Hi,
I have broken the connector usb of XDA II, I can use something in order to modernize the rom?
Tanks
I dont think so , because in order to install a new Rom the device needs to be restarted and it puts itself in the Bootloader menu so it communicates only throught USB , hard Luck :evil:
What about SD cards..
I believe that you can use a SD card to upload a ROM image to the device..

Hi
Some reference (link-forum) to this procedure.
Tanks
As a result of a car accident I lost the ability to connect my Himalaya using the USB cradle. The data port on the phones board was completely smashed. I had it repaired only to allow my xdaII to recharge from it's power adapter but not from the cradle, that's how I lost all usb functionality.
Now I've previously read some methods and instructions on how to upgrade the xdaII using some modified rom files which are then stored on a SD-Card and then installed from the bootloader without the use of a USB connection.
Can anyone here tell me exactly how this is done ? What are the steps needed to convert the available rom files on this site to a format that would work from the sd-card ? I would also like to know, whether this method supports upgrading the radio and the extended rom in addition to the windows rom ?
Your help and assistance on this matter will be highly appreciated. As I can no longer upgrade my phone using the usb method. I will be depending on your help you guys. I've got faith in u, so don't let me down.
I also want to know it! Please help!!
Find another xda2 that has a working USB connection, insert your SD card in it, and use the attached file to copy the rom to your sd card. Then place the sd card in your xda2 go to boot loader mode and that is it.
The only problem is that whenever you want to change the rom version you will have to use another xda2 that has a working usb to transfere the rom image on your sd card.
Anyone come up with a solution yet for USB mass storage mode to access the external card?
I recently bought a 64gb microsd card and the SGS3 has no option for mass storage mode to access it. Trying to load lots of music files. Very frustrating

You're not able to open windows explorer to drag and drop you music to the SD card? When you click on your phone in windows explorer, it should open up another page to choose between your internal and external storage.
If you mean when connected to a PC, select camera mode when connected, in case the drive isnr compatible with mtp. You should be set then.
I can drag and drop. I was trying to use Double Twist program on my laptop to sync music so I have my itunes playlist intact. For whatever reason Double Twist doesn't recognize MTP or PTP connections on the sgs3.
I've run into a couple other situations with apps that don't recognize the external memory card. I think Quick Office Pro was another app I had trouble with as well.
I really miss the AOSP USB mass storage mode
Yes, not having UMS really sucks. I constantly have to switch between camera or media mode in order to transfer files. I'm 100% a custom ROM would fix this, but it should've been there out of the box. I wonder why samsung removed it.
Can't find Externel SD Card on my PHOne
I installed a 32GB external SD Card on my phone - when I plug in my computer I can see it just fine - I see T999 and Card as, connected to my computer via USB - this looked really different from how I have seen the external SD Card presented on other phones???
Plus - when I open ROOT Explorer or ES File Explorer to try to manage files on the Ext SD Card - I can't seem to find it anywhere - I can see the "SD Card" - which is the internal SD Card that comes with the phone- I have music files I have already put on that along with a ROM and Kernel Zip File that I flashed recently - and which I added prior to getting the 32GB external SD Card.
FYI - On my phone, When I go to 'Settings" Storage - I can see there is an SD Card with 29.71GB of available space (I don't have any files on it yet) - So I know the phone can recognize it - I just can't find it using any of the file explorers - is there some setting I have neglected to turn on ?
when I installed an SD card on my wifes EVO LTE I see both internal and external SD Cards - with names like SD Card - EXT SD Card -and or SDCard2 all depending on what program I was using to locate them -
on my new GALAXY SIII, right now I only see SDCard and can;t locate th external SD Card - any suggestions? (I feel like a real noob)

Yeah I gave up using DoubleTwist because of the outdated/slow support like what you are having and how it doesnt work well with mp3s over 10 mb. I switched to Syncr to use iTunes as my playlist manager and it works perfect. Syncr had support for the S3 almost the next day.

have you downloaded the latest samsung drivers? also if you connect the phon to your laptop, shouldnt thepull-down notification now ask if you want to use mass storage?

Mass Storage mode has been removed. Samsung now uses multimedia transfer or camera transfer (or something close to that). Mass storage is no longer an option in the drop down menu.

Awesome - thanks - I feel like such a noob - and I should have been able to figure that out - it was just so different than other I had seen. By the do you know if CWM will recognize the External SD Card? (on my wife's EVO LTE I could choose which of the two SD Cards I wanted to flash with - is there any wayt to that with CWM and or does TWRP work with this phone?
Thanks for the help - it is appreciated

Never heard of that program but it sounds like something I'll try out. I always used Double Twist in the past just because it imported iTunes playlist flawlessly. Sammy unfortunately takes away the AOSP mass storage mode. Sucks! :crying:
Thanks for this suggestion. I'll give it a go :good:

I do have the latest samsung drivers, but unfortunately not all programs or apps recognize the MTP and PTP options that samsung forces us to use

Is it "iSyncr" perhaps??? I tried a google search of just "syncr" and I'm having trouble finding it.
man that sucks... Looks like we have to wait for a port for a mod on the I9300 forums.
found this thread in the i9300 forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711009
Unfortunately it only works for the international version (already tried it). I would hope that something like this could be created/ported for the US variants. I'd do it myself, but this kind of stuff is way over my head
Maybe one of our great devs could make this happen???

yes, you can use CWM (ROM Manager) to flash ROMs on the external card (although I prefer booting into Recovery and flashing the zip files manually).
Root Explorer Problem
I am having a similar problem. My phone recognizes my external SD card (64 GB Sandisk Ultra).
I can transfer files from my computer to my ExtSD via usb.
When I go in to my my files on my phone it shows ExtSD Card and SD Card, but root explorer, ES file, and Astro will not show ExtSD.
I have been looking all over for a solution but have yet to find one.
I finally realized what going to mnt/extsdCard meant. Feel pretty dumb.
In case people haven't seen, there is now a way to mount the external card in mass storage mode for US/LTE variants of the SG3:

It won't let me see hidden folders in camera or media sharing mode. I hide folders with a "." in front of it, so like /.Wallpapers/ won't show up. Any way to fix this without renaming it?
Just got my GS3 (previously i had GS2 I9100G) , now my question is that in the settings folder there is no option of USB UTILITIES which was there in my old GS2 !! How am i supposed to connect my storage memory to the PC via USB ??
By using the search function.
There are literally dozens of threads about this.
The S3 does not have mass storage mode, only Mtp (which works fine on Windows computers)
You can use your sdcard with Easy UMS though

I have Kies installed on my PC & so the moment i connect my phone to PC the Kies will take over , hence the confusion !!
Do i need to uninstall Kies ?? Sorry for these "noobish questions" !!
Guys i am really eager to know whether Kies , which has been installed on my PC , will take over or not because i want to copy some app-files from my PC on to my SD card !
there is an app called easy ums in our apps and themes section. install it and now you will get usb mass storage for your ext sd card. s3 by default dosent support mass storage .

I do have the latest Kies version & by the phrase "take over" i mean the phone will connect to kies straight away , which is not my goal !! I simply want to copy a few apps from my PC to my Ext SD Card !!
@bala_gamer .... Thanks for your kind help my dear bro , i am not a techie but will try as much as i can to follow the link you have given !!
Is there a way to just copy some apps from my pc to the handset using Kies ? Even if i can copy the apps on my internal memory , i can always move them to ext sd card !!
You can't move apps from internal memory to your sd card/install apps to sd card without rooting your device first.
Up to you whether you want to root your phone though.

OK fine !! Now just let me put it this way , forget mass storage connectivity !! Just assume that i have a GO Launcher theme (or any .apk file) on my PC & i want to install it to my GS3 , what is the solution for this ???
On Windows Vista/ Windows7, go to My Computer and access the phone which should appear.
Windows XP is more complicated (as usual).
Alternatively you can:
- root and use Easy UMS apk as already mentioned
- Use AirDroid
- Use Samba Fileshare
- Use any other filesharing app with your phone
Btw: Pushing a thread after only 2 hours is considered rude. Everyone in this forum helps you completely for free and whether you believe it or not some of us do have a life outside the XDA world.
Thanks dear bro d4fseeker & i am really sorry for pushing my query but believe me it was out of pure curiosity of how my new GS3 would work !! I am proud to be a part of this awesome forum full of awesome members !!
