[Q] USB Mass Storage once again. - LG Optimus G (International)

Hi guys,
First of all i read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002410&page=3 and many other threads trying to find a solution to my problem which is enabling USB Mass Storage on my LG E975 device. None of proposed solutions worked for me, i dont want to use workaround this problem. I just want my phone to be able to work as usb mass storage generic device without need to install any new software or drivers on pc station. I tried many applications, commands and even to use CWM bootloader option, none of those work. Im using CyanogenMod 10.2 stable version but it seems that it has no UMS Support so probably i need ROM/Kernel with ums support. Problem is that im not common with Android modifications and custom ROMs so here are several questions:
1. How i can find and flash stable ROM/kernel with UMS support with Android 4.2+ or newer for my E975?
1.1 Is there a way to flash only kernel? Is that operation safe? How to do that?
2 I read in mentioned thread that enabling UMS on E975 can be a little problematic from a technical point of view, so is there any application that can share just one selected directory using UMS? I guess i still need to have Kernel with UMS support.
Sorry for my english and ignorance if i missed some information that was announced here or somewhere else im just trying to solve this problem for around 4 days without success

2.yes you can flash only kernels(if that rom supports..) its safe as long you are doing it in right way. flashing kernels is same as flashing rom.. except that you dont need to do a factory reset.. instead wipe cahe and dalvic cache is enough...
3. i didnt get your point actually.. on all the roms mentioned above if have installed drivers once you dont need to install again for each rom...

[Q] Upgraded to Leedroid v4 and cannot connect to pc

Hi,
I've searched all over and cannot finf an answer to my problem??? I have just upgraded to Leedroid v4 and everything works beautifully except I can no longer connect to my pc. It is recognized in device manager but the phone doesn't come up with splash asking how I want to connect it, and so I can't use it as a disk drive. The phone still charges though? I have tried ticking and unticking the ask and usb debugging options.
I don't really want to flash back to an older rom but if that the only way ill have to, can anybody help please????????/
I'm sorry, there is no way in hell you have searched all over. It's one of the most known bugs in the version 4 beta from Lee. It's on pretty much every page in the dedicated thread.
This is what you do. Either download Auto mount from Market OR change kernel to Unity's or Lord's. Both those kernels have fixed the USB connection problem.
Thanks for that. I searched the term not connecting to pc on this forum and google and didn't realise it was a mounting thing!
Np mate. You are most welcome.
i Too was looking for the same thing. Thanks a lot mate
The kernel was updated by Lee, you can try the new one from his thread (see my sig). New rom version should come this week.

Need help please

I have a uk orange htc one x S-ON, ORANG001, I unlocked it via HTCdev, no problems, left it a few months till something better came out and found the viperx rom, it said that it needed diff HBOOT, so I followed the guide and put HBOOT 1.36.0000 on phone, that went fine. Installed the Viperx Rom and when it booted, I had no network operator at all, airplane mode was stuck on "turning off" no wireless, since then I have tried to reset and put a diff rom on, no luck at all, everytime I reboot it is stuck on the HTC screen, the one with The logo in the centre of screen. please please please could someone help me to get a rom installed.
Did you flash the boot.img from the viper rom correctly ?
Try a full wipe again,clear everything in the recovery and don't forget to wipe the dalvik cache too, and when you get to the aroma installer of the rom and asks you which kernel you are using. A custom or a stock one ! Make sure you answer the question with NO ! we don't have custom kernels yet
Maybe this helps
Okies I have managed to get it installed, .......SShhhwwwwoooooosshhh, relieved, now i need to get all my apps back on, music and stuff. Do i install the install zips? and then there is an ota update ready also, is this available from Creator yet. Sorry if I am asking the wrong questions, I have 12 hours before I go back to work and I am a mobile carer, so I really need my phone. After this, I will give it a while, before doing another Rom Flash...Lol.
Yes you can flash the viper ota's 1 by 1 and reboot on between. If you let them install automatically and you get an error in the recovery you can flash them manually, they are located in the download folder :thumbup:

Many thanks indeed, updates done and Rom stable so far, also got the donate to update thingy on phone. Just have 1 issue, I use a Lame proggy for easy backup of pictures and stuff, but It will not connect to it via usb to pc, would you have any ideas that I can try, apart from use a diff backup...lol, I just need to retrieve my stuff then I will.
You mean its an app on the phone that backs it up or a progg on the pc that syncs the phone ?
Kinda both matey, theres a proggy on pc and an app on phone.
Hmmm did it work with any other JB rom, or is this the first JB rom you are running. Otherwise my guess is that the program needs to see the device as a usb disk and the JB roms have now MTP protocol and no usb diskdrive options anymore.....
Ahh that might be it then, I suppose there will be no way of getting this feature again is there. Will have to keep a lookout then for a rom that is going to work with the firmware, boot.img and Rom. As today, I tried to install 5 other Roms, and they all failed, or crashed at the htc screen, so the only way i actually got the phone up again was via Venom x rom.....hoping a way comes soon.
Just found this....will await the long awaited Root...
I emailed HTC support directly regarding this issue. Here is the answer I received:
" "I’m sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties with USB OTG on the device. Unfortunately this was never a feature that was intended to be used on the device and there is no way to work around this without voiding the devices warranty I am sorry to say. The work around that will void the devices warranty involves rooting the device with a ROM that includes USB OTG. This can be made possible as HTC has released the kernel source code for the USB on the HTC One X."
"
Pretty conclusive: You have to break your device to get basic functionality out of it. Guess I now have to bite the bullet and learn to root..."
...also a lie because they haven't released the source for the JB Kernel that supports OTG

USB OTG isn't possible on our Desire HD (Well, it was possible on Froyo Sense ROMs) but I believe the Devs are working on it

AOKP MR1 Milestone 1 ROM problem

I installed the AOKP MR1 Milestone 1 rom from this website,but was having problems being able to transfer files over usb.
http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-r...for-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100i9100gsgh-t989sgh-i777/
It connects fine but anytime i try and send a file over to the phone or download something the phone, eventually it locks up and have to reset it.There just pictures and music and not more than 100mb.Is this a known problem with this rom to do that?I have the stock tmobile rom on before but didnt have this issue.Any ideas what might be going on with it?I like this rom and was hoping to be able to use it.thanks
Yes, it is a known problem. Try switching to MTP in storage settings.
phone
I went into storage settings but was unable to find an option to change it into MTP.But when i plugged it in and turned on usb storage mode to try again,i noticed 3 things missing drivers in device manager in windows 8.They each say 'Android' and show up these under 'Hardware ids'.I figured maybe i was missing some drivers so i installed the official samsung tmobile drivers for this model.After that tried to update the drivers to that directory,but guess they were the wrong ones. :/
USB\VID_05C6&PID_9032&REV_0231&MI_00
USB\VID_05C6&PID_9032&REV_0231&MI_01
USB\VID_05C6&PID_9032&REV_0231&MI_02
All i could find were that they were some kind of qualcomm modem drivers.Idk.Is there a rom someone could recommend that doesnt have that bug possibly? tried pacman rom and the new 4.1.2 official tmobile rom but get stuck on the samsung boot screen.Have no clue how to fix that either.If anyone has anymore ideas for a fix i'd appreciate it.thanks
My guess would be that there are drivers missing on your pc for this phone specially. Rather than installing every Samsung driver you can find I use the sgs2 toolkit. Just install the toolkit, launch and it'll configure your system for you.

I ended up installing the stable 4.1.2 rom from here, and everything works great including the toolkit and file transfer

Will have to check out the different option for it thanks for the help.

[Q] MIUI 4.1.3 JB4.2 - can't access sdcard on PC

Hi guys,
I'd like to ask you for a help - I have now installed MIUI 4.1.3 (JB 4.2 based from http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/4-1-3.23236/, everything seems to work fine so far, the only problem I got is when I connect HOX with PC with USB cable - I choose "USB Mass storage" option when it pops up on phone, but nothing else happens. I can't see HOX sdcard folder in explorer. I use latest HTC drivers so no idea what it could be. Thx a lot.
I'm assuming that the kernel does not support UMS. I'm not using the rom so i can't say for sure. But that's my first thought !
