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 am not sure if this problem is related to the G-Tab or Cyanogenmod in general.
I have the 10" VS Gtab running CM 6.1-B4. I have an extra 16 GB MicroSD installed as well. Trying to mount on Win7 Home Premium 32Bit.
Obviously I wanted to be able to see my tablet's storage space in Windows and copy files to and from it, but when I plugged the Tablet in after installing CM 6.1-B4, I couldn't see the Tab's storage space on Windows.
I should NOTE here that I am only trying to see my additional 16GB MicroSD here
Tried USB Debug On and Off. Tried to turn USB copying on and off via the status windows at the top of the CM screen, nothing.
Then I was looking through Winamp for Android's settings and found the USB Auto Mount. Voila, I now have my 16 GB MicroSD available in Windows 7. I may not have been the first to stumble across this, I don't know for sure. Everything I've searched for as a solution just simply told me that CM6.1-B4's USB Drive mode was broken and was on their to-do list to fix in the next stable release for the GTablet. So naturally I was very excited when I stumbled across this "fix" and thought I should share it with the community.
Love XDA and this entire community.

I have Winamp set to mount the sd2 card but my win 7 (64bit) machine is still not seeing the card. This is making me a little nuts. I tried putting the card into the machine and transferring the music directly onto the card but when I re-inserted the card into the Gtab it doesn't show any music, it doesn't seem to find anything, just tells me that it is scanning - to infinity, doesn't ever seem to stop scanning and never finds anything.
I'm about to give it another try and see if I can come up with something that works. If I do I'll post it here.

Try reformatting the card... after copying your music over, check the "hidden" attribute isn't set. Will be waiting your reply
My Samsung Intercept wont connect to my computer, everytime I plug it in, I get USB device not recognized, how can I get it to be recognized? Im running android 2.2.1, and my computer is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
I tried posting a link but the spam prevention police apparently wont let me post links until I have 8 posts. So I'll just quote:
First I tried to use Win 7′s XP mode, which was a total failure. The Windows stock Virtual PC cannot control any devices, it just reads them as belonging to the real computer. After a lot of searching I found the open source Oracle Virtual Box, which is Windows Virtual PC on crack. With Virtual Box, you can mount any number of operating systems to play around with. As a bonus it has the capability to see external devices as its own. All you need is an install disk for your operating system of choice. I had gotten the Intercept to work with both XP and 7 32 bit, so I chose to install a Win 7 32 virtual machine.
For all the specifics on how to install a virtual operating system in Virtual Box, read the user manual. Its large and technical, but skimming the first two chapters should tell you all you need to know to get started. The short version, you set up a partition for your virtual machine, you then “boot” the virtual machine with the install disk of your operating system of choice. You then go through all the normal installation steps, and bingo-bango you now have a virtual copy of XP/7/whatever.
Here is where things get hazy. I was under the impression that the virtual machine would be where I would see the phone. However for mysterious reasons, suddenly the phone now gives me the option to mount and my main Windows 7 64 has no problem letting me into the phones drive!
I don’t know why. I can close the virtual machine and still have access when I plug in. I wish I knew what the heck was going on and how a virtual 32 bit 7 convinced a real 64 bit 7 that the Intercept is OK, but I do not. All I know is that Virtual Box somehow worked for me, perhaps it can work for you. Other than that Virtual Box is a nifty tool I should have had long ago. Good luck!
UPDATE: I wrote this a couple months ago and while it did work, I have a funny feeling that its all just pure luck as to if Windows will bother to recognize the phone. I have computers it works fine on and some that refuse to see the phone no matter what I do. The whole key is to just keep trying, something will work eventually. If all else fails get an app like SwiFTP and move on with your life.

Thank you very much for this information, I will get to trying the Virtual Box and the SwiFTP, thank you again.
The above information you gave still didnt work :/, do you or anyone else know what I could do to fix?
Hello, I wanted to say that the whole process for the computer to see the Samsung Intercept is buggy to say the least. I have a good knowledge base of computers as I work as a Desktop Support technician for the past 10 years. I read many posts and replies. None seem to be concrete on a resolution. I tried the usual methods. I downloaded the Samsung SWUpdate+Patch. I downloaded the Sprint USB Modem drivers from Samsung's Web site. I also downloaded the custom files for the Kernel and custom recovery. The first thing I tried on all four of my computers was to install the Samsung USB Modem drivers. The second thing I did was to install the SWUpate+Patch software. My first test computer was a Compaq D500 desktop. Windows XP-SP3 with USB 1.0 ports and a USB 2.0. I placed my phone in USB Debugguing Mode. I then powered off my Phone. I held down the three magic keys to get the phone in "Download" mode. I checked Add/Remove Programs both programs were installed- Samsung USB Modem Driver and the SWUpdate. I first opened the Samsung SWUpdate program. I followed the onscreen instructions of the Samsung program. The program could not communicate with the phone. Bottom right corner of the program said disconneted. I tried chaning the Port Settings in the program to COM1, COM2, etc. All said disconnected. I tried opening the Samsung program several times. Restarting the phone, unplugging the battery etc. I also tried using a different USB cable besides the one that came with the phone. No communication. I tried the same process on another PC which had Win7Pro 32Bit SP1. Almost same results, but I had the computer install these three devices when I opened the Samsung program and connected my phone:Android UMS, S3C6410 Android ADB, CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM) I thought I was good. Status still Disconnected. I restarted the computer tried the whole process again. This time the computer gave me three messages of "Device not Recognized." So I tried a few more different was to get the drivers into Device Manager nothing worked. I even tried that PDA2net app that app wouldn't see the phone wither. Then I looked into the PDA2net directory and saw some drivers .INFs that I thought might work.. I would get a little farther, but then the driver seemed to install and partially recognize the devices, but then a message said that it could start "Error 10" So I tried another computer. Windows 7-64bit. I knew this was going to be a long shot..and it was.. Samsung USB Modem Driver not supported on this version of Windows. So I tried my work computer Win7Enterprise 32Bit. Same issues Device not recognized three or four times. I tried the two USB cables for my phone the OEM one and Aftermarket. No luck. So I had my old trusty Dell D600 laptop. WinXP-SP3 32bit USB 1.0. I installed the Samsung USB Modem driver then the Samsung SWUpate app. I got my Recover.tar file dropped into the Bin dir. I opened the Samsung SWUpdate app and holy **** the damn program was able to connect to my phone I couldn't believe it.. I wanted to take a screen shot of it working just so I could make sure it wasn't B.S. I used my laptop with an Aftermarket USB Cable. I'm not sure if it's a Data USB cable or just a charging cable. I don't think there is two different cables as I've read many times on different fourms. I'm not sure why my laptop works with the phone. When my phone did finally connect it connected on COM3. So maybe it's a port setting/IRQ. I also turned off my Firewall each time just incase it was blocking communication.
If anyone has any questions please feel free to reply. I will try to help in any way possible. I wanted to say thanks to XDA Forum and to Super-6-1 on YouTube..you guys Helped Me more than you know.!!!!!
I'm new here.....but i looked everywhere, without a post that answer my question.
Since i can not post in the developer forum, but i'm very happy with this issue about "android on a windows mobile phone" i will be bref.
2 problmes i have in my touch diamond (DIAM100 but in the back it said that the model is DIAM110).
1. USB storage problem: Seems that my device cannot conect to a PC, although the computer "detects" the storage device in linux (mint for the moment), i cannot access the storage in my cellphone, in windows the storage is not detected at all.
2. Wireless networking is a bit rare with my phone, since detects many access points but not the one in my house, it is note here that My PSP and 2 Laptops detects my wireless network while the phone can't.
Thats all, for now for the USB thing i have to reset to windows mobile to impor foles to my cellphone, but i would like to do it directly on xdandriod (even picking the USB icon and activating the USB storage does nothing).
ok, i know that this could be to mutch to ask, but i would be very gratefull if someone can help me with those isues.
Thanks.......
Hi! I know this has been somewhat discussed before, but apparently not in recent months. My question is, is it still not possible to hook up your Windows Phone 8 as a regular storage device and not as a MTP device? Looks like there are a few tricks for other OS's using MTP but not WP8. Has anyone found a way?
My problem is I lost a couple of GB of pics and video and it's driving me crazy knowing they're right there and any recovery software could save them - they just cant access the phone's internal memory via MTP.
I'm posting cuz I've literally spent hours and hours searching, trying things, etc, and am stuck. I have several PQs with various CM/LineageOS ROMs. It is not a ROM issue because if I plug via USB into my desktop pc running win 10, they all work as I want. Presumably, it's a driver issue or something related to my specific laptop - I recently bought an old used laptop, originally shipped with win7. After purchase I immediately removed all partitions and installed win10 from disc (fyi, you can d/l win10 iso from microsoft and use win7 oem key to legally install fresh win10, even now the free upgrade stuff is over - that surprised me).
I cannot, no matter what I do, get file access via usb to my phone. I've tried lotsa things. I don't remember if/what I had to do to make my win10 desktop see them - maybe it was automatic, i dont remember, if it wasnt, I easily downloaded/installed what was necessary - but nothing I've tried makes my win10 laptop load the drivers, although it does detect something when I plug it in, and something else when I select MTP on the phone (vs charge). But just exclamation points in device manager and nothing in explorer. Among other things, I've tried MotorolaDeviceManager_2.5.4
It's especially annoying as I have a video on my phone I wanted to send out tonite and can't, spent another couple hours trying. Bluetooth works fine for pictures but freezes at 10% for video, no idea why. But I'd much rather just use a cable than figure out any wireless BS.
Incase it's something specific to this laptop and someone is curious, it's a Sony VPCF115FM. That 'base system device' and "unknown device" are always "!", MTP with "!" only appears when phone plugged in.
Yea definitely a driver issue. When you plug the PQ into your desktop (which seems to work) what shows up in device manager?
Have you tried to right click on the devices with yellow exclamation points and update the driver from Windows update?
I never followed up on this, but still haven't found a solution, and kinda forgot about it. It does work in PTP mode. And works for a newer Moto (Lenovo) phone on this laptop. Yes, I tried the windows 10 device manager update auto search thing (in fact, just tried it again minutes ago before I read this). I'm about to wipe and install fresh as this phone is running crazy slow lately and wanted to copy everything off before I wipe which is what reminded me of this issue - funny thing is that a google search of this problem ("mtp driver motorola photon q windows 10") found this thread as the third search result and I completely forgot I posted it. I vaguely recall I read your reply but was waiting to see if anyone else responded and then just forgot to follow up when it wasn't on my new list...
PROBLEM SOLVED! It happened in TWRP too and sideload was failing (for another reason) but made me try to figure out MTP again.
Found solution here for anyone with similar issue:

Gotta update driver and manually select "MTP USB" from list of devices, in my case I found it under portable devices.
