Just in case this wasn't seen before, as I already commented on the thread mentrioned here, I'd thought to let people know that Webroot SecureAnywhere found the file installs com.teampassion.stunner.UsbMassStorage, which contains a variant of android.sms.fakeinst trojan!!!
Anyway, none of the solutions here worked, but I finally found two solutions that do under Jelly Bean 4.1.2:
1 - Multi Mount SD Card, the latest version supposedly does not require root, it uses a widget, some features require purchase of the pro version.
2 - SGS3 Easy UMS from right here, requires Root and BusyBox Installer and is freeware/donationware
In both cases, only the external SDCard is accessible. Although the internal memory also shows as a drive, it is NOT accessible by the PC.
To me, however, it finally permits me to do some real file system work and very speedy direct file transfers without date corruption like what happens using the MTP.

Thank you so much for this, przemcio510! After applying this, now when I plug in the USB cable the option to connect a USB mass storage device automatically pops up like it did with previous versions (like JB 4.2.1 even). Before this, nothing would work. I tried selecting the newly-repositioned option under Storage, click Options button, USB connection options, but every time I actually plugged in a USB cable it would automatically revert to the far-inferior media connection option.
I should add that you need to make sure USB Debugging is turned on first BEFORE entering this line of code.
As a note to others who are questioning the need for USB Mass Storage connectivity, besides the significant speed boost (and the fact that Windows actually treats it as a storage device, can give you a measurement of speed and progress, it acts just like a hard drive, etc.), I found there WERE problems with using MTP, primarily that Windows was unable to see all the actual data files in certain Android folders. I wanted to copy over some backups I did using clockworkmod to my home server, and Windows could not SEE half of them! Very strange.
btw I am running JellyBAM 6.5 (JB 4.2.2). This was my only real issue with that otherwise-magnificent ROM, but it sounds like it is some kind of JB 4.2.2 bug.

You would need to have a app that allows you access to superuser and that can input command scripts,
or you can simply download "terminal emulator" from the Playstore.
After this, type in exactly what is quoted above.
Note:
You need to have Root access, to check if you do, after you type in "su" into the terminal emulator, the sign "$" show switch to "#" on the following line after you entered the code.
This method works for some devices, but not other all other ones.
Hope this helps.

Is this a "permanent" fix or is it an operation that has to be performed each time? How is it reveresed? Thanks!

[Q] how to auto-mount SD card as mass storage on non-root ICS 4.0.3?

I need to see SGS2 internal flash storage and/or SD card as drives with letters (USB mass storage) automatically every time I connect the non-rooted phone to Windows7 PC.
With Android 2.3.x it just worked with "Auto Mount your SD card“ free application. But after upgrading to official ICS 4.0.3 it doesn't at all any more.
Maybe any alternative apps, or there's a trick how to do that with stock software?
Thanks!

Thanks, but looks like it requires rooting, which I would much prefer to avoid.
Maybe there is a way to avoid rooting?
I think if you don't like to root the SGS2 u can't do it.
There is another form of mounting the sd card:
Just activate it using terminal (available free on Android Market, now called Google Play).
You need to have the phone rooted. Open the terminal and write this:
> su (Superuser will ask for privileges. Say yes).
> setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb (PAY ATTENTION AT COMMAS)
Reboot and voilá!
Enjoy it!

This workaround works very well.
However, after applying Samsung Kies does not detect my phone anymore. I tried different settings for USB Debugging (on/off) without effect.
Is there a solution for this?

You can not read your phone memory without root access. That's what root is for. To read what's in the ROOT of your cell. That is, to read or edit what's in the phone memory of your phone.

Via PC we cannot access build in storage... coz usually build in storage is used to store apps and system folder
That's android fact unless your device has eMMC storage device and configured as internal SD storage(Like Galaxy Note)

Okay. Built in storage means phone meomory. That is, the root of your device.
Since you say that your device is rooted, you can download an app called Root Explorer (paid), or ES File Explorer (Free. Make sure you turn on root features from settings for this app), and using them, you can navigate and make changes to the files in the root of your phone.
Currently there isn't any way to navigate the phone memory files from pc, as you can do with sd card (as far as my knowledge goes). But you can pull files from the root of your phone to the pc using adb pull, make changes and push it back again using adb push. (search for that to know more).
Thanks,
Rick.

Workaround for ums working on cm10/jb roms

Hi,
I don't know how many u guys have figured it out this workaround yet, but I still see many asking questions to the dev's about when UMS is gonna be incorporated in CM10/AOKP builds...
I have accidently found this neat little trick that enables UMS on CM10/AOKP roms..
Till now I have tried and got it working succesfully on Fusions cm10 kangs and Task/Ktoonez AOKP builds , but I do believe it should work on other cm10/aokp roms too..
So steps are fairly simple and here it goes :
1. Download the UMS 1.0 apk which is used as a TPA by many as a replacement. Many of U might have it , but for those who don't : https://www.dropbox.com/s/8490g42b01255t9/USB Mass Storage for JB.apk
2. Install the app. Open it .. it will take few seconds to get SuperUser permission.. then connect the USB connector and a notication will popup with blue androbot.. touch it and it will turn green to ur UMS will be connected.. Ensure that both internal and external SD are connected and accessible (Imp).
3. Turn off UMS and reboot the phone... Once booted up uninstall the UMS app
Reboot the phone again and then try to connect to USB again.. This time you will get prompted like this : (See screenshot)
4. Now u connect to the PC via UMS , and as always bot turns green.. Voila u have UMS now !!!
I do know some of you might have already been using this , and I don't boast it being a great discovery.. just something worth sharing for the unaware..
Cheers !!!
I wonder where that feature went. It don't matter to me because you can still transfer files including video and music to your phones. Without having to do those steps.
I would also assume you would have to do those steps every time you flash a new ROM or updated your old one. But thanks for the info

Yes.. u can still transfer videos, music etc using MTP.... but in my case MTP was quite iffy... randomly throwing write errors and sometimes only copying partial files..
Also one more issue that I was facing with MTP was , with every new rom install, I was not able to pre-existing files on External SD .. although it showed certain space as full.. it didn't show the contents.
So I researched and finally got this working this way.. using UMS I never have any issues mentioned above.. Thus this solution maybe more beneficial for guys having this issue like me
And to your question - yes u do have to follow this step with every new ROM install..
I believe the reason for getting rid of UMS was to consolidate internal and external memory to a single "drive" and that's why MTP is used. I don't know if that's completely accurate but that was my understanding. But I agree, I'm no fant of MTP.

I have no idea why MTP is implemented instead of UMS and I think u may be right on the money for the reason behind this, but I do know this -
MTP is really pain in the ass. U can't copy two files seperately at one time. Hell u can't even delete one file while copying other. Sure it does pull up both drives under same roof, but for cm10 its quite buggy for less fortunate like me
I hear ya brother
With UMS I had no issues. Now when copying over my music it fails with certain tracks stating the device was disconnected. Only those files though. It even warns me before the transfer that certain media files might not be playable. I accept the warning but if one of my tracks plays, they all should. My whole collection was ripped to mp3 personally using the same codec settings for all.
Currently on the CM10 2012.09.24 nightly.

MTP allows the filesystem to be changed without unmounting it from the operating system. This allows phone apps and processes that use any resources on the volume to continue to use them. With UMS, the volume is unmounted and mounted via USB to the computer. Another 'feature' of MTP is that it doesn't have to be removed like UMS. Since UMS mounts as a USB volume and most operating systems implement some form of write-caching with normal volumes, even though a copy operation 'completes', it may be cached, and not actually have completed copying data.
In Windows, removing the device via the tray icon tells Windows to finish any operations it has pending, close open files, and unmount the filesystem. If you remove the device before doing these things, you CAN get corrupted data. From my experience, this rarely happened, and never with small files. Then you get that annoying dialog every time you reconnect the device that the volume needs scanning, blah, blah...

this is already implemented in cm10 you could simply just go to Settings > Storage > hit Menu > select either mtp, mass storage or ptp Connection. what this app do is just to activate the usb mass storage mode. It is already incorporated in cm10. cheers

Disclaimer: I have no knowledge of AOSP roms, or of the application in the OP. That being said...
File transfer behavior is governed by the system property /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config. This is a text file containing a single string. The settings are "mass_storage,adb" or "mtp,adb". Since this is a system file, it is necessary for the phone to be rooted, and then this file can be edited using a root file explorer. Change the text in the file to mtp,adb (without spaces), save the file, and reboot the phone. UMS, or USB Mass Storage is the first one. This is true for Samsung firmware.

You need root to do this... I probly should have mentioned that. Sorry. Getting root is easy now, there are a could threads on how to root with very easy step by step instructions. After you gain root, purchase root explorer from PlayStore (yes, you have to spend a couple $ but its worth it) and use that app to navigate and delete the file. You will likely use the app again, unless you switch to an iPhone. So it's worth the little bit of money.
I see autorun.iso, I assume that's what you're referring?

Check your usb debugging settings. you might need to either check that box or unchecked it. I can't help much more than that if you're using Windows, I'm a mac user. But that sounds like all you would need to do. Hope it helps.
Verizon installer
Okay here is a weird one (or maybe not). Started getting this when I first connected the S4 to PC via USB. Now when I connect my S3 I am getting the same popup. S3 is rooted never had this message.
I am thinking this is somehow embedded into the new Samsung USB drivers. When the phone is plugged in, some form of check reveals a VZW phone which triggers the installer????
Did anyone figure this out? I was able to stop the Verizon Installer Pop up by renaming the autorun.iso, but there is still a 30 second delay before I get access the the phones internal and external memory.

I think I figured it out. I'm still on original MDK build. I don't know if that changes anything.
1. autorun.iso removed (may not be necessary, but mine is gone)
2. enable hidden menus (step 2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303905
3. enter dialer code *#0808#
4. select MTP+ADB
5. reboot (may not be necessary)
My phone originally had nothing selected. I don't know how to go back to that unselected mode. I can't guarantee anything. It's working for me. My phone now connects in MTP mode within a second or two of connection (unless the phone is in the middle of a reboot, then that has to complete first.)

My autorun.iso file was in /system/etc I renamed it. Changing the dialer code *#0808# to MTP works until I reboot. Same thing with dialer code *#7284#. I edited a file in /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu "OFF" changed to "ON" all in capital letters This survives a reboot.
But MTP doesn't

I'm on MK2 rooted and I have the same problem with the setting not surviving a reboot. Anyone have any other ideas?
Removing the file should work, if it's giving you a delay then my guess is either your computer or the device is trying to find the file. Back on my s3 and dna rom I had only removed the file and vzw installer didn't show up

Removing the file does not solve the problem, it still connects as installer for a while before connecting as media device. It's not a huge problem, just annoying! I'm curious if everyone has this problem, or if it's just a few of us??

I have the same issue. I've tried looking through/changing settings in build.prop, default.prop and init.usb.rc with no luck. I need to do a little more searching to better understand init.usb.rc as a lot of the settings are jibberish to me.

I think I figured it out. I'm still on original MDK build. I don't know if that changes anything.
1. autorun.iso removed (may not be necessary, but mine is gone)
2. enable hidden menus (step 2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303905
3. enter dialer code *#0808#
4. select MTP+ADB
5. reboot (may not be necessary)
My phone originally had nothing selected. I don't know how to go back to that unselected mode. I can't guarantee anything. It's working for me. My phone now connects in MTP mode within a second or two of connection (unless the phone is in the middle of a reboot, then that has to complete first.)

Running the Casual-gnote2 I get this: file/ Open Casual Script (go to location, click on the downloaded Casual-gnote2.jar) it opens and gives me this
Description for /home/wade/Downloads/CASUAL-GNOTE2-Hidden Menus.jar
File Not Found Error: /home/wade/Downloads/CASUAL-GNOTE2-Hidden Menus.jar.txt
Delete this debug line in MenuItemOpenScriptActionPerformed()
If I just open Casual-gnote2 and click DO IT I get this: error: device offlineerror: device offline
In both cases the Link Status = Device Connected

[Q] SDCard, Camera App, No external storage available

I am new to the Android world. I need some help, and while I have searched - I can't find an answer to this issue.
I have root access on my A13 MID tablet. When I insert an SDCard I see the 'mounted' notification, and in settings the sdcard displays under 'internal storage' along with the built-in system storage. (There is nothing in settings that says 'external storage'?)
When I open the camera app, or a media player app, I get an error: 'No external storage available' and the camera quits when I click ok.
Previously the camera worked, saving to built-in storage... but now I get this error with the sdcard in or out.
There is a file browser app that allows me to select the sdcard, and it works to browse the file system - so I think that the device is actually able to read the card.
What I am wondering about is if I can add/adjust mount points, or folder permissions to work around this?

Hi, Try this:
Method 1: (if you dont want to reboot your phone)
- kill/force close the camera and gallery in task viewer
Method 2:
- Hold power button upto 10-15seconds to reboot
Method 3:
Shutdown your phone then remove battery, insert again then boot.
Goodluck!

I've actually already done this. I force quit the apps, and I've also rebooted it. This had no effect. Thanks for your help!

ArikaSalaf,
Try to reflash to a factory ROM? I don't have an image for this tablet -- and my understanding is that the allwinner a13 tablets are each a bit different -- I may have to try many many ROMs I can find on google, and then I may never find one that works with the hardware.
I have cleared the app cache. I've gone into the recovery mode and cleared the cache. And I've gone into recovery mode and restored factory settings. None of these helped.
After restoring factory settings I still have root and su access - so that only deletes apps and settings, but does not fix the problem with the SDCard.
Thanks for the help,
-Matt
I am wondering if re-flashing the ROM is the consensus here? I am willing to try that, but I was hoping to do some troubleshooting. Thanks all.

Hi, I am not sure if re-flashing the ROM helps. I have exactly the same problem with my phone Huawei Honor and nothing helps, except tryning another ROM.
Did you get your tab to work.? i have the same issue. Tried to flash my SGS2 with 4.4.4 AOSB rom. i have exactly the same issue as you. "No external storage available."
I tried these in terminal emulator but no luck for me. you might get some help with this.
Code:
su
echo mkdir /storage/sdcard0 > /data/local/userinit.sh
chmod 700 /data/local/userinit.sh
reboot
Found this here.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2112626
If you found a different solution pls share it here.
