Asha 501- usb mass storage connectivity issues.

hey guys, I've just connected my phone to an android tab using usb mode. 1st thing is it didn't detect my phone as mass storage. 2nd thing is after unplugging my phone, all the content in my memory card seems to be scrambled, everything looks in different language/characters. Not sure what to do apart from reformatting the memory card. Any suggestions...
I tried restarting the phone, reinserted the memory card. All info on memory card is scrambled.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Interestingly this just published today but not familiar with Asha 501 USB connectivity behaviour other than as a Windows USB mass storage device: http://conversations.nokia.com/2013/08/05/nokia-asha-501-how-to-add-music/
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

  • N95 Mass storage connection issue.

    I have a strange problem with my N95. When I connect to my PC Vista cannot install the drivers for the mass storage/data transfer application. The drivers for PC suite, media player and image print work fine, but it appears that the drivers for Mass Storage are not on the CD.
    I decided to upgrade my firmware to attempt to solve the problem, but when using Nokia Software Updater, the program stalls at the detecting device stage (step 2/3).
    Can anyone help? As without the ability to connect the phone as a mass storage device, I cannot use Nokia Map Loader (again it will not detect my phone - despite PC suite detecting it fine)

    i also have the same problem, but wonder why no one has replied a solution to this issue. as you describe exact same problem. if anything ive found with this phone so far, its a NIGHTMARE.
    there was definatly a problem with the firmware when it was first shipped, after this was updated fixed some things, but the WLAN wouldnt work and needed alot of research online to fix it, nokia support to note didnt have a clue. The problem i had was due to setting the aerial to always on, and not power saving. Anyway if someone has an answer as to why the mass storage driver wont install and so i can put the nokia maps on the phome, it would be much appreciated.

  • K8N SLI Issue - USB Mass Storage Issue

    New install.  I have an issue with the USB Mass Storage device on my Canon printer.
    When the machine boots, it pauses just on bootup for about 5 minutes.  Pauses right after displaying the CPU information.
    It eventually boots up into windows, but shows a yellow exclamation mark on 'USB Mass Storage Device'.  I have tried uninstalling the printer drivers and reinstalling with no luck.  If I pull the USB printer plug and then boot, I have no issues.
    I've upgraded to the newest bios.  I feel like even if I could fix the Windows driver issue, it might not help since the main pause is in the Bios startup...
    Any ideas?

    hi Zepp,
    Welcome to the forum
    Most common issue with usb is front case USB lead. if you have a lead connected to jusb1 or jusb2 on the mobo disconnect it & see if u still have issues. The reason is shown if your front usb does NOT work with your k7n2 board read this you'll see from the title it's not just the neo4
    Have you a usb memory stick or anything else plugged in.
    luck

  • LG Spectrum - Issue w/ USB Mass Storage funcionality

    I just got this phone a few days ago and I am trying to play the music that I have stored on my phones memory card through my car stereo by plugging it in the USB port in my car. When I try to do this, the screen on my phone just flashes back and forth from the charging home screen to the regular home screen and it (my car stereo) says reading error. Prior to getting the LG SPectrum I had an HTC Evo on Sprint and it used to work whenever I plugged my phone into my cars USB port. Is there a setting I need to change in my phone or is this phone just not compatible w/ car stereos? This may be a question that I need to ask my car manufacturer but I figured I would start here for some advice.
    On another note, I am also wondering if this phone has an indicator light. I have been looking ever since I got this phone but can't seem to find it anywhere. All I see on it is the front camera and a motion sensor. Am I missing something?

    Yes I have tried that but it still gives me the same result. Itis a little disappointing that I can't get it to work like my Evo did. I never had the need for an iPod b/c my phone always did what I needed as far as music goes. So is am is it safe to assume that it won't be possible to play my music on my phone through my car stereo? Any way it could work through bluetooth? I am somewhat disappointed w/ some of the other features of this phone (especially not having a notification light) but I could get past that but not having the ability to have the USB mass storage capability is a huge let down.

  • How to use cRIO USB mass storage?

    Hi,
    I am using the NI9215 as an analog input port and want to write the data into an external USB mass storage which is connected in the
    cRIo-9012 USB port.  I do not have any idea how to write the data into USB mass storage, does anyone can give me some help?       

    Differences among brands and models are due to the fact that certain devices take greater liberties with the USB mass storage device specification than others.  A venerable operating system like Windows (or even Linux) is shot through with workarounds for device- and manufacturer-specific issues that are not present (as much) in VxWorks, which is the OS used on the cRIO-9012.  Therefore only devices that adhere very rigorously to the specification are going to work properly.
    Unfortunately, degree of adherence to the USB spec is not something that's generally published about a device, nor is there any sort of official certification process.  So to some extent it's trial and error.  I am working with our support enginners currently to develop a list of devices that NI certifies as interoperable with VxWorks, and also VxWorks is increasing the robustness of their USB support with every release.
    EDIT: And the advice about reformatting the device is very sound.  The cRIO-9012 does not support the NTFS file system, only FAT 12, 16, and 32.  If the USB device is formatted for NTFS, it will not function properly.
    Finally, if anyone sees a storage device that fails to work properly despite all these suggestions, please post as much information as possible (model number, manufacturer, capacity).  Having this information will allow us to work with the manufacturers of VxWorks to improve USB support.

  • KDE 4.2 and USB Mass Storage , does not write data until unmounted

    Hi,
    I have a Nokia phone that I connect for USB mass storage, and KDE 4.2.2 does not seem to write the data to the device until I unmount.
    Is there a way to force the write so it happens right away?  It's annoying because I can't see any progress when it copies the data at unmount.
    Later,
    Snorkel

    That's kinda the way linux does things, not specifically a KDE issue.  It's so that the system only has to write out to the media only once, even if you separately add/delete/move 50 different files.
    I think you can run 'sync' and that will flush all the file system buffers to disk.

  • USB Mass Storage Device won't Eject/Unmount

    My brother bought a Sanyo ICR-B180NX digital voice recorder last year to use with his iBook. It was working very well up until about August of 2005. At that point, the recorder would mount on the desktop, and he could get all the files off (it records direct to MP3 format rather than WMV, so he can edit his files very easily), but when it came time to eject it, the device icon would disappear and then immediately re-appear on the desktop. The display on the voice recorder remained static at the "Connect" screen.
    I believe this happened in conjunction with some sort of OS update, as it was a "sudden" thing. We can't quite recall what happened between the times it worked and the time it stopped working.
    I have tried the device on a PC, and it works the way it should, so I don't believe there's anything wrong with it.
    Now, I know the system requirements on the website say that you must have Windows, but a statement from a support company (we returned it to the place where we got it, and they sent it out for repairs, and it came back with a letter) states that the device does act as a generic Mass Storage device, and thus may work with most systems.
    All my other USB storage devices (ie. SanDisk 12-in-1 card reader, SanDisk Cruzer Titanium 2GB, iPod Photo), and FireWire devices (ie. WiebeTech TrayDock Extreme) work fine and unmount fine.
    Does anyone know of any changes to the way Mass Storage devices are ejected in the current iteration of the OS? I haven't had a chance to test the device under an older OS, but will soon.
    Alternately, if anyone has any suggestions regarding replacements (not really looking forward to that, given this recorder cost almost $300CAD), let me know. We need a device that can plug in via USB and transfer files to his iBook which he can edit together (he's a newspaper reporter in training, and needs to edit the interviews to take out such things like dead air, etc).
    Thanks!
    Mike Ma.

    Hi
    +USB mass storage device. An error occurred during the installation of the device the data is invalid+
    This typical error message appears if the installation of external USB devices failed.
    Why? This is not easy to say
    What you could do firstly is to clean your registry using the freeware software called CCleaner (Google for that).
    Install it and clean your OS and the registry entries.
    After cleaning access the device manager and remove all USB root hubs and all USB Host controllers from the device list and reboot the notebook.
    New reboot should cause a new installation of USB drivers.
    Finally try to connect and try to install your external USB devices again.

  • Mass Storage Driver Severe Crash - USB Mass Storage device useless

    I am running the latest, updated version of OSX Leopard; Hardware Growler; and Parallels Desktop. Today, as I was doing a very resource-intensive task on Windows XP - via parallels - I plugged in my Samsung M610 to try to access the memory card. I then closed Windows XP, and noticed that my cpu was still registering at 100% output. Opening Activity Monitor and looking at the processes there, I saw that Mass Storage was taking 100.00 units of CPU output, and was not responding, I immediately clicked end process. Much to my dismay however, Activity Monitor then proceeded to lock up, so I forced it to quit, which caused finder to lock up in turn. Throughout this time, my cpu was still working overtime, so I decided to power the computer off. Upon rebooting and much "whew"-ing I tried to plug my Cell Phone in again; as usual Hardware Growler notified me of the connection and it's details, however, confusingly finder had no knowledge of any mass storage connection. After multiple connects and reconnects, testing all USB ports on my MBP (and being annoyed by the system telling me to properly find and eject hardware before removing it, which I suppose I should take as a good sign) my memory card remained invisible to finder. Hardware growler continues to perfectly recognize the device connection.
    The most odd thing about this particular problem, is that other USB devices are recognized... at least one other Mass storage device is, but I have only one other device to test at the moment.... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Windows 7 64-bit not loading USB mass storage driver

    I have a rather strange problem with my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  Everything seems to work fine except for USB mass storage devices.  I have USB keyboard, mouse and even a USB audio (wireless headset) all working fine on the computer.  But
    any USB external drive, thumdrive or USB card reader with flash cards inserted into the USB port of my computer won't work.
    Windows keeps reporting that it is unable to find the driver.  When I go into the Device Manager console and choose to manually update the driver, then point it to the C:\Windows (with search for sub-directories enabled), it detects the USB Mass Storage
    driver but complains that it is unable to load it.  The exact message is this:  Windows found driver software for your device but encountered error while attempting to install it.  USB Mass Storage Device.  The system cannot find the file
    specified.
    This happens to ALL USB Mass storage device, and it doesn't matter which port I plug the device into.
    Here's the weird thing, I have VMware Workstation installed on this computer and if I power on a VM that runs Windows 7 32-bit as the Guest OS and connect the USB storage devices to the guest OS via VMware Workstation, the USB storage devices work!
    So it would appear that the USB ports are functioning properly but for some reasons, my Windows 64-bit is unable to load the driver.
    Any idea how to fix this besides a "nuke it from orbit" and format/reinstall Windows?
    Thanks.

    I'm very excited to finally have a solution for this problem. Thank You Balaji for figuring this out. I've been struggling with this for a number of years, and had only one USB Hard Drive that worked. I too have VMware workstation, and had the missing files
    in "c:\windows\inf." I can say with certainty that I did not delete the files from that folder, but something is common in both of our situations. Maybe it has to do with VMware, and some of it's updates over the years. I'm also using nCompute to share out
    a networked desktop via the wire. 
    One more thing worthy of mention is this machine was an update from Windows Vista, and the USB hard drive that worked was configured back than. So although I could never add another HD, at least I had the one.
    Now with having copied over the files, I can plugin other USB enclosures with different drives and they too are working.
    Like you mentioned, it was always possible to use USB devices within my Virtual Machines, so it was clear that the USB ports were functional. I actually got the files from a clean Windows 7 VM, copying out the \windows\inf folder and doing a compare between
    the the real one and the virtual one. I found the two missing files you mentioned, along with 8 others. I went ahead and included them all in your fix.
    It worked, Amazing. Thanks again. :O)

  • Can't enable USB Mass Storage

    I am trying to use recovery software (Recuva) to replace deleted photos. When connecting to my laptop, I can only choose Media Device (MTP) or Camera (PTP). Recuva cannot find my phone without USB Mass Storage enabled but that option seems to no longer exist? What can I do to enable this?

    You need to enable USB debugging on phone, so the computer can see it as a storage device.
    Go into Settings, then scroll down to the bottom and click on About Phone.
    Scroll down to the bottom to where it says “Build Number”.
    Tap on “Build number” 7 times. After the third tap, Android will start counting down on how many taps are left before you can access the developer options, with a playful “You are now [insert number of remaining taps] steps away from being a developer”.
    After the 7th tap, you’ll get a “You are now a developer!” message.
    Now, go back to the main settings screen, and voila, the “Developer options” menu will be visible at the bottom, just above “About phone”!
    Developer options->enable USB debugging

  • IPOD seen as two drives(USB Mass Storage & and Dell USB )

    My IPOD classic has not worked properly since I updated my OS to Windows XP. At first the IPOD was seen as two different USB controllers (Apple USB Driver, and a USB Mass Storage Device) I've gone through every troubleshooting article on the apple website. After downloading a hotfix, my computer recognizes the IPOD as an IPOD but it doesn't connect to itunes long enough for me to restore it. It automatically disconnects after being plugged into the computer. If anybody can help, please, please please let me know.
    Thanks.

    I just purchased an ipod classic 120GB and after downloading itunes to the computer I can no longer use my DVD/CD drive as the ipod is using that drive now, which is the E drive on my computer. I noticed that if I uninstall itunes I get to use my DVD/CD drive again. I do not know what next to try either. So my ipod is seen as a mass storage device, I need help too, can anyone help?

  • Access USB mass storage dev on Netra 20

    HI all,
    We just got a Netra20 server for our lab and noticed the USB support it provides. I plugged a 128 Mb USB JumpDrive but have been unable to access it. I found some docs in docs.sun.com related to the topic where it instructs to do an eject -n (to see the device-alias available) however all I see from the output is Floppy and CDROM aliases, no generic usb alias. Also tried killing and restarting "vold" but no use.
    Does anyone know what is the proper procedure to access it? BTW I am running Solaris 8. Is USB supported in Solaris 5.8?

    USB is supported in Solaris 8 / SunOS 5.8. This includes usb devices that implement the USB mass storage
    specification.
    You may want to install the latest USB Framework patch 109896-21, it fixes several issues with usb mass
    storage devices, and even adds USB 2.0 support.
    But: The "Lexar (?) JumpDrive" (and other Lexar Products) seems to be a problematic device. It seems
    this product does not work too well (or work at all) with Solaris' USB drivers:

  • Samsung A900 USB mass storage and Tiger

    I just got a Samsung A900 phone, when I connect with USB as mass storage device, the phone is mounted write protected in 10.4.3. In 10.3.9, it mounts as a writeable drive.

    Hi there. I just bought a Samsung A900 and figured out how to use the phone as a USB Mass storage device:
    My setup is a PowerBook G4 with 10.4.6 all updates (including the latest Security Updates and iLife '06 updates).
    1. Plug the USB cable into the phone, and your computer.
    2. The phone should say "USB Cable connected" on the main screen. If it doesn't, turn the phone off, and back on again with the cable plugged in.
    3. Press the Menu button
    4. Go to Tools
    5. Go to Mass Storage
    6. Select "Connect to PC."
    You will not be able to receive phone calls while the phone is in USB Mass Storage mode.
    A new volume should appear in the OS X Finder as "Untitled."
    You have access to the same folders as with a Bluetooth connection.
    Unfortunately, this also means that it is not a solution to get custom ring tones from an MP3 you own.
    I tried looking in Terminal for any hidden folders, and I can't find any. I honestly think a firmware update/hack is needed to enable this on the phone.
    Hope this helps.

  • PCI Communication Controller and USB Mass Storage Device driver was missing

    Hi:
    Did you install the USB3 controller driver so the device you installed could work?
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=21129&lang=eng&ProdId=3467
    The USB Mass Storage Device is something you have connected to the PC.
    Specifically a Sony® MicroVault USB Flash Drive.
    If my suggestion to let windows update find the Intel Management Engine driver, didn't work, see if this driver from Intel works.  It also has the hardware ID for that device in the setup information file.
