Hi everyone, I need some help to transfer files from my computer to my phone internal storage by using TWRP 2.8.5.0. Actually my computer recognise my phone as MTP but i can't transfer any files, it fails every time.
I would like to transfer a rom because I did a format system so I lost all the .zip file to be flashed, and I can't access to android anymore..
Is there other solutions to flash a rom, maybe by fastboot or something else? I really need help to fix this asap..
Thanks in advance
use an otg cable, copy the rom to the usb and then mount it

Is there any way I can get a new ROM on my device if it can't boot? The USB port hasn't worked (for data) for months - I posted about it here, no-one replied. The DIAMIMG.nbh file on Internal Storage is the ROM that won't boot, it just sits at the boot logo doing nothing.
I have other ROM files on my Internal Storage, just no idea if I can get access to them and flash it.
I take it no-one has any idea then?
I hope you guys here from XDA can help me solving a question I have about some errors I get when trying to backup the gameloft game's data on my PC and either nandroid backups created on the internal SD of my Galaxy Tab (something that usually happened with my old Galaxy S too).
I try both ways, with the Tab connected to Windows 7 in Mass Storage or Kies mode, but sometimes I get some weird errors (the file transfer stops and the USB connection hangs out, and sometimes, when I insist in trying to copy the file that gave me the error, the file ends up corrupting itself in the internal memory), but after turning the tab off and then on again, I can get the files normally and get no errors.
Does the internal SD memory of Galaxy series get corrupted that easily, the USB connection is poor or what?
The weird part is that this only happens copying files from the internal SD to PC. In the reverse way, I get no errors, so I don't believe it's a dock conector/USB cable problem, since it's a original and new USB cable that don't show any kind of problem when flashing roms, for example. I belive that if it was some kind of dock/usb cable problem I wouldn't be able to flash roms or transfer large files from PC to Tab without the same kind of errors showing up, right?
Did someone here experience the same errors I mentioned?
Thanks!
Nobody?
Have u updated ur Kies software becoz it installs latest USB drivers for ur Tab.
Yes, Kies is updated, but I dont think it matters when using usb mass storage mode...
Rooted tab? Read-write mode enabled?
Yes, rooted, and no read-write enabled for /system.
Bonehead that I am, I did the preparatory data/factory reset in CWM without transferring the new rom to the SD card first. I didn't realise USB mass storage CWM didn't work on the note (or at least, it doesn't on mine)
So normally I'd just reboot, and transfer the file within ICS, but since I've wiped, seems like that's not the way forward. So I guess my question's a twofer.
1) Is there a way to transfer the file to the sd card without exiting CWM?
2) Is USB Mass Storage in CWM a known issue, or is it unique to me? (I understand it's a known issue on the Nexus).
Thanks in advance.
its a known issue
Why cant you just boot the phone up and place it on ?
You use adb much ? If so, Get the rom, Put it in the folder with all your adb files,
Boot into recovery (usb debugging enabled by default in recovery) and type in a command window:
adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/
or
adb push nameofrom.zip/sdcard/nameofrom.zip
then find it, select it and flash it
As previously established, I'm such a noob. I've always installed a fresh rom after doing a reset in CWM. Somehow got it into my head that that amounted to wiping the OS completely. Man, I suck at rooting recently. I was an old hand when I had a DHD. Now I've got an SGN I'm an amateur again!
Rebooted and transferred the file without issue.
Thanks for the help.
After having some problems with my Xperia T (random reboots, reboot loops, crashes) on stock Android 4.3 I decided to give it a go and try to install Omnirom 4.4
I tried to follow this procedure to install Omnirom
1. I unlocked the bootloader using Sony's guide
2. Got root through towelroot
3. I installed TWRP, which seems to be recommend for the Xperia T, TWRP installed BusyBox Free (no idea what this does, but TWRP recommended installing this.
This is as far as I got. The problem I have is that I don't have access to the internal SDcard (my phone does not have a removable sdcard) when connected via USB to my computer.
The internal SD Card does not appear as 'mass storage' in my windows explorer, nor does the phone give me the option to access the internal sdcard as a storage device.
Therefore I cannot copy the Omnirom zip and the GAPPS to the internal sdcard.
I'm stuck here. I tried searching the web, but got no solution.
Anybody who give me a little help here?
I think you can mount the SD-card from TWRP, then you can access it from your computer. Not a TWRP user myself, but that's how it works from CWM
Sent from my LT30p using XDA Free mobile app
Going into -> TWRP -> Settings -> Storage Info
I have 2 options:
- External storage location
- USB-OTG location
What is what? And where should they point to?
Currently they are set to:
- External storage location: /storaga/sdcard0/media
- USB-OTG location: /storage/sdcard0
I can see the contents of the 'sdcard' but have no idea what to mount where.....
Seems right.
USB OTG is when you plug in a usb stick to your phone. So pretty unimportant.
Why cant you download the Omni zip with your phone?

Pluging the usb cable in the phone and pc doesn't seem to do anything. Windows Explorer doesn't show the internal memory card as a storage device, so I cannot transfer the Omni.zip
Pluging the usb cable in the phone also doesn't charge my phone ...
Even PC Companion doesn't find my phone. It keep searching and searching but doesn't find it.

If you have ADB drivers installed (from the Flashtools folder, for instance), you can access your entire phone through ADB while in recovery. Mounting USB storage to transfer files between TWRP and my PC has never worked for me; it has worked on CWM though, although I haven't used that method in ages since I prefer ADB.

Ok, I didn't manage to get ADB working on Win8, but got it running on Elementary OS
Let's investigate how to transfer files via ADB....

Ok, I managed to get the omni rom .zip and gapps.zip to the sdcard using the adb push command.
I tried to install this via TWRP and select the zip file. Unfortunately when selecting 'reboot to recovery' in TWRP nothing seems to happen. The phone reboots, Sony and Xperia logo appear and the phone just starts as normal....
I can't get the phone into recovery. I tried to push the volume up, volume down, holding the volume up/down, push repeatingly .... etc nothing seems to work...
Some more info
- I verified that I'm root
- I reinstalled TWRP
- I downloaded and installed the recovery image in TWRP (for the xperia t this is 'mint')
- I tried other recovery tools such as Clockworkmod, but my device is no supported
- I tried 'Quickboot tool' to get into recovery, doesn't make any difference....
What am I missing?
I forgot to thank everybody who helped me out on this.
I managed to get access to the sd card, push customs roms (CM10 an CM11) and flash my phone. Unfortunately nothing helped fixing my Xperia T reboot problem. I flashed it back to the original Sony rom and returned it to the shop, up to 3 weeks without phone....
Hello!
a few days ago i dropped my phone and now only the lower right part of the touch screen works :| (it only has touch functions on the lower right)
my phones out of warranty and i'm probably not going to fix it, the only important thing for me is my data on the internal storage.
when i connect the phone to a computer it asks for the type of connection i want to the PC (charging only,MTP,MSC,MIDI) and because the touch screen doesn't work i can't choose MTP :|
is there anyway to access phones internal storage without choosing MTP mode on the phone?
thanks in advance

If you can work out a way to install recovery. Recovery can be managed by volume up/down and the power button as enter. There is a file manager in TWRP, you could copy the files onto ext sd card.

Look,since you 're on 6.0.1 you can't fix it...I'll give you the steps to fix it by downgrading.BEFORE PROCEEDING I MUST TELL YOU THAT YOU WILL MAYBE NEED A MOUSE AND A USB OTG CABLE TO SETUP THE PHONE AFTER DOWNGRADING!
Step 1) download Flashtool and then use Xperifirm(it's built-in) to download a Lollipop firmware,no matter which one,since you won't fix the phone again.
Step 2) Install the drivers for Z3 compact from the Flashtool/drivers and then Install the firmware to your phone using Flashtool,it will guide you.
Step 3) Boot the phone once the firmware installation is done.
Step 4) Connect the usb otg cable on your phone's micro-usb port and then connect the mouse on the otg cable to set-up the Phone.After that connect the Phone to your PC via the usb cable.
Step 5) If the files you want to copy and backup, are on your phone's storage then connect your phone to PC and copy the files you need from your Phone 's Storage,otherwise grab the files from your SD Card.
I hope this helps you!
PS.don't throw your phone to the garbage since it can still be used with a mouse.

But if you flash with Flashtool I believe it does wipe the internal storage

Oh yes you 're right i forgot that...then the process changes...
You must use otg cable and,using a file manager, move your files from internal storage to your SD card...then you can move your files from your SD card to your PC using a card reader or something...
I'm not sure if flashing without wiping data will cause bootloop or not, so the above method is the safest

Use a OTG cable , then connect a common mouse ( wired ) and then connect to phone aswell , so you can use the mouse inside ur phone without using touchscreen. hope it helps
