First off, thanks guys for figuring out how to root the GP4.2. It is my first android anything after finally passing on my itouch to someone else.
I am using PCLinuxOS with gnome and my only hangup so far is trying to get the GP42 recognized as a USB MS device. Currently I am getting around this by WiFi and SFTP to the device but I would really prefer faster USB cable connections.
Plugging in the USB cable starts charging but I never get the USB MASS STORAGE app popup like I do in WinXP.
I looked on the forums here and can not find much info on the GP4.2.
Is there a toggle app for the USB MS mode that will run on this player or something built in?

Go to Settings -> Wireless and network -> USB settings
Choose Mass storange
Now connect to your computer using your cable. After few seconds there will be a button on the screen, press it, now your computer should see the device's internal (and external, if exists) sd card as a normal usb flash drive.
Not quite that easy
The problem is that I am using Linux and the above only works in Windows with the Samsung Driver installed.
Linux is not triggering the popuup! I was asking if there is a way to manually trigger that very popup, because I have those settings already and it works in XP.
Perhaps there is a Call or command I can do from a shortcut or the commandline in terminal (I have busybox and a Terminal emulator on my Player).
WiFi is just SOOOOO slow!

You plug it into the USB port.
be sure to thank me

dose not work
no Reaction on computer.
Make sure you set USB mode to something other than 'none' in the status tray... You won't need an SD card, but Media Sync/Motorola mode might not work since they most likely were made for Windows. Although Windows Media Sync (or w/e its called) might make it an MTP device (Or is that other one?). Haven't Used Ubuntu in a long time since it started to suck.
MY buddy broke his screen and screen digitizer on his G2 and really needs his notes form the phone. The phones boots and I can see the desktop with the HDMi out put the screen does not respond to touch commands. Anyone know of a way to enable USB debugging without the touch screen or retrieve his notes.
My thoughts are if I enable debugging I can remote into the phone and get the info he needs,
Thanks
You could always use a mouse with an OTG USB cable. Plug and play. Also a Bluetooth mouse would work if you can get it enabled!

Yes, if its on 2.3.4 (UKH7) and not 2.3.6 (the latest update UKK6). HID (human interface devices) are apparently broken on the new update...

Got adapter in today and I was able to get USB debugging enable but its not popping up in adb server for me. Anyone have a guess why? I have my own G2 and I can see it on adb any guess why his is not coming up?
Restart the adb service after you plug in the device (kill adb.exe, plug in, run adb) and theres a command to list devices. (adb devices)

my linux mint 11 computer, i cannot transfer files? It will read the note, but all the file folders are numbers and you dont know whats what!
my atrix worked perfect on it!
I just tried on my Mint 12 and saw the same thing. It gives the option for both SD cards: USB and micro, but the folders are incorrectly named (as numbers) and they have no contents in them.
Everything works flawlessly on Windows 7 though. So I will stick with that for now

Do you have USB debugging turned on?
of course.... its weird. i have win7 on my netbook, but i dont have wireless where i am at. i am mostly on my linux computer, so its a pain downloading from one, flashdrive to win7, then to phone.
Try going into settings -> wireless and network -> USB utilities and choose USB mass storage, then connect your phone to the computer.

+1 Was just about to recommend the same, as the Note is default to MTP mode.

if i do this, it turns USB debugging off, then i have to connect to the computer....
AND YES!!!! it works!!!!
and there is always a but! But why do i have to this EVERYTIME?? my atrix i could connect and bam, it was on my mint comp. .. and now when i am done, i have to remember to turn USB debugging back on, or run into why wont this work on my win7 pc........ we need a popup or a dropdown from the taskbar when connected to a computer as to what you would like to do.
Oh wow. I had no idea this even existed..that would make sense. I was wondering why it wouldn't go into Mass Storage mode when I plugged in.
Sorry coming from an HTC Inspire.

So I got my SGS3 yesterday and noticed that the Android File Transfer app won't work, which used to work well when I owned a Galaxy Nexus. I tried it on 2 different Macs and it won't work on neither. The app does not recognize the phone being connected.
When I connected it on windows (bootcamp, same Mac) it was recognized, so it's not a hardware fail, it's a software bug.
My Q is, has anybody successfully managed to use the Android File Transfer app together with a Galaxy S3.
Thx, all the help greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
I just tried setting the USB Connection mode to Camera (PTP) and Android File Transfer now sees my phone. Everything is fine.
But, DAMN YOU SAMSUNG, code more carefully!
Thanks! This helped me out as well! Was worried something was wrong with my new phone .
enabling camera/PTP mode for usb connection
Hi, I am struggling with this problem of AFT not working with samsung S3. Could you elaborate on how and where to make this change in USB setting - is it on the camera or macbook pro?

On your phone, when connected to the AFP program on your mac, you'll see a USB symbol in the notification area. Pull it down and you'll see it says something like 'Connected as media device' and it'll give you options underneath that to change it. Select that and you'll get to a settings page which will allow you to set your phone as a media device ((MTP) or as a camera (PTP) - do the latter and it should work fine.
I have to say, I love this phone but am not overly enamoured with the mac syncing aspect of it. Most apps in the store are flaky at best or don't work at all, TBH. Using the above method, I've managed to get my media over to the phone by dragging/dropping from iTunes and iPhoto.
Problem is, I still can't find a way for my computer to - reliably - see my phone as a camera when I plug it in e.g. invisible to iPhoto and Image capture.
If you find a way around my problem, please post it up. HTH.
get an app called airdroid (xfer via browser) or file expert & use a FTP program to transfer files from your Mac to the S3
I was going to say that it was another way that Apple is trying to boycot Samsung's phones along with all the suing going on lol.

Thanks for that. Had a look at Airdroid and it seems really slick. Pity though, as it has issues with external storage.
Never mind, I'm dragging/dropping stuff from iPhoto/iTunes to folders which I the keep in sync with CheetahSync. It's all a bit inelegant, but it does the job for now.
hey guys, i'm having an issue with the file transfer. Did what the OP stated above and I can see both internal memory and SD, but when i tried to drag and drop from Finder it is giving me an error, saying my screen is locked (even when it isn't) and asking me to reconnect. anyone else have this problem? for now i'm transferring using File Explorer but its a pain in the ass. thanks!
EDIT: really weird, first file i tried was an mp3 and it kept giving me an error, now i'm moving an avi and looks like its working. apologies
Still having trouble
I'm having serious trouble with AFT and tried what's been suggested here but it's still not working for me.
I've installed AFT on my MacBook (OS X Lion).
All that happens is in all tries is that when I plug in the S3, AFT simply says:
"Could not connect to device
Try reconnecting or restarting your device"
I tried both with no luck. I tried it with selecting Camera (PTP) mode and then with Media device (MTP) mode. No luck. I tried both with and without "USB debugging" selected. No luck. I tried reinstalling AFT. No luck. Restarting my MacBook. No luck.
Any ideas?
Don't connect it its mtp connect it as a camera

Just a heads up. Installing AFT on my macbook air caused my usb to Ethernet dongles to stop working. AFT had to be removed to fix them. Applecare are aware and IIRC blame Google.

You're right as it doesn't seem to recognise the S3 at all when on MTP but AFT starts up each time I select PTP (i.e. my Mac recognises it when in the Camera mode) but I just end up getting the "Could not connect to device, Try reconnecting or restarting your device" message.
Strangely enough AFT needs the phone to be in camera mode to work.
But KIES for OSX needs the phone to be in MTP mode. I couldnt get wireless kies to work (but didnt try all that hard either)
well we've found another reason never to buy a mac
i dont have an s3 but i was googling this issue, i havent got a samsung device on ics working on my mac yet, my tf101 tablet just decided to work today after numerous errors about it not being connected.
AFT used to work, no longer does
Hi
I had this problem when I just got my Galaxy S3 at the end of May, and switching the connection mode to camera (ptp) did the trick. Now, however, regardless of the connection type I have chosen or whether or not I have enabled debugging, I cannot use AFT. At no point does it recognize my device, it just keeps telling me "No Android device found. Please connect your Android device with a USB cable to get started." I have reinstalled the program and still no luck.
Further info: I'm running 10.7.4 on an early 2011 15 inch MacBook Pro
Please help
Samsung changed something in firmware LFB that doesn't allow AFT to connect in MACs anymore.

Yeah, MTP never worked for me on my Macbook, while PTP worked as a workaround until LFB (and later). With LFB changing to PTP (by default) pops up Image Capture, which, if everything worked as it should, is what you'd expect I suppose. The problem is that Image Capture doesn't find any pictures on the device even though it recognises that an I9300 is connected - and Android File Manager now doesn't work in either MTP or PTP mode.
So I am not the only one not being able to transfer files using AFT? Or has someone figured it out?
Well I run KIES now and open the file browser that way. The only way I could make work on OSX. On windows I have no problems just connecting it and accessing.
I have this problem two samsung please fix this

Question: USB Wifi - how do you get it to work??
=================================================
I just tried the newest Android RemixOS as of Jan 25 2017. I read some of what you all have here and I was very impressed with your knowledge, however I have no idea what some of this stuff means even though I can regedit.exe and toss code around in C# and VB.NET and use Framework like a boss. Meaning, if I had the exact steps to fix my problem that would be GREAT!
* My problem, I only have a USB Wifi, my USB keboard and mouse work fine but RemixOS Marshmello will not work together. It just shows the Wifi off and when I click the toggle button to turn it on it just scans. Advanced under Wifi has nothing I can work with.
I heard that the problem -used- to be that USB was not supported at all but my keyboard and mouse work. So is there anything I can do to make the USB Wifi work, I have no internal Wifi for this computer -or- is that the best solution, just get an internal Wifi board that supports 2.4Ghz (which I read somewhere was the other problem, only 2.4Ghz is supported). Also I have no access to my Landlords Wifi so I am unable to play around with it.
Follow up Question: What is rooting and why is it better and why doesn't RemixOS just make everything rooted (since it sounds better and everyone wants RemixOs this way)? Rooted sounds to me like its, "written in stone" but it sounds like it makes it so people can get access to things?
** I already installed RemixOS Jan 2017 version if I have to Root do I uninstall RemixOS first, if so how do you install it from your PC if it made your system into a dual boot?
** Or do you all mean uninstall RemixOS then edit the ISO and put the mentioned code for init() into the init.sh file? is that the Trick?
*** Additionally for anyone that doesn't understand what I said above cuz I am sure I am clear as Mud on my questions. My Wifi is a stick, that is attached to a USB cord that then goes into the Back of my computer into a USB 3.0 port. I have no internal Wifi board and the motherboard is 6 years old and doesn't have much integreated into it except sound, maybe grafx VGA but I installed a RX 780 for a good graphics card.
*** I also forgot to mention it dual boots just fine, just no internet. Thx!
same here, im using TL-WN723N_V3 and wifi always keep searching.

Generally, wifi adapter connected using USB should work. It maybe a problem with particular adapter type not having driver in kernel or something like that. You can check output of "dmesg" command if it says something about the adapter. For example I'm using quite cheap usb wifi adapter Tenda (W311U+) and it works directly without any intervention.
