solution ??

Have you tried to transfer via the android debug bridge (ADB) as an alternative?
Furthermore I'm not sure about the format of your filesystem but if it's FAT/FAT32 it cannot handle files larger than 4GB … If this is the case I would suggest that maybe you look into a way of splitting the file down to smaller pieces

My HD partition is NTFS, I'm not sure about my phone Internal Storage Partition, I'm bit sure it should be ext2/ext3
btw let me try adb method, btw I'm sending a RAR File :good:

My PC running windows7 mounts the Transformer Prime just fine and I can access its internal storage without Issue.
At work, we are forced to use Macs running OSX lion 10.72, however my Prime does not mount on the Mac's for some reason, and I cannot see the internal storage on the Mac's.
Did anyone else try mounting the TP internal storage on a Mac running 10.72?
Does it work for you? Does the prime use a standard EXT3 or NTFS partition?
Is it formatted in such a way that Mac's don't recognize or is something wrong?
The mac can however be accessed wirelessly by enabling SMB file sharing for windows.
File Manager HD now see's the mac just the same. I just can't seem to mount the TP storage with a physical connection to a MAC over usb... hmm
You need Android File Transfer installed on your Mac.

Hey Thanks!!!! I had NO IDEA I needed to install this for USB over OSX- It works great now over USB.. I can mount all internal storage to the Mac Via USB!

Thanks! - I will check this one out for sure-
so far, I have been using WiFi File Explorer pro v1.5x to transfer files wirelessly via HTTP and port 8000- and it has worked great...
I am planning to use wireless for most of my file transfers from PC's to the tablet, but I still mentally needed to know it works via USB hardwired.
Thanks for the tips!

Still want to mount as drive...
I like the File Transfer Manager on OSX, but I'd still like to mount it as a drive so I can create image backups of the internal storage without buying another 32 GB SD card...
Thoughts?

you can't mount it as a drive as it uses MTP not USB mass storage
if i recall the the way ICS works is the internal storage is mounted as MTP however external storage such as microsd is mounted via USB Mass Storage...thats the reason that the GNex has no usb mass storage support and only mtp, since the gnex has no external memory slot.

Ah. Not familiar with MTP. I just got this thing. Android file transfer doesn't always stay connected. It freezes on me on my Mac sometimes. When I try to start over and just rewrite over files I copied, it will give me **** about not being able to copy a file and drop off. Doesn't seem reliable. Could be the tablet though.
MTP can only transfer one file at a time which is why many people don't like it, to only advantage it has is that it transfers files faster but I would much rather have the ability to transfer more than transfer slightly faster

I'm not sure this is possible, but could you use an FTP client to send files to the tablet like FileZilla? Would that be faster / more reliable on a local network connection?

It's possible. You would need to install an FTP server on your tablet. There appear to be a number available on the market.
Hi all !!
As i know, Xperia S has a build-in memory. I had unlock bootloader and install the ka room. In this room has a SD card mount feature.
Using this app to connect my phone to PC, my PC will recognize my phone as a USB.
The problem is i can not copy any file more than 4GB to my phone. Because of the partition is as FAT32, not NTFS.
So how can i copy a large file (more than 4GB) to my phone ????
You'll have to reformat the partition or split the file.
It's a known limitation of FAT32.
Why do you need a thread for this?
You can try format to NTFS, but your device can become buggy
Use a external hdd that is formatted in ntfs! With a usb otg (on the go) adapter ofc...

err.. i dont think the phone cant read ntfs (YET )
i've to make two partitions in my 16 gB UFD, so the phone can recognize it. i think the ability to read ntfs partition is done in the kernel, and none of the kernel for SXS done this (YET )
so: use hjsplit (or any archiver) if it's only for storage... or re-encode it if it's a video player.
i tried mounting ext sdcard in mounts/storage but the disk drive did not pop up on my mac's desktop. Does the S3 allow you to toggle USB in recovery? I think it would be a very important feature, especially if you can only boot into recovery.

You do not have a USB mount option in sgs3..you have a mtp transfer protocol..look for devices under the attached devices option in your pc ..

im not too fond about the mtp/ptp feature on the s3. atleast allow the disk drive feature in recovery. if recovery was the only option after a bad rom flash. for example bootloop, u can put in a new rom flash file into the sdcard thru recovery.

Or you can just adb push it through recovery, just as easy!

The feature not being there is not based on some sort of sadism but technological constraints.
The internal storage is one big block, so you'd mount access to the phone's system partition too. However that is only a minor problem compared to the issue that the phone uses the Linux-filesystem EXT4 which neither OsX/BSD nor Windows are capable to access.
For the external storage, it's possible if the corresponding features exist in the kernel, Easy UMS is such an application.
I reckon you can do it manually though the based shell commands (I published them somewhere here, Easy UMS links to the thread)
if you want mass storage in recovery.
Does anyone else have this problem? I have pretty much given up on trying to transfer files from my pc to my phone while running Linux.
I would guesstimate, 85% of the time, the transfered file gets corrupted. It happens on different phones and different Linux distros.
I would think the two would work well together since they both run on a Linux kernel.
Perhaps someone here knows a solution? Google gives me nothing. Hopefully it's not just me.
Oh and Gnome-Shell got totally borked by some recent updates. Ugg.

you transferred your files using adb or mount it then copy?
Mount then transfer via gui.

hmm....... weird. it works fine for me(ubuntu 11.10, and ubuntu 12.04). Maybe you can try to use adb push and see whether there's any corruptions in the file or not?
Have you tried ftp transfer?

I'll try those methods but was hoping to uncover why this happens.
Guess I'll just keep firing up virtual box to do file transfers. Would love to dump Windows altogether.
If not for occasional gaming, and quirks like this, Windows would be out the window.

It should be okay actually, not sure why the file corrupts. I had tried to copy some files from my linux partition to my windows partition and my windows partition is gone(MFT corrupted) but I do get that because my windows partition is using NTFS while the linux partition is on EXT4. But in your case, both of it should be EXT3/EXT4 so I don't kinda get it as well lol.
btw, try to use rsync and see if it works
I use QtADB with a variety of devices on Ubuntu and mint and have never had an issue with corruption. But then I don't have issues writing to windoze partitions either, I'd make sure all the correct file system drivers are installed.

No issues writing to other partitions or ntfs partitions.
Maybe I need a fat32 driver. I dunno. I use Mint 13.

it doesn't happen always. Try to write a big file to a ntfs partition then you'll get it
Incorrect. I transfer files greater than 2GB to my ntfs partition from my ext4 quite often. Movies which I then transfer to phone after booting into winblows.
Never a single corruption transferring on hard disk.

My "main" sd card partition is fat32, then a small ext4 partition that link2sd uses.
However, I can create a bootable, live usb stick in Mint using gnome usb creator without a hitch. That usb drive is fat32 to be compatible with pc bios.
So, it pretty much has to be with the way Linux interacts with Android.

But I don't have a problem, ok I rarely transfer files larger than 2gb, i suggest the problem is with your setup

I haven't been able to properly manage my Android phone ever since the move to MTP. I am currently out of space on my SGS3 and can't figure out what is eating up the space. On a normal directory in Windows I would use a utility like WinDirStat, but to my knowledge you can't use any such utilities on an MTP device.
How can I tell where the space is being used?
Is it possible to add an SD card to the "MTP pool"?
Thanks guy,
Tynen
I know it's an old thread, but I have this exact same problem so I'm bumping to see if anybody has any answer
You can do this using a file explorer app directly on the device. There are hidden folders (starts with a dot) which don't show up with MTP (I think they don't, not sure). These might be taking space. You can view them with a file explorer app. Also, if you have a custom recovery, you can mount the SD card as USB Mass Storage on your computer.
