Can i just always leave usb mass storage on because i never need to use my internal SD for transferring to my computer? I remember d4fseeker said that filesytem takes too much damage when mounted in two different places, but im not sure he is referring to what I am talking about.

If all is good, having the option for usb mass storage to start at boot would be very nice since it does not stay after a reboot.

Thanks!

Hi guys ,

I need help with the app , or mass storage , I used to own a GNote 1 and I plug it in my PS3 to transfer Movies and pictures and music , but now I can't with the s4 (octa) it just doesn't have the mass storage option in settings . so I searched and found this app , really useful , but still it doesn't want to recognize my S4 , it works great when plugged in to my laptop .

Any help is appreciated :)

Thanks in advance !

got samsung galaxy s relay

works for this phone as well, it detects my SD card. however, it says my microSD card is write-protected whenever I try to drag someone on. I've searched google for all the solutiosn to remove this write-protection, but none seem to work :(

Does anyonf have any solutions or ideas that they know of?

Thanks!

[edit] found airdroid. looks like this app works just as well
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] MohammadAG:
Is your SD card by any chance exFAT formatted? The PS3 can only read FAT partitions.

This seems to be a problem with the kernel exporting the card as read only. I'll try to work on a fix soon.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] FireWall123:
No, its FAT.

Do you think you could provide the scripts that enable either USB mass storage or mtp mode so that I can use them in tasker? If so that would be awesome!

[MENTION=2011359]MohammadAG[/MENTION]

Couldn't you mount the internal storage as a loop back device to make it look like it's external? Then you should be able to mount that and the external SD card using UMS. i.e. how one would use Bind in Linux?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ducksaucei3:
Thanks MohammadAG.

Also, not sure if this is normal, but my the microSD is viewed as a CD Drive and not as a USB Removable Device.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] islipfd19:
Instead of using bind (because it looks like the mounts are doing it or something very similar); wouldn't it be possible to have the app point to the /storage/sdcard0 and/or /storage/sdcard1 location and then mount as UMS?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] earthgrowl:
Works great ! Thank you very much :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] MohammadAG:
I think it's the same issue. Will see about it.

USB mass storage needs an actual block device. I had an idea to work around it but you'd need twice the amount of storage for an item you copy, till you disconnect the device, then the duplicate data will be removed, but it's a bit hard to implement.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] islipfd19:
It should be possible. I'm pretty sure it was implemented on the HTC One X at the kernel level (perhaps and something else at the OS level). I used UMS on the one x as my primary driver and completely forgot about MTP.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] irishpancake:
Same here. ..Thanks a lot.

Just a query re use of this in car....not like connecting to a PC...which is the best way to connect/disconnect. I get the unmount warning but as it is a car audio system, I normally just click yes and tell a lie. ...

There must be a method for use with something like car

Sometimes my SD storage shows 0 after this...depends on what I have done, but reboot gets it back

Hope there is a method which is idiot proof.....it is a great App.

Thanks again

Problem with 64 Gbyte SD Card

I Have a big problem:

Only my 32 Gbyte SD Card seems to work with your Software. When I inserted my 64 Gbyte SD, the devices like my TV or car-radio can't see any Memory inserted.

Is this a known Issue?

Can I help?

Maybe I can help in some way.

But I'm running a rooter VZW Samsung Galaxy Note II on a T-Mobile network.

No Custom Roms being run.

Model: SCH-I605

Android Version: 4.1.2

Baseband Version: i605VRAMC3

Initial install works.

But card comes up as CD Rom not writeable.

I've tried the autorun.iso change still the same issue.

Anything I can send you to help you see how to resolve this CD issue?

Same problem here.

After installing app in my s3 and try to mount it as UMS, I got the unable to unmount... message, click in forced unmount... and then nothing happen.

Card still in MTP mode and the phone hasn't been recognized in any computer since then.

Any solution?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] reesu:
Non working with my galaxy note 8.0 (rooted stock firmware 4.1.2 XXBMD1) it shows a empty cd player on windows. Be free to ask me if you want more detail, i think it nearly works with the galaxy note 8.0 as your app says "sucefully usb storage mode..." and then shows something on windows. i hope it will work whit the next firmware.

Help please

HI,

I recently installed this app+busybox on my rooted ATT S4 SGH I337. android 4.2.2 OS. The UI works fine and I can change between the two modes, My computer however wont recognize the USB system but it does see the MTP system. I do have the USB drivers installed, my car stereo wont recognize it either. What am I missing here?

Thanks A BUNCH!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Mnt-XDA:
Hiiii

Nice app :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] MohammadAG:
I hid it for Verizon users, couldn't afford the bad reviews cause of people not reading that it doesn't work.

I can't easily add support for it. I don't have access to one and running commands and posting output isn't helping me.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] R.Suave:
Sorry to be so blatant, but I really don't see an use for this. I think I must be missing something. Cant one just plug in their phone and access their sd card as is (and use it as "mass storage")?

Can someone please explain the advantages of using this mod. Thanks :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Midnght:
You are missing the point.

The mass storage feature has been removed on the new samsung phones.

You are expected to sync to your internal memory.

That's way now the phones come in designations like 2/14 meaning 16 gigs total but 2 dedicated to memory and 14 for internal storage not counting your sd card.

To get data on the sd card you have to move it inside the phone then pull out the sd card.

Yeah sucks don't it.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] R.Suave:
Thanks for your response but your sentence "To get data on the sd card you have to move it inside the phone then pull out the sd card." doesn't make sense to me. When I want to put a file on the sd card, I connect my phone, open the device in my computer, open sd card subfolder and transfer.

To me it seems like it just cuts out 1 step (opening the sd card subfolder). Im so confused
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Midnght:
You have to go into your phone use a file manager to move the file to the sd card then pull the sd card out and stick it in a reader on your PC.

You're right that's why this app was made so it would work like it used to work and not how Samsung has decided it should work for us.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] MohammadAG:
One more thing to note, is that MTP works by sending a file to your phone, and your phone writes that to your device, which is capped by your device's memory and whatever size the chunks are sent in, so UMS wins in terms of speed (though I've seen/heard mixed results on the Galaxy S4)

While MTP abstracts partition types (since the phone is actually handling files and just sending lists to the PC), it isn't an adapted format. It sucks to use MTP on Linux or Mac OS X, or your PS3, or your media streamer, or your car stereo, or just about anything that's not a PC.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] R.Suave:
Ok, this makes perfect sense to me. Thanks for the mod and great explanation :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] lovekeiiy:
MTP isn't always PC friendly either. I have some items, like Visual Basic program assigns not load properly because of MTP. I have to copy and paste it to the PC first. This allowed me to turn use the phone as a regular USB drive, such as thumb drive, and not have to copy and paste.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] injulia:
Just want to share,

Try http://www.mobizen.com/en/

It allows you to make internal (phone memory) and external (microSD Card) as USB Mass Storage.

work fine.

PS.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] MohammadAG:
This isn't mass storage mode.

Mass Storage mode wil never work while Android's booted up. And if it does, Windows doesn't support ext4 so it'll propmt you to format it.

FYI, I got mass storage mode working for internal storage in recovery mode, but again, you'll need linux to read it as it's ext4.

I'm still debating whether to actually release it, as it'll export /data, not just the SD Card.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] T4rd:
Ok, so I found this thread and grazed over it and from the gist of it, it seems useless for the Verizon Galaxy S3/4/Note 2. Is that right? I have a Verizon Note 2 and just got a 64GB card to replace my 32GB card and wanted to copy all of my files over using Mass Storage mode since MTP says it's going to take 6 hours to copy it all over, lol. When I press Mass Storage Mode, my SD card shows up as a CD drive on my Win7 (64 bit) PC and doesn't let me do anything with the files/folders on the card except open them up. I can't copy/paste, modify, delete or change permissions on anything.

I'm rooted/ROM'd though, so I'm not running Verizon's ROM. I'm running Beans v.20 ROM on it, which is based off of the international Note 2's ROM, I think and not the Verizon ROM. I e-mail the dev hoping for some sort of support for this. There has to be some way of getting mass storage mode on these phones to work. MTP is just way too damn slow :(.

Thanks in advance for any help!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] lovekeiiy:
it's not useless. MTP works for most things. As for copying issue, yes, it's not a fast process. I find it best to copy to the PC, then over to the new car. Some microSD cards come with SD card adapter so you can use the SD card slot in the PC.

This is app, as the OP stated, in so many words, to get the mobile device, especially for the microSD, to act like a USB thumb drive. For most things, MTP doesn't show really distinguish itself. Others, it's a complete disaster. For example, in school, I need to programming assignments for Visual Basic. Under MTP, I cannot open VB programs saved onto the microSD card. I get errors. I have to copy and paste to PC. With this app, I no longer have to.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] PetrichorXFi:
Via direct APA download I can install it on my rooted Verizon GS4 (SCH-i545) on JB 4.2.2 ME7 OTA (aka locked bootloader version). BUUUUT when I open the app it says the current mode is "Mass storage", unlikely as this is my FIRST time of opening the app. When clicking on "Mass storage" to be sure that mode is the current mode I get an error

"

Failed to unmount!

The MicroSD card failed to

an application is accessing it. You

can either close the applications

using the card, or force unmount

it, would you like to force umount

it? (WARNING: this may cause data loss!)

Mohammad, any chance you have an idea how to unlock the Verizon GS4 bootloader? The latest OTA locked it, we've got root again, but no kernel/bootloader access :(

FYI, the bounty for whoever gets the bootloader unlocked is something like $5000 USD... not sure how that works when you're not in the US...
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JozzaTheWick:
Mohammad - I saw earlier in the thread (though I can't find it right now) that if you had ssh access to a device that might help? If you were interested in adding support for Verizon devices, I can make my Verizon S4 available for you to ssh into?

When I enable mass storage I get the failed to unmount message even though I kill all apps running in the background etc.

Sometimes I will see my card in my computer but it's not fully mounted or something so it's grayed out kind of. So I have to press the button in the app again.

Also sometimes I get this message:

Unable to find software on your PC that can recognise your device...

Any wired FTP server solution for internal memory?

I understand that mounting the internal memory in mass storage is not possible for many reasons. Partition in /data, ext4 filesystem and so on..

But should be really useful to tranfer file to and from internal pemory and a PC in a fastest connection possible.

Do you think is it possible to develop an FTP server app to be able to use USB wired connection to and from a PC?

An FTP server that works under wi-fi is still there and works. But it's slow.

I wonder con can tranfer by cable at very high speed to and from internal memory and a PC.

Any suggestion?

Kind regards.

you can check your device to see it if is properly rooted by downloading rootchecker from the Android market"

I downloaded root checker to check how the phone is rooted but that application says..."Sorry! This device does not have proper root access."

I have done the uninstall and reinstall on BusyBox still the same problem. How do i get the BusyBox installation working and eventually the Mass Storage Mode working if someone ever figures out how to get it to work on version s4.

Also how else can i check to see if the device is properly rooted?

I use a ext4 partition at the end of the card to boot a persistent linux OS.

Under gparted or windows disk management it only shows the fat32 partition and not both with ext4.

Is this an limitation of the app or newer Android systems?

If you're using Sprite Backup 2 then you MUST get version 3. Version 2 has a known problem where it screws up your SMS folders and you can't receive text messages.

CleanMail will clean your pocket outlook folders (erasing EVERYTHING) and get it back into a working state.

I strongly suggest getting version 3 of Sprite Backup as it doesn't have this problem.

I had this too, a week ago with sprite backup version3.1.1. Go to
