No usb storage mode for GS3 internal memory. Only MTP.

USB Mass Storage, or UMS, was replaced by Media TransferProtocol, or MTP for ICS & above.

thanks for the quick reply, i was referring to files i had copied over to the phone before i flashed the new rom which i cannot see any longer, together with all the folders and stuff. does this mean i have to copy the files i want to keep all into my computer and then manually transfer into the phone again?
Do you have samsung driver or kies installed on your computer?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
yep i do, i installed the drivers off the s3 toolkit, thats how i was able to copy content onto the phone in the first place
install kies driver and android sdk driver
that will solve the problem of my files not appearing inside the phone after its connected? my computer can recognise the phone and i can open it up and even tell how much free space there is, but the inside is totally empty, when i flash back to omega the files can be seen again. im just wondering if this is a jellybean peculiarity
Install kies if you haven't already.. If that doesn't work, restart the phone and then try.
I inherited a T959 that I cant get to unbrick. It boots to splash ("Overstock", whatever that is...) and hangs. I can get to recovery (CWM 2.5.1.3 w/ voodoo lagfix) and I can get it into download mode from there. I cant get ADB to find device, I cant get it to show up on ODIN (3 v1.0 or v1.7), and I cant see sdcard in CWM recovery. Any ideas?
Setup:
Windows 7x64
Latest USB drivers.
What drivers do you have installed? Have you tried a different cable?
Funny thing, I read a few posts about bad USB cables but thought "naw, that can't be it". Turns out it is.
I still cant get the SD card to read from CWM, but I will ODIN it back to factory and see what I can do. Thanks.
You can mount the internal or external sd card trough cwm and coppy your files, or what ever rom you wanna flash, you just gotta have the right drivers and then go into (mounf and storage) then mount your sd card or internal storage...
Got it all up and running. Thanks.
Hi,
I just failed my rom, it wont reboot anymore..
and i just cleaned the sd card..
so no backup and no more rom there..
now if i plug my phone onto my pc with usb, the pc wont fidn him, so i cant copy a rom to the internal memory.
i dont have a external sd card.
how can i get a zip file to my internal memory now ?
install kies if you havent already onto your pc (it installs required drivers)
plug the phone in to your pc - if it registers, flash a stock rom with odin

I agree with DSA "flash a stock rom with odin" @Racinghart91, Can you get in to download mode?
if the stock boot doesnt work!...(am hoping it does) .., .. try using the resurrection rom and flashing it via odin... Good LUck!
I've recently flashed my phone with Nemesis kernel using Flashtool, and installed "MoonBreaker 3.5". Unfortunately it is horribly, horribly broken so I have tried to do a full wipe and reinstall. This also failed to work, and somehow wiped my internal storage, so now I have no kernels or roms available on this phone.
The phone boots, but the market doesn't work, downloads app doesn't work, there is no file explorer and no network connection. The phone will not mount as usb storage when booted, or when in CWM recovery. When booted it gives me an "MTP USB Device - Failed" message after attempting to install drivers (win7 and winxp). When in CWM it does nothing at all.
Therefore my question is, how on earth do I get files onto my phone now?

What model of phone do you have? I had the same problem with the Sola (I insanely forgot copy .zip on sdcard before flashing bootloader) and i solved copying the archive on external SD then with CWM selecting Install zip from external sd. Of course this method is not valid if you have Xperia U. In this case or in another case where you haven't any external SD slot try reading this guide.
I have an Xperia P, sorry the forum denied my edit for some reason. Thanks for your ideas!
I've had some success booting into fastboot then, while it's connected, switching to flash mode. Stock kernel reinstalled! Thanks for your help!!

Hi all,
First off, get the laughs out the way. Not posted on here before but used the forum a lot over the past year or so and i desperatley need someones help.
Long story short.
1) Currently i can only access CMR 6.0.3.2
2) I have no ROM available on int SD due to doing a system wipe while flashing Cyanogenmod 11 nightly which failed due to Status 7 error ( did not think this error would happen!)
3) My PC & Laptop will not recognise the S3 through USB despite all correct drivers being correct.
4) CMR will not let me mount the 8GB ext SD card. I have tried formatted to NTSC and Fat 32 and both not mounting, get the mount error message.
To sum it up, im fooked. I cannot access the int SD to drop a ROM on it and cannot access the Ext SD card through recovery which DOES have a ROM on it.
Do any ofyou fantastic people have any idea what i can do apart from dress it up nicely and make an ornament out of it?
Thanks!
Scott

Yes Scott. Do not make an ornament out of it!
Okay, serious .. download the ROM of your region from sammobile.com. Install Odin on your laptop. Boot your S3 in download mode. Flash the firmware from sammobile.com on your phone using Odin.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2323847 - Follow this guide from step 2. No need to make the binary counter 0. It is important to recover your phone.

Hi Hamza,
Thanks for the reply. This is one of the problems noted above as that my laptop and PC will not recognise my S3 via USB. Tried different USB wires and installed various versions of the drivers, uninstalled, reinstalled etc It just will not connect be recognised.
Any other thoughts?

Sorry, I thought that your phone will get recognized when in Odin mode or download mode. I am afraid I am out of tricks for now, but let me search and get back to you in case I find anything
Hello Scott,
Can you enter in Download mode on phone?
"First shut down your device, then power on by simultaneously pressing the power button, home button and volume down key. Now you will see download mode and you will be asked if you want to cancel or continue. Press volume up to continue or volume down to cancel and reboot."
For that part you don't need connection to PC (yet).
If u succeed entering in download mode, then use the link that Hamza posted, to restore your device through Odin
HI!
Its no problem to get in to download mode but as the laptop and PC will not recognise my S3, neither does Odin.
The very 1st think i knew to do was to try and flash a stock ROM via Odin, but sadly can't
I've flashed ROM's a lot however it was a rookie mistake not to make a backup on this occasion that was accessable in this situation. My backups and ROMs are on the Ext SD card....
Ive searched and the only 2 outcomes i can see to resolve are to mount my Ext SD card, which i can't do on CMR or to make the handset visible o use Odin or to drop a ROM on the Int SD but again, can't.

Have you tried with another USB cable? Sometimes USB cable could be faulty.

We have 5 or 6 USB cables for our phones around here, and only 3 work for our S3 phones. Worth a try?
One more thing crossed my mind... In CWR, did you try "mount usb storage"? Under "mounts and storage" setting.
I had a similar problem few weeks ago, changed recovery and new recovery didn't want to read exFat card...

I suggest you uninstall samsung kies first.
Proceed here uninstall old samsung usb drivers too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555
There is 3 methods of installing it clearly written there with step by step instructions. Hope with this method your pc recognize your phone.
If that method fails.
Like many said you have to manually insert rom files into your external sd card using a reader. I hope your problem is not similar to this guy

You said Odin not recognize phone how about Kies? If you have not tried Kies and you can get it to recognize your phone try this Emergency Firmware Recovery link works on S3 >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261153 <<
Hi,
Tried various USB cables and nada. Due to this Odin, Kies or anything will else will not recognise the handset and that's on a PC and a Laptop.
As for the Mass Storage in recovery, the version of CMR doesn't have that option otherwise i would have tried!
I was focusing more on trying to mount the Ext SD card on CMR. Is there any suggestions on this? Tried NTFS and Fat 32 with varying cluster sizes but not happening. Any other suggestions?

Fat32 should work, not sure about NTFS... Did u tried another card? Or removing battery and reinserting after SD card format?
Thanks for all the suggestions.... Had a family emergency.
Tried everything, i now think that there is a hardware issue with the phone as its a Code 43 error whenever i try to update the driver so the handset can talk to my PC. Seen as this option looks fooked i can only now and try to figure why the Ext SD wont mount on CMR and how to resolve it.
If i can;t then no option but to send it to the big warehouse in the Sky,
Just to exclude, did you tried another SD card?
