i have, on sprint, the galaxy s3, NOT the i900 or whatever that means. mine says model number SPH-L710
i have it rooted with the phantom rom installed, with superuser permissions. however, not sure what happened
but for some reason, i can no longer transfer files, any files, from my pc to the phone. this includes pictures,
music, documents--anything. the files are my personal files and music i ripped, and never had a problem
copying before, and all this just started. unless im hooking it up wrong, which i doubt--using the usb cable from
pc port to the phone directly. it does show the charge icon, and in the usb settings, usb debugging is checked
and also checked on media device (mtp). another option which isn't checked is camera (ptp), unchecked.
what happens when i try is, on the pc i get a box that pops up and says--do you
want to copy (file name), your device might not be able to play or view the file. i do have 2 options, to skip or copy
anyway. well when i click copy, it goes through the motions, but its not on the phone. no matter what file i try, a
pic, small wav file, etc....just will not copy and no
where one the phone is the file. another issue that seems to be going on is, the best way i can
explain it is--when the phone is hooked up to the pc, is it possible for whatever it is thats running to make the
phone able to receive copied files, go to sleep? because another error message i get when trying to copy is
it sits there for awhile, then eventually says "device not responding, disconnected" and on the phone itself its
on the main home screen like i wasn't doing nothing.
ive rebooted the phone several times, same results--nothing wil copy to the phone....
sooo, what am i missing?
update--- since that post, something else now happened. the phone flashed on, saying "sd card not mounted"
when it is. it is in the right way and all that, but when i go into settings/storage...at the very bottom it says
sd card, insert sd card
lol...so what the heck is that all about? the card is definatelly in there, and astro file manager shows some
files on the card but........
Well, it could be a couple of things.
First of all, make sure you have the Samsung USB drivers installed. It could be a corrupt driver, but probably not. It won't hurt to reinstall it, anyway, just to be sure. Here's link:
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...nt_L710_GSIII_Samsung_USB_Driver_v1_4_6_0.exe
Make sure your phone is not locked when you're trying to transfer files. If you have a PIN or a PATTERN lock enabled and it locks, it will disable the MTP application from trasferring files.
Try reflashing the ROM as well. Maybe the MPT application got corrupted somehow?
As a last resort, you can restore your phone to stock unrooted status and see if that resolves the issue.
I had the same thing happen to me. I fixed the problem by going into device manager and clicking on to mtp and updating it..

I had the same thing happen to my SdCard and now it is kinda dead... before yours gets damaged, remove it and insert in a PC with a sdcard reader. Run command prompt (Start>Run>cmd and enter) and do a scan disk or check disk by entering "chkdsk /x /f driverletter:" use the drive letter assigned to the sdcard then enter, let it do it's thing.
This will fix the file system and you shouldn't more problems with the sdcard not being read. As for the MTP, do as the other member said and try updating the MTP device in in device manager or uninstall the drivers and install directly from Samsung.
Hi Forum members,
I have a HTC One X with JB. Since the latest Synch Manager (SM) I am not able to synch anything other than Phone Storage. This is because SM doesn't see anything else. At the same time in Explorer I have a folder Internal Storage. This is the folder I also want to synch (partly). So now I can't synch music and pictures, because they are on the Internal Storage.
Anybody has any ideas how to resolve this?
Furthermore before JB I could choose what to do when I connected to my PC: only charge; use as HD; synchronize; tethering and another option. Now I don't have that possibility and tapping "USB connected" on the 'drop down' list only gives the option to change settings for tethering.
Ones again: anybody has any ideas how to resolve this?
Greetings,
Zooi
Did you update SM to the latest version ?
Yes, I have version 1.1.65.0 and the program tells me I have the latest version.
Uninstall and reinstall maybe ? Or you could mount the device in Recovery Mode so it appears as USB Mass Storage instead of MTP
After uninstalling I downloaded the latest version from the HTC website. This appeared a new version: 1.1.66.0!
Now the SM not even detects the phone :crying:, let alone finds the Phone storage or the Internal storage. So nothing is synched and I still cannot change the mode on my phone from "Charge only" (I think, for I can't see in what way the phone is connected to the PC) to "Synchronize".
I also switched the phone off and back on again, but it changed nothing.
In "My Computer" I can see the phone, but only the Internal Storage. Where is the Phone Storage?
So I'm still not able to synch the phone in the SM program. Suggestions anybody?

No idea on your first question, but the above behaviour is normal. In Android 4.1 (and above) MTP is used to connect to the device rather than mounting it as USB storage. The only way to connect it as a mounted USB storage device is to do it in recovery (as someone already suggested).
But the recovery mode can only be accessed through a rooted device? Mine isn't rooted.

Yes, sorry. Assumed since you were posting on here you'd be rooted.
Anyway, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34660458
Still uses MTP but reading the thread it sounds like it'll let you access internal storage. I've not tried it since I'm not on Windows anyway, but might be worth a shot.
Same here sync manager does not work on mine. However, windows media player work fine.
I just install the sync manager for the driver.

Thank you all so far for trying to help. Nothing worked, so I still can't access the phone storage and SM doesn't synch other files than music and pictures.I guess I have to manually copy files from internal storage to my PC.
Greetz,

Internet pass through don't work
Internet pass through don't work !
I can sync music between my PC with HOX, but no internet pass through via usb cable!
I have v. 1.1.66.0 Sync manger installed on my PC!
Any solution? Thanks!
I've had my HTC One X for 2 days and I want to ask if this is a normal behavior or something is wrong. When I connect the phone to PC via USB I can access the files only using Windows Explorer. It appears there under "Portable Devices" as "HTC One X". When I double-click there is folder called "Internal Storage" with my files in it. But, is it possible to mount the phone as a regular disk drive (with disk letter assigned, for example E:\), so I can browse the files using Total Commander? I've tried different USB ports but without success. I believe my drivers are working fine.
I've been looking over similar topics here but everyone was talking about looking into "Connect to PC" option in Settings. But I don't have such an option in my Settings! Is it normal? My old Desire had it and I could choose Charge Only/Disk Drive/USB Tethering etc.
When I plug my One X to the computer, the "USB Connected" notification pops up. But when I click on the notification, there are only Hotspot, USB network and Bluetooth options. Nothing related to connection type. See troll.sk/random/scr_usb.png
I've tried turning on/off the USB debugging, but it's still the same.
Is this normal behavior of Jelly Bean 4.1.1?
Edit: when I access Clockwork mod there is an option to mount the USB Drive. When I select this option the internal storage of the phone magically appears in my computer as a regular disk drive just as I wanted. But it's possible only in recovery mod, never happens in normal interface.
Yes... It has been changed after jb update.

Yep this is normal. Google is changing the way that device storage is handled, and as a result this new way has been rolled out by HTC in their JB update. The device will be mounted as a MTP/FTP device instead of the traditional USB storage method.
There is no way that you can mount your device as an USB storage (as E:\ drive, etc.)
BUT, there are a few other ways that you can do this:
1] If you have rooted your phone, you can mount your phone as a USB storage via clockworkmod recovery.
2] If you have NOT rooted your phone, you can download an application called AIRDROID from the market. This will wirelessly allow you to mount your phones USB storage.(But works ONLY on wifi)

I've been trying to transfer the files I took from my Galaxy S4 and saved them to my computer, to my G3. When I connect the G3 to my computer, I only see 2 files in the "Internal Storage". It won't recognize my SD Card either. Is there a setting I may be missing, that will allow me to see other folders? I can't copy and paste anything to my Internal Storage. Thanks for your help.

Hmmm...I tried to upload the pics from my desktop and I get this message. "Failed to upload. No write permission on sd card."
I have to turn on the camera mode for it to transfer. It won't recognize anything in MTP mode. :/
I wish I could do all this without using AirDroid. It won't show the phone in MTP, but in PTP it will, but only 2 folders on the whole phone, no sdcard. And I can't directly put anything on the phone.
I had a problem with my D855 MTP mode as well. Folders are all there, but some files are either missing, or reduced in size. I cannot copy them out to PC. In these folders, I also cannot copy files into them. What I did to resolve the problem, is to reboot the phone with USB cable attached to the PC. Then, before the phone can complete its boot up sequence, I will have some time to copy the files in and out. It is really quite troublesome.
MTP troubles?
This is what's worked for me (D850/at&t):
Install LG United Mobile driver for ADB support
Enable USB debugging in developer options on phone
Verify MTP mode is selected
Connect USB and accept RSA signature on phone
I know that ADB isn't particularly necessary for MTP, but in my experience with roms on the old Nexus (for which I used Google's ADB driver), it was a sure bet every time. gl

Thanks for the suggestions guys. But it seems like my phone refuses to be recognized in MTP mode. And only partially recognized in PTP. I think I may have to do a hard reset this weekend. :/
I went back to Best Buy yesterday and returned my phone and got another one. And now my file transfers work. I guess I had a defective phone. I'm glad everything got back to normal.
I also had the problem that I didn't see my SDcard, but when I disabled debugging mode I suddenly could

Your usb stick is not a computer, it does not need to read your phone with MTP protocol.
The phone should provide power to the USB stick, exactly as it is saying, so that your phone can read the contents of the USB stick.
Get a File Manager like FX to transfer items to and from your USB stick.
I have the same problem. It always says usb charging and I could not transfer pictures to my usb using the usb-c/usb adaptor. I tried using file manager app but I get confused with all these asking permissions and I end up unable to transfer anything. I never had this problem with my S7 edge before. I tried connecting the phone directly to the mac using android file transfer but could not connect. I would really appreciate if someone can give us a more detailed steps on how.

I tried that I have ES file explorer like "edsol" said it won't mount the stick because it's in charging mode
I tried several time to switch it off of charging mode but always flips back after a few seconds.
if "edsol" has the same problem then I guess it's not just my phone........there must be a fix for this??
I had the same situation, and I had to format the USB stick in "exFAT" to be able to copy files to it. NTFS is supported only for reading, but not for writing.
So check that your USB stick is not NTFS.
FAT32 and exFAT are the same, the difference is that exFAT doesn't have the FAT32 limitations (maximum file size of 4 GB)

Thanks...but it is exFat......I did a reformat just incase.......still a no go ??
you probably need some file manager to do what you want, Android sucks when it comes to manual file management.
Anyway I have ES file explorer loaded on my phone, so plugged in USB c to USB2 adapter, put in 32 GB FAT32 memory stick, ES file exp. open up and I transferred couple files from stick to SD, just to test it if it works. It did, but you would have to pay me a lot of money to do it on regular basis, so awkward. I just plug my phone to PC and use windows click and drag to move files around. Now I run into problem, when I was transferring my pictures, couple days ago, F???? Android lock my sd card for no reason (F????? Google is messing SD cards on phones since at least kitkat). I had to fix sd and take write protect off, but I'm sure it's Google not Samsung. Anyway, it works like a charm, just watch out for Google's broken permissions showing it's ugly head.
What File Explorer are you using? Some of them can't write to external storage because of Marshmallow permissions.
"My Files" of Samsung worked for me while "ES File Explorer" didn't work (before root)
I used ES File Explorer, I'm sorry I said wrong in my previous post, I moved couple files to phones DCIM folder, not SD, it's so awkward and I just wanted to see if it works at all, it did, I confirmed the files were moved, before deleting them. So actually I don't know if it would work on SD card, but I would never ever transfer files like that: I would use my pc laptop for direct transfer between SD and stick. So the concept I described works, but as far as permissions to particular folders go, they're so messed up and don't even want to test it again against SD. In theory it should work at least for transfer to root directory, since card is not protected, may not work for transfer to folders created by other programs due to permissions. At some point I may have to root this phone just to fix those stupid permissions, but I haven't used Marshmallow until now, so not sure how broken those permissions are here.

I've tried a few file programs including My Files..........but the usb stick isn't recognized because it stays in charging mode
so can't even attempt to transfer anything....this is frustrating !!
