phone usb not recognised.

Im trying to connect my phone to my computer but when I connect the usb it doesnt allow me to mount the sd card. It just charges but nothing appears in the naotification bar. It used to work fine but now it doesnt let me connect my sd card.

Same problem here, it used to work... but not now. I tryed to uninstall and install again companion but did not solve it

I know that this ain't the solution but you could look into Wifi Syncr as a means to transfer files to your phone.

I can not mount my sd-card with Ubuntu, do I need some drivers and stuff?

Edit: He he he, I fixed it myself by changing to MSC USB-connection.

Go to setting>sonyericsson>connecntivity>usb connection mode change it to mass storage mode.then ur phone will prompt u usb connect to memory card,just select connect.
Happy try.

[Q] Use clockwork with no .zip on sdcard

I am trying to update my gnex to jellybean and in the process of doing so i forgot to put the .zip files on the sdcard. I have a functional cwm in recovery mode but have no files to install. Is my device done since i have no sd card slot or is there a way to transfer the files to the phones internal storage. My pc wont see the phone as an adb but will as a fastboot device. Any suggestions? Please help!

You need to make sure your drivers are set up properly for ADB. Do this by being booted in CWM, and install them on the "Android 1.0" that pops up in Deveice Manager. (Use 1wayjonny's universal driver in the dev section.) Once that is done, move the zip over to you sdcard by typing: adb push <name-of-file>.zip /sdcard

If you have adb setup.
Go into mounts and storage and Mount /data
Then
Code:
adb push nameofrom.zip /data/media
Then unmount /data and you should now see the rom you forgot to put on the phone.

In Cwm try going to mounts and storage > mount usb storage and connect to your pc then transfer the file over.
Maybe that'll work?

If you are on a WiFi you could download the files on your phone...

If you are on a WiFi you could download the files on your phone also you may send it by Bluetooth if your PC has it...
But adb should work too, if correctly set up

[APP] [ALPHA] External SD card Mass Storage APP

I am not going to develop it any further as the Easy UMS app now supports i747

I have made an app to toggle between the two scripts suggested by bazald in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768752
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.

Update:
Mass Storage Beta 2: Mass_b2.apk
Changed the way sdcard is mount to

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.

Can you make one for cm10/aokp?
Different mount directory I think.

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!

Works on T-999

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...

Try this ^^
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

Broke my Mass Storage?

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?

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?

Can't find SD card

I've just installed my first ROM ICJ 4.2.2 which is great. Apart from the fact when I plug my phone into PC it won't show up to put music photos etc on. And in the storage settings it says I only have 468mb free on external storage. I have been into recovery and tried to mount the SD but nothings working. Please help sorry if extremely noob question.

this happened to me last week actually. When I went to settings/storage it only showed up the app storage and not the internal storage.
What I did was a bit extreme and scary, since I only just started flashing roms 2 weeks ago. I did a factory reset and wiped EVERYTHING in recovery including the sdcard and system, then I used an all-in-one toolkit to push the boot image and the rom through adb sideload. I used the following excellent post and flashed twrp recovery, as clockworkmod doesn't support adb sideload, apparently, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904
Maybe as a last resort you could do it, it worked for me. but I would wait a day or two to see if someone with a bit more knowledge can suggest anything.

Thank you for you help i can see sd storage the seetings>apps but it only says 468mb is there anything else i do or will have have to wipe and start again??

That 468MB is your app storage partition... (apk)

Mount your usb storage from a custom recovery and backup the whole SD on your pc, then boot into the rom and mount the SD on your PC then restore all the files.
Or simply, move all SD content into the "0" folder or whatever its called in your rom.

How did you sideload the boot.img?
AFAIK you're only able to sideload a .zip-file.

Didn't word that correctly, the toolkit flashed the boot image in fastboot and then pushed the rom through sideload. I don't use toolkits now though, find it much easier using fastboot and adb commands
