[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deboopi2:
As I have read through this forum it seems there's absolutely no way the sdcard folder can be mounted as mass storage.

As I also have a Volkswagen the problem remains because the VW cannot see MTP.

Is there any other way of connecting it to the car, probably with a car dock but I want to do it without a dock.

I just want to be able to play my music stored on the phone via the car stereo

(I know the alternatives: bluetooth and audio jack but I was hoping for USB access)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PillowMetal:
I have all three methods in my car (bluetooth, audio jack, and usb), and I have never gotten USB to work, even when USB Mass Storage was available on my HTC EVO 4G LTE. I don't know if there is something different about the interface between the car and standard USB, but it would never see my phone as a big USB drive. Which is what I wanted because then I could use the car controls to scroll through the music on my phone, like I can do with a regular flash drive. So I now resort to bluetooth instead.

I don't know that using a car dock would be any different than what you can do now, because I think they just connect to your audio jack. Hopefully someone can chime in who has better luck and getting USB connections to work.

phones mounting before MTP

It is simply not true that the internal memory of a phone cannot mounted as mass storage. I have had an HTC Rezound since before my HTC One and it mounts the internal storage as a mass storage device with a drive letter and everything. Works exactly like the micro SD card and both are there side by side in "My Computer". You cant even tell them apart. This was the case on Froyo and now on ICS on that phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PillowMetal:
Read the posts above to see why that was, but is no longer the case. USB can only be mounted on a FAT partition, not our exclusively ext4 phone.

Find software that can work from the phone. I highly doubt your data is recoverable.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frenzyboi:
How about mounting it as an external SD card and using Eraser software to erase data? I guess it's not possible too?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arhidi:
If you know what the /data partition block is, then you could use the instructions here: http://www.df.lth.se/~jokke/androidfilerecovery/

There is another tool called PhotoRec that will help you recover lost photo's.

You will of course need to use linux on your PC to do any of this.

So frustrated!!!

So i just ditched my new WP8 phone because no mass storage. Only to find my newer android HTC has turned its back on mass storage also!!! Aggghhh...

Brilliant thread BTW. Very educational & informative.

Can someone just confirm with a Htc 1X (no sd slot) there is absoloutly no way of gaining mass storage. Even if i installed a custom ICS rom i am guessing my internal card will still be ext4 and hence not mountable via mass storage???

Thanks in advance.

One of the big problems i find with MTP is files are read only, i dont have admin access at work so cant install anything special and hence my files are in accessable...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
It's impossible to enable mass storage on a device with only internal storage. Mass storage means that only one device can read from storage; the phone or the computer it's connected to. If you plugged an older phone with mass storage into your computer, the phone would not be able to read the memory card. That wasn't an issue because Android was on internal storage.

Android and your internal storage are on separate data partitions on the HTC One. However, you can't unmount just a partition. You have to unmount the whole data storage. That isn't possible on a device when Android itself is running from the only storage on the device. That's why you can't have mass storage on the One.

On the Galaxy S4, you can do it with an app because the S4 has external storage (memory card slot). The mod only works on external storage because Android is running on the internal storage.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pclemmit:
Thanks PF, I hear what you say. I guess I am just reluctant to accept it. I guess the hardware build/set up as you describe will never allow for mass storage??. How disappointing. I just find MTP absoloute pants, infact I may even have to downgrade to my old Huawei G300 as a result.

I just cant believe Android are heading in this direction?

One small query is thou, if it is not possible for the reasons you describe. How is it when I plug my phone in apart from the device being recognised as a Portable device (via MTP??). There is also removable drive which holds the HTC sync software does this not suggest it is in deed possible?

Screenshot attached...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
Well the reasons MTP was switched to:

1) It allows both the phone and computer to access the same memory. Even for phones that have a memory card, like the Galaxy S4, that's a big deal. On Android 2.3 Gingerbread and prior, the memory card would basically disappear from the phone until you turned off USB Mass Storage.

2) On phones with only internal storage, it's the only way of being able to plug the phone into the computer to read/write data.

And to answer your question, no not really. That's just another partition on the device; you can partition a flash drive or a hard drive to have 2, 3, 4, 5, etc partitions. The computer will see them as different hard drives (C:\, D:\, E:\, F:\, etc) even though they're on the same drive. Same concept.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pclemmit:
Thanks I HEAR what you say. I loved mass storage it give me the ability to carry and work on my files whilst always carrying them around in my pocket. Here is what I dislike about MTP:

Disadvantages:

You do not have write access direct to the device.

When a file is opened it is first copied to a temporary directory:

C:\Users\<Logged on user>\AppData\Local\Temp\WPDNSE

It is then opened <Read only>. This causes two problems:

1)	The file is not removed from temporary directory upon device removal. This could mean others could gain access to files.

2)	Modifying / working on documents is a pain because you have to save them to a separate location then copy them (drag & drop) back to original location.

Oh well enough said, I have voiced my hatred. Thank you to all for your responses. I guess I will either get my old android out of the loft or find that old USB pen I was always forgetting to take to work with me.

I have tried skydrive and dropbox, but the problem is I don't always have a very goo data connection. I guess I am correct in thinking all these are cloud storage / access methods ?

I am still as we speak refuse to accept I cant have write access to my HTC one X files via usb, I am still scouring the internet for a work a round... Any other suggestions? I am sure I am not the only one whom use to mount their phone as mass storage as a secure convenient method for carrying files and working on them to and thro from the office. How do you do it now?

From what I am reading Google are pushing all phone developers to head in the direction of MTP. I guess mass storage will become obsolete?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
I agree with you completely. Your first point means slower file copying (which is visible if you've ever used a device with mass storage and then one with MTP). However, it results in reduced file corruption since there's a buffer zone (indirect copying). The second point is unavoidable and true.

Some images for mass storage

Snapshots of the build and version. I am surprised that many people are against it, My recommendation is to install the ROM two times. This is what I did, the first time, Bluetooth was not working. Second (on top install) was great. Very light and does not crash

i don't know how you can get MTP to mount as USB mass storage :p , but I do have to say, writing the kernel to p21 (package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p21") is going to do wonders for an M7 (whether GSM or CDMA... doesnt even matter), very interesting advice. :rolleyes:

okay, I have to say this thread is really good and thank everyone who participated! :good:

from what i understand (yes, newbie here) internal storage on the Evita can't be used as UMS. but how about partitioning it? i was browsing in CWM when i saw it has an option to partition internal storage. but only to ext and i believe UMS needs a Fat32.

i don't know why but i still can't believe my Evita is impossible to be used as a mass storage.

it would be awesome if someone looked into that or give me a definite answer.

btw i just want to use UMS as a bootable rescue disk and not to store all my data.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Fat32 is a proprietary system to Microsoft that is why it was removed. To answer your question no.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamCoco:
Just a quick question that I hope someone may be able to answer... Is the UMS/MTP change the reason why I can't play a .m3u playlist on my computer while it is stored on my HTC One, whereas doing the same tasks on a USB drive allows me to play the playlist?

Will an SD card allow me to do that? Main reason for asking is I suspect this is why my car stereo won't read any songs in the playlist I have made, and I would like my phone to be my music device instead of carrying an (aging) ipod and phone around with me.

Cheers
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PillowMetal:
Could be, when you are in MTP mode, and you have the internal card or external card open in file explorer, you are not actually looking at the files themselves, but a database listing of the files on those cards. This database file gets updated each time you add or delete a file in file explorer, or reboot your phone which initiates a "media scan". You can also force this scan with an app that makes the function call directly like ReScan from the market.

But there is also something else going on that prevents music playing on car stereos and such. Because even when I switch the USB connection mode (from the notification icon) from HTC Sync Manager (MTP) to Disk Drive (USB) so that it can see my external SD Card, my car still does not see the files like it would if it were a USB stick. But on a computer, the SD Card in this mode appears as regular removable drive, so I think your m3u files would work that way.

Luckily my car has bluetooth so I just stream over ADSP and the quality is better than a direct auxiliary 3.5mm connection. If anyone ever gets a USB car connection working, I would love to hear how it was done.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamCoco:
Thanks for the reply, and sorry for how long I've taken to get round to it :P I'll be buying an SD card soon so I'll update on how that goes, if not I'll look into rooting the phone to see if I can make any tweaks.

If your xda is indeed capable of operating on 1800 you will be able to switch using bootloader method, hold power button while inserting stylus in hole on base, (bottomleft with screen facing you), when screen appears, press the button beneath the antenna. Having said that I was under the impression that the xda is not a true tri-band therefore if your phone hardware doesnt support 1800 it just wont work even if the option exists in rom.

Hi

Have One x on H3G_001 and updated to jb (Hboot 1.39).

Forgot to nandroid backup (rushing doesn't pay!) and when I attempted to go to cwm recovery I was presented with blank screen.

Have tried TWRP (JB Version) and that works but as no usb mounting available cannot place nandroid onto phone storage.

All this has occurred since phone has had screen replaced.

Is this a case of coincidence or have the kernels changed on recoveries (ICS to JB), I'm totally baffled!

PS: Thanks to Mr. Hofs for assistance he has given so far regarding this, and if anyone has seen JB RUU for Three UK direction would be appreciated :fingers-crossed:.

My suggestion would be to flash any rom in order to use ums and after that transfer and restore a backup. Does adb work on twrp? You could push the file like this: adb push C:\derp.zip /sdcard/
