Okay so my SD works on my phone, but when i connect to compy it says:
E:\
application not found
I uninstalled a bunch of apps thinking they wernt useful, when this happened.
So what apps are needed for Mass storage mode? Thanks
Well sir. Do you have the appropriate drivers installed on your computer?

Was working fine untill I uninstalled the apps :good:
Re-installed Xperia-NXT light edition and the same problem arises o.o
Yes there is app that allows your pc to detect the android device mass storage. If you need to access to your content inside the sd card you must use an sd card adapter. Otherwise use a CWM backup.
Alright in CWM aswell in Mass storage mode it doesnt work.
ROMS before dont work either.. something with my computer?
I've had driver problems something with the pram in macs. Hard to say but did you backup your phone to a point it once was working?

Did you try a different usb port?
Sonygenmod
Hey all,
So I've been having a problem with Mass Storage mode as well. But I fear my problem may be ROM related. I'm running Sonygenmod, and the only access to my phones sd card is through Media Transfer, which isn't nearly as nice or effective as mass storage. Anybody know what's up?

Hi there,
Dont suppose anyone has found a way to be able to write to the external SD whilst using JP3?
It's annoying me that I have to write to the Internal, then copy everything across to the external using Estrongs.
Help!!!
Connect with Samsung Kies with USB debugging off and it'll work just fine. It mounts your SD's like a drive on your PC.
How come I'm not able to just connect via usb as mass storage then?
Is there kies for mac? That's where my files are kept.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
It works with root explorer as well, but there are no simple ways to do it.
This is actually one of the reasons why I don't use the JP3 atm.
I am not going to develop it any further as the Easy UMS app now supports i747

Issues:
1. Only mounts external SD card. This is the limitation of the bazald's scripts. If in future the scripts allow for internal SD card, I'll modify the app for that.
2. On starting the app, the app assumes that you are in MTP mode.

This isn't working for me, and I'm guessing it's because the mount location of the external card is specified explicitly as /dev/block/vold/179:97 (as in bazald's script). It would be better to cut it from the output of the mount command, as in the (mostly) US-compatible version of SGS3 Easy UMS. To wit, replace
Code:
echo "/dev/block/vold/179:97" > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun_ex/file
with
Code:
mount | grep /mnt/extSdCard | cut -f 1 -d " " > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun_ex/file
in the UMS enable script.

If you can point me to the right script/mounting directory. I can do it. + I am not on CM10/AOKP so you'll have to test it for me.
This is very useful, thanks!

Thanks so much! Works great on stock, rooted T-Mobile T-999 :good:
Didn't work for me. Tries to mount in MTP mode, then tries to install a driver and fails. It started to install a mass storage device driver at first but then switched, I can't get it to do that again. Would love to make this work.

Yeah windows sometimes messes up the driver part.
"If Windows fails to find the correct driver, go to the Device Manager and manually set it to use the driver, "USB Mass Storage Device". It seemed to try to stick with the MTP driver in my case."
Check the script thread for more pointers.
Thanks for the response. I'll give that a shot now.

I'm running Jellybro's CM10 August 4th nightly on my AT&T Galaxy S III and it worked fine for me.
Can't mount internal SD card after using app
So I'm probably doing something wrong, but here is what happened.
Starting from a rooted stock ROM, in MTP mode, I ran the app and turned it "on". The external SD card popped up with no problem.
I was able to load my music etc. and it worked great (thanks for that).
After I was finished I unmounted the SD card from my computer and turned the app "off". I disconnected the phone from the computer.
I reconnected the phone to the computer, selected PTP mode and my internal SD card showed up but only for a second. I could not access it. I switched to MTP mode and it didn't work (as expected since I am using Linux). I tried every combination of off/on, MTP, PTP I could think of and nothing would give me access to the internal SD card.
As a last resort I ran the MTP.sh script using gscript and everything went back to "normal". I could mount my internal SD card in PTP mode.
I manually ran the Mass Storage.sh script and the external SD card popped up. All good.
Did I screw up something in using the app in the first place?
Thanks for the great work. I just want to figure out if I should have done something differently. If you need additional info let me know and I'll send it your way.

I tried it on my machine (windows 7 64bit)
1. Connected phone in MTP mode
2 Launched App, and turned it on. SD card showed up.
3. Ejected the card. Got a notification on phone saying MTP needs to restart. Clicked OK. Phone showed up in MTP mode again.
4. Switched to PTP. Worked perfectly.
The only thing I see different is the MTP restart notification. Just wait for it before you disconnect.
Thank you very much! works great!
I can now use my work internet to get my media on my device
thanks :good:work's perfect:victory:
I got it to work in my car, but then my SD card got corrupted. I formatted, and now I can't get it to work...odd.

When I hit the button for "On", my MTP device disappears and nothing new shows up in device manager. I'm on Win 7 64 bit. Using AOKP rom. I know this worked because my car was able to read it...

How did your SD card get corrupted by the way?
I think it got corrupted because it was mounting and un mounting to my car when I was removing and plugging in the phone while playing music. But since then, I can't get it to work. I can't try the mass storage trick because I don't even get a device on my win 7 to try it on. The mtp device disappears and nothing new comes in when I hit the on button

I cant seem to find an option to use the Galaxy S4 as USB mass storage, only media device (MTP) or Camera (PTP) is available. Cannot find any USB options in the settings either.
How am I able to copy files from and to my SD card and/or phone HD?
I appreciate any helpful posts. Thank you!

with MTP my device doesnt show up in Mac, as well as my Sony TV or LG receiver. what to do?
Is there anyway to disable MTP and go back to mass storage? Also, is the SDCARD MTP as well?
Mass Storage is gone for good... and while it sounds bad, there's a good reason..
Using Mass Storage forces the storage partition (or external sdcard) to be unmounted by Android, so any data/apps/widgets on there are no longer available until you disconnect your device from your PC. Using MTP allows the data partition to remain mounted and available concurrently on both your device, and on your PC via USB.
1) No, you cannot get UMS back.
2) This belongs in Q&A.
3) For Macs, you will need this.
Questions go in Q&A

The auto-unmount is ok...

"there's a good reason" is somewhat subjective. To me the great benefit to the more general usb mass storage option is so you can connect the phone to any device as if it were a usb flash drive. No driver issues, no worries about camera or MTP mode, no Mac issues, no linux issues, no Windows issues ... it's just a usd flash drive and can be treated as such. I am ok with the side affect of auto-unmounting the sdcard from Android when I connect the phone to another device to use as noted USB drive.
Is there in fact any way this will ever come back?

There was an app someone made for the GS3 that did some filesystem trickery to expose the storage as UMS (needed root). I'm sure something like that will come around that works on the GS4 too.
I had the same issue until I installed Kies, no issues after that

How could anyone possibly know if it will come back, especially "in fact?" My guess is you would have to ask Samsung that question to get anything other than a guess or an opinion (which would be NO) but it's not "in fact" just "in an opinion."
I jumped from an S2 to the S4 and was also annoyed that USB mass storage wouldn't work either. Since I use Linux as my desktop, MTP is not an option "out-of-the-box". I therefor turned to an awesome app (that I heard about on this site!), Airdroid. Now I was able to quickly get an album/picture/book datastore onto a shiny new 32GB microSD! And yes, I know I could have put the microSD into a slot on my laptop, etc., but I shouldn't have to, just because I choose to use Linux!
I mean, its rather ironic not to be able to use Linux to connect to Linux (android), don't you think? If I'm completely wrong about this, please someone point me to the right path.
Thanks
There is a "hack" to allow the external to be read as UMS. Also, the internal sdcard is no longer yaffs2 its ext4 and only linux knows ext4. So if you were to use UMS, only a linux computer would "see" the sd card and nothing else.

elesbb,
That's awesome news! Thanks for the tip. I use opensuse (currently 12.3) with kde, will definitely make the necessary tweaks to get this going in dolphin.
Thanks again!
Ignore. Posted in wrong thread.
If you are rooted and busybox installed yes there are lot of apps on play store that can convert your externel SD Card to Mass storage.
My phone sometimes doesn't update my SD card files when I connect it via USB to my pc, while is on MTP mode.
Let's say I create a new .txt file on my sd root, or anywhere on my SD card, then connect it to the pc, the file isn't there. I have to switch to mass storage, and when I do that, my phone reboots because JB has a real problem with mass storage and no one could f*ing tell me what is the problem with mass storage and JB roms, even when they have no problems with it, and then it works and I can really see the files and folders updated.. Any idea about what may be wrong with my MTP?
Also, it just does update when I reboot my phone.. but the rest, nope. up!
That happens
I thinks it's because in MTP mode, not all the files are read again
Maybe try unmounting sdcard and then mounting and then connecting

But how is that it happens to me just in JB? I have had no problems with MTP before.. Unmounting SD card gives me a reboot, so I guess it does the same as my useless mass storage :l
Does anyone know any tweaks to mount their LG G4 as a Mass storage device ie turn into usb stick? (not MTP)
I did a xda search tried a motorola hack which unsurprisingly didn't work. Maybe someone smarter than me has already done it THANKS!
I also tried this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297888 it is an app on play store USB mass storage enabler. It mounts a SD but no sd is present. Maybe because my card is exFat?
hey buddy try that App its awesome you can use it to install windows on pc no more usb sticks https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.softwarebakery.drivedroid
Thats awesome thanks! It works, but not how I was imagining.
Is there any other apps which make your phone function as an sd card reader?
