copying files to phone while in recovery? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

if i dont have an external sdcard and ive wiped my phone, is there a way for me to connect my phone to the computer to transfer files while im in recovery?

Its possible using adb push to /data/media
Make sure you dismount after copy or recovery wont see the file

Connect your phone to pc/laptop then in recovery select mount usb and then your device wil appear as external drive

Unfortunatly Galaxy S3 cant mount internal storage as usb. It is formatted in ext4. Adb is probably best option

No usb mount option in SGS3..connect adb..type adb push/pull /path of the target /path of destination.
Or if you are good at edify/busybox..create a updater script to flashed via CWM

SD card

Hey guys recently I was on my computer and had my SD card mounted and I pressed unmount to pull it out and all was fine until a message came up saying SD card was damaged. I rebooted the phone and its still saying this. I know I didn't pull it out early. Now its asking to format card to fix it. When I press it nothing happens. I tried connecting it to my computer to format but it can't read the card. Luckily I had an adapter that'd let my card go in seperately from my phone but that wont work either. Please tell me what I can do??

if u able to boot into xrecovery and mount the usb storage, then i think u can accest into the sdcard via pc. then make a full copy to your pc.

Well, I learnt my lesson, always backup everything on a ext sd
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
great that you got it working, i would recommend trying to s-off your phone just because... so flashing rom's and fixing problems if any happens in the future will be easier
yea I know, It looked pretty bleak for a while where i basically couldn't do anything with the phone,
I will look into s-off
fix

Formatted my whole phone accidently, pls help...

Thought I formatted my external SD card only but I accidently formatted the Internal SD card. Im able to boot into recovery only. Can I transfer a ROM to Recovery from my PC or do I have to use Odin again to recover my phone? Thanks...
sounds like you wiped system. there should be an option in recovery to mount your sd card to your pc and xfer a rom over that way to flash. as long as you can boot into recovery, shouldnt have to redo odin.

If you have an LG phone, you need to seek help in the appropriate forum. This forum is for a Samsung phone, and we would not have the knowledge to address your issues.

Wiped Internal No ROM to flash

Ok so i have a htc one with the internal data wiped, so i have no rom to flash. If i buy a micro sd card and copy roms onto it using my other phone, take the sd out and stick it in the htc one, will it recognize the sd card and the files on it? Right now the htc doesnt have any OS installed so im not sure if it will recognize the sd card in recovery mode. The phone is unlocked/rooted with twrp on it.
HTC One doesn't have an SD slot, use TWRP and adb sideload to flash a ROM.
Lol just realized. Only problem when trying to sideload, I can't get my macbook to recognize it when using the cmd ./adb devices

Just an FYI incase someone bumps into this thread looking for help, I could not get sideload to work properly so I just ended up buying a OTG usb cable and it worked like a charm. Just transfered zip files using my other device to the attached usb thumb drive and the htc one read the thumb drive connected to the otg cable perfectly fine in twrp. Just be sure to mount it in twrp. A very cool little tool that i can see myself using for other purposes as well.
