[Q] Mounting One X as disk-drive

Hi
I recently got the office Jelly Bean update for my One X, but I have one unsolved question.
When I plug my One X into my PC I can't get the internal storage to show up, neither get a menu on the phone to select which mode I want to use. I have managed to get it working in Ubuntu by enabling USB-debugging under developer tools, but neither my Windows 7 laptop or my Mac will do this. They just mount a CD-drive and the only thing I can do is to install HTC Sync Manager. This is frustating as I use a Windows Server to store photos and videos from my phone. The server operatingsystem wont install Sync Manager, and honestly I don't want to install some software I don't need.
How do I get the disk-drive functionallity back in Jelly Bean?

I don't think you can, I use WiFi file transfer pro to exchange stuff on my phone/pc

I understand what you mean by not wanting to install software not needed. Maybe this will be the solution to your problem. I the "[ROOT] One Click HTC One X (AT&T/Rogers/Others) (Win/Mac/Linux)" here on XDA I found a link to the driver only. Maybe this can help you... :fingers-crossed:

I tried using the drivers from the link, but unfortunately they didn't work.

If your phone is rooted you can do it via CWM.

Airdroid uses wireless connection. My computers don't have wireless access.

The JB update enables MTP and disables USB Mass Storage. It should show up in My Computer under 'Media Devices' or something like that. You can view all the contents of the internal memory there. This is the way it is on Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4 and other devices.
MTP compatibility is flaky on Linux and OSX but is built into Windows 7 and works fine. The One X with JB should behave just as described. If its not showing in My Computer at all then something is messed up. Maybe a factory restore will fix it.

You're absolutely right. I got he JB update yesterday and i had the same issue. As it turns out, there are 2 links in Windows 7 in "Computer". One is to install the software but the second one talks about portable devices. Go in there and you will find an option for Internal Storage. It looks like an imitation of Apple iPod where you access the drive that way... Anyway, thanks for the solution.

or you can boot into recovery & mount usb storage from there thats how i do it with TWRP recovery

I eventually got my MTP drivers to force-install correctly by changing the USB network mode to Internet Pass-through. This was the only way that Windows would forcefully look for drivers and HTC Sync manager finally recognised it after this.

I don't understand, does your One X appear like it used to now in My computer? just as a normal disk drive? not this stupid, stupid new way, with limited right-click menu options, no thumbnails etc?

[Q] Root, OTG, and USB Storage Questions

I know my way around fastboot, adb, command line pretty well, but I just got my N7(2013) last night, so in that sense, I'm a Noob.
Questions:
Can I just root with SuperSU without TWRP? Or will the stock recovery not let me do that? i.e. is there a signed SuperSU? I would rather keep my stock recovery, if possible.
After I root, do USB storage devices connected via an OTG cable "Just Work"? Do I have to manually mount them? Does it enable a Menu?
Is there any way to enable USB Storage (The other way, when N7 is connected to PC) once I root? Is anybody working on this?

Suggest you do
fastboot boot twrp.img
instead of flashing twrp onto the tablet's recovery partition
This will run twrp temporarily to install SuperSU's update.zip but will leave stock recovery on your tablet untouched.

Recognition is automatic. Mounting is not. So yes, you need to mount them. Whether you do that manually or through a helper app like stickmount is up to you

Doubtful. N7 doesn't have a real sdcard partition formated fat32. It has a simulated sdcard kept in the /data/media folder. MTP/PTP are the only ways Google wants to support storage going forward.

Thanks, sfhub;
Great trick about running twrp once.
That way I can have root, and my stock recovery.
Thanks for the other info, too.

No MTP or Storage show on PC
I am running windows 7 64 bit and I have managed to get root on my new Nexus 7, but now when I plug my tablet into the PC it says on the tablet connected as media device, but it never shows up anywhere on my pc so that I can transfer files on to it. The nexus 7 never shows up as an extra drive or as an media device. Please help. can not seem to find any info on this problem. the usb icon at the bottom of the screen does say eject nexus 7 when I click on it, and if I have usb debugging turned on it says ADB device connected but I still can not see it anywhere on the pc. Please help

Are you running stock or custom ROM?
If you running stock, you can try disabling USB debugging or try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391236
If you are on custom ROM, it appears there may be an MTP issue with some ROMs.

Yes I am using the stock rom .all I did was root it and I have tried with no success with usb debugging turn Off as well. I have even tried to uninstall the drivers I used to root the tablet , but can not find them to uninstall or delete them

In devmgmt.msc the device is either listed under
Android Phone
Imaging device
Portable device
Unknown
Do you see any ? or unknown devices?

In Devices and Printers in the control panel its listed under Unspecified as Nexus 7 but you can not do anything with it there but right click on it and hit eject or properties and it says Google Nexus ADB interface ___ Android Device ___ status working properly and that's it .In Device manager it listed as Android Device ___ Google Nexus ADB Interface.
I Got it Thank you Thank you. I was able to uninstall the drivers there in the Device manager, unpluged the Nexus 7 plugged it back in it install the correct drivers and I am now able to mount my device as a MTP device and transfer files. Thanks again for the Help.

I put Android File Transfer on my Macs:
http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
and gmtp on My Ubuntu Ultrabook, and on my old Xubuntu desktop.
I put the SD card in the Ultrabook, and copied everything I wanted to the N7(2013).
In all cases, it worked pretty much plug and play, but I still consider it a work-around.

[Q] Nexus 7 (flo) not connecting to PC????

im not sure if ive been looking in the wrong places but i cant find an answer to my problem. so i rooted my nexus 7 about a week ago and installed twrp. everything was working fine until i accidentally pressed wipe data instead of factory reset. i deleted EVERYTHING on my tablet including my operating system, the only thing left was twrp :crying: today my otg usb cable came in and i installed that unofficial cyanogenmod build and now it wont connect to my pc. i have usb debugging on and everything. i go to device manager (on my pc) and it is listed as "Nexus 7" but when i try to install the usb drivers it says that they dont work for it. how can i get the usb drivers to work again?
Note: its not my pc cause my rooted s3 works just fine with my pc.
sorry for being a noob! and thanks for the help!

I actually have the same issue where my Windows won't let me navigate my N7 as a portable device. Tried a whackload of drivers and the like to no avail. To transfer files I just end up using ES Explorer. Funny enough, ADB in recovery works just fine.

If it is the same as PA and PAC, try Settings > Storage > Press Menu > USB > Check MTP

Were you on stock before you wiped? Trying going back to stock and see if you can get MTP working, then start introducing the parts until you figure out what broke.
The USB IDs for the MTP device change more often than you'd expect causing recognition problems.
For example, on stock, with USB debugging enabled, it advertises one USB ID and also sends out a MTP-compatible flag. When USB debugging is disabled, a different USB ID is sent, minus the MTP-compatible flag.
I helped someone on a different ROM force the MTP device drivers to associate, but then the drivers couldn't initialize the device. This might indicate there is a problem on the ROM side.

If your ADB works in recovery then you must have installed some other adb device driver, other than Google's, at some point.
If you want I can try helping you get things recognized on this thread

PC won't recognize internal memory

PLEASE HELP

Have you tried disabling USB debugging and enabling MTP mode?
You can also try the MTP driver inf here:
[FIX] MTP with USB debugging / ADB within Recovery (windows/nexus7)
You can also try using USB Deview to uninstall the drivers and have everything reinstall. Sometimes that kicks everything into gear. Just sort by creation date and uninstall everything that says Nexus 7 in the last few days.

Hello gentlemen,
i got the tablet for three days and all was fine.

my tablet is detected as Nexus 7 with exclamation or as deb also with exclamation,
I tried to install nexus 7 usb driver, but it didnt find any device to which it could install the driver.
USB Debugging is enabled, if i disable it, nothing is detected.

No you aren't screwed, you really got to want it to break it. Just so I am clear then it won't show up as an external hard drive or anything unless you do a peer to peer setup? Also are you running the newest nightly of CM?
"I had to turn off USB debugging, delete the ADB drivers in Device Manager, then reboot the device while it’s still plugged in. Windows recognized the device as an MTP device & installed the drivers before it even fully booted."
Found this well reading on it not connecting to the pc. Simple enough to try out.

Yes sir, I can only see it as PTP or MTP, nothing else.

Should MTP be enabled when rebooting the device?
What i should achieve by doing this?
EDIT.: after restart of device it's trying to install AOSP on deb, unsuccessfully.

i thought that MTP is the only option to connect it to the pc because its sdcard is emulated on the same partition? my galaxy nexus and nexus 7 can only do MTP too, unless in recovery where i mount it somewhere along the lines of mount as usb storage?

You could be right, i don't know, i copied custom rom immediately after i got nexus, so i didn't really watched how PC see the tablet.
Anyway i successfully flashed back original firmware 4.3.1 and after reboot suddenly Nexus 7 is recognized correctly
and it automatically install driver from folder where i got usb driver from google. So .. i will take a few days pause before i flash custom rom again
Thank you all for helping me in this.
Cheers
