USB transfer from CWM 5.5.0.4 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Trying to get a good usable ROM loaded... while in CWM recovery, where is the setting to connect to my computer via USB so that I can add/delete files?

Nothing like that in mounts/storage or advanced.
I'm just going to restore an old backup.
But I'd still like to know. I know this setting was there on earlier CWM when I was using my EPIC.

[Q] Can't mount sdcard in recovery

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

(Q) System formatted need help

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.

[Q] Complete Device Reset

hey guys,
i wanna completely reset my one x via hboot or fastboot. is that possible?
i have the issue that my system got chrootet to /sdcard/0 and now i have lots of trouble finding my data or using cwm. i cant even mount usb via cwm oder restore my old backups
thx
Why? What happens if you mount usb storage in recovery?
Which ROM are you using?
i upgraded from cm10 to 4.2.1 so my sdcard got chrootet to /0
if i try to mount usb it says "unable to open lumis file" or sth
also i cant see any of my backups in cwm cuz cwm thinks my sdcard is /sdcard, but it actually is /sdcard/0....
i already reinstalled cwm but nothing changed
my rom is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013506&highlight=rc8 RC8 version

Does it actually say 5.8.4.0 in recovery?
Give me the full error message you get. It's "ums lunfile", right?
TT is right ! Flash the new cwm recovery correctly and transfer everything froms sdcard\0 to just sdcard ..... this method definitely work .... :thumbup:

Formatting data will only wipe the system data needed to overwrite your current ROM. It is advised to do a full wipe before flashing so no bugs or glitches happen. The worst case scenario if you don't wipe your system data is that your tablet won't be able to boot up. I advise wiping when installing any ROM. Your internal storage should be safe from harm

Let me get a clearer understanding of your problem. What do you need the USB drivers for? If you want to move files, use ADB sideload. (Google it please).

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
