I want to root my Streak. In order to do that I need USB sync. I installed the Dell Nero "Mobile Sync" which is a terrible, bloated thing and more over wouldn't work, couldn't see my device. I spent a frustrating few hours trying to find an alternative software. I don't want or need to sync in the future, I just have to find a way of doing so once in order to run SuperOneClick.
Can anyone help me with a sync program that will allow me to sync and root, or alternatively is there any way of running SuperOneClick manually, without having to sync up first?
Many thanks.
Hi,
When I configure active sync account on my phone, the active sync requests to be (one of) the device administrator(s), I understand this and it happens in all the phones I had, but with SGSIII it asks permission for much more things, the one that I don't like as its not practical is that the phone (both internal memory and external) will not be seen by the PC when connected. Is there a modified Email.apk with these security settings removed? I searched the forum and didn't find anything useful, I'm running (odexed) stock ROM 4.1.2 rooted.
any advice is welcome
Hello
I have a rooted Samsung S2 (i9100). I recently purchased an LG G2 phone, and there are a number of apps I want to transfer - including their data - from the Samsung to the LG. However, the latter is not rooted (and I can't root it, because of workplace restrictions), which precludes using Titanium Backup or such. The Samsung is using Android 4.1.2 with a custom ROM and the LG is running Android 4.4.2 with the stock ROM.
I tried using Helium, but it doesn't work on the Samsung for some reason, when I connect my PC to the Helium server running on the Samsung and try to backup apps, I get a virtually empty ZIP file. Complicating the issue, I can't connect the Samsung to the PC using the USB port, as its USB port is malfunctioning (I can charge using it, but the PC doesn't recognize the phone), leaving WiFi as the only option for connection.
So to summarize, I need an app which does the following:
1) Backs up applications including data on a rooted phone.
2) Does not require a USB connection between the source phone and a PC.
3) Allows installation of the app, including data, on a different unrooted phone.
Does anyone know of an app which can do this?
Thanks
I'm on the 5/27 nightly build of CM12.1 and phone isn't recognized when plugged into my PC (Win 8.1). I have the newest LG drivers, and when I boot into recovery (TWRP) I can access the internal and external SD fine, it is only when I am in CM that it won't connect to the computer. The only thing that happens is the phone recognizes that it is being charged.
I've tried multiple cables, but no luck there. Settings > Storage -> menu -> USB Computer Connection just results in a message saying "USB is now disconnected". I had the same results on the 5/26 nightly. I've disabled ADB debugging and even disabled developer's options and nothing.
EDIT: Something is borked with the CM install, did a factory reset and a fresh install of 5/27 nightly and it works as expected. Restored to nandroid backup of the same build and its broken.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, this is driving me nuts!
The only thing I can think is to make sure USB debugging is turned on in the developers options.

The option doesn't even appear in developer settings anymore.
Well you can root your phone and put on USB debugging but it would void your warranty what are the options under PC connection what i have heard for lg phones you have to have software for you PC is there an option to install pc drivers on the PC connection option in the settings menu

I have the same problem here. My lg not connect into usb....Nothing happens.How can I fix this?
This started happening to me recently. The only way I could get it to work is booting into recovery (TWRP).

i have the same problem too..seems that there is no solid fix for this...we have to reflash the rom..
download "usb mass storage enabler" form google play
Instead of flashing the rom you can use twrp recovery to mount the sd card to your pc while data cable is connected, then you will be able to transfer files between your phone and pc, if you wanna use usb debugging you can go for adb sideload or terminal in twrp recovery itself, remember its just a temporary solution for solid solution reflash the rom. Have a nice day..
problem solved

Hello everyone.
Please, I would need your help to the following issue I have.
I have a pretty old cell phone: Samsung Galaxy GT-S7580. And I want to backup sms messages, but only locally on PC.
Samsung's smart switch does not support this model.
Samsung's Kies does support it. I installed Kies on PC, and I have indeed backuped up on PC: contacts (SIM+device), S-Planner and calling log. The only one that it's missing is sms messages backup.
Although Kies util does have this option of sms backup, when I tap on it, it does not make the backup. I do not know why there is this option there.
Cell's phone Android version is 4.2.2, which cannot be updated (max that can be done).
I have tried also Coolmuster Android Assistant program, but, unfortunately, it does not support specific model.
Can you please help me backup up the sms messages locally?
Thank you for your time!

Thank you for your answer. The problem is that the program cannot find the device (cell phone). When trying connect, cannot detect it.
It's very strange, because Kies from Samsung does detect it, and also, Windows explorer displays it as device, and with double clicking, I can see phone's contents/data.
You need to install MyPhoneExplorer Client on your phone, which communicates with MyPhoneExplorer on windows.

Hi!
I think that it's possible that your phone may not be compatible with MyPhoneExplorer. In this case, you could try a different backup app that supports your device.
Thanks again for quick answer. The problem is that phone is completely full and out of space. I cannot install application (lient).
Even if I try to uninstall a util/program from phone, what I have understood and come in inclusion all these years is that when from cell phones (as far as it concerns Play Store and Android), so, when uninstalling, in truth nothing happens. Nothing I mean no truly files of "uninstalling" application is removed. All application files stay on phone, and in truth, the only thing that is being removed is application icon. No space is being gaind with "uninstall".
See if you can do sms backup through google service.
https://guidebooks.google.com/android/getstarted/backupyourmessages
I do not want to use Google or any other cloud backup provider. I want to use hard drive locally PC backup and restore.
I agree that MyPhoneExplorer is not compatible with my phone. Would you have any other application that would help for locally backup/restore?
I checked in a device with android 4.1.2 and everything works fine.
- check what applications you have installed
adb shell pm list packages
- identify them and determine the unnecessary ones
- uninstall, for example:
adb shell pm uninstall com.ivona.tts.voicebeta.fra.fra.celine
Once you free up space, install the old version of the client, start MyPhoneExplorer on your PC, connect via USB to your phone and let MyPhoneExplorer update the client version on your phone to the version appropriate for your phone.
These commands: where should I execute them? On a Linux PC? And when:
a. First have connected PC and phone with USB cable and
b. Then on PC (if Linux) I execute them?
Or somewhere else? Please, if you don't mind, a little more help would appreciate.
On your phone, activate USB debugging.
Download SDK Platform-Tools for your OS
Connect the phone to your PC with a USB cable
Confirm access on the phone
Check in the terminal on the PC the visibility of the phone by adb devices
Execute the remaining commands.
I have found the way to execute adb commands.
Now, there is other problem. Insufficient space for application.
I try apps to uninstall, but no result. 1-1 and try to install, with no result. The 3-rd party apps I have installed are with small size. So, 1 by 1 uninstalling has no result, and I lose time.
2 applications with big size that maybe would be the solution to uninstall, unfortunately are not third party. They are system. These 2 are:
Galaxy Apps
YouTube
If I uninstall them (I have no problem unistalling, I do not use them on old Galaxy), so, if I uninstall them, would it make any s/w damage to phone (maybe no startup later)?
I know that I will use Motorola new phone now, but just in case I need something in old phone some day. So, with these two uninstall, I would be ok or not?
If the system allows you to uninstall system applications, it actually enables you to return to the initial version.
This is also a benefit, because there will be smaller versions.
By far, thing are better.
I made space on Samsung. I installed MyPhoneExplorer on Samsung, Motorola and Windows.
First, I backed up from Samsung contacts + SMS on two files respectively. Then, I run MyPhoneExplorer on Motorola.
I restored contacts on Motorola. It worked fine.
The only problem I have is that SMS cannot be sent to Motorola. When I try to send them (try to restore) on Motorola, on internal storage or in e.g. sent folder for a sent SMS, I get error message: "Messages could not be sent".
Seems like something on Motorola is locked, and stops SMS restore/transferring. Or maybe a setting on Motorola settings or on the application is the solution.
Or maybe I make something wrong to the SMS restore procedure.
Ok. Everything worked perfect.
With SDK platform tools, and "MyPhoneExplorer" and "SMS Backup & Restore" apps, I backed up and restored everything to new Motorola Moto G32.
Your advice was extremely helpful!! Thank you so much!!
In order not open another post, I think that my last problem/question fits to this one.
It's about last backup and restore I want to make from old Samsung to new Motorola. It has to do with Samsung's calendar which is S Planner.
problem is :
a. I want to make the backup not via Google. As above-mentioned for other backups (sms, contact, call log). With a 3rd party app. And not via Kies. Kies will make the backup from Samsung, but it can't be used on Motorola. Have already tried use on Motorola, but Kies is working just on Samsung. So, have you any app to suggest for S Planner backup on old Samsung Android 4.2.2, and, at the same time, be used as a restore app for Motorola?
b. If a. is solved, difficult b. now is that S Planner calendar, as an app, is only for Samsung phones. So, I am trying to find a calendar app alternative to S Planner, to install on Motorola, in order to restore there the calendar backup I will have got from my old Samsung.
Would REALLY appreciate your help!
