I can't seem to get to all system files when i connect the s6 edge (5.1.1) to my computer. I have USB debugging on, but I still only see the storage files. On 5.0.1, when I had root, I could just plug in the usb, and I would have access to all the files. What am I missing here?

A bit cryptic header, but here's the problem:
Used the PC driver from the Toolkit.
USB error/test is enabled.
ROM: Probam 4.4.6
When I connect to my PC via USB, I can see the device in my explorer. I can copy files from/to the Note 2. But somehow it suddenly won't react anymore. It still is connected, but the files stop copying.
When I disconnect and reconnect the cable the device is found again and file copy can be restarted. But, when I change anything on the device, it just looks like the file structure is cached.
So, removing a file on the device itself won't be reflected on the PC. When I try to copy a file to the device which was previously removed on the device (and still visible on PC), the file copy will give an error, I suspect because it cannot find the file on the device.
Does anyone has a solution for this?
Wondering if anyone else has this issue, but when I connect my phone as either MTP, PTP or MIDI; I cannot access or see the DCIM\Camera folder. If I try to navigate to it "Computer\Nexus 5X\Internal storage\DCIM\Camera", I get an error saying Windows cannot find the folder. I have tried turning Debugging on and off, but it didn't make a difference. I've also tried showing hidden files and system files in Windows, but nothing shows up in the DCIM folder.
Apps like EZ File Explorer and Quick Pic can access this folder just fine, but Windows cannot. Any Ideas?

Ok, this might be a little too standard but just to confirm, after you connect to PC, do you unlock your phone? (if you have your phone locked). If not, unlock your phone after connecting to the PC and check whether you can now access. Cheers:good:
Since I updated my phone to RR-N-v5.8.3 I am now unable to transfer files to and from a PC. When I connect the USB cable to the PC and choose USB file transfer on my phone nothing happens. It works with the PTP option but the Transfer files option isn't working. Can someone please help out?
USB File transfer was always broken on CM and now LOS. There's an easy workaround though
1. Connect the phone to pc via usb cable
2. Choose "tranfer photos(PTP)"
3. Now change it to "transfer files"
Cheers mate! Been banging my head against the wall about this
Also works if you turn on debugging. For some reason that's the only way mine gets detected.
I cannot get my 3a XL to appear as a storage device in Win10
Is there black magic I am missing?
Windows shows a connected device "Pixel 3a XL" when mode is "File Transfer"
When I set the mode to PTP, the device appears in file manager and I can see ... just my pictures and screenshots.
Make sure you have a good USB A to USB c cable or if you have a USB c port on your laptop or PC you can just plug it in and you'll get a USB option. It'll say charge device tether and transfer files .
Once connected you should see the phone open up like any other Android phone. No drivers were needed for me or USB debugging.
apparently it was a windows thing... I applied some updates, rebooted, and now all is behaving proper.
You can also use a free app called SendAnywhere (available on Windows/Mac/iOS) and this will allow you to wirelessly transfer files.

I noticed this as well. You can change to PTP mode and then transfer between those specific folders as a work around.
PTP is a camera protocol and isn't really supposed to show anything but pictures, screenshots, etc. Android hasn't been open to being connected to as a USB mass storage device for years, if you want to transfer files you use MTP which is what is showing up as "File Transfer", double click the icon, move your folders into any of the accessible folders or directly to the root. What folders are accessible in either format is decided by the OEM of the device in question. Going back to PTP, most imaging devices now support MTP and it isn't much needed any more but is made available so that you can transfer to/from some older devices and programs which can only utilize PTP.

Hello, i rooted my Verizon Note 4 with PaulPizzrom everything is running smooth but am having abit of a problem getting into file transfer mode. After awhile a message pops up
"Attention
The connected device is unable to access data on this phone. Reconnect the USB cable and try again. Android File Transfer must be installed on Mac OS X devices. To download Android File Transfer, go to"
I'm using Windows 10 not Mac and don't know what else to do. I've unplugged and replugged on all usb ports and tried different usb cables. Any ideas anyone?
