Idk an easy way. I put my card in the CPU, the back in the phone and transfer it to the internal from there. Sucks, yes

You need to install something extra to get MTP support on OSX or so I hear, once that's installed you'll be able to see the S7 with HC installed.

[Q] Trying to run android on 7inch netbook

Hey, Im trying to install and run android x86/arm on a 7 inch cheap netbook from eBay. I know it can be done "watched on youtube" but i follow the tutorials, download file extract the "script" folder to SD card, insert SD card into netbook, power on and it should start installing android.
This does not happen so tried with "unetbootin" to the SD card, inserted into netbook, power on....still nothing and boots straight into Windows CE each time.
Can anyone help me out ?
I'm assuming it doesn't have a DVD slot?

Nope, no cd/dvd drive (i wish) and usb does not support 2.0, so cant use an external dvd drive either.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4FwFR4DRfU yeah its the exact same as the one in the video, and u can buy them with android on them now from eBay.
I think I'd be tempted to get one and put Ubuntu on it.
Well yeah that would work, its for a 11 year old, would they understand ubuntu, and would wifi and facebook is all that really needed to work. And i need it to reconise the sd on boot.

There is no bios, to change OS u need to do it all from a SD card, not usb supporeted. If u watch youtube ^^^^ and you will know what i mean, my problem is it wont boot from the SD card.

did you try to clean format your sd card before installing?
use a tool called hp usb storage tool, google it, you can find it in softpedia and format the sd card using it, usually solves a lot of boot problems
Tried formating with the tool to FAT32, copied the script for android to SD, nothing booted into CE and so...tried live usb creator to make the SD bootable still nothing boots into CE.
Really annoying

yeah it sounds weird, he got into the setup without pressing anything, hmm, did you try another sd card?
Now that u mention it im using a 8gb micro sd in an SD adapter.
Try a smaller card . Maybe a phone or some other powered device as the "card reader". Just throwing out ideas. GL.
Does the device even recognize the card when powered on normally? Like as a storage device?

Yeah it reconises the SD card when i plug it in to the slot, and can view the files on it.
Does an ubuntu ARM image work

Connecting Kaiser to PC with USB

Hi, I need your help guys . How can I connect Kaiser to PC and access SD card? I use Windows 7, Kernel With Separate Cache Partition and vIncubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 . Thank you guys very, very much .
i don't known, .....................
I'll wait for some answer, for sure it's possible somehow .
it won't work on windows systems. It works on linux and mac. Either get one of those or downgrade to .25 kernel if you really want usb storage on windows.

Use dual mount widget. Windows will find memory card as flash drive.

[Q] Not able to Mount USB Storage in CWM

I recently upgraded from CM7 XRON to Classicnerd ICS and for some reason, I cannot access the USB Storage via CWM or through MTP in ICS. The only way that works for me is to boot up WebOS and mount the USB drive. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this same issue, or is aware of a fix for it? Thanks!
Make sure MTP is set under storage settings.
I also found I had to disable USB debugging under the developer options to connect to my XP PC.
I did both of those things, that is what is so strange. I am on Windows 7. Oh well, at this point I will just boot into webOS to access the sd card, just a pain to do that.
Use airdroid....no need of USB mounting....

I just had the same problem. Updated from Xronified CM7 to CM9. USB won't work in either mode.
update: Found the solution here...

I seem to have problems with certain USB ports on my laptop. One will not work at all while the other works fine. I always recommend trying an alternate port on your laptop/desktop if you think all your settings are fine in CM.

Internal/external cards won't mount + No rom to boot

Hello, Finally made an account after lurking and flashing for a few months. This one is really stumping me...
SO.....
I was going to do a new install and wiped everything. I was trying to get the full size of my external 32gig card back after partitioning it for a app2sd setup and formatted it with disk utility(OSX). I ended up formatting the internal(I Know) by accident being a fast-click McGraw. I caught my mistake and formatted the external like originally planned. I think I formatted them to vfat.
After all this formatting, CWM and ADB won't mount my disks. CWM will not format them either because they won't mount. I have no rom loaded to boot into and I can't flash a new one because neither drive will mount.
I have been trying what seems like so many different things to include trying to make an EFI bootable Linux Live usb(didn't boot). This issue would probably be fixed by now if I wasn't using OSX but hey, it's what I have to work with. If anyone can help end my multi-day madness with a solution, great appreciation would be had.

Is there a linux or OSX solution? I have no problem running a Linux VM. I really don't want to have to sign up with M$ if I can avoid it.

Yea i understand im not a big of ms. Running Linux isn't really beneficial since you can do everything in osx. You can even compile but getting some packages is a pain. Anyways can you not push anything to / or does that partition not even exist? You could try mounting USB storage from recovery but i doubt that would work. We don't have hiemdal for this phone or you could use linux. Windows might be your only option find an iso somewhere if you don't want to register or download enterprise 7 by providing whatever the info it asks for, make it up.

Use this command or something similar.
./adb push /file path of ROM /
But if USB works then when its mounted just put a ROM on drag and drop and flash it.

Got it fixed!
While my Exhibit was down, I started using this Blackberry Curve I have as a backup. Decided to put my microSD in it and formatted it. I saw that it put the card back to its original storage space and got rid of the non-accessible partition. Loaded my backup onto it, CWM finally mounted it, and I flashed it.
Please mark solved or closed

OTG drives and backing up Nexus 6

Since we don't have an SD card slot, I am guessing a lot of folks are using OTG arrangements.
Anyone using an OTG drive with their phone for backing it up and shuttling media files back and forth?
My main need is for an external destination for backups, but I would also like to store a bunch of music for swapping off and on the phone.
I have an older small (16GB) OTG drive that I used successfully on my S4 and G2 and G3, but the Nexus does not seem to want to show the drive when I attach it.
Is there a trick to making it work or is there some hidden setting in Titanium Backup to make it visible as a destination? Is there a "best" file manager to do this?
I am rooted with TWRP and running stock MMB29V.
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
Update: I installed Stick Mount and it mounted my SP OTG drive and I was able to browse it, etc.
Once I did that, Ti BU could actually see it as a destination and I am happily backing up to my (older, smallish) drive.
Now, what bothers me is the dang drive is hot as hell and that can't be good!
Anyone familiar? I only have the one OTG drive so can't see if it is the drive or the phone.
Thanks again.

Thanks for reply.
As I said in first post "running stock MMB29V"
All stock Marshmallow, except rooted and TWRP installed.
Kernel is what came with that I guess: 3.10.40

I do use OTG drives to back up my stuff. I use a 1 TB Western Digital My Passport Ultra to back up with. I prefer to use an OTG cable with a power slot so it can use pretty much any storage medium. I can't use it now because I keep getting Error 255 when it executes createTarfork. Wish somebody would help me with that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/twrp-error-255-t3357541
