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.

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.

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?
A few days ago my Rezound lost it's ability to make a data connection. When plugged in it will charge, but the pc will not recognize the presence of a usb device. It used to do this correctly.
I have set the PC Connect to all settings and ticked the "ask every time". There is no USB Icon in the notification bar, and it does not ask about a connection type.
I have set the USB Debugging tick and unset it. I have cleared storage and done a factory reset, twice. I removed everything from the sd card.
I have used 4 different cables that work with other phones, and 4 different PC's Win XP, Vista and 7. They all respond the same.
HTC Sync no longer sees the device, AVD manager does not see it either.
In USB device manager there are no broken or unknown devices listed.
I'm out of ideas.
Android version 4.0.3
Software Number: 3.14.605.12 710rd
PRI Version: 1.16_002.2.10_002
PRL Version 15154
ERI Version: 5
Any ideas out there?
Have you tried uninstalling sync then reinstalling it?

I loaded a USB Host Controller App which reports that "S3C USB Host driver NOT found!" and "Root hub is not present. USB Host not active or not available!"
Has something been corrupted in the kernal? Is there a way to replace it via the SD Card instead of USB connection?
Welcome to XDA! Moved to Q&A since it is a question!
Are you rooted, try flashing a new kernel. Or flash a nandroid if you have one. Otherwise try a factory reset. If new software doesn't fix it then I would say its your USB port. Pins two and 3 work data pins 1 and 4 are battery + and - so if 2 or 3 are messed u it could still charge. But more likely its software.

You can still try a factory reset if your not rooted

Giving up. Verizon will replace on Warranty
I spoke with a very helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient, Customer Service person at Verizon. After explaining the problem and my attempted solutions, she agreed it was a candidate for Warranty replacement. I'll have the new Rezound in a few days.

I'm glad to hear that you're getting a new phone sent to you. While you wait, if you haven't done so already and you still have the phone you were using when you generated your thread, reboot your computer so it reloads your drivers and try again? I've inadvertently disabled my USB drivers during the eject process more than once and the USB port I was using just stopped working. After I rebooted, everything worked fine again. It's worth a shot?
:fingers-crossed:
not so easy
If only it had been that easy! I appreciate the suggestion, I've been caught by the simplest of gaffs before! (I have found that plugging in the network cable is really important if you want network access!) Unfortunately not this time.
Never figured it out...
I never did identify the issue. I'm pretty sure it was software related but I could never prove it. I finally called Verizon and got a w warranty replacement. They were real good about it too, and fast. Had my Rectified unit in 2 days. It bugs me to not know the root cause but I had to move on.... Good luck!
When you plug the phone into a computer it connects as an installer so you can install the driver and Verizon stuff. Where can I find those files to delete them? I'd like for my phone to automatically connect as MTP for file transfer without having to pull down the notification on the phone can change it.
+1 for this. Is really irritating

I disabled all verizon apps minus the mobile hotspot and now it automatically connects the storage to my computer. I never saw anything about verizon when plugging it in, but I disabled it all first.
I've got everything disabled too and still does it so idk

Try enabling developer options and then tick on usb debugging .

I just noticed that at first a drive that says "verizon mobile" shows up in my computer, then it goes away on its own and the media drive comes up after. Takes maybe 15 seconds or so before the media drive appears. I'll look into disabling the verizon mobile part, but at least it doesn't pop up with anything on the desktop (for me at least) and goes automatically goes away for some reason.
It does go to mtp if you wait long enough. I guess I was never that patient. It would still be much better if it would just go straight to it.
Same problem on osx here, and thing is there's not even an installer for osx. All it has in there are dll and exe. Can find any solution to permanently disable it yet. Tried disable all vz stuff and didn't work for me here.
I just had this problem a half hour ago I wanted to transfer music it ended up being the off brand usb cable I was using s soon as I connected the oem one and check the mtp box it connected and I can transfer files

I'd like the option for the phone to default to charge-only, so that damn windows popup doesn't come up anymore. I get the CD drive verizon mobile first. Then when I close that, it comes up with the SCH-I605, and I have to close that too.
My car deck can read music from thumb drives and would charge my last phone and play music from it at the same time. Deck doesn't get anything from note and note says connected as installer.
I'm rooted, usb debugging on, most Verizon bloat gone.

I want to stop the annoying popups.
Thanks.
Run a custom kernel.
Problem solved
You could also turn off auto run in windows. It is a lot safer anyway (For those of us that plug in something where we don't know where it's been.)

It doesn't address the issue. It just hides the iso popup. It will still go to connected as an installer for 15-20 seconds, before your storage is available.

so i guess after 20 months of this thread being dead. no one came up with answer to this problem?????? cuz i'd like to just go straight to the mtp connection.
specially with the project i'm doing right now. where there's going to be a lot of plugging/unplugging

Flash aosp rom. Always in mtp mode.
I know this is old thread but if rooted you can rename system/etc/autorun.iso to system/etc/autorun.bak to keep the Verizon stuff from popping up when plugging in to computer. Still haven't found a way to skip installer mode though.
it's another one of verizons stupid things.
i have a sprint note 2 also, it goes straight to MTP. No sprint installer at all.
I am trying to backup my wife's unrooted rezound's sd card, before rooting her phone, but when i connect her phone to the pc i cannot see usb storage but if I go into adb it will recognize the phone. I have reinstalled drivers, toggled usb debugging, etc. All to no avail.
My rooted rezound shows up without incident.
Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Okay, the obvious question is is the phone in Disk Drive mode. Since you have another Rezound that connects fine I assume you have checked this but doesn't hurt to ask. Yours might be in Disk Drive by default where as hers may be in Charge Only by default.

Thanks, yeah, it's in disk mode. I've even toggled between disk and charge as well as the usb debugging on off, and rebooted the phone and pc, and tried different usb ports.... I'm stumpped.

I forgot to mention, her phone does show up in htc sync, if i let that run. It just does not show as a usb storage device. When sync is off.
