I'm sorry if this has already been answered (I couldn't find it) but I am having trouble finding USB mass storage mode on cyanogenmod 12. I get MTP and PTP but not Mass storage mode.
Any ideas?

MTP is essentially USB mass storage that's what you should be using.

last CM12 nightly i tried had usb mass host broken so check cmxlog and see if and when if they have fixed.

Previously i was able to connect my phone with my TV via USB MASS STORAGE (TV was able to detect my phone as a storage device), i could access the videos & songs after connecting it through but now i can't do that.
What i think is USB Mass Storage has been disabled on core Android/CyanogenMod in favor of MTP and PTP as there is a problem with the way mass storage works. When you connecte the device to the computer then mass storage method needs exclusive access of the storage (intarnal extarnal sd card) and so it disconnects totally from the Android operating system running on the device. Any files or apps stored on the SD card or USB storage would be unavailable to android os when it was connected to the computer so to make Android os running smooth during that pc connection but I can't appreciate this as mass storage is really essential to connect it to inferior devices like TVs and car music player.
Anyone know a way to activate mass storage in Android? Running on Android 5.0.2/Cyanogen 12

Came to this thread because I'm looking for the same thing, yet for my Xperia ZL. I've found MTP mode unstable on my device (even with stock ROM) and using it as Mass Storage Device is the only reliable way to access my 64GB SDCard. So IMO +1 on MTP/PTP not being the only available USB modes out there!

any update on this issue???

That the way it is with ICS. MTP connection is the default. There are solutions to make mass storage the default, check out this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548119 from about post #8 onwards

Is your phone in mass storage mode ? Does the PS3 support MTP protocol?

I believe you will have to wait until Mass Storage is available on your phone either via Root or ICS

[P] [CM11] USB Mass Storage unavailable, but MTP don't work with Linux PC

Fixed with CM11 M9
Hello!
By default, CM11 only provides MTP mode when connecting the device to a PC.
However, this mode is not working if you run a Linux PC.
The only mode working is USB Mass Storage, but this mode is not available in CM11.
Question:
1. Why is USB Mass Storage mode unavailable in CM11?
2. Are there plans to have this mode available in a newer release?
3. Is there a workaround to fix this issue?

Which mode should I not use?
MTP or USB Mass Storage?
With Linux PC I cannot use any mode, therefore it's irrelevant which one is fast and which one is slow.

Recover lost photos and movies

So a friend called me and she has lost all her movies and photos.
No problems i told her, just run a recovery program. Well....
The problem is that non of the Windows programs can't find the internal memory, or the phone.
The phone are rooted, and i did some reading at xda that -"This trick will only work on android phones having mass storage mode and MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) options. If your device is rooted then you can enable mass storage mode on your android phone."
So where do i enable mass storage mode and MTP?
Can't find any under option.
Same question asked many times, search for the usual answers.

There an apk called disk digger, it's free on the google play store, it worked very good with me..
I installed SG USB Mass Storage Enabler and finaly the phone appears in Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery.
Only problem is that the "drive" is listed as RAW, and the size is 0.00 MB. Also the drive is greyed out in windows
To clarify. All the photos and movies where located on the internal drive. A sd card has never been used.
