Hi everyone, I was just about to install the latest CM9 kang on my new Galaxy Nexus, and I can't seem to activate USB storage in ClockWorkMod recovery. It's the standard non-touch version, if that matters... the one that installed automatically with the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit v5.3.
When I try to activate USB storage, I get "E: Unable to open UMS lunfile".
Now I'm pushing the files via ADB instead, which is a bit of a hassle.
Is this normal? Or do I need to do something special to enable USB storage in CWM? Do I need a different version?
I don't think you can enable storage in clockwork mod.. Boot your phone up, and then connect it to your computer to push the files.
OK, thanks. Any idea why UMS (or MTP, don't really care what protocol is used ) is unsupported in CWM? No time to implement it yet? Or is there a technical reason that it won't work?
I'm also having this issue with my GT-I9100. I select the USB storage option, plug the cable into my PC and nothing happens apart from Windows recognising a device has been connected. But no storage device appears in My Computer.
Was using CWM v5.x (can't remember which version anymore).
Still haven't found a solution, so I restored to another image I had backed up thankfully.
It just simply not implemented in CWM at the moment ... would love to see Koush add it in the future it'd be very useful
The GNex does not support USB Mass Storage mode at all.

Maybe you have installed a clockworkmod recovery touch not compatible with your phone. Maybe it is optimus_prime-touch-v5.5.0.4-6-GSM.img ?
Because it is for the Asus transformer prime. I didn't see any official cwm recovery for the Galaxy Nexus with USB Storage capabilities (I mean OTG, not UMC, that are commonly mistaken)

I can confirm this one.
I flashed everything, with a full wipe, and then tried to move the JB zip image from computer to phone (in cwm recovery boot, with mass storage) and I couldn't manage to acomplish that.
I googled, and it seems that mass storage in cwm doesn't work with GNexus..Anyway, I got an error in console when I tried to activate mass storage.

It's true that Galaxy Nexus doesn't support UMC because the sdcard is a subfolder of the data partition instead of independent, like in the Galaxy S2. But I was talking about OTG, it is mounting an usb pendrive to save cwm backups there.

Hi,
I can't mount the "sdcard" when I'm in recovery, I just get an error like this: "Unable to write to ums lunfile"
I run the latest CWM on a Galaxy Nexus GSM.
What should I do to get this working?
I am having the same issue, if I try mounting usb storage or sd card I get "Unable to write to ums lunfile"
I'm using v5.0.2.7 and I want to know if it's the version of cwm or whether it's my phone.
Help please
The phone does not support USB mass storage., therefore it will not work.

so how can you flash roms.. ?
What? You use MTP to put roms on the phone.
hey people, i've lost some data (precisely a file .dat that was containing all my messages) and would like to recover it, but if i can't mount USB Mass Storage how can i recover this file? Is there an app that recovers from MTP and PTP devices? thanks very very much, it's really an emergency!
Is there any way to access the internal storage whilst in CWM?

NO. I found this out a while back. Because as stated above the Nexus uses MTP and not USB to connect it is not possible to see your internal memory in CWM.

So, if a solution arises, it would be from the side of CWM, right?

I don't think so. I think it would be Google would have to allow USB support. Then CWM would work.

Couldn't CWM "just" enable MTP support in their recovery?

If you mean the content of /sdcard:
Shure, boot into cwm recovery, mount data and you can find all your sd card/user data via adb under /data/media/.

It does. I'm just looking at it. Get adb in recovery working and see for yourself.
I think they're saying it doesn't work in the traditional sense. ADB does work though, as shown above

You are right, mounting as UMS doesn't work. But Janzomaster later asked "Is there any way to access the internal storage whilst in CWM?", which you can (via adb).
Well, just hitting a button and you can access the files through the explorer would have been perfect. But adb is a good alternative to have
This litte app comes in very handy: https://qtadb.wordpress.com/
GUI for adb, including file explorer -> perfect for CWM recovery
I system formatted my phone and without remembering that I deleted all the roms off my phone I noticed that I have no rom to use on the phone now. Obviously at this point my phone wont boot up and its stuck at the HTC Evo screen. At this point how can I transfer a ROM from my computer to the phone? Note this is without the ability to boot up my phone. Thanks

go to recovery if your on Amon RA its a option called MS-USB toggle enable it it will mount your phone as disk drive and then plug your phone into your pc and youll be able to transfer a rom over. If your on Clockworkmod its under mounts and storage and should be MOUNT USB i believe
Thank you so much! I searched on the internet for a while but no dice. Hopefully some one else will see this to solve this problem.

Just regularly boot your phone and you should be able to either transfer directly or download the file on your phone, if you have data to spare. Using apps like Root Explorer will also let you manipulate 'emulated' and 'pre-emulated' storage if that's a problem you're having.
Install drivers
Learn ADB commands
Or
Learn sideloading
adb push if want to use adb
adb sideload using recovery if you having issues with push.

you'll never be able to mount usb storage on internal memory. this would mean the whole storage to be unmounted from system and mounted to windows. not gonna happen,since the os is on the same storage. hell,not even my S4 doesn't mount internal storage.it's logical,don't you think?it's only mounting external sdcard. not the case for optimus G,since it has not expansion. like a fellow xda member said above, leard to get along with adb.
thanks guys for the answers, it is my first phone without sd slot
I have lost all my files in Phone storage, by mistake i have don a factory reset enabling format phone storage
Tried almost all post to recover data files. since my phone is loading as MTP in windows no recovery software is recogonising it.
Need help on this.
Is there an option to re enable USB mass storage ?. i tried almost all posts regarding this from XDA and other forum which didn't work for me.
is there any software which recognize MTP devices and recover data files?
All posts have suggestion like enable something. I need a real solution which work on HTC one X JB 4.2.2.
Somebody please help.
Are you able to use custom recovery?
Are you able to use fastboot/adb commands?
I suggest you download Phil'z recovery, and flash it through fastboot, then mount USB storage, copy your ROM to sd card, and then flash it, as you would ususally do.
My OP3 unlocked and TWRP flashed , internal storage formated to f2fs, when I tried to connect with PC not connected, adb devices - no response. Unable to connect with computer. No files in internal storage, Any other way to transfer files to internal memory?
OTG also not working.
You should be able to transfer files to the device with TWRP booted. It's how I clean flash my device. I booted into TWRP, wipe everything, reboot the device back into TWRP, then transfer the fresh files and flash.
I'm also pretty sure internal storage isn't one of the partitions you should format to f2fs. Last time I heard it's only data and cache you should do it for.

Try connecting the phone in bootloader mode.
If your phone is identified, you can flash recovery once again and proceed further.
Another option if phone is connected in fastboot would be to flash the image files with fastboot flash *** commands
As the previous poster said, internal storage would not be in f2fs. This is just a wild guess, but may be this is the reason it is not showing in windows? if you do not have anything stored, perhaps you can change the file system back to ext4 and check ?
Updating the drivers might also help....

Are the Adb drivers properly installed on your pc. If not than just search the threads for one plus drivers and then try to connect through ADB.
Do you have USB OTG cable.. You can connect that to device and transfer the files using TWRP file manager in Advanced options.
I just connected my op3 via USB cable and then adapter and to my Nexus 6 then I transferred files from there. No computer needed.
