Recovery and Mount USB Storage - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I'm using TWRP and I'm unable to mount the USB storage in recovery so that my internal and external SD cards show up as removable drives in My Computer. Can anyone else do this?

I don't think so on TWRP
CWM, I believe so--

On CWM there's not an option. In TWRP there is. But it's not working. I'm thinking it's a drivers issue.

Someone on another thread showed the option and said it works, I believe
I know TWRP it does not

Just wanted to follow-up on this. I'm assuming we're still unable to mount USB storage from either CWM or TWRP recovery?

I haven't researched this as I have an iMac and use Android File Transfer
But, some info thru Google Search
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...amsung-galaxy-s4-storage-and-sd-card-directly

I'd love to have this option working since I'm getting tired of using adb sideload option.

ADB push the ROM file to internal sd
i searched the forum and cant seem to figure out how to get adb to work when i cant boot into a OS
just setup ADB and drivers on your PC and then connect your TF while in recovery to your PC.
Also, some recoveries have the "mount sdcard as usb storage" option, but in this case you'll need an microsd card.

[Q] toggle usb mass storage on recovery?

Hi guys. I am new on this device, and I'm flashing stuff, you know, trying roms....mods, kernels....
on my sensation, with 4ext recovery, I can copy roms, zips and files on the sdcard via USB with the toggle usb mass storage....
I can't find this feature on both cwm and twrp, so I was wondering if there is this feature and I can't see it...
or maybe if 4ext touch recovery is supported on N7
thanks in advance

It's probably because it doesn't exist. You can use wifi transfer apps. Or if you have a otg cable you can use stickmount app and mount a usb stick to it.

help:can't flash ROM as unable to mount sdcard

hello all, my N7 shows upgrading all apps in every boot. i suspect is caused by CWM upgrade through ROM manager but i couldn't prove. i tried many way and erased cache. then i flashed ROM but failed. now i dont have OS. CWM shows /sdcard. /cache is unable to mount seems root cause. i tries nexus toolkit and have same error. i use command line adb still can't overcome. pls advice.

[Q] No USB mount in recovery?

Ive tried both Philz and CWM and mounting the sd card to usb doesn't seem to work in either. On the kindle I can go in and wipe every single thing on the device, mount the sd to usb, and copy over a ROM and Gapps and be on my way. What am I missing with the LG G2?
Im the only one that has usb issues in recovery?
tried twrp 2.7.0.0 and that doesnt work either.

I find it unnecessary to wipe internal sd so haven't encountered your problem, but couldn't you adb push the Rom and gapps to storage/emulated/0 and get the same result? I think usb otg can be used as well but I haven't tried that either.
Setting up adb abd getting the drivers so that each android device is actually recognized in Windows is an incredible pain in the ass.

Stuck after wipe mistake without storage

Hey there.
I accidentally wiped my whole internal storage after factory reset, and now I can't access (copy) new rom to my NS. Tried both TWRP and CWM, but both were unable to mount the storage, and therefore nothing shows up in my PC as removable device. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance :/
I think that you should be able to fastboot an older version of cwm via usb on pc, an older cwm has a working mount storage and you could flas a rom via pc

Oh, why I didn't think of that? Thanks!
But I already figured it out, managed to install new ROM with ADB sideload.
Btw why isn't the USB storage still not working in new TWRP and CWM?

Not quite sure why is it like that, but an older one should do the trick, you can try the latest 6.0.5.0 and see if it works with it
