I was trying to transfer some files from my phone, but Mass storage mode was giving me grief so I decided to try and activate MTP mode, and now I am somehow stuck on it. if I try to uncheck the MTP mode it automatically checks itself back on. I can check PTP mode instead of MTP but then I am faced with the same issue.
to make matters worse, the files I actually wanted transferred aren't supported in PTP is seems, the folder that was contained them looks empty from the PC (still see them from the file explorer on the phone).
how do I bring back the Mass storage option without resorting to doing a full on factory reset and losing the data?
Sorry for posting in the general section, couldn't find the section specific to my model.
Using ZTE V970 running 4.1.2 Android
MIUI version 3.2.22
What's wrong with MTP? I personally prefer it over USB Mass storage. Probably a glitch of MIUI. You could try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, but other than that, not really sure. Since you are rooted, you could try this:

to see if you can force it to work.

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.

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.
Hello friends, I am facing a problem with USB Mass storage. Please find the case as below.
Previously when I used to connect my phone with my laptop, it used to show a pop-up notification on either I wish to enable USB mass storage mode or just wish to have my phone on charging only. USB debugging was also working like a charm during those days.
Now, from last two days (suddenly) none of the computers (i have tried on almost 10 different laptops) is recognizing my phone. Though this is the problem, it gets charged over USB without any problems.
Could someone of you please help with your expert knowledge??? I have tried downloading certain applications from Play Store also but no luck at all.
In furtherance to this, please note that I clicked on "format/emmc" while installing one of the custom ROMs through CWM recovery before two days and i suspect that this could have caused a problem.
Please help.

Buddy,
Formatting EMMC is just like formatting SD card and EMMC is Internal SD card.
Do one thing backup all your data and then reboot in recovery and there you will find the options:-
Mount & Storage --> Mount USB Storage.
First connect your phone to USB and to the laptop then do the above said if its connected then its working and you only have to clear the defaults of the USB application.
If its not working then try other rom with proper guidance of flashing given by the OP.
Hit Thanks Instead of Saying It.....
I Instalet many roms and on everyione was working perfectly before some time i instaled viper 1.3.2 and when i conect it to computer my phone is only charging now i instaled cyanogen mod 10.1 its not working again only charging.
I selected file transfer in settings>storage> menu but still nothing can anyone help me please...
ViperS uses MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) and not UMS mode (USB Mass Storage mode) (as like CM, MIUI, etc).
Just go to My Computer and you'll find an entry "HTC Sensation Z710e". Double-click on it and it will show you your SDCard

I checked that already i read on this forum about that but nothing of that is working i also tried on diferent computers first is saying unknown device and after that i try MTP and usb mass but nothing ... Something else
What exactly you want to do ?
If you want to transfer files to phone or take backup of SDCard then boot into 4EXT Recovery > Connect USB cable to phone > Select "Toggle USB storage" (or something like that). Your phone will now show up in My Computer as a new drive. You can do whatever you want including Formatting
Good Luck !!!

have you enabled usb debugging mode also?
Hi,
Yesterday evening i broke the display of my MI4 and i ordered one from ebay.
I tried to buckup all the data connecting the phone to the computer through MTP but after few minutes the copy stopped with an error and wasn't possible to start again the copy.
I tried to restart the phone and once booted the \sdcard was completely empty! :crying:
What can i do to restore all my data?
it's not possible to connect the internal storage as mass storege due a miui bug, so what is your suggestion??
Thanks a lot.

Hope this helps
It might not be really empty, just MTP gone off from phone side.
Have you enabled developer options and android debugging?
