[Q] Unable to access USB storage on Nexus S - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a GT-i9023 Nexus S. Already rooted. Have CWM installed.
Now I am trying to access USB storage to get my files before I install another ROM and it just can't mount USB storage in CWM.
I tried connect my Nexus S via USB cable to my computer, it appears to detect my phone but no USB Mass Storage comes up so I can't access my files using Windows Explorer.
Now my phone has only CWM, no ROM installed.
Is there anyway to access my USB storage so I can backup my files, put a ROM (zip file) into the USB storage and then I can flash it using CWM.

Now I am in CWM.
I go to "mounts and storage - mount /sdcard"
Respond "Error mounting /sdcard"
So I try "mount USB storage"
Respond "E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)"
What should I do?

[Q] TWRP Recovery to OTG USB drive

Hey all,
I have an OTG cable and am able to mount USB drives while the phone is operating normally (jb stock, rooted). However, I'm not sure how to access the USB drive using the latest TWRP for skyrocket. I'm on TWRP 2.5.0.0
TWRP works great, but "external sd" is my microsd card, and internal sd is the built-in memory. I thought mount USB was the way to go, but that just mounts the storage on the PHONE onto a computer.....
Any ideas?

bricked?

The internal memory has been formatted. I cant get the External SD to be mounted. I have the newest version of CWM I also cant mount so that my PC will see it. I have the Motorola USB drivers installed.At this point I am lost. Any help will be nice.Thanks all.

Transferring files from internal storage in recovery mode?

Hello, I got some problem booting into the ROM but I want to transfer files from the internal storage to my computer. What can I do? Since in recovery mode, I can only mount the USB mass storage which is the external storage. Thanks.
Which ROM and what phone? What issue do you have with your ROM? Are you rooted?

can your phone use the cwm't mount sdcard?

it can't work with our Nexus5?
since we dont have a sdcard, how could you mount it as such?
The "mount /sdcard" command mounts the /sdcard (actually /data/media/0) to the recovery not to your pc if that's what you think?
The "mount USB mass storage" option wont work because the nexus 5 has no external sdcard slot and /sdcard is not a true partition,.its fuse so cannot be mounted

Unable to mount internal storage

I did a clean flash of Nobel Rom 3.0 which is a cool ROM but since then I am not able to see the internal storage. ES Explorer says its not mounted and when i connect the phone to PC the storage is also not mounted.
I can however see the storage when in TWRP and can also then mount to PC.
