Hello,
Is there a way to set USB mode as mass storage as default instead of MTP mode on Android 2.3.5?
I have the same question here for a SGS2 with Litening rom.
I have tried a couple of programs from android market, but they don't seem to work at all.
Anyone?
As many people are experiencing with the Galaxy S2 and the Sony Experia phones (and others I imagine), I am no longer able to plug my phone in using USB Mass Storage mode in Linux. The storage won't show up in Gnome's file manager (I guess it won't mount or can't mount). The device appears when running "lsusb" to see usb devices.
Anyone have this problem? Anyone figure out a solution or have any idea how to figure this out?
Hi,
I just got a Huawei G330 (Android 4.0.4, Kernal 3.0.21). Every time I connect it to the computer it is aking me to switch to mass storage modus. I thought since Android 4 there is the so called Media Transfer Protocoll (MTP) where the phone is connected as a device and not as a storage which makes it possible to tranfer files without disabling the SD-Card in Android.
But I couldn't find any option to enable MTP - not in the developers settings and there is no USB menu.
Can anybody help me?
I frequently synchronize media files from my Windows 8.1 desktop to my Android 4.4.2 devices and I find MTP to be very unreliable. After much reading it seems there are no fixes available to make MTP more reliable.
I am therefore exploring all other options including FTP, WebDAV, and Samba but I prefer UMS (USB Mass Storage) for its simplicity, performance, and compatibility with my desktop media synchronization tools.
I understand the problems that UMS can cause because of its need for exclusive access to the storage media.
I am wondering if there might be a different approach to having access to UMS on my devices?
I would like to shutdown Android and boot into something else that turns my device into a simple USB flash drive which I can then connect to my desktop for adding/deleting files on the ex-FAT external SDcard in my device. When done I would shutdown UMS and boot back into standard Android.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
I'm sorry if this has already been answered (I couldn't find it) but I am having trouble finding USB mass storage mode on cyanogenmod 12. I get MTP and PTP but not Mass storage mode.
Any ideas?

MTP is essentially USB mass storage that's what you should be using.

last CM12 nightly i tried had usb mass host broken so check cmxlog and see if and when if they have fixed.
Previously i was able to connect my phone with my TV via USB MASS STORAGE (TV was able to detect my phone as a storage device), i could access the videos & songs after connecting it through but now i can't do that.
What i think is USB Mass Storage has been disabled on core Android/CyanogenMod in favor of MTP and PTP as there is a problem with the way mass storage works. When you connecte the device to the computer then mass storage method needs exclusive access of the storage (intarnal extarnal sd card) and so it disconnects totally from the Android operating system running on the device. Any files or apps stored on the SD card or USB storage would be unavailable to android os when it was connected to the computer so to make Android os running smooth during that pc connection but I can't appreciate this as mass storage is really essential to connect it to inferior devices like TVs and car music player.
Anyone know a way to activate mass storage in Android? Running on Android 5.0.2/Cyanogen 12
Came to this thread because I'm looking for the same thing, yet for my Xperia ZL. I've found MTP mode unstable on my device (even with stock ROM) and using it as Mass Storage Device is the only reliable way to access my 64GB SDCard. So IMO +1 on MTP/PTP not being the only available USB modes out there!
any update on this issue???
