USB data jumper for SM-G110B - Galaxy Pocket 2 Duos - Samsung Galaxy Pocket

Hello,
I have a Galaxy SM-G110B, or Galaxy Pocket galaxy 2 duos that is:
1- Password locked;
2- Touchscreen not working;
3- Not recognized by PC if connected by usb;
4- No OTG support.
I have data like PRICELESS photos and videos of my engagement that I CAN'T ADMIT TO LOSE.
I would like to try 2 options:
A) Try to recover the touchscreen;
B) Try to recover the USB data connection.
I have an electronics degree and have already made repairs on SMD components without problems.
However:
1st - All troubleshooting tests related to the touchscreen (according to the service manual of the device), show everything normal (tests of tension of some components and of the module's charge and even replacement of the complete module).
2nd - I can not find jumper schemes for the data pins of the USB connector that work.
I need a good person to enlighten me with:
* a jumper scheme of the USB connector data pins THAT WORKS,
or
* more tests for touchscreen
or
* a way to recover data from the internal memory in any way, via hardware or via device's stock recovery.
I'll be absurdly grateful !!!
I'll answer any question if it helps.
Thanks in advance!!!

Surely you already thrown the phone to the trash, but I'll post if anyone in the future needs this (not so useful though)
A "common" way for recovering data on such cases is to just replace the eMMC of another (same model) phone with the one which has the data. A funnier way would be connect the eMMC into a box which supports it (most of them should do).
Oh, and you can also flash CWM, make an script which copies the /data partition into a SD, flash it using volume buttons and GG ez (this all asumming USB works on flash mode or you already have cwm lol)

BA as car(pocket)pc

I've bought a used xv6600 off ebay which I'm going to convert to a carpc.
As a first time BA user, i have a few questions.
I have read the wiki/searched the forum, but I'm a bit mixed up and hence posting this thread.
installed versions on the phone:
model: PH20A2
ROM version: 1.36.00 WWE
ROM date 01/13/05
radio HA01_151
protocol AA.3.3.3.01
PRL 50619
extrom 1.36.116 WWE
hardware version 0041
a few notes:
- Its not going to be used as a phone as I can't register it with my local cellular provider (although they do support CMDA EVDO) - so I couldnt care less about if its radio works..
- Its going to be paired to a BT GPS from socket.
- the BA/xv6600 is going to be permanently mounted into the car (I'm still designing how, it would be in horizontal mode though).
- since It'll be permanently mounted, I won't (and couldnt) use the keyboard..
- audio out is going to be used to connect to an external speaker
- the BA will be charged from the car's 12v (always connected).
my questions are:
1) where could I find schematics for getting audio output (if exists), as well as where to connect the charge directly to the BA's connector.
I have only a cradle, no sync cable, which means I'd probably have to open up the BA and soldier directly, or get a connector...
2) should I connect audio out to the connector (if possible?) or the 2.5mm output on top of the device.. ?
3) I'd be interested in upgrading to WM5, I've read on the forums that it isn't possible on the CDMA versions because the radio doesnt work (or does it?). Since I don't care about the radio, could I install WM5 ? which ROM would be suitable for my BA model ?
awaiting your answers,
thanks!
Sounds like a neat project

Might be a bad idea...car batteries are designed to give out high power for short periods, not low constant drains. Personally I'd connect it to the ignition circuit so it's only powered when the ACC line is live. This will also turn it off for you after X minutes if you use the "auto-power off on batteries" function. It may even turn it on for you!

The connector does have audio available. Buy a cable and hack it because if you mess it up you just buy another. Messing up the connector itself on the phone is more fatal. I think the schematic is on the wiki for the actual pin outs.
You might also find these useful:

yes after constant searching , i also found those threads.
Yet I'm wondering, some connectors don't include all 22 pins, but only the ones actually used for charging (for example) - and then it'll be really hard to hack them.
I guess i'll just have to hope I buy one that does have all 22 pins installed... unless you have other idea's for me.
Also, for the charger, you're right, I didn't mention that, but thats somewhat my intention.
Since the unit will be permanently mounted, I won't be able to sync it (unless I bring a laptop to my car) - could I somehow get a two SD cards installed at once to the unit ?

Yes, that's correct. If you get a charge & sync cable you'll have most. Might need to take audio from the 2.5mm jack in that case. That's probably the simplest solution if you cannot get a fully wired one. I'm interested in this sort of thing, so if you could post an update on what you go with I'd be grateful.

I doubt you could get two SD cards. What may be possible is some sort of SD card extension device. Never seen one (never looked), but if it existed you could have a dash-mounted SD card.
Bluetooth or WiFi might help you e.g. with WiFi you could browse a network share to copy music over from your house. Also, there is a tool for WM5 that turns the phone into a keydrive, i.e. a USB mass storage device. Unless you need contacts etc sync'ed, that might be a bit simpler & give you more options to what you can hook up for.
PS bluetooth on WM5 isn't all that great. There is a "fix" that wakes the device now and then. This would light up your car overnight and might possibly be a thief magnet. On the other hand, if the battery dies on WM2003, you lose the data on it.
- At first I thought of making the device extractable, so I thought it'll be better to use the connector on the bottom for audio, but I've decided not to go this route (more complications and harder to make - also makes it easier for thieves.
So I'm probably going to go for the 2.5mm jack for audio.
- as for SD, since the SD slot won't be accessible, I thought of making an SD slot on the dashboard - and I'd like to switch between both.
an SD is connected via 9 pins, meaning making an SD switch is possible, but you wouldn't be able to use both.. thus I was wondering if software/hardware wise there is a builtin capabilty of such a thing as using two SD's at once. that'll be really cool.
- unfortunatly my XV6600 does not have WIFI, and BT is NOT an option for syncing (too slow !! - just imagine syncing 2gb of audio/vid via bluetooth..)
the two idea's I've had is making a USB connector on the dash (just incase I can get a laptop in the car..)
and the other, was the dash SD slot..
- for bluetooth, can't I just disable auto wakeup ?
- how will upgrading to WM5 save my data even if the battery drains ? its the same RAM chip's, not flash ROM, isn't that right ?
- as for HR's, the question is if I can somehow get the unit to 'working order' by installing software from the SD card, without actually syncing it to a computer..
fraser: Since I'm going to be connecting the ppc to the ignition circuit, and I'd also like to have a USB connector on the dashboard, I'd need to switch between the two.
i already have a car 12v connector -> usb charger device.
Should I buy a SYNC cable and convert it to charger, or car charger and convert it to USB cable ?
(although car charger might not have all the right pins..)

Never heard of that I'm afraid. A switcher may work, but make sure there aren't any other physical switches that get tripped when you put a card in.

No, this BT issue is the biggest one on WM5

No, it's different ones. WM5 uses the "storage" area for your personal data; you now no longer have /storage as it's all in there. The RAM becomes proper RAM, although you can use some of it as a ramdisk with the same loss-of-power issues as WM2003.

That's exactly what I do. I've stopped using the PC installers, there is enough junk on my PC. Just find the cabs for the apps and keep a copy on the SD card.
Not all apps have cabs.. so that might be a problem.
as well as I'll have to make pre-made .reg fixes just incase I'll have to HR.
as for WM5, if I install it, won't I have less free space then ?

You can extract the cabs in various ways. Some exe's can even be opened in winrar.

You can reformat the storage area to 60 meg before the upgrade. Only before though. You don't get a memory slider like in WM2003.
Still, I'm not so sure on WM5 being the best for you. You'd want to have reliable BT and I'm not sure it is on WM5.
So I guess I'll stick with WM2003 for the time being.
I'm ordering an SD slot for the dashboard, as well as a USB connector.
Another Idea I've had is the need for the hardreset as well as reset button.
to which version should I upgrade my rom then ?

sorry to butt-in but, someone had done that before: SD-WiFi & SD Mem Card in parallel on the same 9 pin source: pda sd expansion.
a switch might be of help if you don't want to use the two slots simultaneously.
Yes I've seen that. Its a pretty lame hack if you read it to the end.
there's a better link with larger photo's for anyone interested:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/david.hutchinson27/pockpc/
also, his project doesnt seem to work at the same time, and I've decided not to go with the switch route.
I'm reading a lot of the SD specs, So there is a very slim possibility I'll be able to get two cards to co-exist (and I would love some proffesional help if any of you guys know more about SD's then I do).
if not, then I'll just make an SD slot on the dashboard..

How to Upgrade the Shift to 100GB

This guide adds to the disassemble guide found in the Shift section. I will show you how to successfully install a 100GB Toshiba hard drive.
1) Follow the disassemble guide until the back cover on the Shift is removed.
2) Carefully pull back the tape found on the ribbon cable connecting to the hard drive.
3) Pull gently the ribbon cable that connects to the hard drive interface. I used pliers with electrical tape around the pinchers to not scuff/scratch the ribbon cable. The hard drive connector is of LIF type (Low Insertion Force) meaning it's on there simply by pressure and not secured by any clips. It should slide out easily.
4) Remove the rubber casing around the hard drive and store somewhere. It can't be used with the 8mm 100GB hard drive due to the depth difference between the two. (trust me... i tried).
5) Using a thin rubber patch (like those for bike tires/air mattresses), place it in the area where the 100GB hard drive will sit, in this way the drive sits on top of the rubber patch.
6) Push the ribbon cable into the LIF connector on the Toshiba 100GB Hard Drive. It should slide in fairly easily. Note: there are no audible clicks, just push it in as far as you can and secure it with the tape the same way the 40GB was.
7) Close the back cover and secure it with the screws. It should close fairly snug in the area where the 100GB is; nonetheless, it should close. If it doesn't, check your drive positioning.
8) Follow the disassemble guide to replace the keyboard (do the reverse).
9) Boot the system and the BIOS will automatically detect the new 100GB drive!
10) Enjoy! (remember, this is just a guide... i am not responsible for damages or warranty void)
Hello,
Thanks for this guide...
This is the very same HDD I installed into my Shift. You wrote :

I had to sort out the Rubber thing too.
But on you picture, the rubber is still in place... So, just to make it crystal-clear to readers: confirming this is the rubber that should be removed (following maestro2mil's advice) or modified...
[adding] Btw, a thread is already live on this topic :

do you need to have copied accross the recovery image onto the 100gb drive (from the existing 40gb one) before you can do this?

No, you can avoid that (as you will need a specific adapter in order to have the 100GB plugged via USB. One time adapter in this case). You should make a HDD image of your 40GB before taking it out the Shift, put it onto a external HDD or a USB dongle, then back to the 100GB once it is installed. Using Acronis or equivalent tool.
If you want to start from scratch, with the recovery partition, then go for search in the forum, there is several ways to do it : copying it while hidden, via Linux tools or have it visible, before using Acronis tool.
[editing] Of course, you may want to have the recovery partition copied to keep the recovery capability on-board. Not really necessary if you keep safe aside a clean image of the former 40GB HDD partition.
Hi Folks
Thanks alot for all this information! I am absolutely keen to do that to, so would you please specify wht drive exactly you've bougth and used and what I may additionally need for the upgrade? I already have an image of the Shift for install via USB ready and waiting ...
Thanks alot!

LIF or ZIF or... ?
Hi ,I am new to this forum , live in germany and sorry for my poor english ( only with dictionary )
Can anyone help, because of my bad english it is hard, to translate all threads and postst.
Here is my question:
I am a bit confused about new HDD for shift.
I read, we need LIF-connector
In an other thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385578 ) they write , we need ZIF-connector.
What is the difference and what is correct?
I am thinking about buying a shift and about a new HDD.
Do I need a " GAH " or a " GAL " ? Or what should I order?
http://www.sdd.toshiba.com/main.aspx...ives/MK8025GAL
Thank You for Your help and sorry for my poor english.
Best regards!
T. Brumm
Hi T
I am expecting delivery this days - since I am German too, I'll report my experiences then, ok?
Lutz
Hello t.brumm,
I'm the one mentionning ZIF... I wonder why!
I added a post in the thread you're mentionning to correct my mistake...
HTC Shift is using a 40GB HDD with LIF connector so the model you plan to buy is quite ok.
"GAH" or "GAL" are not related to connector : HTC Shift is shipping with a MK400GAL and I changed it for a MK1011GAH, osome others for a MK1214GAH, etc...
Definitely, go for the MK8025GAL is it has the suitable heigh (5mm). Much more easy to make it fit into the case than those 8mm models.
Hello Yann,
thank You so much for Your help.
It is really not easy, to read all posts with dictionary. So Your answer becomes special importance for me.
But, The MK8025GAL has here 8mm, not 5mm!? What is correct?
http://www.storage.toshiba.eu/index.php?id=3&pid=229&sid=3
May I ask still an other question?
I have a desktop pc , which has a hidden recovery-partition too.
I did try to visible this partition (like it is written here ) but this does not work. ( maybe, because I have Windows XP and not Vista ? )
Then I used " Powerquest Drive Image 7 ".
This program sees the hidden partition and I can backup this hidden partition to another HDD too!
If I restore it somewhere on my HDD, this partition is not hidden anymore, it is visible and with " Partition Magic 7 " I can not hide this partition.
If I would do this on the shift ( I would like to change the HDD at first step and this procedure would be very easy)
could I than recover the system from the visible partition or should this partition generally invisible?
Thank You and best greetings!
T. Brumm

Strange... I've to admit you pinpointed something: Toshiba is inconsistent here... To be safe, I would bet it's a 8mm. Still feasible, but more tricky.
Don't get me wrong: a 8mm heigh HDD fits but... and I guess you already read my comments on the other threads... the result is not really safe on the mechanical side. Still, with a little extra caution when moving around your Shift, everything is fine.
About Recovery partition, see this thread : Recovery from USB drive
Riki0081 is not hiding the Recovery Partition in order to boot on it from an USB dongle. Using a 4GB USB dongle is a very good solution...
Because as Riki0081 wrote HERE, Recovery boot (Fn+F3) won't work anymore if Recovery partition remains visible on the internal HDD.
By the way, I did it the lazy way: avoiding to deal with the Hidden Partition when possible.
Few weeks before getting the my 100GB HDD on-board, I let the Shift doing a Fresh install of Vista from the Recovery Partition. I rebooted on a CD with the Partition tool (Acronis), to copy the installed Vista onto an USB External HDD. At that time, I killed the Recovery Partition in order to save some space on the 40GB...
When my 100GB HDD arrived, I replaced the 40GB HDD with it, copying the initial Partition image (the "Fresh Vista installation") from the external storage back to the new 100GB HDD. Re-installing/organizing Applications and Data onto 2 "large" Logical partitions...
Hope my bad English is readable enough!
Hello Yann and thank You!
I think, I did understand Your post and I know, what to do!
And Your english is better than mine
Best regards!

SDD or HD
Somebody who did the step to SDD drive already?
Is it wise while the shift bis open to build in a SDD?
If so please share model and connections
Thanks and regards
sorry kinda random information
but having an acer aspire one means i have had to upgrade my **** 8gb ssd to a hdd
and we have a zif connecting ssd
and this question came up many times in the forum
what is the difference between zif and lf
well z is for zero and l is for low
oif is for insertion force
basically toshiba realised it wasnt zero inserton force at all, and their drives are LIF.
hitachi drives are ZIF (as far as I know) yet both require the same amount of force o push the cable in (basically none)
but hitachi drives require a flip cable as their pinouts are reversed or something like that, so for the shift i would guess you can only have toshiba
plus if anyone doesnt want their ld drives, im sure people at www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/index.php would love them for a price, to save getting them of ebay
email me at [email protected] if youre interested

Can't disable fast charge, permanently broken micro-usb port?

I flashed this ROM as per instructions in the thread and after enabling fast charge, my usb port seems broken.
The ROM uses semaphore kernel and I enabled fast charging using semaphore script app. I tried it out and disabled it from the same app. It still shows disabled but neither of my computers will recognize my device (winXP and win7, neither one makes the typical sound when the phone is plugged in).
I have 3 data cables that all work fine on my Gateway tablet (acer iconia clone) on both computers, so I feel very certain that it is the device.
Some things I have tried so far to fix it based on various forum digging;
-enabled and disabled USB debugging mode (apparently usbd has to be on for mass storage mode in ICS)
-wiped NSTools settings with CMW recovery
-tried turning off fast charge with NSTools app ( cannot find it as an option)
-tried some command in Terminal Emulator ( su, then echo 0 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge?blah blah I forget what the exact command lines were but they were not successful)
-restored Nandroid backup of prior cm7 (almost shat as I bootlooped going back again to this ics ROM since I cannot use ODIN to fix it)
Thankfully I am running the ROM I believe I will stay with for awhile, I can access my phone with airdroid and I recall reading about a wifi adb one time but having USB Mass storage again would be a huge plus!
Yes I realize that I was stupid to enable Fast Charge mode that has in capital letters beneath the checkbox-USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!! But if anyone can help me I would be eternally grateful, I will even send you some beer money or donate to the charity of your choice as I am completely stumped by this problem.
Cheers
well FML if it wasn't the data cable. I have multiple LG and Blackberry cables that work with every other device in the household (we have 7 or 8 total devices).
I found my Samsung cable under the couch and gave it a try, and it worked. I must have flashed with ODIN the first time using the samsung cable and didn't take note of which one I used. The only difference between the Samsung cable is that the micro-usb end of it really snaps into place one plugged into an actual Samsung device.
I hope somebody is helped by this in the future. When you think you have tried everything (including turning it off and on again ), try another data cable.

Also having this issue with Semaphore and fast charge. Will try another cable. Dirty flashed AOKP to the stock kernel that has no fast charge option and it still doesn't work. Searching for my samsung cable right now. Sadly this BB microUSB cable was the only one that worked with odin with no issue.
Hi, did you find any solution to this issue? I've been experiencing the same problem on my Nexus 4
Edit: Okay. Just read your post properly to find out that using a different cable solved your problem. But mine just won't work no matter what cable I use

P9 eMMC data recovery?

I am trying to recover files from the built-in (32GB) eMMC of a water damaged Huawai P9 (motherboard is corroded and no longer boots..). I'd like to somehow create a logical dump of the contained file system preferably using the least intusive method suitable for the task.
(unfortunately I am not allowed to link to the photo here.. so you'll have to manually patch the respective URL: www-wothke-ch*p9*motherboard.jpg )
Looking at the schematics ("14. eMMc AND LpDDR3") I see that various eMMC related test points are exposed on the PCB (i.e. DAT0, CLK, VSP1, VSP2, VSP3, VSP4) and I might be able to directly patch into those, to directly connect to some SD adapter (like this one: %&&ç - unfortunately I am not allowed to post the link - but you can google for "dumping-the-emmc-nand-on-the-nintendo-switch").. eventhough those pads are terribly small and I guess I'd still have to find CMD, 1v8 & 3v0 somewhere else on the PCB. however I have no experience if the remaining stuff on the PCB might just interfere too much for a respective patch to actually work.. any thoughts? Would I rather need to desolder the eMMC chip and to directly connect to the SD adapter?
Is Huawai actually using the on-chip (eMMC) controller or are they using some separate controller, so that using the on-chip one would not actually recover the logical image (if the on-chip controller was even functional and not some cheaper defective version that Huawai might be sourcing to save money - like those 1$ eMMC/SD adapters that can be found on aliexpress)?
The phone supposedly was *not* password protected. Does this automatically mean that the data on the eMMC is not encrypted or does Huawai use some kind of additional built-in/proprietary encryption scheme?
I found the JTAG pads on the PCB but if I understand it correctly those would at best allow me to recover a physical dump. So I'd need addtional hardware to even connect to those and then some expensive analyzer software to transfrom the physical dump to the logical image that I actually need... right?
There are also some ISP related test points exposed on the PCB.. but I guess using those (if they even still work on the damaged board )would lead to situation similar to the JTAG one, right?
Anything I have missed? Any recommendations?

Recover photos with broken screen

Hi, I smashed my p20 pro screen and I'm trying to get the pictures out for backing them up in my pc, I can't get the phone in USB debugging or MTP so my pc or HiSuite doesn't recognize the device. Any solutions? I tried 3rd party software and they ask me to put the phone in usb debugging so I can't use them either. Screen and fingerprint sensors are not responsive.
There is no way to retrieve such photos from the internal storage if the recovery software can't access the internal storage.
If your device has an SD card, and such photos are stored there, you may be able to remove the card from your phone and try a computer based recovery program.
The answer above is not helpful at all...
However, all is not lost if you can still see through the cracks and stuff. If the phone works, but you just can't use fingerprint and touch, try using a USB mouse with a USB type C OTG adaptor (those can be cheaply found on amazon or other stores, if you don't already own one).
With the mouse, you can "touch" on your screen, and so upload the pictures, do a backup etc. You can even use a USB hub and connect a USB storage device as well as the mouse and do a complete backup to the storage device.
