[Q] "Internal Phone Storage is Unmounted"

[Notacop]

I have a rooted Atrix 4G and I am having a very weird problem with it.

If I go into Settings->SD Card & Phone Storage while no USB is connected it shows the following:

[B][SIZE="2"]Internal Phone Storage (media area)[/SIZE][/B]
[B]Total Space[/B] - 10.71GB
[B]Available Space[/B] - 10.60GB
[B]Unmount Internal Phone Storage[/B] (selectable option)
[B]Format Internal Phone Storage[/B] (grayed out/unselectable)

Makes sense... all is good right? Until I plug in USB (debugging mode selected, USB mass storage for connection type). The Notification bar shows:

[B][SIZE="4"]Ongoing[/SIZE]
USB debugging connected[/B]
Select to disable USB debugging
[B]USB connection[/B]
Select to manage your USB connection
[B][SIZE="4"]Notifications[/SIZE]
Internal phone storage is unmounted[/B]
Internal phone storage is unmounted

Going into Settings->SD Card & Phone Storage now shows:

Internal Phone Storage (media area)
Total Space - Unavailable
Available Space - Unavailable
Unmount Internal Phone Storage (grayed out/unselectable)
Format Internal Phone Storage (grayed out/unselectable)

What is going on, and how can I get it to mount the internal storage while connected with USB debugging?

Instead of "USB Mass Storage", "Motorola Phone Portal", or "Windows Media Sync" choose "None".

Internal Phone Storage is Unmounted - Motorola Atrix

Having the same problem. Seems like when you power off and reboot the phone, while still connected through the USB port, the problem goes away, but I am not really sure. Help would be appreciated.

Pull down notification bar > select USB connection > Select None

The best way to fix it is too... first all the apps from the internal storage... the once that you cannot uninstall move the app and then uninstall and use the format option.. it will def. do it... i had the same problem but in the end it worked.
