Not showing up in Windows Explorer... - Galaxy Note II General

Hey,
I flashed Resurrection Rom 4.4.2 today, restored all my apps etc etc, but now I have a problem..... When I plug my phone into my computer to move some music to the SD card, it doesn't show up in the drive list. I have the latest drivers installed, it shows up in devices and printers. Is this a problem with the rom? (Not have a box ticked) or is this a driver issue (not have the correct drivers)
Would appreciate all help

Is it a rom problem. Some custom roms have that. You have two choices. 1) use an ftp app and move files that way or 2) change rom.

on my transformer when i had the same issue i removed all the drivers and on reinstall the drivers installed fine
I have done so and i do have usb debugging and still same issue. Dont know what else to do. By the way i am running Vista

Do you have multiple android devices installed? I have had the same issue when I tried to install drivers for my p6800. Deinstalled htc software AND drivers, then tried again, worked perfectly.
No, no other drivers. I recently reformated my laptop and still a no go. Whatever items do install it allows me to access both external and internal drives, but those 2 items dont and just get "drivers not installed"

Access Internal Memory with PC

Hi,
i am fairly new to android coming from ios.
I opened my s3 and its:
ap i9300buale6
cp i9300bule6
csc i9300vfgale6
android 4.0.4
Then i did the following:
- Using Odin i flashed CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar.
- Using Google Play installed Busybox
- Using EFS_Pro_1.12.6_Release a EFS backup (tar)
- Using CWM i created a Nandroid backup in the internal storage (got no SD)
Thats where i am at now.
My goals are now.
1. Get the nadroid backup somehow from the internal memory to the PC
2. Update stock firmware and root again
3. Access and edit the Host file
How do 1 and 3 and with which tools?
I tried FTPServer and used FlashFXP on my PC, i can successfully connect but FlashFXP (and firefox) cannot list directories or files from the S3.
thanks in advance
I am confused. Why go through all this process for (1)? Just connect your phone to your pc with usb and copy the folder located in clockworkmod/backup.
The hosts file is located in /etc/hosts but you're gonna need a root file manager like Estrongs File Explorer (market, free), to edit it.
Edit: if you just want to get rid of ads, install and run Adaway (market, free as well).

because when i connect the s3 to the pc i cannot browse the s3 at all.
it doesnt appear in the explorer but at the same time efs made a backup and
obviously found it
What OS are you using? Win7? Enable usb debugging in Settings->Developer in case it helps.
Also when you connect your phone, does it show anything regarding USB on its statusbar/notification?
Edit: If all else fails, I'd suggest downloading this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488 . Among other things it can install the correct drivers for you.

Quite frankly you don't really need to install kies. Personally I've only used it once and it's a PoS.
Download that program from the thread I linked earlier, run it and follow the instructions to install the drivers. You should be good to go.

Happy you figured it out.
You're on Verizon? If yes, you're in the wrong forum. This is for the international version of GS3, so make sure you don't flash anything from this section.

You may need the USB drivers - I tried Search to give you a link here but Search is "Temporarily Unavailable" Then your PC should see the phone and, when you get one, the ext SD card. You should make it a priority to get a card as you can backup to it or move backups etc. to it using something like EFS Explorer or other root enabled file manager.
Then, if you can't get your phone to show in Explorer, you can simply remove the SD card and use a card reader to transfer stuff to the PC. Then, if you STILL can't see the phone, I'd be speaking to the vendor about possible faults/solutions.
Found a location for DL'ing the USB drivers - http://d-h.st/h11. Hope it helps...
i am in the right forum i am from germany
Hm... I think I must have forgotten to refresh the page before I posted, Last post I saw was at 10:49 but the issue was resolved in later ones and before I posted. Strange...
Not sure if the Nexus drivers are the same as my link (earlier version also) but they should be - they are for the PC not the phone so I doubt there'd be specific customisation in the driver file. You may want to update to v1.5.4.0 anyway... Just run the file with Admin permissions and it should install over the top of the older drivers.

Files don't show in MTP mode

When I move some files to mnt/sdcard on my phone and connect the USB cable, the files don't show on Windows XP computer.
On another thread it was explained that the MTP service doesn't automatically index files but an app called SDrescan can
do it manually. I found out that restarting the phone makes the files available on the computer.
Is there better way to do this?
Is this only a WindowsXP issue?
[edit]
It's now clear that this is an issue with Android.
How did it work on older versions? I'm running 4.2.1
I got the same problem on Windows 7

I have the same problem on Fedora Linux using MTPFS. I gave up on MTP and use adb to push & pull files or directories. I have seen people recommend airdroid. But never used it myself. You can also try Droid Explorer.
Yeah, that's an issue on MTP's side, not XP or 7

No USB Options ... none.

Help... picked up a G2 last month. Stock, factory reset. Everything was cool.
Did the OTA update to Lollipop.
Now I have No USB options.
No media sync (mtp), no camera option (ptp), whatever else is supposed to show up in the pull down shade that doesn't.
Nothing.
MTP drivers of all flavors fail to install.
There's no way for me to connect to my pc.
No way to tranfser files.
No way to root.
No way to try and flash a rom.
No way to brick my phone :/
Any thoughts on how to resolve this would be appreciated.

install es file manager and simple copy paste the whole dcim/pictures folder to pc over the wifi network... (just make sure that pc folder is visible on the network - make it shareable)
- i use this all the time for copying files from pc to my phone when i'm too lazy to sit by the computer
or you can use quickpic's integrated wifi transfer option which can transfer pictures to any other device that also has quickpic installed...
I have the same problem and i want to root the device but I can't do it without the usb. I tried to use various apk root apps but all fails. Any suggestions?

I had same issue after updating to lollipop through the lg software. I have uninstalled all the drivers related to LG and plugged in the phone and it started working.
I have deleted them by going to Device Manager, then from the top menu click on View then select Show hidden devices then expand Portable devices from the list and uninstall your LG phone from there. Try to do that while your phone is connected. Then once you have uninstalled it, reconnect your phone.
Also, have you tried connecting your phone to different PC?
Yes, i tried with various pc and various os such as linux. Nothing. There are not working also the usb otg memory.

Unable to backup to computer

Wanted to backup internal storage to pc, which I have done several times before but doesn't seem to work at all now.
Windows 7, have adb drivers installed. Tried copying files thru adb pull, copy on twrp mode and normal mode to pc but it doesn't copy all files and folders.
Have tried installing Huawei drivers and same results.
What am I doing wrong?

Don't have another. For now used third party app to back it all up.
Will try a different system and/or cable.
Which app did you use if i may ask?

I'm glad I searched a little more; I was about to start a thread but since my problem parallels yours fairly closely, I'll post here as well.
My problem has been trying to transfer nandroid backups from my twrp folder onto my PC. My drivers are functional and everything; my PC has no problem identifying my nexus, and my nexus is available (once plugged into my PC) to be opened, where I can view the files. I simply went to my twrp folder where my backups were and I tried just dragging them into a folder I had created on my desktop.
At first it just gave me a short, simple error message. So I created a couple folders within this folder, each with the name of the corresponding backups I have saved on my phone. I tried copying the files one at a time, and realized it was the very first file (boot.something.win) that was the only one unable to be transferred... The other file sections from the backup seem to have no problem.
I ran into similar issues with my type-c flash drive when I tried moving the backups onto it. It left out the first file, and changed another one of the files-- I'll try and grab some picks, or at least find out specifically what changes were made.
Running resurrection remix 5.7.3 with elemental x kernel.
Boot your phone to recovery then plug it into the computer and then u can copy your TWRP Backup's to computer fine.
This is how I do it

Niiiice, yeah I will try that and see what happens. For some reason it wouldn't transfer to my type c flash drive i n recovery, but we'll see. Actually now that I think about it, I might not have ever gotten around to trying that yet, either.
'Preciate it brother.
Sometimes i cant get files to transfer. Ive had to bluetooth them.
