I am trying to backup my wife's unrooted rezound's sd card, before rooting her phone, but when i connect her phone to the pc i cannot see usb storage but if I go into adb it will recognize the phone. I have reinstalled drivers, toggled usb debugging, etc. All to no avail.
My rooted rezound shows up without incident.
Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Okay, the obvious question is is the phone in Disk Drive mode. Since you have another Rezound that connects fine I assume you have checked this but doesn't hurt to ask. Yours might be in Disk Drive by default where as hers may be in Charge Only by default.

Thanks, yeah, it's in disk mode. I've even toggled between disk and charge as well as the usb debugging on off, and rebooted the phone and pc, and tried different usb ports.... I'm stumpped.

I forgot to mention, her phone does show up in htc sync, if i let that run. It just does not show as a usb storage device. When sync is off.

I feel like a total noob, so please be kind.
I connected my TB to the home PC today (windows XP), but I cannot access the SD card.
When connected to PC, SD Phone & Storage/Unmount SD card is grey'd out.
When disconnected from PC, SD PHone & Store/Unmount SD card is white (available).
My settings:
USB Connection type: Disk drive
Applications/Development: USB debugging is checked
I know for sure that I've been able to access the SD card when connected before. What in the heck am I doing wrong??
What's you're ROM?
Stock ROM. I'm trying to get rooted and need to transfer files to SD card.

I should also note...when connected to PC I can see the phone via Windows explorer. Just not the SD card. Weird.

You might try reseating the card?
I can read and write to the card no problem on the phone. It's the PC that can't see it. I have some pics and video of my kids on there right now so I want to avoid formatting unless absolutely necessary. I'll try reseating, rebooting phone and pc, and see if that kicks anything loose.

Guessing here, but if you are running a GB Rom with an older kernel, you might need to put the phone into internet passthrough mode, wait about 5 secs, then change it to disk drive. That problem was fixed in later kernels.

Make sure you pick disk drive mode and then wait. It takes sometimes a minute plus for my pc to see the second drive (sd card), first one (verizon) comes up quick.
After much tinkering in the past 12 hours I'm convinced the issue is on the Windows XP side and not my phone. I cannot access my wife's SD card either (she also has a thunderbolt). But I CAN access the SD cards in both phones via Ubuntu. So although I've got it narrowed down to XP, I still haven't figured out how to get XP to see it.

did you just connect and wait for a couple of minutes?
you might also want to check device manager make sure windows didn't have in issue loading. I've seen that happen, second the thoughts on waiting a few minutes to see if it shows. Had that happen a few times on windows machines.
Yeah, I waited about 20 minutes hoping something positive would happen. Nothing. I uninstalled the phones driver from 'My Computer/Manage'. Then rebooted the PC. Then plugged the phone back in. It downloaded a fresh driver. Still no SD card tho. Maybe its tome to reinstall XP and see if that fixes the problem.

Have you updated your drivers on your PC?
I have a computer running XP and I can see my sd card just fine on my TB.
I did have an older drivers and needed to load an newer one for it to work when I getting ready to first root my phone as well.
Try running this tool:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
I'm running x64 Windows 7, so I doubt the verison I have will help you. You can get a 32bit version from the link.
It's USBDeview and allows you to see all current connected USB devices as well as all previously used devices. Found it here on another thread, and it was fixing a number of user's issues.
After rooting my phone I havnt been able to connect my thunderbolt to my pc, I have HTC sync installed but nothing. It wont even say anything is connected but it will charge the phone. I have the connect to pc set to mount as drive... any help would be appreciated
Edit your signature so people dont always have to ask what ROM you are running but here we go what ROM are you running?
Make sure you are not paying so much attention to your computer and more to the phone. Depending on what ROM you are running if you connect it to the computer the phone will show a USB connected but you have to press a button to finish the connection (on the phone) it is usually a swipe down from task bar look for it, that is how it is on the ROM I am running A05PTH3ORY. Make sure to thank me if this help you.

Im running gingeritis 3d right now. The phone only shows that its charging and nothing in the notification bar. This happened also when i was running other versions of bamf and uber bamf
Make sure all the UBS Debugging is still checked, my ROM told me to keep it checked or I would have problems. I have not tried to connect to the computer without it.

Put your phone into Internet Pass Through mode. After 30 seconds (or more, not less), put it back into Disk Drive mode.

I saw that you have sync installed, but do you have the proper drivers installed on the computer that you're using?
Also, is it just sync that isn't connecting, or can you go to "My Computer" or the equivalent and see the SD card, or does it not show up there either?
Have you disabled or removed any of the system services?

There are SEVEN versions of Gingeritus3D v1.0 to date. The specific version is actually a rather critical issue since they're not all built on the same base or use the same kernels.
When you plug the phone into a computer it connects as an installer so you can install the driver and Verizon stuff. Where can I find those files to delete them? I'd like for my phone to automatically connect as MTP for file transfer without having to pull down the notification on the phone can change it.
+1 for this. Is really irritating

I disabled all verizon apps minus the mobile hotspot and now it automatically connects the storage to my computer. I never saw anything about verizon when plugging it in, but I disabled it all first.
I've got everything disabled too and still does it so idk

Try enabling developer options and then tick on usb debugging .

I just noticed that at first a drive that says "verizon mobile" shows up in my computer, then it goes away on its own and the media drive comes up after. Takes maybe 15 seconds or so before the media drive appears. I'll look into disabling the verizon mobile part, but at least it doesn't pop up with anything on the desktop (for me at least) and goes automatically goes away for some reason.
It does go to mtp if you wait long enough. I guess I was never that patient. It would still be much better if it would just go straight to it.
Same problem on osx here, and thing is there's not even an installer for osx. All it has in there are dll and exe. Can find any solution to permanently disable it yet. Tried disable all vz stuff and didn't work for me here.
I just had this problem a half hour ago I wanted to transfer music it ended up being the off brand usb cable I was using s soon as I connected the oem one and check the mtp box it connected and I can transfer files

I'd like the option for the phone to default to charge-only, so that damn windows popup doesn't come up anymore. I get the CD drive verizon mobile first. Then when I close that, it comes up with the SCH-I605, and I have to close that too.
My car deck can read music from thumb drives and would charge my last phone and play music from it at the same time. Deck doesn't get anything from note and note says connected as installer.
I'm rooted, usb debugging on, most Verizon bloat gone.

Does anyone have an update to this?
I want to stop the annoying popups.
Thanks.
Run a custom kernel.
Problem solved
You could also turn off auto run in windows. It is a lot safer anyway (For those of us that plug in something where we don't know where it's been.)

It doesn't address the issue. It just hides the iso popup. It will still go to connected as an installer for 15-20 seconds, before your storage is available.

so i guess after 20 months of this thread being dead. no one came up with answer to this problem?????? cuz i'd like to just go straight to the mtp connection.
specially with the project i'm doing right now. where there's going to be a lot of plugging/unplugging

Flash aosp rom. Always in mtp mode.
I know this is old thread but if rooted you can rename system/etc/autorun.iso to system/etc/autorun.bak to keep the Verizon stuff from popping up when plugging in to computer. Still haven't found a way to skip installer mode though.
it's another one of verizons stupid things.
i have a sprint note 2 also, it goes straight to MTP. No sprint installer at all.
UPDATE 3 I've run into my ultimate issues, when plugged in to install drivers, I get the error "device unplugged" but it's plugged in, charging. I have tried different ports on my PC, different cables, I don't know what to do at this point..
---------------------------------------
UPDATE 2 I've gotten the device to finally recognize as an MTP device, but it only stays connected for a short time, it disconnects after a few seconds, I've tried swapping cables already, as well. Any advice?
---------------------------------------
UPDATE Okay, I've solved the problem with the crashing, but now my phone shows as it isn't even connected at all. I've re-installed drivers, I am completely stumped atm.
----------------------------------------
Basically, I've been having this problem ever since I've flashed to 4.2.1/4.2.2 where my phone will crash when it's plugged into a computer for file management.
When plugged in via USB I get the typical prompt that says "USB Connected" & "Turn on USB storage"
With common sense, I choose to turn on USB Storage and I basically get the loading ring, and after some time my phone just freezes up, and I have to reset it using the volume rocker down + power.
I've flashed a different rom, wiped cache/dalvik, factory restore, wipe system, fix permissions, & just constantly trying to get it to connect.
Is there anyway I can make the phone automatically mount when plugged in? Like on 4.1.2, all you had to do was plug it in and you can easily drag and drop files? I'm not very fond of this turning on USB storage option.
bump? Really need to get this problem solved..
This send to be an issue with 4.2.1 I have the same issue. Freezing completely when transferring files.
Easy solution for me is the airdroid app from the market. Easily transfers over wifi to and from the phone.

trying to move some tunes onto my phone, it isn't giving me the "Choose Connection Type" dialog when I plug in a USB cable, and the computer isn't recognizing it as a drive -- it charges, and that's it. I'm sure I'm just missing a setting somewhere, but I sure can't find it anywhere. What am I missing?
Phone is stock, unrooted. Thanks in advance.

If you have more than one USB port, try it on a different one. The USB ports on one side of my laptop only charge for some reason, but the other side works fine. Also make sure that you have the most recent drivers installed.

If you're on cn10.1-based ROM, you need to go into settings, storage, click menu and choose computer USB connection and select MTP.

I'm not rooted, just using the regular, out of the box ROM, software version 3.16.651.3 71ORD.
Had this issue, wouldnt come up on computer and phone didnt show any USB options MTP or Storage device, rebooted computer and phone and that didnt help it. I ended up switching ROMs and that worked for me I was using stocked with goodies and switched to ViperROM 4G 3.16 and now it works....
Its common for the USB Ports on these phones to go bad.
