Hi All,
Have a strange problem that i just cant seem to solve. When i plug with Nexus 4 into PC all my files appear but not correctly. I have attached a picture. As you can see all folders are just a white icon which do nothing. Files are accessible on phone and through Airdroid to PC just fine, but i cannot get to my files through USB connection.
I have tried multiple PCs and data cables, i have reinstalled all drivers, i have rescanned media library , booted into safe mode also, fixed file permissoin via TWRP, cleared data from Media Storage App all to no avail
Running stock rooted kitkat 4.4.2
Any suggestions
Regards,
fabsy

I was previously able to copy files from my pc through USB to the transformer to both the removable and internal memory; however, this week I get a "Cannot copy file; device has stopped responding or is disconnected". I can still browse the files that are there and even delete them, but I cannot copy to either memory area.
I see in XDA and google searched that this error is usually fixed by formatting the drive, but with internal storage?? I dont want to wipe the memory, but I would like to transfer files this way.
I can connect external hard drive through the keyboard dock and transfer files. just not through the provided cable and the PC. I have uninstalled the drivers and rebooted the pc and reinstalled with no luck.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Bump. No ideas?
Btw. I have updated to 3.1 but I had this problem on 3.0
No one else had things problem?
Could it be the cheap ass cable??
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
if i had to guess, i'd just say the cable is bad, or you need to remove and reinstall MTP drivers.
I also have this problem, tried restarting the pad, doesn't work....
If anyone knows how to fix this it'll be greatly appreciated!
Most likely a windows driver issue, try connecting it to a different PC (to narrow down the problem: if it works on a different PC, then we know its a driver issue, if it doesn't then we know the problem is with the Tablet or the cable).
I want to warn you all that, the latest CM10, build 15th August, includes a wiping bug which can wipe your SD cards pictures and videos when it crashes after taking 2 photos (1 photo -> look in gallery -> return to camera and take it -> crash). It will wipe anything you've got, and I also seem to have an issue with getting su rights in terminal emulator, will try adb later.
What happened (external SD):
I took a picture earlier today, the Gallery app crashed. I come now to the laptop to backup my photos, and I connect my phone in CM10 (it's as 2nd ROM, don't you dare to come at me and say "hurr durr kernal not supported and dual boot too" because it's NOT kernel related.
So, I connect my phone, and I see all my folders tripled. DCIM 3x, Music 3x, .antutu 3x, and so on. I'm like "OK, I'm going to wipe the doubles, and all is going to be fine). I erase .antutu folder 1 is OK, folder 2 tells me I lost connection with the phone and folder 3 seems to be the original. I proceed to .estrongs, but I stop there.
I go with Solid Explorer, and I check out what's happening. There are NO tripled folders. I decided to reboot and boot into my primary ROM, CM9. Boot is fine, but I reach gallery, and I see my pictures vanish one by one, and I see that they're being deleted automatically. I have no idea how that can be possible, it was definitely some sort of wipe command from within. As I said, I can't get a logcat right now, and last_kmsg isn't going to help because it's not kernel related.
I now check again on the SD card, 32GB Samsung class 10 SD card, and I see that everything's wiped inside the DCIM folder. Camera, 100ANDRO, and my own personal folder, SC. Everything's gone. Wiped, and deleted, out of nowhere. I have no idea how to retrieve, because it has been wiped and there is no return now.
This is just a warning to you guys using CM10 last build, so hopefully you won't lose the ~500 pictures like me
hey man, plug your sd card to the computer and use recuva, it worked for me when i lost some dead space savegames

Issue is, I'm not home right now and I don't have any microSD adapters near me... All i can do is plug in the phone as USB mass storage and go from there.

You have to be on latest CM10 nightly (15th August) to get Mass Storage.
And thanks a BUNCH! It recovered some pictures, thank God I didn't take many in the last few days....
I am on latest nightly, but nothing happens if I change the Mass Storage option in ExTweaks, any other solution ?

I rooted my S4 l702 to the Google Play edition rom i9505. I didn't have any major problems besides wifi not working. This supposedly can be fixed by installing the newest version of agot. I didn't care and never installed because I was using my main device the nexus 5. I went on vacation and deactivated my line go avoid any chance of roaming charges. I come back and reactivate my lines but the Samsung won't reactivate. I'm not too worried because I figure that it's a Problem with my rom. I was going to back up my pictures from my vacation and restore to factory rom. I spent hours trying to get Windows and OSX to 1) recognize the device and 2) let me transfer photos. I tried using android file transfer and Kies on OSX. I then tried using my desktop running windows. I plugged the device in and Microsoft tries installing drivers. I let Microsoft instal drivers and it still won't let me transfer photos. It continues to search for MTP and never finds it. I them uninstalled the drivers and installed the i9505 drivers from samsung. Same thing 2 of the drivers are there but MTP fAils. I then try Kies which is constantly searching or telling me that my device isn't supported. I really don't know how to get my photos and would appreciate any help! Please ask any questions! Also now windows doesn't even try to instal drivers but it still appears under device manager.
Why don't you just install a newer version first? Or if that doesnt work use a different rom/return to stock? Your internal sd won't get wiped.

I thought about that but I with pure android saving to SD cards isn't supported. I thought you had to wipe the phone prior to restoring or instal a new Rom. Thanks for the reply.

I thought about that but pure android doesn't support micro SD cards and my vacation photos are on the phones internal memory. I could be wrong but I thought you had to wipe the phone prior to installing a new ROM. Thanks for the reply
Did you try to mount it as PTP (Camera) to get your photos?
When connected to USB, pul down the notification pannel and open "Connected as media device". Then select PTP.
It WILL work.

Yeah, I tried that too. Windows was having problems finding camera drivers or something. I'll try again in the morning and let you know exactly what happens.
No custom recovery will wipe your internal sd card by default. You have to manually select it if you want to wipe your internal sd.
When trying to use OTP windows is stuck looking for ore configured drivers.
That weird problem happend to my SM-N9005 running stock rom 4.4.2. Out of sudden all the media on my internal sdcard is not detected i.e songs not detected by jetAudio, videos not detected by MXplayer, and images on QuickPic not detected also. But I can see all my media files still exist and working fine when I access them through any root explorer!!
I tried to fix this issue by fixing permissions of the entire sdcard and tried redo mounting sdcard r/w but nothing helped me. I've no clue how to fix this now.
Did you change something or installed or removed????
Extra details
Am not sure because I don't really know when was the very moment when this happened. But all the apps that installed now are my regular apps and nothing strange.
Extra details: when showing the hidden files I found several .nomedia files were created in certain folders that contain those media, something created it by someway am not sure. Could it be a virus?
Yet I've deleted all the nomedia files as they already cause the exclusion but unfortunately this also didn't work.
Did you reboot ?

Yes, as this was the first thing I did after the panic of noticing the problem.
I there anyway I could manage to format Sdcard contents without touching the system files?
Guys?
try to download and run sd scanner or rescan application or something similar from playstore
After unmounting, all the device storage folders vanished. I tried restarting but it got stuck so I plugged out the power cable. I plugged it back in and I was able to see them again BUT my USB Drive was being detected as a memory card in FX File Manager. Even Xplore and Solid show it with the SD card symbol. FX shows a USB option, but when I click on I get this error (

).
When I plug the drive in, I get a message saying "SanDisk Cruzer Blade safely ejected" and then in a few seconds later, the drive shows up like it would normally do. I did a complete FAT32 format of my USB Drive but still no change. I even used a different USB port. Nothing worked.
I have a Mi Box S/4K which doesn't have any problem with the same operations so I am sure there is some problem with my TV Box.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Try installing ES File explorer. Then plug the drive in and see if it shows as a USB.
Then try use it through it.Uninstall then restart the box.
If that dosent work.
Restart to recovery through adb or the button combination for your box.
Clear cache and reboot. See if it works without issues after that.

I tried both, but it didn't work.
It would suck but you could reset the box to factory and reformat the drive. But you would lose everything.

I am sorry, I should have updated this post. I managed to fix the problem by a method I found on the Shield forums (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforc...no-only-shows-as-safely-ejected-cann/2217355/). But I have ran into a similar problem again.
I installed Aiden's ROM. After opening my USB Drive through the file manager pre installed on the ROM, the USB drive started to be recognized as a media card. I cleared defaults and data and it seemed to fix the problem but when I installed the original firmware of the box, the box can't write to the USB drive anymore. Same with my external hard drive.
