Can't transfer data via USB on CM9 or CM10 on Mac OSX

So I've tried flashing both CM9 and CM10 roms but no matter what I do I can't get it to recognize my sdcard or my internal storage on my Mac. I've even tried formatting the card to fat32 and still nothing. Any ideas what I should do to get this to work? How is it working for you guys? I would post this in the CM threads but I rather not clutter it with questions. Thanks in advance

What do you mean it won't recognize your sdcard? The recovery won't read it? If so, which recovery do you have?

When connected, you should get a notification telling you that your phone is connected via USB.
Select it, and make sure that it's connected as PTP.
MTP does not work on Macs.

Well its readable cause I can still download stuff to it from the web but it just will not mount on my Mac. It'll give me an option on my phone from the notification but android file transfer won't recognize it

The recovery definitely reads it cause that's how I revert back to my nandroid back up

Sounds like you should just invest in an external SD card reader. Or look into wireless file transfer even though I don't trust that when it comes to transferring roms... I don't use macs so I'm little help lol.

Thats exactly what I use when Im on FREE GS3 rom, but whenever I switch to a CM9 or CM10 rom it just doesnt mount. Im starting to think maybe its the kernel CM based roms are using

PTP currently does not work on Cm9/10 roms, which is why your having problems it is the main reason keeping me away from using either one as a daily driver for now

Any updates on this? I'm using the latest CM10 nightly - it would sure be nice to be able to connect to my Mac.

Being a Mac user I know the issue you are talking about. I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate on a Boot Camp partition. In finder open Applications-Utilities-Boot Camp. There will be a printable tutorial. The Boot Camp application literally walks you through the process. I have found this method far better than running a V.M.

still no fix?

Hi
Hi,
Im using the latest S3 CM
ANd this seems to work for me
1. Install Kies.
2. In kies go to tools and use the option to reinstall drivers.
3. Install Android File transfer
4. Reboot mac
5. Connect your GS3 and run Android File transfer
Works for me.
Cheers

Root without PC?

Is it possible to root the Nexus without a computer?

There was a way to install adb and fastboot an Android tablet or another phone a while back. Although I am not sure if it is still possible (the sdk updated, and I am not sure if they updated). Edit for clarification: Which if it is, you could use a tablet and an OTG cable to achieve root. Which technically would mean you don't need a PC.
Though, to actually answer your question, no you need a computer.

I can't I have some issue where it won't work on anything but charging. I don't know what the problem is, I think it's the battery.

Solve that problem then. Try different cables, different USB ports (if on desktop try one on the back of the PC). Try uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. Try another PC.
If all of that fails, it may be a hardware issue with the phone.

You can use superboot. And chainfire's supersu is flashable in cwm isn't it?

Yes, but how would you get a custom recovery on the device that isn't rooted, without using a computer?

Doesn't ROM manager do that? It did on my cappy! Booya Biaatch! No but I hope it works for you. No seriously. I do.

[TOOL]adb_pusher(for windows)

I've made this simple and small tool seeing some people have bricked their devices BUT are able to access TWRP.
For some reasons they don't use the usb_otg, might it be they don't have the otg cable or something other, doesn't matter.
Maybe they aren't familiar with command prompt(command line), adb etc.
Q) What does this tool do ?
A) It let's you choose the desired rom, then checks if the device is connected and finally pushes the rom.zip to your internal storage.
Q) What does this tool NOT do ?
A) It doesn't install the rom.
You may add comments, questions, requests or graphic_design_help since my gui sucks badly.
Some prerequisites have to be met, adb driver should be installed. If you have ever rooted successfully that should be covered then

Thx for comment m8 . It's a 1 hour project so it can only be expanded with more features (should come handy for new users i hope). I've already seen what I can improve..(well..like I said..1 hour project )

Though I don't have this device, i must say you have made life simple for many. Thank you bender.

Hmm. Depends on which version you had installed. I think TWRP supports OTG since 2.6.3.x (not sure which version)

Hmmm maybe... I had twrp 2.6.3 and as I was worried about the device I didn't know what am I doing. I downloaded all the rooms requiring latest twrp and those didn't flash... Then I thought about adb sideload which I had totally forgotten... Then I first updated recovery via sideload then flashed paranoid Android xD

Either a running android system with enabled usb debugging
or
just enter twrp recovery(you don't need to select adb sideload), just connect it while in twrp.

it would be great to have a tool like All-on-one toolkit by @spyrosk that made everything easier on Optimus 2x...

Will take a look into it. Might need some testers then and graphic designers so if the tool fails I can always say: "Yeah, sorry, but look at the graphics m8." jk

May be an option to dump baseband to sdcard can be added along with a way to backup efs partitions. That would prove gr8 for restoring jb from kk or flashing kk after jb @bender_007. Just a suggestion

USB otg support in 5.0?

didn't think about that. thanks. so did they take OTG support out of the stock rom?

AFAIK it was never there. I've always had to use Stickmount on the Nexi from day 1 (N7, N7-2013, &N10).

Oh OK. I was running cm11 before 5.0 and it was there so I assumed it was stock

USB otg works on stock KitKat for me via es file explorer

Question about Xposed Framework.

I just rooted my HTC 10 and installed Xposed and got the Youtube Adaway Module. My previous phone was a Z3 where I had used GravityBox which ran fine. Since this is my first HTC device will the GravityBox MM work for this device or is there an alternative besides GravityBox.
Thanks Again.

As I remember GravityBox is programmed to run on and with AOSP based ROMs. Now when it comes to HTC, stock ROMs aren't AOSP based. I never used it myself though and I'm a long time HTC user. If you want you can try it if course, but should perform a backup prior to doing so.

Just tried and it works, only needed GravityBox to show the AM/PM and change the battery icons. Can't say about the other features on it as I only needed these two functions. Also got Xposed working with greenify, and Youtube Adblock. Looks like I am good to go for a while!

Sounds as if. Have fun with your new 10!

Most GB features work. Lock screen features don't due to a non AOSP lock screen.
Adaway works.
Wish we'd get Sense Toolbox. Missing my secure lock screen.

Okay thanks... I just flashed v84 sdk23 arm64 and it gave me "Updater process ended with ERROR: 1 what did you do to get your xposed working? thank you

first off, I mean this the best way possible. You need to be both more clear and more complete in your posts and questions. I could (and many would) very much give you a hard time but will try to help you.
1. If I'm not mistaken, that is a TWRP error. You can do a forum or google search and you'll find many threads about it with options.
2. Post the TWRP log so we can see what happend, or take a screenshot so we can see exactly what the output text on the screen was before the error.
3. Are you using TWRP? I assume so if you're on an HTC 10.
4. I simply flashed the proper exposed module in TWRP.
Long story short way too many variables to simply answer your question. You could wipe the cache and reboot into recovery, re copy the .zip to your SD or adb push it over. and reflash

If you look at the screenshot it tells you exactly what the problem is. Did you even read it?
Tell us what it says directly before the error?
"system mounted as read only file system" - you didn't mount as read/write. You have to mount R/W for SU and anything like this you're going to flash.
Try again, this time set the system to mount as R/W and be sure to read and watch what you're doing.
People are here to help but the trade-off is you must make efforts and not solely rely on others to solve your problems.
