[Q] Help Unlocking Galaxy S SCH-I500

I am new to all of this, I am now in Germany from the US and I am trying to unlock my Samsung Fascinate Galaxy S Hardware I500.04, Build #SCH=I500.ED05, Kernel2.6.32.9, Firmware 2.2.2. I don't have any internet connections but I want to just find a sim card for my phone I have activated USB debugging and used Super One Click to root my phone, it installed super user and then I applied galaxy s Unlock and then got a message that busybox had a problem and to fix it...but I have no clue how to proceed.
It initially created a folder on my phone Galaxy S Unlock and a sub-folder called efs but I am not sure what I should copy to it and how I can actually see all the documents and files when I am stuck using windows vista x64. I tried installing an android explorer program on my computer but the install failed...some config. issues.
Explorer is how I loaded the app programs on my phone by simply copying them to the download folder and once there, simply installed it but still get the same message concerning busybox...I have read the forum but I am not following too well can someone please help me? I forgot to mention I installed z4Root too. I only have access to any downloads on my PC no phone service at all. Can someone set me on the path to success?

Can't see Internal Storage>DCIM>Camera from my PC

Any photographs that I take with the cameras on my N6 are placed in the directory Internal Storage>DCIM>Camera.
However, when I connect my phone to my PC, I cannot see this directory in Windows Explorer on my PC - all I can see is Nexus 6>Internal Storage>DCIM (which has a subdirectory .thumbnails in it).
It doesn't make any difference whether I have the phone set to "Use USB for File Transfers" or "Use USB for Photo transfer (PTP)".
However, if I use ES File Explorer Pro on my phone, then I can see the Camera subdirectory (and I can see the .JPG files within that directory). I can also use ES File Explorer to copy the .JPG files from the Camera directory into a new directory that I have created in Internal Storage. I can then see this new directory (and the copies of the .JPG files) in Windows Explorer on my PC.
Any suggestions as to how I can get my PC to see the Camera directory?
(Phone is a Nexus 6, rooted, running 6.0.1 MOB30D and Cataclysm. PC is running Windows 10).

boo in twrp recovery,connect phone to pc,mount internal storage and see whether you can see on pc or not.

Thanks. Yes, that works - I didn't even need to mount the Internal Storage. I can see the Camera directory and copy files from it to my PC.
Not sure what that tells me, though.

I use this app Media.re.scan. Depending on how a file is saved the media journal may not be updated which makes certain things not see the new files namely MTP and PTP functions in android. Run that app and tell it to scan and it'll make all new files show up.

I have a Samsung np700z series running W10 with 2 USB 3.0 ports and a 2.0. I've always had trouble with the 3.0 ports on W7 W8 and ten. They work fine for anything else except cause the problem you describe. Using my 2.0 I don't have nearly as much trouble. I know the Samsung hardware and windows has this issue and it's never been resolved. Sometimes it takes a few plug unplugs and sometimes it doesn't recognize it right away. This problem has persisted from a note 2 to N6, from KitKat to N which leads me to believe it's not the phone or phone OS. Fwiw.

What system are you on? On Mac you might need to install the android file transfer tool. If on a different system just try googling it, there's loads of help out there.

If using the command line then adb is reliable. Googling how to setup adb should help.

I found the issue and it was driver related but at first i though it was the phone

To solve the problem of transferring files from the computer (Windows 7 ) Copy the file from the computer into the folder of images in the mobile storage , tried the way and succeeded with me, if you can not find a folder for pictures taken pictures with the camera will show you folder

Phone not seeing files moved from PC

I just got the Prime R1 HD 16gb today and did TWRP and root. The only issue I've had is for some reason if I move a file onto the phone from my PC with a USB cable, it wont show up. E.G. If I move a file to my downloads folder, it wont be there, but if I download the same file through the phone from the internet it works. I can still see the files I've moved onto the phone from the PC if I use a file explorer, but it wont let me do anything with them. I tried going into the TWRP menu and switched the system off of read only thinking that may help, but it seems to have not done a thing. Complete beginner when it comes to this kind of thing if it isn't obvious. Any ideas?

That sounds familiar to the mtp "bug" Android has had for years.
The media storage database does not update when files are added from mtp.
Some work around that are listed are to use USB transfer instead. (Not used that one before)
Disconnect usb cable clear the data if the media storage app and force close it, then reconnect usb is should rescan the media and rebuild database.
Or just a reboot(I have done this and it usually works)

Hidden files somewhere...

I have a Note 9 Exynos dual sim, stock Android 9.
I used a new video software and recorded something important that saves into folder /storage/emulated/150/video
I can not find this file anywhere, possibly because I am not rooted? The adb pull command doesn't work either.
I can see and play the file from the apps internal gallery but that is it....I can't upload to onedrive or transfer to PC.
What needs to be done to get this file from my phone to PC?
Thank you for your help.

go into your file manager and move it to another folder or your external SD card. If you can move it internally, you should be able to view it from your PC and therefore transfer it. If you cant move it internally (cant imagine why you wouldnt be able to) then youre hosed. But that sounds like a unicorn situation.

Thanks but I cannot see it in any file manager I have checked so far. I only see it in the Apps own gallery...

Is the app a secret too?

It's called Quick Video Recorder. It's great for one button instant record function... But it isn't great if you want your videos off your phone it seems ?

Can I root safely without losing my data? From what I've read online rooting removes knox encryption and Samsung Pay and this can't be reversed... Is that correct?

SOLVED!
I solved this by putting the file manager app into the secure folder where the app is located. Then I could navigate to it. Makes sense really.
