Wow, you know it's bad when everybody is ignoring your question, lol.
But all jokes aside, check out adb for dummies http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010
Possibly go to googles android sdk page and look up adb commands http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html , specifically the pull command.
I hope you had usb debugging checked already, because if you didn't this will not even work. if you are running one of eugenes roms it should be checked by default, unless you turned it off.
You will need the android sdk installed on your computer http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
and the vibrant drivers if you are using windows. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
good luck.
what data do you need to get off?
if its just contacts, gmail etc then its already synced with gmail and no need to worry.
mms and sms could be a bit trickier.
if you want to get your pics and vids of the SD card, you can use adb or install droid explorer. I love droid explorer for get/push files.
if you are worried about apps, I would forget about it and just reinstall them on the new phone.
i got my data off with usb mode by playing guess with the touchscreen.thanks for reply.
I'm having trouble with Notpod (formally iTunes Agent), here's the problem: When I try to select the folder on my Sony to copy to, I cant... it's grayed out. I believe this may be due to needing to change the USB connection mode but I cannot do this on the phone.
I've already seen that my laptop sees my Sony as a mobile device in stead of a removable disk, part of the whole problem I think?
Btw, I noticed that someone already asked the same question, but no one answered it in the end...
Try this maybe it help u

Are you trying to access the internal storage on a mac?
If so, this may help:
Go to youtube then add:

Itunes can't sync with XPS cuz its connected via MTP mode and not MSC. If your phone is unlocked and rooted, what gm007 suggested might help.
Sony Mobile did release a Mac apps for XPS, Sony Bridge for Mac. Although a lot of users are reporting issues of processes hanging endlessly while syncing music and photos. Apparently, they are aware of this issue and are still investigating and gathering more info.
I think DoubleTwist allows you to do this?
Not sure if it works with the SXS though
Thanks for all the advice! Anyone has another suggestion than DoubleTwist?

Google Musi^U shouldn't say that. beets on desktop + copy/paste works fine for me.
What do you mean? I don't get it...
Hi guys,
I'm trying to help my friend recover data from his galaxy S2 with a broken screen. It turns on, receives calls etc but you can't see anything on the screen.
His contacts are not in sync with gmail, is there a way to set this up using a PC and leaving the phone on so that everything will sync?
I think the most important thing is his contacts, maybe some pics and apps if it's possible. thanks!
U could probably use ADB to pull em off i would assume, long as u know where they're stored.
Thanks! Do you have a guide for dummies on using ADB to do just that?
Search is your friend, there are tons of guides on XDA. What ROM is your friend running, do you know? I was thinking that if he's running stock maybe you can use an MHL adapter to hook up the phone to an external display.

thanks guys. he is running stock and it looks like he found alocal screen replacement so he should be ok
I have searched, Googled,etc. and have concluded that there is no easy or consistent way to sync photos, video or music between the HOX+ and Macs running Mountain Lion. If this is wrong I would very much appreciate any info on how one is able to do this.
This is the one thing that keeps me from buying the HOX+ over the Galaxy S3 which has the Kies and Kies Air apps and the Nokia 920 which has the WindowsPhone app. I have tried syncing both the S3 and 920 with my iMac with 10.8.2 and while neither sync is as trouble free as the iPhone5 at least with a little tweaking one can get the job done.
Does HTC really intend to just ignore the Mac base or is this situation just temporary?
Thanks for any help.
They are made to sync with the Google options, not the Apple options. If you want it to sync up right then use Google mail, music, talk, Picasa, G+ and other things. If you expect it to sync with iPhoto and iTunes then you are kidding yourself, I'd NEVER expect good support for those.
I'm a Mac user too, but I live in reality.

It feels like you didn't even read his post... he's not asking for solutions that sync with the native Mac applications, he just wants sync software of some sort that supports the HOX+.
fmcgirt, have you looked at HTC Sync? I've never used it, but it seems to fill the role you are looking for. http://www.htc.com/uk/software/htc-sync-manager/
Thanks for the response but the reality of my situation is that we have family members with iPhones and Android devices which currently all coexist nicely (sync contacts and calendars) on iCloud and music and photos with iTunes and iPhoto. And I don't expect good support but my point was that I haven't found ANY support for the HOX+ - not even that of the Kies variety for the S3. So I guess you are telling me that in order to own the HOX+ I will need to convert everything to Google services which of course can't happen.

When I was searching I think I found that HTC Sync has not been updated to work with Mtn Lion or at least nobody had seemed to get it to work yet. If it would work it would be fine or also Double Twist or something like that but there seems to be some "gotchas" in everything I looked at. Thanks for the suggestion. It was the type of feedback I was hoping for.

That is really good news about the HOX+. I also have gotten it to work using AirSync for the G3 but that is the first I had heard about the HOX+.
And you were using Mountain Lion (10.8) on your Mac?

Have you been able to get it to work over USB? I had it working with airsync when I was at home, but now I am at school and they block network communication within the network and I can't get airsync to work. Any luck with USB?
I downloaded the latest HTC Sync Manager and it works fine on my iMac running 10.8.2 and the HOX+. Had to view the Gallery Camera Shots in the Finder,
move them to the Desktop and then import to iPhoto but otherwise all else seems OK.

Still cannot seem to get it to work. Have the latest versions of everything and my Retina Pro can't seem to connect to my phone via doubletwist on 10.8.2.

I admit the sync stuff can be flaky. What works perfectly fine one time will not connect the next time, etc. What seems to help for me when I can't connect when I know nothing has changed from the last time when it worked is to restart both the Mac and the phone. If that fails then I try uninstalling and reinstalling the Mac apps and usually between these two things I can get the stuff to work but it sure can be a pain.
I would check your USB cable. For the longest time, I could not get things to sync with my Mac until my friend let me borrow his USB cable. Granted I'm running Lion, but I think trying a different USB cable would help. Try a shorter cable.

I think it must be something to do with my phone. I am using the stock cable and never had a huge issue syncing with HTC Sync Manager (crap I know, but on USB it usually seems to work) and then I put Viper XL 1.2 on it and now it cuts out midsync most of the time, sometimes android file transfer works and sometimes not. Just seems hit and miss.

You are not alone, HTC sync manager for OSX is garbage. I can't get mine to sync most of the time. I had to go with doubletwist, which I don't care for, but heck what can you do.
I ended up going with iSyncr. I would agree with what other people say about it being flaky, and with trying a shorter cable.
For file transfer, I've been using the Android File Transfer program from Google (can't find the link right now), and it also works sporadically. The most annoying thing with it, though, is that you need to keep your screen on while transferring files, or else it seems like the Mac thinks the phone is leaving USB Debugging mode.
My wife has a crappy old Dell that I had to break out when I unlocked and rooted with Hasoon's tool. Otherwise you should be able to get by without it.
FWIW, iSyncr did just an okay job with iTunes playlist. I'm thinking of just going with Spotify for all my music since I'm a subscriber anyway.
As for calendar, photos, etc, it would seem that the best bet would be set up your Apple services to sync up with your google account. For example, my wife has an iPhone 4, and I set her whole phone up to sync with gCal, gMail, etc. If she had a Mac I'd probably just set iCal and Address Book to sync with that. As for photos, I think you may be SOL, unless iPhoto has some sort Dropbox sync or other service I'm not aware of.
Hello forum,
I have a samsung at&t galaxy note running blackstar. About 15 days ago the screen shattered and 3 days later one raindrop fell on the screen and ruined it. Right now the phone screen is all black and you couldn't tell if it's on or off by just pressing the power button. I bought another phone and so my question is, how could I transfer my old data from my screwed phone to the other one without having to use the old phone?
I would like to take my texts and some contacts. I downloaded a software called MobileGo for Android, but it requires me to download an app to the phone, which I have to open before the software can start operating. And then again, this is a problem because the screen simply cannot be used.
Thanks,
Michael.
Try samsung Kies. And if contacts were google contacts they would sync back to your new phone by signing into google.

I did, and my contacts synced alright, however there are some texts that I need to recover. I already tried to connect the phone to the computer and copying everything, but the phone isn't being recognized. Is there any way I could copy some of the pictures saved in the phone?
Install the phones divers and the android sdk and use adb to pull everything out
If you had usb debugging enabled on the broken phone that is... otherwise that won't work.
