   You’re thinking MTP. My old phone supports that as well. It’s a file-level   
   protocol, so it doesn’t expose the internal storage at the sector level.   
      
   My even older phone let the microSD card be accessed by an external   
   computer directly at the sector level. That was in FAT format, but it was   
   separate from the phone’s internal storage.   
      
   No Android phone is going to expose its OS installation area for any   
   external access at the sector level.
