Hi there,
is there a solution to use the XDA as a usb pen drive to save data from pc and to retrieve data from XDA to, as with a pen drive?
With infrared connection is possible to send files to and from the pc, but with USB? It always asks for activesync, but I don't want to install activesync in every pc's I go.
Thank you,
Rudy.
try doing a search on usb storage controller
or something like that
i seem to recall that somebody had an url to a driver
which would let the pc see the pda as an such
I've tried to search but I wasn't able to find nothing.
Could you help me, please?
Rudy

seek and thou shall find
otherwise get me to do it
hope this help
thank you rudegar but in that topic there is nothing about using the XDA as a storage device, but rather how to connect a storage device to the XDA.
Any other help ?
rudy
if you read the whole thread you'll se that, i think it's the 3th post a person give a go at helping but insted of giving info as to how to use a storage device on the xda he give an url to what you are looking for
the link provided in the 3rd post is:
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/usbmassstoragedriver.shtml
but this is how to use a storage device on the XDA, not as how to use XDA AS A storage device.
Or am I misunderstanding something?
rudy
my bad i misread the conclusion of that other post
Rudegar hang head in shame

What's the difference between this and WM5Storage?
Excellent..
Good.. Work well..
700MB -> About 5~6Min..
Program is too small, so I like it..
Thanks..
Thanks! It works great!!! There is even no need to reconnect the cable. Simple and fast. Do you know who is the developer?
Thanks. Works very well.
There are three options in the setting. Turbo ActiveSync, Normal ActiveSync, and Mass USB disk.
I set it to Turbo and thought that transferring files is a lot quicker than before now.
WIth Mass USB, I could only see the device but not the storage card or microdrive. Is this normal? Is there a way to see all three?
Thanks man ) Write speed is 3,3 mb\s, read is 3,5
Nice program, I find it works a bit better than WM5torage.
BUT !
Do not connect as a USB mass storage device when using Audio Manager for it will (and does, I tested) f*ck Audio Manager up (logical, since Audio Manager will detect that the microdrive's been used by another application and try to refresh its library, endlessly since the lock isn't removed until the device is disconnected).
Finally something that works better than WMStorage... but can't switch to storage card only the microdrice... even without this option i finally can replace my usb stick with a usb cable...
Yes! Hurrah!
Unlike WM5torage, in ANY of its versions, this works!
Even got Turbo Activesync working using the instructions on the last post on that thread linked above: when Generic RNDIS is detected and Windows asks for a driver, tell it to search in c:\program files\microsoft activesync\drivers and that did the job for me. Don't know if it's actually any faster than standard Activesync, but it couldn't be slower.
Thanks very much!
Thank you veru match

Okay, a follow up to that. The Turbo mode works by activating the network-via-USB. It works very well indeed here on my work PC, but doesn't on my home PC. It connects, but doesn't start the synch and just sticks on Looking for Changes.
I don't suppose anyone has a fix for that? Normal practice seems to be to untick the "Enable advanced network functionality" box, which is what this mode uses.

USB Storage
I have two issues: When I activate the attached USB file it disables Active Sync and secondly My computer doesn't seem to recognize it as a storage drive (I must be missing some type of PC USB file). Any suggested solutions would be greatful.
there will be a new utility in 4.0 of my roms. it is directly from htc.
It is possible to connect a flash disc to my athena?because i need space and the flash drives are bigger then the memory card.thx
Yes . You can - Athena has USB Host funcionality - You've to use 4in1 cable .

Can we find the utility from HTC without the ROM? I appreciate your work but I'm not a fan on changing my baby's ROM.
I trying to find references on Google for such tool without success.
Thank yopu in advance,

Please everyone excuse me for my ignorance....but what does this software/utility do?
I get the picture that it download directly to the Microdrive via active sync...is that right?

No NOT via active sync and that is the beauty ! you can go to any modern computer and *without* installing active sync get the microdrive to show up as a USB memory stick and transfer data.
Great!Thanks!

Sounds like a firewall issue. Try without firewall.
I've cooked my latest Android ROM with "cyanogenmod_183" and latest tytung's kernel "r_12_beta", and my tethernig USB doesn't work!
Instead, wi-fi hotspot work very fine!
When connect my USB cable to the PC (Windows 7), it doesn't detect my PDA... and i can not even use my phone as USB Mass Storage.
I've included into my rom, the files "hosts" and "resolv.conf" for HD2.. but nothing to do...
When tap to activate Tethering USB, i see the error message "USB not connected"! 0_o
Where i wrong? How i can fix this problem?
Thanx to all..
I hoped for any answers... it's possible that on the famous xda no one can explain me how i can fix my problem or where i've wrong? 0_o
We aren't all informatic engineers.. no everybody has attended a school in computer science! I'm here to learn... i've searched for any topic that can resolve my problem, but i can't find it...
I hoped for any answers, but also only one answer with this text: "we don't want help you!" would be sufficient!!!
Did you install the drivers ?
Sent from my Ultima Weapon© using XDA App
I've read in someone thread that the only two files
that i need are these two:
hosts
resolv.conf

Are these the drivers? If not, can you tell me

Does USB mass storage works - in other words, does your phone show the USB logo in the notification bar on the top (and when you pull down the notification bar, you should have a notification to enable USB mass storage drive).
See if that works - that is the indication that the computer is detecting the phone. Also check your device manager to see if Android phone is listed.
Finally, you will get better help if you post in the HD2 Android Q&A section.
Problem solved... i've forget the bin file named "vold" in "system/bin" folder!
The two files "hosts" and "resolv.conf" that i've pasted into "system/etc" folder aren't enough... they need a binary file named "vold" into "system/bin" folder to work properly!
Now my HD2 Tethering USB work very fine!
Thank you for the answers!
Ive done a preliminary search on transferring files on the TFP and im not sure if im just blind or if we are really just limited to MTP transferring but i was wondering if any one knows of away to increase file transfer speeds over usb using mtp or if there is an alternate way to transfer files that i am completely missing.
I have rooted but havent decided if i want to unlock my bootloader so please refrain from suggesting flashing certain roms.
Thank you in advance
-Cheers
Up to now we don't have mass storage mode available. Maybe you can use the PTP option for fast transfer.

MTP sucks.
Any idea what it would take to get mass storage working this is a big enough deal for me to flash a rom

!!! HELP !!!...AFTER ROOTING MY NOOK TABLET I CONNECTED IT TO MY LAPTOP'S USB PORT SO THAT I COULD DOWNLOAD AN e-Book USING ADOBE DIGITAL EDITIONS SOFTWARE...FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON THE TABLET IS NOT RECOGNIZED AND AS A RESULT I CAN'T DOWNLOAD THE e-Book...PLEASE HELP...ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED...THANK YOU...:crying:
What operating system? The device isn't recognized or nothing shows up at all when you plug it in?
Just an fyi posting the same thing in multiple forums wont get you answers any faster and has a tendency to cause a failure to respond at all. With that said, provide more details such as what version are you on. 1.41, .42, .43 ? What process did you use to root? Have you tried creating a CM7 SD card (how to is in these forums so read a bit for specifics) and see if that allows access? Are you sure its not an issue with the PC you're using? Have you tried it on another pc just to rule that out?

Typing in all caps is really not needed either. We can read just fine.
Sent from my A500 using xda premium
Thread moved to Q&A and other thread closed. Please don't post more than one thread on the same subject again please and always post in the right section. Also as stated above people can read normal fonts just fine and using caps signifies shouting meaning it'll be looked at and ignored by some.
I apologize for posting in 2 different forums, wasn't sure which one would apply...
The software version shows 9.9.9 under "About Your NOOK" in settings, however I believe the correct version(1.4x) was overlayed when rooting was done...I tried plugging into different USB ports from several laptops, same results...NOOK Tablet is not recognized, getting Removable Disk(F/G/H) instead when looking in My Computer...Something is inhibiting turning on USB to recognize the device when plugged into the PC...Someone suggested (in the other forum) to turn USB mass storage on from the NOOK...How is that done?...Do I need to tweak something for USB to be on?...TGPS_LAUNCHER shows USB debugging is checked(twice) under Development...Could this be related?...Rooting was done following instructions in XDA-DEVELOPERS website...Let me know if I you need any other information to helpme get my NOOK TABLET get recognized when plugged into USB port...Your help is greatly appreciated...Thank you...
:victory:Good News!!!...I poked around in TGPS_LAUNCHER & tweaked the settings for USB debugging(uncheck) & Auto Mount(check)...I then plugged my NT to the USB port, fired up Adobe Digital Editions & voila!...The NOOK Tablet was detected and I was able to download the e-Book...
And of course I still have the rooted device intact...Thank you all...
In the future, try not to panic. Any perceived issue you have with this device has likely been encountered by at least one other person (and usually many more than that). As a result, there is probably a relatively simple and easy solution that eludes, as was the case this time, and really no reason to worry/panic.
Hey all. Just a second ago I had a whole nice post typed up about this, but something happened on my computer and I lost it. So here's the deal. I can't get my computer to recognize my phone and allow me to access it as a drive. I tried to manually install the drivers but that wouldn't work, it said that the Windows MTP driver wasn't installed then it asked me to install Windows Media Format 11 runtime, which I did, and that didn't help, so I installed Windows MTP, and that didn't fix it either. Before you ask, I have my phone in MTP mode. Please help. I love this phone and just want to be able to use it to it's potential. Thank you.
Edit: Also I should mention it's a Verizon LG V10 VS990. Let me know if you need any more info, I would greatly appreciate some help.
I never use MTP. For way more control, Explorer from Speed Software can connect to any Windows (SMB) share on your home network.

Thanks man, but this didn't work either I'm still getting nothing popping up besides a few messages that say nothing important, but do give away the fact that my computer is old and becoming senile.

Thank you, I can give this a try when I go home for a temporary fix but where I'm staying at the wi-fi is trash so I don't think it will work well. It also wouldn't suit all my needs, including eventually rooting my device, so I'm going to keep trying to find a more permanent solution. I appreciate the reply.
