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.

When I connect my GTab to my Win7-64 over usb, I can access the main internal sdcard memory but I cannot get to the removeable SD card.
Currently I transfer my movie files to the internal sdcard and then use a filemanager to copy them to the external sd card.
I am on TNT-Lite 4.4.0. Is this how it is supposed to work?
Yes. That is normal behavior.
Thanks. At least know to stop trying to fix it.
On the Samsung Epic 4GT you can access both the internal drive and SD card when you plug it in to the computer. Can we not do that with the EvoLTE? I only get the SD card read. The Samsung does both simultaneously.

This is normal as most HTC devices don't have the extra built in storage that the Samsung devices have

Media Sync lets you access MTP partitions, and the internal storage of the phone can only be accessed via MTP.
If you mount as disk drive, you are using USB Mass Storage ONLY. This means that only a microSD card can be read, as the internal storage is not formatted using FAT32 (it's a virtual partition inside of /data)
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!
After unlocking my bootloader and flashing Aman Recovery, I can't access my external SD card through my computer. Instead my phone gives me access to HTC Storage. Any ideas on how I would go about fixing this?
When I plug in, I get HTC storage and external SD mounted separately.

Usually three things pop up on the computer. internal sd. removable sd, and a CD thing.
I rename the ISO file in /system/etc to eliminate the CD popup (requires root)
Maybe try reinstalling the HTC drivers on the pc and reboot the computer.
Also check that your phone is not in charge-only mode when connected to the computer.
I reinstalled the HTC drivers and had no success. I can access my SD card through my phone, i.e looking at pictures in Gallery. However I still get HTC Storage and a CD drive thing.

when the phone is connected to the computer you should see a special icon on the top of your screen. if you pull down on the notification screen you should see if it is in charging only mode, or if it is allowing sdcard disk access. the access can easily be changed.
but if you see nothing special in the notification area then you have a bad cable, bad phone, or a pc problem.
When I choose disk drive I'm still getting HTC Storage and no access to my external SD card. Is there a way to switch memory access?
if you get access to the internal sd, then look in it for a folder called ext_sd which points to the removable sd card

Insure that the usb option is checked for cd drive
also the power option fastboot is off
I think there may be another option but the old man has a senior moment.

Hi all,
Having a strange issue atm, for some reason when I connect my phone to my PC (win7 x64, latest drivers installed) it does not recognize the external SD card. Autoplay opens and shows a normal window for the Internal SD and a 2nd window opens but it contains no options. The External SD card doesn't get mounted and can't be read/written to.
On the android doubletwist would play music from the external SD but no filemanagers (IO or Rootbrowser) could see the external card there was no reference anywhere in android, even in CWM.
. I removed the card, rebooted, replaced and rebooted. Now doubletwist can "see" the ext card but won't show any songs or build a library, filemanagers can also explore the card (which seems fine) BUT it still doesn't show in windows or under storage.
So how does one fix this? It seems [the SD card] is partially working, I am currently running AOKP R25 Preview 5 for i9100

check the link below for remountSd app
RemountSD
Used RemountSD as linked and MultiMount SD card from the store, neither worked.
RemountSD gives the following from the log:

EDIT: SOLVED To some extent
For some reason it's working now (no restart, just started working) I'll keep fiddling but it seems one of the apps has managed to mount it right. Thanks for putting me on the right track!
