Good morning,
For a while now i have no access to my files on internal and external SD_Card from my Computer. I only see those .lnk files with my folder names. I found out that these are some kind of linkage.
I hoped that this problem would be solved with the next software update but it wasn't.
Now I am thinking of flashing Kezra's Custom Rom but I am afraid that i could end up with a bricked phone because of this Problem.
Could someone please help me?
Nobody any ideas?
How are you connecting phone to computer...PC? or Mac?
.lnk files are Windows shortcut files, so do not know if you what you are referring to here, or where you see these .lnk files.
You got USB drivers installed on PC/Mac?
You connecting USB Mass Storage, when USB cord plugged into PC, pull down Notification like below.....

}
See USB Connected
Tap Connect USB Storage
You should get Warning on Phone about some apps not working when SD Mass Storage dismounted, so tap OK.
When you do that, if you have proper drivers installed on PC....I talk Windows, not MAC, You should get notification icon in Task Bar Area showing Samsung_Android connected, see below:
Left Icon with Green Check mark
Also, if you have autoplay enabled, you should see both Internal and external SD's, like below:
Showing Drives G: and H: as windows views my Internal and External SD's
So, just click on open folder to view files for either USb Drive, or use Windows explorer to view files, I will show you one more pic, of both SD's on my phone, as seen in Windows Explorer:

I'm sorry if this was answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find a thread related to this....
My TP2 was acting up, so I soft reset. After Sense loaded, I got a message "Do you want to format this storage card to make it readable? This will permanently delete any files on the card". Now the phone is not reading a card anywhere.
Is there anything I can do to make it readable? I figure the easiest solution is put the card into my computer, copy all the files, put the card back in the phone and format it, and then put the files back on the card. However, I don't have a miniSD adapter, and I won't be able to get one til tomorrow at the soonest, and I kind of need this taken care of today. Any suggestions? I would appreciate it. Thank you.
yeah best bet would be to put it in a memory card reader and access it through your pc. probably got corrupt somehow. there are some recovery apps out there to get the most of the corrupt data out.
Have you tried plugging your device into your pc and setting it in disk drive mode to see if you can access your memory card?
also theres a really cool microsd usb card reader on amazon for $3.99 +shipping. I ordered one and it came in a couple days, its pretty slick. check it out here
good luck, oh and heres what the memory card reader looks like, comes in white or black.

So when I plug my S3 with a USB cord and try to view my photos, I can't preview any of them, I have to manually click each one to see the picture. Is there a way so I can see all of them at once so I can choose which ones I want? I've tried MPT and PTP mode and neither shows me the preview. This is all I get. I've tried updating Kies & that just made it worse & not read my entire phone at all so I removed Kies. Also I can't even get the phone to show up on my Mac, when I plug it into my MBP nothing just pops up. So for now I"m using Airdroid to view all my photos so I'm able to choose which ones I want to drag to my comp but it would be nice to be able to do it from windows explorer since that's much faster. I'm on stock rooted rom 4.04 with all the bloatware removed using titanium backup

I don't know much about Mac's but I know with Windows 7 the only way to see thumbnails is to use Kies or remove your SDCard and mount it directly (assuming you are saving images to your card). Even though the MTP protocol supports thumbnails, Microsoft's implementation of it in Win7 doesn't (and based on your post, I'm guessing Mac doesn't either).
Let's hope that Windows 8 (and the next Mac OS) do a better job with MTP.
*sigh..... stupid Samsung -________- my Galaxy s2 didn't have this problem oh wellsssssss

The S2 doesn't use MTP mode.

I hope this bumps the thread :\
I gave up trying to use my mbp. As for windows best bet is just moving them all to your HDD.

Uncheck install PC companion, and go into USB settings and tinker around a bit.
You could always do another hard reset.
What I thought is you might accidentally deleted some system apps. My thoughts. Am I right?
So upon plugging in my phone (newest iteration of clean rom) windows takes me into and lets me access the sdcard/ extension. I am trying to install an app by copy/pasting into the system/app directory but am unable to navigate to it via my computer. I'm unable to access it via root explorer because it says the folder is read only. anyone able to shed some insight into this situation?

In root explorer when you nav to /system, at the top you'll see a button that changes it from read only to read/write(see pic). If you wanna access /system from your computer you have to do it with adb.

Airdroid will also allow you to access the system folder from pc. Good luck
In cleanrom you can choose your file manager, each one has a different way of allowing your pc to write to storage, mount, umount, etc. Go through the settings and you will find what you are looking for.

I don't know what the program is, but i tried running it and nothing happened. I tried compatibility modes, and it always closes itself right after running. Judging by the androidfiletransfer.dmg, i guess it's a similar program for PC. I got no clue what it is even after some fruitless escapades on DuckDuckGo and Google.
Anyone know what this program is so i can get these stupid files to my PC, or better yet, get the phone to act like every other android phone when plugged in?
I'd rather not have to upload the 20+ gigs worth of files to google drive.
Thanks!
Sorry, I don't have a solution, but I thought I'd at least let you know I have the same problem. This is the only android I've ever had that won't just share the internal storage via MTP quickly and easily with my Linux laptop. When plugged in it either does nothing or shares that folder you screenshotted when you poke enough settings. I've never got MTP to work right. Even adb is a hold your mouth just right kind of exercise with my TA-1045.
My workaround is to either adb pull (unreliable, see above) or upload anything I want to share to an SMB share on a desktop I use as a file server, then download it from that share to the laptop. Not all that different than what you're suggesting except I don't get a cloud service involved, so my speeds are probably way better.
For an android one device, this phone's software really, really sucks.
I have my Nokia for about a year and I never plugged it to my computer via USB
I use "FTP Server" app on my Android devices, and on PC I have "Total Commander", I transfer everything via Wi-Fi.
