[Q] Folder view starts with "Verizon Mobile" then goes to Card/Phone folders - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

[Q] Folder view starts with "Verizon Mobile" then goes to Card/Phone folders
Hello all,
I just flashed JB today using Odin (rooted/unlocked). Now, every time I connect my S3 to my PC, it comes up as D: Verizon Mobile, with 6 files visible (autorun.onf, Bootstrap-helper.exe, GdiPlus.dll, ModelNumber.txt, Samsung Mobile USB Driver.exe and ToolLauncher-bootstrap.exe) instead of the screen it use to show with ICS -- just the two folders Card and Phone.
Now if I wait about 30 seconds, that screen goes away and the expected Card / Phone directories appear and the PC says it is Computer > SCHi535 like it should.
Any idea how to get rid of the initial screen? I believe the correct Samsung drivers have loaded as once I get to the 'correct' screen I can go into the folders, copy, delete, etc.
Thanks
Frank
UPDATE: After digging around I went to Device Manager and found out that during the first 30 seconds after plugging in the phone, it thinks it is a CD ROM with software "samsung File Stor Gadget USB Device". I tried to update it - it said I had the best choice. I tried to delete it, but it comes back as soon as I reconnect the phone. I then disabled it. Now, that first screen does not come up but it still takes 30 seconds before the expected screen comes up showing both the Card and Phone in Explorer....

[Q] yp-g70cwy/xaa malfunctioning

Hello, hoping someone here can help me. I have the galaxy player 5 (yp-g70cwy/xaa). When I first got it ran a software program that only allowed it to do one thing which was rate tv programs that I watched. I did a factory reset, wiped the cache and the davlik cache as well...after that the phone would only open as far as the samsung logo.
I recently started tinkering with it again and I rooted the phone, flashed the rom, used .pit files, with odin and superoneclick. I recently used android commander and I finally saw life! The only problem is that I will either get the message the setup wizard is not working and it will leave me on a blank screen that only shows the time, battery, and whether or not the usb is connected. I can connect the usb to the computer and drag and drop stuff into the ext sd card. The internal memory and internal sd card do not read. My computer shows the yp-g70 in devices but it will not show it under removable devices.
When I connect it to android commander I can see all the files on the device and I was finally able to get the phone to the play store. I logged on using my gmail account and I was able to download apps (that all worked fine). I used some third party apps to do what the phone could not do which was open up the settings, camera, etc. The home screen is completely blank. The lock screen shows the wallpaper I downloaded but not the home screen. After awhile the phone turned off with a full battery and it will only work if I reset to factory defaults but then I have to register with google all over again. Does not save anything!
Can anyone please tell me how to fix this device. I have been working on it for a week already and no improvement.
Update
I now have the phone to where it can download items from the play store. I can use the device like normal But I had to download an app for the start key because I cannot get to the options without it. When i downloaded and rebooted the recovery it still gets stuck at the samsung logo. I have to type something into the search bar in the android commander and the phone boots to the play store. It randomly turns off and I have to recover the files all over again...I dont know. It seems like an improvement but yet I know that there is a file in this phone that is bad. I downloaded anti virus but it is still not picking up anything.
any luck on this?
I have the same one and just started looking to see how I can tinker with it .. .

Access Secure Folder without screen via Sidesync/vysor

Hello,
My first post here,
Today my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 screen died (The whole screen turned purple and black can't see anything).
Right now the only way to interact with the phone is via Side sync,
I managed to backup every thing except all my precious data in "Secure Folder".
Whenever I open the secure folder application, the connection to side sync is interrupted (apparently for some security reasons),
it won't connect again until I press the back button on the phone several time (to close the secure folder application),
I tried vysor and got the same behavior
Is there a way I can access the secure folder through side sync or vysor??
I don't want to pay $150 to repair the screen, and the data in the secure folder is the only thing left I want from this phone.
Any help or ideas are very much appreciated.
Regards,

Frozen Screen; Retrieve Pictures?

Out of nowhere my S6 stopped working. Each time I restart my phone it gets stuck on the "LTE Plus" screen. I need to figure out a way to retrieve my pictures/videos. I didn't back them up. I checked my Samsung, Google, and One Drive accounts. Below is a list of things I can still do on my phone and things I've attempted. Let me know if you have any ideas.
1. I can soft restart my phone
2. I can restart it into download and bootloader mode
3. I can not start it up in safe mode
4. I wiped cache partition
5. I can connect it to my laptop via USB but it only shows as a bluetooth device. It does not show any options to open up files. The phone was not debugged prior to the phone breaking.
6. I've tried trial versions of Fone Lab and 2-3 other similar programs. Each time with no luck.
Would love to hear your thoughts or ideas. I really don't want to lose these pictures/videos. Thanks!

Can't get USB drivers to work

Hello.
I am having a lot of trouble getting the USB drivers to work.
I am wanting to simply connect my Moto One 5G Ace with a USB cable and have it show up as a drive on Windows File Explorer. I want to copy files to/from the SD card.
But either I'm not downloading the right drivers, or my developer settings are wrong, or something else is going on.
I downloaded the "MotoroalDeviceManager_2.5.4.exe. All that seems to do is check for software updates.
I downloaded Motorola_Mobile_drivers_v6.4.0.zip, which seems to do absolutely nothing.
When I connect the phone to the computer, I get the popup from the system tray "Setting up the Motorola One 5G Ace device" (or whatever), then asks me what I want to do with it by default. I select "Open File Explorer". Well, the "motorola one 5G ace" selection in File explorer shows a blank screen.
If I go into USB Debugging and turn it on, the phone disappears from File Explorer entirely.
I've gotten this to work before with my Moto X4.
I'm running Windows 10.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Did you set the default USB connection to "file transfer"?

I was actually looking for that, but couldn't find it. A search at the top of the interface found it.
So no, it wasn't set. I set it, and I got further. Thanks!
But not too much further.
What is now being shown in File Explorer, under "motorola one 5G ace" is:
android
Internal shared storage
I'm assuming "android" is my SD card, as that's how it seems to appear everywhere else on the phone. It also shows 115GB used, which is about right for that SD card, considering the junk I have on it.
Browsing under Internal shared storage is empty. Nothing is under there. ZIP.
Under "android" are a bunch of directories, such as .$recycle.bin$, Alarms, Android (yes, again), DCIM, Download, Movies, Podcasts, Ringtones, and a drive symbol.
Alarms has some small files. Everything else is empty.
So, I'm part way there. What can I check next? Permissions issue, perhaps?
Thanks

Ok folks, so I did a repair job on the msi, and it got "further". I could see some directories.
But then I decided to swap out the cable. And that seemed to do the trick. I'm now able to transfer over some huge files. Odd, as I thought the original cable was a good one, too.
Thanks for all your help.

More often than not, a bad cable or port on the PC end is the culprit. However, in my case, on my laptop, I have to uninstall and then reinstall the drivers after every time I have shut it down. All works well then until I shut down my laptop and then reboot the next day. Rinse and repeat. It's a head scratcher for sure. But at least I can get things working again.

Yeah, I've used that cable for other transfers, too. So I'm not sure what happened. Maybe this was the first time I used it in a USB 3.0 port, so it couldn't handle the higher speed. That's all I can think of.
I'll consider this the next time I have transfer issues.

how to get the photos to show in file explore differently

i have the a51 and when i connect it to the pc to get photos off the phone and paste them into a pc folder and open it in the file explorer i get small icons and i get the oldest photos first. when i connect my lg aristo and my oterh samsung that i do not recall teh models they open photos in file explorer with large icons and newest photos first.
so it kind of looks like i have to do some phone settings to make this happen. i tried win10 but they are telling me i need different apps etc. but my older phones do this so the a51 should do this as well. even the nokia does thes but with that phone i have to first copy all the photos into a folder first.
anyway is there a setting on the phone that tell the files to open large and new files first? the phone puts the date and a file number on the photos automatically.
also on a side note how do i stop the pc from giving me that warning triangle in the taskbar and if i click that it tells me the phone has been disconnected or stopped working. i have even use the safe to remove hardware to eject the phone and i still get that message and i do not get it for any other phones i would just unplug those old phones and be doen with it. this phone give me that message every time
