So, I tried to get jmtpfs to work with my Galaxy S III (the international version, although I suppose the situation would be identical with the US version as well). It doesn't. I tried to use jmtpfs 0.4 with both libmtp 1.1.3 and a git version of libmtp, the result is the same, that is:
Code:
Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung GT-P7310/P7510/N7000/I9100/Galaxy Tab 7.7/10.1/S2/Nexus/Note.
PTP_ERROR_IO: failed to open session, trying again after resetting USB interface
LIBMTP libusb: Attempt to reset device
LIBMTP PANIC: failed to open session on second attempt
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'MtpErrorCantOpenDevice'
what(): Can't open device

Very nice indeed. Has anyone managed to get this working, and if so, how? FWIW I'm running 64-bit version of Arch.
(On a somewhat related note, why on earth don't manufacturers support plain old USB mass storage mode? It works pretty much anywhere and with anything)
I've been desperately trying to find a solution to the same problems as well. I'm also running Arch x64. My phone is a rooted international S3 with stock kernel and firmware.
As it seems other phone models don't have this problem.
A workaround is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711009
However, you'll only be able to access the external SD card this way.
Has anyone been succesful in using/mounting their S3 with any linux distro?
Same case. I can't connect my GS3 to Kubuntu. There is no USB mass storage protocol in the SGS3.
To transfert files between PC and GS3 it's possible to use OTA USB cable and a usb stick.
Or use application in google play : airdroid with wifi..
There is no USB mass storage protocol in the SGS3.

Actually there is. It's just not available in the menu.
Use the 'Easy UMS' APK here in XDA (requires root) and you're good to go.
As dieteric already said: only works for external SD though since internal one is virtual.

Hi everyone, I have some problems on Win7 64 Bit with my gs3. When I connect it in usb mode it doesn't work. Very few time I can open the mass storage. I don't know if this is a driver problem, and another problem is that when I use Kies, the program find my s3 but there isn't sync with it.
So I can't do anything.

my experience
Hi, my s3 was bought this month and I've updated to 4.1.1 OTA. No root.
I've never used kies, but about the usb mass storage, it just doesn't do it. When you plug the s3 to a computer, it is always in media transfer, no mass storage mode. There is another mode possible, something I don't really know what it is, but no usb mass storage.
That's what I've found out on the net when I was also looking for it. I was very disappointed. Unless you root it, you can't use it as usb mass storage.
Now, what I do to transfer files, etc, is to use a ftp-server app I've download from google play (free), and use filezilla on my computer (also i7, 64b, like yours). It works nicely, no cables needed. It could be an alternative for you, as it is for me.
Hope it helps.
Mass storage mode was removed with in Galaxy S3, nothing you can do. You should still be able to transfer files. When I plug the phone into my pc, I can simply open it with the windows explorer and there I see all the folders. If this doesn't work, install the samsung USB drivers, they can be found here on the forums.
Hey there,
Here is a list of what I have before I get started.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi (P7510)
Android Version - 3.2
Kernel Version - [email protected]#1
Build Number - INFAMOUS TAB 0.1 P7510UEKMM
Basically I have no access to my tablets internal SD card via my PC (Windows 7 and KIES)
I bought this tablet from a friend who rooted and flashed with the INFAMOUS mod.
I have searched all over the web for an answer and cant find something for this case specifically.
Each time I plug in my tab, my PC tells me that the Hardware ID is missing.
I can see the tablet in my Devices and Printers (displayed as SAMSUNG_android) as well as in my Device Manager. In device manager it says the drivers are up to date and functioning.
What have I tried?
USB Debugging (On and Off)
Clearing cache via recovery mode
Updating drivers via W7 and KIES via Samsung
I have tried following a few threads on installing the KIES software without internet connectivity. However I would rather not use the KIES Software anyway as it is kind of garbage.
I am looking to have access to the internal SD card so I can flash a new Rom on the Tab, however I would first like to even just have access to the file transferring.
Can anyone point me in the direction of help and me being able to enjoy this tablet?
I hope I have provided enough information. I am a pretty techy person and I understand how to do all of this but it seems like I am missing something really big.
Something to take note of, whenever the tab is plugged in (PC or Wall) there is a red x over the battery symbol and the tab charges very slowly.
Cheers

The Galaxy Tab doesn't expose the internal "sdcard" as a device that you can mount on your PC. If you enable it, it shows up as a MTD device.
The sdcard partition is formatted using a Linux native filesystem, not FAT, so Windows can't recognize it.
I use adb to push files onto the sdcard. ADB comes with the android SDK.

As stated, make sure you have your tablet in MTP, and if so, make sure to update your drivers.
Settings > Storage > Additional Settings (top right) > MTP
To build on the above, if you have uninstalled Kies but also the Samsung USB drivers, you will be unable to connect the tab. Reinstall (or maybe uninstall and reinstall if you still have them) the drivers. A lot of the times that is the issue.
Go to Settings>Storage>Options/Info (The one on the upper right)>MTP(Check this one)
hope this help

Ahhh ha! As soon as I uninstalled the driver that windows found and used the Google Driver that came along with the Android SDK, the tablet was recognized. Alas, I can finally use this tablet.
In the end it was as simple as a driver error, I spent a very long time searching last night and now I just feel silly.
The tablet still shows the red X over the battery symbol, whether I have MTP with USB Debugging on or off. I guess this can be avoided with certain ROMS. Anybody know of a ROM that avoids this?
Thank you all for your immediate responses!

By the way you two, there is no option in 3.2 for this.
In 3.2 its Applications/Development/USB Debugging
In storage there is no option to choose MTP, it seems that it always has been enabled and I cant find it anywhere in the settings to change it.
Thanks for the input though

For honeycomb and many others, debugging is always there. Under the storage option, you have an Additional Settings button usually and it should be present in there. I was always running3.2 until like a couple days ago so surprised its not there. Oh well problem solved lol
I'm having a similar problem with my tab not being recognised by my pc (win7 64) or in kies. It was originally an M380W (Korean) model, which I updated to a P7510. That all went fine, and the tablet works perfectly, except for the fact that my pc no longer sees it when it's plugged in. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, but no dice. I'm going to see if adb works.
This is a direct question with regards to the developments going on in Misc Development
I have a Samsung SGH-i577 phone running:
Android Version: 4.1.2
Kernel version: [email protected] #1
CyanogenMod version: 10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL-i577
Build Date: 10/JAN/2013
I'm running this with TWRP recover manager.
First off, thanks for putting the time into this ROM. It's such a great phone and so much better with JB on it.
For my issue, I'm have problems when trying to connect my Exhilarate to my computer via USB to transfer files. For some reason, the option to mount is not coming up. I've tried with and without USB debugging enabled, but to no avail. I have a Galaxy SII Skyrocket running CM9 which can connect with no issues and I have not been able to find a config issue that would be causing this.
When I reboot into TWRP, I'm able to mount my SDCARD which will then allow me to transfer files between my computer and my phone, but I can only/only do this when booted into TWRP and not while in JB.
Thanks again and I look forward to a solution!
PS
I can't respond to the dev forum because this is a new act.
In Jelly Bean, the PC file access mechanism has been changed. USB storage no longer involves unmounting the SD card on the phone, and then providing the PC raw USB mass storage access to the card. Instead, access is provided using a high level Media Transfer Protocol (also known as Windows Media PlaysForSure) which allows for your PC to access the SD card without rendering it unavailable to Android. This storage mode is automatically activated as soon as the phone is plugged into the PC; there is absolutely no reason to require the end user to activate the storage (as there is no reason to have to prevent Android from accessing the card at the same time that the PC is accessing it), thus it simply happens, no notification provided. However, this has some drawbacks - you cannot use your phone as a flash drive, you cannot use the SD card storage for running "portable applications", and you need to run at least Windows XP to use your phone's storage.
Look in "My Computer" - you'll find a media device named "SAMSUNG-SGH-I577". File access will work like certain models of MP3 players, especially those with Microsoft Windows Media "PlaysForSure" certification. Your phone will no longer receive a drive letter assignment, though.

Hi,
MTP and PTP are full of problems... so I want to have the old reliable USB Massive Storage (UMS) enabled in this phone, Is there any ROM with this feature?
I'm with stock and I would prefer not to unlock the boot loader unless I can get that feature with a ROM.
I tried this app with no success
I want any PC to detect my phone as a USB flashdrive containing only the sdcard files, not any partitions like system or data or such.
thanks

Nope. UMS is dead as far as Google is concerned.
what do you mean by that? I know some ICS ROMs with UMS (but for other phones) so it's no dead dead dead and doing a quick search there are some people using ums un Jelly bean
What I mean is, UMS support isn't the way google wants people to do things.
It's a kludge when google wants phone memory not be segmented for apps vs media and such.
I've found MTP works very well on this phone compared to others i've owned.
It's a partitioning issue on any phone that comes with ICS natively.
mmm may be I wasn't clear about that, sorry,
I only want any PC to detect my phone as a USB flashdrive containing only the sdcard files, not any partitions like system or data or such.
And we are saying it isn't going to happen. What trouble are you having with mtp? Maybe we can help.
Ok, thanks, my problem is the following
I have 3 windows machines and in all of them the following happened
> I connected the LGOG to the pc and selected the pc software option in the phone
> Installed the LG software
> The LG software Drive disappeared from "Computer" (as expected I suppose)
> The phone-drive never showed in Computer
> I unplugged the phone and plugged again and selected MTP
> The phone-drive never showed in Computer either
In one of the PCs I got an error while installing the MTP driver, don't know how to solve that, if I try to reinstall the LG software the LG software driver disappears
Also I can't copy files to my phone if I don´t have Administrative access to the PC... that's main the reason I want UMS
Uh oh.
So, if I understand correctly, I'm going to need to install CM in order to use my phone as a thumbdrive.
While I have no problems using MTP, the INSANELY SLOW TRANSFERS are basically going to force me to find another solution.
Great phone, but 2MB/sec on a standard USB 2.0 port just isn't working.
More research, it appears that I'll need to install an FTP server on my phone, or use a wireless data sharing app (sadly not possible in my case as my wireless network is firewall-external to my wired one).
I've got an Android based device that is detected by Windows, when I give it a driver it correctly shows in the System Manager.
However, none of the usual programs to root the device are detecting it.
What should the next course of action be to root a device that is not detected by these programs?
Thank you,
SR
Anyone??

have you switch on the usb debugging toggle?
Yes I have,
Windows detects the device as an exclamation, I've fed windows different drivers that allow the device to be detected as a Android Device, I can transfer files to the memory card on the device, however when it comes to trying to use a program such as Tasselhof - Root, or 1 click root the programs indicate it is not detected.
Would I be better off with Linux instead of Windows to try and attempt this?
Thanks you for your reply,
SR
My last attempt to reach out.
Am I better of in Linux?

Hiya.
Same issue. I have both a SGS2 and SGS3. Laptop has three USB ports and I have two cables.
I have installed the Samsing drivers and enabled debugging on both phones.
Odin simply will not see either phone, on either cable, in any USB port.
Platform is a HP 8460 Laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
So, er, help?
