[Q] Computer only recongnises phone under MTP mode - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am currently using CyanogenMod 11.0 20140420 by Maclaw, but this has been going on since I started using the custom ROMs. Any time I try to use my phone in Mass Storage mode, my computer will not read the device, but in MTP mode, it reads the storage, but everything doesn't show up properly. Some files on the external SD card won't show up at all unless I use my microsd card reader and put it in there. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

No one? It's kind of annoying that Mass Storage mode doesn't work

Thank you, but I've tried that as well, couldn't even change the mode. I've also tried "USB mode switch for SGS1 on CM" (can't post links because I'm under 10 post) but when I switched to mass storage, my computer wouldn't recognize the phone.

[Q] CM9/Ics USB storage help

I just updated to alpha 6, and im having a problem with my internal storage. When I plug my phone up to my computer only the external sd card shows up, but when not hooked up, all my apps have no problem accessing my internal sd card.
I've already tried the wipe/factory reset as said in the development form but that didn't fix anything
Thanks!

Hashcode,
I remember reading about this when ICS AOSP was first being compiled, and that this was a design change in order to increase security of the devices. I saw a Galaxy Nexus for the first time yesterday and when I plugged it into my machine I thought it was using MTP to transfer files. Has anybody else out there in the porting community been able to allow USB mass storage yet for the internal memory or maybe that's just a feature that's been permanently disabled by Google?

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!

Do you have fast charge unable?
Also, when you see the usb storage screen, do you mount it?
Did you try to mount storage through recovery?

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!

[Q] MTP mode ENABLE/DISABLE

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
