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

i believe they still need to use the touchscreen though.. but i might try this if they dont charge me.
ugh.... I know there's a file somewhere in there you could probably dig out with ADB. I know I've read about it in these forums somewhere, but I can't remember where. If it's on /system, I'm not sure you could pull it off without root. Assuming you left debugging on, achieving temp root then extracting it should be possible if Verizon's gizmo can't do it.
i went to verizon and he was able to transfer them with the machine. took a while but he got my texts too. just had to pay 10 bucks.
Hey, so when I try to connect my GS2 to the computer (via USB), it doesn't connect for some reason. After connecting it, it takes about 5 secs and it starts to charge but doesn't connect to the computer. I've tried a couple of different ROMs and also on 2 other computers and its the same result. I need help please. Thanks
First make sure drivers are installed if so then try another cable that could be the problem.

You are missing the drivers. Search via Google for the hardware ID or simply by the model of the phone.

I have had the drivers installed, and I tried my brother's HTC usb cable and it still doesn't work.
My thread is right above yours. There are USB port issues with this phone. Although I feel for you, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. If you have insurance take it back cuz it only gets worse. Flash stock while you still can, if you're not already running it. Trust me.

Same problem here and replacement is on the way, phone randomly thinks its charging, car mode turning on and such buy it is nice to know also that I am not the only one
Hey guys.
So I went to work today and while I was on break, my phone acted up a couple of times. Once, the mobile internet cut itself off and I had to restart my phone to get it to turn back on.
Then when I get off of work, my phone isn't reading my SD card.
I tried unmounting and then mounting it back several times, but no luck getting anything.
So then I hooked it into a card reader on my computer and all the files show up, then suddenly the computer got an error saying that the driver wasn't recognized and then stopped reading it.
What is the problem and how can this be fixed?
I can even open Root Browser app and it shows all the files on my SD card. All pictures, music, videos, etc.
But for some reason when I go to gallery, music, or whatever else... it won't pull up.

I wish I could. My computer will read it but only for a few seconds and then says something about a driver error.
I'm guessing the card may be going bad?

Just tried doing this, and surprisingly, yes. So I got it all copying to the computer now.
It just doesn't make sense to me that it can mount like this and my files still be on the card and not read when I go to pull them up. Especially when I go to Root Browser and I can see all the files.

So I copied all files to my computer, formatted the SD card again, put all files back onto the SD, and still have the same problem.
Note that my phone is reading the SD in Root Browser; however, when I go to my gallery, music, videos, etc.. my phone tells me that there are none and acts as if the SD card is empty. I even go to SD and Storage and it says my card is empty, but it's not.

Just wiped my phone completely and restored my most recent backup and now my phone reads it just fine, so problem fixed.
Undoubtedly my phone got set to some strange setting while it was in my back pocket that I never knew my phone had.
Strange. =\
Thanks for the help guys. I suppose if you see anyone or if you run into this problem in the future, here's how it can be fixed.

I had the same problem, I did the same thing as well. I noticed it happen when I downloaded a free game app from Amazon App store. I had to uninstall it b/c it kept on force closing. Soon after I had this SD problem.

The thing is... I haven't downloaded or changed anything at all with my phone in over 2 weeks. Either it tripped out or something happened to where a setting changed while it was in my back pocket.
Glad I fixed it.
I had a feeling it was probably a setting issue that happened, so I got the idea to restore from a backup to get back original settings and BAM!

Windows 8 will not reconize htc drivers! Unsupported on this operating system it says..

adb says it's out of date and "killing...". But still proceeds forward. Is that normal for Windows 8. I downloaded all the necessary files and they're all up to date, as far as I know.
So instal htc sync? Why isnt that in the instructions for rooting? Im trying to root it still... Fail...
Already have it installed and its not finding the dna..
Ugh.. Is there a dumbed down version of this rooting method?

I rooted on windows 8 with minimal trouble, on an Archos 9 with I think a single core 1ghz cpu, and 1 gig of DDR ram. I also rooted my transformer prime using the same tablet. Albeit using the paid pro version, I would not try it on the free previews.
Good luck with the iPhone 5 if you choose to walk away from the fastest phone since sliced bread. $h!+ is junk! Lol its exactly the same as iPhone4s without the cool new shape only slightly bigger and a tad faster. But same restricted, lame a$$, never changing, way too out of date to be relivant IOS.

If you read .... This is what you need to do install HTC sync only for the drivers .. before you try anything with your DNA delete HTC sync , but font touch the drivers ... This phone isn't that hard if people would learn to read the entire directions before starting .... :banghead: Maybe you needing a dumbed down method is telling you something huh ... Not to be rude but these REAL phones are maybe too complicated . Please don't root your phone, because all your going to do is screw it up and take it back on someone else's dime . Get your ibore 5 ... And hey bud , are you rooting or unlocking the bootloader? Because one has to be done before the other ...

Unlocking the bootloaders you stuck up xda tards.. And i was reading, so don't judge. Just ran into the driver issue it states "when you connect your phone into your computer and you have usb debugging on, the drivers should automatically instal"
Well they didnt, so im having issues with adb recognizing the dna.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
the process on a win8 machine can be taxing, if you let it.
downloading adb setup didn't work for me either.
if you plug your phone in to pc, it will install drivers and sync. (you might need to change usb port if not cooperating)
I also had the adb out of date and killing issue, it didn't prevent me from unlocking bootloader but, it did cause a problem during root process. specifically when trying to load SU. because adb kept killing itself, SU wouldn't get installed.
I solved that issue by removing htc sync, and leaving the drivers installed.
restart adb, use task manager and end adb.exe process. if it continues, look in task manager again for anything like android tools, droid explorer etc;

This phone has its flaws too... Its choppy, some major apps not yet supported, force closing on Facebook, Wish android would get its stuff together too! Tons of addware all over there apps, and 30% or more of the android marketplace is filled with fake or virus apps

Whoa there, calm down. Some people have this issue after running casual. I don't, but Droidstyle's guide has jrloper's video linked and I had remembered seeing it a while back. So check this out, it will guide you through how to remove casual drivers.
