[Q] Access usbstorage through USB cable on Windows/Linux - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi fellows
I have run into a problem with my 1.5 year old GS2 i9100 which might require Samsung service. My phone is not starting up, not responding to any recovery/download/USB mode starting methods. After going through forums I suppose motherboard might be damaged. When I plug it in for charging using USB cable or regular charger, my phone heats up in normal way.
My concern is the data on usbtstorage i.e. internal sdcard. Is there any way to access and copy the data on usbstorage by connecting it to Windows/Linux OS through USB cable? (Please note it is not detected by Windows on my laptop too )
Please help

[Q] usb tethering & mount sd card at the same time?

Hi All,
Is it possible to mount sd card & use usb tethering at the same time?
Thanks
No, since turning USB Tethering on "changes" the device behaviour on USB. The computer recognize it as a modem/network device rather than a phone or mass storage device.
I think you maybe can use Kies Air to access your files.

I tried that. But the upload limitation is 100MB. Too little for me.

SGS II USB 'device malfunction'

Okay I have a serious problem with my SGS2... It simply refuses to be connected with the PC via a USB cable, not in Kies mode, nor in development mode... I need to fix this ASAP because there's files stored on the internal SD card that I need to access.
Basic Info that might help:
My phone is rooted, has ClockworkmodRecovery.
Running CheckROM RevoHD v4
Using Speedmod Kernel K18
I doubt however that it has anything to do with my ROM or Kernel or the fact that the phone is rooted, it's been working fine for ages and now all of the sudden it falls flat... When I plug in the phone, it starts charging and makes a sound, so it is connected. Then Windows gives me an error. I took a screenshot of it and attached it.
This is on Windows XP but the exact same message pops up in Windows 7 on two different PC's. I'm not sure I should take my phone in for repairs for two reasons:
My phone is rooted, and therefore the warranty is void...
But more importantly, they might wipe the internal SD card and there's very important files. I don't have access to a wifi network so I can't just transfer the files via Wifi. Emailing it to myself is my absolute last resort because the files are very big, it's gonna cost me a fortune. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated...
Samsung usb drivers is corect instal?
do you have kies installed?
Also, if you're desperate just download airDroid
Connect phone in USB mass storage mode to PC mainboard usb port only using Samsung cable only and wiggle the usb lead in the phones port see if it makes a connection as they can be a bit loose .

I am on windows 8. how do I view the SG3 sd card files?
Thanks!!!
Use the popular SGS3 UMS App.
Ext SD Card reading is supported, you can't move files through internal sd card and Pc.
Use bluetooth for that.
I've had the same problem many times after changing and testing new ROM's.
You can restart your computer and phone - has worked for me before.
Change ROM - this has worked for me, seemed like a particular ROM didn't like my PC setup / drivers whatever and refused to connect!
Change cable - they don't last that long, I've had to replace 4-5 since my HTC Desire days - all that plugging and unplugging can bust them - they always still charged, but no PC connection.
Try a different USB port - You never know!
Uninstall the drivers on your PC for your S3 - reinstall - use the SDK drivers - or from KIES. I seen users report that the change between a ICS ROM and a JB ROM and vice versa can cause issues, not sure if applies to you.

[Q] Problem with USB, and Internal SDCard

Hi guys,
i have a little problem here. suddenly my USB port wasnt charging and not recognized in computer also.
i have replaced the USB flex cable and can charge again.
but, another problem came up.
it cannot detected in computer in any way, even in CWM.
another problem is charging mode is always in USB mode never in AC mode, even i plug in into a wall socket.
then i took out the flex cable again and inspect that the new cable is rev.1.x (i forgot) and the broken one is rev 2.2
maybe is that the cause?
okay, another problem is my sdcard is acting weird.
i have dropbox folder in /sdcard/Android/data/com.dropbox.android which take up places about 3terrabytes (yeah 3TB)
i have screenshot to show inside dropbox folder with ftp client.
i know i must format this internal sdcard but i cant connect them to PC.
i try wipe from airdroid, androidlost, AVG mobilation to format sdcard, the result is nothing.
i also trying to format from inside the phone setting and it doesnt work either.
any suggestion until i get the new usb flex cable rev 2.2 (im curious that this version is working fine)
any help will be apreciated
thanks
fik
can anyone help?
