I have Samsung Focus rev 1.3 with Tango ROM running, I want to enable Mass storage mode on it. I tried following the guide here:
http://www.windowsphoneforum.net/fo...onnect-your-windows-phone-7-mass-storage.html
But however, its not detected as Mass Storage ? Anyone else have it running on custom ROM ?
Also what does mass storage mode do ? Will it help in completely bypassing Zune software, like copying music files as such without need to sync, etc? or the manually copied files are not detected by wp7?
all thats gonna do is show up as basically another hard drive , you should be able to get it , i think he left a step out , and you need to use the diagnosis app to set it ,there will be 3 settings in there ,you'll have to look for it in the dev section of wp7 I dont remember where it is!
If you know what folders hold music and pictures and what not you can place them there directly

After entering my system password my device freezes. So i cant start the explorer there.
Is there a way i can access the files on my phone? Sadly its in USB Stick mode, i can browse my files on the SD Card just fine. But i need access to the device memory. I know whats wrong, i just have to replace one file, but how do i get there?
Any chance to get access via the bootloader screen? Can i force active sync to connect even if the device is in removable media mode? Can i prevent the today screen from loading and get into the explorer somehow?
i know there is a safe mode!
yes there is, i'm 100% sure, i have used it, but it was using an application(i can't remember which one, maybe something from SPB).
try looking around on how to enter safe mode on Windows Mobile and i think this will help.
good luck
Try using SPB Pocket Plus as it has a safe mode boot features
safe mode doesn't help in most cases....
Google only gave me 3rd party safe mode programs. I didnt find a native windows safe mode support. And of course i cant install any new programs at the moment. And i dont have Pocket Plus installed.
Does it get into USB stick mode automatically after entering the password?
Regards,
Carty..
Yes as i said it does, but i can only access my SD Card because it not in active sync modus.
And the dll i need to replace is on the phone memory, no the memory card.
Does this help me? Could i put some kind of autorun script on it which replaces my dll? Or disable the today plugins?
Hi guys,
I got me a Defy and wanted to flash CM7/CM9. I got a few problems:
1. What did I do until now?
I rooted with Super one click, es it didn't work with the pushing and exploting the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin (after exploiting, if the Defy did it properly, it used to exit from shell and the phone remained offline, so no more action could be performed with adb).
Also, ClockworkMod Recovery is installed.
I used this and another push/chmod approach: Cyanogenmod Wiki /Motorola_Defy:_Full_Update_Guide
2. Problem A)
When putting the CM Update zips on the SD card and booting, it will say it can't mount the SD Card.
I mixed some things up and tried to make the SD card mountable again with this approach (last paragraph): Cyanogenmod.com /index.php?title=Motorola_Defy:_Full_Update_Guide&oldid=13776#Problems_with_Android_2.1
By typing too fast i added two incorret entries (shouldn't be a problem).
Somewhere than I read, installing CM7 is only possible with Android 2.2. My Phone says the following:
- System version: Blur_Version.2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.DE
- Firmware version: 2.1-update1
- Kernel version 2.6.29
3. Problem B)
So I thougth, next approach should be updating to Froyo. Sadly, Motorola Software Update doesn't recognize my phone, wheter with drivers from first link above nor with the drivers that come with the Update center (frankly, I haven't tried first link driver only but Software Update only and both togheter).
Several wipes and factory resets didn't help.
Any thoughts how I could fix this and get me a CM7? Best would be without loosing garantee (I mean sticking with an official software version as downgrade possibility). Should I have updated without ClockworkMod installed? Could return the phone and get me a new one if necessary.
Thanks for your help.
Edit: Is it possible that Motorola Update doesn't work with Win7 64Bit at all?
1st of all you MUST have froyo kernel (but certainly not eclair) before you can install Cm7 properly!
2nd it seems that your SD Card could be corrupted. It's important to eject your device from Windows PC properly before unplugging it. Otherwise you can corrupt your sdcard and/or internal memory.
Here is how you fix both your SD Card and internal FAT32 memory.
1) Plug in the device to the PC.
2) In Android turn on USB
3) The removable drives will show up in Windows.
4) Do one drive at a time. Right click on the removable drive and select Properties.
5) In this screen click the tools tab. Under error checking click the check now button
6) On this screen click the box "Automatically fix errors" and click start.
7) When it finishes it will either tell you if fixed problem or not.
8) If it did fix problems then you will find on the removable drive a folder called FOUND.000, FOUND.001, etc. You can delete those as they are broken files that got corrupt and you probably can’t do anything with them anyway!
9) Now eject the drives properly and you done.
Hope that helps.
Aw, men! I used not to eject any devices from my computer
I will try repairing and the the Software Update Center again.
If not, anybody knows which SBF file from sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordan/list.php is the one I would get after updating? I really don't get this list at all.
Thanks.
Ok I checked the sd card and there were no problems. So I switched to "Portal and tools" to check the Defy itself. The the first time Motohelper popped up and said something like:
"Starting the software not possible. In order to start Motorola Phone Portal you have to shut down all Motorola PC software and your phone has to be in one of the following modes: PC Mode, PC Tools or Portal Tools [not readable].
Open USB connection on your device and select either PC Model, PC Tools or Portal Tools"
This message keeps poping up if USB Debugging keeps enabled. Once I disable it and select Portal and tools again no pop up happens but no software (at least visible) starts. Should there pop up something? Start Motorola Phone Portal at device plug in is enabled. Or is this a normal behaviour at all?
Thanks.
Check out device manager in your windows if you have any question marks after connecting your defy to it properly (usb debugging and phone portal on). Maybe you do need some extra drivers on this one.
Well, now i got tired of this and I flashed a SBF with Froyo. Now I`ll trie flashing CM again.
Thanks anyway!
Hello, I have a sprint Samsung galaxy s4 that is on version 4.3 and latest bandwidth, I just rooted it and I'm about to try adding a custom rom to see if it can fix my issue.
My issue is that I can't pay sprint bill so, it's deactivated by Sprint and when I updated from 4.2 to 4.3 my wifi stopped working and now I can't get it to work again. I just want to use my device with wifi for now. If anyone can solve this issue please write on my thread and help me out.
Thank you for your time.
The custom rom just finished downloading and now I can't transfer the zip file on to my phone's internal storage, it keeps getting denied. Anyone know how to get it on the without an sd card?
I just tried copying the zip folder to the sd card and it's not letting me. HELP?

have someone download it for you and BT it over......bout the only other way....you should check and make sure that your phone is mounted to your computer correctly and that your trying to place the .zip in the correct storage location. also i usually have USB debugging on and have never had any problems.....to turn on usb debugging go to about phone>tap on where it say build number 7-9 times untill developer options are enabled>check usb debugging. hope this helps
If you have another Android device you can use superbeam on both to transfer the file to the device. Download the rom on one device and use superbeam to send it to the S4. It uses QR code so you will need a QR scanner which is in the play store. Or use a card reader to connect to your SD card to move the file. Honestly I would just use superbeam if possible. Have you tried to run Odin or kies to re-install the MJA update?

usb debugging is and was on when I tried doing that. Still didn't work. Beaming won't work for me, no one has an Android that I know of.

there should be no reason you cant just xfer to your phone from your computer. check drivers, security, admin rights. do the same for your device your rooted so make sure there is nothing conflicting. on a side note get a sd card (and sdcard reader for your comp if necessary).....itll make life easier. if you already have one try copying all your files to internal and reformat the card then try again......its something small and simple your missing here. it could even be the cable your using......
Hi Guy's,
I had my Galaxy Note 3 stolen by some dirtbag and looking around for a replacement I decided on the K3. I'm loving it and thanks to Hackerpower's thread have rooted, and flashed it to get rid of all the bloatware etc.
What I am finding though is that when I connect it to my PC it is only showing as a CD with the beijing version of the lenovo manager software showing. I want to be able to transfer files from my PC and vis-versa but no matter what I select I cant access the phone as a storage device like I could with my Galaxy Note 3.
If I select Media Device on the phone I see it as a CD with the above software showing.
If I select USB Storage I get the same.
If I select Camera I get the Phone Storage directory with 2 subfolders DCIM and Camera
I have downloaded the USB drivers from Hackerpower's thread and also tried various other download sites, all act the same. And yes I have selected debug mode but have also tried it with this disabled and same result.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is the ONLY thing marring this great phone for me.
BTW I'm using Limonchello as the ROM.
Cheers
Install "Windows Media player 11" on pc, and you will resolve.
ps. Search on Youtube WMP11 installation
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
