Hi guys,
I have had an Atrix since a few months, and everything has been working fine. However, since the last few days when I connect the phone to my computer over USB, the external 16 Gig SD card shows up as a drive, but when I click on the other drive which is supposed to be the internal SD card, it says "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk (D" in Windows.
Phone: Sim-unlocked AT&T Atrix, rooted, Gingerblur 4.5
Computer: Windows 7 (x64) with drivers installed
It has worked many many times in the past, and I haven't made any recent changes to the phone which are related to this in any way.
I have tried:
1. Changing USB connection mode between all 4 options, include USB Mass Storage
2. Restarting the computer
3. Restarting the phone
4. Switching on/off USB Debugging mode
5. Manually unmounting the "Settings" -> "SD card & phone storage settings" -> "Unmount internal phone storage"
6. Reinstalling the drivers - got it from here because the gitbrew link seems down
In fact I am able to view both /sdcard and /sdcard-ext using Root Explorer on the phone, so I don't think the internal memory is corrupt in anyway.
I've searched both xda and atrixforums, but not found a working answer to it.
Any suggestions? This is very frustrating.
Regards,
Varun
My phone has done this on occasion but a phone reboot fixed it.
Tried many reboots, but not working. Are there any filesystem integrity checks I could do via adb?

This may seem a silly question, but you don't mention doing it. Did you mount the internal sdcard after you unmounted it? Did you unmount while connected to your computer or when not connected?
Were you accessing your internal sdcard with any apps, or did you have it open in root explorer for example when you connected it to your computer? This can mess up the umounting procedure when you plug into USB.
Have you tried on another computer?
Right now, my vibrant can't mount the internal sd so im not able to use the internal sd at all. I tried flashing another rom, like from ICS Passion>ICS Slim but it didn't do anything. If I go into recovery, I can see all my files that I put on the internal sd before my phone couldn't detect the internal SD. I screwed the internal sd up because one of my apps weren't working right, and i deleted it using root browser. Afterwards, my phone couldn't detect it. If i go into the build.prop, it shows nothing about the internal sd and it being mounted so im not sure what to do right now. Should I try formatting the SD? My computer doesn't detect the internal SD and will ADB help? Any help will be appreciated

Did you wipe when moving from ICS Passion to ICS Slim? Are you restoring anything with TI or recovery when you do?
I wiped but I cant use TI because I dont have the internal sd mounted

Do you have a removable SD card you can try and see if that will mount?
My external SD card mounts but not my internal.

Can you go in storage settings and hit Menu and hit Storage configuration and see what you have checked in there?
Well I'm in storage but when i hit menu there's nothing there. All I see is...my internal storage? I thought the SD card that you put in was your external storage?...Well thats 2GB, then its my usb storage that cant mount? Sorry, I guess its my usb storage thats the problem because my internal storage and my sd card show something. its just my USB storage thats unable to mount. If i press "Mount SD Card," then it says "preparing sd card" and then "calculates" my apps photos and everything. But after that it stops, and goes back to "Mount SD Card". Its like my phone doesn't know how to mount it now?

It says Mount SD Card under USB Storage, or under SD card?
My bad, its under usb storage

Try heading into recovery, plug in your USB, and go into Mounts and hit Mount USB storage, see what happens.
it says Unmount and go back...should i click unmount?

Can you access anything from your computer?
I can access the external SD card, but not the 16GB one
Edit:Nevermind, I can access it and look at all the files that i put on there. It says something about 0 bytes free and FAT32

When you tried changing roms, did you wipe everything or just data/cache?
I did wipe data and wiping cache.

Perhaps try wiping and installing CM9. It just stopped when you removed an app? Which app?
Alright, I'll try cm9. I was deleting swype, and after i did that by root browser it didnt mount anymore.
Edit: I remember i did try flashing a cm9 nightlie before i tried flashing ics slim and i got the status 7 error
Maybe try odining back to stock and going back then?
That's difficult, because I can't go to download mode easily. If i use like terminal emulator and try to reboot to download mode, nothing happens. Yesterday, my phone fell out of my pocket and when that happened the battery fell out. I put the battery back in and pressed some stuff I suppose, and I got into download mode. Im not so sure how I did that though...

You can't get into download mode from the terminal right now. What you gotta do is shut down, hold down VOL-Up and VOL-Down at the same time while you plug in the USB.
Hi, I've installed CM7 on my SD card so that when I switch on my NT16 with the SD card it boots to CM7 and Android 3.7.3. I've extended the 4th partition on the SD card to make use of the card's full capacity but I can't seem to put any files onto this partition.
When I explore the SD card it just shows less than 200MB. When I connect the NT16 with the SD card to my laptop it shows two removable disks but when I click either it says to insert a removable disk.
Any ideas as to how I can put files onto my SD card?
Gotta put it into USB mode.
Only way I know how on my 8GB NT is to:
1) Boot from the CM7 SD card.
2) Once running CM7, connect cable to PC.
3) Android bot will appear on screen with a button that you can click to get it into USB mode.
4) Only after you click will both drives (internal and SD card) appear on the PC.
i tried the sdcard way for roms but i just can't wrap my head around how to get to the fourth partition while using the rom. if u browse to it using a file explorer like root explorer it will only display the rom partition rather than the user data partition.
so the question is: how to get the user data partition to show while using the rom...
Thank you!
When connecting my Evo 4g LTE to my PC vuia usb I get the pop up which shows me my sd card but it doesnt show me th entire memory allow what is on sd card not sd card 2. When accessing my sd card via es explore in the phone there files on sd card 2 clearly,,,,so why can't I access them on my PC? Is there a way or locate those files or do I have to move all the files on the phone itself?
ps. PC runs Windows Vista and phone is running MeanRom 3.8 if that matters.
If you are on stock then select mount media to use internal, mount disk drive to use external, if you are on aosp then browse the market, there are a few apps that address this
Mount media displays both on my pc
you're right it does...slipped my mind
I'm not on stock. I'm rooted s-off running MeanRom 3.8

I'm running MeanROM 3.7, and this is how it works for me:
Choose "Media Sync" from the USB connection popup. On the PC you will see a new device "EVO," with sub-folders for "card" and "phone." Card = external SD; phone = internal storage.
I am pulling my hair out here.
I can not, no matter what I try, get access to the internal storage of my 7.2.
If I put an SD card in I can see the files on that but thats it.
Connecting the phone to a PC and selecting file transfer on the phone I get "The folder is empty" from windows.
I have tried all sorts of File Managers on the phone and none of them can access the internal storage
What the actual frick is going on!?!

This is only a guess, but might help.
You reference an SD card.
When did your issue start?
If you setup SD card to extend (act as part of) internal storage, then your comments make sense.
You only see files when SD card is present because device is setup with internal storage to = true internal + SD card size.
You would need to configure SD card to work in multiple devices for your SD card and internal storage to display separately.
This might not be the issue you're having, but only suggestion I can provide at the moment.
