Is there any way to enable usb mass storage on S5?
Ditto.
I'll be so bummed if this phone doesn't support it. There would be ZERO use for USB 3.0 if it doesn't have it.

Hi there,
I was wondering if Android devices had their linux kernel built with USB Mass storage support enabled.
What I mean is I would like to connect an external hard drive to my Samsung Galaxy S, mount it from a root console and see its contents from the phone.
I've seen there are very cheap USB adapters on the market (type A female - micro USB type B male should do the job).
Would that be feasible?
Thanks.
To connect any slave device to your phone you need to have Host USB support. As far as I know Galaxy S doesn't have this and can work only as "slave device".
Hey everyone, I'm currently running the latest stable version of CM10. My phone also has a microSD card inserted in it.
My question is about connecting to the computer via USB port. Normally, with stock, when you connect to a computer you have to allow it to connect and disconnect it before you remove it from the computer. I think it has to do with USB debugging (which I have off)? However, when I use CM10, I get no prompt whatsoever.
Is it safe to just put it in and pull it out (that's what she said)?
If I enable USB debugging will I get this prompt again? Is it even possible to get this prompt again?
I've tried looking all over for an answer, but it's kind of difficult to word in a search. I've been just pulling the plug, and I'd really hate to damage my precious SR!
Thanks, y'all

When you plug the usb in pull down the menu on your phone and it'll give you the option to connect usb. Just Swype down from the top of your screen.

I think CM10 and 10.1 have USB OTG which means you don't have to allow/disallow it anything. Just pull the usb cord and that's it.

Excellent, thanks!
I don't have this device but when you install JB, it use MTP mode as default, which is a Microsoft transfer standard. MTP mode allow you to use the phone storage space (and Sdcard) while transferring at the sametime, for example, if you have apps installed or files on your Sdcard they will still be accessible while plugged in. You can unplug it anytime and there are less chances of files corruption. However MTP also have its limitation such as being retarded.
The other mode is USB MSC (aka UMS aka usb mass storage) which we're familiar with. You could pull the chord with this mode too since its really how USB transferring is designed, but it's better to safe remove first to prevent corruption.
USB debugging is something different which allow ADB access, which I recommend turning off when not in use for security. It should work with both UMS and MTP mode.
USB OTG means on the go, which allow plugging in USB peripherals such as flash drives and is only available for phones that have both the hardware and kernel that support it. Sometimes you also need additional mounting software such as Stick Mount.
Some phones allow you to switch between UMS and MTP mode. Most newer ones running JB only have MTP mode and donot allow UMS mode at all, such as Nexus devices and Galaxy SIII. Also if the device only work with MTP you will not be able to mount USB storage to your PC while in CWM.

I noticed someone wrote an app to mount USB mass storage devices "[root] Stick Mount", I wonder if it is probable for an app that allows HDMI Out through that port?
I was about to buy a USB drive to use with my Moto G.
Just wanna know what is maximum storage capacity supported by USB OTG.
32GB or 64GB?

USB OTG just makes a device's USB port act like both a host and a client/gadget/whatever, so a USB flashdisk connected through USB OTG will act just like on a computer - as a mass storage device. This means there is no limit to the USB device's maximum storage on the phone's side.
Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to enable usb mass storage device mode on the S8+. I want to connect it to my car via usb but it doesn't let me. I have read that I need to connect it as a mass storage device however all the apps that say they can do this say that they can't find my 'lun' file. I can connect it via aux but then I can't control the music with the pause buttons etc. Bluetooth isn't an option as my car doesn't have it.
up for this
MTP all the way
Maybe the issue is not with your S8, but with your car's USB. Try both these steps to isolate the issue:
1. Connect your S8 to a laptop to check if you can enable mass storage.
2. Connect another phone to your car's USB to see if it allows and recognized the mass storage setting.
3. Try to connect your S8 to another car and see if the mass storage can be used.

That is not a issue with the car USB... That kind of radio only support universal mass storage devices, the old andorid devices, android 5 and below, could be mounted as a UMS device, so the radio would be able to play it's audio files. Now android devices can only be mounted as MTP, so it doesnt works. One thing that you can do is root your phone and use some UMS enabler app.
Guys, can I access my storage from recovery mode?
I cant unlock my phone and need to get data from storage.
Is there a mass storage option, like old times?
Thx
