you might try out transaction of files via another pd or might try out with another otg cable for the same
there is a possibility of these two things being faulty or incompatible with one another
if the problem still persists then there is slight change with your read/write permissions to the folders/files
might try out the above and let me know
hit thanks if i solved your query

just a bit confused here.
are you copying files from your pd (pen drive) to your phone via a otg(on the go) cable. or are you interpreting the data transaction with a pc.
also would like to know if your phone is rooted and are running a rom /kernel?
happy to help

Well apparently it started working, its only disconecting if i transfer files with the help of ES file explorer, if i use the default "browser" it works.

Paranoid android vs mass storage problem

Hi there,
I am new here and realize I first have to search the forum for the problem i encounter , I did that, could not find the exact problem.
One mentioned slow copying but it was resolved after someone advised him to use a 2.0 usb port.
But that's not the issue in my case
I installed latest paranoid android rom as the second rom in the dualboot option from siyah kernel.
I followed all the instructions to install it correctly.
When i connect phone to pc to copy file the pc hangs, that means, the program which is doing the copying hangs, (both total commander as well as windows file explorer) have to close it with task manager, then when I browse the phone I see the file i tried to copy is present with the original size, but its corrupted, its only size being reserved for the file.
It is not an usb port problem, because when i boot the phone to my first rom (simplistic disaster) i can copy files to the phone, and its fast.
anyone have this problem or know a solution i would be be grateful, because I like the rom, but if I cannot copy files to it it goes down the trunk.
yours sincerely
Ronald
Put out your microsd and connect it directly to pc, works fine? If not it's card issue. Format could help in this case.

Thanks for your response, I did not try that before allthough im pretty sure its not the solution, because if it were the case i would have the same problem with the other rom booted.
But to not make a fool out of myself i tried it anyway s, and like i anticipated: no problems with the sdcard, the problem also occurs when i copy to the internal sd card, so its most likely some combination of the paranoid android rom with other issues .
Hard to say anything wise... I would try to find answer in rom specific thread. Hope you will solve it. Good luck!

He said nothing of posting in the thread. He said you should try to find the answer in that thread.
The 10 post rule is there to (hopefully) prevent people from posting random threads in development fora. Doesn't seem to help much though.
Hello
First, excuse for my english. I'm french, and like you know, we are the worst of the world in foreign language (thanks google Trad).
Two, thanks to this ROM, she's great, the best Rom i test since i've my SGII.
So, I'm here because i've a problem (surprised?). When i copy my music Folder (4,5Go), I've a first error message who tell that a sing have a wrong format (MP3). It's not really a problem, because I can ignore it and let the copy continue. But after that, I've a second error message for another file. This time, the message tell me that the phone not respond (sorry, I try to translate Win7, in french: "le périphérique ne répond plus") and i have to stop all the copy or ignore this file. If I ignore, I've the same problem for the following files, and all my folders are empty.
This problem appear with or not the debug mode.
Can you help me? Sorry if the question have been already ask, i've search all this afternoon (I live in Reunion Island, actually it's 5:00pm) and i don't find any answer.
Thanks a lot.

The problem you're having is normal at least for now, and I've experienced it many times.
These are my observations and how I've solved the issue in different occasions:
Observations:
- this issue occur randomly
- it's more common if your computer has been hibernated too many times without rebooting
- it's also common if an app on your phone is also trying to access your storage simultaneously.
Solutions:
- stop the copying process, and reconnect your device to the pc.
- reboot your Pc
- copy your files via Wi-Fi using apps - reboot to recovery, connect your phone to your Pc and mount your device as usb (under mount option in recovery) and copy your files.
Note:
-The solutions listed above are not dependent on each other, and one of them will sure get the job done till mass storage mode is fixed in the Rom.

Hello,
I try to connect my Gs this morning like you tell me. But it doesn't work.
Firts, i boot my PC after a good night. I re-boot my phone and after that i connect it to my PC.
The same error appear at the begining of the copy.
So, i try to mount my USB storage (i've no Wify to my job so i can't test this solution). The PC detect my phone (it was in the peripheral equipment, but the SD doesn't appear in the explorer.
I'll try to change the kernel, i would like to flash Siyah. If i'm lucky, maybe it will work. Which siyah's version is compatible with PARANOID. I maybe understand there a problem the beta6.

Sorry for not clarifying the kernel part.
I use Siyah and mounting usb in recovery works perfectly well.
Siyah 3.5.2 and above are compatible but I always recommend 4.0.1

No problem, thanks you. i'll flash Syiah this week
At home, i try to transfert files with airdroid apk and it works but this soft not allow to transfert several selected files or folders.
Thanks you again for your help.
Hello,
Just to tell you about my problem. With Siyah I could copy all my folders in Recovery mode. I hope the problem will be resolverd with the next PA's version.
Thanks again.

SO i read now its a common problem with the rom , i did not find that information yet, I now using the cynogenmod 9 from july because i was hoping to solve the mass storgage issue and guess what, the same problem, so now i know its not paranoid android related but a cynogen mod issue.
I actually have a new problem since i have a new adsl modem, cyanogen mod does not have a wps option to connect to a wifi router, the modem i have wont connect with any android device the regulary way by typing the wep password wich worked fine with other devices like ps3,TV and a laptop, we have 3 android devices (2x s2 and 1x 10.1 tablet) and all only can connect with the wps option wich unfortunally is missing in cyanogen mod
But I dont see this as a rom problem, only as a missing feature.

Use a different usb port. Or use usb mass storage transfer. It should be under settings - storage - then hit the menu button to bring it up. I'm not on thunderbolt but I assume it has that setting.

Which HBOOT version are you on? I suppose ICS. Is that correct? If yes, follow instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40241468&postcount=214. Those worked for me. Make sure the hTC drivers are latest with MTP driver installed and you have full root using flar2's method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2136815.
One more thing, Step 5 in ckpv5's guide is very important. This will not work if you are running Multi Mount app from App Drawer. You have to add Multi Mount Widget on desktop and click that widget to mount your SD card.

Hes pointing out that this forum has rules, you have agreed to obey them, and you right now broke first of them (and its first, because it makes sense, not because its bull****), youre most likely here just to solve this problem and not participate any further, so you dont care if you and others like you flood forum with ten topics regarding EXACTLY same problem. So use that search button, its easy. Or read some general android changelogs before complaining about USB MASS STORAGE missing (why these 3 words in capitals, its not acronym, only USB is...)
+ at least try to type name of thread in english
Multi mount working for me on Jb on ICS-HBOOT
as I followed the steps for flashing the Rom and sd card workaround exactly how ckpv5 guided
multi mount app from market works.. i tried it and worked...when you install it you have to add a widget on the screen from this app and i think on one point you have to reboot..
just try it with patience dont install it and not try everything if you have no success just tell me i ll write a full guide here so everyone will be happy..

It's not working for me. Widget is telling to connect USB / touch to close but when connecting to PC Windows is connecting via MTP - but no change of Multi Mount widget. 'MTP fix' option is checked.
Your support (or the announced guide) would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
today i ll have my pc...till night.. so i ll write a step by step guide to get usb storage mounted

Cant copy big files via USB

hey guys, i have a pretty big problem with my OnePlus3.
whenever i copy a lot of files (like mp3s) or very big files (movies) via usb from phone to pc or from pc to phone i basically always get an error somewhen during the copy process.
if it are a lot of small files most of them get copied and i just have to try the missing ones again. but bigger files are nearly impossible to copy due to this stupid error.
the error occurs on differnt points of the copy progress bar so its not always the same. i guess if i would try it 100 times i might have luck somewhen and be able to copy a big file.
i really dont know what to do about this...
i am running Freedom OS 1.7 (Android M), but already had this problem on privious versions and stock (OxygenOS). so its nor ROM related i guess. also i havent found any similar problem in OP3 section. no idea whats wrong :/
pc is win10, usb driver installed ofc.
if you need to know something else just ask.
please help me obi wan...eeh, xda. you are my last hope.
I have two options
First: Try transferring files wirelessly using shareit,xender etc....
Second: Go to mobile info and click on build number five to ten times
Then you will get a toast saying congrats you are a developer
Now Go to developer options in setting and enable usb debugging
Then try transferring the files again
Hope this solves your problem

Question OTG and data not working on my 10t

i have the factory unlocked 10t no mods. The OTG will detect a flash drive and ID it but refuses to read or write to it, even when given the permission to do so.
It shows up in settings/storage but the only thing i can do with it is to eject it. No file manager will access it to read or write. If i try to create a file or folder it gives a generic error. I t-shot with OP and sent them Logs and got nothing back from them. The ONLY setting for OTG is OTG Connection which switches it off after 10 minutes. Doesn't seem to effect it at all. There are 2 settings in Developer Mode Default USB Config and Select USB Config. no combo of settings has gotten me a working OTG.
Has anyone gotten this to work or have any suggestions plz?
Thanks in advance!

Good time. The solution to the problem was found. Install the program from the link
Edit Moderation - Link to 4pda is crap - Use strictly banned
Give permissions when connecting USB, enable the following in the settings

Thanks. But I have already tried MiXplorer. It didn't read either. I'm beginning to believe that the USB -c socket on my 10T is damaged in some way. I'm looking for the best and cheapest way to get it replaced. Thanks again.
