I'm trying to explore the contents of my Huawei mobile phone and while Debian recognizes some sort of partition dedicated to install a Windows app associated with that given model, the OS fails to mount the filesystem.
I'm running Debian Buster, and my mobile phone is a Huawei Mate 9 lite.
After plugging the phone through a USB cable, and answering the prompt raised by the phone that allows exploring data through USB to a computer, Debian raises an error that, in English, should roughly be translated as "Failed to mount the filesystem: the device doesn't respond".
Please bear with me, I'm not very adept at looking under the hood in Linux systems, I've been more of a Windows person for years until... yesteryear?
Using lsusb, I can see that the computer recognizes the device:
