How can I use my OnePlus One as USB mass storage device? I dislike MTP.
I do like this-
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Connect to PC
3. Enter recovery mode
Now drivers will load automatically and you can exchange data in Mass Storage Mode.

Really? It will be detected as a USB drive??? Is this with a particular recovery or will TWRP do it? I'd like to add a partition to my phone that will contain a bootable Linux distribution so that I can use my phone as a rescue disk. Would this be possible?

Hi. I am using latest TWRP recovery and Oneplus is responding well invariably.
I have not tried adding partitions and also dont know much about it.
Goodluck if u r planning to try it.

Will look into this. Thanks!
I just looked into it and got nothing. It talks over usb, but no USB Mass Storage support (reading Linux dmesg to test). I looked over TWRP, and it looks like the disabled USB Mass Storage when Android shifted away from having a separate FAT filesystem you could mount under Windows. Your SD Card is now a directory under /data and most kernels don't have the ability to even export USB Mass Storage anymore because, as ext4, Windows will tell you that the drive is unformatted and ask you to format it for you!! And that would mean losing the entire /data partition. Basically USB Mass Storage is gone. I'm thinking with a custom kernel and maybe compiling TWRP myself, I might be able to get it back, but its going to be far from trivial. I think the end result (a recovery system that I can boot a PC from in an emergency with plenty of tools) will make a great addition to my phone.
TWRP is supposed to support MTP now, but its not working for me. I end up using USB OTG for "bare clean wipe" flashes.
Any news? Unfortunately, since it was upgraded to lollipop I can not connect the OnePlus one to my car radio as a removable disk. It remains uncomfortable leaving your phone in recovery to use UMS

Just flashed my nexus with ics..One problem though...When i try to connect it to ubuntu..its not getting detected...any idea??
Did you do the necessary edits in Ubuntu to get the USB device to be recognized?

I had no problem connecting with stock rom..After flashing ics,everything started. I am not being able to mount even mass storage.Everytime i want to copy some files, i have to go into cwm recovery.
I have no problems on latest kang, connects via mtp as intended. Mass storage with on board non removable flash devices like the galaxy nexus is not possible anymore as they have redone the drive structure.

How do enable this so I can transfer some files on my computer? I only get mtp or some other camera option. I just want it to show up as a normal drive. Is there a different driver to be installed?
google removed mass storage mode from android (jellybean(?) and later)
(i think it was b/c mass storage mode does not allow the phone to mount /sdcard while connected to PC.... so apps using /sdcard for storage may become unstable... MTP allows both phone and computer to access /sdcard together, with the phone controlling access)
custom kernels/roms may still include this feature
It can't be done on a FUSE file system

Via Developer Options and enabling USB Debugging, mine shows up as you say "like a normal drive". To see everything, you'll want to make sure "Media Device (MTP)" is selected. Also make sure you have the drivers for your device installed on your computer.
If that still doesnt work, try using: SG USB Mass Storage Enabler, available for free on the app store (play.google.com)
That worked for me on my Galaxy S4 on the GPE Rom.

this is just all kinds of wrong.
google didnt remove it, there's just no sdcard slot so there is no mass storage mode. end of discussion.
This is also wrong. The one x had no sdcard slot but still had mass storage mode.
The reason it's gone is because of the fused sdcard partition. It is actually an ext4 partition which cannot be read by windows in mass storage mode.
The reason they did this was firstly better performance and less limitations than fat in android. And that the partition can be dynamically changed so no risk of /data becoming full and not being able to install anymore apps etc..
There are several other reasons but I'm not going into the boring stuff

FIRST: calm down please
Which version of CWM is installed? You can mount USB storage in the recovery and simply copy a rom to your sdcrad as it will be handled as usb mass storage. In case you can't mount storage --> we'll get it working another way
WHY you use adb to copy files? Mass storage is even more easy + safe

Device must connected to pc... If it does not mount try restarting the recovery and do again. Close all adb instances on your computer.

Hi,
I'm in deepsh*t right now !! ... I was about to install new ROM for my Moto G XT1033, so I wiped clean everything, and while doing the same way, USB OTG was inserted, went back to mount option to mount the USB OTG, but it doesn't mount it, basically I click on it and it doesn't work, is there any other way or I will have to throw away my phone now ??
Is there a way to manually move ROM data to the root directory or under any directory there using just a cable and adt-bundle ??
Nevermind
TWRP wasn't detecting it due to some FS related issue of the pendrive, i just formatted the pen drive from TWRP, though it wasn't mounting I just wanted to check the wipe option for USB OTG, and it formatted into its recognizable FS, i think it would still be NTFS, but anyway, working now !! ... Almost had a heartattack ...
But anyway, if anyone knows, if similar happens, how to move files directly under root access using some tool or commands, connecting the phone with USB and laptop please give an update

Use adb sideload
Agree with post above. Just use either ADB to push a file to your phone or use ADB to sideload a ROM to install.
Try this!

Goto Fastboot Mode and Install philz_touch_6.57.9-falcon.img and try using OTG cable. Make sure the pendrive you use is in FAT 32 format.

Hey guys, I just wanted to know if there is any way by which I could completely wipe the internal memory and flash a rom, kernel etc straight from the PC through USB? Also If someone could recommend a Rom and gapps (xposed user) it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You have that option on Twrp.
Wipe -> Advanced -> Choose all partitions including internal storage
If you to Instal new rom from PC, you have to use fastboot but you can use USB otg to

But if I choose Internal storage from TWRP won't the rom and gapps get erased too?
Sent from my A0001 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Well yes that would happen, you'd delete the files you put on the internal storage so, when you do the "full" wipe in TWRP using the Advanced wipe option, select everything except the internal storage which will leave those files located there intact.

I understand but I want to wipe the internal storage too , is there a way for me to flash the files from the PC through recovery?
Sent from my A0001 using XDA-Developers mobile app
No, there's not really much you can do at that point since you'd be cleaning out any content there you'd need to redo the phone back to a functional state. The only types of ROMs you can flash directly in fastboot mode are pretty much the factory CyanogenOS ones from what I can tell, those are the only ones provided as actual partition images, the rest are designed to be installed through recovery, even OxygenOS comes in a recovery flashable form (the last one for the OPO, 2.1.4).
Well there's one possible way: using an OTG USB stick with the ROM files on that, it might work but I can't say for certain it will. You could do the full wipe including the internal storage, use the file manager in TWRP to copy the ROM from the OTG USB stick back to internal storage then flash, maybe.
Just put all the files you need on pen drive, wipe all partitions including internal storage, plug pen drive through otg cable and flash everything you need

Android is vulnerable to virus?
I just wipe and transfer the ROM/Gapps/addons from my PC while still in recovery.
This has always worked fine with my Oneplus One. My Note 5 and Galaxy Tab S2 will not be detected by my PC in recovery.
ADB sideload the ROM after erasing the Internal Storage

euh, Windows explorer?
I don't use a tool at all. I plug in the USB cable, computer goes "pling", I drag and drop files from my computer into the phone's folder and done.
If you can't do this I'm not really even sure where to begin to find out why I can and you can't. Try just, going into recovery, plugging your phone into your computer and seeing what happens?

You could always just format everything through recovery and then either push or sideload the new rom through adb.

I'm surprised people haven't come up with ADB push yet.
Before wiping everything ADB pull the required files.
Wipe everything from the recovery, and while in recovery, ADB push everything you pulled back to the device.
Profit!
