General :: Manually Mount A PC To Access A Samsung Galaxy S Phone Mass Storage?
May 27, 2011
I would like to download a few (591)images from the Galaxy S phone. Samsung have advised me that to do that I need to place the Galaxy S phone on Mass storage, whivch I can do and plug the phone USB cable to the PC and manually mount the USB. The Galaxy S firmware 2.1-update1 doesn't support automatic mounting! The Galaxy S has an Android platform Kernel version 2.6.29 with root @SE-S604 #2. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 on a AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+ with 1G of ram. It's the manual mounting of the USB connection
I need to enable my new E2120 samsung phone as a mass storage device. but I think I need a USB driver. Had a good look round the forums but can't seem to find any posts. Its quite a new phone but hopefully the solution is already about. When I plug it into the USB the phones screen has a hashed out 'mass storage' option.
I have a problem when trying to mount a memory card in my cell phone. I connect the phone with an USB cable, select mass storage as the phone prompts it, but no luck.
dmesg shows
Code: [ 200.673190] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4 [ 200.823377] usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=05c6, idProduct=1000 [ 200.823386] usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[Code].....
Just to be sure I tried the same thing with FreeBSD, though I knew from past experiences what to expect from it. It just worked(tm) flawlessly, but I'd rather not keep FreeBSD just for the sake of one device I can't seem to get working with Linux. All I can guess it must either be a kernel bug that has persisted for far too long or a faulty udev rule.
i have a server built out using a minimal f15 installation. when i connect my samsung galaxy s2 via usb i see the following in the syslog :
Aug 10 09:31:43 server kernel: [593577.329268] usb 2-1.2: new high speed USB device number 17 using ehci_hcd Aug 10 09:31:43 server kernel: [593577.405527] usb 2-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=04e8, idProduct=685e Aug 10 09:31:43 server kernel: [593577.406045] usb 2-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[code].....
and can access the storage. when booted into the minimal installation, other usb devices such as usb sticks can be accessed and mounted successfully. what i'm missing from my minimal installation that is preventing the samsung storage from being accessible ?
It doesn't show it on the device-notifier, or fdisk, and not sure if this will be any use to you. In windows it appears immediately as a MSD, doesn't show as a modem or anything first.

Since I use openbox with some packages from Xfce4 (mainly for convenience) I get most stuff "for free" as it were when using openbox, but I can't figure out how to mount android devices in a simple way. I can either do it manually, or install some other file manager that has this capability. This leads me to my question, I've noticed that if I install Nautilus, which automatically mounts android devices OotB, I get this functionality in Thunar as well. This leads me to believe that there is clearly a dependency package of some kind installed when running apt-get install nautilus that enables it, It'd be great to get this functionality in Thunar without having all the nautilus packages just littering about for no good reason. the required package is gvfs-backends, which I should have realized when I was unable to browse smb:// addresses. You forget a lot when you only make a fresh install once every 2 years or so.
Just got my new Samsung Galaxy i9000 phone. When connecting to my laptop with an USB cable, the phone says "USB Connected", but Ubuntu does not see my phone. I am using Ubuntu not yet for a long time
* I am implementing mass storage device on a test board.
* It contains NAND flash.
* Using corresponding "udc driver" and "g_file_storage" I could make my test board enumerate as mass storage device on my Linux machine.
* my 16 MB pen drive (test board) is now ready for read/write.
But there are some Bad Blocks on the NAND.Hence copy is not complete. Although on Linux machine there is no error message. Now , what is there in a normal pen drive which manages the Bad Block or what am I missing so that such Bad Blocks are managed.
Here is the error I get on my test board :
mtdblock: erase of region [0x2c0000, 0x4000] on "Bon 2" failed end_request: I/O error, dev mtdblock2, sector 5664 Buffer I/O error on device mtdblock2, logical block 708
I have a Samsung Galaxy Apollo android phone but Suse won't recognize the phone to download apps. When I have a SD card in the phone it automounts it as "USB imaging interface" and the only option is "download photos with Digikam" and I'm unable to view it the file manager. how can I get the phone to be recognized? I'm using Suse, I still don't know about hardware etc.
Just upgraded to 11.04 Natty Narwhal, and got myself a Samsung Galaxy S2. Tried connecting via USB in order to sync contacts, photos etc. Got the error: "Unable to mount SAMSUNG_Android Error initialising camera: -60: Could not lock the device" Wanted to use the USB storage and USB tethering, so I enabled USB debug mode. So did this on the phone: Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging Ubuntu can't see the phone. Then tried:
Settings > Wireless and Network > Tethering and Portable Hotspot Settings > USB Tethering.
Still no joy. Typing "lsusb" in terminal gives me:
[code]....
it sees it in lsusb, but nowhere else, so I still can't copy and sync etc. Anyone come across this problem, and if so, how were you able to solve it.
How does the read & write request from a command prompt go to usb & retrieve the file ? When a read request is given , I/O manger sends the request to file system manager (FSM) and from FSM to mass storage device drivver and from there to mass storage , is this right in Linux ?
I want to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy Gio S5660 to Gingerbread XXKPA 2.3.3 Firmware. I now have Froyo (Android 2.2) and want to update my Androidsystem to Gingerbread. This can be done in windows with some windowsprogram named Kies, but I only have my Fedora 14 installation on my PC. I now wonder if it is possible to do this firmware upgrade with F14 ?
I've searched high and low, and can't figure this one out. I have a older Olympus Camera (2001 or so). When I plug in the USB connection, I get the following log output: $ dmesg | grep sd [20047.625076] sd 21:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg7 type 0 [20047.627922] sd 21:0:0:0: [sdg] Attached SCSI removable disk
Secondly, the drive is not mounted in the FS, but when I run gphoto2 I get the following error: $ gphoto2 --list-config *** Error *** An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not lock the device'): Camera is already in use. *** Error (-60: 'Could not lock the device') ***
What command will unmount the drive. For example in Nautilus, I can right click and select "Safely Remove Device". After doing that, the /dev/sg7 and /dev/sdg devices are removed.
Some things I've tried already are sdparm and sg3_utils, however I am unfamiliar with them, so it's possible I just didn't find the right command.
# mount | grep sdg # mount | grep sg7 # umount /dev/sg7 umount: /dev/sg7: not mounted # umount /dev/sdg umount: /dev/sdg: not mounted # gphoto2 --list-config
*** Error *** An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not lock the device'): Camera is already in use. *** Error (-60: 'Could not lock the device') ***
this is shantanu and iam new to linux . iam using granular i make a dail up connection but internet never connects and iam using samsung s3500 phone as a modem to connect internet on granular .
Windows and Samsung PC studio Software I used to surf internet in my Laptop(Windows Xp) using Samsung PC studio software with the help of my Mobile Phone.When i am in Linux without Samsung PC studio Software.I am using Ubuntu 9.1 and trying to connect internet through Samsung Mobile Phone C6112.When i connect this mobile Phone to the Ubuntu through Cable wire, The Ubuntu recognized its a Samsung Usb Modem.I tried using Mobile BroadBand Connection Settings in Ubuntu.its not helping.Solutions which are useless
1.People says that Wine cannot be used to execute the Windows Version Samsung PC studio Software Because the Wine Cannot recognize the USB activities.
I am currently using opensuse 11.2 with kde 4.3.1. I am having a problem when I connect my samsung R450. It will not mount or show up as a usable device in either Dolphin, Amarok, or on the device notifier. I have tried manually mounting but I get an error saying it cannot find such device. I did not have any issues using it in 11.1 with KDE 4.2. It is being recognized by my system, but not allowing it to show up as a storage device or being mounted.
output of dmesg:

output of lsusb:

When I shut of the usb mass storage on the samsung R450 it switches to modem and is properly detected and usable as modem by my system.I don't have any other problems with other usb devices, such as a digital camera or flash drives, so I don't know if I just missing a system setting or configuring something wrong.
I just discovered that inserting any USB drive causes an immediate hang of the system. The keyboard caps lock and scroll lock lights blink. Only recourse is to power cycle the system. This is after installing Kubuntu 9.10 in January, I don't believe I had occasion to insert a USB drive until tonight. 100% reliable. No entries in logs, presumably because it hangs the kernel when it happens. The /var/log/kern.log file has been corrupted due to file system damage (1+ sectors of some other file inserted into chain) and probably other files as well.
I've not had occasion to report other bugs, but I've found no way to report anything other than application bugs. I tried using "ubuntu-bug kernel" which helpfully said there was no such application as 'kernel' and has been busy "collecting problem information" for the last half hour or more. Somehow I don't think its ever going to finish.
The crash only happens when booted into Kubuntu 9.10. If I boot off of 9.04 then USB drives work fine. Both USB drives I've tried reliably produce the crash. One is a random cheap USB thumb drive (imprinted "Cisco"), the other is a 16GB Corsair Voyager.
I have a problem with my Ubuntu which is when I plug my usb mass storage I get nothing as id i haven't plugged it. Nothing appears in the Computer , and when I do the command fdisk -l.. the usb mass storage isn't there to mount it and when i press lsusb

Here is the dmesg

My ubuntu is lucid 10.04, and my mother board is Gigabyte GM31.
I have Ubuntu9.10 installed in my laptop, and I want to give read-only permission on mass storage device (USB flash & external HD) & CD-ROM. please guide me how this is possible. It should be automatically.
I am so completely frustrated with this and can't seem to find any solid answers. I have a Google Nexus One phone. I want to also use it as a portable music player. I can find no player for Linux that can do ALL of the following:
- copy music - transcode when necessary - transfer cover art in appropriate format - transfer playlists (music files AND .m3u playlist files)
Banshee is the closest, but it is so painfully slow, has many problems with tags and also doesn't transfer playlist files. Banshee advertises support "out of the box" for this device. I've tried overriding with an .is_audio_player file, but it is ignored. Rhythmbox will transfer song files and transcode as necessary, but no artwork, no playlists. Exaile doesn't recognize this device for some reason.
I have a 1TB external HDD which I use to store my music library of roughly 40 gigs. Therefore I would normally import music directly from it to my Rhythmbox library while keeping everything stored on the removable drive. In recent versions of Rhythmbox this is no longer needed as the application integrates my external HDD into the side pane and lists the music automatically. This is great although when closing Rhythmbox and reopening it, the drive has to be scanned all over again. This is a huge pain when it has to scan through 40+ gigs of music.
Therefore I would like this feature disabled and removed from my side pane. It is not needed and causes quite a large annoyance. Either I want it removed or the ability to keep the index of music from the drive in Rhyrhmbox at all times. Achieving this would be fantastic and would switch me back to Rhythmbox. recently I have been using Exaile which I love but rhythmbox not working bugs me.
I am beginner in UBUNTO 10.04 LTS. I have a mobile broadband of Relience which use the device of Huawei EC 1262. I have a problem with this modem. when i installed required packages for this device like usbswitch, wvdial etc, my internet connect works fine but as i switch off the PC and restart, PC can not detect the modem, it detect as mass storage device. Is there any command/option that i switch the mass storage device into modem in the terminal window or on the GUI platform mean on the desktop screen.
what are the series of files that are called when a user make copy operation from usb mass storage to hard disk?i have reached the code of the usb mass storage in linux kernel 2.6.33 and i want the exact code the make the copy how can i do that?
I have a Samsung phone (S3310) and I'm trying use it as a modem to access the net on 10.04. I set up a Mobile broadband connection (under network connections) and I'm pretty sure the settings are correct because it works on a Nokia phone with the same service provider.
When I plug in my Data Cable and set it to Samsung PC Studio mode, my phone isn't detected as a modem. I just tried wvdialconf and it says "No modem detected". I'm guessing that maybe I'm missing some drivers here. what I can do get the phone detected as a modem.
I have a not very recent mobile phone. It's a Samsung SGH-X480. I like it thought. I have a software called "PIMS & File Manager" (Samsung EasyStudio II) which I use to kick with to x-fer .MID files and JPEG's to my phone. Now, I'm much hoping for a way to make it work with Ubuntu. I have Wine, settings are Ubuntu-default though. I ran the installer (20061016131758640_Pims_File_Manager.exe) which installed fine. However, when I try to run the program I get an instant crash (the usual '..may or may not be in regards of wine' message) before the application is even loaded. Not very fun. I also tried downloading packages 'wammu' and 'kmobiletools'. I picked 'ttyS0' for device (COM1) and tried with AT settings, different bauds, etc. Nothing. Which seems most likely, to get the Win32 software bundle working (by setting some Wine params for the better?) or finding the correct parameters for wammu/kmobiletools to successfully recognize my phone.
How might I go about syncing my Windows Phone 7 phone with Ubuntu? All I really need is just the Music and Contacts would by no means hurt. This is my only MP3 Player at the moment and I had just had to switch to Ubuntu due to a long series of very frustrating issues with Windows 7 x64 and Windows XP x64
I have just purchased a Samsung Nexsus S mobile phone. I am trying to download music onto it through my laptop using Ubuntu 11.04. I cannot seem to get anywhere. I have tried the Nexsus S forums but they tell me to ask here as they are not converse with the Ubuntu software.
here we have an older digicam (Jenoptik/Exakta Model "DC 22", if someone might want to know) that can be switched between some "PC Camera mode" and "Mass storage mode".Unfortunately, if attached to USB, it is always recognized as
