I used Titanium Backup to backup some game saves I had & found out not all of them got backed up so I have to start from scratch. I'm guessing some are saved on the internal storage is there any way of backing up those files?
backup internal
If you attach your computer to USB, choose Disk Drive option.
Then, in Windows Explorer, you can see both phone drives.
One (the internal you want) may be named HTC STORAGE.
Either way, you'll see both removable disks, and you can copy them
off for your backup.
Ok but the one your saying as the HTC STORAGE is actually the Phone Storage. There's 3 Drives I see on the phone Internal Storage, Phone Storage & the SD Card such as the removable disk.
3 drives
Yo, I've hooked up to XP, vista, and Win7 machines and only see 2 drives that can be accessed. Can you see data in those 3 drives you mentioned?
I don't see a Internal Storage drive

That must be a stock ROM setup??
Sorry for the mix up, I got confused it's actually a CD Rom drive. So is the Internal Storage part of the HTC Storage?

The first couple of times I plugged the Bionic into the USB port under the USB Mass Storage setting it showed the Internal storage as a drive labeled MOT as well as the SD Card labeled Removable Disk. It was necessary to move some restore data to the internal disk because the app could not find the data on the SD Card. It was necessary to do this with another app and Win7 popped up a Disk error for the internal storage drive. Now Win7 cannot access that disk. I had errors on the SD Card on my Droid1 and was able to take the card out of the phone and put the card directly into the Win7 card reader and do an Error Check and Repair. Any ideas on how to do an error repair on the internal storage disk on the Bionic?

Does your Bionic have ext4 partitions ? You can run e2fsck .

So I connected my Sd card with my computer the other day, and I used Paragon Partition Manager. Didn't think too much before doing it. SD card won't show on windows, but can see it in my phone.
Also, my phone's internal storage is showed as a portable mediaplayer. Why won't it show like a external drive? Thanks for the help.
EDIT: Forgot to mention. I have all USB drivers installed.
Hi, I'm using a n7000 Slimkat 4.4.4 rom, with slim kernel 3.0.80+ autobuild.
Previously I used link2sd to create a partition on my SD card to get more space on my internal, and after a while I realised my USB storage is being recognised as an SD card. I tried a full wipe and reinstalled my rom but now even the internal storage is messed up. Not even the reformat works anymore
It's too complicated to explain in words so here are the screenshots. So how f**ked am I and how do I salvage this?
Each time I link files into the card (700mb size, it worked previously) it freezes the whole phone
From the storage option I can see this:
1. Internal storage 2GB (normal, nothing wrong with it)
2. Internal storage 11GB (this should be USB storage, and it has a erase SD card option at the end)
3. SD card 2GB (It was 4GB but I used link2sd to create an internal partition. MTP and mass storage is not detected but using card reader it is fine)
4. USB storage (there is only a mount and erase SD card option which is greyed out/unclickable and does not has any space indicator)

help!! I need an application that allows me to handle the internal memory of my phone samsung s3 international version from the PC as a mass storage device and not as multimedia .
If your trying to say to convert an sd card into internal storage, change your rom to to an android 6 based one (i.e CM13) and there is this sd card setup allowing to let you use it as portable or mass storage.

I'm around trying to say that I want to use internal storage memory of the phone as a mass storage drive , I tried some apps does not work
Oh, that isn't really possible. A phone cannot be converted into a mass storage drive for PC. You will need a proper hard drive in order to do it.
Hi I am Rupesh from India and I have a PC and redmi note 4 with 64 GB internal storage. I want to transfer files between redmi note 4 and PC but can't. I am getting a number of errors while transferring in various situations.
I have a folder in external SD card which contains 500 mp3 files of size 2.5 GB. I have tried to move these files to a folder in PC and unfortunately 150 files are transferred properly with correct size and remaining 350 files are copied with zero size for all files. Finally I have lost 350 files in SD card so I have tried to recover using data recovery software in redmi note 4 itself but failed. In order to transfer these files I have compressed them after that copied the resulted zip file to PC and succeeded.
I have three text files in a folder of PC. First I have selected these three text files and selected copy option after that I have connected the phone to PC and selected transfer files option after that in internal storage I have made right click and I can't find paste option and even I have pressed Ctrl+v and no use. I have tried to copy these text files to lenovo a3000 internal storage which is connected as USB storage and successfully completed.
Previously I have tried to copy 2000 mp3 files of size 9 GB and unfortunately 1500 files are copied and remaining left un copied.
Suppose if I want to copy a folder containing 1000 files from PC to redmi note 4 and the phone already contains 500 files. I want to copy remaining 500 files and skip already existing files. I have tried copy and paste and it asked confirmation to replace existing files or not and I have selected no and after that the paste process is taking lot of time. If I try to copy these 1000 files to an empty folder of phone storage the paste process is taking less time than above.
I have used a number of android phones and tabs and all of them have an option to mount storage as USB storage in PC but redmi note 4 doesn't. Can anyone of you suggest how to mount internal storage or external SD card as USB storage. Is there any android app which allows mounting as USB storage.
My PC runs Windows 8.1 pro and my phone runs MIUI 9.
Is there any PC companion suite specifically for redmi note 4 which allows transferring files between redmi note 4 and PC with minimum errors.
Regards,
Rupesh.
Is it possible to transfer huge amount of files between PC and redmi note 4 using the software specified above.
At present I have rooted my phone and installed custom recovery and so is there any firmware or app in order to mount internal and external storages as USB removable storage drives.

USB storage? Like the normal "transfer files" option, or MTP storage (USB debugging option)? You can use TWRP and I think that mounts both drives as USB storage.
Did you convert your SD card to internal storage? Or is it portable storage? When you take the SD card out and insert it into your computer, do you have access to your files, or no? If not, it's configured as internal storage.

USB storage I mean I want to use it as normal USB removable storage like pen drive. Up to now I have connected my phone to computer by turning on USB debugging option.
In mtp mode file transfer is taking lot of time that too error prone. Suppose I want to copy a directory containing 100 sub directories and 2000 mp3 files from PC to my internal storage and when I try to paste and it will ask do you want to skip already existing file's and when I select yes it is taking up to 1.5 hours just to skip already existing file's.
In mtp mode when I connect my phone to PC in Windows explorer I am able to see an entry called android phone and when I enter into it I am able to see two entries called "internal storage" and external SD card. I have another android device ie., tablet called lenovo a3000 h and when I connect it to my PC I am able to see two entries with new drives for internal storage and external storages like g: drive for internal storage and h: drive for external storage. When I try to copy files from PC to my tab the file transfer is very fast without any errors and also skipping existing file's is also fast. The tab is running ice cream Sandwich and my phone is running nought.
My external SD card is portable I mean I am able to access the files present in it when I connect it to PC using card reader. The problem is my phone ie., redmi note 4 is a sealed piece I mean if I want to take SD card out I have to use a needle.
I think that you have understood my problem and so can you try to suggest how to connect my internal and external storages as g: and h: drives.

If you want to use it as normal removable storage, that's called portable mode. When you first inserted your SD card into your device, it might have given you two options: format as portable storage or internal storage. Those are the options I was presented with on LOS 15.1. I don't know how it works on MIUI.
If portable storage, then your SD card should show up as another entry when you connect your phone to your computer. If internal storage, only one entry shows (since your SD card is combined with your internal storage). Since I formatted my SD card as internal storage, it shows up as one entry when I connect and select the "Transfer files" option.
In TWRP, the SD card and internal storage show up as two distinct entries (I guess that's just how TWRP works).
It sounds like there's something wrong with your SD card, IMO. Remove it to the phone and insert it into the computer by itself. Format it, then put it back into your phone and see if that fixes anything.
