mntool dont mount the memory from the mobile.
Is there any quick possibility to read the memory of the phone (for loading photographies) with TCL?

Your messages show that the android was assigned the drive sdc.
fdisk -l sdc
See what partitions are available to mount.

Typically, you're using on Usb Otg port, and hence have to use the host OS (android) to switch that port to slave (device): watch for icons popping out, or related settings.
Only afterwards you can mount any partition on the storage of the tablet connected via usb.
Hope this helps.

YES.
I made in the HTC Android menue:
- setups
- connect with a PC
- connection type:  harddrive
Then I connected the HTC with a USB cable to my PC (no specific TinyCore App to be loaded); then I could read/delete/store all files I wanted on my HTC internal card.
Thanks.
