[Q] CM7 USB storage issue - LG Optimus 2x

Hello,
recently I flash my O2x with stable CM7 and from then I have issue with usb mounting. I plug the usb on the pc and a USB composite device appears with problem (device can't start). This happens also if enable/disable usb debugging or press the button for the usb storage support. I have try the 173 nightly same thing. To be sure that there is no problem with the pc I have try it on 2 different laptops.
Also to be sure that is CM7 issue and not my mobile I have restore a backup with the stock rom and everything works perfect.
Do we have any idea what is the problem?

Have you installed an LG Mobile driver pack?

in 2 from the 3 pc was installed (the third one is from a friend that has a LG laptop(!) and HTC phone)

I have a similar problem with CM7. I flashed first with NB 157 and now I'm with the latest one but I've never figured how to mount the phone as a usb storage. I use the default CM mounting points. SD card is mounted as /sdcard and internal is /emmc titanium backup, rom manager and all other software works fine with the sdcard, but every time I try to mount it as storage the windows popup that the USB Device cannot be recognized. I've installed the latest drivers from LG'w website. Also I've tried on 2 different PC's both with windows 7 but no luck. Also I've read somewhere in the forums that Dual Mount SD Widget can mount the SD card, i purchased it from the market but it doesn't work.

This is generally an issue with cm7 based roms. It's only reported on Windows and I haven't seen this problem in Linux.
If you have CWM, use it to mount your disk from recovery

Thank you for the tip but I've tried mounting usb storage in recovery and it doesn't work on Windows 7 64 bit. Also I've reinstalled the LG drivers but no luck so far.
Actually in recovery the OS recognize the phone and installs about 4-5 drivers including the Mass Storage one. Unfortunately there is one unidentified device in a list and when it fail to recognize it doesn't mount the phone as storage.

I'm thinking this is a driver issue. Any chance of getting your hands on a linux?
Anyway, CWM mount works for me in win7_64. It's weird why it doesn't on your setup. I've read of USB tethering issues on GB roms like cm7, but not on stock-based GB roms. Could be a driver issue fixed deep within the kernel to work on the specific board.
Try using topogigi's or paul's rom. USB mount works on both.

I've tried it on Ubuntu and it works like charm. Actually both emmc and sdcard are recognized and mounted as separate flash drives.

I'm seeing some mounting fixes in here: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=p990
This might fix mount problems on next latest release. Haven't tried it yet though. You might want to check the kang thread if someone built from the latest sources

What do you mean on next release? Everything you see there is in #177

My bad. I meant the next nightly release at the time of my post above. I'm now on nightly_177 but haven't tried mount on Windows. Works as always in Linux

I can confirm that cm7.1 stable through 177 the usb mounting doesn't work under windows but only under linux.
Does anyone know where i can put it as a bug?

Its working for me, had a problem when I tried it first, after that, power cycle phone, reinstalled the SD card and after that everything worked...it might be also that I reinstalled the LG drivers yesterday before doing this.

It's a difficult one, as it doesn't affect everyone. My USB mounting is still fine.
For what it's worth, I'm using LG United Mobile Driver v3.4

[Q] Not able to Mount USB Storage in CWM

I recently upgraded from CM7 XRON to Classicnerd ICS and for some reason, I cannot access the USB Storage via CWM or through MTP in ICS. The only way that works for me is to boot up WebOS and mount the USB drive. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this same issue, or is aware of a fix for it? Thanks!
Make sure MTP is set under storage settings.
I also found I had to disable USB debugging under the developer options to connect to my XP PC.
I did both of those things, that is what is so strange. I am on Windows 7. Oh well, at this point I will just boot into webOS to access the sd card, just a pain to do that.
Use airdroid....no need of USB mounting....
Sent from my Touchpad using xda premium
I just had the same problem. Updated from Xronified CM7 to CM9. USB won't work in either mode.
update: Found the solution here...

I seem to have problems with certain USB ports on my laptop. One will not work at all while the other works fine. I always recommend trying an alternate port on your laptop/desktop if you think all your settings are fine in CM.

Internal Memory and Memory Card not showing up on the computer

Hello guys,
I had CM7 running for a while because of its stability. However, I have used CM9 as well for a long time on my P990. Today, I was planning to revert back to CM9 and connected the phone to the computer but the internal memory nor the memory card shows up in my computer. I tried two different laptops and also reflashed cm7 which was already present in my memory card. Still no luck.
When I connect the phone, I get the bell, alert or whatever you want to call it from windows that it has detected that a usb device has connected. Though nothing shows up in my computer. USB Debugging is switched on. And I also press the notification on the phone which should allow me to transfer files between phone and computer.
Im out of ideas, please help.
Re-install the LG USB drivers, found here in the developers section.
I had the same problem when I flashed my phone and everytime I changed roms, I would have to install the drivers again.

And if reinstalling the drivers does not help for whatever reason, and if all that you're trying to do is to push the CM9 rom files from your PC to the SD on your phone, then try following the tip from XDA-TV using SSHDroid. It worked well for me.

The example in the video is with a Ubuntu machine, but you can follow the same steps for using PC with Putty and WinSCP.
And I haven't tried this, but another alternative is using adbwireless available through Play:

Can't connect to pc

Hey, Sorry if this has been answered before but anyways;
I just rooted my streak 7 and put on the ICS Beta5.0.1 ROM. Now when I plug it into the PC nothing happens, it still charges fine, but nothing in the way of seeing the storage device in My Computer.
Is this a common problem with this build? (I didn't see anything about it in the build notes)
If not any ideas on how to fix?
If it is, what are some alternatives to accessing the internal memory? I want to put on Gapps via CWM, but as far as I can tell CWM only reads update zips from the internal memory... (If I'm wrong about this please correct me)
Any help would be great
Cheers!
Not sure if MTP is broken on that build or you may have to install drivers again. No, the only way to install Gapps is from CWM or TWRP. On the other hand a factory "Update.pkg" can only be installed from a factory recovery, CWM/TRWP can't do it.
Whoops! All must be done from an external SD card!
You need to possible reinstall drivers.

So I went into device manager and uninstalled the device.
Unplugged and plugged back in and it comes up as an 'MTP USB Device' under 'Portable Devices'.
So from the ADB drivers zip I pointed it to install the MTP driver (tried the ADB fastboot driver too but it wouldnt allow it).
It starts installing the MTP driver but it fails. The reason it gives is: 'This device Cannot start. (Code 10)
What OS are you running even?

Win7 64
I've only tested 5.0.1 for a couple hours, but MTP isnt particularly reliable on it.
Put gapps on an external sdcard and flash from there.
Yeah CWM (V6) doesn't recognise my external SD card for some reason. tried a couple of different cards too...
Anyways I just flashed back to stock 3.2, reinstalled PC drivers, put Gapps on the internal flashed back to ICS and loaded gapps through CWM. All is good.
Still won't connect to the PC on the ICS rom, but that's okay for now. Got everything I need.
Cheers.

[Q]

I just installed JCSullins' September ROM; despite mounting on both OSX and Windows 8 partitions, and trying on my other computer, it won't mount as a USB drive on the computer for me to transfer information
Otherwise, I'm using Sullins' , Gapps, and CWM Recovery package
I'm sure its something simple and stupid, but it's not really immediately apparent on the interwebs. I couldn't find a recent FAQ either. Any hints?

I don't even remember the last time I mounted my TouchPad to my computer. I always use FTP to transfer files back and forth over WiFi. When I did though, I remember having to go into recovery and mount USB from there. Or boot into webOS and mount it. I think mounting it in Android is buggy or something from what I remember.

The last time I did this was CM9 (I think?) days, before data/media builds, and I had no problems mounting Android volumes then

Well sorry. I don't mount my Tablet. Use FTP. It's fast and no cables.

I've had this problem a couple of times, after enabling Developer options (10 taps on build in About Tablet at the bottom of settings) remove the ticks from USB debugging. It's appears to have worked for me but I'm not saying that this is the answer.
All the best, let me know how you get on.
I figured it out.
OSX doesn't support MTP. The volumes won't even show up on Disk Utility
The popup I was getting was just indication that OSX recognizes something plugged into the USB port; however, since there's no support for MTP, it won't mount the partition it contains.
It probably wasn't popping up on VMware is because it won't even mount on OSX, and therefore won't load onto VM.
I downloaded Android File Transfer and all is well.

[Q] Unable to mount storage to laptop

This one seems to be more of a Windows problem than an issue with the Nexus, so a Mod can feel free to move this if it's miscategorized.
I just got my Nexus 6 today and I'm currently trying to get everything set up. I consolidated the files between my Internal and External storage from my HTC One M8 earlier into a folder on my laptop (including SMS and Titanium Backups), with the plan to just dump everything into the Nexus internal storage. When I plug the phone into my primary laptop, I get the notification that the "Google Nexus ADB" software installed successfully, and the battery charges. However, it doesn't mount the storage, even when I play with the USB mount settings.
It's likely an issue just with my primary laptop, because I tried plugging the Nexus into both my work laptop and my desktop computer, and the storage mounted on both of them fine. Any suggestions on how to fix this? For the time being, I'm re-copying the files onto my desktop, but I would like to get this resolved for the future.
FYI, I'm running Windows 7 on all 3 of the aforementioned machines.
Thanks in advance.
Did you install the latest Google Drivers for the Nexus? There was an update to the drivers in the Android SDK.

I didn't update the drivers on any of my computers but the phone mounted fine on 2 of them. I'll give this a try later tonight or tomorrow, though and see if that resolves it for the problem computer. Thanks!
