[SGH-I317/M] CF-Auto-Root

[[email protected]]

Rooting has nothing to do with allowing mass storage. On a stock ROM, connecting the phone to a Windows machine in MTP mode will allow the phone's internal and external storage to appear as a drive letter in File Explorer.

before when I had my note 2 unrooted, when I checked on windows file explorer, it only allowed me to use "import pictures and videos" when I right clicked on the phone in windows explorer. But, what about regular files such as those described above ? I want this function because relating to imorting pics and videos, the original date and time created,modified,accessed were retained for pics and videos. I want this same functionality for importing regular files such as pdf, word, powerpoint, excel files etc...

thanks....

If you flash TWRP, you can boot into TWRP and it should show as another drive, although you may need to mount the data partition from TWRP.

With a stock ROM, I recall being able to drag and drop files to the Note 2. Unfortunately, I no longer have a note 2 for testing.

I'm sorry what does this mean? How do I do this ? does it show internal drive on my note 2 as a drive letter on windows explorer ?

I was able to also drag and drop, however the date and time fields change for files as well as pics/videos when drag n dropping to my laptop.

If you boot into TWRP and you connect the phone to the computer, the phone should be given a drive letter in Windows Explorer.

As for the change in file dates and times, that is a Windows issue.

my phone is already rooted using beginnersguide post on this forum. Will booting into TWRP do a hard wipe on my note 2 ? Is there any third party program that will not change the date and time when importing from the note 2 to my laptop ? Thank you. ....

Booting into TWRP will not wipe anything.

As for the dates and times, try googling "how to stop windows from changing file date and time".

audit13, I believe I have located my problem. My charge port is flakey...sometimes phone is connected ..sometimes not. Tried different usb ports, cables, computers. I am going to try a find a place in Calgary to get it fixed.
I would like to try some of the newer roms. I haven't flashed my phone since 2013...LOL

Okay, got my charging port fixed, used a USB 2.0 port and a different cable and can now connect to phone in windows explorer and Odin worked great to flash CF Autoroot... Thanks

please see the attachment. Will booting into TWRP bring "C:/" drive capability or something similar to the note 2 in windows explorer ? thank you...

Nope, booting into TWRP will have the phone show up as a drive, not as a media device.

can you attach a screenshot of difference between media device and a drive... lol I know I'm a n00b .....

thank you...

I can't because I don't have a note 2. This is how it looks on a G2 in TWRP:

is yours something like this as well ? thanks....

 

[audit13]

Yup, mine looks like yours.

hmmm, but I thought files as well (besides pics and videos) can be imported when patched with TWRP ???

 

[audit13]

What do you mean by "imported"? All files and folders I see with the phone in TWRP can be copied to my computer and files from my computer can be copied to my phone.

when you copy it from PC to phone, does the date+time change as well ?

 

[audit13]

I don't know, but it probably does. I can't say for sure as I am not close to my computer. I haven't really paid much attention to it.

Try going to Windows Autoplay settings and change it to.. Ask me every time. See if that helps

is there any third party apps/programs that will allow importing regular files like importing pictures/videos ?
