Unmounting from ADB - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering when using adb do you have to unmount it or can you just unplug your phone
and if your have o unmount whats the code i cant find it

i hope you don't have to have to do the whole shut down usb device bc i always yank and run while using adb. i have not encountered any problems with just pulling it, so hopefully we're good

Unable to mount any more

Not sure when or what happened but I'm unable to mount now. I'm able to use adb and everything but unable to mount AT ALL via adb nor drop down on the notification bar. Any ideas? Yes i've searched and had other members try n figure out why.

If you have Cyan's 1.4 recovery, reboot into recovery, go to console and type
Code:
ums_enable
if it doesnt work, its hardware problem. Make sure its in right, pull it out, blow out any dust, put it back in.
If it does, its something wrong with your ROM install. Make sure its not your computer OS either
you have given absolutely no information on your set-up and its hard to diagnose anything if we don't know what you have
i have
jacXhero1.2
vista 32bit.
My thing is i can use adb with no problems at all, will register every time.
if you can use adb then it shouldn't matter if you can mount the phone, just adb push stuff to your phone if you need it, or pull it. you said you couldn't mount via adb so i guess that means you did "adb shell sdutil ums enable" and you still have ums enabled in your settings?
My whole thing is i want to be able to mount so i can put things on my SD Card and take things off like: music,pictures,videos.
did you try flashing your ROM again? when did it start happening
Go to Settings>Applications>Development and disable USB debugging, you can now mount on your computer to access files. Reenable when done.

Did you try it with a different card?
you don't NEED to mount to put things on your SD card, you can just do
Code:
adb push \users\me\music\file.mp3 \sdcard\music\file.mp3
or do the same thing to pull from the sdcard, as long as the phone is reading the sdcard then you can push/pull through adb to/from the sdcard

[Q] how to force mount on a phone with broken screen

I managed to drop a glass container of baby food on my captivate, thus cracking my screen and making the phone unusable.... terrific!
I am looking to see if there is a way to force my phone to mount to my Mac so that I can backup then clear my internal sd card. I do not even know where to start. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
I'm not to sure about doing this on a mac, but if you have usb debugging turned on on your phone then you can use an adb like program to mount the sd card. If not.... Idk if it's even possible at all.

yeah you should always leave the phone in debugging mode just in case you need adb. the development kit is available for mac and adb is included. adb should work in recovery mode. it is one of the few top of the line andriod phones that is still debugging enabled in recovery mode.
adb is command line based so i hope you are comfortable with that.

ADB Errors

so, stupid question time.
i've used ADB in the past and its worked great so not sure whats going on this time around.
I get the following errors when trying to start adb:
"daemon still not runningerror: cannot connect to daemon"
I have installed moto drivers for droid 3 (32bit), im on win7 32bit. I have my phone on dev mode, and charge only. I have run CMD with admin rights. and still ADB wont turn on.
I have also tried using the new one click method:
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=3714&p=75934
anyone have some direction? I did kill adb from my running processes (all instances) and tried all over, no go, same error.
help?
Did you put the phone is PC Mode as opposed to USB Mass Storage?
its supposed to be done in Charing only mode, the issue isn't on my phone setup, it got to do with my darn computer, I can even do an adb devices command... may have to remove the sdk completely and start over.
Put in charge only, use one click method

did you change directory in cmd to the folder that adb is in?
...I had to change to the folder like this cd\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
The one-click root method is bundled with adb.exe. Except for the driver and a USB cable, it contains everything needed to root.

[Q] Internal SD Card corrupted

My wife seems to have corrupted her internal SD card, absolutely no idea how. She was bone stock, not even rooted. I could not get stock to even boot past the boot animation, so I tried one of the GB 1 Clicks and boogs KJ3 kernel to get CWM, now I can boot to the launcher, but it bootloops from there. I don't want to format the internal SD until I can get her pictures from it if possible, so my question is: is there a way to get the pictures off, if they even still exist? I have tried mounting in CWM and all i get is a lost directory, now I can't even mount USB storage.
Boot into recovery, then use adb to pull from /mnt/sdcard
Don't need to mount with adb.
Just tried this, I get an empty directory. Tried using adb shell and still showing an empty directory. Any other thoughts, or am I going to have to reformat?
Ouch....I think a format is in order.
sorry man
Well I got it to boot with the kk4 1 click and it runs, but the gallery is empty, so I assume I'm hosed. Any thoughts on cause, she says that earlier she got a message in the notification area about removing her sd card (she has no external, just an internal)?
Try this
Set your screen timeout to the max. Reboot y your phone. Keep touching the screen, don't let it go to sleep. Keep doing that as you pull everything from the phone.
About adb
If you don't set a destination folder in your command, it won't pull. If she's on 2.1, you don't use the mnt part. Place a folder directly on your c drive, so that it's address path is c:\your folder name
This makes your adb command
adb pull \sdcard\ c:\your folder name
Do all of this without letting the phone go to sleep. Maybe it will work for you.
Adb pull /sdcard c:\your folder
Forward slash on phone, backslash on pc.

Yeah, your right.
Appreciate both of your input, but now adb won't even recognize that the phone is attached in the stock kk4 1 click, even in recovery. Like I said the gallery is totally empty and my USB storage on the about phone shows that all of the storage is available, so I'm gonna guess it's all gone. I'll try flashing one of the custom kernels for kk4 just to give it one last try, but I'm not holding out much hope here.
How are you trying to connect to your computer with adb? All you have to do is turn usb debugging on and plug in. open a command prompt terminal. Any of that sound familiar?
There should be a "my files" app you can explore the sdcard that way.
Pictures are in DCIM/camera folder.
the stock 1 click did not have a usb debugging option. Got it to work connecting with samurai 1.4.3, but the directories are showing empty or nonexistent.
Studacris,
You must have been posting while I replied. I've used the my files app and it shows dcim as empty. Now, my wife has decided she's gonna give up on the phone since this was her warranty replacement after her first 1 completely bricked after our daughter played with it. Never could get that one to even boot, although, I've found that this one won't boot to download with a jig, have to use the battery pull, vol +/vol -, insert usb cable method.
Thanks again for the attempts, but I think it's a lost cause, so I'm giving up.
Flash it back to stock and get it replaced again.

[Q] Recovering files from broken phone

First of all, i have tried to solve this problem for hours and so far i don't have found anything that could help me.
So my screen is broken, completetely black, and i would like to save some files from my galaxy S(files are NOT on external SD card). Connecting phone to computer doesnt help because i should turn mass media mode on, and thats kind of hard when the touch screen is not working. Kies recognizes my phone(tries to connect), but can't connect because i should turn some other mode on? I have read that it could be possible to save files with ADB and i even tried but i didnt find any suitable instructions. So could anybody tell me how to save my holiday pictures :crying:

Hi,
I have a solution for you
No need to turn on mass storage.
What you need:
USB cable
Working pc
Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
USB Driver http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
1. Download and install this tool: http://de.codeplex.com/releases/view/107423
2. Boot your phone into recovery (worked for me) ( volume up+home+power)
3. Connect your usb cable
4. Start Droid Explorer and search for your sd card

Thank you for your answer. I think i can't get my phone into recevory mode. At least Droid explorer doesn't find it. When i try to boot it into recovery, my computer makes that "connected sound" several times, so i think the phone really is broken... Also, when the phone is connected to computer with usb cable, and i put the battery into the phone, i can hear that connected sound immediately, so i guess the phone automatically boots on? Well i keep trying but i think it is not possible to boot this phone into recovery mode

What you need therefore is a (rooted) phone and USB debugging must be enabled - at least I never tried withouit thos options turned on. Since you don't need to do sthg with su I think technically you can go without root as well, but did never run it without so not sure on that. Hope you had USB debugging active before your screen broke...
Install the adb tools on your pc if you haven't already. (google is your friend )
What you want to do now is connect your phone to the PC, open up a terminal session (within windows e.g. execute -> cmd ) and then fire up those commands:
Code:
adb
lot of stuff, ignore - if it doesn't work: google installing drivers and the adb tools
Code:
adb devices
here your phone should be listed if it is in debugging mode.
then just
Code:
adb pull [pathToYourHolidaypics] [pathToSaveOnHarddisk]
so for example:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/DCIM Holidaypics
and you photos should be rescued. Good luck!

Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately, this method doesn't find my phone either.. I think that USB debugging mode was on but can't say for sure. Maybe my Samsung is just completely broken. I guess we are out of ways to recover files . Thank you for your help and of course feel free to post anything if anybody have any idea.
