Hi guys does anyone know if we can get mass storage or usb storage to work after rooting?
I have an Buterfly S that was factory reset and wanted to take back all my pictures and videos that was deleted. However it doesn't seem to be able to go into mass storage mode. Any work around or any rom that can make it work yeT?
All the software that I have downloaded need this feature to work - mass storage.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance...

It's not entirely clear what you want to achieve – do you want to connect a USB mass storage device to your Butterfly S or do you want your phone to act as a mass storage device when you connect it to a computer?
If you want the former, then I'm afraid I can't help you, I haven't ever tried that.
If you want the device to act as a USB storage, then you're out of luck. This was only supported on Android versions before 4.0. In ICS Google removed that feature and instead implemented the media transfer protocol (MTP). When you connect your phone to a Windows or Mac OS computer, it should appear as a regular MTP device. You may have to keep the phone awake and enter the lockscreen pattern / password / PIN / whatever for it to work. If you're using some flavor of Linux, you may have to install some additional packages in order to access an MTP device.

Hey guys I was wondering if any of you know how I can set up android to think my internal and external SD cards are just a single internal SD card. I'm tired of having two mount points on my phone. Thanks for any help.

You can mount on of them as a folder in the other one. But you will need to do this every time after reboot, the phone has to be rooted and you have to do this manually via ADB-shell.
Just use both memories as one big memory is impossible.

hmmm if its possible via ADB, then it can probably be automated via init.d script at every boot
Busybox installer can run scripts at boot.

So I can't fully combine the sd cards, just remount one inside the other??

hi everyone
my first post here and looking for help. ive been struggling for hours to root my samsung galaxy mini. from what ive read it should be far easier than it has been so far! ive been trying to follow the first method here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659534
the only thing is i cant seem to get access to my sd card. i have enabled usb storage on my phone and can access some of the folders on the phone via my laptop but there isnt a folder that says sdcard/ so i dont know how to make this happen? i have kies installed.
i then tried the second method on the link but superoneclick freezes after it kills the ADB server then restarts the server
Any help would be appreciated as i just seem to be going round in circles!
all i want to do is change some app permissions but i seem to have trouble even rooting the thing
root can be easily acquired by the first method of the thread you posted
when you will enable the USB storage only your sdcard will be mounted just as a pendrive then copy the update.zip to the root of the sdcard and start the rooting process
you will not see any sdcard folder, it will be mounted as removeable drive x
Why not just use an update zip its alot essyer and noob proof

Dude when u turn on usb mass storage on your phone, your computer detects it as a removable disk. So it will be H: drive or G: drive or thing like that depending on your computer. Also, to root your phone you just have to do load the upd_1.zip file, copy into root directory, then root via recovery.

hey
I've a question I try to save the data of a friends phone whos screen is broken and dont respond.
Everytime I use
Code:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/ C:\Android
it responds with
Code:
Code:
pull: building file list...
0 files pulled. 0 files skipped.
What do I wrong??
Thanks for your replies
Does really nobody know it?
Or does anybody have a solution the save data from a phone which screen is broken (black) and touch screen doesn't work either and last but not least usb debugging isn't enabled.
Without USB debugging enabled, you can't connect trough adb, try doing "adb devices", wich will probably show nothing, what means that you can't use adb.

I've rooted the phone blind and in the recovery my pc shows the device in the list, status = recovery.
Oh okay, then try to mount sdcard and try again, if that doesn't work, try to unmount it again and try again.

thank you very much for your replie, i tried it with my phone (i9000) and it worked
the problem is that my friend has a Galaxy S3 and i don't know the structure of CWM 5.5...
Well there isn't that much difference between the cwm versions, if you look at it it almost explaines itself
Sent from my awesome fridge
there are some diffrentes between the versions and because i don't see what i do, it's very important to know in which order the things are coming
At the moment the situation is the following:
All the data on the sd got erased (i dont know when), but i have now access to the sd over the pc. The problem is that the S3 doesnt support usb mass storage which means that recuva etc to restore the files wont work.
Are there any other ways to restore the data or to activate usb mass storage?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
not unless you have a TitaniumBackup...if you have CWM 6.0.1.0 mounting USB storage option is in recovery itself
also i have no intention of high jacking this thread but off late i am facing certain weird issues with adb myself Error mounting SDcard
My dont have a TitaniumBackup but that is anyway useless cause he need his pictures etc. Do you have read the whole thread? Because at the moment the problem is that i cant restore the data from the erased sd card cause windows dont detect the Galaxy S3 as a Usb mass storage. And because the screen is broken I also cant try a solution from xda ^^
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Well, the data on your sdcard is gone, if adb won't recognize it. But what files do you want from your sdcard? 'cause when you only need the pictures, it might be auto-uploaded on dropbox or google drive etc
Sent from my awesome fridge
I think you missunderstood ^^ first the pictures arent uploaded to dropbox etc. And the problem first was that i couldnt get access to the data cause he had a pin to unlock which i cant tip in without screen. After flashing a 3 file fw the pin was gone and i could access the data. Unfortunality it also formated the whole SD.
The same Problem happend to my phone and i could restore my data with the program called "Recuva".
The problem now is that the S3 don't have a USB Mass Storage like the S1 and the PC dont detect it as a hard drive so Recuva wont recognize it either
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Well you can always buy a USB stick with sdcard availability, or use another phone with that sdcard to wich does have mass storage enabled.
Sent from my awesome fridge
The problem is, i need the data from this Phone. Accidently it formated the whole internal memory on which everything was (Music, Pictures etc.).
With a Tool called Recuva you can restore deleted files. But Recuva doesn't recognizes the Galaxy S3. Because Galaxy S3 don't have Mass Storage anymore, I thought Samsungs uses now MTP or something like this. And now i need a Tool or something to restore everything from the formated internal SD.
Try searching for that on google.
Sent from my awesome fridge
I did for nearly 5 hours
you're my last hope
All wouldn't be a problem if the screen would work or if my friend enabled usb debugging
Is there any possibility to get into recovery mode and flash a Rom? If yes, you could use a Stockrom with a modified build.prop so USB debugging would be enabled.

Usb debugging dont matter at the moment cause all files are deleted! I need a tool to restore a formated sd

Okay nevermind, it's possible, but to recover the files you need something to pare your sdcard to your PC, do you have any other phone or a USB stick with a sdcard slot?

Hello.
is there any way to connect the tablet as mass storage?
now when i connect it connets as portable device, without a drive letter assigned to it
i need it to be with a drive letter. so some recovery programs would be able to see it (i did it once with other devices that whre before HC)
i tried a few applications that didn't work...
i also tried some recovery apps but wasnt that successfull..
anyway - my best option is mount as mass storage (not MTP or PTP)
would appriciate any help
thank

yes on the kernel too doesn't boot. but months ago it may work if i make a new one today, waiting on the official release of TWRP 2.8.8.0 made for M source to worry about that.
On the kernel is not need because the OS can use NTFS but I try to enable it on the kernel to see if that help on the TWRP but no. :good:
