[Q] How to copy the data from internal SD with Broken Screen

My galaxy Screen was broken by accident, but the phone boot and I can hear all the sounds. I can connect the phone to my Laptop and the computer recognize the phone and the sd card. But, I can't access the sd card, because I can confirm to mount to USB.
It's there's a way to access the internal SD card so I can retrieve all the information and TIBU directory with all the apps data.
Thanks

not sure but if u were on custom recovery then u can mount through that and try....

Thanks, for you're time, but how do I go there. If I can see anything on Screen. The phone was running Illuminance 3.01, with Corn Kernel. That means that I have CWM installed, but I can see anything.

Thanks, I read the post. But I don't have a spare phone to follow the menues in CWM. Fortunately I found the app MyPhoneExplorer and I have the debug option allways in. I just install and run the app, browse the files and copy the files to my computer.
Thanks God, I have all my information and apps safe in my Laptop. Just in case I made a DVD copy of the info. LOL
Thanks.

That's cool you got it all with that program. Good deal.
but, i gave the button count so you didn't need a second phone, or that app...

if you boot into recovery (with adb reboot recovery) it should be volume down 6 times, then power, vol up twice then power and that should get you to mount the sdcard so you an just use windows gui to copy everything over instead of a command prompt

[Q] How to flash a ROM with out USB

I started this thread in the "General discussion" section about this but I'm starting to think my problem might be more SGS specific.
My problem is that my phones USB connection stopped working then I foolishly reformatted my system partition with out having another ROM with which to replace it. I still have "ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3" installed but am unable to find a way to install another ROM. Most people seem to say flashing from an external SD card is trivial with CWM but I can't work out how to do it. Does anyone know a way to flash a ROM from the external SD card with CWM v2.5.1.3 on an SGS, or any other way I could get an image back on my phone that doesn't require a working USB connection?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Go into update from zip as usual then scroll down to external sd... if that's not working go into advanced and check if external sd is mounted

You may need to update cwm, I don't think the earlier versions hadan option to flash from Ext sd

Yeah, I think that might be the case. There is an option to "mount /sd-ext" but I don't think that actually mounts the external SD card. I think it has something to do with an "extended" or "extra" partition. In any event, when I select the option I get this error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
(File exists)
Error mounting SDEXT:!​
Also, I can't see an "external sd" option under "update from zip". Under "install zip from scdard" there is an option to "choose zip from sdcard" but this doesn't seem to access the external card.
Any idea how I might be able to update to a later version of CWM?

ROM manager should offer you latest cwm,

Try plugging the phone In to the computer when In recovery and mount USB storage and see if it comes up on your pc?

If you get room manager from the market it has options to instal various versions of cwm

No worries (it was pretty stupid of me).
Called a repair shop today, it will cost $80 to get the USB port replaced. Trying to decide between forking out $80 or donating it to landfill.

Have you tried pushing files to sd card with adb?

Since the phone is worth over £200 I would get it fixed you should look online and see how easy it is to fix you might be able to or know someone who can fix it at a cheap price (that part is most likely on sale online for way less)

Well, here it is: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Samsung-...Parts_Tools&hash=item2571b036fe#ht_1558wt_952
Just have to work out how to do it now.
I had the phone in pieces the other night trying to clean the port and that socket seem pretty firmly attached. Have to see if I can turn up any instructions. There are lots of sights saying they'll do it for you but haven't been able to find any instructions on how to do it myself yet.

[Q] Recover data from Soft Bricked Phone

First I'd like to thank you for spending time to help me out with my problem. I've tried to handle the problem on my own for the past 2 days, and amount to nothing. I've searched the internet about this issue, and tried to adb pull my photos and tried to flash using ODIN v3.07. But the device doesn't seem to be able to be detected by few computers I've tried. I've changed different cables to see if it would help, but it doesn't help either. I've also tried to use Odin v3.04 to see if it helped.
Problem: Galaxy note is stuck at the samsung logo and cannot continue to main screen.
Cause: Removed battery to take memory card out, after that, reinsert the SD card and the problem occurs. (Battery was also at the low)
Needs: Recover photo from phone
Prevent: Factory reset
What the phone does:
Samsung Mobile USB composite successfully connected
Can get to download mode
What it can't:
Samsung MTP USB failed to connect
Not detected in ODIN v3.07
Phone Condition:
GT N7000 (International version)
Have never been rooted before
1 year 3 months age
Thank you so much for your attention, I hope all you "GURUs" can help out a noob like me.

photos? are those saved in the gallery? taken by cam?
if yes the factory reset doesnot erase that...
1. try booting without the sd card..
2. I dont know which rom were you on .. hopefully ICS.even if no.. download http://www.mediafire.com/?wsmj7fytof14bf1 & http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1408182&stc=1&d=1350455938 and place it on sd card..
then boot into recovery and choose apply update from external storage.. choose the kernel (1st zip Philz) you downloaded and install..
once done.. power off the phone and reboot into recovery .. CWM should be there..
go to mounts and storage and choose mount usb storage and conenct to PC.. check if you can get the drives there... (may take a few secs)
if no.. then install the 2nd zip.. aroma file manager.. this will give you a file manager in recovery... you can copy required files from the internal SD to external SD. then power off and remove the sd card..

Thank you so much!
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! Thanks to you, I can have a good night sleep. :fingers-crossed: You're clearly a Guru! Better than the staff's I've consulted from Samsung Service. Again, thank you!

did you manage to recover the photos? how?

I used the first kernel (Philz) and updated the phone through SD card, mounted the USB through CWM and connect to my computer. Then I got the notification from my computer it got detected. Yeah! Haha, thank you so much!
Now, trying to figure out is it possible to flash odin using this technique.

no...
but you could try doing a factory reset.. .. and check if the phone boots up.. keep in mind that you now have an ICS kernel.. so if the rom was ics then the phone may boot up.. but if it was JB or GB then it wont..
you can also try to install a custom rom from here..

Thank you so much for your insights. Sorry to bother you, but which Custom Rom do you recommend? I'd like to have an experts point of view.

hmmm thats really hard to answer... but you could try JB for note. like eybees, or ulitmate and more..

Sir
newbie here.My device isn't rooted.Yesterday, I downloaded Marshmallow update 6.0.1.At 43%,I started the update.I thought it will complete in that.you know,the logo and all came.I watched it updating till 85% then got on with my work.Then,I felt a vibration.I saw it rebooting and then it showed samsung logo in all white.It wouldn't move forwards after that.I heard 3 vibrations periodically.The 1st one...4 sec gap...and then the 2nd & 3rd vibrations in quick succession.And it would go on infinitely until the battery discharged.I plugged it in the wall charger and then I noticed the charging has also become very slow.I left it for charging at 6 AM and till now(12:14pm),its just 58%.I read in a thread about force restrat and quickly going into recovery mode.I wiped the cache partition hoping it would solve the problem but it didn't. I couldn't understand the rest of the part,so I didn't try.I selected power off option and right now it is charging.I have important data stored on the internal storage so I fear doing a factory reset.I also have fingerprint lock on it so I have no idea how to connect to PC and use.I got no idea about flashing roms.Is there any possible way to revert back to lollipop? I just want my data before I do something.Please help.I really want my data.I can manage without the tab.
I want to recover photos and no,they were not taken by camera.Rather,they were transferred to the device via sharing apps and I deleted other copies.Please help.I need my data.

I stay far away from solo kernels. Only if it is packed i a recovery file.Till now, i don't have problems, whatever I try to do with my Note.
From 4.1.2 to 7.1.1, no problem.

I know this is an old thread and these files probably are not up to date either. Hope someone can help.
I tried the philz zip and it went by quick but I believe I got a "signature not verified error."
I tried the aroma zip and I think it said "incorrect footer?"
Thanks for any help.

[Problem] Stock Recovery - nothing in "apply zip"

Hello,
After some problems with mounting sd card on some ROMs I finally returned to stock firmware for i9070. One problem is - I do not see nothing in "apply zip..." either from sdcard or memory. I don't see nothing in catalogue tree. What should I do? I would try another time with one ROM but I cannot flash it via stock recovery. I tried to flash CWM (with kernel) but it has bricked my phone ;/
Or if somebody will provide me a link to good "other recovery" for i9070 I will be pleased and shake your hand

You need to install kernel with custom recovery. You did not tell what os yoh use, JB or GB.
P.S. You can't install ROM with stock recovery.

You probably had CWM, not stock recovery.
Root phone.
Install CoCore-E, Harsh build. (Unzip it, use kernel.bin.md5 with Universal Kernel flasher, and you will need some root explorer like ES file explorer to use file with Universal kernel flasher.
Voila.

Thank you so much - I'll try tomorrow
Uh. Uh. But wait. I don't see root.zip in that stock recovery. I can see nothing. That's the deal...

You must put it in external SD card.
And if you put it there, and still do not see anything - you need to repartition your sd card. Tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
Remember - repartition - not format. Backup your data from it, because you will loose everything from it.

Use USB mass storage. And you will see SD as you see it with card reader.

If you are talking about cwm, then sometimes you need to unmount either sdcard or emmc

[Q] Transerring files through CRM

I currently have no rom installed due to me wiping the cache and data. I'm trying to put the cyanogenmod 11 zip on the sd card by mounting usb storage, however it doesn't allow to copy it over to the sd and just says "discovering items". Upon mounting the usb storage it recommends me to fix the device as there are some problems with files, I tried the scan and fix options but it did not help.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

On some kernels you can use connection to PC when you are in recovery, on some not. I do not know on what kernel and recovery you are now. But it seems it is not working. So solution is to do nandroid restore if you made a nandroid backup in recovery. I suppose you did not, so now your option is to flash stock JB from Download Mode with Odin, and copy ROM while you are in system. Or use some other phone and put SD card in it and copy like that.

Some of it has, some do not. I am not sure what version has it and what do not. I remember some version, maybe CoCore opens internal and external storage on PC automatically. But I can't remember was it CoCore or some else.

Actually it's something interesting, a senior. Like when Windows95 new entry in our country. At that time the system "DOS For Windows" is still very familiar in computer lessons in our education. (Developing Countries). So we can still do "Copy" and "Paste" via diskette in the system "DOS". I think CWM is almost similar to the DOS system. I mean, CWM will be very useful if a time on the android main system can not be done. Of course may be done through CWM. cmiiw.
