LineageOS 14.1 - How to activate USB massstorage access? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I have searched XDA forum and other forum concerning LineageOS. But I have not found a solution.
My latest experiments were with installation of the adb interface on windows. At first, this worked well and I got full massstorage access. The Galaxy and its both memories did show up in Windows Explorer (like in old ages).
At the next restart of Windows (Win 7 64-bit Pro) when I connected my phone, Windows immediately did install the samsung drivers again. And since that things got even worse: No even the MTP and PTP Mode did not work, so that the Smartphone does not show up at all in the Windows Explorer!
At F-Droid, I have found an app, called USB Mountr. I tried this, but without any effort.
In the device manager of Windows I can see an „Android Composite ADB Interface”. It tells, that the device would work OK.
Now I am stuck with this and I hope, someone will help me, to activate usb massstorage access.
BTW: I have flashed my Galaxy S2 with Heimdall, running on Ubuntu. Heimdall on Windows 7 did not work, because of libusb error -12.

Latest status:
I have uninstalled the app USB mountr and did reboot the phone. Now the USBconnector is only active for charging the battery. I even get no connection in PTP or MTP mode.
Then I have deactivated USB debug mode and ADB. did a reboot, reactivated ADB and USB debug etc. and did further reboot the phone but with no success.
USB connection is nearly dead and cannot have connect with LUBUNTU Laptop. On Win 7, I get the signal tone, which is typical for connecting an USB device. The GT.i9100 shows up in Explorer but cannot be connected. Device manager tells me, that it is an Android device and all would be OK.
As a work around I am using MyPhoneExplorer on Win-7 and KDEconnect for Ubuntu.
Please can anybody tell me, what I should do, to get back at least USB connection in MTP or PTP mode???

I have the exact same problem.
I did notice, that after first boot, there was a message (several times) the MTP daemon/service stopped working (Crashed ?)
Does anyone else encounter this ?
Did anyone else resolve this ?
(Currently I was only able to get/send files to the device via BT, which is slow, annoying,
and a lot of work moving files to their required places after transmitting over BT)

Quick Fix for stuck on boot
This probably isn't the right place but you said there weren't many solutions. If your phone randomly gets stuck on boot you need to Delete Everything including system, factory data reset, flash ROM again with ADB, go through setup. The reason it probably hanged is because you installed an old version of SuperSU Binary or because you flash OpenGapps before setting up phone.
Hope this works
P.S Sorry for the late reply

[Q] Unknown Device :(

Hi everyone,
i'm having difficulties to connect my sgs2 to a pc.
i have tried it on 3 different machines (win7 64, win7 64, winxp 32) with the same problem:
I works fine when i first connect the phone in download mode. But as soon as i disconnect the cable i can't connect it again. Windows sais that it doesn't recognize the device and that's it. The device manager shows an "Unknown Device" under USB-Controller. And i am not even able to install drivers by manually pointing windows to a file.
as already sais, i have tried that on 3 different machines. I have tried installing driver via kies and via the driver file that is available here in the forums. i have also tried different usb ports.
Any ideas?
Goddchen
EDIT: Maybe this is an important information: the phone connects fine as long as it is running (can be found via adb, logcat is working, etc...) it only makes problem when in download mode...
I had exactly the same issue yesterday on my Windows 7 box. In the end I connected the phone in normal (not download) mode. Into device manager and uninstalled the drivers through there.
Then I uninstalled Kies and reconnected the phone, I allowed Windows to search windows update to find drivers (not that it did as it couldn't find any and reverted to the local ones. Then disconnect the phone, re-install Kies, run the install drivers from the tools menu, close Kies. Run up Odin and the connect the phone in Download mode, low and behold 2 minutes later after a lengthy installation process the phone was picked up.
I tried a number of things but for some reason this specific order seemed to sort it.
Hey,
thanks for you hints. But they didn't work for me.
I found the problem: believe it or not, it was THE CABLE. I went and got another cable and this one is working fine all the time. The other one doesn't... Very strange...

I had the same problem.Make a back up of your phone
and do a factory reset.
tried installing usb drivers sgain ??
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
try installing Kies?
Its ok i got it to work. Went into download mode and plugged into my PC and windows installed some drivers, Odin detected the phone just fine. Then i booted up into android like normal but switched to PTP mode, windows then installed the MTP drivers (though it was already installed) then after that all worked well again
Please help...
Im having the same problem. But nothing seems to work for me. Tried everything possible. Re-installed drivers, connected in download mode, installed Kies, reset to factory setting..ALL TO NO AVAIL. I keep getting 'USB device attached to this computer has malfunctioned...' message...
The solution isnt always the same for all users.. Fortunately mine was fixed by a simple driver install. I remember browsing the internet and found out that there is a way to fix it but it requires simple adb commands and the Android SDK.

[Q] USB Only Charging, No Other Connection Types Working

I have been fighting this for awhile now. My phone boots up just fine, and I am able to charge it through USB, but I cannot get Windows to recognize it. I have tried multiple ports, checking and unchecking MTP and PTP in settings, enabling and disabling ADB, and even putting the phone in download mode. LGNPST won't even recognize it in download mode. I'm really not sure what to do at this point. Does anybody have a suggestion? I'm currently running CWM 6.0.4.7 and CM 11. Thanks in advance for any help.

Had same problem with my laptop. I installed the correct drivers but still, nothing. Might want to try a different pc to see if the problem is the phone or the pc.
I have a similar problem here at work. We all use Win7 PCs. Mine has the LGOG driver package installed and despite all efforts to install, etc my LGOG only charges. The notice window appears announcing that drivers are being installed, but then it fails.
When I go to my neighbor's pc, that doesn't have the driver package installed the notice window appears, says searching and installing drivers and I can see my phone in explorer. I can't explain but a different pc is a solution.

Help with broken lcd device

Hello,
recently my bluboo xtouch (android 5.0.1) got its display broken and so i cna't see anything on screen, so to get access again to it i wanted to use [email protected] but my device isn't recognized by adb.
the touch on the phone still works but i don't know how well, the phone is still working as it is receiving messages and phone call, i managed to get the phone connected to the same network of my pc.
Now, usb debugging should be on as i never turned it off (is there a way of testing if it is enabled?), the phone is set to PTP as windows recognize it as a camera and i can access the phone but only the folders called
DCIM and Pictures. Under device manager it shows up as a portable device. The problem is that it won't show up in adb, i tried a lot of solution but nothing worked (the adb_usb.ini is set to the right VID, i got the drivers for my phone installed, i got 2 version of adb (one sohuld be 32 another 36) one from a freshly new install of android studio and another that i think is the universal one).
IT DOES SHOW UP IF I PUT IT IN (VOL+)+(POWER) MODE
Now i have no clues of to get it working i thought that, if the problem is the PTP mode i would need screenshots of the ui so i can change the mode without seeing the real screen, but the rom that is used by my device
is not that popular.
Anyone has any idea on how to show it under adb devices?
Thanks in advance
NEWS
i managed to reach the "select type of connection" and i've tried charge mode (doesn't work), old for xp (it shows up as a cd rom), and now i'm trying with MTP but i got problem with drivers
NEWS II
i managed to connect the phone in mtp and to copy all the files i needed to the pc, but still i'd like to get [email protected] working, i can swap between connection mode (mtp, ptp, charge) and i can unlock the phone (cause it's fingerprint locked). My new problem is: how do i backup all of my contacts?

USB Debug not working

Hi community, i have my new Redmi Note 4 with Android 7 and MUI 9.0.5.0 Stable. I activate USB Debug in order to eliminate some system apps that i never use. My OS is Ubuntu 14.04, when i start adb server and connect my phone to my PC the server says "No Device Attached". I try differents usb ports, but nothing happens ?. This seems strange to me, the phone connects on mtp mode. And my previous phone have a Lineage Room, Android 8 and i always make connections using adb. ¿Any ideas why this happened?
PD: My computer and my phone doesn't have an internet connection. I live in Cuba ?
same problem here, when i connect my device to the laptop, it doesnt recognize it even though it does recognize it when i boot into fastboot
I finally managed to connect my phone installing the latest ADB directly from Google
