Hello,
I pluged the device to my laptop (win 7 pro 64bit) and have chosen the driver mode, installed the drivers, then i want to access the mass storage mode to transfer the files using file commander, but the only modes are charge, MTP, PTP, driver disk....i cant see the internal and external storage as a disk in any mode. Please how to fix this?
I might be wrong, but I do not think Lollipop supports USB mass storage anymore . You should still be able to transfer files in and out via Windows Explorer using MTP mode. And I actually like that because I no longer have to worry about ejecting the device before unplugging.
Usb Mass Storage (UMS) is no more officially supported since Jelly Bean 4.2.2. Nevertheless we can find some app/mod enabling it (on playstore) but I don't know if or works with 5.0 + and root is needed.

I just plug usb end in to my pc running windows 7 and it auto detects, if that is what your asking! You might have to get the usb drivers from samsung site or google it.

When I plug my tab it, I get a "Connected as a Media Device" (or something along those lines) and my computer will automatically open/view the files on my tablet. If this doesn't happen, you can download Kies (software from Samsung to help install drivers and sync media) and that might help you.
Kies link: http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
USB mass storage mode is being phased out, if your in windows this is not a problem as the default "media transfer protocol" will work just the same for transferring files (albeit only one transfer at a time)but if you really must have USB mass storage, google is your friend.
usb working in ics
If you are asking for USB storage in tab then you should download nexus media importer from web.....
Your USB drive also should be on Fat32 format. Or tab will not know that USB drive is connected....
I know MTP is working, but my question concern the UMS (USB mass storage) protocol. After searching long time on internet, apparently, UMS will never work on tab under stock rom. Thanks but no solution.
I have a xiaomi mi2 device, but i think/hope that my question is more general and related to MIUI Jelly beans rom.
When I connect my phone to windows 7, it is recognized as an audio player device instead of USB mass storage device. Actually I don't know if it is the cause of my problem which is the mount point of the internal memory i.e /sdcard/.
With my previouse phone (LG optimus 2x and MIUI Gingerbread) the internal memory is recognized as a mass storage device under windows 7, and the mount point is at root (i.e / ).
How can I reproduce this with my JB MIUI ?
I have:
root enabled
tried both usb debug mode ON/OFF
installed android SDK usb driver
A friend of mine got this P3110 running stock 4.1.1; a week of usage, she can copy files from her pc to the tab (mass storage), after a week or so, she can't used it as a mass storage device nor we can have it change thru dropdown change USB options (only MTP and camera are present no Mass Storage option). Question is how this can happen? Anyone has any idea what's going on? USB debugging is off. Installed proper drivers (KIES). But now, always asked for MTP drivers and when windows tried to install mtp drivers, not successful.

Factory reset as u might have deleted some framework files
This device only offers mtp and ptp mode. Msc is not supported. Just read the manual
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app

Well, can't find any option in settings on my stripped down JB with Custom Kernel as of now. But I think these are possible connection types:
MTP (Media Transfer Protocol): for Windows Media Player
PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol): to act like a connected camera
MSC (Mass Storage Connection): to act like connected USB drive
As far I remember the GT-P31xx only supports 1 + 2 - not 3. 1 + 2 have the disadvantage that Android Libraries must be updated before files are visible. My experience with this is not good. The manual (for ICS in German) mentions also 3.) but I cannot recall ever noticing it.
If you want to have fast copy actions, then use an external card reader to write to the sd card and then insert the card. This wirks for sure and is the fastest way.
Also check if the device connects well to another PC - problem may not be the device after all, but the PC.

Thanks guys!
I have a problem with a n8020 with root Android 4.1.2, usb debugging enabled, Kies installed on WinXP with its Samsung drivers.
Problem: I enable the device as a mass storage device, but the PC does not see the tablet's internal memory, in practice the pc only sees the microSD as a unit-cd. How do i resolve?
As the title says: Is there a way to connect an MTP device to a Poco X3 via USB OTG? As in the X3 should be the host, the opposite of what happens when you connect in file transfer mode to PC
Mass storage devices (eg. a flash drive, external SSD) work just fine, but MTP devices (eg. another Android phone in file transfer mode, a Nintendo Switch in copy to computer mode) simply don't elicit any response from the X3
My question is, is there a way to get the phone to recognize these, perhaps by means of an app?
(I can root the phone if necessary, but I would rather keep this stock if possible mainly because it's a real pain to set everything up after unlocking the bootloader)
