Are you sure it freezes? Mine just takes *ages* to finish that stage.
But yes, delete that folder and you'll be able to rebuild your library from scratch.

Delete the folder (that he said above) via file explorer. You can usually find the folder in the root of your storage card. Works everytime. G/L.

unable to find the hidden folder WMDRM, used the search program on my phone asnd still no luck . do i have to sync my tilt and delete it thru the cpu.

If you are using the standard file explorer, make sure that you have the "show all files" option switched on.

i wish it was that simple
yeah it is. win i pulled up winrar to un rar a file i saw it as a folder but i can't get to it. still haven't sync phone, @ wrk

If it 1 thing its another

after this it updating says it found 2087 files but only adds the file save to the phone not the memory card. doeas this sound familiar to any one

yeah use Total Commander or another "good" file explorer. & remove the "WMDRM" folder... it should be in the root folder of your SD card...
even then, if you have a TON of mp3's you may have to wait 5 minutes while it updates... I've had to reboot when it freezes & its hard to tell when its just taking forever & when its frozen :S
If that STILL doesn't work, try putting your files back on your desktop computer, then put your SD card in your computer, and re-transferring them that way.
Hope that helps

Copy files to micro-SD via GUI - QtADB

Since I can't see this app mentioned already anywhere in this subforum I thought this might help someone out. I found an app which is a GUI front-end for ADB and allows you to copy files anywhere including /mnt/sdcard2 (the micro-SD card).
It works on Windows, Linux and MacOS and has a bunch of other features in addition to this. You need ADB working first to be able to use it.
http://qtadb.wordpress.com/features/

If it works as good as it looks it should be pretty handy. Been wanting to copy things to SD2 without pulling the card..

I just use Estrong exploer and use the LAN option. Search for your pc on the wifi lan, then drop any files you want to transfer into your shared folder (windows) and you can copy and then paste them on to SD2card from estrong explorer.

I feel kinda dumb.. I use the same Estrong file explorer over the lan and have just never even thought about SDcard2. Funny, I move stuff all the time between the tablet and PC. Sheesh! Maybe I am getting old!

QtADB has WLAN option too
since today new version is available
more details You can find on our website

Using 0.7.6 and it connects fine, but it wont list any files on the tablet. Am i missing something obvious? Debugging mode is on, 'adb devices' detects it.

It works with tablets so if file list is empty i think You dont have busybox. Read faq and about on our website

I have busybox and I followed the FAQ but still no files list. I'm sure i am just missing something simple.. I have emailed you a debug.log.
Edit: Sorted it out with help from 7ymekk. Awesome app

Cappy being crappy help!!!

Hey guys i have a problem with my cappy. When i plug the phone to the computer and i try to open the folder, the message pop out and it says "unable to open the script file".
I am running ICS 4.0.3
thanks.

bump! plz help...if you need any additional information about the problem i will try to explain the best i can.

right click the drive letter assigned to the phone.
chose expand or open, do not choose autorun
if it opens ok, you have an autorun problem with your drives. possibly a bug in your computer or you accidentally placed an autorun file on your phone card or both

Hey man i did what you said to do and it opens fine, but i cant get to open any folder i just get the message unable to open the script file when i double click on any folder on my phone, but i can open zip files . Is there any way i can find and delete this "autorun file".
Thanks

does the same procedure work on each folder in your phone? right click and choose expand or open?
If so, and there is no autorun file in the folders, then you have a bug in your computer. Start researching on how to scan and clean your computer. It is beyond the scope of this forum to get into that.
If there is an autorun in each folder on your phone, something put them there and they don't belong. Delete them using any file explorer app (root access file explorer might be necessary depending on where the file is located), see if they come back. If they come back when not connected to your computer, you have a bugged phone or a malfunctioning app. short answer in this case is to backup and wipe your phone. Backups may not be trustworthy either unless you find the culprit.
No way I can be more specific without having the phone in my hand, sorry.

Yes for the each folder is the same thing. I try to open it on different laptop and it does the same thing so it must be in the phone.
I will try to do that and see what happens. Thanks you man a lot.

[Q] Unable to transfer files to/from usb stick

Hi,
I've upgraded my galaxy note to ICS. After upgrade I'm unable to transfer files from/to usb-stick(using usb-connector). I used to(before ICS) transfer files from/to usbstick, but after upgrade it is not working. Any solution?
When I connnect USB stick to galaxy note, I can see the contents of the stick. I can even select files to get copied, but when I go to destination directory, "Paste here" button is disabled.
FYI, "USB debugging" option is disabled.

Do you have write permission on the destination directory and is it mounted as read/write?

Thanks for the quick reply. How do I check whether the usb-storage device is mounted in read or write mode?

Seem it is mounted read/write as I could create directories on the usb device. but copy of files is not working.

try it using es file explorer

I mean the destination directory needs to be mounted as read/write. What tool are you using to view your files? Although I don't have it myself (I use the Linux prompt) I understand that Root Explorer has a remount function.

by the look of the above post hes trying to copy files from phone to USB external

Oh I see, sorry. Could it be an issue with not being root on the Note and therefore no write permission on the USB stick?

r u sure that to copy files from phone to usb drive requires root ? i dont know for what it would need root

Yes, I'm trying to copy files from phone to usb drive. It used to work before ICS upgrade with out root.

Thanks for your replies. "ES File Explorer" solved my problem. Now I can transfer files from phone to usb-device using usb-connector. Thanks a lot.

Non existant file transfers only to "Download" folder. other folders are fine.

Non existant file transfers only to "Download" folder. other folders are fine.
Background: I used TWRP to completely wipe my Nexus 6. Through Windows I made a folder called "Download" and put my ROM and SuperSU in there which transferred fine. Installed ElementalX 3.0.
Now when I transfer files from my PC to the Download directory, I just get a moving bar and the files never actually transfer. I have only waited about 5 minutes then gave up. Once I cancel the transfer, Windows loses connection with the phone and I have to re-plug the USB cable in. The problem only occurs when I try to transfer to the Download directory. I can transfer files from my computer to any other folder of the phone with no problems. I also cannot delete the Download directory using Windows Explorer, and two file manager programs on the phone called File Manager, and ES Explorer. The Download directory also has two files, SuperSU and ElementalX, which cannot be deleted. It's not a major issue, but it's bugging me.
Oh, my Android skill level is novice wannabe so be gentle with the big fancy words. However, after a few short hours of owning the phone I did figure out how to ROOT and install a custom ROM, so I ain't totally stupid - just mostly.

check the file permissions on those files and the folder, ES Explorer can likely do that I don't use ES but I know its well featured. Its the only thing I could think of off the top of my head.

Reboot into recovery. Go to advanced, file manager. Browse to that Downloads folder, hit select, then choose delete.
Should get rid of it for you.
I'm assuming that you made the Downloads folder originally through TWRP while it was connected as an MTP device? If so, sometimes it can do weird things while in recovery. While the MTP driver works in TWRP, it's not extremely mature and is really just there as a convenience for folks that aren't comfortable with the standard command line stuff.

Thanks man. That sorta worked. There was a section in ES where I could change all permissions to RW. I don't know if that effected things but after I did that I renamed the Download folder to Downloads with an 's'. I was able to recreate another Download directory and now I can download stuff from the net as I wasn't able to with the old Download directory. This seemed like a patch but at least things were better. However, I then read Yoinx's post and it worked and complete got rid of the bad folder.

You sir are a bloody genius. Worked like a charm.
I am going to explain this as well as I can. When I wiped everything with TWRP (I didn't mean to. It was just a noob mistake) I was no longer able to see my phone's files on my computer. If I am not mistaken, it did show the phone hooked up, but no files, or even "internal storage" were showing - I could be wrong. I needed to copy SuperSU and the ElementalX ROM from my computer to my phone but I was screwed. I fiddled about in TWRP, and I believe it was under "Mount" where I was able to check/tick all the folders that were unchecked. I am assuming since they were unchecked, Windows could not see the files on my phone. After checking/ticking the folders, I hooked the phone up to the PC and the N6 showed up. I made the Download directory in Windows and copied the ROM and SuperSU that way.
Also, I don't even know what an MTP device is. Maybe I did what you said as I was sort of clicking here and there to see if this or that would work. I was in semi panic mode so I don't remember every single thing I did. Anyways brother thank you so much for your help. Here's some nice delicious Hawaiian pineapple for ya.
