Quick question as the searches are failing me...
I removed the One Click Lag Fix 2.1+ in preparation for the JI6 OTA update. I have not removed my root access yet as I've been told that the update will simply overwrite it back to a "normal" user status. I still have OCLF installed from the market. I removed the ext2 tools also.
After removing the lag fix I was expecting that I would be able to mount my vibrant via USB like I did before I rooted it originally. Sadly this is not the case.
I've made sure to enable the Mass Storage prompt in the Applications -> USB settings, but according to the syslogs on my mac it's not even seeing the SD cards when I attempt to mount them. (No error, no nothing).
Is there something else I have to do to get usb mass storage working again?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Switch the setting To ask you what to do. plug it in, choose Mass storage. then switch it back to just mass storage.
Thanks for the reply but I need a little more detail.
Switched to "Ask", plugged in, chose "Mass Storage".
You didn't say to attempt to mount the drive at that point, and I did choose Mass Storage, but I cannot switch it back to just mass storage as opposed to "Ask" while the USB cable is still plugged in.
So I'm guessing what you meant was: "Set USB plug to 'Ask', plug in, choose Mass storage, do not mount USB, unplug USB cable, change USB plug to 'Mass Storage', plug USB cable back in, attempt to mount."
Is that correct?
all I had to do was just change it from mass storage to ask and them instantly change out back to mass storage

Again, what _exactly_ is meant by this since you cannot change the USB settings from Ask to Mass Storage while the USB cable is still connected?

When you plug your phone into the computer via usb, if the message to mount does not come up in the status bar disconnect the usb cable, go to settings, applications, usb settings, change it from mass storage to ask on connection, and then change it back.
After I did that, I plugged the phone into the computer again and it asked me if I wanted to mount or not.
If this does not work, try turning off debugging and doing it over again.

Ok, this is weird...
I turned USB Debugging on because it was set to off, and now my drives mount correctly.
*shrug* It works now, and that's all that I'm looking for
Thanks for the suggestions everybody!
Err yes. With USB debugging on, it will always work.
To clarify the instructions:
1. Turn on "Ask"
2. Plug into PC
3. Select "Mass storage"
4. At this point, if it shows that you can mount, great.
5. Unplug and switch to Mass storage.
6. when you plug it in, it should always prepare to mount.

Strange, that is what I tried and it did not work until I turned USB Debugging on.
Yeah, I just did some more testing and confirmed that the only way I can get my drives mounted at the moment is to turn debugging on.
You're on a Mac, right? I've read that Macs require the phone to be in debugging mode.

Hadn't heard that before now but based on this and previous behavior it sounds right to me
Thanks for the heads up!

Yeah, not sure if it's because of driver support, but I've read this on a couple forums now.
I did not have to switch settings I just selected mass storage again and it worked.
Is anyone having trouble with mass storage mode on a mac? Do I need drivers?

No problems here, but I usually leave it in Phone portal so I don't have to eject every time. Didn't have to install any drivers.

I AM!
I bought double twist last night just so I could transfer music via WIFI. When I plug the phone in to my Macbook an autorun file mounts and gives me an .exe setup to run. But... Mac's don't like exe's.
My n1 would plug in and mount no sweat - so I'm not sure what needs to be done to this thing.
EDIT:
I should clarify that I have not installed an SD card. I'd like to figure out how to mount the internal 16G flash drive.

Enable usb debugging in settings>applications .. then connect the phone to your mac and set it to usb mass storage mode..
It should get mounted in finder at that point.

seriously... is that all it takes?
Cool - I'll try it tonight.
Thanks.
Thanks!
Strange thing is I did that earlier today but it didn't work... just did a reboot and tried that again... it worked.

This is correct.
I accidentally deleted some important photos which stored in my S4's internal SDCard. So I connected my phone to PC through USB cable, and plan to run some recovery tools from PC to get them back. However, when connected, my S4's identified as MTP (portable media device) rather than USB Mass Storage, therefore those recovery tools can't do anything.
I googled the net and found some apks that help my phone to switch between MTP/USB mode, however this method only works for external SDCard.
Any ways to retrieve accidentally deleted files? Thank you in advance!
p.s. I do heard about that flash TWRP in will help the PC identify the phone as a USB Mass Storage Device, is this true? If it's true, how do I do it?
Thx!!!

Thanks, but no this was exactly the app I used, it can't mount the internal card. If you read carefully the author also says 'It will never be able to export the internal storage on the device.' All my deleted pics are on the internal card so....
Hi everyone,
i want to connect my Nook to my PC, which is running Kubuntu. I already activated USB Debugging but i'm not able to find the MTP Mode on the Nook. It's supposed to be under Settings - Device - Storage right? Under USB Storage there is only one option called "Mount SD card: Insert an SD card for mounting" which i can't activate. There are no other USB options. Could anyone please tell me how to switch to MTP? Thanks.
Edit: I'm using CM 10.2

First, you do not want USB debugging on if you want MTP. Second, the MTP should be under storage, but under the advanced setting when you press the menu key.

If you can enable USB debugging, you can pull it from the phone. This command pulls whole internal storage to the adb folder.
Code:
adb pull /data/media

From my phone or PC?
PC: 0 files pulled
Phone :device not found
Im on CM11 now.
It would be nice if I can restore a few pics.
There was more than 1000 pictures and now all files are gone.
Would Android not remove the mass storage mode it would be much easier -.-
Mass Storage feature is gone from Android itself, there is one app on the xda, that allows it, but I can't find it right now.
You said you have pictures on your internal storage, now you say they are all gone. What happened?
What do you mean by "From my phone or PC"?
I mean, from which terminal I should start that "adb pull..."
From the phone right?
I was in TWRP and there was an button" format data" or something like that and it formatted everything but I didint read that really.
There is an app which starts with the letter "S" but it´s not for the note 3.
Cant download it from playstore. no support.
Yeah I know, it makes everything very difficult
You are at dead end unless you find a good recovery program for Android. I am not familiar with those so I am unable to give advice on this.
I dont try anyome.
I can live without that pictures I think
But thanks for your help.
Damn MTP
