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.

[Q] ANY way of mounting internal storage to PC? (for data recovery)

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.

[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 !

The PC cannot recognized the internal memory like a storage media.

Hello all,
I'm new on this forum and I came here because I need your help.
I have a problem with a Lenovo 8080-H tablet, I want to recover some pictures that I deleted from the internal memory of the tablet by mistake.
But when I connect the tablet on the PC via a USB cable, that the internal memory can be recognized like a storage media, there is a problem, my operating system (Windows 10 Home), recognizes the internal memory like a YOGA TABLET 10 HD+ (Linux File-Stor Gadget USB Device) CD-ROM drive
I mention that I have also activated the USB debugging from the tablet and it still does not work!
Model Number: Lenovo B8080-H, Andoid version: 4.4.2;
Can someone help me, please?

Try changing the USB settings. Make it to M2P (media transfer protocol). It will then allow you to file share with your PC. Also if you deleted some pictures on your tablet, was it being backed up by google? If so you can recover it there.

It is already on MTP, but the internal memory cannot be recognized like a storage media and no, they were not backed up by google.
Can someone, please, help me?

Use diskdigger
If the photos are from internal storage...

Try installing the driver from the official site. And check the cable/PC that might cause the problem, I am not quite sure though.

Can I use my smartphone storage for both Android OS and Windows OS?

Can we ditch the HDD/SSD of PC and use smartphone storage instead?
Is it possible to create an NTFS partition in the smartphone storage that will be used as a bootable external HDD/SSD drive that can boot a PC?

Try this:
How to Recover Your PC Using an Android Device
PC won't boot? No other computer available to make a recovery USB? Here's how to create a bootable USB in Android without a PC.
www.makeuseof.com

I'm talking about using the phone's storage as the main storage also of a PC for daily use, not just for a one-time boot.

You would first have to find an old phone that has the ability to run mass storage. Then you can experiment.

You can install a Windows Emulator on your Phone.​Look inside here:

Why not on Windows PC install the Windows Subsystem for Android ( WSA ) and run Android OS natively directly on PC?

The point is to combine the phone storage and the PC storage to one storage, to be able to manage your data in one place.
Dividing the storage to (at least) 3 partitions:
1. Android OS
2. Data (Documents, Music, Video...)
3. Windows OS
You don't need to manage your Data twice.
All your Data and changes is available to you at home and on the road.
You don't need Cloud or Sync solutions.
Offline.

What you want to get achieved simply is impossible IMO: in any case a server as MITM-machine is needed.
Only to have mentioned it: both the Windows OS and the Android OS store files in incompatible filesystems.

Didn't know Windows can installed on portable drives... I feel this is mainly a Windows question. I remember there was such funny thing BartPE.

If I understand your question, try the Drivedroid app, it can be used to make an Android device function as a bootable drive to boot PC from the Android device.
Also, there are some methods to dual boot on Android.

I'm talking about a situation where everything happens simultaneously:
1. First partition serves the phone to run Android OS. (The phone works normally. You can have a call on the phone)
2. The second partition serves both the phone and the computer, for User Data.
3. The third partition serves the computer to run Windows OS.

@Stamimail please answer yourself first
3. have you ever installed any Windows on external usb hard disk/ssd drive? Is that even possible? Idk

Yes, a long time ago.
Also a short internet search shows that it is possible.

I see there such thing Windows to go.

probably easiest workaround is rooted android device with MicroSD card provided as UMS.

In further reading, I get the impression that the big problem is that internal storage always has better performance than external storage.
I don't know why external storage can't be made to be as good as internal.
So the question now is:
If people decide it's a good idea, is it technically possible to implement this idea (that phone storage will replace computer storage)?

you can repartition userdata partition with gdisk and create another partition. this partition can be provided as UMS.
However, windows is known for dancing rumba on disk, you probably won't have much fun till emmc is weared-out.
