Does anybody know how to connect the GN II as mass storage for my SD card? I only see options of Media and Camera connections.
I see it in Windows Explorer as internal and external storage however does not show up when you get the pop-up for windows to be read as a drive.
When you connect as a media device I only see Media and Camera device listed too, and have a check for media (says for transfer media files to windows etc....)
You'll be using MTP now rather than mass storage, IIRC. Windows Explorer should still see it as a disk device so it will behave similar in most respects.
same here, but I can't get my laptop (windows 7) to open as mtp or camera, no matter which I chose?
I downloaded the samsung phone drivers I cant get my computer to recognize it. Windows 7 any help?
Make sure you are using a compatible cable, they are not all the same.

How do I get this phone to show up as a Usb drive when I plug it into a pc? I know you can view files as a mtp device but when I tried it with a winxp machine it only shows the internal sd and not the external. Also at times I couldn't view files at all when plugged in as mtp.
Hi, I'm coming from a SGS i9000b to a SGS3, and I neved had problems before syncing photos from the external sdcard to my computer when connecting my phone via USB, but now it reads the internal sd memory only (which is empty, since I decided to store photos on the external sd to save space).
Anyone know how to fix this?
I'm using the UK BLG8 firmware version, and my PC's running Windows 7.
Thx.
Check the settings when you open Dropbox app
Use thanks button if I helped
No, I'm not having problems with uploading (I guess I'll have to change the thread title)
The problem is that photos from the external sd card wont sync with my computer when connecting the phone via USB through the dropbox PC program.
I hope I make myself clear.
I've tested both CM v10.1 and ARHD v18.
Neither has a "plain USB storage mode" for the internal/external storage.
I mean, I would expect the phone to behave like a "usual" USB memory stick when plugged into my PC.
Instead I only get MTP and PTP modes which don't work well with my Linux boxes (my house has no windows at all!)
Any advice?

Theres currently no way to use the internal memory as a USB device since it uses the MTP protocol.
However you can use your external SD as a usb device using SGS3 Easy UMS. Check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711009
Search on Google, it's a design of jelly bean, decided by Google, to secure internal emmc and to be able to use dynamically all the internal space for data. Internal sdcard is in fact a folder in data folder virtually mounted as a device by android os. On the contrary before that internal sdcard was a separate partition.
That explain why it can't be mounted as usb mass storage, which is only possible with plain partitions.
There are ways to bypass it either with the above mentioned app, either with a tweaked kernel.
While I can understand the limitation for the internal storage, I don't really get the point with the external storage.
The limit just makes things harder: I could eject the uSD and push it into a reader...
By the way, which kernel supports USB storage mode for whatever storage?
I run cm 9 / cm 10.1 .
Thanks.
You can use Easy UMS to mount the external card in mass storage mode
Yes. But why needing an extra app when it is a built-in feature with other (cheaper) phones and ROM?
Why, if the recovery (PhilZ Touch 3) CAN DO IT?
This was my original question, though.
When i connect my phone to a computer, the computer recognize the device and i can transfer files from my phone to pc without a problem. But when i transfer a file from pc to my phone (either to internal or to sdcard), the copying stock in 0% and do not continue. Both my internal and sdcard has almost 5gig free space each. My pc is windows 7 and my android is using MTP connection. please help anyone..many thanks!

What rom are you using and what kernel are you using? Have you tried re-formatting the internal sd card and external sd card? What about the other modes for mounting? Do they work?
ROM (crDroidAndroid-7.1.2-20170801-m8-v3.6.1) seems to working properly. I connect the M8 to a computer and select USB for file transfer mode. The phone is listed under Portable Devices. It is labeled m8wl and has a tablet icon, not the phone icon I can open the icon but nothing is listed. I don't see internal or sd card storage. Tried on 2 computers. If I select USB for photo transfer I can see the internal storage but no sd card. Drivers are HTC Corporation Date 7/30/2014 Ver 1.0.0.19 and also tried Date 7/30/2015 Ver 1.0.0.23. Windows drivers behave the same. Tried different usb cables, no difference.
