PC won't recognize mounted sd - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Don't know why but all of a sudden my pc doesnt recognize my sd when i connect the phone and mount the card. neither internal nor external pops up. however both kies and pda recognizes the device. ive tried enabling/disabling usb debugging, reboots, etc. when i take my external sd and mount it to my pc via card reader, it picks it up. so theres something going on with my phone thats not letting the pc read it. besides this, everything seems normal. my phone is rooted ke2 w/ stock rom.

[Q] cant mount SD card

I tried to mount the sd card on my computer using the Mount button from the notification screen. The phone went through the mounting process and seem to mount the sd card correctly but nothing show up on my computer. I unplugged the phone and rebooted the phone but still the same thing.
Any ideas on how to fix it??
Do you have the debugging enabled? When I do I can't mount the internal or external on my pc, although it says it is on my phone. But when I turn off debugging it mounts fine.

Internal SD card not reading over USB

Hi guys,
I have had an Atrix since a few months, and everything has been working fine. However, since the last few days when I connect the phone to my computer over USB, the external 16 Gig SD card shows up as a drive, but when I click on the other drive which is supposed to be the internal SD card, it says "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk (D" in Windows.
Phone: Sim-unlocked AT&T Atrix, rooted, Gingerblur 4.5
Computer: Windows 7 (x64) with drivers installed
It has worked many many times in the past, and I haven't made any recent changes to the phone which are related to this in any way.
I have tried:
1. Changing USB connection mode between all 4 options, include USB Mass Storage
2. Restarting the computer
3. Restarting the phone
4. Switching on/off USB Debugging mode
5. Manually unmounting the "Settings" -> "SD card & phone storage settings" -> "Unmount internal phone storage"
6. Reinstalling the drivers - got it from here because the gitbrew link seems down
In fact I am able to view both /sdcard and /sdcard-ext using Root Explorer on the phone, so I don't think the internal memory is corrupt in anyway.
I've searched both xda and atrixforums, but not found a working answer to it.
Any suggestions? This is very frustrating.
Regards,
Varun
My phone has done this on occasion but a phone reboot fixed it.
Tried many reboots, but not working. Are there any filesystem integrity checks I could do via adb?

This may seem a silly question, but you don't mention doing it. Did you mount the internal sdcard after you unmounted it? Did you unmount while connected to your computer or when not connected?
Were you accessing your internal sdcard with any apps, or did you have it open in root explorer for example when you connected it to your computer? This can mess up the umounting procedure when you plug into USB.
Have you tried on another computer?

[Q] memory card problem

Alright, I have a 2gb memory card which had worked fine until I started rooting my phone and doing all that stuff. Now the phone detects the memory card and it's working fine, but the pc detects that there's some storage thing but doesn't really recognize it. It doesn't even show how much space the card has or anything, it's just disk E. Yes, I do mount the memory card when it asks.
Are the drivers for your device installed on your pc?
I think so, yes. But just in case, where can I get a pc suite or something with the drivers?
I've just tried reinstalling amon ra, and the phone pugged to the pc just fine. I think this happened because of the phone reset. Someone had the same probem and says refashing heped him, but how can I reflash if I can't even put the zip file into the memory card?

What device do you have?
Vodafone 845/huawei u8120
Try placing your sd card in the card reader on your pc, then putting the rom on it so you can reflash it.
no micro sd card reader in my pc, only sd and others.And I don't have an adapter
sometimes when i connect the phone the memory card gets dec=tected but only for like half a second and then just doesn't recognize it anymore
Anyone? I press mount in the usb setting and the drive appears but when I click on it it says ''please insert a disk to drive J''. I've found some search results via google on this but nothing worked for me. My phone is vodafone 845

[Q] SD Card dead?

I try to read it and my phone cannot nor can my pc it keeps poping up with the autoplay ever 25 seconds then it goes away after about 10 secs and 25 secs later pops back up, its not annoying at all. I just portioned it swap size 512 ext2 512 the rest fat32 and its a 2gb card? any ideas?
It didn't show up period, so I partitioned it again with 0swap and 0ext then it still didn't work, then I partitioned it 32mb swap and 0 ext and it started working again, there must be some gremlins f'ing with me.
what happens when you try to mount the sdcard on your phone?
and btw, im not sure if your ext partition is compatible with your computer
The pc can't see the ext partition, but it shows the rest of FAT partition so in computer should say something like 1.50 gb, not 2, after you mounted your sd-card did you restart your phone? usually the phone doesn't see the card before a restart. How did you try your sd-card on your pc? Through phone or a sd-card reader?

i am assuming that when you plug in your phone to the computer, it does not detect the sdcard unless you reboot right? how do you plug in your phone to the computer?:
a) do you plug one end into your phone first, and then connect the other end to the computer? or
b) do you plug the cable into your computer first, and then connect the other end to your phone?
when i do a), the phone is not detected unless i either reboot or detach the end connected to the phone and reattach it. however, when i do b, it does get detected.
i use my phone to connect my sdcard to my computer

S2 charges, No Mass-stores, No SD card in recovery

Hi. I have an old i9100 and I am trying to update it. Its running the old 2.3.3. Im trying to odin it to stock 4.1.2. My laptop does not recognize the device. When I plug it into USB, it charges the device, but does not mount USB storage. I tried other USB ports and other cables. I even tried to other computers. Why does it only charge my device but not mount USB storage
secondly. I put the .zip file for 4.1.2. onto an SD card. I put the SD card in and booted into recovery. Recovery mode wont find my sd card. I went to external_sd and its empty. It shows nothing. However when I boot the phone normally and go into the OS and go into my files it shows the sd card perfectly fine and all its files.
Any idea how to solve these 2 problems????
