Follow these Steps to mount your /data partition as Mass Storage:
mount | grep /dataumount /datafind /sys -name lun*f_mass_storageadb shellsucd /data/local/tmpvim usb_mount.shPress iecho 0 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable
echo [Previously noted down device file] > [Previously noted down URL]/file
echo mass_storage > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/functions
echo 1 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable:wq and press enterchmod 777 /data/local/tmp/usb_mount.shsh /data/local/tmp/usb_mount.shThis should disconnect and reconnect your device as USB Mass Storage.
Comment if you face any issues.
vim, then then at step 9, enters input mode and at step 10, enters the contents of the script . At step 11, he saves(writes) the file and quits vim. (Check the vim Documentation if you're not clear.) Well yeah, that would have been comfortable to read if the answerer has included all these with the explanations in the same point.
