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
Hi,
i wonder why they dropped mass storage device mode on the Gen9 devices.
No problem in the Windows world though, but i'm frequently using linux on my host computers and i'm little annoyed about the new MTP mode.
What do you think, could this be reverted easily?
Did anyone checked this out by tweaking some code or using a custom kernel?
Any information would be nice!
EDIT: O.K. i did some research... there's a lot discussion about it already.
Anyway would be nice to read your opinion.
Regards,
scholbert
I still see the mass storage option in my 4GB 80 G9, though I prefer MTP mode because it allows access to internal storage as well as SD card.
Yeah sure...
AFAIK, if you got a MicroSD in the slot it is accessed as USB mass storage.
I related to the device itself...
Anyway this will clear things up a bit.
I'll install libmtd and stuff on my laptop running Debian and see if it works out like expected.
Thanks for your reply!

Well, internal storage is "media" directory of /data partition and it would be too dangerous for Archos to export whole /data as mass storage.
The benefit of this is to get rid of the limit of installed apps versus storage, the downside is that they can't export it as a drive. Google is pushing for this model too afaik.
Don't forget that storage for both SD and HDD models is formatted as ext4- unreadable for Windoze (it's the only reasonable option- fat32 supports max 32GB partitions, NTFS is not linux-frielndly IMO)
BTW it seems to me that MTP is becomming more popular- Xperia Arc S offers both MTP and UMS (MTP is factory default)
I don't know how to use it under Ubuntu or Linux mint, any recommendations?
thanks in advance.
get things rollin' on linux
Hi,
i started to do some research how to activate/implement the MTP on my laptop running Linux Mint (in partitular LMDE). Process would be the same for Debian and similar for Ubuntu.
To fully support the Gen 9 series libmtd version 1.1.2 should be installed on your machine.
See the logs at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=158745&atid=809061
To start you need some essential packages first.
Afterwards you'll be able to see the device. I'm still in the process of sorting out how to make it work pleasantly.
Right now it'S not working the way it should. Anyway here are some requirements...
If you're on Debian Wheezy, simply install libmtp and stuff using your package manager.
Older versions only support older versions, not matching for the Archos G9 series.
If you're on Linux Mint it is possible to install version 1.1.2 manually from console (to force a partial upgrade).
Unfortunately some tools are little behind in this distro (at least LMDE)
Grab at least four packages from Debian Wheezy repo (e.g. 64bit machine):
- libmtp-common_1.1.2-2_all.deb
- libmtp9_1.1.2-2_amd64.deb
- libmtp-runtime_1.1.2-2_amd64.deb
- mtp-tools_1.1.2-2_amd64.deb
Remark: Install these in the right order. See the command below.
I found it to be safe to upgrade these packages partially, no depends are broken afterwards.
Please do not update your repository sources to point at the wheezy tree.
This might definitely confuse your package manager.
Additionally needed for handling virtual drives (better use package manager for install):
- fuse
- mtpfs
On Linux Mint (LMDE) you might then simply enter a root console to force upgrade of native libmtp:
Code:
dpkg -i libmtp-common_1.1.2-2_all.deb libmtp9_1.1.2-2_amd64.deb libmtp-runtime_1.1.2-2_amd64.deb mtp-tools_1.1.2-2_amd64.deb
I am not using Ubuntu, but i found out that 1.1.2 has found its way in 12.04 (precise), which is yet to be released.
Remark for Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric):
In this distro libmtp 1.1.0 is used, unfortunately no Archos G9 support natively.
You could try to force a partial update though.
Please check dependencies first!
After installing you should add your username to the group audio:
Code:
adduser your_username audio
This is because the Gen 9 devices enumerate as audio device in the USB device-tree.
If you leave this out, only root will have access to this device.
Though this might be considered as optional.
Now you'll be able to use the mtp-tools (as a user) to discover your device and do lowlevel stuff.
As already stated things are not done automatically.
I will investigate, maybe some things are missing... (e.g. install package mtpfs).
Maybe this is the reason, why i got no virtual drive.
After installing mtpfs you may mount the internal storage of your Archos device (as root):
Code:
# mkdir ~/g9-storage
# mtpfs -o allow_other ~/g9-storage
The internal storage is now accessable...
To unmount:
Code:
# fusermount -u ~/g9-storage
Even with some scripting this is far from automount (like known from USB mass storage devices), but it works.
I'll try to find an even more convenient way...
Stay tuned!

Any way to enable USB Mass Storage mode?
On 4.0.28 (stock), I only have MTP and PTP. I would like it to work as a "Normal" USB mass storage device, like most Android devices.
If all I can see is the SD Card, that's fine. It's much more convenient that carrying around a USB Card reader, and having to remove the card.

Hi, you can use FTP over Wi-Fi. With root access you can export every file you like.

Several other options:
1. SD card reader - Some Micro SD cards come with a tiny USB reader.
2. SD card adapter - Some Micro SD cards come with an adapter that lets them be used in a full size SD slot.
3. ADB via command line. adb push and adb pull.
Best I have found:
4. Use the file manager in DDMS. DDMS includes a simple file manager. It's basically a GUI for adb push and adb pull. DDMS is part of the Android SDK.
Is it possible to enable USB Mass Storage in Android One?? Like we used to have in old Jelly Bean and earlier Android phones.
I'm in need of it because only direct mounting as an USB stick works in my TV.
Till now, I'm using Custom recovery to mount SD card as USB storage.
Is there any way out??
Can someone write a shell script for this that works properly??
Does modding init.usb.rc or init.sprout.usb.rc for mass_storage help??
And... How does recoveries like TWRP do this??
Thanks

No, it's not working
I've got CM13 so I can't use Elementalx Kernel. Are there other options to use the M8 as USB mass storage with apps like DriveDroid or StickMount?
Hello
Can someone help how to enable USB mass storage protocol for PC connection? microSD or in simple, to make DriveDroid working
Looked everywhere and everything I found about G7 and UMS have a last step "and select MTP? or PTP?"
