[Q] USB Storage Problem

Just turned on my phone after the exam today and normally it justs checks the usb storage as usual but now it's stuck on checking the usb storage, been like this for hours and I've tried restating the phone but same thing.
As a result of this I can't access anything. It's just stuck on (preparing usb storage -checking for errors)
What to do? Cheers
try - remove your external SD card and switch on the phone,
Just tried that an hour ago. It's something to do with internal sd card pretty sure.
Any other suggestions?
cwm format emmc or sdcard [depends on version of cwm] remove external sd card to be safe.
Might have to do that unfortunately
if you are not concerned about apps, just try a factory reset...

Rooster19,what do you mean by "USB storage" checking, we understand it is media scanning upon booting, isn't it?
Yeah, but now it just says that, whatever I mentioned in the OP.
Keeps doing that and can't access gallery, music, or can't be detected on PC.
Don't know how it happened :/
Whoa I just got a message saying "damaged usb storage" after rebooting again.
What do
currupted / damaged internal storage....
1: format all partitions using cwm
2: try flashing stock rom using odin.
otherwise sorry in my opinion repair job
be warned doing anything above mentioned now could actually kill the device in the state it is now.
Help anyone
My phone can't even get recognised on the PC..
Anything else??
I think I have no hope :/
yow yow yow
try "FAT32", "default seperate size" andddd "fast format", say "thank you man"

[Q] Problem with my device ?

Hi
I just bought my device and I already have a problem with it, or maybe there's no problem and I need to buy an SD card
When I try downloading an attachment from gmail it says "Couldn't download", when I try downloading anything from the internet it says I don't have an SD card installed. Same with dropbox.
Can't I use the phone's internal storage for these downloads or is it necessary to buy an external sd card ?
Thank you
nothing wrong with the phone
When you connect the phone to a computer choosing diskdrive, the phone can't use any of it's storage. You can still download from Google Play and install new apps though (weird but yea). Nothing wrong with your phone. Just disconnect the usb cable and downloading from gmail or dropbox will work.

That would mean you need an SD-card, lol ... had one from the beginning and didn't test it now without, sorry Once you do have one though, that's how it works.

Problem when plugging my S3 with USB to PC

When plugging my S3 with USB it only says its a portable mediaplayer and does not show whats on my SD-card, Please help!
the fact that it shows as a portable media player is normal: that's what it shows for me when it's either rooted or stock. you should be able to click on it and see 2 storage options your internal storage and the SD card.

do you have an SD card installed? maybe it's the drivers not working. try on another PC and see if it'll read.
Drivers Problem
This frequently happens to my computer so I know how you feel.
To solve this problem,
1. Go to devices and printers.
2. Click on your S3 device, it should be there.
3. Look at the bottom of the window
4. If it says that the device needs troubleshooting, right click the device and select troubleshoot.
5. Wait for troubleshooting to complete
6. Your SD Card and Phone memory should now pop up on your computer.
Unfortunately i have not been able to find a permanent workaround for this problem. So this solution has to be applied everytime you connect your phone to the pc.
Hit thanks if i helped you!
thanks guys! i got it working!
Did you use my solution to get it working?
I found when I use stock firmware that changing from connect to MTP to PTP and back again, my computer finds the phone, eventually but running an AOSP or Cyanogen the computer finds it without any problem

U can use a USB OTG or SD with the stock rom or u can push the zip via adb and flash via recovery.

borrow it from someone for abit. sd card is easy to come by. cause if you can't do adb, there's really no other way to flash your rom in then via otg or sd.

omg, are you serious.. you can use an adapter. If they don't have an adapter, just put the sd card into some other phone, and connect that other phone via usb to your pc and transfer the rom

So... I don't even know, if I use ADB right. I use it in this way:
I boot into recovery - Open ADB on Computer - Plug my phone into the computer - Tap in the recovery ADB sideload - Its loading, loading... While its loading I check, if my ADB on my computer finds my phone (adb devices), it don't find it - my phone displays after a few minutes a red error (just one word, error)
So, am I doing right? Please correct me, if I doing sth wrong. Thanks
If you have TWRP then you should be able to connect your phone to PC via usb and transfer data on internal storage via MTP.
Hey,
All u need is a little work, firstly I would recommend you to buy 1 sdcard as it's so cheap and easy to get rather than borrowing it from friend, as u may need it again sooner or later.
Second, after u plug in usb cable to pc, please check whether your pc has installed right adb driver for your device or it wont work for adb sideload command.
Third, ensure you have the right rom for your device, I assume you have it downloaded into your pc. Just open the adb terminal and type adb sideload filename.zip . and it will automatically start installation process.
Dont forget to make a full nandroid backup at least once and save it in Sdcard or cloud storage for emergency case like one you're facing now.
Good luck buddy [emoji1]

Hey, I am not a noob, but I too accidentally deleted my internal memory of samsung SM-N750. I am quite experienced in using odin and flashing kernels etc. But I am stupidly impatient. Today I performed a nandroid backup, then went ahead and wiped off ALL DATA except sd card! It was cuz of lack of awareness and shortage of time. I am preparing for my college exams, suddenly xposed framework caused repeated bootloops, so I decided to perform a proper rom installation, root and xposed right from scratch.
Anyways, I easily installed the lollipop rom via odin, rooted it and everything's peachy.
Is there any way of recovering that nandroid backup zip file, which was on the internal storage? In short, Does twrp perform a full wipe or quick wipe of storage?
I tried using an app "undeleter" but it didn't find any such (around 4gb) zip file in the internal storage. Any other android or windows based apps?
I don't stand to lose too much, just that I would have to install all apps and settings etc which will waste a lot of time.
@arya809
I believe that big files are harder to recover. There's an app called DiskDigger but to recover .zip files you need the pro version which is paid and it can't guarantee that you will recover your file. I do not know any other app that might help you (there are many apps for windows but I can't recommend a particular one since I haven't used any).
If you didn't lost important data I will recommend to install them manually. You can use your PC and install the desired apps directly from http://play.google.com/ (it might be slightly faster to find and install them).
Boot up the recovery, plug it into your computer, your device should show up in the file manager, copy the ROM to the device, and then flash it

There is a device called card reader(some wizard from hogwarts invented it) which will help you to copy data to sd card from your computer
And did you tried mount option in twrp???
In twrp first click mount internal storage the connect it with usb cable it will show storage on your device then copy the rom to it.
Sorry for bad english

USB file transfer not working...

Hey,
if i connect my phone with my PC, i can normaly see all files,...
But if i want to copy a file from my computer to my phone (internal or external sdcard) its stock at 0%. (in system and twrp)
After a while (2-4minutes) windows says, that was an error with the transfer. After these message, the phone reboot (twrp)
I tried to reinstall the right usb drivers, tried sideload and adb push but.
i googled the problem, but i cant find something like this.
sideload says something with "cant read comand"
and push says its done (800mb file after 10sec :/ ) but there is nothing on the device.
I dont know what the problem is. the phone is from 2012 but EVERYTHING else is working fine.
sorry for my english

Did you tried with another computer ?
And if you really can't fix your problem you can also use micro sd card to transfer file.
