Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (model: SM-N950F) since may 2018.
The screen failed recently just after updating Bixby. But I don't think it's due to this update.
May be an electrical problem? But before sending back my Note 8 to fix the screen I have to backup my datas.
With an almost all green screen and a password to enter as to unlock the phone, it's quite an impossible mission.
But I just did the job today and succeeded to backup my datas on my pc laptop with the Smart Switch Samsung Software.
I have professional "Samsung Notes" and it's urgent for me to find them back for work.
The problem is how to open the sdoc.snmm file in the directory SAMSUNGNOTE (from the backup stored on my laptop).
I renamed the file as a zip one and opened it with Winzip which can now display 3 files as following:
SDOC.BK, SMARTSWITCHBACKUP.JSON, et SSMDUMMYVALUE.XML.
SDOC.BK is the bigger one. Almost 97% of the total 3 files percentage.
I think it's this file which contains all Samsung Notes I did with my S pen!
But how to manage that file? I red on other forums that we can read the Samsung notes files as PDF files from a Windows PC.
But the files would have to be first exported in PDF format from the Note 8. And as I can not read anything on my screen Note 8,
I can do nothing from the Note 8.
Then, is it possible to open that SDOC.BK with a specific software? Or do I have to change the extension BK into PDF?
If you could help me to find a solution it would be great!
Regards,
Eric (from Paris!)
If you ever figure a way to do this please share.

It's a little late and I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter anymore by now, but I'm pretty sure those are proprietary formats. Renaming them won't make it able to read it. I think the only way is to export them from the Notes app, unfortunately.
Have you tried Samsung Notes app for Windows? Maybe that helps...

Hello
I tried to get the samsung notes application but the download link failed. I chatted with US samsung support. They say that this application is no more available since january 2018 as they have bugs to fix.
8 months later it still being "off"!! It must be very big bugs! If someone succeeded to manage his samsung notes with a Windows 10 PC it would be kind to share a copy of it. Please note that the french samsung support was not aware of this problem as the software download link was "broken". They added this was a Microsoft problem as the samsung note software is distributed by and for Microsoft corporation. By the way, the customer is invited to find a solution with Microsoft not with Samsung! What about the samsung engineers working to fix the soft? I do not understand this way to give... "no solution". It's not serious for a such big Company like Samsung! Thanks for your attention. Regards Eric
I installed Notes for Windows on my new Notebook 9 Pro in April this year. Synchronization ensures I can open and work on the Notes both on the Note 8 and the Notebook 9 Pro....
Could be that there is no windows Notes app for non-samsung or non-pen equipped pcs.
If any of you are still wondering, use this link filext.com/file-extension/SDOC . upload your .sdoc file, from that click the text.dat one at the very end then copy and paste to a word document or something. You will need to edit it but at least you can still keep everything you typed. For pictures it is the one with .JPG . Sometimes the text is saved as JPG, in this case press the one that says .spd which is like another file, then click the very first one (think it ends with .page) then you can copy the text which they will show below. Hope this helps since it helped me recover quite a couple of .sdoc notes.
This link, from my Android phone, works to push the Samsung Notes app to my PC Windows account:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/samsung-notes/9nblggh43vhv
Trying to install the app from the store directly from the non-Samsung PC had failed.
The Samsung Notes Windows 10 app can sync your notes between your phone and your PC.
I hope that helps.

I know it's super late, but I was just having this problem. I found an older version and it is working great so far: https://www.xda-developers.com/get-samsung-notes-windows-10-app/

Sorry if this has already been covered but I didn't get any hits searching for it.
When I used WM5 I could always read and edit NOTES from the PDA on the PC using MS Word, I just double clicked the file and it opened in Word as an INK file, but since upgrading to the Kaiser this is no longer possible with a double click, I now have to open word first then open a .PWI file?
Does anyone else have this problem?
Sorry if this is covered by another thread. My search did not give me those data.

I could never read notes in my PC except by putting them on the main memory and syncing to Outlook.
I discovered I can copy the notes (PWI) to a folder in my old PC (XP) and double-click them to be open in Word, but nothing happens.
On my new PC, (Vista) they are unrecognised, directly, so the type of file is not supported by any app.
But today I could open a TextMaker empty session (I use SoftMaker office for working in my PPC and also have the version for PC) and then I dropped into it one of my notes stored in a folder in my PC. It opened well and I could read it. I think it does not support images, as I had some problems to read/copy/paste info from a blank note which had a small text and a drawing.
If this works, this helps not to synch the notes from a storage card, but for reading them if they're copied to the PC.
You can make ActiveSync automatically convert .pwi files to .txt or .rtf by opening ActiveSync, and selecting Tools > Advanced Tools > Edit File Conversion Settings. In the 'Device to Desktop' tab, select 'InkWriter/Note Taker/Notes Document', click Edit, and change the format to .txt or .rtf.
amikula THANKS to your post I finally solved my problems!! thanks!!!
Could you please tell us aswell how you solved the problem. Thx
just as amikula said!Thanks great solution.Thank you!!!
Hey all. I have changed to a HTC phone that doesn't have .pwi files. I still need to read/convert my HTC HD .pwi files. I am on Windows 7. Anyone?
I've been tearing my hair out wondering how the heck am i gonna do this. Syncing via bluetooth through my laptop doesn't work (says hd7 wont accept file transfers) I tried uploading to gigasize.com, no luck, and I've tried emailing, but there's n email system big enough.
Anyone have ANY idea how i can transfer random files over for the HTC HD7?
SkyDrive is an option. Cloud-based storage free with your Live account (hotmail, msn, live)
This link will help with that.

didn't end up working, the file i have is 100MB, the limited space on skydrive is 50MB =[ close but no dice, are there any other altenatives? can i bluetooth from one phone to the other?
My SkyDrive Account has 25 gigs?

Hi!
Try to set you screen lock to never:
Settings -> lock & wallpaper -> Screen time-out: never
Than try again the steps described in post #9.
After finished set back screen lock time-out to original value to preserve battery power.
Regards,
Cina.
Doesn't seem to work, but thank you for the insight =] I really appreciate everyone's help but i think i've come to terms with just simply giving up.... I'm reinstalling windows 7 and XP so i might jump back up and try it once more
You can try to e-mail the files to yourself or you can try other online storage services
Although the methods previously suggested might work, and they do with several limitations, I wouldn't advise them as they will either leave your files lost in the middle of hundreds of e-mails or pile your office hub in a completely unorganized fashion.
My solution is much better; simply create OneNote notebooks, organized anyway you see fit, insert your files and sync them to SkyDrive.
When you sync them with your WP phone you will have your pdf files organized and always available.
Never tried this method with any file larger than 50Mb but with smaller ones works like a charm
Cheers

I have an HD7 that is Chevron unlocked and this does not work for me at all. I cant even enable mass storage. Can someone help me with that?
Two questions for the Galaxy Note experts:
1.) Where are the S Note & S Memo templates stored?
2.) Is it possible to create own S Memo and S Note templates?
I've looked and there doesn't seem to be any obvious (and easy) way of adding new templates - which seems a really strange oversight by Samsung.
Hopefully someone will be able to say how it can be done simply and I'm a pillock!
it looks like...

Creating a S-Note template form a PDF file
When I imported pdf files, I just started Snotes, the app, not a new note, and under the menu picked import. Choose the pdf file but if you get the box that asks what to use to open it, ignore it, click on the screen with your pdf, make sure the file is selected and choose done up at the top. you'll magically go back to the snote screen with your pdf document showing. In order to save it, you'll have to at least make a mark and then can erase it so the save option will be available. When it's the blank you'd like to save to use each time, you can name it and save it as it is. Just be careful that whenever you open it to start a new blank, you need to rename the changed document so it doesn't overwrite your blank form. If it's helpful, when you're ready to save the 'template' open the menu and choose set as shortcut. That will give you the fresh template on your home screen. I put several running notes on my home screen that way and a blank 'template' - an Snote the way I like it set up. Just be careful not to overwrite it as I've accidently done a few times. Now I have extra blank copies.
On the Note 10.1 Samsung added the "import-template-function" with the firmware-update 4.1.1
Maybe they'll update the N7000 too.
I was wondering if anyone can tell me of a good software of program that can open any file. Text massages recovery, open text message in pdf format from SIM CARD. Voice record files, video files, file error recovery,
I have an IMac as a computer and also a IPad Pro my phone is a Samsung NOTE 8. Does ROOTING my Phone have any good advantages to it. I would like some way to read/recover all my old SIM cards i have is there a way to do it if i have to use a computer is it Apple Compatible? Well thanks for any help I may get and sorry if this is confusing. But if you can get me any insight on any of this it’d be appreciated Thanks.
Hi All, I know this is a big ask, but is there anyone out there who could help me please to extract/export/whatever all of the SMSs and MMSs from my now quite old stock standard HTC HD7 phone that has Windows Phone 7.8 running on it? The about screen says it is/has:
Model: HTC HD7 T9292
OS version: 7.10.8862.144
Firmware revision number: 2250.21.51201.728
Hardware revision number: 0002
… (details of radio, not included)
Bootloader version: 5.12.2250.0(135240)
Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0
I've only in the past week (finally) converted from a Windows Phone (Lumia 950) to a Galaxy Note 9, and was able to transfer all of the SMS/MMS from it, which I've been able to keep since moving to WP8. These are all the messages since I had to move from the HD7, i.e. the HD7 has all previous SMS/MMS messages. I'd really like these migrated too as there are many messages in there that have significant sentimental value to me.
If it will help, I'm prepared to pay for this assistance.
The app I used to transfer the messages from the Lumia 950 to the Note 9 is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smsbackup.leonardocezary.smsimporter.pro,. which did a fantastic job.
For my desktop PC, I have a HP WS that is running the latest version of Windows 10 Pro. From research done so far, I've managed to install Zune and the HD7 connects ok with it.
But after that it gets a bit too complicated for me to do on my own. I tried installing the Windows Phone 7 SDK, but it complained that some .NET 4 components were incompatible and asked me to uninstall them, which I didn't want to do in case that stuffed up other things I'm running on the PC.
If anyone is willing to take this on as a project, I'd be very appreciative.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
wow, it was all a long time ago (6+ years) and the brain cells are not what they used to be
I cant seem find the thread where I mentioned that I did this yet (the xda user history doesnt go back that far)
I have some old files but also trying to remember what I did lol.
Basically, I had an sms backup program that would output to a formatted file which I manipulated using UltraEdit until it was the same format as the "sms backup & restore" (on the playstore) program I use on Android.
I had some plans to automate it but gave up on windows 7 and it just became a novelty to dual boot it on my old HD2.
Do you have an app that can backup your sms's to some kind of formatted file?
EDIT: how about this? https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346276
more likely this? https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448197
haha, just found it
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26338246&postcount=85
and the next few posts.
As long as you can get some formatted text version of your messages fomr WP7, you will be able to re-format it to suit backup and restore (eventually )
I think there was also some problem in the way time was recorded and had to convert from unix epoch time (just to make it more interesting)
Try to check that the contact names are in the file otherwise you will have to a search/replace of the phone numbers.
I would offer to have a go with your file but I understand that there may be a lot of personal data that you really dont want to be sending out.
good luck
Hi!
I home you don't actually hope I remember something!!
well, actually...
Digging in my old files, I found a bunch of xml with all SMSs.
Looking for the xml name on google, I remebered!
https://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-backup-restore-wp7-sms-export-to-pc-smsbackup-homebrew/
this application was the one I used to export it from the phone, then I created a small app to convert it in some db format.
