FW: Mounting A Samsung Phone
Hi Russell. Unfortunately the answer is that they are using a whole brace of symlinks to busybox. Added is the fact that Google/Apple/Microsoft/Manufacturers don't actually want people to be able to play "under the hood". They want you to do things their way, with their latest bright and shiny abomination. I'm sure these companies only employ Golgafrincham B-Ark ex staff from the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation.

Hi David. Your SMS/MMS messages are not held as individual files, but are instead stored within an sqlite database. More recent versions of android hide these databases in secure storage and only let you use the API to access the content. So you will probably need to use your messaging app to save the mms video file to a suitable location on the sdcard. The method of doing so will depend upon your messaging app and the version of Android.

It might be a good idea to Google the name of the app to try and find this out. Or run "adb shell" and use find. Also the version of Android on the phone makes a big difference. If you even tell people the model of phone it will allow them to provide more specific advice. As an aside, it's very disappointing that there are such limited versions of find etc on Android.
