[Q] Help: Mounting Internal memory as USB Mass storage

I spent the last 6 hours searching and trying all kinds of method to get the internal memory to come up as Removable drive so i can perform a file recovery.
I am currently using the Cm11. M2 snapshot from 1/4/14. Before i installed this app, i decided to try Cyanogenmod installer from their website. The installer doesn't let me select or do anything, as soon as the app runs, it started downloading, wiping your phone and installing whatever rom it download. I ended up using recovery mod to flash the latest firmware but now, everything on the internal memory has been wiped.
I have tried using apps that would enable USB mass Storage but no luck, i was able to get the SDcard to mount and shows up as removable drive but not the internal memory.
Please help!

[Q] Interal SD card not mounting on paranoid rom

Hi, I installed the Paranoidandroid rom on my xperia s, now the internal storage is not mounting - the only storage visible to the phone is the 2GB part.
The only way for me to access the internal storage is to mount it within cwm recovery and connect to pc to view on pc. It in inaccessible when the phone is booted into rom, and is also invisible to pc when in rom.
How would I go about fixing this?

Which version of the rom are you using? I'm on deedwars version 20140624 which he posted for testing in a separate post, not the OP. Ii can use the internal sd just fine. Also search the dev thread of the rom. This problem has been mentioned multiple times there, so the explanation and perhaps a fix should be there

Using 'Adopted Storage' can I install Custom ROM?

Is it possible to install a custom rom on my HTC 10 (bootloader unlocked, rooted) and keep the adopted storage option?
There are a distinct lack of options in TWRP when searching for zip files... I'm not sure what folder it actually shows, but in choice of location options I am given External SD (0Mb) and USB OTG (0Mb).
I couldn't get Xposed installed coz it wouldn't find the .zip file, until I took out the SD card and replaced it with one that wasn't previously used as adoptive storage. That had the .zip on, and it worked fine... I then replaced the original SD card and all seems OK, but I'm not sure this would work with a Custom ROM?
Any help/suggestions?
Cheers

Yes. When you boot into a freshly-installed ROM (and assuming you've wiped everything, as you should have), you'll have the option to set up adopted storage with your SD card, just as you did when you initially put it into your device.
This also assumes whatever ROM you install hasn't disabled adopted storage, but I can't think of any offhand that do.

Was going to try this at the weekend.......in theory it becomes 1 massive internal storage, but if twrp is only giving you option for external SD or USB it sounds like it doesn't support this new feature yet. I'm going to try it this weekend I'll post here if it works for me or not

Thanks, that sounds helpful. The only problem I have with that is getting the phone to find/read the ROMs .zip file. I'm clicking cancel on the first 'de-encrypt' popup in TWRP but then on second, swiping to allow system to be modified but for the life of me I can't seem to get it to find .zip files (originally bluetoothed over, but then moved via Root Explorer - set to RW mode - into various folders within system)

Flashing new ROM on a shared internal storage SM-P605 - Solved

I looked everywhere before I tried this today and found very little info so I thought I'd post my successful dirty flash of LineageOS.
I've been using Unofficial LineageOS on my Note 10.1 (2014) LTE (SM-P605) for a little while now and it has rejuvenated my tablet. Recently I integrated the SD Card (64GB) to internal storage (16GB) and now storage is listed as 73.15GB. However updating LineageOS became a problem in TWRP 3.0 as TWRP doesn't see the 'downloads' folder etc... because the SD Card is no longer external storage and TWRP can't read it, doesn't see it as storage at all actually.
But I solved this by putting the OS and vendor images on a USB drive and used an OTG adapter which TWRP can use. ADB and Fastboot work fine, by the way, with the SD Card as internal storage. As I understand it the ROM, system, vendor, radio, bootloader partitions etc... are still on the 'real' internal storage so my updates have gone smoothly AND I save storage space by not putting the ROM's etc on my device. I run a rooted device so I can set the kernel to permissive and that way the SD Card is recognized on boot as shared storage. Sometimes on reboot it isn't recognized and I have to take the card out and reinsert it to get LineageOS to read it correctly. The only error if that happens seems to be dropbox and photos apps crash at first as they must check the missing area for files at boot. But they work correctly once the card is reinserted.
YMMV

In my system settings 'storage' is listed now as:
Internal shared storage - 9.93GB used of 14.68GB,
Sandisk SD Card - 14.51GB used of 58.48GB.
For a total of 73.15GB
Running Lineage 14.1-20170422-Unofficial-lte03lte
with latest radio, vendor, bootloader and gapps (Bean, mini).
As a side note; back up your internal storage encryption key on another device so you can decrypt your SD Card later if needed. Just sayin'

Once I encountered the same problem.
Download latest pitchblack recovery for whyred in zip format(do not extract it). Transfer it to an External SD Card. Insert SD Card into your phone and flash zip file. Then reboot to recovery mode. This time you will see your MTP Device in My Computer.
