Go to settings - storage - menu: USB-pc connection. Try MTP or UMS and see which one works.

When plugging my S3 with USB it only says its a portable mediaplayer and does not show whats on my SD-card, Please help!
the fact that it shows as a portable media player is normal: that's what it shows for me when it's either rooted or stock. you should be able to click on it and see 2 storage options your internal storage and the SD card.

do you have an SD card installed? maybe it's the drivers not working. try on another PC and see if it'll read.
Drivers Problem
This frequently happens to my computer so I know how you feel.
To solve this problem,
1. Go to devices and printers.
2. Click on your S3 device, it should be there.
3. Look at the bottom of the window
4. If it says that the device needs troubleshooting, right click the device and select troubleshoot.
5. Wait for troubleshooting to complete
6. Your SD Card and Phone memory should now pop up on your computer.
Unfortunately i have not been able to find a permanent workaround for this problem. So this solution has to be applied everytime you connect your phone to the pc.
Hit thanks if i helped you!
thanks guys! i got it working!
Did you use my solution to get it working?
I found when I use stock firmware that changing from connect to MTP to PTP and back again, my computer finds the phone, eventually but running an AOSP or Cyanogen the computer finds it without any problem
Hey
I have done my share of search on the issue I have and I'm starting this thread only because I was not able to find anything similar. I've come to know that /storage/sdcard0 is a way of handling multiple user account in 4.2 JB. The problem is that my photos are here and there. Some bits are in /sdcard0/DCIM/Camera and some of them are in the normal internal memory.
All I wanted to do was to know how to access the /storage/sdcard0 path from PC. Connecting the CM10.1 running i9100 through USB to the PC didn't help because it doesnt show the sdcard0 folder. It does but the DCIM folder in sdcard0 in inaccessible. I wanted to have an universal solution (today its just a bunch of photos but tomorrow it might be something more important!) tot this problem and went ahead and installed "Android Commander" - a file explorer for Android in PC.
That gave raise to a new problem. My device was not recognised. I tried everything they have mentioned in the FAQs (which was not helpful at all) but to no avail! I uninstalled Samsung's USB Driver for Mobiles and installed a new copy of the ABD Driver through an installer. Now that its partially recognising, I'm not satisfied yet. I am able to give an IP for Wifi connection to Android Commander but it doesnt display the mobile files in its UI.
There are possibly two solutions for this problem. There should be a way to access it through USB like we do all the files that are in the internal memory and not in /sdcard0.
The other being finding a way to connect my device through Android Commander. (which says that I have to reboot the device to be able to connect and I have done that a million times from last night!)
Currently, I took those photos that are in /storage/sdcard0 by uploading to my Drive account and then downloading it to my PC. For someone who is from India where the internet is not so fast and there are limits on data usage, this is definitely not a long term solution.
It will be of great help if someone can sort this out. Cheers!!
UPDATE:
Just now found that there are a lot of files that have stuck in sdcard0 and they are not showing up when I connect it to my PC through USB!
So your phone recognizes the internal memory but Your PC can't see all the files?
If so then mount the storage normally, not as this mtp application. It should be recognized as external storage on your PC, not as GT-I9100.

The file manager that comes along with CyanogenMod recognises /sdcard0 alright. The MTP thing you mentioned doesnt show these files. And I tried connecting it as a Mass Storage Device and it didn't work. Only after that I came here
I thought somebody would help :'(

I also tried connecting the phone to my PC as a Mass Storage Device but that doesn't work (it tells me to insert a disk in the drive letter it just showed up - like I didn't).

I just did what you said. I had screwed up a bit in the middle and that's why it didn't recognise. Now it does! Thanks, mate!

Hi guys
Since I lost the CID of my RAZR XT910, I'v been using Boot Menu Manager. There's one annoying problem has been always bugging me.
The contents of both internal and external storage are not being correctly shown on computer (Windows 7), no matter the device is connected as MTP or mass storage.
For example, I create a folder with file manager on the device and then connect phone to computer, this folder may not be displayed. It seems that the contents are cached on the computer and never get refreshed. This happens most of the time.
Everytime I transfer files I have to use a card reader, and this is very inconvenient.
Does anyone know if this is caused by Boot Menu Manager or there's something wrong with my computer system?
Thanks for any infomation in advance.
Hello guys,
This is my first post and this place is still new to me so bare with me.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus. Rooted. Android 4.2.2
I am looking to recover some deleted files in the internal storage however whenever I plug in the USB to the PC, programs like "Paragon Backup and Recovery" and "Remo Recover for Android" cannot detect the device.
USB Debugging is checked.
I have been searching but no luck. Maybe someone here can help.
Thanks!
try kies and wandojia to update the lastest driver, it would help

sometimes change to another port would help
and also, you could switch mode (MTP, Camera, Mass Storage) and sometimes with debugging.
Eventually your PC would recognize and thus you could access to the internal data!
TRY harder man

I tried all that. There is no option for Mass Storage. Otherwise I wouldn't be here lol.
Are you sure you have installed every drivers?

Make sure every driver is properly installed?
You could use the Chinese synchronizing software "Wandojia". It could auto-detect and install the driver for you!
Or sometimes the option is hid under the category of more settings- wireless and networks- USB utilities
Or in storage, but you have to press menu to select the option
Just keep trying, good luck !
