I have run into another issue. I can not mount my phone to computer. I think this is happening because of me rooting my phone. I was able to root the phone successfully. But somewhere along the way something happened and I can't mount my phone to my pc. This is as if my pc is not reading/recognizing the phone when plugged in. However, my phone is reading its memory and sd card perfectly.
When I plug the phone to my pc:
With USB Debugging off... I dont even get a notification in the slide down menu asking me to either mount/unmount.
With USB Debugging on... I do get the option in slidedown menu to mount my phone. At the same time the computer shows a pop up message asking me to install driver software for Samsung_Android. In the meantime , I press mount sd card which by the way is still not recognized by the computer.
I dont have the driver for samsung_android to install on the computer.
This thread here describes how I rooted my phone. I thought this background info might be helpful in solving the problem.
Does anyone know a potential fix for this situation.
Thanks.
When this happened to me having it" ask what to do" when connected may have solved the issue. I went through this just yesterday. You also might re-boot your phone and computer a few times...nothing like that can hurt. Until someone who actually knows something finds this thread : P

**bump... someone gotta know the solution
Reading your post is a little confusing. If you are saying you cannot "mount" the phone the term Mount is replaced with "connect usb storage" in the pull down. If yours is saying mount, then your rooting process may have not worked. It is hard to tell based on how you wrote this up. Use the one-click rooting you can find all you need INCLUDING the Samsung computer drivers (32 or 64bit) @ unlockr.com along with a nice youtube video showing the whole process beginning to end.
Additional thoughts:
If you are really jacked you can always go to the bible (in the top of this general forum) and search for the "ALL in One" zip to flash back to stock...etc. The All in One has the stock kernel, the .pit (used for mapping) the 32 bit driver/64 bit driver for the computer and Odin all in one Zip. You should have this in your computer folder named (unbrick tools) either way you should get all this if you are going to be customizing the phone, along with the Eugene's froyo that does not brick rom. This rom is a lifesaver should you flash in a way where the format will not recognize the stock format. You can flash this 1st then stock right after and that ALWAYS gets you back to stock.
In the future, when you are trying to describe what is going on try to be careful with terminology it is important not to use terms loosely otherwise we are just guessing on how to help......... hope this helps
Thanks for your thoughts. It seemed as if my computer was lacking the drivers for samsung vibrant so I installed them from here
and now I can connect my phone to the pc and its working fine. I thought I had downloaded and installed the drivers before when I downloaded on the big download button on the top and installed some fake software from advertisement.
If you ever flash a 2.2 rom and experience the problem again with the drivers already installed, this might fix it...

Hi,
I’m running into an odd problem.
I have a Google Nexus 7 Tablet. I’ve unlocked and rooted it with the Toolkit. I’m attaching it via USB on a Windows 7, 64 bit system. I’ve installed the PDANet drivers.
I’ve made a back up of my tablet using Titanium Backup. Within the Titanium Backup directory are many small files, that I’d like to copy back onto my desktop for safe keeping.
However every time I copy the directory over to my PC using Windows Explorer, only a fraction of files get copied, I’d say about 20%. I’ve tried it several times, but, can’t seem to get it to do a complete copy. I’ve tried selecting the entire directory and the all the files (select all) without success.
When you plug in the micro USB cable to your tablet, does it automatically go into mass storage mode (though I have selected Mass Storage mode as my option).
I’m coming from several Samsung devices and I know there are a few ways to enable mass storage mode on them, and at a minimum, you have to choose to mount the SD card. Is there something similar with Asus devices?
What am I missing?
Thanks!
I rarely send files via the USB port... normally just use the wifi connection. Just sent all the TI backup files via AndFTP to a server over WiFi and it only a little more than 5 minutes.
I then for the first time, hooked up the N7 to my USB to transfer the files to my notebook.
Didn't make any changes.
Created a new directory on my Notebook (Win7Pro) and then opened the drive on the N7, found the TitaniumBackup directory and selected all the file (not the directory holding them).
Took about 5 mins to move the files which was about the same as the Wifi transfer.
Not errors, and all the files got there.
Not sure if that helps you...
Oh. the N7 is rooted with TWRP recovery on it but otherwise Stock.
BTW.. this morning I tried this app which is a sync app between my workstation at home and the Droid. Worked good enough I upgraded and now have a number of manual syncs setup (droid to computer)

Hi krelvinaz,
Thanks for taking the time to test that for me. I did exactly the same procedure as you. I'll play with it some more and see if it was just a bad driver install or something. Perhaps I'll try it on my laptop at work...
And thanks very much for the link... that app does look promising indeed. I really appreciate that it doesn't sync with the cloud, but with my pc. That's great.
Thanks again for your help!
Update:
Ok, well I tried to copy the same files on my work laptop, which is running XP, and without any additional drivers, and it stopped at exactly the same place, at one particular file.
I then deleted that one backup file, and tried to copy the directly again, and it worked. I then tried again on my Windows 7, 64 bit desktop and it too was successful!
I guess that file was corrupted or something.
I'm glad I figured it out, and thanks again krelvinaz.
I got my N7 today. Just plugged in USB to my computer and copied my "backup-apps" folder and my MP3 folder from my phone. Moved very fast, now I have about 150 .apk's I can install if I have recognition problems with the Play store, and 2000 songs.... using up my "16" gb fast... about time to root and add stickmount.
Whenever I plug in my S4, it seems fine. Drivers are installed correctly since I rooted fine and that also means the USB is fine.
The problem arises when I try to copy any file to my phone. It plugs in, allows me to switch it between Camera (PTP) and Media Device (MTP). I have tried turning USB Debugging on and off when transferring files and on both Camera and Media Device.
When I copy a device into any folder or the main card or phone directory, it starts copying, the green bar stops and then after a second the following message comes up:
"This device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected."
It allows me to Stop copying or Skip this file... which is the only file.
Any ideas on what is causing this and what I could do to try and fix it?
Use a different cable or usb port. Something is causing the phone to stop communicating with the computer. Also, make sure you don't have any power saving features enabled that may be turning of power to the usb port in Windows.
I've tried that and it still has the same issue.
Just unrooted and performed a factory reset. My phone is totally stock and doesn't allow me to copy any files onto it.
Does anyone have any idea?
[SOLVED]
Solved this by taking out my SD card, restarting my phone, putting the SD card back in and formatting it.
You can format by going into Settings > More > Storage > (Scroll to bottom) Format SD Card
That's right, it was not easy to find... Thanks!

Effectively, you have to turn off the ENERGIE ECO on your Tablet.
another way to see that the SDCARD is not responding, is to browse inside the Folders. They seems to be empty.

i was getting the same problem,so i uninstalled the driver and then connected the mobile .
secondly i also have installed wondershare mogile go on my mobile and pc , so when i connected my mobile to pc after uninstalling the driver the mobile go pop up came up for usb installation and it asked for installing the usb driver for mobile go ,it asked me to swithonn the usb debugging ,and it installed the driver then it just worked fine .
may be it was a mobile go problem (any software) or Driver Problem but it helped so no need to format,reset or remove your card . just try this and tell wat helped.thank you.
This is a Driver Problem.
All I had to do was plug the usb cable into the usb port that i installed the device to. My PC won't read the phone right from any other USB port. I hope this helps
Im not sure if this thread is too old or not, just wanted to give my imput on the matter, so I ran into this issue just today but i had never had it before, turns out it was the file, I did everything I could think of : played around again with the USB port selective suspend feature and it wasnt that, plugged into other USP ports, want that, untill I tried copying something else and BINGO, the file got copied, so I tried with a folder full of different files like word, excell APK files etc...and they all went through fine, so next i tried a lange file a movie and it went though fine. the file in question was a nighlyROM apparently it was corrupt, or didnt download properly. So my suggestion is to check if you can copy or transfer other files.:good:
it didn't work for me
you have to fix permissions
it happened to me on my gt-n7100 (Galaxy Note II ) with android 4.4.2, you have to install TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project see how then reboot into recovery select ''advanced'' hen ''Fix Permissions'' that worked for me
you can use chmod to fix this it works too

This did it for me. I already had TWRP installed and after quickly doing this I was able to copy to/from my SD card. It also fixed the problems I was having copying/moving things from internal storage to the SD card using ES.
FYI, It also caused XPosed to break until I rebooted again.
THANKS SO MUCH!
Doing this now, thanks so much! Wonder why that happens.
Didn't work unfortunately. Other files seem to be moving over just fine. All except this 1.6GB file (checked space, that's not the issue), where I cannot send either to Internal or SD Card. Maybe it's a corrupt file?

Yeah! Exactly! I was trying to copy an unfinished movie that was still downloading in torrent. It was stuck at 98.8% and it was playing fine in my computer. Only this file was not copying in my phone. and anyways i couldn't get it to my phone because it never downloaded 100% due to lack of peers, and i could copy other files. This means MTP mode does not allow to copy corrupt or half files and there is no mass transfer mode now a days...

I was able to copy the unfinished file by mounting External SD in TWRP btw....

I've changed the file type which was a (.zip) to a (.mp3) and transferred the file. It worked.

This is the answer to this thread!
Guys this is dumb but instead of moving the file that wasn't working onto my SD card, I just moved it to my phone and it worked the first time.
Another fix - go to usb options, set to use as USB 3.0 device
Since this is the first thread that seems to come up when I googled the issue, I'll post the fix here...
though I'm on a Galaxy S5, not the S4. I'm guessing it's the same deal.
When I plugged in with USB and tried to copy a 1.2 gig file, it gave me the error message, though many large files had worked in the past.
I tried a reboot, pulling the SD card, and making sure my USB hubs didn't have the "let windows shut this off to save power" option checked.
So I tried pressing the "Connected as a media device via USB" notification when I slide the notification bar down. There are 3 options, MTP, PTP, or USB 3.0.
I changed to USB 3.0 and the file copied fine, and much faster too, about 1.5 or 2 minutes for 1.2 gigs.
This actually works.... - Raj
Hi. I am a Windows Phone transplant. I got my Nokia 6 from Amazon and I am connecting it up via USB to put my music collection on the SD card. When I connect, it mounts as a CD and there is a setup for what looks to be the drivers there. When I run setup, nothing happens. The computer is Win 10. When I took the phone out of the box (from Amazon US), I noticed that the Amazon preloaded app took me to the Chinese Amazon site. so I think that this version is based heavily on the Chinese ROM. Does anyone have a direct link to the USB drivers for the PC? The ones I have seen on searching all look very dubious.
It was pretty cool turning this phone into an Android powered/Microsoft Services phone.
thanks
The Amazon app is just configured for Chinese. You can select another language, just go to the link next to the flag, drop down box, find the USA flag.
For the USB connection, after you connect the phone to the PC, on the phone, swipe down from the top and you should see a notification "USB *****". The "****" could be PTP, charging, MTP, etc. You want to use MTP to transfer files to the phone.
I am using MTP to connect, but has I mentioned, The phone is opening as a CD-ROM on the computer where there is a setup program with Drivers on it and it is write protected. If I try to run the setup program that it presents, Nothing happens. It starts, and gives me the Admin make changes screen, but after that nothing. This is the drivers that I think need to be on my computer to mount the phone properly to transfer files.
Mine did the same but as the previous poster said change it to mpt on the phone then in file explorer Nokia 6 appeared and when I clicked on it both the internal and sd cards showed up and I copied my music folder directly to sd card

I have the same issue. I tried choosing the MTP, even PTP as well, from the USB options, but still no luck in seeing the internal storage of my phone. Maybe this is a Windows 10 issue? I tried connecting my phone on my windows 8.1 PC and it worked fine. Anybody has a workaround on this?
my phone always have a pop-up ask me if I want to enable file transfer when I connect to a pc, maybe check if yours have the same pop-up.

Phone does not show as drive
When I connect my Nokia 6 via USB, I get a popup asking what i want to do (charge, charge and transfer and two I can't remember at the moment). It does not show up as a (USB) drive (i.e. it is not assigned a drive letter), but among the Libraries (like Downloads, Pictures, etc.). I see the CD-ROM drive with the USB driver setup as well, but I guess you only need that when the phone does not show up right away. (Maybe on older versions of Windows?)
I can write to the phone and the SD card. I have a 64 GB Samsung class 10 card, it writes at only 12 MB/s; is that normal?
When I clicked 'Properties' on the SD Card, I saw that it was formatted as FAT32, so that explains why I can't write large (>4 GB) video files to it. Shame. Does anyone have an idea if this is ever gonna change?. I tried formatting the card to ExFat, but then the phone just says 'incompatible file system' or something like that.
Can't get access to my phone data mother internal nor external
I am using MTP to connect, but has I mentioned, The phone is opening as a CD-ROM on the computer where there is a setup program with Drivers on it and it is write protected. If I try to run the setup program that it presents, Nothing happens. It starts, and gives me the Admin make changes screen, but after that nothing happens. Pls help me guy's......
I have the same problem on Windows 8.1 x64
Nevermind, I found the solution for my device, I can't guarantee it's the same for you.
Open your settings on your phone
Go to About Phone
Repeatedly tap on Build number untill a message pops
up saying that you're a developer now.
Go back into settings and open Developer options now
Scroll down and find USB Debugging and turn it on.
That's it, you should be able to manage your files now
Finally Nokia is making Andorid based phones now. Because Android is the kind of OS people need today. With tons of application choice.
You can download the ADB driver for your Nokia in this link:
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip
change your cable. That's what the problem is
I am having trouble with file transfers on Linux (openSUSE 42.3). The phone is the Verizon version of HTC 10.
(To score some sympathy points, I just ordered and received this phone from ebay. It unfortunately was already "upgraded" to version 2.41.605.36, so until someone makes a hack available I am stuck with Verizon software.)
Initially when I connected the phone to the computer, the device notifier came up with "Camera" only. In this mode files cannot be uploaded to the phone.
I then edited the "libmtp.rules" file to include the vendor id and product id of the phone. After doing this the device was recognized as "Android phone". There were two options to open a file explorer---one which opened it again as "Camera" and a second which should be a file explorer in "mtp" mode, however clicking on this icon led to a error message:
HTML:
The file or folder udi=/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.1/ does not exist
.
I realize this is more of a linux-specific question, and I haven't yet tried posting it on a linux forum, but I thought I would try here first to see if anyone else had this sort of trouble with this phone on this operating system.

Yes!! camera:/USB PTP Class Camera is what you initially see when it is plugged into the USB port. (openSuSE 42.3). You click on that and you get to folders: store_528b0001 and store_00010001 along with two text files: about.txt and summary.txt. The store_528b0001 is the external SD card and store_00010001 is the internal storage.
Now then, I have had trouble finding all my photos EVEN THOUGH they are supposed to be in DCIM/100MEDIA in the internal memory. I can see the pics on the phone but not from my PC when connected. At least not all of them. Just took some 'recent' pics and I can see them from my PC. ??
As for the write... you can not copy a file from the PC to the camera with SuSE Linux -but- you can with Windows. I use VMware and have Windows 10 installed. You can use this Windows to copy a file from the PC to the Android Phone. At least I have.

Sorry to neglect this thread that I started, but actually the problem turned out to be the mtp version that came with Leap 42.3. Updating this (libmtp9) from version 1.1.13 to 1.1.14 fixed the problem. I can now access internal storage as "read/write".
