Downloaded this on my rooted Galaxy Victory LTE on Virgin Mobile:

This is supposed to enable usb mass storage mode so, you know, actual devices will actually recognize my phone. But it is making my phone appear as a cd-rom drive on windows 7.
Edit; OK, so it seems this app wasn't made for my phone really and other people have confirmed it won't work with the victory. So is there anything that will work with the victory?
Someone please develop a USB mass storage for this device! I can't stand MTP mode. Large files constantly fail. You can only do one operation at a time. It's horrible! I run Linux so accessing ext4 partition is not a problem.
Last few phones I've owned only allow MTP or ptp.. Eeerrrrrr
Clonezilla

Try clonezilla live, will back up the entire operating system at once.
I have noticed this as well. I and my wife both use Wifi Storage, which works ALOT better. Other than that, you could get an FTP app, upload stuff to FTP then download it from it using your phone. I did that for a short while.
Wish the Mass Storage mode didn't suck so back on this phone!
Hi,
I realize that there might be an answer to this already, however I have been searching for a while and no such answer has presented itself. I have come across other threads on this forum that explain how to get in. However my concern is that these are really old posts and perhaps point to an older version of Android?!? The reason I didn't follow those tutorials is I am afraid of wiping off any data that might exist on the phone (which is not something I would like to do!!!)
So it is as follows:
LG NEXUS 4 - 02 NETWORK UK
NOT ROOTED
STOCK EVERYTHING
USB DEBUGGING DISABLED
CRACKED SCREEN\DIGITZER - NO TOUCH RESPONSES ACCEPTED
So my question is this, can I access the files on here including all music/photos/contacts/messages etc and back up to a WINDOWS PC. Please forgive me if my responses sound noobish to you, as I am not familiar with Android, so might ask some daft questions.
Thanks in Advance
Anybody? I fear for trying anything as I do not wish to loose pictures etc.
Stock Everything
Not Rooted
No USB Debugging Enabled
Can I enable usb debugging through adb?
you do not need usb debugging enabled to transfer data from device to pc, my question is, when you plug your device into your pc, does your computer recognize it as a mass storage device and can you see your phone in the list of devices with removable storage ?
Hi, this problem is a total PITA... just spent a couple of hours googling to no avail, and there doesn't seem to be a relevant section here for me to ask my question
I'm guessing it's not relevant, but anyway, my phone is a THL 5000 running 'thl 5000 KK by Dimid & rbarat v3.0'. I can see my SD card and internal storage in MTP mode (connect as media device), but that totally sucks balls because the speed is glacial and all my right-click options are gone (not even greyed out). At first I went looking for a hack to break Vista's MTP protocol somehow to sort it, but made no headway. So I decided I'd be better off trying to find a way to make UMS mode (connect as USB storage) work. Currently UMS just shows up as two empty removable drives, which prompt me to insert a disk when clicked on. And there isn't any option on the phone I can find to mount the drives.
I have a feeling it'd work on an XP machine, but I don't know anyone still running XP to check... although I seem to recall my old HTC running CM7 would connect just fine in UMS mode to my Vista machine (IIRC it didn't have a MTP option). OTOH, if I boot the phone into TWRP, it's just the same as UMS on Android. So anyway, I'm totally stumped.
Anyone have a clue?
...Anyone?
Hi there,
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Unfortunately I can't find anything specifically about the problem you describe, but take a look at this thread:
THL 5000 OctaCore MTK6592T,ROOT,RECOVERY.
I'd suggest you ask your question there so it reaches other people who are experienced with your device.
Good luck
I've been using Z3 till now, there was an option for USB Mass Storage mode, which simply emulated sd card as pen drive. I could simply transfer any file I wanted with the highest speed possible!
This option is gone in XZ Premium, and the way I see it the only method available now is MTP (which sucks massively, words can't describe how bad this protocol is)
So my question is, what can I do to transfer any file I want at top speed to my phone? This is 2017, I've bought high speed SD card, I can't believe I'm stuck with MTP that goes around 5MB/s... There has to be a way for legit file transfer...
I use a app called superbeam, it uses wifi.

I wouldn't call wifi a solution to that, I'm going to use a high speed sd card too to transfer 4k movies and stuff back and forth so I'd like to know this myself too.
Looks like Sony is providing USB 2.0 cable with Sony XZ Premium (UCB20 is USB 2.0), this is one of the reasons of low transfer speeds.
Sucks for me as well
Anybody found a better solution?
If you have Root, you can get a app from the play store that enables Mass Storage
How is this called?
Would be the solution as soon as root exploit is found
If you have fast internet just FTP? Or just use an SD card reader? But the latter will kill your flaps water resistance after time so wouldn't bother ?
Mass storage mode transfer is a thing of the past for good reason. Your phone, under such a mode, would present its internal storage to the computer to mount up and use as if it were a thumb drive. Trouble is, very few file systems support concurrent read/write mounting by multiple computers, and you won't find any of those that do on a phone. So, when in mass storage mode, the computer must be given exclusive access to the storage, meaning the phone cannot access it. Obviously, this wouldn't work if the phone had to give up exclusive access to important system files, so this lead to the two partition system whereby important stuff was on an OS partition unavailable as mass storage and user data was on an 'sdcard' partition. That partition sizing was set at the factory and couldn't be changed without root and often kernel work, and it usually wasted a ton of space on the OS partition because OEMs are necessarily conservative there. Also, it restricted what file systems OEMs could use for the sdcard partition as your computer is unlikely to understand file systems like ext3/4. So the sdcard partition was quite often fat32, which has a few downsides. Firstly, Microsoft do hold patents there that they enforce, so licensing is needed. Secondly, it is an archaic and crappy file system with limitations like no single file larger than about 4GB. Not a great plan in 2017 - I don't think I even have any movies that small on disk anymore.
All that said, I don't see the problem with MTP. If it's slow for you, it's likely because you're using the supplied cable, which is USB version 2, so slow. I slung about 15 GB or so of film onto my phone yesterday through a USB 3.1 cable in under a minute. It's definitely the fastest USB transfer to a phone I've ever experienced.

I have now tested a lot of different solutions for file transfers.
None of the ones emulating a network card and making SMB share worked.
Finally I landed on some FTP server apps.
Now I use "WiFi Pro FTP Server" as this one had best performance out of the ones I tested.
With performance I mean time until directory content (~3.000 jpeg files) is displayed by FTP client. This one takes about half a minute where crap MTP via USB took more than 5 minutes (with new, high quality USB 3.0 cable!).
I have notebook and phone in different WiFi bands to increase performance. Transfer speed is about 4-10MB/s so really good and far beyond MTP.
Of course, I am still missing good old mass storage mode
