[ROM] The CM7 Gingerbread ROM (CM4D2-GB) is now ready for prime time!

Having a problem with USB connectivity. It's detecting my device but when I'm attempting to open the "Removable Disk" (SD-Card) I'm getting a "Please insert a disk into drive X". I just updated all of the Motorola Drivers but still can't gain access to my SD Card!! Help!! I'm on the 9/8/11 Nightly...

First try rebooting and reconnecting your phone. Then try rebooting your computer.
 
Could work, but why would anyone unroot? ;-)

Seriously, if I'm unrooting a device to return it to VZW for some reason (the only reason I would), I'd SBF it back to stock which un-roots and clears out anything and everything so my device is crystacl-clear clean. :)

I agree with.... On the other hand i read a lot of thread titles! Seems there are people who do in fact want to. That's all.

We were all n00bs at some point. I don't know about the rest of you, but I remember being a n00b on rooted stock thinking I was awesome cuz I was rooted.

That being said, from rooted stock it's much easier just to unroot than to sbf. (especially since I had no idea what sbf was, or how to do it at that point.)

I remember when I was fresh meat as well...just installing the Android SDK to get ADB access was an adventure. :)

We should have a test...you can't have the tools to root until you pass an SBF test - install RSD lite and drivers, download the SBF, connect your device and get to the point where your device is recognized by RSD Lite, you've selected the SBF file, and all you'd have to do is click Start. Then they'd get the root instructions/tools. ;-)
 
Finally, I know how to access Terminal Emulator commands for this ROM! I have been banging my head against the wall for the longest trying to figure this out. As soon as I saw this I immediatey accessed Terminal Emulator commands and overclocked my phone to 1.3 GHz. Oh, happy day!

Awesome! Your comment literally just made my day (especially after puking my guts out after lunch at work)! I'm happy that I could help! 8)

Thanks for the suggestion, but no luck. I'm not sure if it makes a difference but before, when i was on squidly, it would give me 4 options under the usb connection box...now i only get three. "Charge", "Memory Card Access", and "Portal & Tools". It's weird because my Mac OSX comp used to be able to detect it instantly and go from there...now it doesn't even mount anything. My PC will "Mount" the disk but then says that I need to insert a disk still.

Anything else I can try?

EDIT: Another piece of info, when I take it off of the computer "safely" the apps that are installed on my sd card aren't accessible again until a reboot of my phone.
 
Oddly enough, it seems that I'm getting the same if not better battery life by NOT running Juice Defender on this rom. Very odd indeed...

Edit: I have no idea why Drocap2 is not working with the photos. That looks terrible!

Yep i get better battery life not running juice defender vs running it on cm7.

I too noticed that screenshots taken with Drocap look terrible with this ROM. They look much better with CM7's built-in screenshot utility.

Sounds like something is certainly messed up...

Just off the top of my head:

1. Backup your current ROM and/or use TiBU/My Backup Root or similar to back up your apps. Then: A) Wipe cache/dalvik cache in CWR and reboot, see if that helps. (Probably won't, but it's a cheap and easy quick try.) Assuming that doesn't help... B) Wipe data/factory reset in CWR, see if that helps. (Since you have a backup, you can restore your ROM/apps if the "nuclear option" of wiping data/factory reset doesn't help.

2. Remove SD card, backup everything on it, format card, copy items back (this helped me when I had problems w/ROMs rebooting/boot looping on my D1)

My old android didn't even have an SBF or anything like RSD lite. Those tools are great. I still remember having soft-bricked my Ally, spending 3 hours in an IRC channel getting SDK and ADB going, force loading Amon-Ra recovery, so that I could restore a stock NAND to get my phone working again. SBF is cakewalk compared top that mess!

Thanks for the quick reply but I wanted to ask before I proceed. When I was doing a backup from ROM Manager it gave a message near the end that said "sd-ext was not found" so it didn't do a backup of sd-ext. What could be causing it to not even find my SD Card when it's trying to make a Backup?!?!

That's normal, you don't have to worry about that...

^^^IDIOT!!!^^^^ I'm a moron...I had someone forgotten to turn USB Debugging on. Problem solved, I could have SWORN it was turned on earlier!!

Thanks for all the help otherwise!
