Hi,
I should update my question:
Is it possible to access a Galaxy S i9000's internal sd (e.g. with ADB or an Android manager) without debugging enabled?
My screen is broken (can't see anything, not responding to touch I think, I can hear texts coming through but can't access them) and debugging is disabled but I need to get the data out.
'
Apparently ADB works straight up if the phone is in recovery mode. I've tried a lot of "blind" recovery mode attempts, but no go. ADB still doesn't recognise the device.
Other users have had this problem but they either a) had debugging enabled, or b) their touch works or can see a portion of the screen. Mine is neither.
adb?

Tried adb using Droidzone's tutorial, but I can't enable usb debugging on my phone cause the screen is completely out of action.
It doesn't explicitly state this in the tutorial, but I gather debugging has to be on for adb to work, no?
is my handset a paperweight?
Sure not,acces the recovery(everything with blind mode on and mount your sd card and internal sd card. It can be done,recovery doesnt need any touch to work. I cant give you direct instructions right now but maybe some others can help you with those clicky things. What recovery you got?

Man, I'm not sure what recovery I got. I flashed Darky ROM into my phone a while ago so I believe I have CWM. When I say blind I just mean trying to get into recovery without looking at the screen. It doesn't help that for my handset, some people say volume up and others say volume down. It's a big pain. I've done it before but I can't remember the key combo.
The only other thing I'm not sure about is the environment variable for ADB. I got it as PATH under User Variables and as Path under System Variables just to make sure. I think that's right.

Getting 'error: device not found' on that one buddy.
Added the environment variable > Plugged the phone in (turned on) > started AndroPlatina > 5. Recovery Tools > 4. Reboot to Recovery > device not found
Will keep at it.
Ok if any methods above didnt work the blind recovery may be the last one. I just need the version of your recovery or just a version of darky rom so i can check the CWM. Trust me it can work sorry for my bad english im from east europe.
The COMBO for recovery is vol UP+home+power for a few seconds(maybe 3 or 4)

If recovery mode auto-enables debugging then theoretically I should be able to view everything on my phone (texts, contacts, data etc) with an Android manager cause all an Android manager requires is that the phone be in debugging mode.
CWM has adb enabled. Try using Nexus S drivers straight from Google. Have you got a plan for how to extract the data once you adb in? Data isn't mounted in recovery by default. You can use the mount command, if you need details I'll add them in another post.

adb pull
What will the Nexus S drivers do?
So as long as adb isn't finding my device, I can rightly assume that I'm simply not in recovery mode. Maybe I am in recovery mode and something else is at fault, like with the adb installation. Could the environment variables be causing anything?
The ideal outcome would be to turn debugging on with adb so I can view the phone's contents using an Android manager. That way, I can get out the data, as well as read the texts that have been coming through. Don't know if this is possible though.
This is still the best I can get. I'm sick of seeing it.

Update: adb works fine on my GS3 in recovery mode (with debugging turned off in settings) but not on my GS for some reason.
Check device manager on the computer. Is your phone showing up there at all? What about if you reboot into download mode?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
^ Not showing up in device manager (GS3 shows up fine). Download mode same thing - I can attempt it blind but since I can't see the screen I don't know if I'm download mode - regardless, still nothing in device manager or adb.
I can manage to boot it up (I hear the intro). I can also hear the usb sound on my pc when I plug it in. But then I have to do 2 things with no screen a) do my security pattern, and b) tap 'mass storage mode'. Sounds easy but I've tried it many times and can't nail it.

Well, I can tell you that if it turns on, it's not bricked.
As for a fix, look at oostah's thread : here to find out how to run the RUU via fastboot (.. Should be in that thread)
After you get the ruu to run, you'll be back to stock. Then you can try to root again.

it returns it completely back to stock. so yes, if they're not synced with google.
Sign into your gmail account and view your contacts > located right below the GMAIL icon on the left side. if they were synced then they'll all be there...if they're not then that makes this situation a little more difficult
Do you have adb installed? I'm not particularly familiar with the Regaw rooting tool, so I'm not sure if it's required
Sent from my Android using Tapatalk
no damn it wont even connect to the computer
Did you check to see if your contacts are backed up on google or not?
And you never said if you have adb or not...
Does booting into the bootloader work? VOL DOWN + POWER
As I see it, you have 2 options:
1) regardless of whether your contacts are backed up or not, you can try the RUU zip/fastboot method I posted previously. if it works, you'll at least have a working phone
2) if your phone is new, you can bring it into your service provider (sprint) and see what they can do
**note** with the 2nd option, I'm not sure whether they'll be able to tell if you're rooted/tried to root or not. Someone else would have to chime in for that.
Sent from my Android using Tapatalk
Edit: if you do have adb, you can have your phone connected to the computer and run "adb logcat" to see if it's actually doing something while it's hanging on the HTC screen
no google or adb can you help me do the logcat plz b4 i go back to stock?
Go here for information on how to install/setup adb > LINK
After it's set up, just boot your phone normally, have it connected to your computer and do the "adb logcat" command - just like you'll do "adb devices" on the adb link I gave you.
You'll be able to see if things are loading, or if it's just sitting there doing nothing.

Dear Forum,
I have a I9001. I've been busy with it for a week now and read and tried allot. Nothing seems to work!
So , my I9001 doesn't have a recovery any more. No root or CWM. The rom works (2.3.5) but crashes or freezes. Then tried every
combo in the book to get into the recovery mode but nothing works.
So I ask you biggest android forum of the world: What the hell is going on??
Tried to get into recovery by recovery boot by pc, tried installing other roms or kernels or whatever.
Also getting a mmc boot mbr read failed when trying above stuff by odin.
Also when I shutdown the phone and I start it up again then it has to be installed again like country and date etc etc...
Thanks in forward for answering.
Greetz,
Happybeat
But download mode still working? Then you could try to flash the recovery via Odin again or a stock Rom, AFAIK those contain the stock recovery as well so afterwards you'll have a "fresh" installed phone... Might work, no other ideas...

Well if your phone is in such a "bad condition" I would download my stock Rom from sammobile and flash it via Odin, then it should be "factory fresh". The only thing that is annoying is that you set up your phone again...

Ok...this is strange...I just connected it to my pc and have access to it...but when I deleted something what was in download it says delete permant I say yes...when I restart it and connect it back to the pc and go to download its back??
Sorry don't know any solution but I'm quite new in here so maybe you can post it into/revive this thread because the Q&A is (in my opinion) not well visited by I9001 users because it's meant to be for i9000.

Thats the problem. There is no way of getting into recovery mode. I can get into download mode but not into recovery mode. It's like it is vanished.

You can do a factory reset over the dialer on a stock Rom by entering a certain code, you can look it up in the xda wiki about the I9001

Yep did that. Doesnt work. The thing is also that I cant change anything. Everytime when I reboot I need to install again. So it doesnt remember. Same when I connect it to the pc and I remove a file from download that I do not need it doesn't remove the file because the next time I reboot its back. It's like the internal is locked?
I can't find a good page with an explanation, so I'll just type it out myself. If anything isn't clear, ask!
You can try getting into recovery mode using the Android SDK, maybe that could work...
Install the latest version of Samsung Kies if you haven't already (for the USB driver)
Install the Android SDK (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) You'll need just the SDK, everything else is useless for this
Open a command prompt and go to the directory where you have installed the Android SDK (basically you'll run the command cd "<folder>", where folder is something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk")
Start your phone and go to Settings > Applications > Development
Enable USB debugging (if it's not there, just find that option and enable it )
Connect your phone using a USB cable
Go back to your command prompt and run the command tools\adb reboot recovery
Hopefully your phone will boot in recovery mode
Good luck!

Ok so thank you for this but unfortunatly it just didnt work. I think it is dead. Does Jtagg do any difference? Like hook it up to that machine?
So what it does at this moment:
It starts up but everytime you start up it will ask you to install everything again. So it asks what country etc.etc...
When I am in it appears to work but starting apps just makes it all crash or freeze.
Im a bit lost at the moment to do anything. It just looks that it doesnt memorize.
I can hook it up to the pc but you cant remove or add anything. You can just look and scroll through it.
all my Rom zips and backups are gone. How can I access my internal SD card to copy a ROM over to it then flash?
I have no OS installed so it wont boot into anything except TWRP recovery
step by step instructions greatly appreciated
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: This is how I fixed my phone
I used the AIO toolkit to "Flash My Own Recovery" after I downloaded CWM Touch
http://goo.im/devs/Flyhalf205/M7WLS/Recovery/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-m7wls.img
I flashed CWM then booted into recovery and selected sideload
I used the AIO tool kit to select my ROM of choice and it installed perfectly
I am now in my phone and able to access my internal storage
Connect to PC, the copy over to storage on phone. Boot into recovery and install.

Ive had the phone plugged in many times and all drivers installed. When I plug it in now, my PC makes that noise that something is connected, but I don't get any prompts to install drivers or notifications that a device is connected.

no I haven't. What is ADB?
Are you trying to get into recovery (Power/vol down)?? If you can't get into that you need to use fastboot (ADB) to reflash recovery so you can access your internal. I'm guessing you know how to do this since you already had it. If not, lemme know. I can try and give step by step to get it back.

Goto HTC and download HTC Sync, sorry can't cause I don't have enough posts to show link.
Leave phone disconnected and let it install. Then try again. Report back.
Kinda a novice here but you did say you formatted the SD so I would ask how? But more importantly to what file format? fat32?
Not even sure what it is supposed to be but in trouble shooting this I would make sure the SD is formatted correctly. Just saying...and sorry for butting in here.

There is a format option through TWRP (wipe/format data) that formats EVERYTHING. So whatever TWRP formats it as is what it is.

Unofficial CWM Recovery for Ouya
One-Click Style Method
To help people get up and going quickly, I've turned the steps below into an automated script package.
The attached OneClickOuyaRecovery.zip archive contains automated scripts to install CWM Recovery.
Whether you use Linux, Mac OSX, or Windows 7, all are invited to join in the fun!
Before you begin, you need to have your Ouya hooked up to a TV and powered on.
You also need to have a micro usb cable handy.
1) Download the OneClickOuyaRecovery.zip file and extract it (a folder on your desktop is fine).
2) Open the folder and you'll see a folder for each operating system. Open the folder for the OS of your choice.
3a) For Linux and Mac OSX users, run InstallOuyaCWMRecovery.sh in terminal by navigating the folder and running "./InstallOuyaCWMRecovery.sh" (you might just be able to run it by double clicking it. It depends on your setup).
3b) For Windows 7 users, double click the batch file InstallOuyaCWMRecovery.bat
4) Follow the on screen instructions. If you get an error saying there was no device found, run the script again (sometimes adb is finicky).
5) If all went well, you should be brought to CWM recovery.
If you have any trouble, seeking help is more efficient if you post the script's output to a pastebin (http://pastebin.com/) and post a link to it (I/others can see what happened).
Link to OneClickOuyaRecovery.zip - http://invisiblek.org/ouya/OneClickOuyaRecovery.zip
P.S. If anyone has proper hosting and would like to host OneClickOuyaRecovery.zip, please let me know and I'll change the link.
Thanks to invisiblek we have some more permanent hosting than a Dropbox account. Hosting costs money guys, so be sure to drop invisiblek a few coins if you can spare it.
Manual Method
Steps to install CWM on Ouya:
1) Perform the SDK Setup portion of thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272266 and install su, busybox, and superuser from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270589. This is done so we can get adb access and the necessary tools on the Ouya
2) Download the OuyaCWMrecovery6.0.3.2.img file and the OuyaCWMrecovery6.0.3.2flashable.zip.
3) Transfer the OuyaCWMrecovery6.0.3.2flashable.zip to your Ouya's internal sdcard (you can do this with "adb push /path/to/OuyaCWMrecovery6.0.3.2flashable.zip /sdcard/OuyaCWMrecovery6.0.3.2flashable.zip"). Leave the OuyaCWMrecovery6.0.3.2.img on your computer.
4) Connect your computer to the Ouya's micro-usb port (if it isn't already), connect a USB keyboard to the Ouya (bluetooth won't work), and run "adb reboot bootloader"
5) Wait 30 seconds (seriously)
6) Use fastboot to boot CWM by running "fastboot boot /path/to/OuyaCWMrecovery6.0.3.2.img". This boots from our CWM recovery without writing to any partitions.
7) Using your USB keyboard's arrow and enter keys, select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", and "OuyaCWMrecovery6.0.3.2flashable.zip". This flashable zip writes CWM to the recovery partition and renames a pesky file that causes the stock recovery to be written on reboot.
8) Select "go back", and "reboot system now" to return to Andriod (CWM will ask "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. FIX?". Make sure you select "NO")
9) Since we don't have any volume or home keys on the Ouya, to get back into recovery, you need to run "adb reboot recovery". Go ahead and try it once the Ouya has been sitting in Android for a minute or so. If all went well, you should reboot into CWM recovery!
This method was generated from the work done in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292556. If you feel like pressing the thanks button, don't just thank me. Also thank professorpoptart, sonofskywalker3, and rayman. And obviously this is possible because of the fine folks behind CWM and Cyanogenmod.
Followed all your instructions, worked fantastically (aside from some strange windows 8 driver issues of course). Great job guys!

I believe what he meant was simply that it won't work in recovery.

That is correct. BT keyboards work fine on the OUYA normally.
Thoughts, when I fastboot the recovery.img I get no video to navigate to the correct option to install the zip. I know the recovery.img I fastbooted booted because it shows listed as "recovery" under adb devices.
I had this issue with the stock recovery and a mix of hooking it up to another monitor and pushing a Generic.kl with an edited home button seemed to fix it. I have reboot and went back into stock recovery and video works fine there, just not when I fastboot the CWM one.
I could use the adb shell in recovery to "--install_package=xxxxxx.zip" but it wont be too much help if I cant navigate the CWM menu...

Hmmm. That's weird. It worked fine on my TV without pressing a key before hand. Maybe it's the keyboard or TV?

Tried 2 tv's stock recovery works on both.
edit: Tried it on a third TV works!? whatever... At least we know anyone has issue in the future just keep trying more displays until one works...
edit: don't know if it matters but just fyi, but I tried 2 1080P displays and got nothing, tried it on an old 1080i and it worked...
edit: Hooked it back up to the main TV and recovery video still works... whatever...

Probably not the issue, but wanted to rule it out anyway. What's the md5 hash of the .img. I got c6b37906f280b16cd200503c3cde6dfb

Crazy driver / edid issues maybe? Who knows. I'm glad you got it working though.

I was also unable to get video after running fastboot unless I had the HDMI plugged in prior to issuing the command.

Ohhhhhh. I keep HDMI plugged in the entire time. Maybe that's the issue. Professorpoptarts, we're you plugged into HDMI at all times?

When it wasnt working yes, had everything connected, then powered up, then fastbooted. Even tried unplugging and plughing back in the hdmi a few times to try and get it to come on. However since I got it working I have not gad the issue (knock on wood)

is there a custom kernel up for this device yet? I havent seen one.
Kernel source was released 4 days ago, it may take some time.
However, I'm currently working on porting Cyanogenmod 10 from source, professorpoptart is working on porting an aosp rom from the HTC One X+, and I'm probably going to release a "Custom ROM" tonight that's just an easy flash to add a bunch of extra functionality. So no kernels yet, but Roms should start popping up soon.
I love you all!

Hooray! I'm taking my ouya off craigslist! I was beginning to think nobody was going to develop for this box! I can't wait to start sending donations! (soon, life is expensive these days....).
well, I did something stupid and wiped everything, including the 2 zip files needed to flash the KK rom for Tmobile..
my twrp is working fine; is there a easy way to transfer the 2 zip files back onto my phone via twrp?
thanks!
Does adb work in or twrp? If so it's just
Adb push ZIPNAME /sdcard

I dont know; there is an adb sideload command in twrp, but it doesnt seem to do anything; Plus I am not sure if my phone is connected via adb..
I know I have the right lg drivers on my computer, but when I run any adb command, the phone doesnt respond.
Honestly I think what you need to do is restart and just lgflash JB then you can just access your sdcard

you can say that again; this is the first phone that I have had in a long time without an sd card, and it was "mental muscle memory" that made me wipe everything..
Now, my phone is viewed as an F340k, since that's what the twrp on this phone is based on, so I wonder if I would have a problem using lg flash...this is a tmobile phone, but it might "think" its an f340k..
If I can flash the drivers for a f340 on my computer, then I might be able to adb sideload via twrp..otherwise I am not sure what will happen.
I have been leaving my phone just sit in recovery, as I dont know what would happen if I shut if off, and rebooted to system..
Hope its not brick city for me..
Well try to go to download mode and flash stock. You should be able to get back into recovery again if needed.

How did you make out? I have been trying to figure out what drivers I need for adb to recognize my phone in twrp. Hope you recovered
Got to adb sideload. Swipe to enable. Open up a command promp on computer and type adb sideload then place your zip file here and hit enter

I have been trying that; the problem is, that my phone now "thinks" its a f340k, and not a d959
I have been trying to install drivers so my win 8.1 machine can "see" the phone, so I can run adb sideload, but for some reason, I cant get it to "see" the phone in ADB..I keep getting a message in the command prompt, "device not found"
.I have downloaded drivers that "should" work, but its a WHQL win driver from LG, and it doesnt seem to have the proper drivers to enable my computer to "see" the phone in ADB..
Not a happy camper right now..
Maybe a usb otg would work if you put the rom.zip on the flash drive. There is an option to mount USB-OTG

I dont think that would help because my phone isn't being "seen" by my computer, while in twrp recovery
If I could just find the f340k driver by itself, without the WHQL "bundle", I think I could get it to recognize the phone, and then transfer files on to it..
I've looked everywhere, and cant seem to find that driver by itself anywhere..
Not sure but it worked on the similar G2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2492911 sorry just read further in that thread and you may be right. sorry
I can get into download mode, but I cant get the lg flash tool to see the phone either...any suggestions at this point?
thanks
EDIT:
How can I boot to recovery at this point?
When I hold power and down, I get a screen with all Chinese writing on it, and my IEMI code on the bottom of the page..Power and up gets me the same thing..
another guess. I know with windows 7 the only way I could use fastboot was with the pdanet drivers otherwise my phone wouldn't connect to the pc. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-drivers-adb-and-fastboot-android-phones-tablets/
thanks, but the computer still doesnt see the phone..
do you know how I can get the phone into recovery at this point?
TWRP should still be on it, but I cant get i to boot into twrp.

I've been trying all day to do just that, but my phone isnt being seen by my computer..
I think the problem is that my phone is a d959 tmo, but, the freedomflex recovery installed,(twrp) has changed my phone to a f340k, and I cant get any drivers to recognize the phone, so without that, I can't do anything with it..
Since the last working thing was TWRP recovery, is there a way for me to boot into twrp at this point?
All I can do is get in download mode, or another mode which shows all Chinese text/language on it, with my IEMI code on the bottom of the page..
Otherwise, I will have to ebay this thing, and hope someone with more dev skills than me can restore it somehow..
thanks!
