Ok so i play lacrosse and left my phone in my pocket and being a goalie the ball was shot and hit my phone breaking the screen. Everything works Touch wise and iv used screen cast to see the phone, the only problem is where i start to enter my pattern is the side that looks to have taken the worst impact. Now my question is i really need to get to the internal memory is there anyway to do so.
hey,
so if you know the files you want to acces while your phone is running you could use adb to acces these files with pc.
requirements:
- usb connected phone
- android sdk installed on pc
- running phone (don't know if only booted or still available in fastboot mode)
- maybe rooted phone (don't know exactly, my razr is rooted with zergrush v2)
PS: with the adb pull command you can pull .apk and other files from your phone.
PPS: can be possible you have to change permissions
Or (and this is an expensive "or") you could use a webtop dock.

Yeah, if you use adb to pull them, it should work fine, and I don't think you even need to root

i actually tried the 6 clicks power 2 clicks power and nothing happened. going to try droid explorer tho im pretty sure debugging was on
ive tried droid explorer too and my device wont show. man idk this sucks
Have you tried using kies? Did you ever have adb running prior? What happens when you type adb remount?
Install adb drivers again and then download the android sdk.
Start run
Cmd
Mkdir c:\sdcard
Cd C:\androidsdk\tools
Adb pull /sdcard c:\sdcard

Have you tried screencast? It was very helpful seeingthe recovery behind the rainbows. Runs on your pc shows the android screen on it
Beware of angry gingerbread man
im gonna try all these new suggestions and tell u if they work
well i never really used adb before this. but when i type remount it says operation failed: operation not permitted
and for screencast where would i download that
not exactly sure why but now when i try droid explorer it will connect. thanks for the help guys . getting my pics and videos as we speak. now just gotta wait for the gay insurance haha
Hey everyone. I'm in a bit of a pickle here. My phone was run over (I know, it's hilarious, laugh it out) strangely enough it's still intact except the screen won't turn on (it's cracked to hell as well). So I'm getting a new phone mailed to me, should be arriving in a few days, but I need to get all my contacts and whatnot off of there.
My first instinct was to use Kies, however it looks like I had USB debug mode enabled so Kies cannot detect it, nor can my PC (it sees the phone, but cannot access the storage).
So my question is: how can either a) disable debug mode without my screen or
b) get my contacts and files another way.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Have you tried using ADB commands? you could access the internal storage this way, also you didn't use your google account backup settings? if you did, all your contacts would be restored on your new phone.
Yes try true adb. An other question: are you rooted?
Adb is not that hard. Just download the android sdk. Then open a command prompt and browse to the sdk dir.
Then typ:
adb devices (it will give you some serial number, then it's working!) then you could try:
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db backup/data/contacts.db
If it's not working post the output you are getting.
And google contacts win.
I always wonder in what kind of cases we need it except theft or lost.

is you phone fixed?
Hi all
Thanks to those who replied though it would be nice if the post was fully read first... for example, I cannot just connect the phone and copy its content via USB!
Here's the problem:
- phone screen is smashed and shows nothing
- phone still powers up though
- it is not rooted
- it has data on its internal memory that I want to copy
- it has pattern lock activated
- computer (MS Vista OS) recognises a USB devise is logged in, but it doesn't read it as a drive, and KIES just idles... no doubt because I would need to change the phone settings, which I can't do with a smashed screen.
QUESTIONS:
- How can I access phone contents to copy them? (repair shop wants $220)
- I was told using ADN....
I installed SDK Tools but how do I start ADN?
Many thanks
the easiest way might be connect to your computer and copy the contents of the internal sdcard if your computer sees the phone.
If you wan to use odin, use file dump to dump the contents of your phone i believe.
I'm quite the noob when it comes to adb scripting, but I believe that
- start a command line within the directory where ADB executable is located
- type in "adb usb" and it should connect to your phone
- then type "adb pull /mnt/sdcard/* X:\path-to-directory\"
commands without parentheses... I hope it will work
Thanks for the replies
I just amended my original post to say the computer does not recognise the phone when USB connected... KIES tries to connect but fails (no doubt because there is no response from the phone).
Did you try and connect it through mass storage?
Settings - Wireless and networks - USB utilities.
Also try uninstalling kies and reinstall

adb is it!
open a adb shell if you need to navigate around to where things are..
then do a adb pull to get the stuff you want.
Oh yeah, forgot about that, haha. Sorry.

Hello,
My vibrant got recently run over by a car and the screen doesn't work anymore However, I know that it still can function because I can see the 4 capacitive keys on the bottom light up when I touch them. Is there anyway for me to be able to view the Vibrant's harddrive on my computer without having to switch to USB mode (since my screen doesn't work)?
if you have adb installed and know some basic linux commands you can use ADB to view the contents of your vibrants storage via command prompt and should be able to copy most of your data over. As far as a graphical solution i think there was something being developed called screen cast at some point but i dont think that will be much use to you as i believe it has been abandoned
I am familiar with adb but I can't see my device for some reason when I connect my phone to my computer and run 'adb devices'. I've used adb in the past to push / pull files but I remember having to mount the device from the dropdown menu before it would be recognized. Is there any way to force the phone to be connected? Thank you for your help!

are you on a stock rom? ever since i started using custom roms ive always had ADB debugging enabled, unfortunately you may be SOL if you need to enable ADB debugging as both the adb method and screen cast require ADB to work,the other option is to take apart your vibrant and have the internal memory chip read that way tho your stand a good risk of damaging the internal memory chip
Long story short...Note 2 met concrete, then met car who ran over the thing.
Still powers on, recognized by computer, LTE and CDMA are still working (I can hear emails and text messages being poured in)
I have no access to the phone since the screen is gone. It's been RMA'd for a replacement since I have Asurion.
What can I do do remove all of my data from the phone? Is there a certain button combination through the bootloader that I can press to get to an adb shell to dump the ROM? The downside, it's not rooted.
Any help is appreciated.
Can your pc reconize the intenernal and external storage and....excatly what data do you need

It recognizes the phone as a media drive. So nothing shows from the internal storage. The external SD card is in my new phone currently, but I'm hoping I can do an adb pull on a couple of APKs I desperately need.
I just can't remember if I have to be rooted, and even if I can pull from internal storage. I haven't gotten to adb yet, just installed the JRE/JDK and ADB (again)
I'm not an adb or rooting noob. I've just had Motos ever since and this is my first sammy
IIrc there is a button combination to hard reset the phone. look on samsungs website. As for getting things from the phone, look for a pc app called droid explorer. I haven't used it since its early stages, nor do i know if you need root to copy apks. I'm always rooted lol. I am actually about to download this now.
