Problem with BroodRom Configurator

Hello, this is my first post and, first of all, I'd like to give a big THANK YOU to the BroodROM developer. I got my Samsung Galaxy S Plus a week ago and, after reading a lot, I decided to flash this rom. Everything's working perfect (performance, battery, etc.) and I tried to to tune up the rom through Configurator Beta 3.
I have an issue with the Configurator (no matter wich version). I plug the phone to usb port, choose the "Connect computer" button on phone's screen and run the configurator. Click on Authenticate but it hangs and do nothing. I tried to run with the /nocheck parameter and I started the Configurator but no option worked.
I don't know if it's related but when I tried to run the bat file for the "battery tweak" it didn't work. I plug the phone to the same Usb port where I flashed the rom with Odin.
Hope anyone could help me to be able to run the Configurator. I'm not sure if I do all the correct steps when I connect the phone to computer. I got it in "massive storage" option and debugging mode checked. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Could someone give me some help? Thanks again.

I have exacly the same problem.

try to check ur USB debugging in ur phone setting. Setting - application - development & check USB debugging. then try reconnect again to ur pc.

Is broodrom still alive for the newer devices?
I used to enjoy it alot, was always fast and reliable.

[GUIDE] Enable UMS Mode for External SD Card ***UPDATED***

I have recreated this method based on this post to make it much easier for everyone to get this setup on their devices with complete details.
Confirmed Working With
1. Windows 7
2. Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
3. Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion)
4. Other OS versions possible just not yet confirmed/tested (only thing stopping is driver support)
How to Enable UMS Mode on your Verizon Galaxy S III
1. Make sure you are currently rooted ***VERY IMPORTANT***
2. Download and install the Samsung Official Verizon Galaxy S III USB Drivers - Link Here
3. Download and install GScript Lite from the Play Store onto your device - Link Here
4. Download the Verizon Galaxy S III UMS-MTP Switcher Scripts to your computer - Link Here (or attachment at bottom of OP)
5. Create a folder called "gscript" on the root of your internal storage (/sdcard partition)
6. Extract the two scripts from the zip file (from step #4) into that folder on your device - Screenshot Here
7. Open GScript Lite on your device
8. Press the Menu key on your device and select "Add script"
9. Press the "Load file" button and select "UMS Mode.sh", then press the "Save" button and the UMS Mode script will be added to the list
10. Press the Menu key on your device and select "Add script" again
11. Press the "Load file" button and select "MTP Mode.sh", then press the "Save" button and the MTP Mode script will be added to the list
12. Select the "UMS Mode" script from the list and allow Superuser for root access
13. The script will now run and do not worry if GScript Lite force closes at the end as this is perfectly normal
14. On your Windows 7 computer you will see it will try to install "SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device" as one of the drivers and fail *this is normal*
15. Go into Device Manager on your computer, right click "SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device" and select "Properties"
16. Click on the "Driver" tab and click the "Update Driver" button, a prompt will then come up
17. Select "Browse my computer for driver software", then select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer" on the next screen
18. Select "USB Mass Storage Device" as the new driver from that list and finish up that install
19. At the end you will see something like this on your computer - Screenshot Here
20. Windows will install final drivers automatically and a new "Disk drive" will show up on your computer, this is your external SD card on your device
21. If you want to return to MTP Mode, just select "MTP Mode" script from GScript Lite on your device and after it force closes you will be back to normal

Benefits of UMS Mode
USB Mass Storage (UMS) Mode used the old way of managing USB storage (like Galaxy S II and so on) before that changed to Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) Mode (aka. Device mode) with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The benefit of UMS Mode is that it will work with special devices that try to read your phone like a car radio head unit will now be able to read the songs, pictures, videos, etc through the USB port properly, as well as your TV (if it has USB support of course), among many other devices. Also it's a much more reliable method of transferring files on your computer since it's basically direct access to the SD Card as opposed working through a special protocol with MTP or PTP Mode. This mod will enable your SD Card to show up as a regular disk drive instead of a device on whatever you plug into with a USB port. Hope that helps explain it a bit without being too technical. For details on why Google decided to switch to MTP Mode see this article.

Awesome, sweet write up. :good:

I may have to try this. The MTP doesn't work on my Mac for some reason. Android file transfer just crashes whenever I try it.

Do you have to enable the script at boot?
Explanation in OP very summary.
Plug the phone where? In the computer or the AC adapter?
If in the computer then why is necessary that to run the script.
If you don't use the GScript Lite then what do you use to run the scripts (Terminal?).
If you copy the script to the phone then the files should have which extension? I mention that because there is nothing attached.
Do not forget that you're dealing here with a lot of noobs.
Please be so kind and review the OP.
If the script works correct then this is a big deal and I congratulate you but do it like a pro.
Cheers.

Thanks Beknatok.

I just tried it and it works perfectly.
This part is very important:
If Windows fails to find the correct driver, go to the Device Manager and manually set it to use the driver, "USB Mass Storage Device". It seemed to try to stick with the MTP driver in my case.

OK here is what I did.
Installed Script Manager free from the market.
Copied both scripts into sdcard\scripts folder.scripts folder created by myslef.
Opened the mass storages.sh script and run it.
I've got bunch of error messages that it cannot find this and that.
The phone was connected to the computer.
If necessary I can screenshot the errors.

Don't use those scripts, I have issues with them as well. Just copy/paste the OP text into your own script using GScript Lite.

OK let's try. I'll report back.
Edit: OK I did what you proposed. Created the script in GSript Lite and saved then ran. Nothing happens. After I run it GScript FCs. I'm giving up.
This is so simple that I don't think that I'm messing up something.

GScript does have force close issues but don't worry, it still runs as long as you don't see any errors when it's done.
I have just extracted the working GScripts I created and added them to OP for anyone who wants to import them into their GScript Lite. Just create a folder called "gscript" on your internal memory "/sdcard" partition and put those two .sh files into that folder. Then just use the app to add each of them as a new script (load file).

If Windows fails to find the correct driver, go to the Device Manager and manually set it to use the driver, "USB Mass Storage Device". It seemed to try to stick with the MTP driver in my case.

Can someone help me with this part? I have no idea how to do this. I feel so dumb.

Please be informed that I have completely updated and rewrote my own guide for the OP. You will see all details and screenshots necessary to get this setup. If something is not clear please feel free to let me know and I will try to answer as best as I can. Please be advised that this has only been tested and guaranteed to work 100% on Windows 7 based computers so far. I cannot confirm for Windows XP, Mac OS X, Linux, or other devices. If someone can test this elsewhere would be greatly appreciated. Hope this helps you guys.

works perfect/

Great!
Worked great for me. :good:

nice

So what does this enable you to do? Browse the entire internal memory when connected to USB, opposed to just the microSD?

This will enable your SD Card to show up as a regular disk drive instead of a device on whatever you plug into with a USB port. This was the old way of managing USB storage before that changed to MTP Mode (device mode) with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The benefit of UMS is that it will work with special devices that try to read your phone like a car radio will now be able to read the songs through the USB port, also your TV (if it has USB support of course).

Phone charging but not transferring files from PC.

Hello guys.
I am facing a little issue. When I connect my phone to pc, it only charges but does not show as an android device on the PC. I cannot transfer files from PC as it only gets charge.
The conventional solution is to go to settings, storage, and mount USB storage, but that doesn't work too.
I changes ROMs and kernels so its not related to that.
I even tried connecting it to many different PCs using both the original cable and different device cables.
I have a Micromax Canvas A116, rooted and custom ROMs installed.
Can't seem to find a solution to it.
Any help will be much appreciated.

I know for for sure that the problem is from your USB mount settings. On my Samsung galaxy tab, I had this issue and you wont believe that disabling USB debugging (under settings > applications > development ) then setting USB connection to prompt (settings > wireless and networks > USB settings > ) fixed this. You could checkout this guide on how to fix an Android phone’s mass storage / SD card that won’t connect to PC using USB cord

Thanks a lot bro. I will try the suggestions mentioned and report back. Though contrary to that post, my phone doesn't even display a USB icon. Nothing. Just like its connected to a normal charger

Change Your USB Cable

Already tried that like I said before. There is no problem with the cable. It works fine for charging and for other phones. I even tried different cable but same problem. Thanks for trying.

Internal Storage isn't being recognized on Windows (Marshmallow)

After upgrading to marshmallow, the internal storage is no longer accessible from my computer. It only works when on twrp recovery mode. Already turned off USB debugging, changed MTP and back, reinstalled the latest ADB drivers, removed the ADB drivers completely and no cigar. Anyone else going through this?

I think you have to pull down the notification shade and search MTP. I can't remember what I did (you only have to do this once) but you can go to Settings, Developer options, Select USB Configuration (under Networking), and select MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) to enable this.

For 6.0 and up the internal storage, like lollipop was not allowede to be accessed on your computer even with mtp or media transfer protocol selected on your dev options. What i highly suggest for you is to tryother methods such as use stickmpunt from chainfire or try an app like airdroid to transfer files from your phone to the comp or vice versa

You pull down the notification shade and tap the USB icon, switch the MTP. I have to do this every time, regardless of the option set in developer settings.

With the mtp checked will you be able to transfer files on 6.0? I failed for it on my computer here though

This way works out of the box for me (of course You should do that AFTER You connect Your Marshmallow phone to the pc ). I didn't activate dev options. Windows 8.1

yes to all :/

The phone used to work with the same computer and USB cable?

If ur rooted install multirom and install cm13 as secondary os.. then connect to ur pc while ur in cm13 it will detect the driver after that unstall cm 13 and connect as u do normally
like if worked

hey i found away around it thx though!

How did you fix the problem?

"hey i found away around it thx though!"
But why in the name of all that's holy would you ask the question and then not share the answer for others who regularly have the same problem? Keeping info to yourself is the best way of maintaining your "zero thanks" status...

oh sorry for not sharing what i did to solve the problem! here is what i did!
1. connect phone to pc
2. unlock
3. swipe down and touch the notification that says "usb for charging touch for more options"
4. select the option you want
easy
