Galaxy Note 10.1, USB Mass Storage Mode, Questions and Options please? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All -
Okay, USB Mass Storage mode, what about it?
My Galaxy Note 5.3 with ICS has it. My Galaxy S3 with ICS does not have it.
I've been Googling for hours, and getting nowhere. The Samsung website says the N8000 has "USB Mass Storage Mode". But two posters on XDA say that it does not.
What I like to do is keep my PC file directory synced to my Samsung device. On my old Galaxy Tab 7 Classic, I can just plug it in (USB Mass Storage Mode), and it mounts and works. I then use ROBOCOPY (Windows rsync wannabe) and it syncs up just fine, and very quickly. I've got it in a batch file, I just plug in, double-click the icon, and it goes.
On the S3, MTP mode, as everyone seems to already know, doesn't cut it at all. It can't detect dates or metadata, so it wants to re-copy everything, in very slow MTP mode. UGH!
Prior to the ICS update for my note 5.3, I just rooted and used Samba.
So my questions:
1. Can someone definitively confirm whether the GT-N8000 Galaxy Note 10.1 has true USB Mass Storage mode support, or not?
2. If not, do we think Samsung is going to add it, as they did with the Galaxy note 5.3?
3. If not, is Samba the right way to go here? Is there a better way?
4. I've heard that "Airdroid" might be good, but does it support syncing a la rsync or robocopy?
5. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to proceed?
Thank you all so much for your patience and guidance!

My Galaxy S2 has USB Mass Storage mode... and I'm very dissapointed that the Note 10.1 does not have USB Mass Storage mode. Why do they keep changing these file structures... its so inconsistent.
One of the reasons I jumped from Transformer Prime TF201 to the Note 10.1 is because I thought the file structure in the Note 10.1 is better sturctured, just like the S2.
Anyone has any work around this? I do not want to always remove my microSD card all the time.

In settings/developer options, select usb debugging. Then when you connect to pc you should get mass storage hookup

You just need the MTP drivers .........
On WinXP machines mostly You will have to download KIES , install it to get drivers installed but not run it, connect 10.1 via USB and voila You will have a folder showing "phone" and sdcard folder.
Now You can use the sdcard card as mass storage. Only when it comes to transfer of files not recognized by Android or the device it will ask You wether it should be copied , just click yes.
On most win7 pcs Sammy devices are recognized automatically as MTP ...........

Same issue here , and for windows 8 i can't get the right drivers for it , the pc can't recognize the device in case i installed last version of Samsung Kies

The Note 10.1 uses MTP like the S3. I used this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711009 on my Note 10.1 and it lets me mount the external micro SD card when I plug it into my Windows 7 computer. You have to be rooted w/ busybox installed. It should work for the S3 also, since that is what it was made for.
Good luck!

go to settings...
I'm running ICS 4.0.4 on galaxy note which runs MTP mode by default.
Usb mass storage mode can be enabled from settings-> wireless and network (more) -> usb utilities... turn on mass storage
There u r... hope it helps

is there a mod for the note 10.1 for ums?

Also there are windows applications that can do it too..
Dont remember anything over my head, but i am sure search will give you results..
I have done once in the past... It was along toiling process but eventually got many of them back.

If you are able to mount the internal sd as card in your pc then you should be able to do it, since it would be acting like any other hard drive
I dont think this is possible with stock firmware.. but if you are able to install an asop rom like CM then you might have option to do it by using some app like ums mass storage enabler or so..

[Q] ICS USB mass storage not working

I have a problem with the USB mass storage in ICS build 4, for some reason when I connect my phone to the PC it just starts charging and doesn't give me the option of turning the mass storage on. Are there any alternative programs for using usb storage?

Maybe it's just a problem with ICS because it's still in its early Alpha stages. Just go back to CM7 or any Froyo ROM.

It worked in build 3, it's just strange that the option is gone in the newer build,and please if you have a concrete answer for my question please answer, I am aware of the possibilities but I want to use ICS.

If you want to use ICS than you will have to live with these bugs since it is only the fourth release. Anyway, the developers may have done something wrong with it but will probably be able to fix it with ease in the next release.
I highly recommend you to wait for the full version of ICS/CM9 as it is still incomplete!
If you want to use this rom then you have only option,get an adapter

Or use a wireless transfer (through wifi or bt), e.g. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop.

No custom roms have been made till now!
Samsung will release ICS update and possibly a jelly bean update too later.
Currently, CyanogenMod 10(Jelly Bean) is being made!
Hi all,
I ask here in order to not open a new thread.
Do you know how the f$·"$"·k to disable the MTP connection on this phone? I want only USB mass storage, but currently I'm not able to access the external SD card, only the internal one. Folders "external_sd" and "usbStorage" are empty (I guess the phone mounts the ext SD on one of them)
I tried to enable USB debugging, then Settings -> Wireless networks -> USB settings, but there are not choices to choose P); I can only "connect to PC", without any chance to get to ext SD card, as mentioned.
Any ideas?

Opening a new thread is appropriate in this case; also, you can't simply post off topic content -- that's 1000x worse than opening a new thread. I recommend trying the specific forum for your phone.
On my phone, it's under:
Code:
Settings->Sony Ericsson->Connectivity->USB connection mode
. Obviously, it will differ for your phone.

I can't find any nightly build for the Galaxy Ace 2. Do you have some news about this dev ?
Try to re-install samsung drivers for mtp device in Windows then You shoud get both int and ext SD.
And for now mtp is "the one" connection type You can get.
Enabling debuging should allow You to run adb. Then You can push and pull files to/from device.
All best.

everytime i plug into windows 7 it says hardware ID missing

Please help i cant get my phone to connect to transfer files it says device ID missing please contact hardware manufacturer. I installed the samsung dirvers from samsung but no keis or anything.
I have the same issue on my WinXP machine.
I still get it, but when you plug in the device check the screen and toggle your connection settings on the USB popup.
do you have a SD card or are you just using the internal?
i have internal and external sd.
Yea, make sure you check the phone to make sure it is set as a storage device.

do u have a custom rom? i had this happen with jellywiz custom rls 2, was your developer mode turned on? try connecting it as a storage devide (mtp) instead of as a camera with developer mode on...
this solved the issue for me, i think...
I cannot get Mtp to work with debugging on. Turn it off, and it works fine. Unrecognized device, sd cards greyed out with debugging on. (fyi running synergy)

[Q] Recover data from P3100

I was running CM10 nightly on my SGT2 P3100. 2 days back i flashed the new Official JB update without taking backup ( should have taken, learnt my lesson). After rebooting all the personal files were gone including photos and all. Is there anyway to recover those files? I am not able to plug in my tab as a mass storage device - only media storage and camera mode available in USB.
Someone please tell me how to proceed now? How to use tablet as mass storage device so i can run recovery software??
Anybody???

If your data was wiped during install, you have no recourse. This app should turn device into usb mass storage. I haven't used this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.zatta.USB_switch&hl=en as my rom supports usb, mtp, and ptp.

How do i enable USB mass storage on the Galaxy J7?

How do i enable USB mass storage on the Galaxy J7? I can transfer some files using MTP mode, but when I connect the J7 to my computer I can only see certain files. USB mass storage mode should allow me to see all files, I think. The phone isn't rooted. I want to transfer a couple roms for an emulator into the correct directory. I can't even see the directory the emulator created.
Never mind. I was able to make the required directories in MTP mode. I'm still curious if there is a USB mass storage mode on the J7 though...
u can do it in twrp recovery
