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.
Damn MTP

I hate to start a "OMG ITS NOT WORKING" Thread. But im just plain stuck.
Im trying to get to my sd card on my computer, to switch to my 4gb and to get the update.zip on it so i can root. But no matter what i do, it wont mount. My computer complains that the "USB Device not recognized" and loads a bogus driver. Ive been trying to get it figured out but nothing so far.
Anyone else have this problem? Any one know how to fix it?
hope this helps

No help :O( i dont get whats wrong.
what happens when you plug in the usb cord? Are any external drives shown on your computers file/drive viewer (my computer, etc)? If so can you open those drives, if not what does it say?
the way it should work is.
-DL the drivers here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7218057
-install the drivers on your PC
-hookup phone to PC via the provided usb cable
-on the phone drop down the notification bar and MOUNT the SD card.
-open My Computer or other file viewer
-see two external drives one the internal with about 13GB of total space and one the SD card with 2GB of total space
-add remove files from cards
I did all that. When i plug it in, my computer says "the usb device is not recognized" and proceeds to load a bogus driver. Ive installed the debugging driver, nothing. nothing shows up in my computer for the sd card, OR the phones own flash memory.
I have 3 separate android phones, never had this problem before.
try connecting the phone to your pc again. Make sure that on your phone, that youre using the mass-storage option. Next look at the top of your phone, and pull down the header bar. and click on the "usb connected" option or whatever it says, and then choose "mount" when it pops up.
That's how your actually turn on the mass-storage. dont know why its like this, thought it would be automatically done after chosing the mass-storage option.
I am having the same issue. Installed drivers but can't access the drives.
It does automatically set it self for mass storage, but the computer for some reason isnt seeing it. im pretty sure its a driver issue. or the usb port on the phone maybe bad... that would be annoying.
Hey all,
So I just ran ClockworkMod (2.5.13) and wiped my Vibrant in preparation for the new Bionix. I have found that on my phone I had to wipe sdcard too or it wouldn't wipe fully. The problem: ClockworkMod won't let me mount USB storage or mount sdext so I can't figure out how to get the new ROM on the phone. Voodoo is also enabled and I can't seem to disable it without a working ROM on the phone.
When I plug the phone into my PC the "H" and "I" drives automatically pop up but are inaccessible. Mounting USB storage in ClockWorkMod appears to do nothing.
Any ideas? Thanks!
ohhhhhhhhh
I had the same problem last night but i thought my PC was acting up. I guess it has to do with CWM, but idk why.
What i did was copy the ROM on my external sd card, then put it on the phone and move them to internal sd card
Hope that help
you can use adb to push file to your phone.

CWM won't let me mount SDEXT. Is there something special I have to do to get this to work?
You may have to pull the sd card and use an external card reader.

ADB did the trick. I didn't realize it could push to the phone like that. Easy cheesy. Thanks!
And as for external SD card reader - this doesn't do anything to help transfer a file to the phone. Recovery was unable to mount SDEXT. I can't find any documentation on the matter, but I assume this is a Vibrant-related issue?
Hi, I just have the exact problem on my galaxy note. Trouble is that I can't find a way to connect to my phone through ADB. It just isn't listed when I type "adb devices". I would appreciate any help so I could "push" a rom and be done with it.

Check Applications/Development/Enable USB Debugging. If that is on, make sure you have the necessary drivers on the PC.
As for mounting via CWM, that should work if CWM gives the option. Again, check drivers on PC.
Can anyone tell me why when I connect in Media Transfer Mode, my SD Card reads as blank in Windows. Windows detects the phone AND the memory card but it is blank. You can create folder, files etc on the blank card but they dissapear also.
However, if you connect the phone in Mass Storage Mode or remove the card and plug it into PC, everything works fine. The card also works fine in the phone.
Windows 7. 16GB Card that came with the Play.
ps. the card data usage is reading as correct even though I can't see anything on it in Media Transfer Mode.
reinstall pc companion check my thread about mtp app it should explain everything on how to bring back everything
The blank problem is because the driver are not correctly installed.
Ok, thankyou.
Weird, followed your excellent thread and done a reinstall but still blank.
yeah weird... you are sure that everything is available on mass storage mode ?
if it's the case then maybe your data are hidden on the device...
Check if there is folder without a dot at the start of the name (non hidden folder)
put new files and see what happen
Run a chkdisk on your SDcard with windows on mass storage mode
get andexplorer and check if everything is available through this app
windows might be infected by a virus that put your SD in a weird state
do a virus check...
Last if nothing above works: media transfer mode on your xplay> go to printer and other device on PC > right click > properties > hardware tab > properties > driver > uninstall driver > follow mtp app guide again to reinstall the driver
after that report back here

Yep, all there. Phone is also detected fine in Media Transfer Mode in PC Companion (as R800).
Will do the rest when I get a moment, thanks for the help.

- I did this in Mass Storage mode and it works normally.

- Done, it is fine. I used Astro and all is there.

- Clean.

I'm doomed to use Mass Storage Mode!
Why doomed?
You want to get files from your PC or laptop to your Play, right?
That's what mass storage mode is for. That's what I use.
The only time I need to be in media transfer mode is to communicate with the Play with adb, having nothing to do with the SD card.
What exactly do you want here??
Maybe he didn't figure out how to mount the sd card to after choosing mass storage mode.
Remember you need to mount SD for accessing the file on the computer after setting mass storage mode
Ok, I guess it is not that big of a deal. Was just curious to getting it working as it should. It's not really gonna impact me.
Thanks for all your help kenshindono, your info and posts are very helpful.
Unlike DeadlyDazza who seems continuously rude and obnoxious.
Not really, i could understand if you had a crippling problem which prevented you from connecting your device for transfers.
But that's what mass storage mode is for, as far as I know, media transfer mode is for pushing with adb & using SE's media transfer PC software.
Hi i have an Htc Hd Mini with ICS in nand, i've broken the display and the touch doesn't work anymore! I want to recover images in internal storage with ADB pull command but i cannot remember where it is located the folder with the images.
And when i connect the device to the pc i cannot display it as masse storage, it charge only the battery! Please help me thank you
if you mean your SDCard contents.. why not pull SDCard from photon and use an adaptor or something else to connect to PC,
No no, the images are in the internal memory (the memory of the telephone) and i can connect the phone only with ADB (no mass storage or htc sync)!
This may help you:

If you have adb you could try Far Manager 2.0 with FARDroid plugin to see all your filesystem in the phone.
If you are not familar with FAR, pm me if you need help with it.
Thank you! I've downloade Far Manager and Fardroid plugin. Can you help me using this tool? I want to see the filesystem of my phone, but the touchscreen is broken and i want to save photos! Thank you again
I accidentally deleted some important photos which stored in my S4's internal SDCard. So I connected my phone to PC through USB cable, and plan to run some recovery tools from PC to get them back. However, when connected, my S4's identified as MTP (portable media device) rather than USB Mass Storage, therefore those recovery tools can't do anything.
I googled the net and found some apks that help my phone to switch between MTP/USB mode, however this method only works for external SDCard.
Any ways to retrieve accidentally deleted files? Thank you in advance!
p.s. I do heard about that flash TWRP in will help the PC identify the phone as a USB Mass Storage Device, is this true? If it's true, how do I do it?
Thx!!!

Thanks, but no this was exactly the app I used, it can't mount the internal card. If you read carefully the author also says 'It will never be able to export the internal storage on the device.' All my deleted pics are on the internal card so....
