That depends how broken your phone is. You may be able to use ADB to copy everything off the card, or you may be able to go into CWM if you have it installed and mount the USB storage.

Cant it be read if u put it in card reader? or probably u can try to use "phone explorer software" and access it using your pc. i dont know if it will work that way.

[Q] need help!

hey, i been searching around but still dont know how to solve this, im running on GTX rom and i cant access sd card through file explorer, its always in the My device folder, help would be apprieciated!
Maybe it's not recognised by the smartphone for some reason....You can try to turn off HTC and remove SD card, then turn on and again turn off and insert SD.
Another try is to try to read SD directly with a PC to understand if is broken or need a format.

After 2.1 Phone Reboots on USB Mount

I updated my x10 mini to 2.1 yesterday and now everytime i connect phone to PC
and click on Mount USB phone just restarts. Does anyone have the same issue?
although this is not a x10 mini thread, i experience the same problem (with my mini) after upgrade to 2.1. i wonder if it is not because you sync with "my phone explorer"... do you?
Android Commander
Use android commander to transfer files does not require putting into USB mount mode.
Or MyPhoneExplorer.
It used to do that back on the RF...014 firmware.
They seemed to like it so much, that they implemented it again!! lol!

mine does it too. but it happens when i plug the usb cabel to the device so the software above won´t work..any solution?
When you connect phone to PC choose to "charge" after that choose "mount" no restarts
but it restarts just after i plug the cable into the device, i have no time to select one of these options
Have you tried connecting the phone with another computer, usb port or usb cable? If that doesn't work...
Have you tried connecting the cable without the sd card inside?
Try that, if it doesn't restart you know it's the sd card that's causing the problem. If you have an sd card reader (some laptops have them) put it in and copy your important files and format the sd card to fat32. You can also use the phone to format the card, but you will lose everything on the card.
Hope that helps.
thanks for your reply
but i had to flash my phone again and now i´m not having this problem anymore so far
Same thing happens to me too. Yesterday updated my X10 Mini Pro to 2.1, now the phone restarts, when mounted. I have tried on 2 computers (PC and laptop). Just now tried the suggestion to choose "Charge" and later "Mount" from status bar, seems to work
Actually, just now i remembered that this started happening not right after the update, but after i enabled Text-to-Speech or Speech-tp-Text or whatever it was. Will be trying to switch that off later.
for me the upgrade to 2.1 solved the problem...try to re-flash

I use exactly the same workaround on my X10 mini pro. This bug started after the android 2.1 upgrade. I never had it before...
It happens only when I mount the SD on Win7 and not on Ubuntu Linux: Could it be a driver issue?
EDIT: btw the issue disappeared after i uninstalled the live wallpaper

Thanks my problem is solved......CHEERS
Hi, i had same problem with reboot after mount USB so i tried to find solution. And in my case the soution was simple.
I have had set sound notification to SD card witch was save on S card..... Go to: Preferences>display and sound> SD card notification> "set OFF"
That solved my problem
PS: Sorry for my english

My wt19i restarts some times when I mount pen drive. The mount buttun pressed and then screen turns black, then restarts. Please help me.
Try to move those apps which you use more frequently to PHONE STORAGE or kill their procces before you mount your USB...this helped me

[Q] SD Encryption

Hi all
I have a question/problem about my files on SD Card.
When I connect my sony ericsson xperia neo with the pc even if it is locked with a pattern I can still access all the files on SD card from USB.
I haven't found a way to encrypt the whole or part of the SD.
In my previous phone (windows mobile 6.1) there was an option where you could encrypt files in sd so that when i connected it through usb to pc, the pc asked me for password first and then read the files.Also i couldn't read the sd with a card reader cause it was encrypted.
Is there an option to encrypt the whole sd or at least part of it?
If so,how?Do i need to use an extra program from android market?Is there an option to do that from the operating system?
I will search for a way to do so...that is really necessary...I have used symbian and maemo before android...in symbian you can set password for sdcard and it becomes unreadable by pc.

I have tried to find a way for days now. Nothing so far. I read that in ICS encryption will be available. Well,if that's the case i guess we'll have to wait till then.
It's a bit shame though because this is a HUGEEEEE security issue that I dont understand why i don't see much fuss about it!!!I'm amazed!
There r a lots of other issues...in my opinion android is still evolving and there is a long way ahead...even then android is by far the best mobile OS.

Hello all,
So I upgraded the phone to ICS 4.0.3 and it seems I cannot find an option to encrypt phone under settings > security.
What I have found is this:
If i connect to pc through usb I need to enter my screen password in order to be able to read the SD Card.
BUT, when I remove the sd card and enter it to an external card reader ALL data are available.
Is there no option to fully encrypt the SD Card in ICS?
What the heck?

[Xperia Sola] Can't see SD card on PC

Hi
I have a problem with my Sola when I plug it into the computer I can see the internal storage but not the SD card. I tried all the connectivity setting and I installed PC Compagnon.
I read on sony forum that driver on PC could be the cause, but I don't know wich one to install...
Thanks
Mabe you can give a try to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606940 if you got a rooted device!
Cheers!
Hmm thanks but I wanted to be sure that all is fine with the phone before unlocking the BL
And this app is for Xperia S that doesn't have SD card slot so im sure about it

On another note, i was trying to investigate why the pc wouldnt recognize my htc legend and says USB not recognized everytime i plug it in... I have all drivers and the phone can access the SD card fine... even in fastboot, it doesnt get recognized...
anyone knows if i can fix this?
im on blayo rom and i reset to default and it is still the same from a fresh restore.

In recovery, advanced, you can try between mount or unmount the sdcard, and select the usb storage.
Then your pc should recognize the sdcard.
If not, try to change your sdcard.

I am using HomICS 2.0 and my Legend boots fine without an SD card. I am missing several apps because I use Link2SD. Maybe your phone is using ext3 during startup? But what would be the use of booting without a card?
Regarding the USB brick, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691187. Maybe this will help. There are several posts about the USB brick on XDA, as well as the SD card fault. I had that as well, until I formatted the SD card in Recovery and created a ext3 partition there.
Hmm on one ocassion my PC wasn't able to detect my legend but later on I found out that it was a problem with my datacable. I hope it might help you.
