i actually tried the 6 clicks power 2 clicks power and nothing happened. going to try droid explorer tho im pretty sure debugging was on
ive tried droid explorer too and my device wont show. man idk this sucks
Have you tried using kies? Did you ever have adb running prior? What happens when you type adb remount?
Install adb drivers again and then download the android sdk.
Start run
Cmd
Mkdir c:\sdcard
Cd C:\androidsdk\tools
Adb pull /sdcard c:\sdcard

Have you tried screencast? It was very helpful seeingthe recovery behind the rainbows. Runs on your pc shows the android screen on it
Beware of angry gingerbread man
im gonna try all these new suggestions and tell u if they work
well i never really used adb before this. but when i type remount it says operation failed: operation not permitted
and for screencast where would i download that
not exactly sure why but now when i try droid explorer it will connect. thanks for the help guys . getting my pics and videos as we speak. now just gotta wait for the gay insurance haha

Hello,
I just got my first Android phone, the Atrix 4g. So I'm relatively new to Rooting although I have jailbroken my iPod and my iPhone but I know jailbreaking is much easier and simple. My problem is that when I try to start GingerBreak.exe, nothing happens. I've installed all the drivers, set the USB Connection to "None", and turned on Debugging. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but when I start GingerBreak.exe, I suppose it appears on your phone but nothing appears or opens on my phone nor computer.
Can anyone help me? Anything is appreciated!
Thanks!
Edit: BTW, I have an external MicroSD card mounted as well.
Get adb and type adb devices in command prompt

Blehh, as I've said, I'm new so can you please tell me what adb is and where to get it?
And how would I use it?
Download adb from superoneclick. Using command prompt navigate to the directory. Then type adb devices.

You did check your app drawer right? Gingdrbreak APP should be installed.

Fixed guys.
It couldn't detect the phone because I needed to download the MotoHelper drivers from the Motorola websites, the x64 drivers downloaded from the guide didn't contain the Motorola ADB Interface driver.

Hello, I recently dropped my vibrant. I am trying to pull my media from my internal sd, but cannot. There is no way to mount the sd's without having a functional screen. I am wondering, is it possible to pull files from the internal sd while in download mode via some type of adb like cmd for example? I have already tried booting to recovery and counting clicks manually with the volume rockers to enable "mount usb" from recovery with no luck. I am hoping to just use my "jig" to get into download mode and type some kind of command into cmd to copy my priceless media to my pc hard drive. Unfortunately I am no dev or programmer and have no idea what commands those would be or if this is even possible. I do know there have been allot of threads started in these and other forums with allot of people responding who are in the same predicament. Any help would be more than appreciated. Thanks in advance. Im sorry for the super long post.
Here is my suggestion and i'm sure someone will have a better one. If you have adb installed, you can use a program called android commander to pull things off sd card while in recovery mode. Also you can screencast to see the recovery on your pc.
Thanks for your response. That's a great idea. I'll try that and report back. Fingers crossed

Thanks Alex, you saved the day! Android commander worked like a champ.

Ok so i play lacrosse and left my phone in my pocket and being a goalie the ball was shot and hit my phone breaking the screen. Everything works Touch wise and iv used screen cast to see the phone, the only problem is where i start to enter my pattern is the side that looks to have taken the worst impact. Now my question is i really need to get to the internal memory is there anyway to do so.
hey,
so if you know the files you want to acces while your phone is running you could use adb to acces these files with pc.
requirements:
- usb connected phone
- android sdk installed on pc
- running phone (don't know if only booted or still available in fastboot mode)
- maybe rooted phone (don't know exactly, my razr is rooted with zergrush v2)
PS: with the adb pull command you can pull .apk and other files from your phone.
PPS: can be possible you have to change permissions
Or (and this is an expensive "or") you could use a webtop dock.

Yeah, if you use adb to pull them, it should work fine, and I don't think you even need to root

could someone at geek squad pull these files could verizon? and is there a way to switch from pc mode to usb mass storage via ADB
im trying to do it this way http://matthewhollander.com/locked-out-of-your-android-phone/ but when i enter adb -d shell i get [email protected]_spyder:/$ instead of his out put any thought ?
I need help, either im missing something or none of the bricked threads had the same issue as me. I was trying to flash a different rom onto my phone with TWRP and wiped EVERYTHING, OS and all, and now i cant get android file transfer on my mac to recognize it so i cant put the rom on the phone to flash, and my PC wont recognize its attached.
Anyone know what to do? apparently im a complete moron when it comes to phones lol
thanks in advance
EDIT** i found something about adb sideload but it keeps saying "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command" in command prompt even tho i installed the android SDK. i feel like im missing something

a sorry didnt see that you are using mac... well then you need to add your adb command to your path variable so bash can find it... should be the same principle on mac as for other operating systems. just google that or execute the command directly from within it's directory so bash can find it.
edit: ah ok then good that it's fixed
