Sensation XL < SGN - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Afternoon all
I've bit the buillet and finally picked up a SGN and I must admit im blown away
I do have 1 niggly little issue though, I cant seem to get the damn MTP to work on my Office PC (XP 32bit waaaay underpowered) and all for the sake of getting a ROM on there
Managed to use the Gnex tools to Unlock the BL, root and Flash CWM but I cant seem to copy any files over to the "SD Card" keeps bringing up and error saying;

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
when it tries to install the MTP drivers, regardless of USB Debugging being enabled or disabled
and I cant mount the USB in CWM either, brings up an error like 'e:Unable to opem UMS lunfile (No such file or directory)'
Having had a poke around I cant seem to find a solid 'yes do this' or 'No your boned'
any help is muchos appreciato!

This is because the Galaxy Nexus doesn't support UMS mode anymore, since it no longer has a partition exclusively for media, so it can't mount it. MTP or PTP is what is used to transfer files via usb now.
Try see if there's any 3rd party programs that let you use MTP, Google provided one for download for linux and mac iirc.
If your PC doesn't support MTP try Airdroid from the market. It gives you access to your phone over a wifi connection using your browser.

Dang! Looks like (since this PC is naff) Ill be transfering the .zips to my SGN tonight on my Mac, ah well it be rite lol
Thank You!

I was able to plug and play on my XP machine.
Also, cwr doesn't support mounting yet on the gnexus.

Wifi Explorer is nice too. That's what I use to transfer between devices.

[Q] MIUI rom problem

after install the rom of MIUI
SD device is not work again,even can't connect to computer
anymethod to write the backup to the GN,does adb shell work?????
1) Gonna need more information to help you.
1a) what MIUI rom did you install and how did you install it
2) what trouble shooting steps have you already taken
3) you should probably look inside the thread from the rom that you used. Also posting your problems in there will most likely get them answered quicker by people who use that particular rom or the developer.

Are you connected to your computer when trying to read the SD card...... that would prevent it and give you that error. Seeing the android icon in the corner makes me think so

Can i use the adb shell putting the backup into the "'internal'" storage

No it doesn't.. that is a feature of MTP you can use the phone and virtual SD even while connected to a computer.. it is a problem with the MIUI rom.

[Q] JB Update Giving me Forced CD Drive

I updated today to JB CID_044 Android Revolution HD 15.0. And now when ever I plug my phone into the computer I get 2 connected devices.
Portable Device 'EndeavorU' which I understand is the new mounting method
and
CD Drive 'HTC Sync Manager'
It is this one that has me confused. When I open it it contains many files that are for the new HTC Sync Manager, plus drivers, install files etc etc.
Why? and for what? I don't want HTC sync manager and I certainly don't want a reserved drive for the install files. I have not read about this anywhere else, so can someone please shed some light on it for me and how to get rid of it.
BTW I did install HTC sync manager recently but quickly uninstalled it!
Thanks in advance

They have done away with usb mass storage in JB and gone to MTP storage. A decent work around is to mount with CWM recovery or TWRP recovery
Also this has been discussed before mate

I understand that, I just don't understand the CD DRIVE business. The MTP works fine as a drive solution it comes up as a portable device that I can transfer files to with no problem. What I am saying is I get 2 a CD drive and a portable device

UPDATE:
After googling and searching finally I found the culprit, I don't need to upgrade my OS, just upgrade Windows Media Player into version 11. And work like a charm >__< I rarely using WMP so I don't need to upgrade it.

[Q] Is my SPH-L710 Toast?

Hi guys, I've been scouring Google for 3 days now and can't come up with an answer, everything says use Odin for this and use Odin for that... well I can't.
A few days ago I downloaded an app from the Google store Linuxonandriod or something like that, it's pretty much an installer to place Ubuntu on your phone side by side with Android, the instructions began with rooting the phone, I began that process and believe I accidently loaded the incorrect pda to the phone (I have so many files now on my comp, I have no clue which one I selected). Odin rebooted the phone and that's that.
If I try to turn on the phone it goes to the first screen that just says SAMSUNG then turns off, never getting to the Samsung Galaxy III screen. The USB on the phone seems to have been botched, none of my computers will recognize it (Windows or Linux), the phone will not even charge. I can however get into both recovery and download modes without problem.
Naturally, download mode does no good because the USB is useless and I do not have clockwork mod installed on the phone to bypass the verification error.
I tried to simply install clockwork via recovery in hopes that would do something, but I get a verification error with that.
Is there anyway around this using the SD card or am I holding a $300 paperweight?
Thanks

Thanks, for the link. I did check it out, but couldn't figure out what the poster was talking about with drive letters and such. That dmesg | tail told me nothing about my sd. I unzipped everything to the card by a different method but my the computer still wouldn't recognize the phone, so booting back into windows did nothing.
Sorry for the delay in response, I've been extremely busy with work.
I'm still at a total loss on this.

USB Connection

My computer doesn't at all acknowledge my S3 when I plug it in to a USB port. I have used different cables, Don't have access to other computers to attempt, and it doesn't show my nexus 7 2013 either. It is getting quite irritating, as my SD card won't mount either. It used to work flawlessly but now I have no luck whatsoever. It doesn't even have a hint of existence in Device Manager. It doesn't charge from my laptop either.
I am running CarbonROM with BMS Kernel, have researched, and found no potential fixes that have worked for me. I am open to almost everything, even a full return to stock with Odin. Any help will be very much appreciated.
EDIT: Please PM me or quote me so that I immediately know when someone responds.

Ok? Noob question, do the drivers deal with the hardware or software of my phone? If it is the software, it wouldn't work would it? Thanks.
Technically the only hardware is the port on the phone. If that's not working then it never will. Considering that it charges I would go to a TouchWiz ROM and see if the problem is your ROM.

Thank you very much.
