Was wondering is there a way to use our galaxy as a universal usb mass storage device, using default windows drivers?
I've tried it but I can't seem to connect my phone to the pc unless I install either the usb drivers (extracted from Kies) or install kies itself.
In ubuntu can just hook this up no problem why in windows doesn't it work? or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be great.
thanks.
Wich part of Android Development Forum you dont understand?
why don't you can suggest me one or point me in the right direction or notify a mod instead of posting something that's not helpful and insulting?
and indicate why this would not go in development? yeah it can be in general but why can't it be in here explain the reason. This can be the initiation of someone developing a hack to allow to use our device in windows without INSTALLING the samsung drivers?
You don't need to install any samsung anything.
Settings -> About Phone -> USB Settings: Ensure "Ask on connection" is selected.
Plug in USB cable, connect to PC.
Select "Mass storage" on the menu. Your device is now connected and charging, but you don't have access to the data yet.
Now drag down the notification bar from the top of the screen. It says "Ongoing: USB connected. Select to copy files to/from your computer". Press that. Press "Mount".
Your Internal SD and external SD now mount on your PC and appear as drives.

Edit: If that doesn't work for you then there's something wrong. I haven't installed Kies on any machine I've connected the SGS to. It may be that you require Admin rights to install the usb drivers that are sent over as the device attempts to mount (not sure).
hmm that's weird. My machine says it doesn't recognize it when I do that. And all the machines I use I have to install the drivers for it to work even though I always use "use as mass storage"
hmmm I better do more investigation then.....
just tried this on a winxp machine without any driver/kies installed and yeah can't get to the sd card. It has an exclaimation mark next to the Usb mass storage device in device manager and there an "unknown" device detected in the "other devices" section of device manager....
Try the always ask option. Sometimes the use mass storage as default choice is a tad cranky.
If not, try on another usb port with another microusb cable. I've tried on 3 pcs/laptops and all 3 times no drivers were needed.
You also have to pull down the notifcation menu of the phone (once connected) and click the usb symbol and then choose "mount" (yeah, kinda sucks)

the drive that it installs when you connect your device to your PC with selecting USB Mass Storage is a normal USB driver, like when you plug in a normal memory stick...
Check your usb port or cable and try other ones
Or install Kies then uninstall it.
It will leave the Samsung USB drivers installed as they are in a seperate folder.
really weird could it be a winxp problem?
At work usb mass storage doesn't work UNTIL I install the samsung drivers. At home tested on a win 7 machine without installing any drivers and it works.
Would front usb port be different to teh back usb port? It's just that front usb port doesn't work if I don't install drivers, after install drivers works fine.
hmm I should test the back usb port. It's pissing me off how I can't use usb mass storage at work until I install the drivers (or would it be a windows update issue how windows don't have latest usb drivers?)

both win7 and xp require to install that usb driver unless you've plugged it in before... you definitely don't have to install the samsung drivers before you use the Mass storage function as my office computer (XP) is not allowed to install any other driver/software apart from normal USB mass storage driver in which it's pre-installed in your PC when you install the OS...
Hey Guys,
I have been using my phone for the past 1 year. My Brother just Wiped Out My Mobile Phone completely though the twrp recovery. Now I am not able to transfer file from or through it. If I am able to do it. I can easily Transfer Rom File onto it and install it.
So Please Say A Way To Transfer File Into My Mobile Please which has no OS And is not being detected in my windows 10 PC.
You can use usb OTG from TWRP and change storage. Also if you connect your phone to PC with usb cable from recovery mode. Your phone shall be detected by your PC as MTP device. Also check if MTP is enable from TWRP.

You can try and tell
Just open twrp and connect your phone to your computer. It should automatically detect your device as MTP. Alternatively, use an OTG USB Drive and install rom from it.
Hi - For a long time, my OP3T worked fine when I would connect the USB to do file transfers.
However, for a few weeks now, USB File Transfer stopped working. on my home PC. I know that there must be some issue with my PC because USB File Transfer works fine with my Win10 work PC.
PTP transfer seems to work OK on the Home PC. When I look at the Other Devices >> Android in Win10 Device Manager, there is a exclamation point indicating a driver failure. I have tried installing/reinstalling the official OnePlus USB drivers, but no luck.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
¿GJ?

Hi ! I post again because when I connect usb key mtp works and if I connect to my mac and go to settings usb parameters and choose transfert files/Android auto that work but never had notification pop-up for choose it
USB is a master/slave protocol. When you plug in an otg cable, your phone's USB controller switches into host mode. Your computer's USB is always in host mode. So your effectively trying to get two master devices to communicate which USB does not support.
I have Redmi S9 with broken screen. Is it possible to transfer my files to PC? That phone also has PIN lock screen.
If the USB debugging on your phone is opened, and your phone can be detected by the computer via USB cable, you can transfer files to PC easily. Usually, you can do that via Copy & Paste. Or you can also ask for help from Xiaomi data manager tool like Coolmuster Android Backup Manager, etc. Its free backup function can help you do that easily. It also support WiFi connect. You need to make sure your phone and the computer are in the same network. Hope this will be your help.
