[Q] connecting rooted SGS II to MAC - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Help required in getting the rooted SGSII connected to my MAC for transferring data.
I am currently on miuiandroid-ICS-i9100-2.1.25_v2.1 ROM.
i am able to connect to external usb drive and sd card.
Thanks In advance.

using Wajkmiui 2.1.13 (no ics) I have no problem on mac connection with no drivers installed..
just activate "usb storage" when plugging the phone and its working fine
maybe its a bug of your version, I think there's many left with the firsts ics of this week ..witch is perfectly understanding by the way

would airdroid work?

I don't know of a way to do it without connecting it to your computer in some way. However, if your not using the cord that came with the phone that's most likely your problem. I got my replacement from a verizon store, its not made by samsung but works great. hope this helps!
You could try downloading ES File Explorer and transferring a stock Froyo rom over WIFI?
Just download the rom you want and use dropbox or something to move it over

There's no USB tethering for Ace . You could use hotspot tethering though .

I use Kies. Connect phone, select the tethering option in Kies, choose your service provider, and voila!

Depends on who your provider is. My Ace has tethering when I bought it. Has tethering available with Fla.sh v1.

yup, it work on mine
just use it few days ago when i had problem with my net.
just tick USB tethering while ace is connected to your PC, and you'll get net on your PC, without even setting anything.
I tethers only because I have no other access to the internet. I use the usb tether, and it works. I even loaded the roms on my ace down

wifi tether app
On your phone in wireless and network settings look for
Tethering and portable hotspots enable/check usb tethering use must also enable USB debugging, then install this app below you will be able to detect your pc/laptop from your phone. And on your pc/laptop will see Android NDIS network.
You will have to put your own settings in example ip address gateway etc.
I have NOT made this to work Yet, but both my phone and laptop can see each other. so it it a setting/config. Some one somewhere did mention it might be MTU settings I cant remember where I saw this but we are going too far now.

[Q] USB tethering with any CM7.2 help needed.

When I try to connect the USB tethering, it connects, but immediately after appears the message USB connected and the tethering check box becomes unchecked.
Did this happened to anyone else?
Can this be a baseband problem?
My baseband is WKS2.
My USB tethering works perfectly on stock, or with app wired tether.
Please help.
Thanks

Which app do you use for tethering?
Android wired tether:

But is old and has a few bugs...
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA
As far as I remember, the only ROM that has a working USB tether from CM is FAT, and of course any FAT derived rom, I currently have vo-1 so I can't test it but I know it was working when I tried.
Thanks, but returned to a customized stock rom

Yes, but the free version has some features disabled.
Why should I pay for a feature that I had when I bought the phone?
And yes all non based stock roms that I flashed have no or faulty USB tethering.

Which features?
It works as a USB tether for internet data, or were you talking about just transferring files?

Free version limits access to secure sites (probably limited https protocol for the free version).

[Q] How to get OTG working

I just got my tab 2 days ago and i got my otg cable from ebay for £2.99...Plugged it in my tab with a usb drive connected..nothing happened, tried my mouse..the mouses optical sensor flashed for a few seconds then went dead...I downloaded all the usb mount apps and nothing works!
Any steps to troubleshoot? IS it this crappy cable?
Im running AOKP b38 with Pershoots latest kernal
there is an app i think is called OTG manager. I used to use that one with an xperia arc s to be able to use mouse/kb and usb drives.

Galaxy S3 and Mac

Hey guys for some reason I am finding that no matter what I do androidtransfer will not work on my Mac with my GS3 . I have also tried airdroid which works ok but can only transfer files not folders. Are there any good alternatives that will allow me to transfer folders between my Mac and GS3?
i m using sync mate (full version) it works well even over wireless too
rest try sgs3 easy ums application you can find it on application/theme thread...
by the way what rom are you using ??? stock/custom??? ICS/JELLY BEAN???
You using Mountain Lion? I have exactly the same problem after the ML upgrade, so either Apple have changed something to break Samsung compatibility (conspiracy, maybe?) or Google need an update for the AFT application.

Hello to all!
I am using Mac OS X Lion and I have the same problem especially now with Jelly Bean leaked roms.. Android File Transfer was ok and I was doing my job but now nothing... I just use my PC at work but this is no solution actually... So the ones running Jelly Bean roms on S3 what do you use in order to connect your device on OS X Lion?? I should try SyncMate and get back to you...

Name your operating system.Mountain Lion?Kies is not compatible with mountain lion

Used to work ok with Kies + Lion. But since Mountain Lion, no juice. I'm using win 8 release preview in a vm to do my Android stuff instead
Enviado de meu GT-I9300 usando o Tapatalk 2
The problem is that files installed by Lies interfere with Android file transfer even if. Kies doesn't work anymore but is there after the system update
You have to "install" it again and check uninstall to remove these files
Then android file transfer works like a charm. Did it both on my imac and mcbook
