Phone Mounted as Hard disk issue
Apologies if the title makes this seem like a general linux issue. I have a Samsung S4, that I need to mount as a drive to run some forensic investigation tools against. The phone connects up correctly using MTP and displays but mounts as a device under the usb path. I need to mount as a hard disk for the imaging and carving work that needs to be done. There are several ways to mount the device and I have installed mtpfs for performing the mount and am using the following command with the following result.
Code:
sudo mtpfs -o allow_other /myPhone

Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung GT P7310/P7510/N7000/I9070/I9100/I9300 Galaxy Tab 7.7/10.1/S2/S3/Nexus/Note/Y.

I am not married to mtpfs but am most familiar with it in this context.
I have the screen unlocked as well to no avail. Have consulted the following:

and others in an attempt to find either a fix or alternate solution for mounting the phone as a hard disk in Kali.
Currently using:
Kali 1.0.5 64 bit in a VMware fusion environment.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
