Can't access my internal storage via mac? - HTC Droid DNA

Hello, I am a new poster but have been reading these forums for a couple of months. I have a Droid DNA and am trying to edit my home screen using videos from mycolorscreen on youtube, but I'm having some trouble trying to access my internal storage. I plug my phone with the usb into my macbook, and it shows the device as a cd-rom, and then I click on it and just shows a few random files/ documents that have nothing to do with internal storage. This is what it looks like when I click on it on my macbook (see picture). How am I able to get my device to allow me to access internal storage? thanks

someone please help!

You need android file transfer. Unfortunately, it's kind of clunky, but it gets the job done. http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
It's possible to get MTP to work natively in OS X via macports, but I'm not sure how well it works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355913

Nevermind, Airdroid does not allow you to upload anything under "system"! and Android File transfer only does SD card also! any other ideas?? I've been searching google all day for this!

Ive read you can put files for new screen themes into the root of the SD card. I know the root is the main file of the SD card (not in a sub folder) but I don't know any programs that will allow me to put these files directly on the sd card without making a sub folder! can anyone help or know info about this?

All of the methods posted in this thread will let you put files in the root of your sdcard.

My android file transfer wont bring my to the root of my storage, only where my data is, for CM 10.1 its the storage/emulated/0. Ive always just transfered everything there then to the next place and vice versa. Dont know how helpful this is but oh well. When I had my Tbolt plugging it in would allow me to get to the root automatically but trying to do anything with the DNA and Mac is a serious pain.

UM lets see maybe because i came from a iphone already. The whole purpose of extra storage is to use it. Im aware you can use it for music and videos. It was a simple question because i havent had a android for years and before you were able to install apps straight to the SD Card.
You can't actually install the apps to the external SD card, but with the previously mentioned Filemount you can move the large data files to the SD card. the 9 gigs you have available will go quite a while with media files on the external SD card.

Yes. Also don't hold your breath on the installing apps to SD card thing.
Install your game, use FolderMount to simlink the folders to the SDcard. it will trick the phone into thinking the files are still on internal memory when they really are on the sdcard. only thing is you need root

not sure what you mean "lose the touchwiz" but no you wont lose anything. you will only gain abilities. there is no getting rid of the touchwiz UI unless you flash a custom AOSP rom which hasnt happened yet

i know exactly the problem you're having because i ran into this when using parallels. unplug the phone, plug it back in and it will pop up which system u want to use that device on, make sure u click windows. hopefully when it originally came up and u selected mac that it didnt save the choice because i dont know how to reset that. if it doesnt pop up with that window, try restarting the windows virtual machine

good to hear! i would definitely look into titanium backup. i know its like 5 bucks or whatever but the best app around. it will let u freeze those bloatware apps and help speed the phone up. i would check out each S4 forum (Tmobile, AT&T, sprint, and the general one) and look through those "Apps to have threads"
root explorer is another great app to have

I won't deny that it works for you but I know for fact it doesn't work for me and many many other people. U can read these forums and Google it and there are issues. For me it creates a dir on my sd card but it's just a mirror of the original dir on the phone. So it actually doesn't save space. Has anyone else got foldermount to work and can verify it's not just mirroring the original dir? I'm using the SanDisk 64gig card from amazon.

A quick question about rooting?

This may sound very noob but I couldn't find an answer. I have rooted and installed roms before but I have always had a large sd card in my phone. At current I only have access to a 2gb card (waiting on my 32gb to arrive). Can I root today and install a single rom then easily transfer everything over to the larger card when it comes? I have had this phone for over a week now and I am getting very anxious to start installing roms!
Thanks!

Of course you can man....use your 2GB card and rack some stuff on it, whatever you need....when the 32GB card comes move your stuff to drop box or Google drive (they're both free) and then put the 32GB card in and re-download your items from the cloud onto your new card....or if you have something like I do I have a little USB flash drive type of device that I keep on my key chain for all of my external SD cards so I pop the external SD card into my key chain USB thinga-ma-jig and then pop the USB thinga-ma-jig into my computer and get files to and from my external SD card that way....they are very cheap I think mine costs $9-$10

Absolutely! Done! I am rooted now, but now I'm having problems getting my phone to connect with my computer so I can add a ROM to my SD card. I am downloading the toolkit to try and update drivers because the phone won't connect with the driver I downloaded directly from Samsung. I have tried different cables and different usb ports with no luck.

Do you have wifi? Download the ROMs directly from your phone and move them to your SD card with a file explorer like ES File Explorer or Astro File manager....you could also download the ROMs directly to your computer and move them to Google drive or drop box and then install Google drive or drop box on your phone and they'll be there....I don't think I've ever used a computer to download ROMs lol
---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------
With the massive battery on the Note 2 I have no problems at all downloading ROMs from XDA RootzWiki or Droid-Hive...downloading them moving them to SD card rebooting into recovery and flashing takes about 2% battery max on this phone but that's just me....if you feel more comfortable using your computer and USB cable to transfer the ROMs over then you'll need the correct drivers which can be found in the toolkit in the other forum or you can find them directly from Samsung I'm pretty positive on that

Yeah man absolutely....my personal suggestion would be ES File Explorer if and when you download it just hit the menu button and go to settings then go to display settings....check off the box that says "show hidden files"....then go back to the menu and hit the cleaning settings tab....check the boxes that say "clear history on exit" and the other box that says "clear cache on exit" so every time you open it it'll be a fresh account of what you have on your device....after those 3 things go and hit the menu button 1 more time and down a few tabs you'll see a tab that says "root explorer" click on that tab and grant ES File Explorer root permissions so you can actually move stuff around on your phone....just download some ROMs move them to your external SD card reboot to recovery and flash away....enjoy my friend
Thanks so much! ROM installed!

I'm only familiar with drop box to be honest but my guess would be that you will have to select the file by long pressing it in your file explorer and then select "share". After selecting share a lot of options will pop up just select Google drive and share it with Google drive to upload it there...it will take a few minutes for it to show up

Try using Disk Utility in System settings. Make sure the microsd is in an adapter and not in your phone. From there you should be able to select format drive. You should get an window asking you what format. I haven't done exFAT in particular but I have had to use that tool for formatting before.

Found what you were talking about. It tells me the disc is not writeable so therefore cannot change the format. Thanks a ton though, I've spent hours searching for an answer either way. Don't suppose there's a way to make it a read and write disk is there?

Well you'll need to extract zip files. I can't remember if Mac can do that or not. I use a MBP but I installed Windows 7 in bootcamp and I use that for all my phone hacking. You might need to install 7zip or something of the sort in order to extract the files from the root exploit i think. Just a heads up. after you've unpacked the files. only download those onto the msd card. Don't include the zip file or you'll get a read error in terminal on your device.

[Q] [Cyanogenmod 11]Copy files from pc to phone and keep original date modified

Hi,
I need to copy large amount of files from my PC to the phone and preserve the time modified for the files.
I've tried all the solution I could find on xda forums such as:
using adb push
using adbsync
using localsync app
using quick pic app after copy and activate "fix date" function (didn't do anything)
Every time the result is the same, the modified date is set to the time of transfer,
I'm really out of ideas at this point.

And forgot to mention i also tried installing several ftp servers on device and transfer the files with preserve timestamp command. But apparently ftp servers for android does not support MFMT.
Do you really need the date? And I think it is modified because they just appeared on the SD Card. it's like saving a doc file for the first time. Try rebooting into recovery and mount USB Storage. I've seen that so it moves everything how it should be. For example, I can't move by just connecting the phone to PC any kind of zipped ROMs. Try this and then come to report

First of all usb storage is not working in CWM recovery, Iv'e read that its broken since version 6.0.1.0.
So i just used adb push, and then this happened (looks good..):
* please look at attached photo (I'm new user and therefor cant post links :|)
but then i reboot device and files are just not there!
tried search with root user and its just gone..
For me it works. Used it in the morning. You can try latest Philz or TWRP.

Need to FORMAT SD card

I already have apps on my SD card that I had moved over in the past but any other apps I move now become corrupted and useless. I'm hoping that formating the card will fix this issue. Can I just copy all contents from the card over to my pc then copy them back on after the format? Should everything work correctly? I have 6gigs of spotify music and other big data files. Hope someone answers Thanks!

I'm on lollipop with klte root. Man I messed up. I transfered all the contents from my sd over to my pc to format it and when I switched everything back over the folders came up as all empty. And I can't seem to recreate a folder called .android_secure. My storage info shows that about 9gigs of space are being used on the sd but the folders show nothing. 6gigs were of pure spotify offline music. This is not a good day. Tons of pics were there too.

I have done the same. In MM was concerned that my SD data would be gone. Made the transfer to the PC of everything. After seeing what MM did to my SD, I formatted the SD again and transferred from the PC to the SD and all was fine. If you want that info back and it is still on the PC, then just do the same. In my case after the format, all was as before.
I lost everything on the card. Dammit. I want to just do a complete hard reset of my phone. If I do a backup with kies will I be able to add all my apps and settings back on my phone afterwards with a recovery of the backup?

I recommend using Kies and Another Backup Solution as I've had problems with Kies backups in the past, causing me to lose saved texts, contacts, memos, settings, etc.
I personally recommend using Helium backup from ClockworkMod, a quick search through google play should get it for ya.
Happy resetting! :3
EDIT: Just realized this thread is old... you've probably already reset the phone. Sorry I didn't pay attention to the date stamp..
It's almost scary that you would have responded to this thread right now. I am going through the exact same mess again. I tried applying a fix to make the external card detectable by other apps which were not detecting it. Well after doing that none of my apps or data on the card show up or work. The files are there if I explore root folder though. How do I regain the pathway to the card? Through my USB on pc it does not show the external but it does if I use sd card reader with the sd card by itself. Last time I copied everything from the card to my pc then formatted. It all became a senseless mess when I tried returning everything to the card. Lost everything. I tried backing up with kies before but it did not give option to backup sd card. Please help is an understatement. I just checked the sd card for errors using Windows tools but no errors popped up.

The reason for this occurrence (as well as how to fix it) depend on how the fix was applied.
Please describe the nature of the fix as specifically as you can. Things like where you found it, what it does, how you installed it, as well as if this is the same SD card, will help the most.
Edit: if you could also include the file system that's on the card that would be great too.
Thank you for responding. I'm not sure what the file system on the card would be but I've attached a screenshot of what I did. The name of the app is there.

Well I found the app in question in the play store, and was unable to track down exactly what it does, so we can't get anything out of that.
To get the file system that's on the card all you have to do is put it in a Windows PC and look at the drive properties.
At this point the best thing to do would be to back up everything on the card to a computer.
