Yes You Can
If your phone is windows or android version then you can do this.

Hi all,
Been searching for a while but i cant seem to find the answer, im trying to make my phone appear on my pc so i can recover some files i accidently deleted, the problem is it will only show up as the storage card, i can get the phones memory to show up but only via active sync, so im just wondering is there a way to make the phones internal memory appear as a removable drive so i can run a recovery program on it?
Cheers

Not that I know of. Can you not run it via active sync?
or maybe vise versa?
When connecting as a mass storage device, the OS on your desktop/laptop takes control of that "removable disc" (can't access it via the phone). Only sd card - external storage can be available. I presume that the inner storage must be maintained by the phone at all times, when turned on.
You can however make a backup or modify files within the inner storage with a file explorer installed on your device (Resco explorer for example). Just make adjustments, to view hidden and system files.
I wouldn't advise you to delete or modify critical system files tho...

hi,
I tried various methods now to backup content of internal storage of my Nexus 4: Plain drag-n-drop in windows explorer, commandline adb pull, Android Commander with copy or pull. All methods fail at the point where they get tho a bunch of files like this one:
Code:
/storage/sdcard0/Android/data/com.ptvag.android.adacmapformembers/cache/web/b/20/http___ajaxmaps1.adac.de_Default.aspx_ajaxmaps_MapServlet_left_938290_top_7193029_right_1251027_bottom_6880292_width_256_height_256_profileGroup_hd_version_ADAC_TourPlanerEU_2012_2_hiddenLayers_Town
Yes, this are 280 characters and Windows (7) seems to allow only 256.
Are there other methods to backup internal storage?
Why don't you exclude that folder? Or even the Android folder entirely. There's nothing really important there that won't be re-generated/re-downloaded. It's not possible in Windows, but you can do it in any Linux distro. You can install Ubuntu in Windows if you don't want to re-partition your HDD and install Ubuntu natively on it.
Hi. I have Android 4.1.2, which is stock on my Virgin Mobile ZTE N9810 phone that is 4gLTE. It is also called Sprint Vital on Sprint. On the Android 4.1.2--when I hook it up to the PC via USB; it does not show folders like the app ES Explorer does on the phone. My problem is that older versions of Androids showed all files and folders on my Windows 7 H.E. PC. This version does not. I need to access the download folder on the sd card but can't. On the PC in Windows Explorer, it does not show all folders on SD card, including the folder "Download." I have a video on there that i need to transfer to my PC, but because it's not showing that folder, I cannot transfer the file. I can work around that, but don't want to. I want access to the Download folder. Tried searching in Windows Explorer too and it comes up empty. Don't understand why this is so different than older Android versions. Also tried to get to it from the Phone folder verse SD Card folder. Still no luck and cannot find mnt folder either with Android 4.1.2. Even tried changing the USB connection option, like "Install Driver", "Connect to PC Software," and "Media Device (MTP)"-default option.
Note: If I go to Phone/Download, images and pdf files are there-even though they are on sd card-, but this folder with a video is not. Also, I have Show hidden files and folders checked in windows explorer.
So in summary, I need to access the SD Card download folder on my PC from my phone through USB, but it is missing and folders do not show the same in Windows Explorer as they do in ES Explorer on the phone. It is almost like the phone chooses what to displayon my pc.

Hi there,
I've just bought a Nexus 4, with rom stock 4.4.2, unlocked & rooted.
I have a strange issue with storage, I have files that I can see on android storage (with ES File explorer or root explorer), and I can't see those files on Windows.
Here it is exactly what I've done under Windows 7 :
- Plug my phone with MTP or PTP
- Storage detected
- Copy a lot of files on the storage, we call those files "FILES1" (no images files).
- My files (FILES1) are on the USB storage under Windows.
- Copy all my photos, and process.android.media" crash, it seems to be a kitkat known bug.
- Tried to find a workaround on forum and I've clean data/cache of application "media storage".
- Not working at all and new bug appears ! Now on two different computer (Windows7), I can see the android storage but it's empty !
- On my phone it's not empty, with explorer, the files (FILES1) on the storage are present.
- Copy all my photos with Airdroid on the phone, we call those files "FILES2"
- Now on my Windows, I can see FILES2 (files copied after the empty bug) but no FILES1
- Via android explorer I can see that all the files are here and are working as intended !
I hope you understand my problem, this issue is really hard to explain.
Any ideas to see my FILES1 on Windows please ?
Any application to clean cache ?
Any idea of what's happening ?
Thanks
I don't fully understand the issue. Which files aren't showing, exactly? Have you tried rebooting the phone?
The issue is so strange it's hard to explain.
In fact, for resume, when I'm plugging Nexus 4 on Windows 7 USB, I can't see all the files on my storage :
On Windows, I can see the copied files after clearing data/cache of storage media android application
On Windows, I can't see the copied files before clearing data/cache of storage media android application
On Android (with file explorer), I can see ALL the files.
I've cleared data/cache of storage media android application because of the process.android.media hanging when copying images files.
Instead of repairing, it create a big visibility bug on my storage =(
Even with reboot, this files visibility bug persist.
Hello everyone!
Since week I've been desperately trying to get data - photos - back from my wp7 (nokia lumia 800) - from internal memory storage. The data was erased by Zune - with 'erase the Phone content'. After this acccident the phone's data hasn't been yet overrided. The data theoretically should be into device. This Nokia hasn't got UMS - USB Mass Storage mode.
My question is if there is hope to recover data? I've visited a lot of forums and I've tried the following steps:
A. Under Windows:
1. I installed MTPdrive and its equivalent PTPDrive. These programs didn't see my phone after connect it by USB.
2. I modified windows registry keys by regedit - Nokia Lumia 800 switched on MTP in 'My Computer'. It is appeared but it isn't by any recover data programs.
B. Under Linux - Ubuntu:
1. I attempt to recover photos by Foremost tool. I used mtp-tools and mtpfs and then mount device by command mount -a. I see my Nokia Lumia 800 and I have access to files at device. Unfortunatelly Foremost can't read the phone and didn't recover anything.
2. I read that mtp is protocol and it is too high level to manipulate it by any data recover tools. If I understand well there is no option for seek deleted jpgs with mtp protocol. This must be mounted as a drive /dev/... .
3. Can I mount internal memory storage like a drive but not like a mtp? Is there a way for parse mtp to drive file system or sth like this?
C. The Application installed directly on windows phone:
1. I heard about applications which can be server on the phone (Samba/WebDAV File Servers) . Then it can be mapped in Windows as a network drive (with letter) but I worried about overriding data on internal storage and I wonder if the network drive will be recognized by data recovery tools?
2. I can't believed there is no way to get access to this data on phone, I have cached data in Zune directory on my computer but in low resolution. Maybe this could help for recover photos from device?
I will be very greatful for any help.
