Hello world. I have xdandroid running on my tilt 2. Im using itt right now to psot this. Newayz, when i got to menu, storage there is no sd card listed I also cant seee my sd cccard when plugged into usbon my puter. However, if i go into terminnal and run df -h i can see that the sd card is the first mounted device mounted at /sdcard. I can also use the cd /storagecard andd then ls to see everything on my card. I need tto be able to acccess files from my computer on my phone to ggetg psfreedom running. Im running the latest stable build (updated through android launcher about 15 minutes ago) any help is greatly appreciated
USB mass storage won't work until we're able to unmount the SD - IE when we're not running Android off of the SD...?
You really need to learn how to use search my friend...
If you download Astro or some file explorer, you should be able to see what's on the SD card within Android. If not, you need to format your card again with the HP Tool, GParted, basically anything but the default Windows one.
If you're having psfreedom issues, post in that thread. I'd also recommend reading that thread.
Oh, and use search!
awesome thanks......no problems using psfreedom just didnt know if there was a faster way of putting files on the sd card.......like not booting into winmo to put files on it and then booting back into xdandroid.......would have used search but was on my phone with edge connection and didnt have the patience...........POSTING A QUESTION WILL BE MY LAST RESORT FROM THIS POINT ON XD.......thanks again
This is a brand new 16GB Wifi Galaxy Tab 10.1 2014 Edition. All I've done is let it update firmware and the multitude of apps that came installed on it. Hardware upgrade consisted of adding a 64GB microSD card. I removed it once I found out I couldn't copy files to it.
I'm trying to copy files to the tab. I'm using the usb cable that came with it. When I connect the tablet to a PC it installs the drivers without error. I go to Windows Explorer and I can see the file system on the tablet. I try to create a folder, (EG in Downloads) on the tablet from windows explorer and I get an error after a minute or so -> "The new folder could not be created in this location. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." This error occurs with and without the sdcard installed when writing to internal or external memory.
The tablet is set up so USB is connected as a media device.
I also tried Kies 3 but results were similar, except that the error in kies was less informative.
Same errors/problems occur from 2 different PCs - a Win 7 Pro x64 and a Win 7 Ult x32.
I'm pretty frustrated now. I've spent a couplke hours messing with this thing. One of the reasons I bought it over a ipad was so I could easily transfer files. It's turning out it worse that Apple & their itunes junk.
I found one way to get files over. Pull the microSD, put it in a USB card reader, attach to my PC, transfer the files to the card and replace the card in the tablet.
SNEAKERNET LIVES!
Just plugged my new 64gb Galaxy Note 10.1 into my Windows 8.1 laptop, waited about a minute to "install software" whatever that means - drivers? Under "This PC - Devices and Drives" is SM-P600. Both the tablet and micro-sd cards are there and I had no trouble creating a new folder and copying files to it for either one. So, no problems there. How is the card formatted? NTFS,FAT32, etc

I did the copy at work and now I'm home. I insert the microSD and all the files are there. Only ths file names are gibberish. This card was initialized in the tablet.
I leave tomorrow am early for a 2 week vacation. This tablet was bought specifically so I could do some reading while on vacation.
This POS is going back. I should have bought an ipad. At least I would have something usable.
Your 64GB MIcroSD card is a SDXC -- you may want to check your card reader to make sure that it is SDXC capable and not just SDHC. If you're using a SD card reader built-in to a PC, chances are pretty good that it's not SDXC.
I just bought a Samsung 64GB UHS-I card for my 16GB Note 10.1 2014 and even though I have four different card readers (one of them just a couple months old), none of them can read or write to a SDXC card. So I plugged in my tablet to my USB port on my PC, and even though I know I have the latest Samsung drivers on it, it didn't recognize it as a storage device. I switched it to being a "camera" in the settings of the tablet and my desktop found both the internal 16GB card and the external 64GB card and I was able to copy all of my data from my other tablet's 32GB SDHC card over to the 64GB card that way.
Just FYI, I'm the only one in my family of six who has an Android tablet -- my wife and four children all have iPads, and I've had to setup/configure each one. I would rather slam my own head in a car door 25 times than configure even just one more frickin' iPad. Each one I encountered something completely different, there's little to no help on the internet (can't tell you how many times I was told, "You'll probably have to take it in to your local Apple Store's Genius Bar" for EVERY...SINGLE....ISSUE....I....ENCOUNTERED. And I'm not even USING these iPads -- I'm just trying to set them up, get them synced with long-time iTunes accounts, etc. If you want an iPad, go for it. Good luck!
I have no issues copying to my 32 GB SD card or the internal memory in the tablet itself. I should mention my 32 GB card is formatted as exFAT. Also, make sure your tablet is unlocked when you initially connect it. I found out with my galaxy note 2 that if I have a passcode on it and the device is locked, my pc will not recognize the storage present on the device until I unlock it.
It's b/c the file you're trying to copy over is corrupt.
I use ES File Explorer. There is a place to open shared folder in the network
You can also use Samsung Link so you don't have to use a USB connection. It provides root-level access on the mobile devices and PCs it's installed on.
Go to settings then General then "about device" tap on the build number 10 times and you will see Developer options appear. in developer options click USB debugging.
Hopefully this will allow you to see your sd card and you can then move files freely between your computer and the tablet.

This. Why are people doing things the hard way? I've been using ES for years to copy files from smb shares. Works perfect.

Not to steal the thread but this brings up a question. I used to use ES but it started popping up after every install or update. I deleted it. Is there a way to stop that from happening?
Thanks....

That was a bug. Lasted a few weeks and the dev fixed it.
It was a corrupt file... Guaranteed...

Hi everyone!
I was looking around for an app that could share my SD card with a computer via USB Mass Storage protocol, but no success. There were apps for other phones, but they didn't work for my phone :/ So I've created something for my own, and I hope it will work for your phones too. My app works only for external SD card.
REQUIREMENTS
* Rooted Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini (GT-i8190). This app may work for other devices too, but I can not guarantee that.
I have tested it against:
* Android 4.1.2, firmware JZO54K.I8190XXAMD3
* Windows XP SP3
* Windows 7 64-bit
Not working on:
* CM 10.1
KNOWN ISSUES
* USB PC Connection will still display MTP/PTP mode, even if the mode is Mass Storage. I could fix that issue, but this will require permanent configuration changes, which I would like to avoid.
* Other USB modes (especially ADB) are disabled during UMS mode. This can not be overcome.
USAGE
* Launch the application, click Enable UMS. This will unmount your external SD card from the device, and when the card is unmounted, app will switch USB mode. You should see two new drives appearing in My Computer window. On the second one, your SD card data should appear.
* When you are done, eject (unmount) the drive in Windows.
* Click Disable UMS. This will switch USB to the state it was before enabling UMS, so MTP/PTP mode, as well as ADB will be back. Then, your SD card will be mounted in the phone. An MTP Application prompt may appear, asking to restart MPT application. You may answer what you wish
IMPORTANT NOTES
* Never mount SD card in the phone (Settings->Storage->Mount SD card) while it is shared with a computer. This will cause the card filesystem to be mounted concurrently by two operating systems, and for sure cause data lost.
* Always eject (unmount) the card from a computer before disabling UMS.
* It seems that results (especially glitches and hangs) vary depending on the SD card you are using. See this post by myself.
HELP, THERE'S SOMETHING WENT WRONG
* You may restart your phone. The app does not make any permanent configuration changes, so it's the safest option.
* Restart your computer.
* Unplug and replug USB cable.
* You may try to disable USB, wait for several seconds, then either enable it again, or from the system USB PC connection app, change the mode to PTP, and back to MTP. Be patient, and wait before performing next operation.
* Be patient. From time to time, the computer takes a lot of time to detect device going back from UMS to MTP/ADB.
* App not working. Describe the symptoms (app crash, phone crash, computer crash, nothing changes, etc), your device details (operating system version and build) and attach logcat (adb logcat -d -v long > filename.txt) logs.
P.S.
I would kindly ask moderators to move this thread to the appropriate subforum, if it is already not. Since I'm newbie, I can not post to Developer's forum. Thanks

Do you copy from the SD card, or to the SD card?
If you copy from, have you tried opening some files directly from the SD card? Do they open?
If you copy to the SD card, did you unmount it in Windows before disabling UMS?
I have just tried copying in both directions, and files do copy properly.
Hi f_ranek
App is working well, but hungs PC copying from PC to SD and vice versa with files more than 690 Mb, hope you could fix it, it will be very usefull, well known advantages from ums mode.
Thanks for your job.
Do not go on CM10

Actually, there seem to be some timeout issues. For instance, first I tried copying big files, and it seemed that everything hung, with strange Windows messages. So I disconnected USB cable, disabled and reenabled USM mode, and replugged USB. Then, I copied 40 MB to my SD card, but before the copying starts, I had to wait for a quite long time (about 30-60 seconds). But, surprisingly, after copying that 40 MB file, I have copied 80 MB file, 200 MB file and 700 MB file without any troubles and additional waiting! And they play well on the device. For your record: I was using Win XP SP3, and Total Commander 6.53. Tomorrow I'll try on Win7 64bit.
I'll try to tune a little the configuration, but have no idea if this will change something.

First of all, you are using quite unsupported by operating system. CM is Android, but is very different from the stock one, that device manufacturers put on their devices. Now, I have no plans for supporting CM - maybe find an app dedicated for CM, or ask CM developers to put back UMS mode natively, without any hacks. Because yes, UMS is still there, but hidden in UI, and all that UMS apps are doing is just guessing where and how, and hacking your OS.
Second, if you are using CM, it means that you are quite powerfull user. And I hope can read with understanding to install CM. So please read my post, and attach logcat (adb logcat -d -v long > filename.txt) logs. Sorry for my irony, but if you want to get help, you must first make a little effort.

Thank you very much, inadvertently, this application works on 4.1.2 original stock
Hi everybody!
Recently I did some test with Windows 7 64 bit. The tests were performed on fresh system (the phone was plugged for the first time), the phone was plugged directly (no USB Hub down the line), and I've always switched to UMS before plugging the cable.
If you don't want to read such a long post, skip to the emboldened bottom line.
First, I've tested my regular SD card, 2 GBs labeled Kingston. I've copied 1 GB of files from the SD card to the computer, without any trouble and at average speed of 14 MB/s. Then I wanted to delete those files. After selecting them, and hitting Shift-Delete, I got delete progress dialog, which hung up leaving 1 file (out of 6) undeleted. At this point, access to SD card seemed to hung. I was unable to cancel the operation and close the dialog, as well as refreshing of the My Computer window took significant period of time. So I decided to unplug the USB, and replug it again. After that I noticed, that the files I wanted to delete are gone. Then, I copied back 700 MB file to the SD card. The copying avg speed was 3-4 MB/s, and the CPU utilization window (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495763) showed big blue bar.
Second, I replaced the SD card with another 2 GBs, labeled Japan. Then I copied 3 files (40 + 80 + 30 MB - no more space available, and no unnecessary files to delete) to the card. The copying was smooth, with little glitches before or after each file copying. The avg speed was 10-12 MB/s, and the device haven't indicate increase CPU load (neither green nor red or blue bars). Then, I tried deleting several files in a row from a directory, still without any glitches.
Edit: testing now, on Win XP, and through USB hub (does it matter?) does not work so perfectly well :/ I got one hang during folders deletion, and quite a long glitch before copying of several folders started.
Third, unlabeled 2 GB card sold (probably) with Nokia 6303i. First, I wanted to browse file system on the device. The performance was really bad, I was only reading files and traversing directories. Suddenly, all the file names changed to random characters (no writes performed by myself), and the phone indicated file system error, and unmounted the card. When I tried to share it with PC, windows said that the card is not formatted. The same phone, when trying to mount it back. The card can't be read neither on Nokia 6300.
Last, but not least - unlabeled 128 MB card got with my Nokia 6300 back in 2008. The phone indicated unformatted card, or unsupported file system. The same with Windows 7 accessing it with UMS, and Windows XP accessing it from the SD card reader. But, the card can be still read by my Nokia 6300, however, it's name is a little crapped. Moreover, I can access it from Windows XP using that Nokia in UMS mode!
So, the bottom line is
everything seems to depend on the SD card you are using.
Another story: the same micro SD card accessed via UMS in Nokia 6300 - very good performance, accessed via SD card reader with micro SD adapter - terribly bad performance. Another SD card accessed via the same SD card reader - very good performance. So as you can see, the same SD card, different reading devices - different effect. The same reading device, different cards - different effect.
Im not able to install on stock 4.1.2 i get problem parsing the package
Dears
i tried to copy the image and organize my SD card from the computer by connect the phone to computer (Win10 -12GB) but it's freezing even when i try to create new folder it takes forever, any suggestions

Yeah there is some bug in the phone when creating new folders. What works for me is that create a new folder don't rename it add files and rename it later. I hope that helps.
It's happened to me ever since Google disabled write to external SD in android 6.0. Unfortunately all you can do is make the folder on the device itself or flash a kernel that disables write protection.
Thanks Guys , but what about file copying its also take forever !!!

Bad cable maybe? I can copy files just fine. The only problem I have is with creating folders with custom names.
I've been having those same issues: creating a folder takes 30-60 secs. I expect MTP (or whatever) to be slower bit that seems a bit ridiculous. I think it only happens on the first access as subsequent folder-creation goes more quickly.
I've had files "sorta" copy but I think that was a permissions issue; seems to work fine after I somehow (I wish I could remember how so I could tell you) got the prompt to grant access (I'm no longer thinking MM's way of handling permissions is a good idea--I'd rather get the prompts on install rather than not at all).
This is on two brand new phones with their respective cables and 128GB UHS-I Class 3 cards.
I did just copy my initial TWRP backups from it just fine, only took a couple of minutes over a USB2 connection.
I think I was setting the storage location to the SD Card in Titanium Backup when I got the clunky permissions-granting thing popping up; perhaps try that.
