[Q] ANY way of mounting internal storage to PC? (for data recovery) - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys.
I realize the SIMPLE answer here is probably no, but I'm in dire straits here.
I don't know how, but somehow, my xoom deleted all of my photos, now I honestly don't know if it was on my external sd or internal storage things got messed up, but I'm currently running a full deep recovery on my sd card to check there.
I'd also love to be able to do the same with the internal storage. Since they took away the USB mass storage thing, this seems 'improbable'. But I really need some of the wise wizards in here to tell me if there's ANY way - maybe an old kernel? maybe there's a way to do it with linux!? If anyone could help me, I'd let you name my first-born child

you should be able to see both the SD card and the internal card mounted when you plug in the USB cable, make sure you have the correct USB driver. Hope this helps..

yeah, the MTP protocol allows me to see it, no problems. But it needs to be mounted as mass storage device for data recovery tools to be able to get to work on it, since MTP doesn't give access to the actual file-system.

Deleted files in My Storage

Is there no way to take it back. I accidentally deleted it off when I connected it in my laptop using Vista Ultimate, so it is not synced. In Computer, I see it as a portable device, and inside there, there are 3 different folders \, My Storage, and Storage Card.
The files are fairly important to me... Anyway I can get it back?
first thing you need to do is NOT touch the storage card at all.. that is.. don't copy ANYTHING new on it.
now... download Active Recovery 7... read your storage card through a reader..
and you can recover the files..
Um, it is not storage card, it is the MY STORAGE from internal memory.

Try connecting your device as a card using some program. I don't remember which one. Maybe someone can enlighten you on a program that does that since I have no clue about any.
install nueMassStorage. declare connecting as a usb key rather than activesync.
it might let you use active recovery..
Thank you guys!
Thank you nir36 for the program!!
Though, I lost like 2 or 3 pictures because it was overwritten somehow? But I got msot of them back! Thank you! And very useful tool too!

Reg Issue?

Hi guys,
I have a T-Mobile Ameo 16Gb but im unable to see the internal storage on the device. All i have in the memory options are Storage Card. Not the internal storage.
Anyone got any ideas?
Presumably you don't have it connected to the PC in 'disk drive ' mode do you?
If that's the case then the drive is demounted from the mobile OS.
Have you tried a soft reet? It may also be worth going Start/settings/connections and tapping USB to PC and making sure Activesync is selected.
If none of that works then I'd try a hard reset and if that doesn't work the device is probably faulty .
Or... somebody has uploaded a rom from X7500/X7501, which does not have drivers for 16Gb Flash Drive.

Mounting internal storage as USB mass storage

Hi Guys, is there a way to mount the galaxy s3's internal storage as a USB mass storage device? As you know, currently when you connect to the computer, there are only two options: MTP and CTP. I know there is an app that does this for the external SD Card but I need it for the internal storage.
Thanks!
I use an app called SambaDroid. Once you connect to your phone you can map it as a drive using Windows. I use SyncToy to back up my stuff regularly, and although it's a lot of steps, it works pretty well.
If anyone has found a less labor intensive method, I would love to hear it.

[Q] Internal Memory of Oppo Find 7 a missing!

Hey guys!
I'm using Oppo Find 7 a (stock rom,unrooted,bootloader locked) . I removed my external card formatted it and put it back and for some strange reason my internal memory was missing. The partition for the apps storage(3.8 gb) is still in tact but my 9 gb internal storage space is just wiped out. Hence I've lost all my photos, videos and apps which were moved to sd card and also my app data. I formatted my external sd card separately using a card reader.
I've tried all the data recovery softwares online but all of them do not recognize my phones storage drives as they require it to be in usb mass storage but mine is mtp and my phone doesnt have any options to set it into usb storage mode. My USB debugging is switched on. Can any one help me recover my lost files?? Im trying to not use my phone much because i know if i do, the data will get over written and lost forever. What i need is for my internal storage to be read as a drive on my computer so that i could use a recover tool and get my data back. I would really like to NOT root my phone as its just 3 months old . Any other suggestion or help would be most appreciated . Thank you !

Corrupted my adopted SD storage during 5.1 update - is reformat my only option?

The update process hung for ages, so I restarted the device. This seems to have resulted in a corrupted sd card - which was being used as adoptable storage.
The tablet now no longer recognises that there's even an sd plugged in. If I connect it to my computer it seems like the partition table is still all there, but something fundamental has broken making it impossible to use the sd.
A brief Google seemed to suggest that, if it was even possible to recover the card, it would require reformatting. I'll do that if I have to, but I was hoping there was another option...

Most probably the update was taking long because ur sdcard isnt fast. I own a shield k1 with a 32gb extreme pro sandisk sdcard as adoptable storage full of games, the whole update took like 10min including the optimising apps part. And rebooting it midway of course corrupted its data that is encrypted specifically to your device, that's why it PC cant view its data (even the parts not corrupted). So ur best choice would be to format it.
Unfortunately, I think it must be properly dead. I tried to format it - in fact I didn't even get that far. When I went to delete the partitions in order to create and format a new one, cfdisk said the write had all worked, but, in fact, the old partitions remained intact. I tried some other software to re-partition it, but the result was the same.
no problem
use this app on windows ¨HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool v2.1.8 Español (Portable)¨
sure recover it
open with administrator
ever when i use win32diskimager , i need tu use only this program to recover all gigabites of my sd and usb memorys
sorry for my english im from spain!
good luck!!
