I know this isn't the Skyrocket forum... but hoping a knowledgeable developer might know the answer. I have an OG-GS2 and just picked up a i727-Skyrocket phone. Both phones are rooted and are using the stock kernel. Using a USB connector (link below), I can quickly plug in the adapter to the OG-GS2 and it recognizes my Sandisk flash drive... and can easily transfer files using Root Explorer. However, on the Skyrocket, it cannot read the flash drive. Can the OG-GS2 read NTFS while the Skyrocket cannot? Not sure why one stock kernel would recognize flash drive while the other would not. Thx.

bumping for a lil' help... more info on the issue:
Here's the thing... I have 2 of those cables.. both work fine with the i777 OG-GS2 (once connected, the "USB Device Connected" icon in pull-down appears and stays so you can disconnect later). However, on the i727-SR, when I connect the Sandisk flash drive (8Gb), it says "USB Device Connected"... "Media Scanning Completed", but the USB icon does not appear in pull down. When I open files with Root Explorer, I can see /sdcard/usbstorage/SDA folder, but no files in the folder. On the flash drive I have 162mb used and 7.31 GB free; but when in the SR /sdcard/usbstorage/SDA folder it reads "0k used, 392.22mb Free". Can it be a hardware on the SR or something inherently different in the SR kernel vs the OG-Gs2 kernel?
I am running into the same issue so wanted to bump to see if anyone else had this problem.
I can't even get any USB recognition when I plug in my USB OTG cable (+ thumb drive) into my sky rocket.
Does it not support it?
Hate to state the obvious but doesn't look like it. The only thing I can recommend is reformatting the flash drive with a fat32 filesystem.
Since the ogsgsii, our phone, doesn't have the issue the skyrocket does, there's no way for any of us to trouble shoot issues like what you're having. Try sending a message to silver03wrx or pirateghost. They seem to be some of the biggest helps you have on the skyrocket forums.

Thanks for the response. I'll look around in the skyrocket forums.
Love my phone, but I can't get it to mount to my pc. Before the latest update I was able to use easy tether and access my sd card to transfer files. After the update neither the PC nor the phone do anything when plugged in, other than charge the phone. I've only found one computer that I can mount my phone to. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? I've tried multiple USB cords and even HTC's support line. They seem to think Verizon's media manager is to blame, but I think it would happen with all of us if that were true.
BTW phone is completely stock.
I have the same issue.

Not Quite The Same
My computer doesn't recognize my phone at all. My DINC worked fine on every computer I tried it on, too bad I can't get used to the smaller screen and the 3G speeds again.
What does your computer say under device manager? Might have to update drivers, or delete them and reinstall them.

Just one entry has a problem, but my coworkers Samsung Captivate works in this PC. The other computer doesn't have any issues in Device Manager. When I try to update it the Hardware Update Wizard says that it could not find a better match for my hardware. I can't post the image yet, 8 more posts to go.

I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the HTC drivers. You may also try a different USB port, if you haven't already.

Yeah I think it has to do with the Verizon bloat. My Dad's work computer won't see his phone but it sees mine just fine. We both have Rezounds, but mine obviously isn't stock like his.
Tempted to hard reset
I'm so fed up with this that I am tempted to let Verizon do a factory reset. Either it works or they'll send a refurbished phone and hopefully that will one will work. Either way one way or another its going to cost them man hours or phones. I'm fed up with the bloat and the problems it causes.
I'm posting from my Windows 7 i7 gaming rig. My Rezy is usb connected to my rig. I can navigate both my internal memory file system as well as my SD card file system from Win7.
My Rezy is locked and stock, btw. I love this phone.
Ok so I just upgraded yesterday from the HTC inspire and I must say I'm liking the S3. Except for one thing, no usb mass storage mode? Duuuwwwhhhaaaatttt??? This is awful...just awful.. I work night shifts and play minecraft a lot at work
D) and alwayed used my inspire for transfering the save data on my work computer to my personal desktop at home... I NEED this FIXED.!! I have the 16GB sd card I pulled out of my inspire shoved in the S3's ext-sd slot and would love to know how to use it as a usb mass storage like I did on my inspire.. I have tried the easy ums app and it doesn't work :/ so here I am, humbly asking for help from you geniuses...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Not sure if this is what you're asking but here goes...
I just started using the S3 as well, upgraded from an S2 T989 (T-mobile)
On the S2, when I connect to the USB port, I can "turn on" usb mass storage mode to connect to the PC and I'm not seeing that option here on the S3.
However, when I connect the phone to my PC, I get the following options:
- Media device (MTP): automatically checked
- Camera (PTP)
And when I check on "camera (PTP)", my PC would recognize the phone as SGH-T999. And when I click on it, I would have two options:
- Card (External SD)
- Phone (Internal SD)
From here, I can just copy and paste whatever from PC to SD card and vice versa.

Well let me start with this then..on my inspire, I could plug it up to any computer and it would show up as a disk drive and I could transfer baby file back and forth at my will.
Now that I have my S3, I've realised that they've done any with usb mass storage and adopted mtp. Which doesn't work for me. I get a message 'cannot copy "file name" the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.'
I can also connect through ptp and it will transfer most files, but not all. It will get to a certain point it gives me the good ole 'cannot copy "file name" the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.' message.
So overall, my question is simply this, is there a way to enable usb mass storage for the external sd card on my sgs3? Either by fixing easy ums to work for a 1747 or by installing another app that I don't know about.
Btw, my s3 is rooted, running stock Rom and stock kernel, stock everything. I've installed busybox as well.

I'm hoping someone can get this ported over for the US version. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711009
What operating system are you running? I never have any issues using MTP on Windows 7.

Well add me to the list of: MTP sucks! This is pretty awful, I mean if there is a work-around fine, but we shouldn't HAVE TO work around just to get Mass Storage support.
As of now we are stuck with MPT.
Works ok though I guess, I can move files back and forth. You can also try using a wifi explorer if your on the same network.

Dont stress out too much, I see that your new here, stick around for a while and see what the devs here can do with these phone. Its amazing the stuff the create for us... 99% of the time for FREE! Its really a great place, its just not very newb friendly. Ive been here this long and Im still a newb (compared to other forums I belong to...).
But yea, stay for a while and watch the magic happen (Geez, that should be our tag line... )

Haha that is a pretty good tagline lol I guess I'll just have to follow your advice and stay patient for a little while... I just hope there is someone actually working on this fix for the 1747.. if I knew of them, I would be more than willing to donate for the cause.

Alrighty!! I've done some snooping around and found this!!!:
Here's a thread for the AT&T S3 on Mass Storage, requires some tinkering though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768752&highlight=mass+storage
So basically if you follow all the instructions, your 1747 will be able to mount its external sd card as a usb mass storage. Tried it myself!!! Amazing!!! Haha!!! Life is good once again...
In addition to the above steps, I also had to do something else. I'm running windows 7, but I don't see why it would be any different for any other windows, and after I installed gscript I had to go to device manager in windows, find your phone (should be under portable devices) and then right clicked and updated driver software. After that finished, the pc had to reboot. After reboot, I ran the scripts in gscript... Aaannnndddd... BAM.! MAGIC.!
I hope this helps those who are frustrated with their 1747 as well... this is a temp fix until a better one comes out... buuuuttt... cheers

also, remember to unmount your phone from windows before running the mtp script. I'm not sure what will happen if you don't, but let's not try to find out, right?

I'm not using the I747 (I take it thats the T Mobile branded version), Im in fact using the SCH-I535, Verizon version. Due note that the phone does contain GSM radios so I am able to use it on T for voice (perfect!) and edge data (expected but better then nothing)...
I'm assuming SMS & MMS work as well, albeit untested.

Sgh-1747 is AT&T. T-mobile S3 is sgh-t999 I believe.. and the Verizon version has gsm radios as well as cdma.? That's badapple lol I wonder if that is the same for the 1747 but vice versa?

Also, i just ran into this problem... the fix i mentioned above worked on my work computer but now that im home and i tried it..it didnt work.. :/
BUT!! i figured out the problem. The difference between my work and home computer? Kies... idk if it was that progam itself or just the drivers that came along with it but regardless i uninstalled kies and all the drivers associated with it. After that i plugged in my phone, ran the "mount" script and voila. MAGIC ONCE AGAIN!
Just thought i would inform the masses on what ive done so far to fix this problem
There is another option....
Get yourself a little adapter:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0027YYMU6/
Then you can plug any USB drive directly into that.. then the adapter into the phone.
Your phone will see it as a normal USB Drive... you can then use any filemanager to transfer files from the phones SD to that USB drive... Unplug the USB, pop it into a computer and you're all set.
I'll admit it's a bit kludgy, but until storage mode becomes available, you can use this on OS's that won't work properly with the existing MTP.
NOTE: Might want to buy a FEW adapters... i bought 1, worked great.. friend bought 2 more.. neither worked.. same brand etc... I have 2 more on the way just in case..but for .79 plus free shipping no reason not to buy half a dozen hehe

Yea, that would work... but im more on the side of "my phone should do this" lol dont know why they completely removed usb mass storage... they shouldve at least made it optional in the settings or something, ya know? those little adapters would work but idk how id feel about having to carry around an adapter just so i can transfer files..
Heres a scenerio:
Say my friend calls me up and wants a file that i have on my computer, so i use that adapter and transfer it to my phone, go to his house only to realize i accidentally left the adapter stuck in my computer at home :/ thats a pain in the you know what lol
Just a thought haha

The WHY actually is documented around here somewhere... the short version is, with the way the OS is written, mounting the card as USB storage makes it unavailable to the system. Since most of the newer Androids OS use the SD card more heavily (such as A2SD type stuff) it would render applications 'broken' whenever the USB was plugged in.
That's the official story.. I'm not sure I buy it myself as I've seen apps that let you use the SD card on my original EVO AND have USB mode enabled just fine.. granted transfer rates sucked, and occassionally a file would get corrupted, but it worked 99% of the time. I don't know what 'tricks' those apps used to get it to work, but I don't see why Google couldn't use those same tricks directly in the OS.
Another option btw.. is Wifi Explorer Pro. If you're PC is on the same WiFi network, you can run the app then go to a webpage on your PC to upload/download files as needed. It's not as fast as a cable.. but it does work pretty well and is simple to use.
Title says it all. I can't download any large apps, download from the browser. I can sideload my apps straight from google drive. I need a physical SD card to download files from the internet, and to download large apps, like VOEZ. Moving on, there is another issue I have with my unit. USB. I plugged it into my computer many times, and it just never finds it. I was once able to look at the files on the device with ADB enabled, but when I opened up a Windows VM (I run Ubuntu) and fired up Kingroot but could not find it, so I unplugged, and plugged it in again, only to lose the data connection over USB, and only charged from then afterwards. After this, I knew that the USB port was perfectly OK, so there was no damage or any issue to the port itself. When I had this phone as my sole daily driver before I had switched to my iPhone, it was neglected heavily (by me) because of these abhorrent issues that drove me insane. I now want to put some life back into this thing by rooting it, which was my goal from day 1 when I had gotten it, but these issues made such practically impossible. So, with the ramble out of the way, can someone find a way to fix this this internal storage and USB issue? I'd love to give it a chance once again. Oh, and I got this phone for free from a "government lifeline" program, which has its Androids completely restricted in a way where rooting is hard to achieve, but possible.
Model #: PG86100
Before this phone, or even my 6 Plus, I had a N5, which now has a broken display/speaker ZIF connector on the mainboard. I just wanted to point out that this was not my first android, and would really love to relive the days that I had with my N5 before it died.
