jumper Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 * Supported Operating System Windows Vista, Windows XP o Windows XP or Windows Vista, Visual Studio 2005 SP1 I downloaded it, but the readme didn't look promising. WMP10 and 11 and a special USB controller are required for testing. Someone would have to get the SDK working on XP (or later) and then see if a custom client can be created for 9x/ME.

deomsh Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) This is my workaround, together with Total Commander for Android (free!). Using an USB-drive with normal and with micro-USB-connection. BTW: not all smartphones can mount an USB-drive!

FantasyAcquiesce Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) Does anyone know a good workaround for apple iphones too? I've had many headaches attempting to help my mother with her faulty apple iphone; it keeps stopping during a photo transfer to the pc. Android's workarounds are fine (FTP, online storage, OTG USB adapter with flash drive), but the iphone is a whole new story: the freaking thing doesn't even have an option to share/transfer galleries, attempting to upload into google drive and mega fails too. The iphone is a jailhouse of a "smartphone" e.e Edited November 11, 2019 by ~♥Aiko♥Chan♥~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is his mom's iphone, it is already surprising she allows him to touch it , let alone jailbreak it.

The iphone is a jailhouse of a "smartphone" e.e I have the iphone 10xr and have been reluctantly using cloud storage for PC access of media. I just discovered the SanDisk iXpand flash drive model SDiX40n, courtesy of my wife. You have to use the SanDisk app to back up media to the drive but stores it on FAT32 so Windows 98, with nusb 3.6 sees it as a Usb storage device. I find it much more convenient than using cloud services. I had to tweak some camera settings because "live" pics save as .mov files which can be annoying when all you want is a pic on a PC.

UCyborg Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Back to Android, besides using the app, it's possible to manipulate several files to achieve the desired effect (root needed, assuming Linux kernel in use has USB mass storage functionality compiled in): /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable - write 0 or 1 in here to disable/enable USB functionality (needs to be disabled to be able to write to other files). /sys/class/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun/file - write the path to block device that you want to expose through USB mass storage, external SD card's first partition should be /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sys/class/android_usb/android0/functions - USB functions to enable, some possible values are mtp, mass_storage and adb. Multiple values can be separated by comma. su echo 0 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable echo /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun/file echo adb,mass_storage > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/functions echo 1 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable These commands (need Terminal Emulator app) will make SD card appear just like any USB flash drive on the computer and enable ADB support at the same time (equivalent to having USB debugging checkbox ticked in developer settings on the phone). It's a good idea to unmount SD card in the storage settings first, though depending on the usage (eg. only reading from it), one might be able to get away without unmounting it and causing havoc on the card's file system.
