Hello, my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 fell and the screen is broken.
When I turn on the phone, I can hear the start up sound. When I connect it to PC, the drives are recognized but not mounted as I cannot select the menu in the phone.
USB debugging was not selected.
Is there a way to access the internal storage as I need to recover the data?
Please help.
1)activate phone in recovery mode (POWER+VOL UP+HOME)
2)connect the phone via usb to a computer
3)use adb to recover your files (i would recommend checking this guide or any other you can find, if you dont know how to use adb: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619153 )
You can mount USB Storage in CWM Recovery if you have it. If not try to flash a kernel with it, like CF-root or Speedmod.
Having the same problem, however I can't enable USB Debugging as my touchscreen is non-responsive and my android device doesn't support OTG USB mice etc

you have a big problem, have you try with linux, like ubuntu, perhaps you have more luck
You can flash cf root which comes with CWM recovery. Then mount USB storage with cwm recovery (press volume up+home+power) then you can access the internalbsd card.
similar problem
Hi I have a very similar problem with my Xperia S LT26i. I dropped it into the bath and it was only in the water for about 30 seconds. Now the touchscreen is not working and the colour has stared to bleed out of the screen. the screen was fine first (looked normal) but now it is very faint and mono-colour which seems to keep changing for dark to white.
I have plugged it into three different computers now and the phone is shown but nothing in it is shown. The USB debugging was not enabled, as previously I didn't know this had to be enabled. Please tell me there is a way around this? the phone itself is still working as I have had a phone call and texts come through. really want to save my data please help!
PC companion doesn't read it either as it says the phone has to have USB debugging enabled. also apparently the Xperia S doesn't have a recovery mode.
Recently my Galaxy s2's screen smashed, and, after replacing it with a GS4, i realized that many of my pictures were stuck on the internal sd card of the GS2. Being unable to turn on mass storage mode, I made a very simple tool that makes using adb pull a simple, painless process, even for the most computer illiterate of android users. Hope this helps if anyone needs it

I had a quick question regarding my Captivate that doesnt have a working USB data connection.
My phone has been without a USB data connection for a bit. I posted a couple threads about it but concluded its definitely a hardware issue. I have no issue charging the phone but neither the computer nor the phone recognizes a USB data connection or offers options for mounting it.
So my next question is... can I push kernel updates (preferably one that will allow for a 2e recovery mode) via a terminal emulator? Im stuck on Cognition 2.2beta3 and it has 3e recovery mode. Im unable to run any update.zip files to bring the phone back close to stock. I can get files on the phone with the Websharing app and I can access the terminal via the emulator and boot into both recovery and download mode. Neither do anything for me though with the 3e recovery and lack of USB connection.
I saw an old thread for a kernel that mentioned you could swap them this way:
Scary way to get original kernel back
If you really really want to go back to the kernel you had before applying the lagfix kernel (why?), first disable the lagfix as explained above. Then you will need to get into adb shell, with root.
Code:
thor$ adb shell
$ su
# redbend_ua restore bml7-zImage-kernel-backup.img /dev/block/bml7

Any of this look familiar to any one? Any other methods to get a kernel with 2e recovery into a phone with no USB data connection?
Thanks in advance!
Just to be clear... you are able to charge your phone, but are unable to establish a data connection to a computer? IF so what tests have you performed in attempt to connect via usb? Can you describe what you have tried?
I have attempted every way I can possibly think on a variety of computers with different cables.
I have used
* linux boxes
* windows boxes
* multiple micro usb cables
* usb debugging
* samsung kies
* mass storage
* 32 bit drivers(and systems)
* 64 bit drivers(and systems)
the phone wont even show the mount command when I plug it in to the computer. the computer will occasionally recognize 7 CDCs, which I believe has to do with usb tethering, though im not sure.
i get no android devices, no mass storage devices... absolutely nothing.
i can get the phone into download mode and recovery mode via terminal emulators. download mode wont connect to the computer at all, and recovery mode is 3e recovery which wont allow the selfsigned update.zips.
ive probably done more, but i really cant remember now. im pretty computer savvy, so the computer isnt my issue. its the phone not making a data connection.
Sounds like your usb connector on the phone is the culprit. That is a physical issue with your phone and only the manufacturer can repair. Looks like the connector is hosed!
Hello
I got G1, rooted it, got 1033d? SPL and 27.08 radio. Installed ezGingerbread (28.08 version). When I plug it in via USB cable, i got notifications on phone:
USB debugging connected
USB connected (Select to copy files to/from computer)
When i proceed to enable USB mass Storage, after clicking button which enables it, phone restarts.
If i dont enable Mass Storage on phone, in windows (7) i can see "Removable Disk",
But cant see its size, or access it.
When I enabled Mass Storage for first time on phone, i saw size of removable disk, (its around 3 GB, with couple of MB taken). When i tried to access it, phone restarted.
Each time after that, phone restarts immediately after clicking enable USB mass Storage.
I tried restarting computer and reinstalling drivers, no luck...
EDIT1:
adb and fastboot work correctly
misc: this is my first smartphone, second day of using it, so i may be missing something obvious
Not bad for a first day. You seem to be doing everything right.
I just tried it on Linux and everything works well, but Windows could be different.
Since you have ADB working you can type "adb logcat" into a shell before you try to connect USB Storage and it should give a useful message before restarting. It is also possible to get the last kernel messages before the phone restarted with "adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg" Either of those should tell "someone" what the problem is.
Hi everyone, hope someone can help me.
I dropped my beloved I9000 and now the display is broken inside (glass still intact). I guess its time for a new phone. However I'd like to recover some data from the internal sd (like db-backups from some of my apps).
Since I cannot see anything on the display anymore I'd just like to be able to connect via debugging bridge to use adb (to enable me to copy the backup files to pc).
Is there anyway to use cwm or download mode to connect the phone via adb? What would be the sequence i need to navigate blindly through the cwm menu?
Or is there another way?
Thanks for any helpful answers!

You could mount your phone memory via CWM with the following combination:
-> Get into recovery mode
-5x down
-enter
-2x up
-enter
This should mount your internal SD.
What is your last kernel?
This is quite important
As kernel devs use different recovery's
@BlueFlame: Thanks for the instructions. Will try soon.
@ zodiak: don't know exactly. Las rom i flashed was the 3.1 version of the slim ICS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488096
@BlueFlame
Thanks so much. That did the trick!!!!
Hello all,
I have the same problem my scren crackei, i was able to enter recovery and with the 5 button down and 2 up it seems that the phone connects to the pc as windows makes a noise and says the galaxy is connected.
The issue is that i dont see any new "removable disks" in the pc, is there something else i should be doing ?
Thank you
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.

It should be in USB storage mode. I dont know what mode is on atm. Even Kies doenst recognize phone
hello
dropped my N6 on to a marble floor, the screen is black and touch is not responding. the phone seems to be working otherwise. usb debugging is off, the phone is fully stock (stock recovery, bootloader is locked, encryption is the marshmellow default, phone is not rooted). There is no lockscreen pin or pattern, just the standard slide to unlock. photos are not auto-backed up online, so I need access to the phone itself.
when I plug the phone into my computer, I cannot file explore it because I need to enable a prompt on the phone to MTP instead of charge only. as USB debug if off I cannot use ADP PULL / SDCARD.
I have two ideas:
1) use Wug's nexus root toolkit and do something there like put TWRP on, and then use TWRP to avoid the USB debug being off. I'm not sure on the details of this though! Any guide on the steps here? the power and volume hardware keys work, so in theory I can get into recovery with the right steps.
2) get a micro-usb hub, and plug in a wired mouse as well as connect to my computer, then blindly click about hoping that I enable MTP or USB debugging. I can then either copy files off in windows explorer or use Vysor to control the phone over ADB and email files etc as needed. Would this work? I don't have a hub so would need to spend £5-10 buying one
Many thanks in advance for any help!
Option 1 won't work because the bootloader is locked. You'll have to try option 2.
