I found some drivers for the usb mass storage functionality.
< disclaimers >
I haven't tested it yet
( I've installed to many soft and not really wanted to do a hard reset now because didn't synchronise my data on linux - another post later about that one )

This has already been mentioned in the USB host thread, but thanks anyway!

First I would like to say hello, since it's my first post here, on xda.
While wandering throughout the internets, i've made an interesting discovery! On some other PPC-related forum i've found piece of software, that's supposed to enable USB-Host function.
Unfortunetly I don't know how to test it (how to connect cable and so on) and (to be honest) am afraid of bricking my diamond. So... here's the description by the author (Zeno):
USB Host Drivers Package version 2.0 (2009-02-07)
Requirements: PDA with WM5,WM6,WM6.1, propper USB cable for your device.
Overview: USB Host Drivers Package for PDA running WM5, WM6, WM6.1. Based on RATOC Systems drivers.
Made by Zeno Sloim 2009-02-07
The package contains:
USB Host Mouse Driver
HID Driver for US-101 keyboard
HostDriver for external USB-based CD-DVD
MassStorage Driver for external USB-based HDD or Flash or any other USB-based card-reader.
All features tested on Fujitsu Siemens Loox 560N running WM6.1 with 16 GB SDHC.
Used with OEM USB keyboard, OEM external HDD, Kingston 8 GB memmory-flash, OEM card-reader and various SD, SDHC cards, Microsoft various USB Mouses.
Download and run PCinstaller.exe on your pc or PPCautorun.exe on your pda.
What is new:
Version 1: 2009-02-06 (first version)
Version 2: 2009-02-07 added USB Host Mouse support for generic USB mouse. Only left-click and right-click support included, scroll-mouses are reduced to simple left and right click mouses.)
I hold no copyrights and so on. Just wondered, that it might be useful. If I broke any rules... delete this thread.
it works only on sd expansion card to usb or devices that support USB host feature (like my n560). anyway it's only usb 1.1 support so it won't do you
much good.
Doesn't work on HTC Diamond
I have semi-stupid idea to force mass storage property on PC while connecting our PDA. Not to make mass storage from PDA but from PC.
For what ?
- To handle files on PC from PDA - copying files from locked PC , or/and thousand others possibilities - ( using printer or web cam from PC .. etc )
Of course there's need of USB host possibilities in our PDA
Only problem that I have on mind is MS W... security policy on Desktop.
Maybe I'm loosing some details that are obvious for other's but for me it's very interesting and maybe possible to do.
Cheers
Afro.
I am not sure, but maybe this thread can be helpful - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480899
For those of you having a problem with Windows 7 recognizing your Vibrant ... here is how I fixed it on my system.
*Note: You do not need to load any special USB drivers for your phone to be recognized in Mass Storage mode in Windows 7.
*Warning: You follow these instructions at your own risk ... no screaming at me if you try it and something gets screwed up!
1) Navigate your way into the Device Manager / Universal Serial Bus Controller
2) Uninstall the device(s) "USB Root Hub" (My system had 2 listed)
3) You will lose mouse and keyboard control (because you just removed the USB Hubs)
4) Reset your PC and allow Windows to boot normally.
5) Go back to the device manager and wait for all of the "!" marks to go away as windows re-installs the USB Hubs and reinitializes all of your devices.
6) Make sure your Vibrant is in mass storage mode and has USB debugging OFF
7) Plug in your Vibrant via the USB cable and be amazed as windows recognizes your device and assigns the drive letters. After you select the mount option on your phone you will have normal access via windows explorer.
Hope this helps some of you out there !!!

Thanks. I am having this problem right now. I used to work. now all of the sudden it just stopped connecting. But i have a clarification questions. when you say remove the usb root hub, do you mean uninstall or disable?
Thanks.
I had the same problem after flashing JI6 via ODIN (after softbricking a la t-mobile ota), but I was able to fix it by enabling the prompt to ask what to do every time usb was connected, and then changing it back to treating it as mass storage. I read this suggestion in another forum (don't remember where) and it helped with mine.
I had no trouble before the update, it just started right after.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. It should say uninstall. You want to force windows to reinstall the devices.
I know this thread is old but if you change your view in device manager to view by connection you can find which root hub to uninstall and then re-install. This happened randomly when I was trying to update my epic and I didn't have to re-start because it was only the front ports root hub that was having the problem. Thanks for the help.
My Win10 Insider Preview machine did not recognize the phone. Nothing happened when I connected the phone and I could not access storage of the phone.
Below is the solution for it:
Go to Control Panel - Device Manager - LeMobile Android Device (could be under a different name. Choose the one that is your phone) - Update Driver - Manually Install a Driver - Let me pick a list of available drivers on my computer - MTP USB .

Uhm ... when you connected the phone to computer you changed the mode on phone from USB charging to MTP mode ?
In my Win10 x64 build 14392.447 not problem to see the phone in MTP mode after changing mode on phone.
Alternative solution is to use KDE Connect app over Wifi. Bonus is that once set up, it is possible to push files from the phone to the PC without any interaction on the PC side - e.g. useful if the PC doubles as a file server.

Both of my home & works computer (Win10 14959) failed to detect it as MTP or PTP drive. Might have been due to those having previous phone's drivers.
But I faced same problem with fresh out of the box Win8 laptop.
No issue with the MTP, however I can't seem to get adb to work. list of devices attached is showing empty.

Wanted to add my voice here too that I did the same - I had to clean up previous drivers I had installed over time for varios phones and different ADB versions like the one from clockworkmod - once I cleaned that out and installed google drivers from SDK PTP worked and I was able to do Helium restores
I had issue on my Win10 PC, but I found that after I disabled USB debugging, it would work as MTP/PTP, but not for ADB of course. So apparently, I have to toggle USB debugging ON/OFF to switch back and forth from MTP and ADB.
Small pain in the butt.
Solution.
I had the same issue. Drove me NUTS for about an hour. In the end, simply unchecked the USB DEBUGING in developer settings. This will make it pop up immediately.
Update:
I clearly should have read the post above mine first.
Hi,
I just received the Z17. It looks well but I had many problems with the USB connection.
I use the connection too with my Jiayu S3Adv.
On that phone, I can read all the contents of the phone (SD Card and Internal mémory)
On the Nubia, I can read nothing into the windows 8.1 file explorer.
I just have (under My Computer main part) an icon named NX563J.
If I open this "drive" (or device), I just have a disk named "Shared internal space" (Espace de stockage interne partagé) (Sorry, I'm French, nobody is perfect, my English too ) with no files and one or two directories (log for example)
In order to have a "complete view", I had to change into Developper Option the default parameter "Charging" to "MTP"
Right, I can access the full contents of the phone...
I seems not activated by default.
Do you have the same problem ?
I use MyPhoneExplorer to synchronize data between my PC and mu phone. It works perfectly with the Jiayu.
I can't connect the Nubia to that application.
I'll have a new try with the "new MTP parameter" activated.
Thanks
Complement :
Each time I shutdownower off the phone and the computer, I need to reinstall the drivers...
Otherwise I can't access the phone contents.
I'm thinking to return the phone
May be I found one solution (or problem)
My computer (Lenovo Carbon X1 gen 3) is supporting "only" USB 3.0 specifications.
USB-C connection (I'm not speaking about the connector) need USB 3.1 and over specifications (thunderbolt).
So despite my device is recognized, it seams MyPhoneExplorer can't connect via USB-C protocol.
I had a small try with a connection via bluetooth, it seems to work.
But I can't see the phone contents when the phone is connected via USB.
Microsoft says USB-C connections are not supported by the windows OS under windows 10 (7, 8, 8.1)...
i have the same problem

The problem is the USB C connections I have a surface and It does not recognize the USB connection due to driver error, I try to find a way with no solution, have anyone of you tried to root the phone successfully?
Ok, it works... sometimes with W8.1 x64.
In your configuration panel, open the item "Device Manager" (sorry, I've the French Version only)
In the menu "View" (Affichage, the last menu item on your right before ?) clic on Show Hidden devices
On the "Unknown device" Clic on Properties (Propriétés)
Tab Driver => Update the driver
Find a driver on my computer
Choose in a driver list on my computer
Choose USB Device and choose USB MTP or something similar.
Clic on Next. The driver will be installed
In your file manager, you can now see your phone.
If you have more than one phone, may be you have to do that each time you connect an other phone on your computer
Hope this helps you
