Hello There...
New to the forums, keep up the good work !
Is there a way to get access to the windows folders when you connected via USB ? I can access the internal storage but can not access windows folders etc...any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi
I managed to root my Galaxy (using Odin). It seems to have worked cause I have the super user Icon in my apps.
Stupid question but how can I transfer files (mp3 etc) from my pc to my phone?
Stupid question = stupid answer:
use your usb cable/bluetooth/internet
Install kies or apply mass storage mode on your phone and connect phone to pc ..
Not that simple
Windows sees the CD cards but not the files on them. Ah I just solved this. I found out you need to click a button for Mass storage.
Kies doesn't work at all after I rooted my phone though
Solved!
Thanks guys!!

don't know how it works on a Mac, but there is no common usb mass storage currently, i think you mean that the internal sd and external sd
where be mounted as drives ...
you only can access the storages when mounted as MTP
hope this helps
Install "Android File Transfer" ( http://www.android.com/filetransfer/ ) and mount your 4X as MTP.
Thanks!

Yea i tried that, tried every connection type but didnt work =\ But thanks for our reply
i installed Android File Transfer and its all good now.
Hi
Would like to know if, when you try to access your data stored on the external SD via MTP, you can see all of your files ?
(Using Windows)
This MTP thing is a real mess for me, I can never have the full access to my files. With the Razr i I only have 2 folders with some media files when I open the device with Windows explorer... there should be a plenty of folders and I don't know why I don't see them and how I can see them!
Tks
PS: even with the internat storage I don't have full access. for example, if I create a zip file with some file explorer on the phone, it never show on the MTP device!
Give me back UMS !
That's normal, MTP is a very special mode, so you can't modify files or see some files..
But I don't understand why there isn't an usb mass storage when the phone is connect ?

I would love to have the answer
@ this time: no UMS on the Razr i ...
Then use PTP, it maps /sdcard and /external1 to your computer, you can clearly access them via a normal file manager.
PTP is worst ... it's made only for pictures!
There is no USB Massstorage from 4.0 upwards cause google decided to remove this feature....
ptp is made for pictures but it also can be used for normal files but mtp is prefered....
i am on ubuntu and after a nice little tutorial i am mounting my phone via mtp and i can modify and see everything, its mounted as usb would...
havent tried to see the external card because its ext4 formatted and running arch linux so

I know Google decided to remove ums on the stock Android. But it's not on obligation and constructor have all right to put it if they want.
BTW, I saw same screenshot of a razr vd or a razr maxx which has ums!
I'm running Windows and use Total Commander. There is a great plugin "totalanddroid" that gives me access to all my files (SDcard and internal memory). It uses adb and runs with USB connection or Wifi connection. I tried to find some adb explorer that runs without Total Commander, but none of them is really working on my machine. But maybe you'll have a bit more luck (my phone is not yet rooted, sometimes this seems to be a prerequisite).
NICE

It sounds like you're trying to use it on your internal memory, which won't work because it needs the system to mount it using MTP. If you're trying to use it on your Sdcard, then just remove the sdcard, put it in an Sdcard adapter, and connect that to the computer, which will be properly mounted and recognized by your operating system.
You can't do it directly from the phone without an OS to mount either of the memories; also, I've never heard of of any software recovery working on MTP. Storage drives generally have to be mounted as mass storage devices, not MTP.
Sony Pc companion will only see the phone in mtp but I can access the internal memory from there. That being said I can only access the sd card throw the computer I think this is because pc companion loads adb drivers when I run throw the program and takes them off when I close the program I want to have free access to the internal memory with out using the pc compaion maybe leave the drivers on the pc. please help

Yes, but I think you're missing the point that MTP won't work. Even on the Tenorshare website it says you have to enable USB storage when connected to your PC, in other words, MSC, not MTP, in other words, it doesn't read the internal memory.
http://www.tenorshare.com/guide/how-to-recover-android-data.html
Windows doesn't need adb drivers to communicate between MTP devices. You still haven't stated which memory you're trying to recover files from... can't help you if you don't answer simple questions.
Yes I agree with you I need to be in msc mode to see the internal memory. When I am in msc my computer will not recognize my phone. The only way I can access my internal memory is throw the sony software pc companion the software loads sa0105 adb interface driver every time I use the software and takes them back off when I close it. I can go throw internet explorer and see the drivers but I cant copy or move them. I am just trying to access the drive without using the software. sorry for the confusion thanks for your help

Ok, well, I'm not trying to be rude, but I don't see what you're agreeing to, because that's not what I'm saying. The internal storage can't be mounted as MSC, so you'll never see it mounted in Windows, no matter what you try, even if your PC were able to recognize your phone.
If you were trying to recover data from your external memory it would be an entirely different story. You could connect it to your computer with an adapter like I said earlier and then recover the data.
Is this the same person having a laugh or what, I am laughing my head off

Hello fellow Taskers,
i hope my thread title describes what i want, but if not here's what i'd like to happen.
Whenever i connect a USB Stick via OTG to my N9005 i want it to sync (copy and only add new(er)) files from my Internal SD Card to the USB storage i connected.
I have no idea how to make this work so i completly rely on the skill of you guys here =)
i hope you can help me make this work, or maybe offer a different approach if that's not possible.
thanks in advance! =)
