Does anyone know how to mount a usb storage device in lollipop and where the directory would be?
When I connect my usb otg device, the light flashes on the device so I know it acknowledges it but then it doesn't seem to mount. When I go to settings/storage the option to mount is at the bottom but when I tap it, it does nothing. Please help, this is really pissing me off.
Look into an application called StickMount, I'm guessing that's what you're missing.

needs root. why would an extra app be necessary anyway?
Believe it or not, Im pretty sure Android M will be the first release with native support for external storage (playing off memory here, so pinch of salt and all that). Until then, workarounds are unfortunately required. I agree with you though, you'd think it'd be plug-and-play.

my motog was plug and play. thought I tried the motox it worked, but maybe not.

I don't know if your rom supports USB otg, just try with another USB flash drive...it worked for me. You can find the USB directory in /mnt/usbdisk or /storage/usbdisk or /usbdisk

Go to apps, push menu button, choose either camera or massstorage mode. And enable usb debugging and enable root access for apps and adb. This should solve it. If not, reinstall your cm10 with all wipes.

don't understand why you wrote "go to apps" - in my CM10 on my p970 the USB options are in storage menu :
settings->storage->[press menu]->USB computer connection
then after choosing Mass storage i can finally debug using ADB

Turn off your phone and battery get out...wait for while. Put battery in, turn on your phone and try to connect via USB
Hi all,
Anyone works with Razr I on Mac OS ?? I don't know how to connect it on massive storage, and I'd like to copy music and images. I have readed some post in Morotola Forum, but they are using "Motocast USB".
I have installed the Motorola Device Manager, and Motocast, but I only can config the wireless mode. In my Mac, Is not appearing the option named "motocast USB".
I have tried other smartphones and, connecting it with USB cable, I can copy and move files without any problem.
I have to do something special? How I can configure Motocast USB ??
My version of Mac OS X is mountain lion. Certanly, ... I had Motorola Razr MAXX and I had no problem with this...
Thanks.
Regards
Hi all,
Android File Transfer resolves the problem to access to files, bot not the syncronizing. Do you know any soft to do this ?? From Motorola ??
Thanks.
Wifi file explorer should bypass the USB connectivity.

Hi friends,
I have usb otg cable which can connect my phone to usb pen drive but I am unable to find any info in file managers i downloaded from playstore since there is no default file manager, there is no mounting happen for my usb storage device.
Since its ICS which should support pendrives via usb connection by default so i am asking you all if u can verify the same.

If i switch to PTP, it shows up but i cant add or edit the folder and it only
shows 'Pictures' and DCIM folders
Im trying to add zip files.

Boot into TWRP and connect to PC. See if you can mount MTP that way. Not a fix but could get your files transferred. Also may prove if more than a ROM issue.
I have the same issue? An it still is not coming up with TWRP? I tried the DEV M preview, it's good. But will not connect to PC as MTP?
Usb debugging off, selected mtp in dev options, reboot phone. works now?
I'm actually on stock rooted and unlocked, so idk what's up

Have you tried a different cable? Different USB port?
I tried different ports but the phone will connect adb and ptp so I assumed it was the phone. When I connect using mtp, it makes the connection sound but nothing happens.

Hi, when I connect my phone to my PC using MTP mode it shows me only some of the files, most of the other files are missing.
This is becoming very annoying as I cannot see most of my files but can see them using the File Manager I am using on my phone.
Please help, is there a solution to this?
Is there a way I can mount the phone as a USB Mass Storage device?
Or maybe install a recovery without losing any of my data and then mount as USB mass storage using that recovery?
EDIT: I am running stock 5.1.1
I cannot upgrade to 6.0 until I get a backup of all my files.

Thank you.
But I would also like to know if it's possible to mount as USB Mass Storage.
Or is it completely impossible without losing my data?

Impossible, usb mass storage was removed from android. There is only mtp and ptp.

TWRP only has MTP. No idea on CWM or Philz since I don't use them. But I would assume they use MTP as well.
USB mass storage was removed from android over 3 years ago in Jelly Bean. So the odds of it being in this 2014 device and it's recoveries would be slim to none. MTP is better for the android OS, less chance of corrupt files and crashes.

Okay, thanks.
But CyanogenMod did support UMS mode in 5.1.1, but doesn't seem to be there in 6.0.
One final question.
Using MTP mode to transfer photos changes their last modified date, messing up the dates on all my photos.
Any way to fix that?

You can try to use the MTP mode of TWRP. I've always had luck using it when not all files where shown in the booted up system.
I don't know any way to fix this, but copying files, as the name implies, will always create a new file at the target location, which will then have the creation date from when it was copied, as it is a new file.
You can actually sort these files after their original creation date in Windows but you'd need an android gallery app, that is able to do the same.
