I don't know why, I'm in mass storage mode and I expected to just be able to copy and paste files like in Samsung Wave (or any other phones) but I cannot do it in Galaxy S.
Never liked mass storage mode. Enable USB debugging mode instead. Go to menu ->settings ->Applications -> Development -> USB debugging. Once connected to the PC, pull down the notification menu and select connect.
Thank you. Tried it but it doesn't work too. The micro sd partitions do not appear even if usb mode (debugging) is connected already.
Am I the only one experiencing this?
did you pull the notification bar and choose to connect to ur comp? if ur on froyo, once you click " mass storage " you should then see a green android on the screen with the option to connect to the computer. if you dont see the notification, unplug the usb and try again.
SOLVED after updating my firmware to JPU. Thank you for the help guys! It was as I suspected. For some reason, my phone owned the external microsd's filesystem after formatting (I was using JP2 firmware). I formatted it again after flashing to JPU and voila, all problems fixed.
Everything was normal till yesterday ,i mean when i connected my phone to pc by usb cable it used to ask if i want to charge or connect in mass storage mode
But today when i connected my phone it didn't gave any notification and just kept charging
i have tried changing the usb ports
tried re-installing the drivers
checking and unchecking usb debugging mode but still it doesn't work
any help will be appreciated :good:
First thing to do would be so to Settings > SD card and phone storage settings and try having mass storage only selected.
If you have rooted ur phone u can try mounting USB storage from the advanced menu of CWM in order to see whether it is a hardware based issue or an issue isolated to the ROM.
If you have the android sdk installed, check whether ur PC acknowledges that the phone is connected to the USB port by typing "adb devices" in cmd. This will tell you whether the PC actually knows that there is something plugged in.
Final thing to do would be backup in CWM and reflash stock ROM then revert to backup.
Some time ago I dropped and broke my Samsung Galaxy S, I've since gotten a replacement but there are still some files on the internal SD that I want to recover. I should be able to do this with ADB - but USB debugging doesn't seem to be enabled on device.
I thought entering recovery enables this - but I'm basing this on my cyanogenmod 10 install on my working device, whilst I should have stock 2.3.6 installed on the broken one (this rom specifically).
I believe I have the stock SGS recovery, but I can't say for sure.
Anyone have any clue on what I could do to get usb debugging working either in the OS or in recovery?
depending on what CWM you have installed you can go in mount and storage and there mount USB storage....then it connects the internal SDcard to your pc.
On my windows pc, sometimes the internal sd card mounts to pc only with connecting the phone to it. I am not sure anymore under what circumstances i got this working. Perhaps it was in download mode or in recovery mode....also could be that this was when i only short press the power button when phone is down but USB connected.....and if i remember right it depended also on which driver were installed and that sure kies is not running....but perhaps you give it a try?
my audio jack came loose and i attempted to fix it. in the process i ripped my digitizer cable. my LCD screen works fine and my phone is running, but the entire touch interface is gone. it doesn't respond to anything. I have fastboot mode enabled and cwm recovery 6.0 installed. it gives me the option to mount my phone's memory but after i do that it doesn't show up in My Computer and in linux it shows up as LG cosmos device, and is unopenable. is there any way for me to get my files of the internal storage?
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
