Help [Support] Mounting EVO to computer. Should it show 2 volumes?

dougrb · Nov 13, 2010

Wasn't sure if this should be in the troubleshooting section, since there might not be anything wrong. When I mount my EVO, all I see is my 8 gig micro SD card and no other volume. I was assuming that if I wanted to root, I'd need to actually see the EVO its self and not just the SD card.

Thoughts ?

Nope all you'll see is the sd card.

No, it does not mount the internal memory and you don't need to, in order to root.

Ok, cool. Thanks guys. I was told by another Android user (whom I think owns an Dinc) that his mounts two drives, so just wanted to clarify.

Weird considering that's the evos sister phone...

Maybe he has it partitioned?

I don't think the Incredible does, but some devices do, because they have a lot of internal storage for media like videos, etc.

Maybe I'm wrong and thought it was because of something I read quickly in passing over his IM's. Guess it doesn't matter at this point though. Thanks again!

Doug

Edit: No, reading over his message to me, I see that he does in fact have an Incredible.

Well, with mine I see two mounted disk. One for internal and one for the micro sd card. Do you have an Sd card in it? I'm not sure if it is this way with every phone though.

I can't deal with stock batteries in any Android phone I've had. I have the Droid incredible now and it's horrible unless I have the extended battery.

The Dinc has 8GB of internal storage. That, wimax, the screen/size and carrier installed crapware are about the only differences between it and the Evo.

Yeah our bigger phone got the shaft with less internal memory. :mad:
