They did away with "mass storage" after 4.1. MTP does the same thing, but you have to unlock your screen for it to show up on your computer. If you want to dig in to your system folders, I believe you can use ADB.

It's not possible.
Tell us about your purpose and we probably find a way to solve it in a diffrent way.

N4 USB mass storage

I read it is not possible to do USB mass storage on the N4 because you would need position to be fat32.. and read that if you do enable it you couldn't read the partition on windows as it's ext4..
I run Linux so I can read ext4 no problem.. so is there a way to enable USB mass storage to use in Linux?
I hate the options we have for USB support to transfer files as half the time it don't work in Linux, and if I use on windows on other people's computers you need to download drivers..
USB mass storage you don't need any special drivers..
I doubt it, but hopefully when nexus 5 comes out they will give us an SD card slot and USB mass storage!

Won't happen for Nexus 5. SD cards are not liked by Matias Duarte. And I think they've fully have moved to MTP. I do feel your pain win Linux. But you can get MTP to work. I have it working on my Ubuntu machine

I am using Kubuntu 13.10 and MTP is working very really well without issues, first Ubuntu version that have it working right for me.
You can also try Go-mtpfs which will mount the drive and you can manipulate the files just like UMS and using syncing app, but its not entirely bug free as of now: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/12/how-to-mount-android-40-ubuntu-go-mtpfs.html
I had mtp working, but seems only pictures and videos transfer.. no other file types..
Maybe I had something wrong..

Same here. I figured maybe I missed something. I have connected it using MTP and PTP. It will only allow transfer of pictures. I really need to know how to transfer files from computer to my phone. If I select zip to transfer it says not compatible. If I am connected to laptop and using Nexus 4 Toolkit, it recognizes the device, still can't manually transfer files though.
I've only been using Ubuntu for about a week and I'm having no trouble with transferring files via MTP. You need the Android SDK installed, just google it, I don't have a link. It seems to freeze up if I try to copy multiple large files, like a ROM plus Gapps for example, but it's fine if I copy them one at a time.

MTP Mode

Hi everyone,
i want to connect my Nook to my PC, which is running Kubuntu. I already activated USB Debugging but i'm not able to find the MTP Mode on the Nook. It's supposed to be under Settings - Device - Storage right? Under USB Storage there is only one option called "Mount SD card: Insert an SD card for mounting" which i can't activate. There are no other USB options. Could anyone please tell me how to switch to MTP? Thanks.
Edit: I'm using CM 10.2

First, you do not want USB debugging on if you want MTP. Second, the MTP should be under storage, but under the advanced setting when you press the menu key.

I usually use MTP mode but when I want to clean really internal memory and create folder / files, I prefer MSC mode ( USB Mass Mode ) :crying:

If you can enable USB debugging, you can pull it from the phone. This command pulls whole internal storage to the adb folder.
Code:
adb pull /data/media

From my phone or PC?
PC: 0 files pulled
Phone :device not found
Im on CM11 now.
It would be nice if I can restore a few pics.
There was more than 1000 pictures and now all files are gone.
Would Android not remove the mass storage mode it would be much easier -.-
Mass Storage feature is gone from Android itself, there is one app on the xda, that allows it, but I can't find it right now.
You said you have pictures on your internal storage, now you say they are all gone. What happened?
What do you mean by "From my phone or PC"?
I mean, from which terminal I should start that "adb pull..."
From the phone right?
I was in TWRP and there was an button" format data" or something like that and it formatted everything but I didint read that really.
There is an app which starts with the letter "S" but it´s not for the note 3.
Cant download it from playstore. no support.
Yeah I know, it makes everything very difficult
You are at dead end unless you find a good recovery program for Android. I am not familiar with those so I am unable to give advice on this.
I dont try anyome.
I can live without that pictures I think
But thanks for your help.
