Hi to all! I am having a problem with my device HTC Droid DNA running on NOS 3.0.3 GSM Android version 4.2.2 sense 5. Here's the problem, when i connect my Phone to PC it is being read as CD-Rom, i already installed latest HTC sync and i believe that HTC drivers are installed along with it, correct me if im wrong. Am i missing something or is there a workaround on this in order for me to be able to access my files on the phone and be able to copy files from PC to phone and vice versa.
Appreciate for any help and guidance. Cheers!!!

Google removed support for mass storage mode a while ago. The DNA and most, if not all, newer phones and phones updated to jellybean remove the support for mass storage and switch to MTP.
So what I'm trying to say is, the DNA doesn't support mass storage. It doesn't have a removable sdcard or even an dedicated internal sdcard.
The 'sdcard' is shared with the data partition and cannot be unmounted from android and mounted as a mass storage device.

You can use adb to pull and push folders and specific files from your phone.
To pull items from your phone:
adb pull <path to folder or file on phone> <path where you want the file saved on your computer> (don't use the '<>' symbols)
Note: you can use root browser to find the path on your phone
To push items to your phone:
adb push <path of folder/file on your computer> <path to folder or file on phone>
Alternatively, you can uninstall the HTC sync and install the usb driver, then when your phone is plugged in go to my computer, find the drive labeled HTC6435LVW. You'll be able to drag and drop to and from your phone.

Look in Windoze Explorer, the phone should be listed as HTC6435LVW. Also there is a free program called Android

That's odd. You might want to try using uninstaller software like Revo Uninstaller to get all the junk left behind, reboot, then install the driver again. Also make sure you're installing the 64-bit driver if you're windows installation is 64-bit. To find that, Start > right click My Computer > properties > under System you'll see System type

Thanks for the tip, I'll try that!
Thanks for all who replied to my query! I was now able to connect my phone to PC and it is being read as phone storage, the issue is that, phone will be read as CD on windows XP, i tried to connect it to windows 7 and everything is fine!
Thanks again!
do you not get no notification when you plug in your phone?
I get a notification, one is usb debugging and the other is usb network connection type. Base on what I experienced you really can't access phone memory / storage on xp. But in windows 7 everything works fine.

What do you mean, you can't install a drive? Do you mean you can't mount the SD card? Have you tried installing HTC Sync for the Eris from HTC's website? I know the SDK is supposed to have the drivers necessary, too, but just a thought.
After the Command Prompt vanishes, can you use the SDK Manager then? Have you selected any Available Packages to download and install from the SDK (if you need anything besides the tools).
Also, I see that they changed the organization of the SDK sub-folders as of v8. aapt.exe and adb.exe, and some other files are now in the platform-tools sub-folder now instead of the tools sub-folder.

I can mount it, but every time i plug it in, it asks me to install a drive. I have tried to direct it to the sdk folder but it wont connect. I have also tried HTC sync and i cant get the drivers intalled either becuase it wont recognize my phone.
After the cmd promt vanishes nothgin happens; its like i didn't click it at all.
No, i have not installed any additional packages. By the way, i do not have a platform-tools folder, just add-ons, platforms, tools, sdk manager(which doesn't work), read me and uninstall.

Well let's take one step at a time. I'm concerned that you say you can't get HTC Sync's drivers to install. Are you sure you've tried the right one (meant for the Eris)? It should be version 2.0.33 and apparently it's dated 4/23/2010. Download it again from the link on this page http://www.htc.com/us/support/droid-eris-verizon/downloads/, unplug your phone, install HTC Sync completely, then plug your phone in. Wait for Windows to install all the drivers, it may take a few minutes to finish.
What method are you trying to use to mount your SD card to the computer? Meaning, are you using the official method from the phone to mount it from the notifications menu, for instance, and which dismounts the SD card from the phone as long as it's mounted to the computer?
Does everything else in Windows Vista work right? Are you able to plug USB flash drives and/or external hard drives in and have them work?
I forget the circumstances, but in the past (not right now), maybe when I'm not using my phone for tethering, Windows gave me a drive letter for my phone as long as it was plugged in, even when I didn't choose to mount the SD card. Trying to view the contents of the drive letter results in an error until you actually tell the phone to mount the SD card as USB storage.

If you're trying to actually use HTC Sync to sync (not just for the drivers), you have to be running a stock ROM like xtrSENSE, xtrROM or others. Or a Sense-based Froyo ROM, but those aren't really ready for day to day use yet.
Then when you plug your phone in you get three options instead of two:
1. Charge only
2. Mount USB
3. HTC Sync
And it has to be in HTC Sync mode for the HTC Sync program to see it.

Have you tried rebooting both the phone and the computer (with the phone disconnected)? Only reconnect it after both are fully loaded.

In other words, with some ROMs when I plug my phone into my USB cable on my computer, the computer immediately shows a drive letter for it. It won't be accessible, though, until I choose the mount USB option on the phone.
There are other alternatives for mounting the SD card through USB, maybe you should try them.
There's a widget on the market that isn't free called Dual Mount SD. Personally I use it, it allows mounting the SD card without dismounting it from the phone. Given the problems you're having, though, perhaps this wouldn't work for you either.
There's a free program called QtADB you can find a link to in a thread on here. Google for QtADB XDA and you'll find it, and it'll link to the website for the program. You can even set it up to do this wirelessly if you have a wireless network/router. When I had real internet (not tethering like now) I tried it and it worked great. It uses something free called Wireless ADB or something like that.
You can do many things with this program, and you have to have the Android SDK installed to use it, but you can see what's on the SD card and copy files to and from it with it.
The only other alternative would be to use a Micro SD card to USB adapter, but then you'd have to turn your phone off every time you want to access you SD card on your computer.
I use DropBox (free) to upload files from my computer and download them to my phone all the time.
i am missing one called ADB and High Tech Computer lol any idea how to get them
http://www.htc.com/us/support/thunderbolt-verizon/downloads/
you need HTC Sync.
If you download this it will allow you to just install those drivers you need and not HTC sync itself.
still does not have those 2 drivers
Do you have ADB installed? Have you downloaded the Android-SDK for Windows? Without that, you aren't going anywhere with ADB.

hmmm it did for me, but read below. Also, if it still says it isn't installed, go to device manager and right click on the ?ADB and click install drivers, and tell it browse your computer and chose drive C: and click OK. It should find the drivers.

first thing you need to do is this, download the SDK, put it where ever you want, and then run the program inside the main folder, which will update everything.
i think it installed when i installed htc sync i did the sdk thing with the nexus s so maybe that worked out but the high tech computer does not want to i am trying to tether from where you plug it in to the comp and on the TB show what you want to do like like mount etc...

Hi all
Thanks to those who replied though it would be nice if the post was fully read first... for example, I cannot just connect the phone and copy its content via USB!
Here's the problem:
- phone screen is smashed and shows nothing
- phone still powers up though
- it is not rooted
- it has data on its internal memory that I want to copy
- it has pattern lock activated
- computer (MS Vista OS) recognises a USB devise is logged in, but it doesn't read it as a drive, and KIES just idles... no doubt because I would need to change the phone settings, which I can't do with a smashed screen.
QUESTIONS:
- How can I access phone contents to copy them? (repair shop wants $220)
- I was told using ADN....
I installed SDK Tools but how do I start ADN?
Many thanks
the easiest way might be connect to your computer and copy the contents of the internal sdcard if your computer sees the phone.
If you wan to use odin, use file dump to dump the contents of your phone i believe.
I'm quite the noob when it comes to adb scripting, but I believe that
- start a command line within the directory where ADB executable is located
- type in "adb usb" and it should connect to your phone
- then type "adb pull /mnt/sdcard/* X:\path-to-directory\"
commands without parentheses... I hope it will work
Thanks for the replies
I just amended my original post to say the computer does not recognise the phone when USB connected... KIES tries to connect but fails (no doubt because there is no response from the phone).
Did you try and connect it through mass storage?
Settings - Wireless and networks - USB utilities.
Also try uninstalling kies and reinstall

Hey there,
Here is a list of what I have before I get started.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi (P7510)
Android Version - 3.2
Kernel Version - [email protected]#1
Build Number - INFAMOUS TAB 0.1 P7510UEKMM
Basically I have no access to my tablets internal SD card via my PC (Windows 7 and KIES)
I bought this tablet from a friend who rooted and flashed with the INFAMOUS mod.
I have searched all over the web for an answer and cant find something for this case specifically.
Each time I plug in my tab, my PC tells me that the Hardware ID is missing.
I can see the tablet in my Devices and Printers (displayed as SAMSUNG_android) as well as in my Device Manager. In device manager it says the drivers are up to date and functioning.
What have I tried?
USB Debugging (On and Off)
Clearing cache via recovery mode
Updating drivers via W7 and KIES via Samsung
I have tried following a few threads on installing the KIES software without internet connectivity. However I would rather not use the KIES Software anyway as it is kind of garbage.
I am looking to have access to the internal SD card so I can flash a new Rom on the Tab, however I would first like to even just have access to the file transferring.
Can anyone point me in the direction of help and me being able to enjoy this tablet?
I hope I have provided enough information. I am a pretty techy person and I understand how to do all of this but it seems like I am missing something really big.
Something to take note of, whenever the tab is plugged in (PC or Wall) there is a red x over the battery symbol and the tab charges very slowly.
Cheers

The Galaxy Tab doesn't expose the internal "sdcard" as a device that you can mount on your PC. If you enable it, it shows up as a MTD device.
The sdcard partition is formatted using a Linux native filesystem, not FAT, so Windows can't recognize it.
I use adb to push files onto the sdcard. ADB comes with the android SDK.

As stated, make sure you have your tablet in MTP, and if so, make sure to update your drivers.
Settings > Storage > Additional Settings (top right) > MTP
To build on the above, if you have uninstalled Kies but also the Samsung USB drivers, you will be unable to connect the tab. Reinstall (or maybe uninstall and reinstall if you still have them) the drivers. A lot of the times that is the issue.
Go to Settings>Storage>Options/Info (The one on the upper right)>MTP(Check this one)
hope this help

Ahhh ha! As soon as I uninstalled the driver that windows found and used the Google Driver that came along with the Android SDK, the tablet was recognized. Alas, I can finally use this tablet.
In the end it was as simple as a driver error, I spent a very long time searching last night and now I just feel silly.
The tablet still shows the red X over the battery symbol, whether I have MTP with USB Debugging on or off. I guess this can be avoided with certain ROMS. Anybody know of a ROM that avoids this?
Thank you all for your immediate responses!

By the way you two, there is no option in 3.2 for this.
In 3.2 its Applications/Development/USB Debugging
In storage there is no option to choose MTP, it seems that it always has been enabled and I cant find it anywhere in the settings to change it.
Thanks for the input though

For honeycomb and many others, debugging is always there. Under the storage option, you have an Additional Settings button usually and it should be present in there. I was always running3.2 until like a couple days ago so surprised its not there. Oh well problem solved lol
I'm having a similar problem with my tab not being recognised by my pc (win7 64) or in kies. It was originally an M380W (Korean) model, which I updated to a P7510. That all went fine, and the tablet works perfectly, except for the fact that my pc no longer sees it when it's plugged in. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, but no dice. I'm going to see if adb works.
Hello , well im sorry to bother you guys but i just cant seem to connect through ADB using any Cyanogenmod rom but adb seems to work on stock roms. Ive tried everything reinstalling drivers and using different cables but nothing seems to work , could anyone help me out?
Try this and see what the outcome is good luck

Now again I am using Windows 7 so the steps are almost exactly the same. I literally just changed the device to a USB Mass Storage device and it worked!
Lol after trying so many drivers and it being the generic driver makes me angry. Here's what I did.
1. Right click on My Computer, go to Properties.
2. Go to Device Manager
3. Find your My HTC (should be the second one Android USB Device), right click on it and select Update Driver Software
4. Then select Browse My Computer for Software
5. Then choose Let Me Pick which driver to install on the bottom.
6. Then choose USB Mass Storage Device
Then it takes some time to think and viola! All working! However we are not DONE!
EDIT: So the next step I did after experienced issues remounting after unplugging the phone. I have change the MTP to ADB Testing Interface and things seem to be mounting everytime. Rebooted phone and PC, both worked again so I think this may be a working solution.
Now go to MTP.
1. Right click on My Computer, go to Properties.
2. Go to Device Manager
3. Find your MTP (should be under Unknown Devices), right click on it and select Update Driver Software
4. Then select Browse My Computer for Software
5. Then choose Let Me Pick which driver to install on the bottom.
6. Then choose Google Inc. and the Driver is ADB Testing Interface.
ENJOY!
