[APP][ROOT] USB MASS STORAGE Enabler v1.6

GokulNC · Nov 3, 2015

This app is to enable Mass Storage Mode for mounting your Memory Card as a USB Drive in Computer from your rooted device [Android 4.0+]..
It does not mount internal storage, and it will not work if your device doesn't have External Memory Card Support..

Download Link:
UMS Enabler (Universal) v1.6.2.apk
(can also be downloaded from XDA Labs)

(click here for older versions of app)

Steps to Enable UMS:

1. Connect phone using USB cable to Computer or TV or DVD/Audio Player or Mac (or even to other phone with OTG) or whatever.
2. Open the 'UMS Enabler' app and press 'Enable Mass Storage' and give it root access.
(Try 2-3 times if it doesn't work the first time itself)
3. Before disconnecting USB, eject from Computer and then press 'Disconnect Mass Storage' in app.

If it doesn't work, go to App Settings and choose the required settings, and try again.
Avoid using memory card from phone when in UMS mode..

Note:
This will work only if there is USB Gadget support in your kernel..
It is recommended to unmount the memory card from Settings->Storage before enabling UMS, to avoid issues.
(Not required if you don't make changes in memory card from computer, that is, if you're just using for read-only purpose.)
And remount similarly after use. (required only if /dev/block/mmcblk1 is used, instead of the particular memory card partition mmcblk1p*)

Testers, please try and reply.
If it works, please leave a reply with your device model & ROM (and custom kernel if any) in which it's working so that I can make a list of working devices.

Hit the Thanks:good: button if it worked for you..

Works perfectly on my LG L90. I don't have to deal with this stupid MTP anymore. CyanogenMod 11.

OT-Xtreme · Nov 8, 2015

From my understanding this will work only if you have external sdcard storage.. ?

GFOLDISCOOL · Nov 8, 2015

Working on my S3 Mini (CM12 ROM by Maclaw) with hard method.

Need some options (like unmount UMS/MTP),but finally I can use UMS on my device!
Thanks!

How is this different than the xposed module "HandleExternalStorage" which enables writing to the external SD card?

phone reboot immediately hit soft mode & empty (0bytes) partition on hard mode

Yes, this will mount external sd storage only..
Internal storage is actually EXT4 format and is present in /data/media

There's an option(button) for MTP.. You can use that.
I will add an option to 'Unmount UMS' soon

That module enables read/write operation on memory card for all apps by editing /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml (I think so).
But this app is for enabling USB Mass Storage to mount memory card to computer directly like a flash drive..

This works only if there's memory card in your device.
One Plus One doesn't have external memory support I think.

It perfectly works for me on my Galaxy Note 4 (N910F) on Emotion Rom R2.1 (Note 5 port) even with soft method

My only problem is neither my A/V system and my TV cannot recognise it and this would be my main need of this :/ Any solutions?

If it's working in computer, then it should work everywhere..
Maybe wait for a minute or 2 after connecting to TV see if it detects.
Try both soft and hard method..

Also, trying in some other ROM might help.. (Not sure though)

I thought that too.. But either my TV and my A/V system recognises flash drives immideately :/ I tried another TV (a smart one) and this one wrote some failure messages with it :/ Thanks though I hope it will work in the near future somehow.

This app is for mounting your External SD (Memory Card) in Mass Storage in your rooted phone..
It does not mount internal storage, and it will not work if your device doesn't have External Memory Card Support..
(And this app automatically sets the SE Linux Enforcement to 'Permissive')

Note:
This will work only if there is FUSE driver built-in in your kernel..
(I'm currently working on installing FUSE drivers for phone with kernel which doesn't have it.
Until then, I'm leaving this app as 'Beta'.)

Download Link:
Universal USB Mass Storage v1.1.apk .

Steps to Enable UMS:

1. Connect phone to Computer or TV or DVD or whatever.
2. Open the 'UMS Universal' app and press 'Enable UMS' and give it root access.

Testers, please try and reply.
If it works, please leave a reply with your device model & ROM (and kernel) in which it's working so that I can make a list of working devices.

Thank you

About dang time! Just the app I needed! Woot Woot

thanks thanks thanks x999999999999999999..........
i'm using Motorola G 2014 LTE Rom Mokee 5.1.1

CSAkshay · Dec 13, 2015

Will it work on Android 6.0.1 on sprout4?

Since this only mounts the SD Card, will it work if I had used SD Card as internal storage in Marshmallow?
I just want it mounted, I've got other programs on Windows that can support/read ext4 filesystem drives.
BTW External SD is encrypted and formatted to ext4 filesystem, when SD Card is used as internal storage, so even if it can mount it, using that program to read ext4 filesystem, can I actually access my SD or will it be unsuccessful?
One more, can I install OTA updates without errors if i used this?

Thanks.
