Hi, I'm having trouble when using USB mass storage mode on my Kaiser TyTN II with Android Froyo.
When I connect the phone can't see the SD contents from the FAT32 partition.
I have flashed on my TyTN II the latest 2.6.32 kernel from here, and i'm using the Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS16. I have partitioned my 4gb SDHC using GParted to 3 partitions, one of ~3gb in FAT32, next to one in ext2 of ~64mb, and the last one in ext2, of ~1gb for the system.
Strangely enough when using Ubuntu Linux, it sees ands mounts all three partitions without problems. And when inserting my SD to a card reader on windows, it sees the FAT32 partition and I can browse it, but I want to do this with the card on my phone and on windows.
What can be wrong?
You can't do nothing, actually Adb driver for our kaiser is not working on windows...
I'm testing now on my Windows XP laptop and it works... strange.
My home computer is running Windows 7 (and ubuntu) can't it be a problem of w7?

Oo are you serious?
ADB was fixed in the latest version of l1q1d's kernel, but is still incompatible with Windows 7. At least, in my case it doesn't work in Windows 7, causes my computer to freeze until I pull the plug on the phone.
2.6.25 kernel has nice compatibility for Dual Mount SD Widget, check if Super Froyo supports .25 kernels. For me Not So Super Froyo is doing the job on .25 kernel. Default USB Mass Storage mode never works. You can use Dual Mount SD Widget to do the job
For adb, I had no problem with it on .32 while I am using XP.
HUGE EDIT:
Now I understand
Windows can ONLY ONLY see the 1st primary partition on your Removable Flash drive. Plus, linux FS are not recognizable for windows. (you can use Partition Magic or a linux FS supported partition software to actually view them that they exist).
If you want to partition your SD Card in windows, just install HITACHI Microdrive Driver for your SD Card's removable storage and it will identify as a removable hard disk. (I actually did that to have 3 partitions on my 16GB Data Traveler )

Well I already knew that, but I want to see at least the FAT32 partition for application install, loading mp3, and occasional data storage.
I'm only a couple of days in the android on kaiser world, what is ADB? I read that you need some drivers to make it work, and can be used to install apps etc. but when I connect the phone it doesn't request me drivers unless I select mass storage mode. On Windows 7 it sees it as a Disk in device manager but can't see the drives. On XP it has no problems, it can browse FAT32 part.
So if Android is exposing the phone as a mass storage drive why it doesn't work in 7?

Because android's itself "Turn on USB Mass Storage" mode doesnt work. Use a Multi Mount SD Widget or Dual Mount SD Widget or SD-Share to do the job
ADB is: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html
Just a tool to remotely administer your android device from command prompt
Try installing Hitachi Microdrive Driver in Windows 7 and see if it does any better

Thanks for the tips. Are you suggesting that installing the Hitachi Microdrive Driver (by the way, I noticed that it's intended for Windows XP) could help in mounting the device using Android's built-in mount option?

Hitachi microdrive driver is intended to identify your Flash Drive as USB Hard Drive to see all partitions correctly in windows and allows you to partition your USB flash drive
Nope it wont help, since .32 kernel has not supported USB driver which hinders the USB Mass storage functionality, even through Dual mount apps.
If you are using Kyle's FAT Free Froyo or Not So Super Froyo, install a .25 kernel and then use Dual Mount USB app. It will work for sure.
Another Work Around:
If you just want to move some files to SD Card and you connect your network connection through wifi, you can try ES File Explorer to view Windows Based File Shares, just like you are seeing shared folders from another PC I use it since I connect my mobile and my PC through a wifi router
Hey guys, I am trying to mount my internal storage from within TWRP because I messed up my Kernel settings and want to flash a new Kernel and/or Rom and need to copy it to my phone. I do not have an external SD card yet, so I am stuck with the internal memory. Device Manager has an unknown device called SAMSUNG_Android and I cannot access the storage. Any ideas. I am running windows 8 64-bit

I can't get USB storage to work in TWRP either.
It works in PhilzTouch Recovery. You can flash that through Odin (Unless you have the flashable .zip saved on your internal storage, in which case just flash it in TWRP) and then use PhilzTouch to mount USB and transfer the ROM file over.
This is a littel cumbersome, but it'll work.
I didn't like kies and want to operate my phone internal memory as mass storage mode on any computer.
How do I connect to maps storage instead of mtp.
I have both win xp and windows 7.

it's not possible.
it's on the same partition as all apps you've installed, and all data/settings.
you pretty much have only 3 options:
use a custom recovery to access internal storage.
learn to live with mtp(it doesn't require kies, windows vista, 7, and 8 can access mtp devices directly without additional software)
or use ftp to make your internal storage available, this works almost the same as mass storage mode, but over wifi.
It is posssible with sdcard but not with internal storage.
sent from my GT-N7100. Press thanks if I helped you...
HI DEAR
i change my rom to androd 5 hd3.5
i never format my interal memory bot after install the ram my internal memory is empty
i can recover my filest with any software bot in mtp mod the cpmpiuter dont reconize phone

i want recover my internal memory data because when i install android 5 all of my data have gone...
i want have mass storage not mtp mode
are any app or other somthing to give me mass storage mode?
Thats issue. Now I understand
You cant do that. You have written new files above old ones and you cant, especially that is is on internal storage.
There could be some method to boot as UMS but I doubt you would recover anything.
Have you tried from recocery to boot as UMS?
yeah i want... why you say i cant recover any data? if the internal storage is mass storage the software detect it one hard or flash drive and can recover data... i think
please show me how can i do that? how can i have ums mode?
i old recovery we have one option .. mount sd cart... i remember that but in new recovery we have one option ( mount) and in that we have only MPT that mean we havent mass storage.. i want like old smart phon i have mass storage...
please answer me...
in wich recovery i can load mass storage? twmp recovery havent mount usb storage
If you cant in TWRP then there is no other.
Hi,
I format internal storage+SD, and I want to get my file back with some windows recovery program.
#The SD card : no problem, windows see it as mass usb storage. (recovery successful)
#Internal memory : windows see it as ''portable device'', SO NO SOFTWARE CAN SEE the memory = no recovery possible
( I tried easeUS, active, minitool, and 2 more).
I know samsung got an app to put MTP into usb mass storage, but how can I do it on a LG??
Thank you
