Hey guys,
i connect my SGS to mass storage (i'm running JP3 btw) and i can see the internal SD and external 16GB SD i have on my laptop, but when i try to copy something over it says 'error cannot read/write because card is protected'
how can i R/W and turn that off?
thanks!
same for me, sine jp2 and jp3 I cannot write to my external sd card :-(
you have to go to the notification bar and click on the USB connection and a message will pop up asking you to "mount", just click on mount.
Install this widget called 'USB Switcher'
put it on your homescreen and connect a USB cable
Touch the widget and now your phone storage is mounted on your computer
If still can't detect the external storage.
try this:
1.power off
2.take out your sd card
3.reformat your sd card via card reader
4.put in your sd card again
5.start the phone
6.connect USB cable
7.Use the widget above
external sd seems to be a bug for half of us, so strange, all was fine until jp2 and jp3, and the above did not work, usb switch getting FC all the time and should not have to do this should just work as before by mounting it, but ever since jp2 I get the android pic and it mounts ok but will not let me copy/place new files into external, no permission/protection is on......guess have to try jp4
Hmmm yeah no need to go to the notification bar in JP3 cause the android screen pops up asking if you want to turn on usb storage. It must be a problem with JP3 :-(
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Using firmware XJG4 version, I managed to access SD card (16 G internal & 8G external from mass storage using 'USB Switcher'
My steps are:
1. Run 'USB Switcher' to unmount SD storage
2. Connect with USB to PC
3. Select mass storage option when prompt
3. Go to PC, 2 drive appears and are accessible.
To confirm the SD cards are unmounted from step 1, run file manager and the SD file directory is empty.

So... I plugged my adan into my computer and tried to transfer some files to the internal sd after id choose "Enable usb filetransfer mode" and then my computer frooze after a while and crashed. Now everytime i start my adam i get a notification "Preparing SD Card, checking for errors..." and my internal sd isnt mounted. I tried reset it and i tried do a offline recovery for the whole stocksystem.. crap. any ideas?
Hi Guys,
When I put an SD card in my phone and plug it into my PC, windows only sees the SD Card. I hit "USB mass storage" option on the phone after plugging it in, but I still only get access to the SD card.
When the SD Card isn't in the phone windows explorer will see the internal phone storage. I just can't get them both to show up at the same time.
The other weird thing is when I plug the phone in, it unmounts both the SD Card and the Internal Storage (in order for the PC to use them). However, when I remove the phone from the PC, I have to manually remount the internal storage. The SD Card will automatically remount.
Any ideas?
Thx.
I need to copy the pictures from my storage card to my PC, but I am not able to view the contents when my Samsung Galaxy S2 is connected to the PC. the pictures which are in my internal storage card can be viewed, but those in the storage card cannot be.. What settings need to be changed?!
None if you can see the phone via USB mass storage mode you should also see the external sd card as a separate drive .
Try a card reader .

Did you access the pics from phone memory through Mass-Storage-Device or via something like kies (e.g. "Samsung Phone" instead of a real Mass-Storage with a drive-letter)? Try checking the "Developer Mode" in Settings, which lets you connect manually if plugged in and not automatically with MTP.
Hey folks,
This is my first post. I have a problem.I installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2337235 this rom, in right order. Follow all Steps. Now my u8800 show me an Error that android.media is not responding or freezed. If i want to use my Camera a message pops up and show that i don't have a external sd storage card, but i ve an InternalSD with 2 gigs @ Stock all works fine and internalSD was found by my cam. if i go to settings->storage -> storage configuration -> use InternalSD for apps nothing happened. Further my cam pops this message above. at storage i could click on sdcard enable, after this i got asked if i want to format my sdcard i tapped on yes and now i could use my sdcard and use option of internalsd usage. My cam is now working, but after all i can't get rid of the following error ->
Next Error is if i connect my phone with my pc no internalSD show up ( i click on prepare sd card on phone ), so i can't plant the gapps for 4.2.2 on my internalSD to install gapps. Something weird if i click on prepare sdcard so my u8800 gets recognized by my pc and should show my 2 gig sdcard, a message pops out that i can take my sdcard out, but this is my internalSD card?! After all nothing gets mounted, if i click on this popup and enable sd card again the message prepare ur sdcard is coming up again i click on prepare and the cicle starts over and over...
Any Ideas, with this errors my u8800 can't be used...
hope u could help me

Now if i want to mount with cmw 5.5.0.4 my internal sdcard it also couldn't be mounted. Hell ya what i doin wrong?
Edit2://
After i did the repartition i ve 1 gb internal storage, but my cam wants external storage, if i took in a sd card, cam went to normal. I go into Cam settings Storage -> Use Internal Storage. Remove the sdcard, want to start my Cam so it uses the internal storage, but an Error popped and show no external media is insert and exits... and i can't mount my internal storage as before...
Edit3://
What is weird is that if i have an EXTERNAL sd card it get mounted on my pc, if i remove the external and wants to get my Internal SD Mounted i get the message, SDCard is ready to remove and now i ven't any "internal" storage under Storage option... if i want to remove the dalvik cache error message is shown "./sd-ext not found" its sounds that the sym-link to this folder is set to the wrong path, i think this have to be set to my "internal" storage, i think thats the problem at all so my "internal" storage can be mounted as usb storage. Any Ideas to set the sym-link to the right place or fix my internal/usb Storage Problem?
Need rly help guys
Hi,
I need to copy a folder 2gb + from my external SD card ( a 64 gb UMS 1 Samsung SD card) to my PC. With a standard USB connection on MTP/Media storage , I just keep getting :
Calculation time remaining to copy prompt on my PC and the folder never copies.
So I was hoping to enable Mass storage mode. I tried SG USB mass storage enabler, but it gives an error:
"An error occured while identifying the SD card. The card is either not ready or there is no SD card inserted. If there is one inserted, please exit the application and try again, if it still doesnt work, please contact the developer via email."
Can someone please help?
PS:- Mine is i9500
I don't think there is any way other than going custom rom or getting a usb memory stick with an sdcard slot.
