[Q] Solution to get files off since USB Storage doesn't work

Does anyone have one? I couldn't adb files or connect it like a usb device after ICS update.

1. you can directly download files through the phone and flash
2. downgrade phone to gingerbread using an odin image

So what do you mean directly download through the phone? you talking about adb? I tried that and it didnt work

Install airdroid....

sorry, I did not understand your problem
I was thinking you want to reflash your NS.
anyway. to get files, I suggest to use Dropbox app for exemple, upload files from phone and download them to pc later

did you try accessing the usb while your in recovery? you can enable usb storage that way. also, you can try the dual mount sd app.

have you tried removing them with a file explorer like astro or file expert?

Are you able to mount USB storage though CWM?

why not just use dropbox??

[Q] Why is USB mass storage gone?

Hi,
I'm on nk111's newest CM10 build and since a few days my DS does not provide this "activate mass storage" dialogue if I connect it with my PC via USB. Am I missing a setting or how can this happen?

I'm using the same rom and I've meet the problem as well. In my case, it seems related to my operating system, it failed to detect the usb plugged in. It's works well after a reboot.

Hm, tried it on a Windows and a OS X machine, both not working. I also rebooted the 2 PCs and the phone, but the problem still exists.

Flash rom again using this method using EXT4 recovery

[Q] Help me figure out what's wrong

Problem
So i was running a slim rom and suddenly my device started rebooting constantly.
What i Tried
Wiping everything (System/Data/Cache/SDCard) booting into recovery and put jellyshot rom zipfiles on the sd card.
What happens now
When i unmount USB and try to flash the new rom, the files (jellyshot rom) aren't on the sdcard. When i mount USB again they also aren't on the card.
I have repeated this constantly and can't make any sense of it.
Is my device "bricked" ?
Thanks in advance.

Basicly whenever i MOUNT USB, delete and add files, the next time i MOUNT USB, the files are back in their original state. Known behaviour?

This is definitely not known behavior. To me it looks like you are getting write permission on the drive once you mount. So it looks to you as if file are getting deleted or files are getting added. But once you unmount/mount again, the changes are not done. It could be a problem with the recovery that you are using. May be try to flash a different recovery in fastboot mode.
Don't you have any other ROM on SD card to flash & boot. If you can boot in to the ROM, then may be you can see if you are able to correctly use SD card and copy a new ROM before you start wiping.

try format your sd from pc

I am able to boot into the rom (with constant errors popping up) and turn on/off usb storage but the effect is the same.
Mount ->Change files ->Unmount -> Mount -> Nothing has changed

Tried that to no effect.
Mount -> Format -> Unmount -> Mount -> All the files are there again...

No Mobile Network or USB Connection!!!
Hey I am pretty new to rooting but I have a major problem. I recently rooted my Samsung Nexus 4G, flashed clock work mod recovery and installed a version of Jelly Bean I found in on some website. But my problem is that I began to have problems with the version of Jelly Bean I download so I tried to flash back to stock but something went horribly wrong. Now my phone does not have mobile network and when I connect it to a computer, the computer will not recognize it. Bluetooth, WiFi and SD Card still works but I cannot find a way to get my Mobile Network to come back. Please Help!!

I'll install SDK, Odin, put the phone in download mode and flash a factory image. Just saying

Hey! I had a similar problem with my i9023. I couldn't Access my files through the PC after flashing slim beam. I downloaded JellyShot and marmite kernel with my device, without using PC. Then i found those files in sdcard/download, flashed with no problems. Everything seemes to be ok now.

I CAN boot into cmw fine, I just cant flash ANYTHING! Always error 7
I have 3 different USB cables. and I know 100% all of them work for my infuse. It just wont recognize my device in any way and with any drivers installed.

Got it fixed thanks to Zens aroma toolkit

Could you please share how you got it fixed with this awesome toolkit? I'm kind of in a similar boat. I have Aeon 1.4 running great and I can download and flash roms OK but I can't get the darn thing to show up on ANY pc running Windows or Linux. Windows sees it as an "unknown usb device." I have tried everything from reinstalling kies and even Windows. It doesn't do anything in Linux anymore. Another strange thing is when I plug in the wall charger, the phone asks me to choose kies, media player, or mass storage. Weird. This all happened out of nowhere.
Thanks for reading this.

Downloaded the toolkit onto external micro SD plugged into my computer with a micro SD to SD card adapter. Then put the micro SD into my phone, booted into cwm. Followed by copying the toolkit to my internal phone memory with for explorer on touch cwm. Then started aroma toolkit, and used that to flash a kernal. It gives you several options for flashing in the toolkit.

Another thing, I work for a heating/plumbing company. And my work is dirty. I think a rock found its way into the charging port thing. I used a needle (while powered off) to clean out the areas around the little charge thing. After that it charged fine. Not sure if your having the same problem. But I had two. One was phone in bootloop other was not charging and mounting to PC. Good luck

Use OnePlus One as USB mass storage device?

How can I use my OnePlus One as USB mass storage device? I dislike MTP.

I do like this-
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Connect to PC
3. Enter recovery mode
Now drivers will load automatically and you can exchange data in Mass Storage Mode.

Really? It will be detected as a USB drive??? Is this with a particular recovery or will TWRP do it? I'd like to add a partition to my phone that will contain a bootable Linux distribution so that I can use my phone as a rescue disk. Would this be possible?

Hi. I am using latest TWRP recovery and Oneplus is responding well invariably.
I have not tried adding partitions and also dont know much about it.
Goodluck if u r planning to try it.

Will look into this. Thanks!

I just looked into it and got nothing. It talks over usb, but no USB Mass Storage support (reading Linux dmesg to test). I looked over TWRP, and it looks like the disabled USB Mass Storage when Android shifted away from having a separate FAT filesystem you could mount under Windows. Your SD Card is now a directory under /data and most kernels don't have the ability to even export USB Mass Storage anymore because, as ext4, Windows will tell you that the drive is unformatted and ask you to format it for you!! And that would mean losing the entire /data partition. Basically USB Mass Storage is gone. I'm thinking with a custom kernel and maybe compiling TWRP myself, I might be able to get it back, but its going to be far from trivial. I think the end result (a recovery system that I can boot a PC from in an emergency with plenty of tools) will make a great addition to my phone.
TWRP is supposed to support MTP now, but its not working for me. I end up using USB OTG for "bare clean wipe" flashes.

Any news? Unfortunately, since it was upgraded to lollipop I can not connect the OnePlus one to my car radio as a removable disk. It remains uncomfortable leaving your phone in recovery to use UMS
