[Q] Enable USB Storage via ADB


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if it is possible via adb to see what the status of youre USB connection to your streak is in?

I ask because I have had this problem several times now> I plug in my streak to the PC, I recognises it via a notification sound > I can go to adb devices and it returns my device serial number> but when I select turn on USB storage it doesn’t show in the PCs explorer pane? :huh:

Anyone have any ideas?

adb gives you access through /sdcard so you don't need to mount it.

just

adb shell

cd /sdcard

So just use the 'push' 'pull' method to transfer files?

Its puzzling as to why its recognised via adb but not via explorer - i'm thinking it must be something to do with the usb drivers but adb and fastboot are working so i dont really want to mess with it too much.

Just wondering if anyone else had a similar issue- its probably my PC tho

its standard behaviour with adb from what I understand.

Thanks for youre input on this fards.

However - for file transfers i have always used the USB to the PC then used the PCs explorer to transfer files to the phone SDCard

Doing this now with my HTC Magic and its the same as with the streak - which says to me its something to do with the USB drivers.

Next port of call - try a different USB port
