Hi,
I'm planning to get a Galaxy S3 soon. I love everything about it but im confused about one thing. Thats the USB mass storage option. I currently use an Xperia Arc S. So when i plug my Arc S to my Laptop, the SD Card shows up and i can put my files in and out of the phone. the problem is there is no mass storage option on the galaxy s3 . Suppose, you want to put in Mp3 files onto your new GS3.Im not saying just mp3 files im saying all types of files in general. How do i put it in?I'm new to the whole MTP/PTP thing. and i dont understand it much. Could you please tell me like, how to transfer a file from your Windows pc/laptop onto your galaxy s3? I've had a hard time with this so If you make a vid on this it will gladly help me out. Simple English please. i'm a noob.
PLEASE help me.
Thanks
hopefully this will clear up my confusions.

plugin the S3 and you will have it as normal drive (mass storage) on your PC. Same process. You will have access to your internal as well as external SDcard
Just don't install Kies and you're good to go

Why do you say that? I was planning to root it but you need Kies to root using the ODIN method.

I thought the galaxy s3 had no mass storage option? Sorry for being a noob :| Just a bit confused.
and, i shouldnt be worried about this, right?
You can add/delete files from your pc as you normally do using explorer.

Odin & KIES are not playing well together. What you need are the Samsung USB drivers, that is all.

In fact, it is very important for all Android users backing up their phone to computer, so that you can keep and restore all Android data from computer whenever the they are deleted/lost or gone due to formatting SD card, deleting accidentally, resetting to factory data, rooting phone, etc.
Okay, how can we backup and restore Android to computer?
Android to PC Transfer makes it easy, which provides you the easiest way to backup contacts, text messages, calendar, Call logs, playlists info, apps, photos, music and videos from Android device fast.

If u root and have a custom recovery, u can backup using a nandroid backup and copy it to ur computer.

I am unable to transfer Music and photos on my S3 to micro sd card.
Any ideas or app to it??? Usual apps are not working!
connect your device to the pc via usb.
wait a minute for the drivers to install
go to "my computer" and open GT-i9300->SDCARD
create a folder "media" and put those files there

When you connect your phone to the computer you get Media Player but in Media Player you will find EXT SDCARD and Phone memory
Install easy UMS apk from themes section, run the app now it will mount your external sd as usb mass storage, now you can recover it. There is no way to mount your internal sd

There is an app called undelete try that.
Not going to work and it's not samsung's fault. Android has moved away from UMS and is strictly using MTP.
And none of the undelete apps in the market work on mtp devices so I wouldn't waste your time.

I've used this with success for recovering files from my phone, not tried it on my tab but can't see why it wouldn't work for you.

Swyped from my finger to your face, on my Samsung Galaxy Note.
Try the undelete option from the tuneup utilities software with the tab mounted via cwm.
I've recovered some files from a USB pen drive some months back.
might help

One good way to recover deleted files from Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 is to use an android data recovery software, see this guide: How to recover files from Samsung galaxy tab
Good luck.

I'm going to say that it can't be done. Deleting a file on android means it's gone forever. No recycling bin, no seccond chances. Sorry man. In the future do an automatic backup to Google Drive, then at least your pictures and videos will be safe.
Hello, I am a new poster but have been reading these forums for a couple of months. I have a Droid DNA and am trying to edit my home screen using videos from mycolorscreen on youtube, but I'm having some trouble trying to access my internal storage. I plug my phone with the usb into my macbook, and it shows the device as a cd-rom, and then I click on it and just shows a few random files/ documents that have nothing to do with internal storage. This is what it looks like when I click on it on my macbook (see picture). How am I able to get my device to allow me to access internal storage? thanks
someone please help!

You need android file transfer. Unfortunately, it's kind of clunky, but it gets the job done. http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
It's possible to get MTP to work natively in OS X via macports, but I'm not sure how well it works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355913

Nevermind, Airdroid does not allow you to upload anything under "system"! and Android File transfer only does SD card also! any other ideas?? I've been searching google all day for this!

Ive read you can put files for new screen themes into the root of the SD card. I know the root is the main file of the SD card (not in a sub folder) but I don't know any programs that will allow me to put these files directly on the sd card without making a sub folder! can anyone help or know info about this?

All of the methods posted in this thread will let you put files in the root of your sdcard.
My android file transfer wont bring my to the root of my storage, only where my data is, for CM 10.1 its the storage/emulated/0. Ive always just transfered everything there then to the next place and vice versa. Dont know how helpful this is but oh well. When I had my Tbolt plugging it in would allow me to get to the root automatically but trying to do anything with the DNA and Mac is a serious pain.
Hello and Happy Holidays everyone.
This is a general question preferably a quick thread too. Im planning on rooting my GS3 4.3 later tonight in hopes of being able to run a data recovery on the INTERNAL storage (lost some pictures, got dropbox running now, wont happen again). If I root, Is it pretty much a guarantee that ill be able to mount the drive on either OSX or Win 7 after that? Via app or just basic connection?
Thanks,
Seyy

U can run them without usb mass storage. Install samsung kies and it will install the drivers needed. U can't even have usb mass storage for internel memory.

Well when a new update comes out i always back up and then do a factory data reset. Just this time forgot to back up some photos of a BPL soccer match I went too. Just some photos that were on the internal drive. I still plan on doing a root and then attempting a data recovery via either windows software or Play app.
