Hi!
Im running the latest CM10-Version (FXP211) from FreeXperiaProject on my Xperia J. I searched the hole settings-menu for an option to enable USB mass storage mode. When I plug in the USB-cable there are only the options "MTP" and "PTP". Where can I enable the mass storge mode? Or is there really no msc-mode in CM10 for the Xperia J?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, as far as I know, MSC capability was removed from stock android since ICS.
I've tried many solutions, but none worked. (It is pain in the neck on Linux, where MTP support is close to nonexistent).
For now, i'm using playstore apps syncing via ssh, and sometimes USB debug and adb push from android-sdk

Damm! You're right: http://code.google.com/p/freexperia/issues/detail?id=1343
Thanks for the clarification!
I have a rooted Nexus 5. MTP and PTP refuse to work. Doesn't matter how I install/remove drivers or anything. I've tried every trick on the internet and no avail.
The PTP storage used to work when I didn't have root, so what's the deal?
Could this be due to my rooting process? To be honest, I don't remember how I rooted. I'm new to the Nexus scene, having come from a samsung device.
However, I was just having this issue with my older E4GT (GS2 variant) when running rooted/custom roms.
Now, I have a friend with a S4 who decided to get rooted/custom roms and is now having the same issues, except before, both his MTP and PTP worked!
I'm lost and losing hope for this stuff.

Is the device showing up under Device Manager (which would indicate that the driver is installed--see #2 here)? This is not a "root" issue. I've run rooted devices for over three years and have only had the problem in the early days with the Pandigital Novel. Have you used USBDeview to look at what you have for USB drivers and to make sure all drivers are being removed? Try another cable and another usb port. Some cables don't handle data, they just charge; cables are a variable in the process.

Yes, I've tried all three of those things. This seems almost to be mission impossible.
I am running rooted stock and my friend is running a new rom altogether. using different computers, but getting the same issue.
See, while I can get Fastboot and ADB to work without a hitch, I can't get PTP or MTP working AT ALL.
ADB and Fastboot seems to be the only thing people are focusing on, and that's not my issue... so It's even harder to find solutions online

So it does show under device manager? Have you right-clicked and updated driver? Step #2 in the link pointed to USB drivers rather than adb. Yes, adb Is the usual culprit, but I've seen quite a few reports of your problem lately. Usually, removing the drivers and allowing the PC to reinstall works. Have you tried wireless to transfer files--at least a temporary solution?
If you're interested (desperate enough) to do a factory reset, I'd recommend WUGS toolkit. It will wipe do backup everything. Revert to stock and unroot. Then root and install custom recovery.

Happened to me when i rooted the device with wugs. I think because I used the RAW drivers. Just uninstall adb android driver from device manager and all the other drivers that resembles the nexus on usbdeview, reboot . Then put again the usb in the pc , and you are ready to go

I have tried that too, but I end up with the same outcome. Same drivers I would normally have installed and give me no recognition of the device for file transferring.
Fortunately, knowing how this goes down, as it has happened before with me and my S2, I'm not desperate enough to factory reset. As I would ultimately reach the same issue.
I've been interested in wireless file transferring, but I much more prefer not having to upload the file to something like dropbox or manually setup a server. I'm more into the press-and-go (similar to the plug-and-go method... haha, get it?... made a funny there cause it relates to a cord ordeal) routine.
I haven't actively searched that route yet because I'm in hopes that there is a fix for this problem. I'll get to it if there really is no other choice. So, if there is a program that will allow me that ease of access, I'm open to suggestions!

Seeing this makes me question whether I'm confusing the purpose for each of these drivers or you haven't read what I wrote. However, our circumstances differ. I didn't root through conventional means of the toolkits, I just came across it through my search for driver issues. I have tried the method you are suggesting, as the toolkit driver installation steps take me through that step before I do anything else; but this doesn't work. I end up with the same outcome: Device is recognized and drivers are installed (if I allow windows to automatically search for them), but no PTP or MTP for any file transferring.
ok, silly question : Is it enabled on your android phone? under memory ->tap the 3 dots and you will see mtp/ptp try to uncheck and check.
Otherwise I don't really know anything u could do about it.
By using the NRT or toolkits to root, all of the pc's usb drivers were deleted and new/generic/universal ones installed to re-install custom recovery & achieve root. Go to Control Panel on the PC, do you see Portable Devices listing including the Nexus 5 ? Most likely, no - only Android Interface.
A simplistic approach that worked for me is to roll it back - if you are using PC running Windows OS, use System Restore to go back to a previous state to an earlier (earliest possible) time before - with the N5 disconnected. When the PC is restored, turn OFF USB debugging on the N5, connect via the OEM N5 cable - it should be recognized, then turn ON USB debugging if there are missing drivers - let Windows search & install.
At some point, N5 will be recognized as a Portable Device along wit Android Interface, and "Auto Play" would pop up, with full access to all the SD folders & files. Toggle MTP and PTP if necessary as it might install more drivers - you should be good to go.
Reboot the PC just to reconfirm that everything is back to normal, connect N5 and profit - enjoy.
If this work, please share & if it doesn't - please comment what didn't work.
The simplest and shortest way to connect google nexus5 with PC as MTP(Media device)
When I plugged it, there wasn't any yellow exclamation mark within Device Manager. So for me, the drivers were OK. But the device was not listed within my Eclipse DDMS. After a little bit of searching, it was just an option to change in the device settings. By default, the Nexus 5 USB computer connection is in MTP mode (Media Device).
What you have to do is:
Unplug the device from the computer
Go to Settings -> Storage.
In the ActionBar, click the option menu and choose "USB computer connection".
Then select Media device(MTP) or Camera(PTP) based on your requirement...
Plug the device and you should have a popup on the device allowing you to accept the computer's incoming connection..
I hope this will help!
Hi All,
I recently rooted my SGS2 with I9100 4.1 neatrom v6.3 extra-lite, (since i dont use most of g-apps)
The mass storage mode was set default and was working fine until one day i connected using MTP mode.
Now the mass storage mode requires to be selected everytime from USB utilities. How to fix it as default?
thanks.
I dont think you can. I dont remember seeing it in the stock rom, so unless its a feature of the custom rom youre using, i doubt you can do it.
On another note: a update to 4.4 Kitkat should increase performance. 4.1 is rather old after all and there are plenty of 4.4 based roms out there
Hi there, I own OPO & a few weeks ago it stopped connecting to my pc/laptop as mtp. It only charges when connected as well as ptp also working but ptp only shows pics folder, can't access whole device folders.
Everything is done like developer options, adb, debugging, drivers, reset, new roms etc but it no use in terms of mtp connect
Can anyone here plz solve the problem of is there any way to connect OPO to pc/laptop as media storage??!

I have an s6 that has no functioning screen, visually or touch....I would like to recover some images/files off of it if possible...I have adb installed and tried to get it to connect, but I think it's not working because USB debugging is not enabled on the device..
What steps can I do to recover the data?
Thank you!
Try other apps similar to adb, although I am not sure if they can be used without USB debugging, so look for Recuva and MyJad Android Data Recovery
