[Q] Retarded File Transfer? Mass Storage Capabilities - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I recently got an E4GT, and it for several months, i'd been running custom ROM's etc, all of which were Jelly Bean roms on 4.2.1+. However, while using stock on this replacement phone, I've run into the problem that there's no way to transfer files on this phone anymore. When I connect the phone, there's an option to switch between MTP and PTP, which USED to be fine because I could actually transfer files, however with this phone and update, I try to move music, pictures, docx, pdf's etc and nothing works. All I see is empty file folders.
How can I transfer files again???
This is what I get when I try to move a folder
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is what I get when I actually open the folder
Now, I understand why USB Mass Storage was changed to MTP/PTP, however what I don't understand is why this was added if it wasn't going to work?? And since it doesn't work, how can I transfer my files so that they do work?

Have you tried rebooting your computer then seeing if it works.
Ir if you have a memory card just pull it out and put in the computer to transfer your files for temporary fix.

Try using the AIO mod, or a custom TouchWiz ROM with it included (almost all of the GB27 ROMs have it). This problem was fixed a long time ago.

Using gScript Lite for Dummies

So i'm running ParanoidAndroid ROM on my phone and have flashed at least 8 ROM's to my phone, each time praying I don't lose my IMEI since there seems to be no rhyme or reason why people are losing it. So I finally decided I should backup my IMEI just in case. I chose to use Geek's method to do so since it seems the easiest way to do it, however, typing out the lines of script manually seems awfully tedious so I decided to try to use gScript Lite. Problem is I have no idea what the hell i'm doing.
This is what I have done so far:
Installed GSL on my phone. Installed Notepad+ on my Windows 7 PC and copied and pasted the lines of script to NPP, one for enabling diag mode and one for disabling diag mode. After copying each set of script to NPP, I saved the file as a .sh file. At this point I think I should move said files to my sdcard and import them via GSL. Does this sound about right? I have no clue here and am just winging it but would like some input from those who know what's up before I fuxor my phone.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
**Edit**
I went ahead and saved the file to my sdcard in the gscript folder and imported them and created the scripts

[Solved - Found Problem] Camera Awesome not so awesome?

Looks like a good app... but when I tried to use it I get the message at the bottom of the screen:
Insert an SD card before using the camera.
I have an SD card and the stock camera is putting its images there. I have tried switching the settings to internal to external and back and I get the same error. It obviously won't let me take a picture because it thinks there is no memory??
I have also cleared the cache, app data with the same results.
Anyone else have this problem?
App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smugmug.android.cameraawesome
Whats interesting is that it says it is designed to work with the Note 3.
I am stock rooted.

WorksForMe. Stock rooted as well. external 64GB SD is exFAT this time vs FAT32, if it matters.
Same setting, same issue, strange.
Fixed or rather, cause found which fixed it.
This was a Me problem.
So... while looking a new app that I had loaded it was having issues accessing the Internet... found that it was being blocked by Xprivacy.... hmmmm wonder if this is affecting the Camera Awesome app.... Quick check and yep... For some reason storage was blocked.
I thought I had looked for that before, but after correcting that, the camera works fine. Exploring what it can do now.

[Q] ADB Backup not working

I have used ADB backup before and have 2 backup files saved. i am trying to backup my Galaxy Note 2 and it wont seem to work. It is running 4.1.2 stock rom. I have rooted it since my last backup and now it doesnt seem to work. I have tried with SDK tools updated fully and copied the adb files into the correct folder. I have also tried deleting all sdk files and only updating to 4.1.2 and it still doesnt work. I have done it before using the command prompt but this time it seems to fail.
It recognizes my device and my device has debugging mode on. But when I run the backup command as I always have it says unable to connect.
Any suggestions or help? I really want to backup everything since I almost just bricked my phone by spilling water on it. But got it cleaned and used Odin to get it working again. I want to full backup just in case it bricks out again.

Anyone have any ideas? If not another way to fully backup everything? My phone is rooted.

Win 10 - PDANet problems with LG G3

Hey all.
I've recently got internet problems here and I've decided to use my phone as a modem, like I've been doing in the past with previous phones.
However, now I got a laptop with Win 10 and an LG G3 phone, and is giving me quite a headache.
Yes, I already uncovered developing options.
No, I have not rooted my phone ((should I?))
Everything runs smoothly until the last part of the installation when this happens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Ironically, I can open my phone via file explorer no problem, and transfer files back and forth to the internal & SD card folders.
I even transferred the .apk for the PDAnet installation to the phone and installed it there manually... but every time I enable the USB mode it crashes miserably and I have to restart.
Any suggestions? advice?
Many thanks in advance.

You don't need pdanet. Delete it completely, reboot, connect usb, enable usb tethering, let win10 install stock drivers. That's all.
i could do that.
but then sprint will charge me for tethering.

[Q] Help on Missing Files and Folders

I have noticed something weird with my device. When I connect my device into a computer or laptop running on Windows 7 and then view the contents of my "sdcard folder" or the /storage/emulated/0/ directory, there are some files and folders that can't be seen.
Those files and folders, however, can be viewed in an explorer app within the device such as Root Explorer or if I access my device from my computer through SSHDroid using WinSCP or command terminal like Putty.
I'm attaching a screen shot of what it looks like.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Do anyone here knows what's the issue in here, what caused this, and a way to fix this?
I'm running on stock rom 6.0.1 build number MMB29V, and my device is rooted.
Thanks in advance!
open Media Storage settings
clear data
reboot
@{fd}ware, I had the settings in Windows correctly. I learned from further reading from other sources that this isn't about the Windows Explorer settings. It was about the media storage rebuilding or refreshing.
Just like what @k23m responded, I have to clear media storage data and reboot the device to rebuild it.
