I have latest firmware (version: 2.4.19) in my Archos 101 16GB tablet, rooted using churi method.
Previous firmware worked fine with USB sticks and hard drives, but this 2.4.19 just can't notice anything when USB stick or drive is connected.
Tested using root and normal -> nothing happens when stick/drive is plugged in
Tested connecting to my laptop, using micro-usb cable and that worked fine.
Conclusion: My bigger usb-connector is dead or current firmware has some bugs.
Anyone else have similar problems?
I had this problem too!

Did you get usb working again somehow?
I was wondering, that maybe full re-format, wiping everything and setting up whole system from scratch is again only solution to solve this.
You can see if it's a hardware or software problem, Go to the recovery, and somewhere in the recovery menu you have an option to mount usb storage, if it works it's software, if not, hardware

Found option 'Start USB msc' but this option is only for connecting Archos to PC.
Tested before (yesterday) connecting Archos to PC and that works fine.
I have problem with connecting Archos to usb mass memory.
You mean plug an USB key on your Archos?

I mean any USB memory stick or USB mass memory.
Connecting something to bigger USB connector has no effect what so ever to anything, when this was working.. got connected USB-icon to statusline notifications and USB memory appeared to filemanager, but no more.
Reformated, erased, reseted and made complete reinstall to my device, nothing helps and tomorrow my tablet goes back to reseller and they will send it to Archos.
You have the official Archos Android?

I am a complete noob when it comes to Android, having first got my G-Tab yesterday. I'll give some background before I get to my question.
Yesterday, I sideloaded a couple of apps by essentially copyng them over to the root directory on the G Tab. But, like most others, I found the stock OS very slow and unresponsive. So I installed CyanogenMod 7 as per some simplified directions that I found. Everything went fine. That's not the problem.
My problem is that I cannot sideload anymore. When I plug in my G-Tab through the USB, I hear the Windows two thumps, and nothing happens. I look to see if my tablet is showing up in the Winders Explorer, and it just shows a bunch of memory sticks that when I click on them, I can't access. Also, nothing is showing up on the tablet either (no dialog boxes like under the stock OS, nothing). This is a big problem for me since I don't have access to WIFI at the moment.
Does anyone know how I can make my computer and tablet see each other? If you tell me to do something, please tell me where to find it. For example, on another thread, someone advised someone else to turn on USB debugging for something, but I can't find any option for USB debugging in Cyanogenmod 7 under settings. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Additional info:
Computer: Laptop running Windows Vista
Did you try swiping on the notification area and enabling USB transfer on the tablet?
If you don't do this, your computer will see the USB device but not as mass storage.

Here is where this is....
Menu >>Settings >> Applications >> Development. 1st choice, USB Debugging.
Thanks. I did swipe in the notification area, and the only notification there was that USB debugging was activated. But still the G Tablet and computer cannot see each other.
Double check in your device manager (PC) to make sure there are no issues with the drivers.
Thanks. I found it and also found out that it is turned on by default. So I guess that doesn't help.

Does Cyanogenmod 7 require special drivers? The drivers worked fine on the stock build, and nothing changed since then. Everything looks ok.
I plugged my Gtablet (CM7.02 with Pershoots 4/30/11 kernel) in to my computer just now to test. I haven't used it on this computer since installing CM7. I did just work on my boss's Gtablet the other day running both stock TapnTap and VEGAn 5.1.1 and it worked fine on his.
I plugged in the tablet, Windows 7 (32bit) said it was installing drivers, driver install completed successfully.
On my tablet I then swiped up the notification bar and tapped on the selection that said "tap here to mount USB to share files with your computer" (or something like that). The Android mascot screen popped up and I tapped "Turn on USB".
New drive opened up on my computer that was the gtablets /sdcard.
So it works and used the same driver as before.
No special drivers for CM7.
One nice thing about CM7 (or maybe Ginger) is that now when plugging in you get access to both the internal and external SD cards from PC.

My computer Vista (32 bit) at no point said it was installing drivers after I upgraded to Cyanogenmod 7.
When I swipe the notification area (and I assume that the notification area is the area at the top of the tablet's screen), I get a menu that tells me that USB debugging is activated and that's all. No option to mount USB. And no screens popped up to ask to turn on USB. None of this.
And when I plug in the USB, as I mentioned, I get the two tones from Windows, and 3 new removable disk drives appear. But when I click on each, I get am asked to insert a new disk.
That's all the info I have at the moment.
At this point, I'm so sick of it. I think that probably somewhere a switch is not flipped or a box is not checked, but I have no idea where that could be. I'm seriously considering using ClockWork mod to restore the system. But I'm loathed to do this since I spent 2 hrs. downloading Cyanogen Mod last night (I have a slow internet connection).
I would suggest that you turn off "USB debugging". That setting exists to activate adbd on the tablet, and normal users, usually, never need it. Enable "USB debugging" only if you need to use adb.
After disabling USB debugging, reboot the tablet, and then connect the USB cable to the mini-USB slot on the gTablet. As soon as you do that, on CM7, a USB Mass Storage screen with a green Android will pop-up with a message saying "USB connected" and button to "Turn on USB Storage".
Click the button and a warning that "If you turn on USB storage, some application you are using will stop and may be unavailable until you turn off USB storage.", will appear. Select OK. The green Android will now turn orange and the screen will say "USB storage in use".
Use the "Turn off USB storage" when you're ready to wrap up.
Ok. I think I might have solved the problem, but some intervening events makes me not sure. Basically, I restored to factory and then put in a different ROM, VEGan7. However, while doing this, I think I might have found the solution to my original problem.
It turns out that it does seem to be a problem with Windows, or at least with Vista. I had the same problem with VEGan7. But this time, I right-clicked on the "removeable disk" that appeared under "Computer" (where you see all your drives) when I hooked up the G TAB via USB. After I right-clicked, I selected properties and then clicked on the "Hardware" tab. You will see a list of all possible storage devices to associate with that icon. I chose the one containing the string "Tegra2" and I was off to the races. I was then able to perform the actions mentioned above about activating the USB on the G Tab.
I suspect I could have used this technique with Cyanogen 7. The only thing that I question is that I saw 3 removeable disk drives appear and not just one. I hope this helps someone else who might run into the same problem.

Did you by any chance have an external micro SD card on the tablet?
If so, I'm thinking that you saw the 2 SD cards + the APX debug mode device.
flash this zip (in post #3) to mount the internal storage as an SDcard instead of EMMC. If you run that then you should be able to mount the storage when running CM7
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/20913-cyanogen-7-viewsonic-g-tab-usb-connection/
also your other option is to boot into Clockwork recovery then go to mounts/storage and mount usb
you should then be able to transfer files back and forth

Thanks, I'll give it a try. What are the ramifications of mounting the internal storage as an SD card instead of EMMC? Do I lose performance? I mean, there must be a reason that the default is EMMC.
I wouldn't want to boot into Clockwork every time I want to transfer something, apps or even music and videos. That would be a real pain. Actually, I was surprised at how long this tablet takes to boot up after a complete shut down.

From what I have read that's the way that Gingerbread does it. Some programs actually have problems with that configuration, that's why people do this.

Do you think you might post the file here. When I go to that link I'm not allowed to download it. The irony is that that link says it came from here but I've used the search and I can't find it here. Maybe it is just day after Cinco de Mayo problems I'm having?

Connect the USB device before starting the tablet. Then recognizes it without any problems, until it fails again, and just repeat the operation. Sorry for my English.

You must know that I had the same problem with the Alpha3 and I had to do what "garbanzito" suggests in his post (quoted below).
Now I'm on Alpha4 and I have no problem in mounting USB HD or USB Pendrive...!

Exactly what I had to do with the Alpha3 and it worked every time.
I've intalled NEXUS MEDIA IMPORTER (pay app) and detects and shows all the USB stick content. From there, you can play movies, view photos and play music from your USB stick (at the moment of plug in your stick) instead the USB stick is not shown for the rest of the system...
So I've seen too, that unplugging the external SD card, sometimes mounts the USB stick plugged in...hope this could help developers...
And I would to thanks the hard work made for this awesome tablet.
Hello everyone. I've searched around and cannot find anything similar to my problem, so I'm asking here.
I've just installed CyanogenMod 7 (Degu) on my Archos 70 IT (aka Prestigio PMP7070C) tablet, and now I can't connect the tablet to my PC. When I plug in the USB cable, the screen flashes with the USB mounting interface for a brief moment, and then it gets back to home screen. The status bar tells me "USB connected; Select to copy files to/from your computer." But when I tap on it, the same thing happens - the mounting screen appears for a split second, and then it crashes.
Is this supposed to be happening? I haven't found anywhere in the documentation that the USB link is broken. Moreover, it works flawlessly in the stock ROM. If it's not supposed to be happening, how can I fix it? Did I do something wrong?
UPDATE: I've tried formatting the internal storage once more and installing the CM7 again from scratch. What I've noticed now is that, before I install Google Apps, the mounting screen appears when I plug the USB cable in. It doesn't, however, do anything (if I tap "Mount USB storage", it just does nothing for a while, and then returns to home screen). After installing the Google Apps, I can't even get to that screen anymore (the situation is the same as described above). Any leads to that?
Any ideas or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Yes, I have a microSD card on the tablet. However, it doesn't mount either. I cannot mount anything, since the mounting screen just disappears as soon as it opens.
I understand the image and data are on the internal memory, and I accept that I won't be able to access the remainder of those 8 GiB which my Archos has. The microSD card has 16 GiB memory, anyway, which is enough(ish) for my needs. But I cannot access it
Any other leads? Thanks for your engagement
OK, a quick update (and sorry for bumping the thread, I hope it's not too much of a problem).
I've managed to access my microSD card via USB on my Archos Gen8... sort of.
USB mounting works if I connect the tablet to my PC before booting cm7. I.e., If cm7 boots while the USB cable is already connected, I can then mount it and access the microSD card.
I've read through the official Archos Gen7/Gen8 cyanogenmod7 Degu release thread once again, and I've noticed more than one person reporting USB doesn't work, and divx118 also stating that it's not completely polished yet. I am, however not sure if this (i.e. my problem from the starting post) is what they mean. If it is, I'd like to inform people of the "workaround" I've come across (I am, however, not able to post in that thread).
And if it isn't the same problem, then I'd appreciate any ideas or opinions regarding why this is happening apparently to me alone.
Thanks everyone and many thanks to divx118 for his awesome work!

You're welcome, as long as it helps. I hope someone of the "big guys" sees it, if it's important.
So my dna's USB storage is unavailable after I did a factory reset from hboot. I read the FAQ about this and it just says to format the storage as fat32. Sounds simple. However under device manager it only shows up under portable devices as the model number. Nothing under removable storage or similar. Can someone please help me here? Is there a command I can run from terminal emulator on the phone? Or any other way to get the computer to recognize it needs formatting?
Any help here would be greatly appreciated as its making the camera horribly laggy
Again thanks in advance

Your device does NOT have internal USB storage. Connect a USB device via an OTG cable and it will be recognized.

Hi
I have bought a usb connector to connect my flash drives with my phone. Every time i connect the connector i get the message USB connector connected but right after connecting the usb i get SD Card is Damaged. Try Reformatting it.
I used to have Omega rom and it was working fine for a couble of weeks but suddenly the message came up again so i flashed the official 4.3 android for S3. The problem still persists... FYI the phone is rooted and with stock rom and kernel.
Any help?
Thank you
I don´t have the problem with USB flash disk. Format: Fat32
I have tried all kind of format disk but still the message Damaged SD Card shows up..
And did you try another USB OTG or another Flash disk?
Yes i tried 3 usb flash drives and also USB OTG Checker app that gave me positive results about the cable..
I think the problem is with your otg cable. Go to a accessories shop and check it there before you buy it. If it's not with the otg cable then may be it must be with the port
Sent from my GT-N7105 using XDA Free mobile app
I even have two cables and none of them makes the difference
Thanks anw for your responses
Ok i finally figured it out. After a a lot of formatting of my usb drives on windows i tried to format those in my Puppy Linux OS with the same format as before (FAT 32). After that everything worked. Seems like linux can when Windows can't
Thanks for your help hope i helped other facing the same prob.
