(Help) My Android TV Box has got problems after I unmounted my USB Drive through ES Explorer. - Android TV General

After unmounting, all the device storage folders vanished. I tried restarting but it got stuck so I plugged out the power cable. I plugged it back in and I was able to see them again BUT my USB Drive was being detected as a memory card in FX File Manager. Even Xplore and Solid show it with the SD card symbol. FX shows a USB option, but when I click on I get this error (

When I plug the drive in, I get a message saying "SanDisk Cruzer Blade safely ejected" and then in a few seconds later, the drive shows up like it would normally do. I did a complete FAT32 format of my USB Drive but still no change. I even used a different USB port. Nothing worked.
I have a Mi Box S/4K which doesn't have any problem with the same operations so I am sure there is some problem with my TV Box.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Try installing ES File explorer. Then plug the drive in and see if it shows as a USB.
Then try use it through it.Uninstall then restart the box.
If that dosent work.
Restart to recovery through adb or the button combination for your box.
Clear cache and reboot. See if it works without issues after that.

I tried both, but it didn't work.

It would suck but you could reset the box to factory and reformat the drive. But you would lose everything.

I am sorry, I should have updated this post. I managed to fix the problem by a method I found on the Shield forums (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforc...no-only-shows-as-safely-ejected-cann/2217355/). But I have ran into a similar problem again.
I installed Aiden's ROM. After opening my USB Drive through the file manager pre installed on the ROM, the USB drive started to be recognized as a media card. I cleared defaults and data and it seemed to fix the problem but when I installed the original firmware of the box, the box can't write to the USB drive anymore. Same with my external hard drive.

I would try and reinstall the factory firmware.

Problem: sd card doesn't mounted

Since from the first use of device I'm not be able to access contents of sd card from pc. I have installed the latest version of htc sync available in htc' s site.
When I check the option disk drive from USB to Pc, I can see the new removable disk in file explorer, but I cannot access to this disk.
I always get the error: insert a disk to the drive M (translated to english cause my pc have greek locale).
Have anyone else this issue?
Have you tried to read the SD with an external reader?
I'm also had this problem.
I did simply repair the HTC Sync.
Restart the pc.
And then connected worked.
Some how the problem solved. I tried a lot connect disconnect, close and open htc sync, and suddently I get access to my sd card. I didn't do something different from the other tries, but this time works. First time after a lot of tries and reboots the last couple of days.
Connecting as Disk Drive is not accepted easily. I think it is always required to activate USB debugging mode first. So, simple way is first choose HTC sync mode on the phone, after it get connected change to Disk Drive mode. It works..
Thanks for the tips.
Sometimes don't work though. Needed to connect/disconnect several times to work properly. Sometimes when I connect the cable, the popup window doesn't appear(I have checked the asking option) and sync doesn't work too. And after some tries when connect the cable the popup appears and work both sync or disk option.
faulty cable perhaps?
I'm still using the charger and USB cable from my i-Mate K-Jam - works like a charm!

PC Does Not Recognize My Device

Hi,
I have a strange problem when I try to connect my device to the PC.
After I installed Kies for the first time, the PC recognized my device one time. After I had removed the USB connection, when I try to reconnect the device, the PC did not recognize it.
I tried to reinstall Kies, install drivers without the Kies, I rebooted my PC everytime - nothing worked, it still did not recognized.
The only thing that work is a System Restore which I did on my PC (for before I installed Kies for the first time), but then I got the same problem - for the first time I connected my device after the Kies installation, the PC recognized my device, but after I unplugged and reconncted the USB cabel, the PC did not recognize my device, again.
Meanwhile, my System Checkpoints on my PC where deleted (I guess because of the System Restore), so now I can not go back to square one again.
I tried to find identical problem in the forum, but I did not find one.
My operating system on my PC is Windows XP, 32bit (I do not have access to another operating system, surely not on a daily basis. If it is necessary, I will try to find a computer with another operating system).
The Kies version which I installed is 1.5.3, the most updated as of 31/10/2010, downloaded from the official Samsung website.
I do NOT use LauncherPro, or any other launchers for that matter (I only installed a few popular games, from the market, on my device).
Thank you!
Yuval.
Try removing any media which might be there on your internal sd card. If that doesn't work then try and format the internal sd card. Certain apps like winamp too prevent the phone from connecting to the pc. It sure did work for me. Hope it does for you too.

I did transfer some .mp3 and .wma files from my PC to my "media" folder in my device through Kies in my first (and successful) connection.
However, deleting them (+ reinstallation of Kies + rebooting of both my PC and my device) did not help, and my PC still does not recognize my phone.
How do I format my internal SD card?
Thanks!
if you have any other devices like printers, external hdds, etc connected, remove them and connect your phone.
Go to settings, sd card and phone storage, internal sd card. Unmount internal sd card and then format.

The only devices that are connected to my PC are the screen, mouse and keyboard. Should I remove and reconnect them?
Do you get the usb connection sounds when you connect and disconnect your phone to/from the pc?
It is all OK now .
The problem was two bad USB ports. It took my some time to cosider the posibility that both of them do not work well. Using a third USB port fixed the problem.
For all of you - if the phone uploads the "Kies" screen (the blue one) when connencted, it is probably the USB port or the USB cabel to blame.

[Q] Cannot copy files from PC to Internal or Removable memory

I was previously able to copy files from my pc through USB to the transformer to both the removable and internal memory; however, this week I get a "Cannot copy file; device has stopped responding or is disconnected". I can still browse the files that are there and even delete them, but I cannot copy to either memory area.
I see in XDA and google searched that this error is usually fixed by formatting the drive, but with internal storage?? I dont want to wipe the memory, but I would like to transfer files this way.
I can connect external hard drive through the keyboard dock and transfer files. just not through the provided cable and the PC. I have uninstalled the drivers and rebooted the pc and reinstalled with no luck.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Bump. No ideas?
Btw. I have updated to 3.1 but I had this problem on 3.0
No one else had things problem?
Could it be the cheap ass cable??

if i had to guess, i'd just say the cable is bad, or you need to remove and reinstall MTP drivers.
I also have this problem, tried restarting the pad, doesn't work....
If anyone knows how to fix this it'll be greatly appreciated!
Most likely a windows driver issue, try connecting it to a different PC (to narrow down the problem: if it works on a different PC, then we know its a driver issue, if it doesn't then we know the problem is with the Tablet or the cable).

OTG USB. Reads fine, however folder contents shows empty.

Using my OTG cable, along with StickMount, I've been able to view files on my USB stick. However, after formatting (exFAT) my USB device, and trying to view files off it once again (using ES file explorer), the folder for the USB Storage now shows up empty. Even when files are present on the USB stick.
I have tried different files on the device, to see if my Nexus 7 will read, but to no avail, it just shows an empty folder.
Anyone got any ideas?

so I probably won't be able to help, but just out of curiosity, does StickMount launch when you plug in your usb stick?

It does, yes
Got it fixed!
When formatting my USB drive through windows I only had exFAT & NTFS file system options. What I did was download "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool - v2.1.8" - and it gave me the option to use FAT32.
Problem solved, USB device seems to be working now.

Unable to connect via OTG

I've tried a couple of different micro usb OTG cables (from my Note 4) with the usb-c adapter I use with one of my chargers but I can't connect. The menu comes up asking what I want to do with the USB, I've tried MTP once or setting it as always but still nothing. With an NTFS pendrive it came up that the drive was faulty and I needed to reformat, so I figured, ok, it's not gonna work with the drive formatted in that way. But I then tried the micro sd card that was formerly in my V20 and is still formatted to FAT32 and all that happens is it connects and then ejects the drive. When I look on ES File Explorer, a drive shows up but I can't access it. The usb message continually comes up, moments after whatever I select.
I've tried reading up on this issue and the first thing people suggest is to change the otg cable (or go for a dedicated usb-c) but I've rarely seen that as a solution for this issue.
My H910 is fully stock, no root and running nougat.
