Hey guys,
I'm trying to boot a PC from my Atrix SD card, to be able to access various testing and backup tools. I have these on a USB drive now, but I would love to be able to have them all waiting and ready on my phone. I have made the SD card bootable, and confirmed that it works by booting off of it plugged directly into the computer. However, no matter what I try, The computer will not boot when the Atrix is plugged in as a USB hard drive. Has anyone been able to do this or have any ideas?

I've not tried it, but I think the Atrix is seeing the computer restarting and taking itself out of usb drive mode until it sees a connection on the usb, then goes back in, which is too late for the bios to see it as bootable. Just my theory.

No, the computer recognizes it as 2 bootable devices, both of them named "Motorola MB860". I assumed that one was the internal drive and the other was the microSD. However, no matter which one I pick, it does not boot from it.
Bump. Anyone have any other idea's?

first off, wanted to say I've done a bit of searching, but never really found a workable solution to this problem...
I'm running windows 7 x64
At one point I had no problem finding my phones drives on my system. Everything was working fine. I went to format the SD card for ext4, but the windows program (blanking on name) wouldn't correctly recognize my SD card. I ended up using my ubuntu boot disk. However during all that my system somehow got completely screwed. I can't get the phones drives to appear in windows.
I have all the drivers for my vibrant installed on my laptop, but when i plug the phone in the drives don't appear. In device manager it shows two new disk drives (samsung sgh-t959 card usb device and samsung sgh-t959 usb device) without any problems when it's plugged in.
Odin recognizes the phone in DL mode without a problem, and I've flashed to stock a few times through it, as well as flashing jac's kernel. My desktop recognizes the phone, but I'm rarely home and would like to use my laptop to put mods for clockworkmod on my phone, as it's a lot easier to use than odin.
I've reinstalled more than a few times and it's always the same, drivers show up and work, drives dont.
Does anyone know how to get this working again?
Hello everyone. Forgive me if I missed a thread about this. I checked all of them but they were dead ends. Anyways about a week ago i can put music on HTC aria(mine is the liberty version), now I can't. I run both windows and Linux on one laptop and I tried to see if it would be detected on Linux still didn't work... then i tried on windows still didn't work, no usb sound nothing... The only thing it does is connect to charge. When I plugged my sisters phone it worked and a USB thing popped up. My laptop also has a micro sd slot and on windows sp2 it doesn't detect the micro sd but it detects it on Linux. So confusing.

Did you mount the SD card when you connected it?
Try turning off usb debugging before connecting it. Worked for me.
Connect your device to the laptop then remove all device drivers that related to your phone from your windows system after finish unplug ur phone reboot it ,reboot ur system then try to replug an install the device drivers again.
Hi all.
Problem is I cant get the phone to connect to any computer (It did work before untill recently) It charges fine with the wall charger using the same USB but wont charge or recognize the phone when I plug it into a PC or MAC. So at the moment I cant access the internal mass storage and also write to it.
Tried USB Debugging but that doesn't do anything either. I'm really lost and would appreciate any help. It's still under warranty so I could return it if it turns out to be faulty.
Motorola RAZR XT910 / Droid
sometimes the system does not pick up internal storage for like 30 secs. try waiting. Also try inserting the sdcard into the slot and see wheter you can acess that.
alternatively try Multi Mount SD-Card Lite app in the market. maybe it will help
Today I installed Cyanogenmod for the first time. The install seems to work as my phone is working perfectly. I connected my phone up to my computer to put the GApps file onto it to install them (and also to put on my app backups), but something weird happened. I plugged my phone in and it was charging and my computer recognized that a device was plugged in, but I had no way to access the device. It was in MTP mode with USB debugging turned on. I tried to used ADB but when I used the "adb devices" command it said that no devices were plugged in. I have no way of getting anything onto my phone. I also realize that I messed up really badly by moving my backups off of my phone and onto my computer. What do I do?
EDIT: I managed to install the google apps by doing it directly from the phone, but I still cannot push the backup files from my computer to my phone.
I'm not sure how to solve your PC->Phone connection but you could get a MicroSD USB adapter, copy/move what you need to a MicroSD card, then put the card into the phone.
Any one know how to fix this? or why it won't detect the device on USB 3.0?
USB 2.0 seems to detect and I can copy pictures onto my computer, but I can not copy or cut them from one spot on the SD card to another through the windows OS. i.e. trying to move pictures from the 'camera' folder to a different folder on the phone's SD card.
Thanks!
Aloha.
Troubleshoot;
LG drivers installed
Does the cable support what you're wanting to do(try another USB )
Under developer settings make sure USB debugging is turned off.
These were the first things I checked when I had the same issue and just changed everything ?
Hope this helps.

ive ran into this a lot, its usually the usb cord
thank you both. I wish I could try to fix this right now. My V10 just gave me the boot loop of death. I've tried everything. it's toast. going to be putting in for a new one on Monday. (tear).
I was going to suggest.. Activating "Developer Options" in system settings, go to USB and click choosing MTP or whatever. I noticed most newer ROM versions have this annoying issue, mine never stays after a reboot either...
