 7, and like the OP says, I've got another pc that I can use. What im wondering is if anyone knows how I can fix it so I can use my awesome new computer instead of walking upstairs to use the senior citizen

that just happened to me today, make sure your phone is awake and unlocked.
It is but thank you for helpful advice

you could always try re-installing the drivers. maybe something went wrong during the install. just a thought though, dont bank on it

Did try that, uninstalled, reinstalled from the rsd download. Also uninstalled and plugged in phone and let it auto install. Same result but thank you for constructive ideas.

For file transfer proposes, ensure the phone is set to usb mass storage mode.
Disregard all other phone settings *unless* you're using adb. Then you'll want charge only setting.
Cheers

I installed my drivers from here with no problems. Make sure u install them as the administrator for a correct installation. shoot i cant post the link cuz imma newbie but its handheld softpedia...jus google it
Ok I solved it, sort of. If I am logged in as owner/administrator I cannot access the mass storage, but on a whim I logged onto my kids account and tried it and it works. This strikes me as extremely odd. The reason I tried this is because I was trying to access shared folder on my xp pc last night from admin account and it wouldn't show, but it showed from my kids account. Anyone know what permissions I need to change? Win 7x64 home premium.
Edit: thanks everyone for advice.

Sounds like malware or corrupted user profile. I would just delete your user and remake it

I highly doubt its either, the computer is 4 days old running trend micros titanium internet security. Is it even possible to delete the owner profile?
Btw thanks for offering up serious advice

So while trying to get HTC up and running I discovered that my flyer is no longer recognized by my computer. I plugged my HTC thunderbolt in and it was immiedetly recognized. The flyer was stock rom, rooted. Anything that I may be missing that could help? Also windows says its unrecognized

1. check if there is correct driver installed
2. check is USB cable is ok
3. use USB port from the back of your PC. front one sometimes it fail (happened to me several times))
4. check if you have "usb debugging" tick in "application - development"
could be one of these above situation....
Uninstalled and reinstalled driver got it to show up intermittently. My phone shows up everytime but the flyer only sometimes. I've tried every port with with multiple cables. I'm gonna see if it got better tonight. I'm trying to upgrade to 3.2 and don't want a brick because of a damaged micro usb port.
Thanks for the reply

have you tried to another computer?
If you have istalled latest adb and HTC driver and Java then i think it's like what happened to me, I couldn't get adb to work and my laptop seems like it didn't recognize my flyer..
nickiberli was kind enough and advised me to use his tool AndroidControl, you can find it in his sig..just navigate to the Android Control folder after you unpack it and start a command window from there and it will hopefully work..

I just bought the Amaze today, and when I went to connect it to my PC to transfer music, videos, etc., nothing happened. I selected the disk drive connection type, and it still does not show up in My Computer. (I also have tried multiple USB ports).
It works on other computers, so I am guessing it is a computer issue, and if so, is there any ways I can fix it?
Any ideas..?
Have you tried to open it manually... Start>Computer and find the 2 that reads HTC Storage and Removable Storage.

I went to my computer and those do not show up. All that is there is the C drive, Local Disk (Q, the DVD drive, and BD Rom drives. No phone.
You have to install the HTC drivers first if you haven't done that yet.
Have you tried installing the drivers...

Weird, I never had to install my drivers. Just recognized it right away....
I also like using wifi to transfer things. Always worked well for me. I use wondershare go mobile. Download the app in the market and the file on the PC. Works great!

And what shows up on the Device Manager?
I have a project due tomorrow. After completing about 90% of the project my computer shuts down. It won't turn back on. I clear the cmos and all appears to be working fine. After using it for a few minutes it fails again. Another cmos clear. On. Fail. I give up. I have spent over 6 hours working on this and do not have the time to buy a new computer to try to.duplicate my work.
I would swap harddrives but the only other computers in the house are macs and I don't have the time money and tools to open them up and swap the harddrives. And if I wanted to do that I would have to reformat them for macs.
I really need help what should I do. I don't have the money for a new computer. Much less a new.CPU.

Do you have an external hard drive enclosure? You could put your hard drive in that and then connect that to one of you macs to access your files.
It's encrypted so my windows.account has to be on and the macs don't have.Microsoft word on them. But thanks for the help. I'm trying the best I can but with no success.

In windows see if you have enough time to get the files to a none encrypted area, like a folder on the root of c or something and then on a Mac burn a Ubuntu live cd, try to the data.

And my 2 external drives are broken. By that I mean the adapter not the drive. I extracted the drives and they work.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
If I turn it on it shuts down automatically and the files are encrypted. I found that they are because I have ubuntu and it could never access them.

If its a desktop we are talking about...why don't you just take the case off and stick a fan into it? It may give you enough time to transfer your work to a thumb drive. Just an idea

Is it the CPU getting too hot? You could apply new thermal paste.
One time a cpu fan inside a laptop failed me. I was able to fire it up and check various settings/copy files by using a shopvac in the blow configuration. I simply taped the tube to the air inlet and ran the blower.
1 pull the high end graphics card out, use a simple VGA card, that will drop your heat and power req.
2 I'd suggest using your backups but I'm guessing you never bothered with doing that.
3 why did you post this here? Your computer is not a smartphone.. There are much better forums for these types of questions...

just curious why you would password encrypt your files on your home pc?
Might look at online storage. I use sugarsync and it autosyncs whatever folders you tell it to. Also keeps the last 5 versions of a document.
I never considered the Radeon he 6670 high end and also I was freaking out. After waiting 2 hours my computer magically started to work again. When I get the new fan I will use arctic silver instead of manufacturers. Also I only had my.phone to use for forums so this was one of my few options and I didn't have the time to read about other forums to make sure I wasn't trolled into.breaking my.computer. and I can't explain why my files are encrypted. Ubuntu can't access them. And the reason it gets so hot is because of Amd's stock cooling.

It's a PC, Windows 7. I dl'd htc sync and googled htc drivers then dl'd that. When i plug in a usb cable then go to my computer it doesnt show anything. HTC sync also says no device found.
My experience with HTC sync is.....it sucks. But you don't see any extra storage in computer section? don't get a prompt on your phone to activate disc storage either?
