Hi,
At the moment I'm using an mk 808 as media player with two usb drives attached (and xbmc).
I was planning on installing a samba server on the mk808 as well (sanba filesharing), but that seemed to be rather slow (probably because the connection to the router isn't that great). The other samba or ftp servers I tried weren't faster or couldn't read/write to the usb drives.
Of course just plugging in the usb drives in the laptop is a good option, but I was trying to avoid having to disconnect them from the mk808.
I have also been thinking about just connecting the mk808 to the laptop, but then it only shows the sdcard folder. Is it possible to mount the usb-drives in a subfolder of the sdcard and then being able to acces them through usb-connected mk808? I tried changing the mountpoint in vold.fstab, but that didn't seem to affect anything (still mounting to the same spot)
So, any thoughts?
Thanks

The MK808 JB 4.1.1 is rooted, so we can install superSU and busybox from PLAY store.
Install AIRDroid that all you need to do.
my MK 808 transfer files to PC or NB Via Wifi.
open AirDroid File tool : check the system /mnt/usb_storage/USB_DISK0
that is your external USB drive. mine is NTFS file syatem.
then you can upload/download files to/from PC .
PS:connect the USB drive to OTG port.

My Mac PC cannot recognise my S2. I have installed MTP programming for Mac as suggested by Nexus 7 and recognises my Nexus 7 correctly. Do I need to something for connecting my S2 to Mac? Thanks!
You shouldn't need MTP or anything for the i9100.
Just plug it in and enable USB Storage through the notification bar. It will be on your desktop and Finder.
Unless you're running ICS or Jelly Bean?

Android File Transfer
This is a mini program that allows you to see the phone as a true mass memory. Once downloaded and installed, the program will auto start at the moment in which connecting your smartphone (disable USB debug settings from your smartphone if not the saw).
You will then have access to all the files in read-write, and you can move, delete, and manage your internal archive with simplicity and directness.

AirDroid
Another solution is Airdroid, program that if you do not know you will learn to love. Unlike the previous solution, with this program we'll use the Wi-Fi at home and therefore we do not need to connect the USB cable.
The program creates a connection between the smartphone and our network and we can access control interface from any computer is present in the same network. You can simply open a web page to the address web.airdroid.com, enter the code that appears on your smartphone or Tablet and the game is done.
You will have access to an enormous number of information, you can manage your device with a lot of features and, among other things, you will have access to the files, you can send and copy items and manage all aspects of your Android. Of course, the moving files will be slower than the usb because it will exploit the wi-fi network.
The advantage is certainly the absence of cables and the many other options available.
AirDroid works obviously also with Windows and Linux.

Hi guys,
I just installed the CROMBi-kk Rom from the relative thread in my ASUS TF201:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2773812
It's very fast and smooth...I confirm camera problems but this is minor problem for me: my camera is affected of "green screen" bug..
My problem is the USB OTG ADAPTER that I use to connect pen drive or other externals disks:

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
With stock JB Rom the adapter above worked very well: I connected a 160Gb Hard Disk Drive without problems.
With this CROMBI-kk Rom the system not mount the external memory that connect with the adapter. In Settings-Memory I may see that the USB options are enabled (and when I pull out the adapter becames disabled) but "Install SD Card" command does nothing.
Is there a solution for this issue?
Thanks in advance
PS: I found others theads in this forum but not for my ASUS Prime
FYI
On Google Play I found an App to solve this issue...
It work well and with an helper is well integrated in the system
Look for "Usb otg" on the market
I have never had that particular problem, it had always recognised and auto-mounted any attached storage :/ could be a bad flash?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I just flashed Crombi-kk and I have this problem. On stock 4.1.1 OTG cable worked great. Now I it doesn't . Chainfire Stickmount didn't help either.
update1:
When I connect thumb drive to the dock it is recognized and is working, but with cable not anymore, even though the thumb drive light is blinking so it must be bug in Crombi-kk. Everything else is great.
update2:
In order for USB thumb drive to work, you cann use
1. Total Commander with USB Stick Plugin-TC., or
2. Nexus USB OTG File Manager.
The other USB OTG apps didn't work including Chainfire's Stickmount. Hope I helped someone.
I hope in the future Combi-kk version that USB OTG will be corrected including slow transfer speed. Speed transfer is maybe 2-3 times slower than on stock JB.
WiFi FTP access files
I am a follower of the principle "Keep it simple and easy to understand for others".
I hope this tutorial to be simple, but surely access files will be more simple.
This tutorial refers to connecting your phone with your PC via WiFi FTP.
In this way there will be no need to use USB cable to transfer files.
You need:
- WinSCP (for Windows) - it is free, I use it portable, or another FTP application.
- Nalic.app.wifishare-2.5.5.apk - free
- Root Browser or X-plore - or anyway, a browser that can access the system files on your phone.
Procedure
Download Nalic.app.wifishare.apk and install it on your phone.
Open Nalic.app.wifishare.apk

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Download WinSCP and open it.
Enter the address and port, as indicated your Nalic.app.wifishare, (not mine).
And if the connection is done correctly, you will see the files on your SDCard.
If you want to access other folders on your phone, go to Nalic - Settings (upper left) - Stay in folder -> then click on Custom and choose a different folder. Then restart Nalic and reconect with FTP application.
Notes
The phone and the PC must be in the same network.
To access the system files, the phone must to be rooted.
If your phone is not rooted, you can access only external SDCard files.
If you can not copy the system files from your PC to phone, then you can copy them initially to SDCard and then with Root Browser (or other apk) Copy - Paste in the system folder.
I hope this tutorial to be useful.

Hi,
just adding that i used winscp on windows with
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=berserker.android.apps.sshdroid
on phone, i can access all folder on my device for many years now.
SFTP or SCP access is OK
just for info.
thanks for this thread.
Nice
I just need an apk to transfer my files to my computer but your method works pretty good too :good:
I'd love to find a way to add a USB Mass Storage option when connecting the Lenovo TB-8703F to PC, to make the MicroSD accessible like a USB stick or hard drive. Has anyone successfully done it? Using MTP is far from ideal for my purposes.
You mean like this? If yes, I did nothing. I don't even have the drivers installed, only what windows installs on it's own.

That is MTP. The drive cannot be seen by apps that require writing to a 'drive letter' with MTP. And copying and reading files is worse since it has to cache the file being read first. And I've had heaps of instances where the latest files wouldn't be visible with MTP unless the Android device was rebooted first. MTP is a total pain (for the way I work). Only advantage to me is making some of the internal storage accessible but I save everything important to MicroSD.
I can't see why USB Mass Storage is omitted since all the budget Lenovo tablets I have had experience with have it. They cost half what this tablet does. And I can even connect 2 tablets together and share files with nothing more complex than a $1 USB OTG cable from ebay connected to a Micro USB cable when in USB Mass Storage mode. All without a spyware brain-damaging wifi sharing app. I can do so much with USB Mass Storage.
Also MTP doesn't play well with older OSs without drivers. Less of an issue now than it once was but still not fun when you need it.
I have tried UMS Enabler https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-universal-mass-storage-enabler-beta-t3240097 in my desperation but didn't have much luck.

One shortcoming of 12T pro is slow file transfer speed, any suggestion?
Make sure that it's running USB3.
(Does it even have USB3? Type C connector is a guarantee of nothing.)
Check to see if there is a difference in writing to /sdcard vs. /data/local/tmp
There could be some slowdown due to sdcardfs or whatever is handling /sdcard.
If rooted, run dmesg to make sure that the USB is not thrashing.
Yes, because this phone used USB2.0.
USB2.0 is the characteristics of Xiaomi.

Thats right. Usb 2.0 is so slow.

What should I look for?
That looks ominous, but Android is a never-ending crescendo of errors.
Note the time (1968), do another transfer and see if there are new errors.
Use WIFI to share files between pc and android for example X-plore app with WIFI 6 u can get 50MBps instead of 20MBps with USB
Personnaly it tryed to send a movie of 1.16go, it took 33 sec so not so slow, i was wondering because after sending back 70go of data last time it didnt took so long, im on 12t pro btw
Correct me if im wrong but 1160mo/33s = ~35mo/sec on a usb3.0 hub wich look pretty ok even if its not ssd speed
I sent on my usb 3.0 usb hdd and i had arround 91mo/sec ... it took 14 sec to send
