Android 2.2 (HTC Froyo) detected by USB as a CD drive - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I tried to update my Sony ericsson xperia x8 which was running Android 2.1 to Android 2.2 (by rooting and all).
I installed HTC Froyo android 2.2 and since then the phone is stuck in airplane mode. I tried all methods to remove it from airplane mode but futile. I am not able to make even any calls from the phone now.
Moreover, when I connect it using USB cable, it is detected as a CD drive and when I try to open it, says please insert a disk to the drive. I am caught up with this problem.
Any help that I can detect my phone and somehow access the sd card? I have the back up of my old phone data and want to somehow install it. Please help!

Just boot into ClockworkMod recovery (or whichever custom recovery you have) and restore the backup.

Repair it using PCCompanion
Adding to that, you may also find it easier to do it on a windows-based pc.
This is caused by did the full wipe and then reboot the phone. At this time, there is no system files in the phone so it won't boot. Need to repair using PC Companion or SEUS or Flash Tool.

Hi,I am this friend who cleverly full wiped with xRecovery.However, my windows7 computer still cant detect my phone,and proves to be a problem.Anyone can help me by giving me a step by step in getting my phone back into flashable mode? or help fix this?
Same kind of problem here with a friend's phone I usualy use a htc desire.
He updated hi X10i (stock, not rooted), since then there's no boot, only exclamation mark for a few secs, and no usb.
I tried "<="+usb/power on -> exclamation mark, no recovery.
It's not detected in any way by my pc (installed sony tools etc...), windows or linux (no kernel message at all), same usb port, same cable, my htc phone works in both.
What can I do ?
Thanks !
You have to connect the phone in flashmode...
Use the link "How to use PC Companion" in my signature
I had the same problem a while ago. Phone not detected by PCC/flashtool, SEUS, no xrecovery... started to panic
Then i read a post here somewhere about wotansever - its free but you gotta sign up.

It detected my phone where all others failed and flashed it back to stock rom.
Try it - it works
Once you get it working again heres a great guide for flashtool (flashing/rooting/BL unlocking)

[Q] Soft reboot when swithched to usb mode(gsb 4.2)

So I want to update it to gsb4.3 but for some reason can't get it to download directly on my phone.
No problem I just downloaded it on my pc but when i connect and switch to usb mode it crashes/reboots. Happens with usb debugging on and off if that matters. And never happened on older versions of gsb or stock rom.
If anyone has an idea I'm willing to try it...this phone has been great but if I can't get usb mode working I will have to ditch the old eris for something else.
Edit: I got 4.3 update from using the stock android browser instead of opera mini. Full wiped then flashed and still getting a reboot when going to usb mode unfortunately..thinking it's my computer since nobody else has reported the same issue. Possibly AVG antivirus which I recently installed. Have to uninstall that and see...

I see that you solved it, but, in the future, you can try starting the phone in AMON_RA recovery, tethering the phone, and choose the USB-MS menu. This should mount the SD card as a drive on your PC. When you are done, unmount from your computer and press trackball on the phone to go back to the recovery menu.

Flashing a new rom will not remove old user data unless you formatted it completely.
Odin will work only in download mode and you need to right click > Run as Admin.
Enter download mode on your phone and connect your device to PC then flash the stock 4.3

Thanks for reply but I am doing same thing but my phone is not recognized by windows. The popup comes each & everytime that USB device has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. So, I could not connect the phone in MTP or PTP mode when the phone is running or even when I put it in download mode and connect to pc. Same error is comming. I have tried the same thing on several PC/Laptop, Tried changing USB Cables god, don't know what to do....:crying:
@rawalmaulin: uninstall KIES & drivers and install the drivers again.

Use mobile Odin until you get it fixed here >> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro << this will allow you to flash stock without using a pc.
