I just received my Corsair Flash Voyager Pro & I can't seem to locate the files that I've put on it. The Tablet Doesn't Automatically open w/ file Manager & I also can't seem to fine google's file manager . The Drive is in exFAT if that matters.

Do you happen to know if the Drive "HAVE TO" be in FAT32 Format?

Some custom kernels support NTFS and EXFAT. But stock doesn't give you much option
If you're rooted try the app stick mount from the play store, that should work
If you're not rooted, try Nexus Media Importer (also from the Play Store).
I was expecting more of a Plug & Play Like what was shown 2:35
Stock / unrooted 5.02 and I use ES File Manager to access drives over USB OTG. This only started working (AFAIK) with the Lollipop release.
It's limited in functionality, and I usually end up copying files locally before using them, but it suits my needs and works without rooting.
I used to use StickMount, but it requires root. And I'm lazy.

On the Verizon GNex, is there a way to recover an accidentally deleted photo or video file? I have tried the Undelete program from the Market and it will not list the device. I have also tried recovery software when connected to a pc and it will not recognize the device either.
Anyone have any ideas?
You can try using the stick mount app by chain fire to mount the phone; however, you will need to root.

I've tried this and like Undelete it will not recognize the device for me. I don't know if it is due to ICS or if it is just the GNex.
I have downloaded the StickMount app, but I don't have the original Samsung cable w/ me at work to try it out (won't work unless it is original cable??). I will try this tonight and see if this works.
Thanks for the info!
I've tried the StickMount and it does not recognize the device w/ the original cable either. I also tried the Hexamob Pro app again and it will not find the device due to it not being FAT format.
Other ideas?
You need an ext3(or ext4) "undelete" tool. Those are for fat32 formatted devices.

Yes. The "SD Card" is not an actual SD partition with FAT file system, it is actually a link to /data/media with EXT4 file system. You need a EXT undelete tool installed on the phone or a MTP/PTP undelete tool installed on your PC.
did you turn on google+ upload photo feature before you deleted the photo? If yes and you have a google+ the photo might be online already.
So i upgraded to cm 10.1.2 and i'm having a hard time trying to figure out how mount as mass storage rather than MTP or PTP
for the life of my, i can't find the option.
i'm running linux so MTP is not an option for me
anyone know where i can change it?
thank you
sam
when you goto storage hit menu do you see any other options when you click menu in your storage settings ?

That's because they removed mass storage option in 4.2.2

Some linux distros support MTP. Ubuntu, for example, although it hasn't been officially backported to some older releases. But it is available for older releases in a developer's third-party ppa. Unfortunately, I can't post the link. Still, I prefer USB mass storage to MTP. But I'm going to try MTP for awhile and see if it grows on me.
I noticed that there are a number of apps that come up in the Android Market / Google Play Apps if you search for "USB mass storage", but I haven't tried any of them. There are also third-party apps that provide file sharing via wifi using samba or ftp. Not exactly what you're looking for, but I thought I'd mention it. ES File Explorer is an example. I use it, and like it, but I haven't used the particular features I just mentioned because, until my recent upgrade to JB 4.2 I didn't need them -- I used USB mass storage.
In a thread on AndroidCentral, someone said google does not want to use USB mass storage. I don't know if that's true, and if it is true, I don't know what google's reasons are for abandoning USB mass storage.

I tried this without success. At this point, I forget what the problem was, because I've tried so many different things. I think I was unable to get read-write access. It was read only. Not sure, though. But it didn't work for me.

I tried a couple of these and they did not work reliably. I have a large git repo that I was trying to clone, and it would either silently fail mid-way (using Samba Filesharing for Android by funkyFresh), or git would complain about corrupt/missing objects (using Servers Ultimate by Ice Cold Apps). The latter also has an NFS server, but I wasn't able to connect to it. I kept getting a clnt_create Program not registered error. All of the problems here with both the samba servers and NFS could be specific to my hardware and software environment, and/or configuration settings. YMMV.

I tried a ton of these. The only one that looks promising (for my device) is Multi Mount SD-Card Lite by rafoid. I hope it works out. Haven't tried cloning my git repo yet. Again, my experiences could be specific to my hardware and software environment. YMMV.
Off topic: Along the way I found AirDroid. Looks pretty cool, but doens't look like a solution to the problems in this thread.
You can try this mod and see if it works for you. It is really 2 lines on a terminal:

It worked for me before to force my phone go into mass storage mode. I haven't used it for the latest mods.

That's a good idea. I sorta tried that, and it didn't work for me, but it obviously has worked for other people. I say "sorta" because I didn't use a terminal, but used an app in the Marketplace wihich is supposed to do the same thing. The app is USB mode switch for SGS1 on CM by Zatta. It's the subject of a thread here (showthread.php?p=21505914). I would post the link to the thread, but unfortunately I can't post links.

Just download a Terminal Emulator on Google Play. Search Terminal and the first one should work. Make sure you give it root privilege, as you are modding system files. Hope that helps!

I put CM10.1.2 on my phone a few days ago. Until today, whenever I plugged it into my computer it would go into mass storage mode as expected and everything was fine. Then, I installed Button Savior, which required me to enable USB debugging mode, and after that it connected in MTP mode every time. If I tapped the notification it would give me an option to uncheck MTP mode, but tapping that any number of times had no effect (the checkmark wouldn't go away). I tried the solution suggested in the linked thread, but now it's even worse. It no longer connects in MTP mode, but it doesn't connect in mass storage mode either. Now, it connects in something called "installer mode" with no option to change anything. It shows up in Explorer on my computer, but when I try to open the drive the computer asks me to insert a drive.
Any idea how I get my mass storage mode back?
Odd, teamchopsticks pulled USB mass storage from cm10.1 because of crashes when disconnecting from the computer.

Cyanogenmod removed support for USB mass storage after CM10.0 because "The kernel support was flaky... USB mass storage has been deprecated by Google and is no longer supported."

Since yesterday I am a proud owner of a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 LTE and trying a lot to configure.
But it is not so easy as I'm used to it from my S2.
1 How do I get a USB connection with my PC
2 How can I make a backup
3 Where can I get the official software for the emergency
4. sd 128GB exfat or fat32 ??
With my S2 I use NeatRom 8.0 and the Dorimanx kernel.
Can anyone recommend me a Rom and Kernel ??
Regards
Klaus
1. It should just connect, although you may need drivers depending on system
3. You can find them on sammobile or Samsung Firmware websites (google)
4. Exfat, if your planning on housing files larger then 4gb (ie BluRay rips)

In your file manager. Go to system then storage. You can find your flash drive there. Or use Solid Explorer which shows the flash drive but you have to give permission the first time.
I tried that too. It does show up in Settings>Storage. It doesn't show up in any file manager.

As said Solid Explorer works just fine indeed :good:
on stock rooted canadian variant, showes up perfectly fine. maybe its the rom
I've tried that too. Still no joy. Could be the rom.

I've been trying to figure out how to get uTorrent(or any other android torrent client) to download content straight to a microSD card I have connected through an OTG reader. I'm able to move the files from internal to the SD after it's already downloading but unable to get it to go straight there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Also I'm rooted and running Android 6.0.1
It's not the answer you're looking for but your N7 could be used to control uTorrent running elsewhere (open source).

Yeah I've used it before. I was just wanting to download large files to my tablet since I can use it on a separate data plan as my PC.
