mmm ok and usb host? works already?
Yeah USB host has always been working (USB OTG). As for the phone's internal storage, that's only MTP at this point.
Since newer android devices store what is essentially the sdcard on the data partition its nearly impossible to mount that as mass storage
It has its benefits, like having more space for storing apps since its all one partition
Now if we get s-off you could essentially repartition the phone to have a sdcard partition but that's just too much of a pain

I've seen mass storage be made to work on the Samsung Galaxy S2, which was also MTP by default
Hopefully its as easy as it was there, where they added a line to the build.prop
I thought MTP mode was a feature that came
With jellybean .
On my
One X this mode only appeared after upgrading from ICS to jellybean and custom Rom has re enabled the facilityto mount as USB mass storage on pc

Does Windows recognize the HTC One as a external drive with MTP? Is it possible to transfer files from PC<->Phone?
Just plug your phone in to the pc. You don't have to enable mass storage, the pc recognizes the built in storage on the phone and you can transfer files to and from the device.
I was going crazy myself, until I just looked under "My computer" to see the phone as a storage device!

Android's been pushing developers to move to MTP only for a long time. Prior, they could use both USB Mass Storage and MTP, because the storage was on a separate partition, but now that it's all on one partition (data), you can only use MTP. This is by design for Android, HTC's just following it. Samsung, of course, rarely listens to Google.

I plugged up to my pc and put albums in the music folder and picture albums in a pictures folder. When i opne the music app, it doesnt see any music and same with gallery, cant see anything only pics i've taken with phone.
To enable mass_storage you have to disable mtp
echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_mtp/on
Your pc will then install drivers for mass storage but the filesystem isn't mounted/binded so it doesn't show you your storage. I'm working on it just for the help of it.
To get mtp back either reboot or send the same command above, but echo 1 > instead of a 0
You may have to reboot pc at this point also if you get a unrecognized device error after disconnecting/reconnecting the device. I'm pretty certain this won't work properly and is fairly useless as well but interesting none the less
MTP is a pain when you are trying to manipulate several files at once. For example, NameEXIF will not work for renaming my pictures.

Samsung uses MTP for both internal and external storage... That's how it works on my S3 and Note 2. There are apps that will enable Mass Storage mode on only the external storage via a script, but that's third-party and not built into the OS.
You can't enable it on internal storage on any device because the purpose of MTP storage is to allow storage to be mounted both on the phone (by Android) and your computer at the same time. That's why only the external storage on Samsung devices can be mounted as Mass Storage (by an app); the external storage doesn't contain anything that needs to be constantly accessed in order for Android to run. However, since the HTC One only has internal storage, it can't use mass storage mode since you'd have to unmount the internal storage to access it from your computer.
tl;dr: No, for technical reasons.
No Mass Storage Mode = No Data Xfer Automation on HTC One?

Here is my issue: It's great that the HTC One support MTP for Interactive "drag and drop" of info off of the One... however I control this from my own .bat script. On my previous HTC (Rezound) I could mount both the Internal and SDCard storage as Mass storage (ie.. F: and G: drives) and then let my script pull off the data I want (which goes beyond photo's and videos to include .WAV files and other data I may have created on the phone that day). Is there a way to automate this transfer from a .bat file using MTP? If not, how do I get my "mass storage mode" back on my HTC One? I am rooted, so there must be a way to do this... I can't be bothered with HTC's Sync Manager since its extremely limited and not designed to go after .wav files or anything custom.
Thank You !

You could use adb push/pull in your scripts instead of using MTP.
I hate what they doing. I always used file manager like TotalCommander to operate on multiple files.
Now htc one s is not visible in total commander. Simple drag and drop is pain in my ass. Wasting of time for me.
If i have to operate in that way, i prefer to back to the state before update. :/
This sucks, and I thought my HTC one is miles ahead than my iPhone 5 thinking I can connect it to any computer and simply drag and drop files

Uhhh, you can do that. If you're on a Mac (which for some retarded reason don't support MTP out of the box), download the Android File Transfer utility. MTP is slower the mass storage mode but it allows the internal storage to be accessed by the phone and computer at the same time.

Thats on Mac but I was hoping i can just plug my android to any phone and it will act as a mass storage without installing any software

Sorry I meant plug it to any computer
Does anyone know how to recover deleted photos off the internal storage? I tried 6 different types of recovery software on my windows pc. None of them can see the phone since we don't have a sdcard.

Bumping this because I'm in a similar situation. I accidentally wiped my photos / videos when I activated the phone (clicked through the screens too fast and didn't know it was being formatted!). I can't seem to get the phone to show up as a drive when connecting via USB (just a "mobile device" with an option to drill down into files), which means I can't use tools like Wondershare or R-studio.
Any advice?
Connect to a PC as USB Storage and use a file recovery program to search the phone from the desktop.

the problem is that this phone connects via MTP and not as USB mass storage, so while you can easily move files to/from the device it cannot be recognized as a drive by your computer.
I think I found an answer in this thread, but I haven't yet tried it. Fingers crossed!
I'm in the same position.. although I backed up photos from the DCIM folder, wifey had made folders which apparently save to media folder so I've lost them..
Like other users I have had the same problem.. the internal storage doesn't show up as a drive and therefore not recognised by the software..
Any other suggestions? Don't want to root the phone..
I noticed that my phone is no longer recognized as a removable flash drive when connected to USB (like my all old devices). But the problem is that copying files to it takes too much time. How to remove this ****ty "Portable Device" way of recognizing my Z1 !?? I want the old "removable flash drive" way of recognizing, AT LEAST for my SD card. I don't care for the internal memory, but I don't want to see my microSD recognized as a Portable Device and I don't want to wait the whole day for transfering only one folder of music.

Anything change if you go to USB Connectivity > Connectivity Mode and select Mass Storege Mode? or Vice-Versa?

Thank you. Somebody told me that this can't be changed but after switching to mass storage my SD card now works normally. Unfortunately, now I can't see my internal storage. But I'll switch to MTP when I want to access my internal storage.

well from day one i always hates MTP as a file management protocol. it lacks so many features and you loose most of your windows right click shell menu. also i find that transferring a lot of files or big files result in the transfer freezing and results in me needing to restart the explorer.exe i know theres a way to mount your external SD as the classic MSC but if you do you cant use your internal memory for the time being. is there some kind of way i can access the internal memory while in MSC?
Well, I turn my phone to Hotspot and connect my pc to it.. Then I use File Manager app to use FTP file sharing through WiFi. So, basically u use WiFi to transfer file from your computer to your Phone (both internal or sdcard) and vice versa. The speed of this connection is around 4MB/s with no Frezee matter and I copied file around 10GB with no problem. Of course, your pc should have WiFi adapter.
Hope That Help
for simplicity sake i dont want to do that, i rather the cable.
Hi ,can anyone recommend a good app for copying/ moving file on an Android device? My Razor2 is rooted, I'm having trouble copying, moving, or transferring files between the system, internal sd, and external sd card.
The Android system sucks, is slow and sometimes hangs up in definitely. Some app don't even see the usb sd cards.
I've used Root Explorer for awhile and I've liked it a lot.
I'll give it a try. It utilizes the external SD card and the USB port, both?

Not sure about the USB port, but it does have access to the external SD.
Solid explorer. It's been my exclusive file manager since like 2012.

I have used it before too. I mostly use Es File Explore. Had very good luck with it. But Android Os has made it very difficult, unreliable, to moving files especially to otg drives. If the aap even see's the drive. I've ftied both last night, and again they don't see the usb otg drive plugged into the phone. The Files system app does. I even had the razor 2 format the drive, but no fix. Moving multiple files with system File app always hangs up indefinitely.
Google's Android Os ain't what it used to be!
I use solid explorer it's a solid file manager!
