After the root procedure I don't seem to have any ability to use USB Mass storage.
Windows reports it as an empty drive, linux will show the device as connecting and assigns it a /dev/sdx device, but when you attempt to mount or fdisk, it reports no medium.
Any one else having similar issues?
I could always try a reset to factory defaults after unrooting, but I really don't see what rooting could have done.
I used the manual method and had to run zerg several times, however beyond that no other files where modified.
I've already reverted /data/local.prop to stock, no help.
Any one have any other insights?
I had to uninstall motohelper to get USB mass storage working.

When you take a picture, does it save to your sdcard? Sounds completely unrelated huh? Well, this phone seems to have an issue with the sdcard randomly becoming read only. I have had that issue multiple times now and usually it's solved by restarting the phone. Well, I seen your issue today and didn't remember if I had tried to use it as mass storage since rooting it so I tried....no luck. Took a pic, it looked like it saved, didn't get any error, but could not find the pic in my gallery. Then I tried to take a screenshot and got the read only error. So I just took my sdcard out and made a copy of it to my pc, put it back in and rebooted my phone, it's all good now, imagine that. Needless to say, i'm backing up all my apps right now before doing anything else. Then gonna backup my contacts too.
motohelper... Sounds like a stock app...
did you just rm the apk?

No.motohelper was a bs program that got installed to my PC when I downloaded and installed the driver pack from Motorola. Until
I uninstalled it I couldn't get USB mass storage to work.phone portal would,but not storage.

I had to reinstall all the drivers through motohelper to get it to work as well =/
No problems now though~
I was able to get my sdcard recognized again but still could not use it as mass storage device, never had a problem with this before root. Did factory reset and all is well.
There is no possible way root caused the issue at all. It stopped working for me once I installed moto drivers, but shows the device with mass storage under it in usb portal mode.

Well then it's one hell of a coincidence! Before root, w/motodrivers, worked fine, after root w/motodrivers, didn't work, after unrooting, w/motordrivers, works again.
Same thing happened with my phone. Actually now returned because of all the issues I kept having hardware wise and wound up going and getting the HTC Vivid. So if any of yall switch I will see you when a Forum is made for this device.

I have until the 24th of this month to decide if I want to keep this phone or not. I unrooted yesterday, will see how it goes this week. I'm not trying to pay big money for a phone right now so we'll see how it plays out.
OK I give up. The problem is intermittent. I'm going to do a log cat next time cause I'm getting about irritated. SOme times it works fine some times not. I've not unrooted or changed anything since the initial problem.
The only thing I can possibly thing is that some of the commands installed by busybox is screwing up the works.
Short of that nothing REALLY changes that could affect the operation of the phone.
What doesn't bare that idea out however is the fact that it EVER works.
**STUMPED**
It does the exact same thing on a completely unmodified phone. Therefore, it's nothing you did to it that's cause the problem.
I have the same thing on mine but it was something with the format of the card.
I flipped it to windows media sync mode then backed up the card and after the backup I unmounted the card and let the atrix format it.
I had the card in a atrix 1 before I put it in the atrix 2 so I do not know if this is the case or not.
This has now been working with out a problem for 4 days now
Same thing happened to my phone, I never rooted it.
Confirmed user error.

Thank you seraphielx! Shortly before finding this thead, I'd noticed that I had a rather large number of files in the LOST.DIR on my SDcard. Which coincided with the seemingly random disappearance of some of the apps I'd moved there. And when I pulled the SDcard to back it up on my PC, there were nearly 600mb worth of files in the LOST.DIR. Most of which were photos, plus (I think) some apps. Thank God I make regular backups!
I believe the problem, at least in my case, has to do with the fact that I could pull the SDcard without first pulling the battery; which I did when I swapped the stock 2gb card for my 32gb card right after I bought the phone. Thus corrupting many files, and probably the file system on the card as well.
After backing up what remained of my storage files, I tried to format the SDcard in the Atrix2, but It wouldn't let me select the option to format, and neither could I unmount the SDcard. So I powered down the phone, pulled the card and formatted it from my PC. Poped it back in the phone, powered up, and was then able to format it with the Atrix2. Since then I've had no issues with accessing usb mass storage, nor with disappearing apps and photos.
Thanx again for the assistance!
For me sometimes it takes a few minutes before I can access sdcard from PC.
Usually it works instantly after phone reboot while not plugged in pc, then it takes ages...

Update: OK, I can't unmount my SDcard, again. Which, of course, means I can't access usb mass storage anymore. The only I've changes made since my last post were to install some apps and change some status bar icons via Rom Toolbox, and I can't believe that has anything with the issue.
If I do a factory reset, will I need to root again?
If you have any apps installed on your SD card you will continue to have problems.

I've had trouble connecting this SGS4G to my PC.
I got it used, the previous owner fomated the SD card.
Is there any files comes with the stock SD card that affects the connection?
I tried hard and soft reset, still the PC said can't recognize it.
I even hand pick the USB driver in update driver option.
It says "Device cannot start (code 10)" something like that
Any advise will be appreicated!
Look for drivers only maybe different bit than your pc
Try just the sd.card in your.computer

+2 I had this issue before.
Thankyou for all the answers, I've used 3 different drivers, 1 from Kies, 1 from that Noob root guide, and one from somewhere i forgot.
I also used 3 different micro usb cable, HTC, MOTO, and samsung.
I went to Tmobile, plug in one of their sgs4g in my laptop, works perfectly, so not my laptop and not my cable.
Then i tested, my phone is not rooted yet with root checker, when I install superuser, it gave me an error msg saying that su binary file has a problem, It disappear before i write it down. and it said it copied that su binary on my sd card and tell me to reboot into recovery mode and install it.
I dont know how, and i guess that means a hard reset? I used that vol up+down and power buttom.Then I clicked reinstall packages, big discovery!
I found out that "E;/fail to open.mnt/internal_d/update.zip(No such file or direstory)
Man.... somehow that update.zip isn't there!!!
Anyone could point me to a place to download it? or simple upload me or send one to me email [email protected]
Again thank you for all the comments!

Have you installed the driver's from Samsung yet?
Additionally, when you plug the USB cord in, what happens on your phone? Do icon's show up, up top? Nothing happens?
Have you tried to go into Settings>Applications>Development and made sure USB Debugging is on?
Now if you have tried a standard SGS4G from the TMO Store on your laptop and it worked, you might have gotten a bad deal buying that one used. Something might be jacked up on it.
Additionally, if it's unmodified which it sounds like it is,
Just go to Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset.
That will put you back to the original state.

No icon show up.
Something is missing from the phone, i did the factory reset both soft and reinstall package in Recovery/ delete all user data, still no help.
When i use root checker, it tells me there is no su binary in system/bin
Superuser created one for me to the SD card, but es file explorer wont copy it into system/bin for me, and in recovery mode, it just say no update.zip exist in internal SD

I'm not sure what would have been deleted off the phone to prevent the USB from working on your computer. Either way, you're kinda out of luck if it won't even connect to the computer.
Only other solution would be to download the stock ROM in the form of update.zip from your phones web browser, save to SD, then reboot into recovery and choose the second option.
The reason why update.zip is missing is because you haven't put it on your SD card. You typically download any zipped ROM, rename it to update.zip and then put it in the root of your SD.
Since you can't connect to the computer you'd have to download from a browser.

Very usefull Info!!
I'm downloading that Stock DEODEXED KC1 now. But it's in Mc5
So, i just zip it right?
Luckily I could still take the sd card out and use a card reader to load stuff on it.
Mainly i want the connection to the pc for rooting.
Moreover, the Root checker says i already have Busybox installed, does it mean, the previous owner might have tried to or did rooted, but unroot it ?
That one doesnt work, so I tried another one which it states its completely stock (T959VUVKC1-REV00-ALL-low-CL933594.tar)
But still both turns out "E: signature verification failed"
any idea?
I'm having problems guys
I don't know if I succesfully rooted my phone as when I ran ./root.sh through the linux debian terminal, I received multiple errors saying deivce offline
This also happened when I did Linux/adb reboot "Device offline"
I am now having the problem that my internal sdcard appears to be unusable as my phone keeps saying that is full though it must have over half of the 13gb free
I can access it through mass storage but I can't download/install anything as I apparently have no space
I have not had this problem before, if anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
adb can be weird. it doesn't get covered much on xda but you have to make a file called 70android.rules or something to that effect, I can give better details some other time, right now I can't remember the location or exactly what goes in it besides the samsung vendor id but it basically allows adb to see the phone.
if you have that setup then maybe there is another problem. not sure what issue you have with the sdcard but does it work from the phone and not through a data cable? vise versa? not working at all?
When I go through Settings-SD Card storage my SD card (internal) says that it is full though it's not!
Perhaps I don't understand what the "wipe data/factory reset" does on your phone through red recovery
p.s. If gou actually are running 3e would it say 3e recovery?
I can't install appa as my sd card is entirely full
I had unlocked my phone before through the same comp, I don't know why I am having problems.
Every time I root this phone I do something different everytime (I forget what I did last time)
Others have suggested doing an odin? This phone is a refurb it has many errors aside from freezing then vibrating- force closs
It is slow, sometimes when it freezes the icons (four main on home that you can't movebon stock rom) rotate an entire 90 degrees it's weird as hell
I wish I never sent my Infuse in b/c of the cracked screen I should have just gotten the screen fixed
Thanks for your response
try a factory rest through settings>privacy, then if that doesn't help do an Odin flash back to stock with repartition.
it seems rare on American devices but a lot of galaxy s devices have had trouble with the internal SD card going corrupt. in some cases its fixable but I'm not really sure if that's what's going on here.
Ok so I did reset through settings-privacy that did the trick
Now to start all over again...
I seem to be having a hard time finding the backed up files on Titanium...
oh [email protected] my bad....
I forgot to mention that the privacy reset formats the sdcard. part of why its often successful is that it'll fix certain issues with the SD card and it wipes app data saved to /sdcard/data/
titanium backup keeps the backups on the sdcard...

Hi.
I have just flashed Zeus 6 today all the way from stock. Everything was going great.
After this, I decided to enable lagfix by going to CWM and enabling it from there. After it booted, though, ALL MY SDCARD APPS ARE MISSING. Applications such as Superuser and Android Market. So I then disabled lagfix and it still wasn't working. I can't even use Root Explorer as I don't have Superuser.
I can see the blank icons of the applications that are missing in my apparently drawer, but when I click them, it says "Application is not installed on your phone."
SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!
Sounds like you need to edit your vold.fstab file. Have you checked to see if the sdcard is actually mounted?
Search vold.fstab, you'll find the answer.
Where can I get the vold.fstab file from?
And what do I need to do with it? I can't seem to find anything?
Also, it was working fine when I reflashed Zeus 6. After a while, though, I rebooted my phone after installing all the apps I needed to install. After that, it went back to the problem again.
I am really getting pissed right now with my phone.
[Update] I found a vold.fstab but what do I do with it? And is it 100% sure that this problem came from the unsuccessful mounting of internal SD card? I'm really really ticked off at the moment. I'm sorry.
If you do a search for vold.fstab you'll find what needs to be edited.
I just copied the vold.fstab to the /etc folder and the problem still persists.
Is there any other cause that would've ****ed my phone up?
Also, from my understanding, the vold/fstab fixes external SD card problems and not internal. I don't know, though.
I am really desperate at the moment.
[Edit] ****. After doing the vold.fstab replacement, my external SD card won't even get detected anymore.
The issue that you describe isn't related to the vold.fstab fix. You're correct that making the mmc1 edit is only necessary if you can't see your external sd after making a kernel swap.
When you go to settings / sd card and phone storage, what do you see? Is your 13.03 partition visible? What else is visible?
Edit: And yeah, if you changed the vold.fstab like the others suggested, you need to change the mmc1 in the last line back to mmc2.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk 2
Yes. When I look at my USB storage, it says 13.03 total space. I realized that whenever I clear the data and/or reflash, I lose the problem.
But as soon as I start installing stuff, that's when it gets ****ed. I reboot and *boom* all my SD card apps are all just blank icons that when clicked, gives you the error "Application is not installed on your phone"
PS Can someone give me the very default vold.fstab file? This new one ****ed my memory card up and I don't know how to change the mmc1 to mmc2 as I literally just copied and pasted the file into the /etc directory.

You can edit the vold.fstab file by using a program like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer. Using the program, mount the /system/etc directory as read/write. Then, use the built in text editor to change the last line. In this case, for your setup, the last line is supposed to end with mmc2.
To fix your initial problem.: Go ahead and first fix your newly created vold.fstab problem. Then, in Settings / SD card and phone storage, choose format usb storage for the 13.03 gb partition. Let it format, and then go to Settings / Privacy / Factory data reset. Choose "Reset phone".
You'll have to reinstall your apps. Let us know if things are back to normal after doing this. If this doesn't get it, I have another step for you to try.
I have fixed the external SD Card issue. Thanks so much!
I just did the Data reset and currently reinstalling apps and report what happens.
I will keep you posted
Okay so I just reinstalled everything and rebooted and it was all perfect.
This happened to me a while ago while I rebooted like twice and then the problem came back.
I will post here ASAP if it comes back again, but so far it's looking good.
In any case, I am just really curious (if your method actually worked). What would have been wrong before that caused the problems? Also, I did wipes in CWM before and the problem was gone as well, but when I installed apps and rebooted, the problem went back again. So what is the difference between restoring from Settings>Privacy as opposed to the Data wipe on CWM?
I love you, man. *no homo*

Now, hold the bus. If you see and can use your apps, then it worked. What do you mean, "if your method actually worked"?
Also, I hope that after you reboot, that you are giving your phone time to scan the sd cards. Within the first few minutes after the phone boots, apps on the sd card won't be available.

There is no telling, man. No telling at all. Something was screwed up, though, most likely by something you did on your phone.

Factory reset just wipes user data / installed programs and puts you back to default. Did you also format the 13.03 gb partition like I recommended?
Try to steer clear of any mods for a few days, until you're sure that it's fixed. And stay away from those porn sites.
I have done everything you have said on the dot. It's working fine at the moment and I've been trying to reboot every once in a while to see if it is set.
Also, the problem started when I tried to enable Voodoo lagfix and that was when it started acting up. Next time I restored, it was when I tried using Voltage Control. I really don't know what the problem was. It is a ***** for sure, though.
I also made /mnt/sdcard/Applications and /mnt/sdcard/Android/Applications. I don't know if these would've made an effect, but it's working fine at the moment.
Lastly, I knew Jizzhut was ****ed

I just found I have an issue copying files from my PC to my SGS3. The error I get is " Device stopped responding or is disconnected" (on my pc). It worked days ago, and it worked on the current ROM I'm using. I can't think of anything else I could have done to mess it up. This happens when trying to copy anything to the Ext card or internal storage. Here's the kicker: now I can copy small files, but big zip files are a no go. Before I couldn't copy anything. All I did was reboot phone and PC, and looked into phone with Root Explorer, no changes.
I can copy files FROM the phone to PC but not to the phone from PC. How could this change literally overnight?? I did find a way to add Google Wallet to the phone. Could that have possibly been it?? Flashing a new ROM right now, gonna see if it helps.
New ROM didn't help. Still same issue.
*Update* Next day, I tried once again just for fun. And now it works fine! I did nothing to correct it. I did however reflash the ROM that the problem first arose. But I still don't get how that's even related to the ext sdcard. And how did it fix itself??? Would still like to know why it happened!

I had this EXACT same problem a few weeks ago. I'm not saying this is the case for you, but I found out that when I tried to batch transfer certain files, one of the files was corrupt. I eliminated whatever the culprit file was and was able to transfer. The strange thing is, it only happened when I tried transferring from internal to external as well, as if something in the transfer corrupted one of my files. So I started transferring files one by one, and the problem seems to be temporarily eliminated. Check to see if the zip file became corrupted in some way. Hope this helps.

I can transfer from ext to internal. I just can't transfer anything larger than a few MB. The zip files I'm trying are ROM zips so they are very large. Can't find anyone with this exact issue.

No problem at all. Do you think it's possible that the format you formatted the sdcard in may possibly be causing the issue? I've heard cases that incorrect formatting can block file transfers if over so many MBs, GBs, etc.

I had this exact problem as well. After a lot of trial and error, I gave up on the native MTP file transfer method, and went with ADB instead.
I use a very nicely done GUI on top of ADB to do all my file transferring called QtADB. Just install the Android SDK first, and then the GUI.

I'm going to try and find the adapter that came with the micro card. I've read where some people having this issue have to use the adapter to plug into the PC directly to copy files. What I don't get is how it just happened all of a sudden. It was working just a few days ago, I loaded a bunch of music no problem as well as ROMs to flash. Very weird. It has to be a setting somewhere lol.

No problem at all. Do you think it's possible that the format you formatted the sdcard in may possibly be causing the issue? I've heard cases that incorrect formatting can block file transfers if over so many MBs, GBs, etc.

Just for grins, I hooked my phone up again to see by chance if it would work. Guess what? It works WTF?????? That's the craziest thing. I am back on the original ROM I had installed when the problem arose. But I just don't see how that's possible. UGGGGHHH

now that's crazy, lol. glad to hear it's working
First post, sorry if this isn't the correct place to start the thread
Alright so I'm running resurrection remix 6.1.0 rom on my rooted oneplus 3T (android version 8.1.0)
The other day, I was trying to input a usb otg into my phone but it would not recognise. Searched all over the settings but there were no options for the usb otg (didnt seem like RRemix supported it)
Now what I did next was kinda stupid on my part, so after searching over the internet and various forums, I tried two approaches
First one was to go to the terminal, entered 'su' to get root access and entered 'sm set-force-adoptable true'
Now I'll admit that I didn't know what this command was at that time, but it still didn't make my phone recognise the otg usb
Next I installed the StickMount app from playstore, mounted the mass storage, but again didnt make my phone recognise the otg usb
But then the problems started to arise, and note that I had enough internal storage (60%)
First I couldnt update some apps (says not enough storage while 11% through download)
Couldnt take pictures nor screenshots (again says no storage)
Also couldnt delete any files Ive downloaded through the default file app ( but can delete any apps)
However I could still download new apps or new files from the internet
So I'm guessing I stuffed up the SD card/ internal storage systems. I was thinking of flashing the RR rom again and starting the phone fresh but that would be a waste of time as I have to set up everything again
I have also tried the command 'sm set-force-adoptable false' but no success
So I'm wondering, are there any ways of undoing whatever I just did, without having to wipe everything and restart??
Thank you so much for any replies, I'll make sure to know what I'm doing in the future before I follow instructions on the net haha
also just curious, but would greatly appreciate if someone could tell me what I just did, searched over the internet but couldnt find a precise answer. My phone also does not have an external SD card
What you did was tell the device to use an external storage device as part of the Interminal storage.
You will have to start over from scratch. Make sure to back everything up.
What you want to do is part of their closed sources rom. I have never had a single aosp based roms with otg.
