When I open UMS 1.6.2 (an older versions), it crashes with à message about FUSE kernel ans other mass storage things.

Here is the logcat :

Do you plan to correct the issue, or is my phone just not compatible with UMS ? (I saw a message about flashing kernel, what's that ?)

So I've encountered a big issue on many of my phones and different firmwares.

When copying files from my computer on my phone with MSC mode, I've lost many files, others were corrupted, others were in LOST.DIR folder but not restorable, and finally, some folders were on the card but not accessible, anyway, a big issue.

Some of these copy issues disappear temporarily when rebooting the phone, when others have no solutions...

But good news : I've found a workaround.
If I unmount my SDCard from the phone before activating Mass Storage mode in the app, there is no problems at all, AMD I've tested that for months !

I've got that idea of unmounting SD Card because on my older phones, before MTP mode was predominant, I used MSC mode and it was unmounting the SD Card on the phone , which was never connected on both phone and PC.

So I suggest that you add a SAFE MSC MODE in the home of the app (or as an option, check box...), which would automatically unmount SDCard as soon as Mass Storage is activated, and which would REMOUNT Sd Card when MSC mode is deactivated in the app.

I really hope it's feasible, and thank you for that great app.

Hello, I use a Xperia Z5C and would love to use USB MSEnabler but alas nothing in the options I alter seems to work. The drive F: shows up on Windows PC, as a Mass Storage device, all good, but it's empty when I click on it (please insert media). It's like the microSD card isn't mounted properly.

I found another app called "USB Share"[ os.devwom.usbsharereval , that needs the android device date's to be changed to jan 2017 otherwise trial period is expired :S) that allows me to mount the microSD card as a virtual image and share it as Mass Storage device, and it works. On PC I can access it as Mass Storage device. But there are 2 issues, the microSD card is mounted as read only, and having to set the time to Jan 2017 for the app to run isn't ideal either :/

What I notice though is that this "USB Share" app is mounting the microSD card as:
/mnt/media_rw/1471-1AEA

So I tried to replicate this in UMS 1.62 but I just cannot select 1471-1AEA ....
At /mnt/media_rw/ when browsing from inside UMS 1.62, the media_rw folder is just empty...

Android 7.1.1, SELinux set to permissive, UMS 1.62 has root, everything seems to be in order but it just doesn't/cannot mount my microSD.
I'll be happy to provide any detail you require / test any builds you throw at me..
Please help :)
Thanks.

edit: Attaching a file which may help making UMS 1.62 compatible with Sony Z5 family series (I believe anyway ^^). It was generated by the "USB Share" app mentionned above.

I've an issue to write about SD mounting and a new mode but I first want to know if you don't have abandoned the app ?

Thanks.
