hey
I've a question I try to save the data of a friends phone whos screen is broken and dont respond.
Everytime I use
Code:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/ C:\Android
it responds with
Code:
Code:
pull: building file list...
0 files pulled. 0 files skipped.
What do I wrong??
Thanks for your replies
Does really nobody know it?
Or does anybody have a solution the save data from a phone which screen is broken (black) and touch screen doesn't work either and last but not least usb debugging isn't enabled.
Without USB debugging enabled, you can't connect trough adb, try doing "adb devices", wich will probably show nothing, what means that you can't use adb.

I've rooted the phone blind and in the recovery my pc shows the device in the list, status = recovery.
Oh okay, then try to mount sdcard and try again, if that doesn't work, try to unmount it again and try again.

thank you very much for your replie, i tried it with my phone (i9000) and it worked
the problem is that my friend has a Galaxy S3 and i don't know the structure of CWM 5.5...
Well there isn't that much difference between the cwm versions, if you look at it it almost explaines itself
Sent from my awesome fridge
there are some diffrentes between the versions and because i don't see what i do, it's very important to know in which order the things are coming
At the moment the situation is the following:
All the data on the sd got erased (i dont know when), but i have now access to the sd over the pc. The problem is that the S3 doesnt support usb mass storage which means that recuva etc to restore the files wont work.
Are there any other ways to restore the data or to activate usb mass storage?

not unless you have a TitaniumBackup...if you have CWM 6.0.1.0 mounting USB storage option is in recovery itself
also i have no intention of high jacking this thread but off late i am facing certain weird issues with adb myself Error mounting SDcard
My dont have a TitaniumBackup but that is anyway useless cause he need his pictures etc. Do you have read the whole thread? Because at the moment the problem is that i cant restore the data from the erased sd card cause windows dont detect the Galaxy S3 as a Usb mass storage. And because the screen is broken I also cant try a solution from xda ^^
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Well, the data on your sdcard is gone, if adb won't recognize it. But what files do you want from your sdcard? 'cause when you only need the pictures, it might be auto-uploaded on dropbox or google drive etc
Sent from my awesome fridge
I think you missunderstood ^^ first the pictures arent uploaded to dropbox etc. And the problem first was that i couldnt get access to the data cause he had a pin to unlock which i cant tip in without screen. After flashing a 3 file fw the pin was gone and i could access the data. Unfortunality it also formated the whole SD.
The same Problem happend to my phone and i could restore my data with the program called "Recuva".
The problem now is that the S3 don't have a USB Mass Storage like the S1 and the PC dont detect it as a hard drive so Recuva wont recognize it either
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Well you can always buy a USB stick with sdcard availability, or use another phone with that sdcard to wich does have mass storage enabled.
Sent from my awesome fridge
The problem is, i need the data from this Phone. Accidently it formated the whole internal memory on which everything was (Music, Pictures etc.).
With a Tool called Recuva you can restore deleted files. But Recuva doesn't recognizes the Galaxy S3. Because Galaxy S3 don't have Mass Storage anymore, I thought Samsungs uses now MTP or something like this. And now i need a Tool or something to restore everything from the formated internal SD.
Try searching for that on google.
Sent from my awesome fridge
I did for nearly 5 hours
you're my last hope
All wouldn't be a problem if the screen would work or if my friend enabled usb debugging
Is there any possibility to get into recovery mode and flash a Rom? If yes, you could use a Stockrom with a modified build.prop so USB debugging would be enabled.

Usb debugging dont matter at the moment cause all files are deleted! I need a tool to restore a formated sd

Okay nevermind, it's possible, but to recover the files you need something to pare your sdcard to your PC, do you have any other phone or a USB stick with a sdcard slot?

So I had a little accident with my captivate and my screen is dead...the phone is booting normally I think but I can't see anything at all just a black screen...
Is there a way I can mount the internal storage with adb commands or something to get some of my files transferred to my windows pc?
I did have the pattern lock enabled so I don't know if that would make a difference.
Thanks

If you had a custom ROM with CWM then you could 3 button combo in to CWM recovery and mount your drives that way.
Unfortunatly I had just flashed the gingerbread leak so no cwm was installed...

Have you tried adb? Assuming that you usb debugging enabled, you should be able to do 'adb pull /mnt/sdcard .' and get a full dump of your card.
If not, i think that using Heimdall you could always flash a build with adb enabled and debugging on. You could also probably use Odin, but I am unfamiliar with it.
Finally, check with at&t online tech support and see if they have suggestions. My experience may be atypical, but I find them far more tech savvy than other at&t support staff.
I'm sorry I cannot tell you exactly how to do this but mobiletechvideos youtube site has a video for this exact thing, damaged screens. There is a way to use your pc as your phone screen that way you can pull off what you need.
Hope this helps some.

Have you tried just plugging it in to your computer? If it is powered up, and usb debugging was off, you may be lucky enough to fully access your files on the internal sd.
worst case scenario:
flash a custom kernel through download mode with ODIN, reboot into recovery, and
"adb pull /sdcard /path/on/computer/you/want/files"
may have to run a mount command to get it to mount sdcard though
Hello all,
Please i need help! my screen broke and i have important information backed up in my internal sd card.
I tried to follow a suggestion of another tread to enter recovery mode (i have semaphore kernel and slim rom 2.5) and mount the sd card by pressing 5 times button up and down 2 times up it seems that the phone connects to the pc as windows makes a noise and shows an icon that says the galaxy is connected.
The issue is that i don't see any new "removable disks" in the Pc, so the phone is connected but i cant access the files
am i missing something? is there something else anyone could suggest ?
Appreciate your help

If its mounted, your windows will start reading the SD cards, most likely the key press combination may vary according to CWM version..its http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/images/3/3f/Onix_kernel.jpg this is for version 2.5, so try and find out the exact combination, for it to work
Than you for the reply xsenman,
In windows i can see an icon in the bottom that shows the phone is connected, the thing is that the sds are not showing/opening for me to be able to copy the content, so it looks like is mounted but not working.
For example i tried to "disconnect" usb with right click of the mouse and i see 3 things
The galaxy phone
Internal sd
external sd
But both sds are grayed out, so like is reading but i cant access (im not an expert or developer so i dont know the language for this)
do you have any idea what could be the issue?
in other hand i have tried to find the screenshots of CWM 6 without success.
do you know where i could find this screenshots just in case?
thank you

This simply means the USB connection with the phone is active and good, but your SD cards are mounted to the phone ( so you cannot open them on PC) , you need to unmount them in USB storage mode , like I said the you need to get the key combinations correct for PC to mount them

I already gave you what I had, anyway in the screen shot i posted earlier its 6x down > enter and 11x down> enter to get mount USB storage...but be careful to verify this as you could end formating your SD card , if it is wrong
You need to search for the CWM Ver 6 key combination, to make it work, maybe someone with CWM Version 6 can type out , how to access their USB storage mode in recovery?
ANYONE willing to help kartoshka22???
xsenman thank you for the help, now its clearer, i hope someone can help me finding the right menu.
Anyone please?
I checked on my i9000, cm9, cwm6.
It is 5x down, click, then 3x down and click to mount SD card

For mounting USB storage it is five down, click, then thirteen (13) down, click. Make sure you go to13, the options above it are for formatting!
Good luck! :thumbup:

The name of the file in question is:
í/à=√f+ⁿ.bí£
Yes, that filename has a forward slash in it!!!!!!!!
How do I get rid of this file??
It is preventing me from running NanDroid backups, and I cannot format the partition (bizarrely).
I suspect the filename is corrupted.
If I run ls -il I do not get an inode number, just a series of question marks ?????
Have you tried renaming it and then deleting? Try also a different file manager if that doesn't work (Solid Explorer Trial shouldn't have any problem)
It can't be renamed unfortunately.
I have used a variety of android file managers with no success.
I'm rooted on CM10.1 and have tried CWM tools also.

Connect device as mass storage and delete from PC
still you can't delete it then install unlocker (attached here) to PC and delete with that
This should work otherwise
Last option copy data to PC and format internal memory.

Thanks Dr. Ketan
I can't delete from Windows or Linux on a PC.
The forward slash confuses both O/Ss.
I'll give the UnLocker a go, thanks very much for that :thumbup:
I've tried formatting through CWM and Android, it fails for some reason.

The unlocker tool didn't do the job I'm afraid.
And Windows would not format the partition.
I found a Windows tool for formatting FAT32 on large memory sticks.
Copied all the files from my internal memory, apart from the dodgy file.
Used the FAT32 tool to format the partition.
Copied all my files back.
NanDroid now works
Awesome

Hello.
I have exactly the same problem as you. Could you explain the way you format the partition? I tried with 3 different usb format tools but I cant find the way to format it from my computer, they dont detect my internal memory as a usb drive and I dont know how to do it
Thank you very much.

I had the same issue with multiple files not deleting. The solution I found was the following. I have Chasmodo's Asylym ROM installed, and its kernel has the TWRP recovery, and in advanced settings of that recovery mode you have the option to pick what you want to mount. I connected Note to my PC and picked Mount USB storage in TWRP, and the phone's internal storage was now accessible on my computer. After that, I just formatted it on my PC using the usual method: right click on the drive, Format, picked FAT32 and quick format. It cleaned the entire thing and the freakin files were finally gone. Do keep in mind that this wipes your entire internal storage.

Hi
So sorry I haven't replied earlier, I removed the subscription from the thread once I nailed the problem.
Basically you have to connect to the N7000 as a mass storage device.
There are different ways of doing this depending upon the Rom you are using.
This mounts the internal and external drive on the N7000 as drives in Windows.
Then using a FAT32 formatter you can format the internal drive.
It's that simple.
Take it easy.........FF

When I face these problems on Linux, usually I use " rm -i * ".
That is the interactive mode of "rm".
So basically the system will ask you to delete each file it founds on the directory. You'll answer "no" for each file except the one you want to delete.
The system should be able to pass the right info to the rm command (I think it will not pass the name but the inode) to delete it.
Hello friends! Today I did something really dumb on my i9000. I was about to flash a new rom and formatted the sd card.. Of course the files of the rom i was about to flash are gone and now when i try to mount usb storage to transfer the files again my computer doesn't recognize the phone.
The drivers were working before all this happened so i don't know how to fix this. I'm running devil touch recovery v6.0.2.7.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks for your help.
2 things you can do one is to use a program called recuva by pirifrom (Google it and Google a how to) to get the data back off the SD card assumming u have not over written it and u have a sdcard to USB converter.
The other is to uninstall the drivers from PC and install them from fresh there should be guilds here someware

Hi,
I'm running Pacman 4.4.4 RC-1 on my HTC Vivid. The rom works great except I can't get my sd to work correctly. I had a problem with this on another mod as well. I have formatted it through windows (FAT32 default settings) and through the recovery mode, but to no avail. Whenever I connect my usb to the computer it has the option of MTP connection or Mass storage (UMS). If I click mtp it pops up in windows as a media device and won't let me add files it gives me an error that i can't write access. If I select Mass storage the card does not show up at all in windows. I've tried this card alone in windows and it transfers files fine and works. I'm not sure what I need to do to get it work? I need to transfer my calllogs and my messages over to it (have a backup file of these). Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

I installed TWRP recovery and it allowed me to mount my sd card. I can transfer files to it through the computer when in TWRP. However when it pops up on my computer it says that drive e (im assuming the internal) needs to be formatted should i do this? Wouldn't that erase all the apps on my phone? Even though it lets me transfer files through twrp when i try to do anything involving the sd card in android it gives me errors. I need to transfer my xml files that contain my text messages and call logs through either titanium backup or super backup but they give me errors. I also cannot install any apps to the sd card (error). Hope they helps some. I feel like I'm either missing a step here or doing something wrong.

Well, I would guess that the format would erase all the stuff on there. I had some issues myself which I solved by pretty much nuking my phone's storage completely and re-flashing a ROM. I cannot remember exactly how I did it, but these threads seem promising if you haven't already tried them:

When I formatted the internal drive as well it worked correctly. I finally got it working! Thanks everyone I needed TWRP basically. I just found another issue though and it's with not being able to hear my visual voicemails (they work fine without visual) and I have problems with people not hearing me sometimes. Any fix for either? Sorry if I should start another thread for these I can do that.
Thanks
I can't really help with visual voicemail, as ST doesn't have one I can use. I did fond that setting up google voice as my voicemail provider allowed me to use google voice as a visual voicemail.
The not being able to hear you thing is a fairly common issue, and while I am lucky enough to not have to deal with that on my phone, I believe a temporary fix is to call someone, hang up, then any subsequent calls should be fine.
