Can't access internal storage files via Android File Transfer - Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So here is the issue: I'm on Mac, OS El Capitan. My Zuk is detected via adb, fastboot and also AFT. It shows my whole internal storage structure. I can access the folders without any files in it. But when I want to access for example Downloads or DCIM folder, it says it can't access phones storage.
Just to get sure, it is not the common MM error in the beginning. MTP mode is on, it detects my phone, it shows my folder structure.
I even moved a single file outside the folders at the beginning at my internal storage. It shows me that file! But when I want to copy it into my desktop AFT says that the file can't be copied. Seems to be a permission issue maybe?!?
I plugged my phone also via usb into a windows PC, everything works fine... Hope some guy can help me out.
PS: I am on Unofficial CM13 from @MrColdbird , but had also some issues before...

nobody?

... this is really annoying.

You need to have your screen unlocked when you try to transfer a file. I'm on a mac too and don't have problems to transfer files.
Edit: You can also use a ftp server app on your phone and up and download files with FileZilla. That's what I usually do.

Na bro, it's nothing that simple...there is something specific going wrong. I know about ftp,superbeam and stuff. But I seriously want this to work, this is sometimes just the more easy way for me.

Still nobody?

Fixed it. File Permissions in internal storage seemed to be messed up as I assumed in the beginning. When trying to change them in Root explorer permission was denied, but now I did in in recovery mode...Don't know why I didn't do it in the beginning.
Sorry for disturbing guys.

Do not do Fix permissions!!! This will probably bring your device into boot loop in just make you format everything and reflash your system. I have rather changed permissions within internal storage with chmod 755.

I have the same issue, so have you solved or not?

The issue was solved completely otherwise. Even though I could transfer on Windows PC, it seemed that my cable was not actually a data cable, but more of a charging cable only. I have a USB Type C - to Micro USB adapter now, and with plugging in a Micro USB cable everything works fine for me.
Hope it helps.

Well, first of all thank you for your reply. I'm using the original cable provided with the power supply, maybe I should try with another cable. Thank you

I also tried formatting my sd card using a card reader, but it wont format it
I want to flash a new ROM, any way of doing it without an activesync connection? i managed to get the NBH image on my sd card by using another storage card but i still couldnt establish an activesync connection.
Any help would be much appreaciated as this is driving me crazy
Thanks, Dan.

Just checking, you did update your usb drivers according to this guide?
Otherwise, do you not have access to another pc?

Have you tried a simple thing like rebooting the pc? That sounds however more like a hardware issue on the pc or phone. What happens if you plug another usb device into the port eg a usb flash drive, does that pick up? In your device manager, are all usb devices functioning properly? Perhaps try to roll back the drivers on the ports if possible and re-install the usb driver update.

If you've changed usb cables, and you've checked the usb to connection setting is not on advanced, then it means the usb port & possibly main board are damaged. Did you hardspl your device?

[Mysteriously solved] Can't transfer files to/from internal storage via USB

Hello. Today I wanted to transfer a movie from my PC to my N7 aaaand... something has happened.
When I go to my internal storage on my PC it doesn't show the blue bar below the name that tells how much free space I have: http://i.imgur.com/kOSjhb3.jpg
When I try to copy a file from the internal storage to the PC it says "Undefined error"
http://i.imgur.com/AZrgG8Y.jpg
And when I try to copy a file from the PC to the internal storage it shows that it's copying but the bar doesn't move and after 5-10 mins it says "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected."
http://imgur.com/OuthPXg (this pic was taken from Google images, I think the person who captured it had the same problem :cyclops
I tried with USB debugging on and off, redownloading and reinstalling drivers, rebooting - nothing.
I did a clean install with the Android 4.3 factory image a couple of days ago but I don't see how that can be a problem because yesterday I copied a bunch of avi. files to my tablet and today it just doesn't want to do that. *sigh* technology...
Have you tried using ADB to push or pull?
I have problems copying only if I'm not using the original N7 cable. Using the original cable, I get fast, reliable read/write throughput between my N7 and pc. I have one 3rd party cable that when I use it to copy from pc to N7 the 'copying' window comes up, but doesn't show the file copying and eventually hangs, but the file does copy and appears on the N7.

Well that's great but I wanna fix this. My little brother won't know how to use this.
Ok I just checked now and it everything was ok. I have no idea what happened but now everything seems to be working fine, I am transfering my movie now

[SOLVED] This device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.

Whenever I plug in my S4, it seems fine. Drivers are installed correctly since I rooted fine and that also means the USB is fine.
The problem arises when I try to copy any file to my phone. It plugs in, allows me to switch it between Camera (PTP) and Media Device (MTP). I have tried turning USB Debugging on and off when transferring files and on both Camera and Media Device.
When I copy a device into any folder or the main card or phone directory, it starts copying, the green bar stops and then after a second the following message comes up:
"This device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected."
It allows me to Stop copying or Skip this file... which is the only file.
Any ideas on what is causing this and what I could do to try and fix it?
Use a different cable or usb port. Something is causing the phone to stop communicating with the computer. Also, make sure you don't have any power saving features enabled that may be turning of power to the usb port in Windows.
I've tried that and it still has the same issue.
Just unrooted and performed a factory reset. My phone is totally stock and doesn't allow me to copy any files onto it.
Does anyone have any idea?
[SOLVED]
Solved this by taking out my SD card, restarting my phone, putting the SD card back in and formatting it.
You can format by going into Settings > More > Storage > (Scroll to bottom) Format SD Card
That's right, it was not easy to find... Thanks!

Effectively, you have to turn off the ENERGIE ECO on your Tablet.
another way to see that the SDCARD is not responding, is to browse inside the Folders. They seems to be empty.

i was getting the same problem,so i uninstalled the driver and then connected the mobile .
secondly i also have installed wondershare mogile go on my mobile and pc , so when i connected my mobile to pc after uninstalling the driver the mobile go pop up came up for usb installation and it asked for installing the usb driver for mobile go ,it asked me to swithonn the usb debugging ,and it installed the driver then it just worked fine .
may be it was a mobile go problem (any software) or Driver Problem but it helped so no need to format,reset or remove your card . just try this and tell wat helped.thank you.
This is a Driver Problem.
All I had to do was plug the usb cable into the usb port that i installed the device to. My PC won't read the phone right from any other USB port. I hope this helps
Im not sure if this thread is too old or not, just wanted to give my imput on the matter, so I ran into this issue just today but i had never had it before, turns out it was the file, I did everything I could think of : played around again with the USB port selective suspend feature and it wasnt that, plugged into other USP ports, want that, untill I tried copying something else and BINGO, the file got copied, so I tried with a folder full of different files like word, excell APK files etc...and they all went through fine, so next i tried a lange file a movie and it went though fine. the file in question was a nighlyROM apparently it was corrupt, or didnt download properly. So my suggestion is to check if you can copy or transfer other files.:good:
it didn't work for me
you have to fix permissions
it happened to me on my gt-n7100 (Galaxy Note II ) with android 4.4.2, you have to install TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project see how then reboot into recovery select ''advanced'' hen ''Fix Permissions'' that worked for me
you can use chmod to fix this it works too

This did it for me. I already had TWRP installed and after quickly doing this I was able to copy to/from my SD card. It also fixed the problems I was having copying/moving things from internal storage to the SD card using ES.
FYI, It also caused XPosed to break until I rebooted again.
THANKS SO MUCH!
Doing this now, thanks so much! Wonder why that happens.
Didn't work unfortunately. Other files seem to be moving over just fine. All except this 1.6GB file (checked space, that's not the issue), where I cannot send either to Internal or SD Card. Maybe it's a corrupt file?

Yeah! Exactly! I was trying to copy an unfinished movie that was still downloading in torrent. It was stuck at 98.8% and it was playing fine in my computer. Only this file was not copying in my phone. and anyways i couldn't get it to my phone because it never downloaded 100% due to lack of peers, and i could copy other files. This means MTP mode does not allow to copy corrupt or half files and there is no mass transfer mode now a days...
---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------
I was able to copy the unfinished file by mounting External SD in TWRP btw....

I've changed the file type which was a (.zip) to a (.mp3) and transferred the file. It worked.

This is the answer to this thread!
Guys this is dumb but instead of moving the file that wasn't working onto my SD card, I just moved it to my phone and it worked the first time.
Another fix - go to usb options, set to use as USB 3.0 device
Since this is the first thread that seems to come up when I googled the issue, I'll post the fix here...
though I'm on a Galaxy S5, not the S4. I'm guessing it's the same deal.
When I plugged in with USB and tried to copy a 1.2 gig file, it gave me the error message, though many large files had worked in the past.
I tried a reboot, pulling the SD card, and making sure my USB hubs didn't have the "let windows shut this off to save power" option checked.
So I tried pressing the "Connected as a media device via USB" notification when I slide the notification bar down. There are 3 options, MTP, PTP, or USB 3.0.
I changed to USB 3.0 and the file copied fine, and much faster too, about 1.5 or 2 minutes for 1.2 gigs.
This actually works.... - Raj

Usb problem

Can anyone tell me why when i connect my lenovo k3 the pc doesn't read the storage? It was working before, i could copy paste songs,movies etc but now suddenly it stopped, i didn't update anything, when i use the es file explorer everything is working good, but when i connect it to the pc than my pc does detect the internal and external storage and i can see all the sub folders, but i cannot see the files inside nor copy paste anything in or out, why? Using Vibeui 3.0_1553 Dev.
1.Its conected as Media Device(MTP)

Yes i have tried the other usb options, charge only than revert back, doesn't seems to help, i just dunno how it can read the phone, it can read the sd card and the internal memory but it doesn't read the files, very weird, if it was the port of the usb or the cable it wouldn't have read the phone at all but it does read it so i dunno what i can do, anyone can help me?
Based on what you're saying, I have to say the fault is most likely at the other end - on the pc. More often than not, something changed on the pc, windows update, antivirus patch, driver update, settings changed by apps etc that kills connections. Quick way to test is to connect your phone to another pc but I guess you already know that. Swapping cables sometimes helps too. I know it does for me. My e-cig usb cable works better than all my other phone maker supplied cables that I've collected over the years. Go figure.

File transfer not working properly

Hello guys, i've got some problem with file transfer both in pc to op5 and op5 to pc with USB, i don't know why but apparently the problem affect only medium to big files. I can transfer little files like jpg, while i have some problem with mp3, sometime work sometime not, if i insist generally work. If i try with huge files like the OTA now that i'm trying to upgrade the oxygen is not working at all. I suppose the drivers are properly installed since i can open the folders inside pc. Obviously the debug usb is active, i tryed to enable mtp in developer option (is normal that there isn't any mtp selection in the four transfer available? even if enabled mtp i still see "recharge" "file transfer" "photo transfer ptp" "midi"). I usually select file transfer, i don't even know what MIDI is and ptp is only about photos. The phone is rooted with the last official twrp and last magisk, the os is OOS 4.5.8. and is still encrypted. PC is with windows 10
edit: i can't even copy/paste those big files from a folder inside the phone to another one always in the phone.

Might be a long shot but try doing a simple restart of your phone and computer and see if that helps
