Since i cant post in the development section,so i decided to post my issue in here.
I have this problem which i cant access my SD card content through the music and gallery stock apps.I tried using third party apps and it still gave the same result.The apps show no content at all.Anyone have went through the same problem?Any idea how to solve this issue? :fingers-crossed:
maybe you should try it with another microSD-Card, I also had some problems with the installation, so I had to install it many times until it really worked fine...
Issue with [ROM][JB][UNOFFICIAL] CM10 BETA1, to enable USB Media device,phone storage
Neither I (noob) can post new thread with new issue discovered... So I post this here.
This is my first post on XDA forum. I have been using the ROM now for 1 week. Gracias Zeubea!!! Neither any problems with battery drain, it lasts for 2-3 days.
Here is my issue:
THe idea was to review and put some new ringtones in /system/media/audio/ folder on phone's storage.
I shut down the phone, took out the SD card and boot it.
Then I connected it via USB to WinXP PC. Windows explorer does see Removable Disk letter, but it doesn't show its contents (folders, files...).
While there is SD card on, notification in status bar appears and you can choose to turn-on USB memory storage. When there is no card in, there is no notification and you cannot choose to view folders in phone's memory, while I could do that when I had official Froyo from HTC.
I googled a bit and found some kind solution on another type of phone (i have link, but i cannot post it, since I am noob!)
via Settings/Wireless&Networks/Storage and then choose Menu button and under additional options you can find "Connect as Media Device (MTP), which is turned off by default , and when you try to turn it on, menu hangs and it forces to close. There is 3rd option in that menu which doesn't appear on that page is, Turn on USB Mas Storage which is on.
I did further some search on XDA forum and even tried code in Terminal Emulator under su rights
persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb
and nothing happened
Is this some bug that one can expect maybe will be adressed in the future?

Your funny, if you take out sdcard then try to access sdcard via USB its not going to work :banghead: because sdcard is gone, there is nothing wrong with zeubeas rom in regards to USB storage.
Oh and btw, you can't access system folder using USB mass storage mode, you can use adb on your computer to access the phones storage bits n pieces like system, data and sdcard.
For the sake of safety for your phone I think that you need to get a better understanding of how android system works before messing with your system folders!

dear ranger; first of all, thank you for very prompt answer. Iam glad this is very live community, where you can post any question and you get answer. With all respect, in stock ROM, both HTC and some other LG model my wife owns, when you connect via USB the phone without SD card, there is notification and dialog what sort of connection to choose (you know: charge/USB storage/...). Even CM 7.2.0 final for HTC legend has it. You can access contents of phone storage (without SD card). Haven't you tried yourself before?
Maybe you are other type of person, but my goal is not to be every day clung infront of PC passing adb commands to comunicate the phone with PC. I thought there is some simplier way to do the same. I will be glad if you can inform me where I can read more about adb commands regarding accessing and passing files across system folders.
And I don't even intend to mess with sys folders, I know for this we have zeubea type people. Simply I wanted to add few ogg files, that's it. And I know I can put same named folders /media/audio/ringtones/ on SD card and it should funcion with some minimal lag but I was curious if it is very simply to that other way. I will not even intend to mess system folders.
Have a good day. =)
I'm not sure what you want - the Legend has limited onboard flash, so you really should use your SDcard as much as you possibly can. Use Link2SD to store non-system apps on an extra partition on your card, so apps won't die when SD card's primary partition is mounted via USB.
To transfer music, connect Legend to your computer using USB, enable USB storage on phone, and copy music files to SDcard's 'music' folder. Works for me using mp3, haven't tried ogg.

I'm also considered a noob, so I can't post in the rom dev thread yet, so here we go
I've been running this ROM for about a week, and I've had some issues that I haven't seen reported elsewhere:
Contacts: When searching for a contact, it appears that some filtering is applied, and oftentimes the contact I'm looking for is not found, although it's there when I scroll through contacts. Depending on language settings (english vs danish) the search also seems to be case sensitive, so e.g. entering 'fra', 'Frank' doesn't show up.
Also, contacts are not consistently transferred to my Parrot Bluetooth car kit. Could be bluetooth glitches
WLAN: Using Wifi Analyzer and similar apps, channels are not identified properly, but instead marked as all 0, 1 or ?. I suppose it hangs on a slightly unsuitable WLAN driver, because I haven't seen it in other JellyBean or CM10 ROMs (HTC HD2)
More issues
I just found a few threads mentioning the WLAN channel issue on select HTC handsets since CM6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1022379 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=891563. Unfortunately, there's no clear solution in those threads.

Whenever I plug my phone in, set it to USB mass storage, it always sets back to Motorola phone portal with a little roll back icon in the menu bar.
I need the USB mass storage to grab some files off my atrix. How do I fix this?
I was having a similar problem until I uninstalled Motorola Media Link.
close everything related to your phone. I had the same problem once and it turned out I had a cmd window open with adb commands that had been previously run on it. I'd close EVERYTHING related to your phone, restart the phone then start again.
Like someone previously mentioned about Media Link, if you right click the icon in the system tray, there is a menu in the pop-up that gives you the option of selecting what the device does by default when you connect it. By default, the option is set to Phone Portal, but you have the option of setting it to that, Mass Storage or None.
I'm not 100% certain that the second option is Mass Storage, but I know that it can be changed so that your phone won't default to Phone Portal. It should just be a matter of exiting Media Link rather than uninstalling it that or merely changing your settings in it.
I think he means the glitch where no matter what you choose on the phone itself, it will always default back to the phone portal option before it mounts the SD card as a usable USB device in Windows Explorer.
I suppose that's possible, but without being more specific, the problem could be resolved by changing the MediaLink settings. Obviously, if the problem is the one you are referring to, my suggestion would be irrelevant. =p
Anyone get PAW server working in place of Moto Phone Portal? Gawd it sucks!
1. You have to use IE or FF, which is cool because I already use FF, but when I click on File Manager it warns, "File Manager access supported on Internet Explorer only." WTF over they can't make up their minds?
2. I finally get File Manger working through IE of course and then it takes me to some DavWWWRoot web folder???
3. So I copy a couple music files - then go to the phone using Astro - find the files in my /mnt/sdcard/ folder - copy the files (won't let me cut or move) - find my "Music" folder deeper on the SD card - copy the files there - go back to the /mnt/sdcard/ folder and delete the now duplicate files.
Holy smokes is this thing awful or am I just making it awful?
Please someone help me get the much better PAW working!
What I lost:
The first TKD-sparringsmatches (ever) of the 7yo son of a friend of mine were succesfully filmed with my SGT 10.1v. The boy performed phenomenally: Despite being a debutant, he won 3 matches in a row and won the golden cup, abroad!
How It happened:
At home, I eagerly connected the SGT with the USB-cable to a Windows XP PC, selected the recorded media files in the DCIM/camera folder and choosed "MOVE". The transfer started, with placing the files in the "My Documents" folder on the PC. Because that wasn't my preferred destination, I canceled the transfer...
Then the disaster occured: The files disappeared !!! They no longer existed on the Tab.
Futile rescue:
I immediately started an obsessive search in Google, determined to find a solution to recover these lost files. In the meanwhile, I made sure to put nothing new in the tab's internal 16GB memory.
Now:
That happened a week ago, and I'm devastated. The only way, as far as I know now, to make a beginning in recovering the files would be to ROOT the device and install special software e.g. Hexamob, but that hasn't even been developed for Android Honeycomb.
Help:
Therefore, I can only hope to get an answer here, to help me in my moment of total desolation...
isent it possible to use a recovery tool on your pc and connect the tab with the usb cable and select the drive that way?

That would work if the internal memory would be recognized as an SD-card. But none of the appropriate 'undelete' programs that run on windows find the external flash drive

I've successfully used software to recover missing data from a damaged sdcard. I don't remember the name of it as I'm at work and the software is on my home computer, but once I get home tonight I'll be sure to look and let you know.
EDIT: Found it! It's called PhotoRec: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec I was able to use it and it recognized my sdcard when my computer wouldn't. Hope it works for you, good luck.

Thanks varelawarfare but PhotoRec is just another example of software that rus under Windows and therefore doesn't recognize the internal memory of het SGT, it doesn't find the drive.
So it looks like the only way to recover the mediafiles would be an application that runs on the SGT 10.1v, inside or outside Android...
Were you ever able to find a solution?
I just did the same thing. Accidentally dragged my DCIM folder to another folder when in Windows, and it seemed to drop all of the photos/videos. I verified this by running an adb shell after.
The only 'recovery' apps don't seem to work on Honeycomb still, and none of the Windows or Linux file recovery programs will see the filesystem.
Just looking for ideas to get them back if possible at all.
Stock Honeycomb 3.1 on rooted 10.1

Hello everybody
I have a Micromax A116. The experience has been great.
Though from last few weeks i have been facing a trouble. When the device is connected to my laptop, i am not able to open any folder in the internal and external drives of the device. I am able to access those folders from the device itself but not from the laptop. :crying:
The issue has been prevailing since i connected my device to a desktop in my college library via the usb cable , to transfer few files. Some malwares may have been transferred as well.
Before that it was working fine. I used to open folders and do copy paste stuff through laptop as well. Now i cannot.
All the folders in the drives have turned into shortcuts and give an error on double click. I have attached a snap of the same to be more clearer for you people. Please have a look and suggest a solution. Its been a pain to transfer stuff through bluetooth only.
From my side i scanned the drives of the device with Kaspersky Internet Security original licensed version , it found out some malwares and removed them but still the issue stays. It was done through laptop only.
If the same issue has been stated previously in the forum, i apologize for bringing it up again as i was not able to find a similar one.
I tried linking the snap to this thread directly but as i am a new user its not letting me do that. Please look at the attachment instead.
Thanks.
seems like a malware problem

U need to create a backup of your data and format you sd card. seems to me a case of hidden folders, links are dummy.
>>> Try using attribute ("attrib") command, google it and run on your storage location.

It is a malware brother...
First delete all the .lnk files i.e. Shortcuts, a malware does it. If you have an anti-virus then scan it 1st. Antivirus will probably delete this .lnk files and you will not be able to see anything in your Storage but everything is there just hidden so DO NOT EVER FORMAT IT after you scan it. Now open "cmd" without quotes with administrator priviledges and :
attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.*
[You can copy the above command --> Right-click in the Command Prompt and
paste it.]
Note : Don't forget to replace the letter g with your flash drive letter.

Due to a tight schedule i was not able to perform the suggestions given by you guys since i posted the issue here.
Just a while back i executed the attrib command and it worked.
Thankyou both of you. The attrib command got the hidden folders out and i am able to access them now.
I shift deleted the shortcut copy of those folders as my Kaspersky antivirus was not able to find a virus or malware as such and did not deleted it.
Now will i need to do the attrib command everytime i connect my mobile to PC and will these shortcuts come back ? Is the mobile completely malware free ?
Please suggest any anti-malware software . I have used AVG for mobile but that didnt find any malware previously and same with KIS.
There has been another issue that has come up from last 4 to 5 of days or more. The mobile battery is draining within an hour. The battery used to stay for 10 to 12 hours previously , i do a normal calling and playing subway surfer for 10 15 minutes max a day. But now even when the phone stays idle the battery drains rapidly. Even a pdf reading on lowest brightness takes the battery to a ride.:crying:
I am charging 3 to 4 times a day from 4 to 5% to 100%:crying:
Can the malware issue be the reason for this ? Because as i just got the hidden folders back , should i monitor it for sometime now ?
Its been just 7 months with the mobile. Please suggest. Thanks

1) Dude your memory card will be malware free till you connect it back to your computer and access its content. in fact as per my understanding your folders will get hidden in any pendrive or hard drive you connect to your PC.
Most of the anti-malwares will be un effective towards this problem, So my suggestion to you is make a back up of your data in a hard drive and format your PC and run the attrib command when you first connect that hard drive back to your PC for restoring your back up.
2) As for mobile back up, according to your usage your battery back up is low. Try a factory reset of your CHD, if that doesnt help, get your battery replaced if its under warranty.
hi all, im new here, but i know how to flash things...
so, as the title said, i have 2 question (or should i say, problem);
1. no mobile network - i have tried all i know, restarting phone, remove the simcard then insert back, wipe data/cache but nothing happen
2. missing MTP<->USB mass storage option - yep, i need this since there are problem that require me to copy all file back, example;
when using MTP, my music file only show 200 when my file is 500 actually, thus i need
to use USB mass storage
FYI, im using OmniROM "omni-4.4.2-20140103-i9100g-NIGHTLY" for my GT-i9100G
thanks~
EDIT : wanna add more question, in Cyanogenmod, under Setting > development there is a n option to rename our device from "android-somerandomnumber" to "our desired name"...the question is is this option only available in CM? im using OmniROM and there is no that option
I think this would help you:
SG USB Mass Storage Enabler
@duykhanh187
what download ink?
@cubflyer
thanks for the suggestion, so there's no way to enable it unless using 3rd party eh?
btw, after this problem i've clean flash my phone and its working now, though there are some app that i cant install, i get this message "App not installed"...that app is awaremote 2.3, havent try others...
EDIT ; @cubflyer
your suggestion didn't work...it corrupt my external SD...have to move from SlimKat to CyanFox
Hey there,
Recently my Galaxy S3 fell to the floor and the display broke. Now I'm desperatly trying to recover all of my data from the internal phone memory. The memory has 16gb in total, but when i copied it to my hard disk drive i could only copy 2gb. It seems that the camera folder (DCIM) is the only folder taht has been completely restored. Is it possible that all other folders are pin locked? Or is it more likely that the storage is broken? Anyway, what i really need to recover is the phone calendar, since not all entries had been synced with google calendar. I can't find ANY calendar file on the internal storage, and i've searched most common places (data/data/android.provider.calendar etc.). My research showed taht the only way to access the phone with recovery apps is when the debug mode has been activated. Since the display is broken there's no way for me to activate it.
In short, my questions:
- Why can I see only some of the internal storage? (2/16GB) -> broken or locked?
- do you have any idea how i can restore the phone calendar since there doesn't seem to be any calendar file?
- is there a way to activate the Debug mode with a broken screen?
I consider buying a new display just to be able to access the files. But since i don't want to waste any money i need to be 100% sure that this works. But the fact that i've only been able to copy 2GB from the internal storage and that i dont seem to find the calendar files makes me doubt that this will help at all.
additional info: I'm accessing the phone via USB cable without a sim card.
Thanks for any help.
Edit:
I also tried connecting the phone to Kies (i never used Kies before) by activating the "download mode" on the phone by pressing some buttons at the same time when turning the phone on. Kies seems to recognize something but it just keeps on saying "connecting to phone..." for hours. I take this as another indication that the phone might be broken beyond the display.
Edit2:
I found this:
inaccessible folders: folders you won't see due to lacking permissions, e.g. those in /data. To protect your apps' data, those folders belong to the corresponding application, and are only accessible by the app (in the context of file-permissions; please see the tag's wiki for closer information on those). To make those visible, you need root access on your device, and a file explorer supporting that (e.g. ES File Explorer)

Is there any way i can get root access to the phone with a broken display?
