Hi guys.
Today i unlocked bootloader + flashed TWRP.
The system bootek ok but i had problem with accesing to internal memory (in phone and also via cable and filesharing/MTP)
So i made again full wipe in TWRP, it cound not boot so i reinstalled from TWRP whole system image, then full wipe.
Still i have the same problem: Cant access internal memory:
Meaning i cant create on internal memory any directory from Adnroid and also whn i am connecting it to PC, i cant do that either.
Any idea ?
The windows shows me that 100GB is free but still i cant write anything.
I only see "Android" Driectory with apps data in it.
Look in the device manager for the Android device, it's most likely going to have an exclamation next to it, right click on it, go to update driver, browse my computer, let me pick from a list, choose "Android USB", then it should be recognised properly.
If not make sure you've enabled "USB Debugging" in the developer settings (Tap build number 7 times to enable developer settings).
In your notification for your device you have to choose "Transfer files" instead of "USB Charging", just tap on the "USB charging this device" in the notification tray.
Are you sure you haven't messed up the encryption on the phone too? If so then you'll probably have to reset the phone back to factory defaults and start again.
See attached image for where it should appear in your device manager
It wasnt that, After few tries of full wipe i managed to get this workig.
Finally i set phone without fingerprint and it works now. All directories are accesible.
Still i will try again with flashing TWRP back becasue it reverted to default recovery :9

My Vibrant doesn't connect as a data storage device around the time I started using Kies. My phone is 100% stock beyond some attempts to fix the GPS (which didn't work and returned to stock). I installed Kies to do USB tethering and changed the setting on the phone to ask in which mode I want to connect.
Last week I was having trouble with connecting in Kies mode and tethering. I then noticed that I could only connect to the PC when I selected the phone option for Kies and not as a media player or storage device. I proceeded to uninstall Kies from my PC to see if that fixed the drivers. No go. I tried another PC which has never had Kies on it and also no go.
Here are the symptoms:
1) Plug USB cable to Phone
2) Menu on phone shows: Select Kies, Media Player or Storage
3) Select Storage
4) USB symbol appears and goes through connecting to connected state
Normally at this point the Win7 PC will pop-up with an auto start window asking if you want to open the storage device or transfer photos. In my case nothing appears. I also check My Computer and the phone is not mounted it doesn't appear later. I suspect a phone issue. Is there a way to fix this without doing a factory reset? Reboot doesn't change anything.
Anyone know a fix for this problem?
Make sure to use these drivers

Stupid question, but are you pressing "mount" on your phone when your in USB storage mode?
note to self: read OP *before* replying
If it's still set on Ask on Selection try changing it to Mass Storage. I recall reading something that said Ask on Selection doesn't work right. I just toggle it between Mass Storage and Kies manually.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Changed to Developer Mode USB and forced reinstall of the drivers. Thanks for your help guys.
My Galaxy wont connect with Kies ? check out this link -
.youtube.com/watch?v=Bun3DgLNsuk.
cant explain the problem properly
Try these:
While the device is pluged
Go into Device manager (type devmgmt.msc in the bar)
Look for device with a yellow " ! " and delete them.
click the home botton on the device if you can (to get out of kies connect mode)
Unplug it
reboot phone (Hold power a couple of seconds until the screen goes black) and let it reboot completely
plug it back while kies is open and see if drivers are installed properly
Okay, thanks. Will try that
That did not work, when windows cant install MTP USB-Application
can you try to uninstall kies and reinstall - update?
Does the device switch from home to kies?
I did try uninstalling Kies.
I removed the MTP Application from device manager, and now when i connect the phone it goes into MTP mode and jumps out of it again. And windows wont install the MTP driver
Looks like it's a hardware failure (with the usb connection)
Can you try on a different PC?
If not, call in for a repair and, if you want to try some of the things thei'll ask you to try, do theses:
Backup everything you have, do a hard reset (will erase everything)
*2767*3855#
then, clean all memories while in recovery mode and retry.
Try getting rid of any running applications; when I had Winamp open on my computer, it did the same thing you are talking about because it was tring to access my internal SD card.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
''t1mman''
thanks for the help this worked
*2767*3855#

This happens when you have a file on your internal memory that has an extension with more than 16 characters.
I had this problem, I fixed it by putting my phone in usb debug mode and then mounting it as a drive then I could go in and find all of the files that had long extensions. Basically its any file that has more than 16 characters after the last .
I had some files that were called .thumb924839834983 or something like that. I deleted them and then I stopped having this issue.
I found this solution on xda somewhere, but I cant seem to find it now.
Hi guys,
I got me a Defy and wanted to flash CM7/CM9. I got a few problems:
1. What did I do until now?
I rooted with Super one click, es it didn't work with the pushing and exploting the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin (after exploiting, if the Defy did it properly, it used to exit from shell and the phone remained offline, so no more action could be performed with adb).
Also, ClockworkMod Recovery is installed.
I used this and another push/chmod approach: Cyanogenmod Wiki /Motorola_Defy:_Full_Update_Guide
2. Problem A)
When putting the CM Update zips on the SD card and booting, it will say it can't mount the SD Card.
I mixed some things up and tried to make the SD card mountable again with this approach (last paragraph): Cyanogenmod.com /index.php?title=Motorola_Defy:_Full_Update_Guide&oldid=13776#Problems_with_Android_2.1
By typing too fast i added two incorret entries (shouldn't be a problem).
Somewhere than I read, installing CM7 is only possible with Android 2.2. My Phone says the following:
- System version: Blur_Version.2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.DE
- Firmware version: 2.1-update1
- Kernel version 2.6.29
3. Problem B)
So I thougth, next approach should be updating to Froyo. Sadly, Motorola Software Update doesn't recognize my phone, wheter with drivers from first link above nor with the drivers that come with the Update center (frankly, I haven't tried first link driver only but Software Update only and both togheter).
Several wipes and factory resets didn't help.
Any thoughts how I could fix this and get me a CM7? Best would be without loosing garantee (I mean sticking with an official software version as downgrade possibility). Should I have updated without ClockworkMod installed? Could return the phone and get me a new one if necessary.
Thanks for your help.
Edit: Is it possible that Motorola Update doesn't work with Win7 64Bit at all?
1st of all you MUST have froyo kernel (but certainly not eclair) before you can install Cm7 properly!
2nd it seems that your SD Card could be corrupted. It's important to eject your device from Windows PC properly before unplugging it. Otherwise you can corrupt your sdcard and/or internal memory.
Here is how you fix both your SD Card and internal FAT32 memory.
1) Plug in the device to the PC.
2) In Android turn on USB
3) The removable drives will show up in Windows.
4) Do one drive at a time. Right click on the removable drive and select Properties.
5) In this screen click the tools tab. Under error checking click the check now button
6) On this screen click the box "Automatically fix errors" and click start.
7) When it finishes it will either tell you if fixed problem or not.
8) If it did fix problems then you will find on the removable drive a folder called FOUND.000, FOUND.001, etc. You can delete those as they are broken files that got corrupt and you probably can’t do anything with them anyway!
9) Now eject the drives properly and you done.
Hope that helps.
Aw, men! I used not to eject any devices from my computer
I will try repairing and the the Software Update Center again.
If not, anybody knows which SBF file from sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordan/list.php is the one I would get after updating? I really don't get this list at all.
Thanks.
Ok I checked the sd card and there were no problems. So I switched to "Portal and tools" to check the Defy itself. The the first time Motohelper popped up and said something like:
"Starting the software not possible. In order to start Motorola Phone Portal you have to shut down all Motorola PC software and your phone has to be in one of the following modes: PC Mode, PC Tools or Portal Tools [not readable].
Open USB connection on your device and select either PC Model, PC Tools or Portal Tools"
This message keeps poping up if USB Debugging keeps enabled. Once I disable it and select Portal and tools again no pop up happens but no software (at least visible) starts. Should there pop up something? Start Motorola Phone Portal at device plug in is enabled. Or is this a normal behaviour at all?
Thanks.
Check out device manager in your windows if you have any question marks after connecting your defy to it properly (usb debugging and phone portal on). Maybe you do need some extra drivers on this one.
Well, now i got tired of this and I flashed a SBF with Froyo. Now I`ll trie flashing CM again.
Thanks anyway!
I've read many threads on fixing this issue, but none of the fixes I've tried are working for me and I'm kinda at my wit's end. I'll try to lay this out as concisely as possible :
Desired outcome - I need to recover my 'Documents' folder from the SD Card. After I've done this, I can reset the device to the factory image on my own.
Device - 2012 Nexus 7 Wifi, currently running 4.4.2 after the push update (Build KOT49H), and I've installed WUGfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit 1.8 on my Win7 machine. - On the nexus, I had enabled developer mode and USB debugging. No clue, unfortunately, what the most recent MTP settings were. I assume they were set to "mount as disk drive" (if I'm thinking of the correct setting here).
This morning my Nexus began looping the four-circle loading screen (formerly the X) when I powered it on. I can boot into recovery mode and restart the bootloader/etc, but couldn't break the loading loop.
Here's something I seem to be stuck on - when using the toolkit, what screen should I be working from for which tool? For instance, should I leave the tablet at the loading screen, at the recovery mode ("no command") screen, the "input adb command" screen, etc - and for which utility? It seems the ones I should be making use of are either :
Backup Utilities -> Create Android Backup File
Backup Utilities -> Backup VirtualSD Card
Advanced Utilities -> Push/Pull Files*
*On this option, should my path be /system/sdcard/Documents ?
Here's what I think I'm failing to understand - I notice that, under advanced utilities -> list devices, if I check the radio box for "ADB Device on" at the basic bootloader screen (on the device), I get nothing, but checking the "Fastboot - Bootloader" box returns the proper serial #. The only time I get a valid entry from "ADB Device on" -> List devices is when I'm at the command prompt line of the recovery mode screen (on the device).
Thanks for the help - II have tried browsing for similar issues, but after a night of struggling with it something's still not clicking in my brain. Pardon my exasperation and good on you all for being here.
Hi, 2 weeks ago I was still able to transfer files through MTP.
Since I've tried again today, my PC detects it as MTP, but it's not showing up as a drive in "This PC"
Also, I've noticed, it doesn't come up with "Allow access to device data" option anymore - so this could be the reason?
I used TWRP and was able to see the SD card data (I have encryption so I can't see the device data)
Anyone else have this problem?
I've tried enabling/disabled USB debugging mode.
I've tried on a few PCs and MACs
Can't figure it out! Annoying!
still can't figure it out - Any idea why "Allow access to device data" doesn't pop up anymore? I have used another s7 edge on my PC and it comes up with the option and works fine. It has to be something with my device
Any apps removed/disabled?
