Is your phone rooted - otherwise you have sometimes no chance to do such a thing (you have to less right to view anything)!
Other wise switch do debug mode ! then you should have access with a terminalprogram over usb!

It seems that, like on the Atrix, /mnt/sdcard is your internal storage, while /mnt/ext_card is your real sdcard. You can verify this if you check their seizes: You know the size of your sdcard, so you should be able to point that out. The internal will probably have a size which is not a multiple of 8 (most likely, it will be 6 GB or the like).
If you are unsure how to check this, you could e.g. use SanDisk Memory Zone1 or, even better, Storage Analyser2, which should make it easy to point out:
Yes I rooted

So I've been trying and trying to change MTP to a UMS all day, I've finally figured out how to get my SD card to change to UMS which is cool but I want my internal memory to show up as well. I need to back up my entire internal memory, I also don't have enough space to move everything over to my SD card.
Now, the reason why I don't want to use MTP is because it transfers way to slow and for some reason a lot of folders and files are not showing up when connected to my PC but I could see them fine on the phone with root explorer or something similar.
Any ideas on how to get all drives to work as UMS or get all my files to show up using MTP.
kinda getting fed up already researching it.
nevermind i just used FTP :-/
UMS on JB?
Hey Skeltergrave,
You managed to activate UMS on Jelly Bean? I thought it was not possible, could you share how you did it? I want to connect my phone to my stereo and it's just not possible without UMS!
Also did you did this on stock rom? Or some custom rom?
Thanks in advance!

Hey!
I did it on the stock Rom, but it only works for the SD Card. You could try it if you'd like. I'm not sure if it'll work for any other device then a PC but it's worth a shot. I followed this tutorial for the Atrix HD.
Since your not going to use it for your computer I don't think you'll have to follow the PC instructions.

Let me know how it goes buddy.

Hello, I don't know why that in the storage menu, it shows that I have 5.51GB left out of 10.36GB. However, it says that I only used 2.68GB of storage for application with some little storage for media files and miscellaneous files. By common sense, I should still have about 7.68GB of storage space. So, where is the other 2.17GB? However, in the Application manager screen, it shows that I have 7.6GB of free which is correct. However, on the computer, it still says that I only have about 5.41GB left. What is going on???
In the app manager is the true one. It show 5GB free in pc bcause maybe u delete some file while ur phone still connected to pc.

Maybe, but the embarrassing thing is that even I format the SD card and reboot the device, I still can't see the 2GB on the storage screen and on the PC as well. These screeshoot are taken after I formated the phone and rebooted it.

Mmm... Found the problem... It was the cache of my Google Current app that caused problem. Just cleared it and the free space of the storage menu boosted back to 2.37GB; pretty close to 2.7GB.

I need to recover the photos of an assailant that smashed my phone before the auto upload . this is my only evidence. When I connect the phone you would have to check other than charge only to view the drive can I get into the storage ?

Does your computer detect the phone when plugged in at all? You might be able to ruu up to a firmware that has mtp device and doesnt require you to change to a data transfer mode.
I cant think of any other way to bypass this
Mass storage I think is what you're asking?
Sent from my One X using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Mass storage won't work because you need to be able to see the screen to select it, Exad was correct in suggesting an RUU up to a custom with MTP because MTP is automatically active upon connection.

Hello !!
Google just brutally pulled out USB Mass Storage, not a good thing for users who don't root their phone. As you all know that MTP (Media transfer Protocol) is slow and frustrating and neither USB Mass Storage works on Nexus 5 so is there any way to transfer files at "HIGHEST POSSIBLE SPEED" between Nexus and PC ??
I'm tired of hunting, some help would be great Sagar Khanapurkar
Thank you )

They didn't just "brutally pull out" mass storage at all. Mass storage can still be used if you have an actual sdcard.
The problem is in fact that if you use the fuse file system to share /sdcard data space, which is the only method that works well, mass storage would be impossible.
Unfortunately this means that we're stuck with MTP and we all share the same issues. It needs vast improvement. This is a bi-product of using fuse unfortunately. You can't mount usb ass storage a fuse /sdcard because its on the /data partition and you cannot rip the data partition out whilst its in use, which is what mass storage would require
You have 2 options. Adb push / pull (see thread available via my signature) or using WiFi to transfer.
There are loads of apps that are available to do transfer over the network. Personally I just use a file explorer. Fastest? Adb because its wired but its not the simplest

I'll go with adb push / pull !! since it's the fastest available source.

Have a look at my thread "adb and fastboot. What is it?" Which you can get yo via the sticky thread on my signature.
I've not used it unrooted so I can't say if /data/media/0 works or if /sdcard is better. But please let me know how you get on.

Can't I just pull /internal storage (( I know adb will be having different parameters)), but what I want to do is pull each and every single file which is on my 32 GB Nexus, I don't want system files, all I want is my files... ?

Your files are on /sdcard which mounts on /data/media/0
Not really sure what you're asking. I haven't mentioned system files, which you wouldnt be able to access without root anyway.

Yeah, OP, just `adb pull /sdcard/ <dest folder>`.
How can I use my OnePlus One as USB mass storage device? I dislike MTP.
I do like this-
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Connect to PC
3. Enter recovery mode
Now drivers will load automatically and you can exchange data in Mass Storage Mode.

Really? It will be detected as a USB drive??? Is this with a particular recovery or will TWRP do it? I'd like to add a partition to my phone that will contain a bootable Linux distribution so that I can use my phone as a rescue disk. Would this be possible?

Hi. I am using latest TWRP recovery and Oneplus is responding well invariably.
I have not tried adding partitions and also dont know much about it.
Goodluck if u r planning to try it.

Will look into this. Thanks!
I just looked into it and got nothing. It talks over usb, but no USB Mass Storage support (reading Linux dmesg to test). I looked over TWRP, and it looks like the disabled USB Mass Storage when Android shifted away from having a separate FAT filesystem you could mount under Windows. Your SD Card is now a directory under /data and most kernels don't have the ability to even export USB Mass Storage anymore because, as ext4, Windows will tell you that the drive is unformatted and ask you to format it for you!! And that would mean losing the entire /data partition. Basically USB Mass Storage is gone. I'm thinking with a custom kernel and maybe compiling TWRP myself, I might be able to get it back, but its going to be far from trivial. I think the end result (a recovery system that I can boot a PC from in an emergency with plenty of tools) will make a great addition to my phone.
TWRP is supposed to support MTP now, but its not working for me. I end up using USB OTG for "bare clean wipe" flashes.
Any news? Unfortunately, since it was upgraded to lollipop I can not connect the OnePlus one to my car radio as a removable disk. It remains uncomfortable leaving your phone in recovery to use UMS
