Hello, I'm not sure if it's a bug or something but lately I have issues connecting OPO with my PC via USB.
Thing is, everything works fine except for the fact that DCIM folder is shown as an empty folder. And no matter what I do, every time I connect my phone that folder is shown as an empty folder.
Every other folder can be browsed normally, media in other folders is visible.
1) no, folder isn't empty
2) no, connection it's not in charging mode. No matter if I set it in MTP or PTP mode, same thing happens. DCIM folder seems empty.
3) tried on couple computers, win7 and win10 os, same thing.
4) doesn't matter if I connect my phone while it's active or in sleep
OnePlus One has latest CM13, it's not rooted.
Any ideas?

Why don't you try connect it via any other medium?
For example,

I'm not saying it's a permanent solution but atleast an alternative for now.

It happened to me too, and I solved with a file manager (I used ES File Explorer Pro).
I created a new "DCIM-new" folder, moved all DCIM contents to "DCIM-new", renamed original DCIM to "DCIM-old" and, finally, renamed "DCIM-new" to DCIM. When reconnected to PC in MTP mode, DCIM content reappeared in Windows Explorer.

Thank you, it's pretty nice app. Would be better if there is something like that but to recognize your device within your local network. Because now I'm limited by my up/down provider bandwidth.

Haven't tried that yet, I'll try and see if it works. Thanks :good:
Did that today and it worked. But somehow it lost 600 files after renaming folder back to DCIM. Old folder had little over 2000 files, now it has 1409. Have no idea what happened.
Was having the same issue, what you have to do is simply plug in your pendrive (if you have one)through otg cable and just copy paste your files to your pendrive and then to your computer.

Everything WAS working fine. Then suddenly none of my images in the 100MEDIA folder will even show up. They wont show up in HTC Browser nor will they show up in File Explorer. Explorer shows there are no files in there. I thought they got deleted so I took the SD card out and put it in my computer. Sure enough, every file is THERE. Whew.. I backed them up and re-inserted into phone, then booted phone back up. They still aren't showing up. One problem I noticed was that I had a duplicate 100MEDIA folder in the root directory of the storage card. I forgot I made a backup folder one time and forgot to delete the copy I moved. I noticed on the computer that every picture that was saved in the main 100MEDIA folder , duplicated itself in the copy folder. Yes, even the most recent pics I took long after I copied that folder. I deleted that copy and rebooted... still, they are not showing up. I took 3 pics earlier today, the very last one is in the 100MEDIA folder, but the other 2 are missing. They arent even on the device memory. I dont know where they went.
How do I get the images to show up again? What is screwed up? There is no longer a duplicate folder. Yeah, I had figured somehow the dup screwed it up. I just don't know why I cant see any of the files in there now.
Never mind, I fixed it. The dupe didn't screw it up, the folder just wouldn't show up, now would any of the files. I had to delete it, then open the camera , set settings to save in storage card, take a pic then go to view it in the browser. No idea why it did this. Wouldn't even see the files using File Explorer.They were there, just wouldn't show them. Dumb. Apparently some WM phones had this problem in the past on the Touch Pro and Touch. Deleting the folder is the only way to get it to work again.
this can happen if you unplug your TP2 too quickly from the pc/laptop, Tp2 wont see the sd anymore and will create anohther SD folder (empty)...just could be man...good you got yours fixed

Hi
I rooted and unlocked my one plus and then ran a backup for my EFS Partition using Terminal Emulator app. This created 2 files, modemst1.bin & modemst2.bin, which are on the root of my internal storage. I can see these files on my Root Browser on Phone. However I connected phone to PC and can only see internal storage. I have USB Debugging enabled and MTP. I also De-installed the drive and re-installed and still cannot see it. I tried different ports and also a different USB cable but still the same. I want to copy these files to my PC to have as back up
Anything else I should try?
Thanks
Are you able to see any other personal files/folders on your phone?
Don't have access at the moment but from memory it just showed folders like music, download. data, DCIM etc I think.
I was thinking if I could copy the files using file manager on the phone to one of the folders I can view then save these on my PC. That work? Would still like to know why I cannot see root files on my PC
Thanks

Yeah, I think you'll need to put them into one of the folders and then you should be able to see them using your PC. As to why this happens I have no idea though.

Do you know of any way to enable root viewing of the internal storage? So that I can just use Windows Explorer to view it?
deleted , death post .
Nvm
I used to be able to do this with my Galaxy S5, though that was always on Windows 8, I'm on 10 now.
When I connect to my computer to find my backup folder it is just a blank white icon that is 0kb, but if I look at it with ES File Explorer I can see everything fine. I see no way to upload a folder through onedrive or drive and ES File Explorer won't let me share over 100 files. I have over 600 files in the backup and I don't want to have to manually select all of them.
What is going on? How can I back up my back up to my PC? All other files and such are easily accessible through the computer
Thanks
EDIT: Fixed, if anyone else is having this problem, create a folder from your computer, then move the TB folder into that folder that was created on the computer, and then it should be able to be copied from phone to computer
DEVICE - NEXUS 5 (un-rooted)
PROBLEM - DELETED storage/emulated/0 accidently
I connected my phone using usb to computer, phone connected as a device and nexus5 icon was created with other directories, I clicked nexus5 icon and then clicked internal storage folder which has all the folders made on phone like music, downloads, android etc. As I was cleaning my phone of redundant folders and files created by apps. I came across folder naaed storage, it has another folder emulated which in turn had file named 0. I thought of it as a file created by some app so deleted (Shift + delete) it. All the images of my phone i.e DCIM, whatsapp, screenshots etc got deleted and phone memory got free. Now my Google Music app can't read my songs present on my phone. I just re-booted (restart) my phone and nothing is resolved.
Now, I connected my phone to compugter via usb, nexus5 icon is shown but when I click it "folder is empty" message is shown.
Please help to get files back and resolve whatever issues (i.e Google Music unable to read songs present on phone) have occured because of deleting that file

Those files are gone man, u might have been able to save them prior to rebooting the device but they are gone now and your going to need to flash the factory image in order to fix your file system, devices have a certain structure of creating file systems, that's why they tell ppl not to delete anything if your not absolutely sure u know what your doing, so like I said, those files are gone, u may be able to get your pictures back if they were backed up using Google photos, but u still need to flash the factory image to fix your file system

I noticed this too. Then I installed FX File explorer and it gives an access denied message when trying to access that location. I ended up wiping my phone to start fresh thinking maybe something was botched after the update. I plugged my phone into my PC to transfer some files I had backed up and noticed that I have full access to Android/Data on my PC! It is full of files and you can copy and paste from there on your computer. I guess Android is trying to protect that location as there can be vital information stored in that folder. Hope that helps.

apparently according to Samsung the Android data folder is encrypted on Android 11!
Can you copy files to Android data from PC?
due to this restriction it is not possible to use the AppSystemizer module
