Hey guys. I'm having problems connecting my desire 500 to PC.
When I connect the phone, it shows a notification, but I can't access the menu, where you can switch it to mass storage mode. (in using win7 64bit)
When connected, it is showing installation of drivers, but some of them failed to install.
In my computer it shows me HTC desire 500 anyway, internal memory and SD folders are inside. But after opening the SD card folder, it is showing only few folders. Before returning to stock state it was showing all the SD content correctly.
It's a stock device. No root or anything.
Any ideas, how to fix it, to have access to all the folders on sd card?
Thanks for suggestions.

Hi,
My phone is not able to detect my SD card, All i did was copy a file from a friends laptop using HTC Desire HD data cable... Now my phone wont detect the SD card... Internal memory is detected normally... The SD card is detected normally on my friends Phone, however its not working on mine...
I though it was a software issue, so I reflashed stock JVQ and then Darky's ROM however it still wont show... Any other SD card is detected normally on my Phone, however mine wont get detected no matter what i do...
Any ideas what happened... I only copied a video file... I've even deleted the file and tried however it still doesn't work...
Pls Help!!!

Press thanks if this helps
Does it read in a PC?
If so copy contents off onto PC, reformat SD card as FAT32, then copy contents back over.
Try to format the card on your PC.

I've got the card formatted on my friends phone and then gave it an shot... however it still didn't work... Not sure what else can be done... any other card works fine...
What company and class is your sd card?
same problem.
I've had the same problem. It seems to occur when you disconnect the USB cable from you're phone while files are being transferred. Though I've also had this problem multiple times when the USB cable wasn't even connected to my phone.
You can try to use a microSD-to-usb-converter to backup the files and format it with 'SD Formatter 3.0' from sdcard.org (I'm not permitted to post links yet). Then try to format the microSD again with you're phone and it should work. I recommend you don't put any backupped files back on your microSD since they could have corrupted the microSDcard's filesystem.

Just wondering if you've recently installed any apps?
I've had this problem occur where the Android file structure on the card became corrupt, I'm fairly sure it's related to PowerAmp, but it could also be related to Norton security scan on boot.
Each time, when I put the card in PC, file structure is restored, then Android will recognise it again, as Dr K said.

does the pc recognize it? if so, you can simply save all your stuff on the pc and format as fat32..
hi, i have a samsung captivate running android 2.1, i finally managed to root it with a update package, though, this phone is old, and does not clockwork mod (free version) in the market . therefore, im trying to sideload the free version of clockwork mod with android sideload wonder machine ( AT&T blocked installation of unknown services on this device) , though whenever i mount my external SD my computer wont recognize it( nothing pops up and i cant find the SD card on the computer). any advice/ tips? im using the orginal cable, installed driver many times and restarted many times thanks!
Guys! please help!
I highly recommend you update to at least stock Gingerbread; that way you will be able to sideload apps without any hassle, plus you'll be up to date in general. When you activate USB mass storage from the device, you don't need to mount the external sd separately. They should appear on your computer as 2 removable drives, or sometimes Samsung likes to hide the external sd in a folder called "external-sd" that shows up on your internal.
agree, re recommendation to go GB or at least froyo. is the external_sd folder visible in the phone and does it see the real card?
even when my phone was new, running froyo stock unrooted, and I had never put an external sd in the device, the folder existed, but it was only a placeholder for mounting an sd card.
you can check settings, sd storage, to see if the phone mounted the external sd properly.

Just downloaded and installed the latest ROM for the HTC Vivid (http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=2343586) which claims to have working camera and internal/external SD storage but I cannot get access to either one. I have formatted my SD card to FAT32 like the FAQ suggests and have swapped out to another SD card - still nothing.
Is there something I'm missing??
ICS labels storage as 'SD card' and 'ext_SD' and in jellybean labels them as sdcard0 and sdcard1.. Try using a file explorer to see if you can access it this way.

I've tried using ASTRO File Manager and I don't get an option to select either internal or external from the menu.
In Dropbox, I get "SD card problem. Your device has no SD card, or you have your phone connected to your computer, so Dropbox won't work properly." even though I don't have it plugged in.
Trying to open a multimedia message sent via SMS will result in "No storage. No external storage available."
Something's up....
Are you on the latest version? I know on the 6.30 build storage did work when I was on it.. Something may been screwed up in the latest build, I would post in the ROM section and see if any one there has the same issue

Does have SD card working.
Not sure how but phone asked me to format my SD card this morning and now it works. It seems that I can get into my internal SD but the micro SD is just empty gaining files from random apps I install.

Try changing the mass storage option to MTP in Settings->Storage->(press menu key)USB Connection Type->MTP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34949219&postcount=2
When I did this I was able to connect my phone to my computer via the USB cable on the 6/29 build and could see directories, but not individual files. However I copied the 7/2 build to the appropriate directory and found it fine on the phone.

That worked for me! That's a thanks!
I'm using 4.2.2 Unofficial Dirty Unicorn, mass storage option only mounts internal sd on my pc,
thanks for the info to set mass storage option to MTP, it temporarily fix the problem.
Has anyone been able to get to external storage via USB Mass Storage? I can see external on Windows via MTP, but only internal on UMS. When on the stock ROM I would use my phone as music storage for my vehicles.My vehicles can access UMS not MTP for music.
same problem here

You can use a program called "Android commander" It can push and pull files form your root directory, so be careful with what you do.
As far as i know, twrp gives you the option of mounting seperate partitions. Don't know about cwm. So if you don't wanna download another program, you can do that. And ofcourse there's always 'adb push'.
Cwm too gives you the option to mount internal/external storage. You have to go in 'mount and storage' then select the last option (I don't remember how it's called) and then you select to mount internal storage and you plug your USB cable.
