Root [MOD] UMS SDCard

[rbheromax]

Tired of having to use MTP to transfer files to your phone? Not working on your Linux box? Are the transfer speeds too slow? Want that full USB 2.0 Speed? Yea I did too. So I did this. It enables UMS mounting to computers. You'll want to Check the option "Connect to PC Software" from the Mounts menu under settings. It hijacks that option and makes it mount as UMS.

Thanks!

 

[jclendineng]

Doesn't seem to be working...what is your setup like? Thanks

edit...noticed it requires init.d which isnt supported yet...any way around it?

 

[rbheromax]

I'm on stock odexed rom. USB as "Connect to PC Software" and it shows up under Windows Vista 32 bit

 

[jclendineng]

hmm the file wrote to /system/etc but it still shows up as an adb composite device

edit...ok i ran the scripts and it errors out because of no init.d and the other files listed do not exist

 

[rbheromax]

Does an empty drive show up under My Computer?
If not I think improper permissions are set.....

 

[jclendineng]

hmm so i need to fix perms in recovery

 

[rbheromax]

It may help. Of not that just means the recovery doesn't know to fix it. I'm uploading a new zip now that has fixed perms

Got it to work. Had to run another script then yours in order in script manager and to unmount had to run a mtp script. Thanks! First I've been able to use mass storage.

Are we supposed to just flash the zip file through recovery (or adb/fastboot)?

 

[rbheromax]

Flash through CWM and reboot

strange, I tried flashing it in the Philz recovery that cooldudezach posted, but it errors out and aborts.

Here is what is outputs:
--Installing: /storage/sdcard1/ums-zte-8930-1.zip.zip
Finding update package...

Any idea what is going on here?

 

[rbheromax]

Hmmm....try using this recovery:

Its my own recovery i made a while back because I didn't wanna use cdz's stuff lmfao

It doesn't detect internal SD so zip has to be on external
Flashes fine from there

I'm getting the same error listed above. I tried the listed recovery as well as Philz, and on two different phones, one running stock and one running AWE Custom KitKat Themed 2.0. Anything else it could be?

 

[starkraving]

Rename the file to .zip versus .zip.zip

 

[etchings13]

Still no dice for me

 

[FattyAcidTrip]

I got an error message too but it still worked, when I selected connect to pc software Removable Drive H: showed up under my computer.

 

[cooldudezach]

Still no dice for me

There is an option when flashing to not use old update-binary. make sure it is not checked. (should be checked by default) that should fix it for you. (somewhere in one of the menus just before selecting ok to flash, if you look you'll find it)

Thank you so much! Gave an error after installing in cwm, I just ignored it, still worked perfectly anyways. No issues, super fast, I could instantly view my files after connecting, and I can finally see how fast files are copying. Super happy about this. 19-20mb/s steady transfer. XD

U can actually do this with a build.prop edit change "ro.config.allow_UMS=false" to "ro.config.allow_UMS=true"
