I'm having a problem connecting my device to a computer as Mass Storage. It was working fine for a while until it got unintentionally unplugged while I was connected via ADB as root. The device will connect fine as a Media Device (MTP), but when Mass Storage is selected the drive letter comes up but is greyed out (how it looks when you have a corrupted usb key). Prior to the problem you would get the internal sdcard partition. I'm also having a problem with Samba Fileshareing bombing out temporarily before enabling wifi sharing, but if I click "wait" on error screen Samba finally starts sharing. None of this behavior was present while the mass storage was connecting properly.

I have no external SD Card installed, I'm rooted, I've applied the 6MB OTA update and have all the latest moto drivers on my computer.

I tried fixing this problem by first doing a factory reset (no luck) then I fastbooted back to the stock image and reapplied everything. None of that fixed the issue.

I think the device is having a hard time unmounting the internal sd card partition? I'm not sure what's going on and I've searched to the end of Google. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Have you tried clearing the temp files etc on your PC?.... either windows "disk cleanup" or your favorite cleanup utility e.g. Norton, webroot, system mechanic, etc...... just like clearing the cache and dalvik cache on your phone.... the temp files etc on your computer may hold the "key" to the PC not recognizing the sdcard.... its worth giving a try :)

Also... if you have a sdcard slot on your pc, put your sdcard in and see if it reads it...... if not, then you have corrupted your sdcard and it will need to be either reformatted or worst case scenario replaced
