Hi folks,
is there really no possibility to restore the msc mode option on the Xperia X ? Sony Support told me that since Android 6 Google Guidelines they had to remove it. MSC mode means that you can mount the SD card as an external device.
Any hints? Cracks? Guides?
Thanks in advance!

Tbh i thought it was removed long long ago ._. It was really useful on my old XE, but in this phone storage speed is fast enough so that MTP is not a nuisance anymore.
Anyway, it should be available in TWRP recovery.

All the pictures which i captured from my S3 were stored in the internal memory of my phone. But unfortunately those pics got deleted.. and now when i tried to recover those pics i have a problem. I downloaded an app to enable Mass Storage Mode, it does not work on internal memory and it seems to be only for an external microsd… I really need to enable mass storage mode on the internal card so I can run a file recovery utility to restore deleted photos.. How can i recover this? pls help....
I'm stuck in a similar boat. Even on rooted CM10, I can't get USB mode. And there is currently a bug where it won't work in recovery either. I thought this would be a really simple thing, and it still boggles my mind why it is even removed as an option.
Connect phone to PC use Windows Explorer to open phone and sd card .

The answer is that you can't enable mass storage / UMC on the Galaxy S3, because the internal sdcard is not an independent partition, is just a subfolder of the data partition, unlike older devices like Galaxy S2.
You have to use phone side applications which are more limited of course.
Read this for further understanding:
[GUIDE] MTP and PTP (Media Transfer Protocol) vs UMC (Mass Storage Class)
Check here too:

You may try some android photo recovery software, follow this step by step guide: android phone photo recovery
hope this helps you get back deleted photos from samsung galaxy S3 phone.

No, but to recover files, see General > Sticky roll-up thread > S3 storage data recovery

You can, if you use DriveDroid, however the mass storage mode is limited to the file you select as virtual drive.
Hi,
I have a generic LY-F1 Allwinner tablet which was working fine until a week ago. Now, however, it won't boot past the glowing Android screen. I've left it for five or six hours with no progress, so I guess the ROM is corrupted. Is there any other way to fix this other than flashing a new ROM?
However, the main problem with this tablet is that it does not automatically enter mass storage mode when plugged into a laptop, so I have no way to rescue my content. I can see the drives in Windows (one for the internal SD, one for the SD slot) but they are not usable (they result in an 'insert media' message)
Is there a way to force mass storage mode so that I can remove my data in preparation to reflash it? I'm sure I read of a command line method to get into the internal SD card? Or was I imagining it?
Any help most welcome!
Anyone at all? I could really do with getting this sorted over the weekend if possible, so any help much appreciated!
Hello!
I have problem
I using HTC ONE X+ JB 4.1.2
My mobile during running... suddenly restarted ... and after restart it looks like like after factory reset .
Problem reapear ... again during running (half marathon ).
problem is that since 4.1 no way to set USB mass storage which means... there is no way to recover data.
is it anyway to recover 'magically deleted data" ?

It doesn't apply for Android OS 4.1 because it doesn't have USB mass mode anymore
USB mass storage has nothing to do with Android 4.1
its related to partition layout.
and phones without external sd card will never have USB mass storage
Hello,
When I updated my S3 to 4.3 from 4.1.2, it was terrible. It was very laggy, my screen didn't show when pressing the Power Button or the Home Button, and I thought that resetting to factory might fix it. Well, I was so desperate to make my phone work better that I didn't realize that all my files were on the internal storage, I don't have an SD Card. So, I've lost everything.
Now, I'm trying to recover some photos, but I can't connect my phone as USB mass storage to use a recovery soft on Windows 8. I rooted my phone, installed USB Mass Storage Enabler app, but it shows two drives (H: and I, but I can't access those. It gives me "Please insert a disk into Removable Drive (LETTER"
Please help, I did everything I found on forums, but still nothing. Those files might be lost, but now I have another battle.. Making my phone available in Mass Storage.
And by the way, it still works terrible with 4.3. Hate it so much!
Have you installed USB drivers ???
Have you read the stickied storage/ recovery thread ??

Unfortunately I think USB Mass Storage in the way it is implemented in 4.x for the moment can only share the external SD, the internal one is never visible.
IMHO the only approach to recover "something" is to get an external microSD larger than the internal partition and create a block copy (with dd under adb in CWM/Philz recovery for instance) of the entire "internal SD" partition - that one will be an EXT4 (Linux) partition) and there is a very, very small chance that you might recover some stuff from it (I doubt but who knows).
Yes, i have the Samsung USB Driver for mobile phone (1.5.29.0)
No, didn't read the storage/recovery thread.
Oh well...
Such error happens if transfer breaks unexpectedly. Think what file did you send lastly and delete it, it should fix your issue.
If you can't remember or it did not, formatting your external sd card will fix it for sure.

Ah, you're talking about internal one.
Well, then your magic program doesn't work properly. Perhaps you could try boeffla kernel and it's UMS.
Hello,
I am trying to recover lost photos and videos from my phone. Refer to this post => http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/data-photos-videos-documents-recovery-t3475903
However, all of the recovery software out there requires the phone to be detected as an removable disk (mass storage). None of them work with MTP device. I have a OnePlus One, running on Android 6.0.1.
Is there a way to show the phone as removable disk (mass storage)? If this not possible at all, please comment so that I don't waste more time searching the internet :laugh:
Will it work if I install a very old ROM? Can I still recover the data? What do you think?
Thanks.
It's not possible to mount the internal storage as USB Mass Storage. If you're rooted, then you could look into using an app directly on the phone, such as Disk Digger. If you aren't rooted, then you're pretty much out of luck.
