Hey Guys
I was hoping that you could help me out. I took some photos with my xperia T and now I want to transfer them to my computer, but when I connect my phone, the folder in which the photos are saved isn't shown. My phone saves photos on internal storage into \storage\sdcard0\DCIM\100ANDRO\pic name , but on the computer there is only DCIM folder and nothing inside it. Even if I go into file explorer on my phone the folders and pictures are there. So I don't know what the problem is and i was hoping that you could help me solve it.
thanks in advance
Try to eject your device and reconnect again
If doesn't work, you can try change connectivity setting
Settings> Xperia> USB connectivity> USB connection mode
Change to MSC
Edit: also check if driver installed correctly

It's weird. . .
Btw, check your system app, if USB connectivity apk still in there
Did you try change to MTP or only MSC ?
MTP for internal storage, MSC only for sdcard

yeah the app is still there, I've changed the connectivity mode, but I still can't see them although if I, for instance zip a few photos and move them to root directory of the SDcard or phone storage I can see that zip with photos in it. I don't know
ok i've solved it. acctualy i didn't do anything i just connected it one day and it worked- i could see all folders and photos and everything. thanks for the help anyway.

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

thanks mate, never knew about this plugin. very nice!
Thanks for the workaround.
I'll use this until we have anoher solution as UMS support throught custom rom.
OK guys I am in a bit of a Pickle here.
I plugged my phone into a PC in Bangkok to print out some PDFs containing flight information.
the pc started making .exe files on my phone with duplicate names of existing folders. e.g i have a folder called media on my phone so an exe called media.exe was created DCIM.exe and so on.
i plugged the phone into my laptop and ESET found a high amount of infiltrations over 400 which it cleaned by deleting. these were all the duplicate . exe files that it flagged as worms and Trojans.
now when i plug my phone into my laptop only certain files are visible. this is on the external SD and the phone itself. the files exist on the phone and SD card as i can see them all in in the explorer app such as all of my pictures and music camera photos etc, but alas the pc will not display these folders but when i click properties on the drive name in my computer it shows the free and used space correctly.
please do you have any suggestions ? my phone is rooted and i am using the alliance ROM. and do not want to brick this device just because of a stupid Asian virus.
thank you for any help you can offer
Alliance rom? JB or ICS?
Cuz in JB there is an issue with mtp of not displaying all files.
In ics, you can try to format your internal sd card and restore the data and check.
For this boot into recovery. Go to mounts and storage and mount usb storage. Connect to pc and this time you should see everything. If yes, copy all data to pc and format the storage using pc or format/emmc. Then put back the data. Reboot and check.
It is Alliance Rom ICS. so you mean format the phones SDCARD and the External SD card in recovery mode ?
yes either using the recovery option or using the drives displayed on the screen when connected to PC

What is the use?
If he formats it he will lose the files he is trying to access.
I have the same problem but I don't have any viruses. Just ask the photos from the last two months don't show when viewed from a Windows PC across a USB connection.
Hi All,
I'm newbie to this area and I just flashing my P1000 into CM10.1 with JB 4.2.2. Everything is work fine for me and I love the PDroid Manager function very much too!
The only problem that I encountered now is the USB mass storage function. When i plug in the USB cable into desktop computer, it only shows external SD card drive but internal SD card drive shows nothing whereby lots of data were stored into internal SD card.
Does anyone help to enlightening me on how to get back to live for my internal SD card drive?
Thanks in advance!

Try to disable and re-enable the mass storage.
The error should only occur after the boot.

Hi Paolo,
Thanks for your advice. However, I tried to disable & re-enable the mass storage under storage - USB computer connection still can't solve my problem as computer keep asking to "insert a disk" when I click the internal SD card drive.
Any idea?
Thanks.
hi all,
after reset all setting to default factory setting, the internal SD card mass storage issue had been settled. Thanks for your concern and advice.

Connect to your PC?
You are not being clear.
You connect it using the USB cable.
If you meant to say the PC can't detect it, you still have to tell in what way, as storage, in Odin, etc, etc?

Have you set Fast Charger?
If set can not use mass storage.

Hi All,
Same problem comes back again after I've done factory reset to my GT-P1000. Besides this, I discover that the radio keeps telling me no service but I still can access my mail using mobile data network (not WiFi).
Other than these, my GT-P1000 will reboot itself automatically. Please be informed that I did flashing this from original GB to this ROM directly.
Is there any advice can be taken? I don't wish keep factory resetting my GT-P1000 in order to access the internal SD again.
Another issue need to find out is how to switch the picture storage location from internal SD to external SD after camera snapped?
Please help, thanks!

Hi,
First of all: I thought I could use USB mass storage in CM 10.1 before I installed it yesterday. Now I know that it is not possible right now and I have to use the MTP option. The problem here is that it does not work correctly and I don't know what to do. When I connect the P880 to the computer using USB I can access the P880 as "portable device(s)" as usual with MTP. Then I click it and it is always empty. I copy files on it which works just fine, but the next time I connect it to the PC the folder is empty again, although the files are copied into the /sdcard folder and they are still there (I see them on my phones Explorer). One thing to mention is, that I cannot copy folders onto the device which are already there (tried to copy "Music" folder and got an error). The error message then is: "Cannot copy Music\n The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected".
Does anyone have the same problem?
Did you check whether ADB debugging has been turned off before using MTP?

It was on, but now it is off and I still have the same problem. I did not know, that such a thing happens when USB debug is turned on. Why should it?
For me it works fine with the 24.04.2013 build from CM website. :-s Just flashed it and works perfect, try flashing the latest CM.
that was the problem of first nightlies. swapping two memory storage and in the case u didnt have sd memory card, ur internal memory would be empty. updating to latest nighly will solve it.
I am never able to connect my phone via USB after upgrading to CM. So I use wifi file browser and transfer files.
Hi,
I have just upgraded to 4.3 and when plugging USB to PC, a new status icon appears MTP mode enabled. I was very happy with that because I have accidentally deleted some of my photos, and as far as I know under MTP mode there is no way to recover deleted files if You are not rooted. I have tried all my best to find out how to use this new feature to disable MTP but without any success. Do You have any idea how can I do it? Or any way to recover deleted files under MTP
Many thanks in advance:

That's because you're missing the correct HTC One USB drivers. Otherwise, instead of being limited to the camera memory, you would see the HTC One displayed as type "Portable Device" and if you go in there, you'll see "Internal Storage" which will give you access to everything on your SD card, including pictures. Then, you can use a data recovery software, like GetDataBack to try and recover your deleted pictures.

Hi,
Thank You for Your quick reply. I have already tried that, I can access the internal memory (see attached picture), but it has no drive letter as You can see. If a run get data back, the HTC ONE internal storage is not on the list I can select from( see picture getdata). What I am doing wrong?

Actually, forget about GetDataBack or other data recovery software. Have a look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705
