Mass Storage

brandennj · Apr 13, 2014

This phone has only 3 options to charge , media device (MTP), Camera (PTP),

Is there a way to "mount" this phone as mass storage device like we could with the c771?

Is there an apps that do this?

You can use adb to push and pull files directly, you can damage your file system this way too, be careful!

?? It mounts as a USB drive if set to MTP.

If you are using a Windows XP then you will need to download the MTP driver from Microsoft. If you are using Windows 98 then it's time for a new computer. The newer versions of Windows all support MTP right out of the box.

All modern Android devices starting Android 3.1 use MTP instead of "mass storage".
You should enable MTP mode in the device when connected.
In Windows 8 or later MTP should be there by default (I think so, I don't remember installing it and it worked for me out of the box (well, I did installed the C811 driver before that)) and the device should appear just like any USB drive.

In Linux you have to install jmtpfs and mount it like

Code:

jmtpfs mountpoint

where mountpoint is the directory you want to mount to (must be created beforehand).

And unmount it like

Code:

fusermount -u mountpoint

where mountpoint is the directory to which you've previously mounted the device
