[Solved]Mount storage with broken screen?

Hello all. Searching didn't get me an answer. I'm curious if there's a way to mount the internal storage to a PC with a cracked screen. Phone definitely turns on but screen is shot. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Are you lucky enough to have cwm recovery? You van mount it through there with just button presses. Done it myself, granted I had a second phone to guide me through how many times I needed to press the buttons, but it worked like a curse!

Unfortunately no. Its a friends phone so it was never rooted. Does stock recovery have that option?

Well....damn.
I'm pretty sure it's not in stock recovery.
Was usb debuging turned on? You can use adb to pull everything from /sdcard

Not sure its worth a shot.
Adb pull /sdcard?

No luck with adb what is download mode? Any way to use that?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

No. download mode is for flashing software onto the phone.

Been a while since I messed with my captivate but couldn't he use Odin to flash a kernel with recovery and go from there?

****, you are exactly right!!
note to self:dont answer questions until you've had your morning coffee!!
op grab a .tar from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893880&highlight=speedmod
and research how to use odin. then you will need a screen shot of cwm to guide you through how many button presses you need.

And this wont wipe the internal SD?
And I don't need root first?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

doesn't touch the internal SD
and download mode happens outside the OS no root needed.

Ill give it a go tonight or tomorrow will report back.

ok after flashing the kernal through odin the phone is found in adb. what is the command to pull the files from the internal sd and save them to my desktop?

http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html#commandsummary
Adb pull /mnt/sdcard c:\users\(you)\desktop
I believe or something like that. I honestly don't use adb too often.
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

Got it! Thank you very much! For reference its /mnt/sdcard.

Awesome man!
Glad to hear.

I am in the same situation but the phone is rooted and has a custom rom.

If you can get adb to recognize the phone the command is adb pull /mnt/sdcard

After having a really bad day at work I ended up putting my phone into a wall as hard as i could - the result: A destroyed screen
The instructions here work like a charm & I was able to copy the entire contents of the SD card over to my computer - adb pull /mnt/sdcard Ti Backup is a little outdated but I am not complaining. Thanks all!

Data wipe password request

I was asked to fix a galaxy s i9000T by my friend and when i tried to wipe data from recovery it asked for a password.
Can someone tell me whats the password?
This is the first time i see a password confirmation screen on recovery.
Oh and one more thing if someone knows how to.bypass the pattern lock screen and how to setup adb.so it would really help me in the whole proccess.

Install the new aroma file manager with terminal emulator (can be found in portal) Flash via recovery and enter terminal. Then:
su
rm /data/system/gesture.key
rm /data/system/password.key
exit
exit

I can't access terminal. (Do you mean the terminal on.the pc or the phone cause I.can't access my phone and from pc I don't know how to setup adb) cause my phone is locked with pattern and I can't unlock it and what do you mean (can be found in portal)?

On the device. Terminal emulator can now be used in recovery!
Download the aroma file manager with the terminal that works in recovery off the phone go here.
Then boot into recovery, mount USB storage to your pc,
Transfer the zip file to your phone, and then flash it from recovery.
It will open into a file manager. I believe you go to settings, start terminal. (refer to thread). Then do the commands that I listed above. Sucess

[Q] no imei on lg thrill

im new and can not figure out what is going on with this phone. ive tried to do whats listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734330&page=8 but i can not get it to work. the "Erase entire CP" is grayed out. totally lost. this has been the worst android issue ive ran into that i couldnt fix
edit.... i was able to erase entire cp but now i'm getting stuck on step 5 restoring imei? no new device shows up when i do step 4... thanks for any help
Restoring IMEI
1. Connect phone by USB
2. Activate USB debug mode
3. Enter 3845#*920# in dialer if that doesn’t work try 3845#*925#
4. Select Port Settings -> Select CP Image Download
5. A new device should appear at let it install
6. Open Tutty and select serial protocol. Click on open
7. Type AT if response is not OK, change port number (it is possible that when typing you don’t see any letters)
8. Type at%imei, it should display a dummy IMEI
9. Type at%imei=x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x where x,x,x... is your orginal IMEI number (found under the battery of your phone). It should response IMEI WRITE OK
10. Reboot phone

I just had the same thing. You need to make sure the right drivers are installed. Are you on GB or ICS?

Do you have the drivers installed? Is your phone detected correctly by your PC?

where can i get tutty?
EDIT: i got tutty, com 4 and 5 dont work only com3 works, com3 command"at%imei" gives me error, and the phone switches from cp image download to cp usb

I have the same problem only my phone never lets me type anything at all into putty, but just like you no new device shows and it always goes back to cp usb.
I also cannot flash the phone unless using CWM. If I try to flash kdz or bin I always get stuck at waiting for IFX modem, if I try using the official lg mobile updater it the install always hangs at 15% and I get message saying phone is no longer connected to pc.

You open Tutty on your PC

[Q] Broken Screen..

Hi everyone, unfortunatly i broke my screen, my phone was rooted and i was using CM7
i would like to recover my files, but due to the my broken screen i can't see anything so i can't mount usb storage,
I also heard that if i activate usb debugging mode i can acces my files easily.. but debugging mode wasn't activated..
and finally I heard that through Recovery Mode, i can mount usb storage, but once again i cannot see or do anything ..
so can you help me please ?
thanks a lot for your help, and thanks to everyone on this forum for their help and their roms etc !

AW: [Q] Broken Screen..
Search on google for a pic from the the right recovery version then you navigate blind witch the picture.
If this dont work you can force the into recovery mode and plug it to the PC. You can save your data using adb without enabling usb debugging

thanks a lot !

AW: [Q] Broken Screen..
Go into recovery and plug it to the pc. Open cmd and navigate to your adb folder. Then type "adb devices" you should now see your phone listed as some random numbers. If not you did something wrong.
If you see your device type this "adb pull /sdcard C:\…" and the whole sd should be copied to the directory.

thanks a lot !! with this method can i also save my contacts, notes etc ? thank you so much !!

AW: [Q] Broken Screen..
The contacts are normally saved with your gmail account.
With this command you push your whole sd to the pc but i think if you want also the app data you have to use another command and you need root.

Again, ADB shell is used from a PC while your GT is connected and in recovery mode, not on your phone directly. First Google something like "android SDK" and find the download from Google. Its big! Install it on your PC. Test your USB connection. Then come back here...
