Help!
Ive got a samsung galaxy s2 - originally it was on the UK Orange network, but since then I have flashed it with a different European firmware (unsure which one).
The screen has cracked therefore I can not use the touch screen at all.
I can not see anything on the screen except the battery level.
I need to take the data off it (pictures, vdeos etc.) which are stored on the phones internal memory.
When I connect it to my windows xp PC, it comes up in My Computer but when I try opening it it shows nothing.
I think this is because I need to unlock the screen (4 digit pin).
When I connect it to Kies, it says I need to enter the screen unlock code - But I can not due to the screen being cracked.
Only the hardware buttons work.
Is there a way I can connect the phone to my PC and get the data off?
I need somesort of app that will allow me to mimic/display the phone screen on my PC so that I can enter this screen unlock code to get into the phone.
Or can I do a refresh (restore factory setting/clear operating system) at boot up so that when it does eventually boot up into the welcome/set up screens, I can connect it to my PC to transfer the data off?
Can someone please help?
maybe you could connect mass storage in CWM ? assuming that you have CWM.

please mention as to wat rom are u on
and also if u r rooted nd stuff
If your rooted boot into recovery..
Usually press power and volume down button
Select recovery from menu, Goto mounts n storage and toggle USB connection.. (use volume keys to navigate and power button to select)
Make sure sdcard setting is set to mounted.. I think sdcard is actually set for the internal storage on these phones.. and the actual SD card is set as external storage..

ADB is the only way
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
you can send me to a private message, I can show you how to install a vnc server, perhaps from the pc side, assume you have debug enabled your phone. Then you should be able to view and control your phone.

I've just bought a user Archos 70 IT with a 1Tb disk upgrade. It's started refusing to complete the boot sequence. It flashes up the "Entertainment your way" screen, then goes black a couple of times, then gets stuck on that screen.
I've tried:
- Holding the power button down for 20 seconds to reset it
- Rebooting to recovery mode and selecting the "repair system" option (disk check)
- Rebooting to recovery mode and re-installing the firmware using the gen8 AOS file downloaded from the Archos site - this failed.
Before it died I managed to transfer about 50,000 music tracks to it, but did have the odd problem with USB along the way:
- the unit would only recognise the connection of the USB cable if it was connected before powering it up. If I inserted the USB cable at any time when the tablet was running nothing happened (although sometimes I got an audible tone from the PC, indicating that some sort of connectivity had been made)
- applications (e.g. camera, music) were unable to access the storage device, and suggested that it may be because USB was connected (even though the USB cable was disconnected)
Now I'm stuck unable to reboot it. Can anyone suggest anything?
Well all I can imagine is using the reformat option... but u will loose all data.
Did u have SDE installed before?
If - u also could try installing UD.
So you bought a unit that was opened by some guy, that then installed a 1TB harddrive?
The connection cable is very fragile and if he wasn't 110% accurate this might have come loose or broke.
So check with that guy, open the case again and check the cables.

I managed to find an option on the Repair menu (in recovery mode) which re-initialised storage without wiping the HDD. Thankfully this left my music intact and revived the system. Phew....
Thanks for the feedback
Hi,
yesterday I forgot my unlock pattern and now after too many attempts to unlock, I am getting google sign in option but when tablet was lock my tablet wifi was off so my google id is not letting me sign in,
So can anyone tell me can I start the wifi of my table in locked mode so i can login with my google account?( I tried the keypad wifi hot key buts is not working) or can I factory reset my tablet (my USB Debugging option is also off )
please help if anyone has any other idea to unlock the table.
Thanks
Guys plz help
If you don't mind factory ressetting try this (BEFORE DOING THAT CHECK IF YOU CAN COPY YOUR DATA FROM INTERNAL STORAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER USING THE USB CABLE WITH THE SCREEN LOCKED, AND DO IT. WHEN YOU WIPE PROM SETTINGS IT SAYS THAT IT ERASES PHOTOS (SO I THINK IT ERASES INTERNAL MEMORY)):
Turn off the tablet, I think you can do it from the lockscreen, if it doesn't work press the power button for a long time.
Turn on the tablet holding volume down and power until some text appears in the bootloader screen.
Then wait for the tablet to ask you to confirm what you want to do before 10 seconds (boot android or wipe data).
I don't remember if it was volumen down or volume up, anyway don't worry it appears on the screen. One of these buttons will allow you to choose what you want to do. The other will confirm what you've chosen. Remember to do this last thing in less than 10 seconds or the tablet will boot android normally.
I hope you can wipe this way without having to enter the pattern.
I have Samsung Galaxy Ace (GTS-5830i). Last week, while checking my emails, it got hanged. I tried a lot but no button was working (responding). So, I restarted it by removing-fix again the battery. But when I restarted it, it gave multiple error windows regarding all the backend processes being interrupted unexpectedly. I took it to Samsung Service Center, but technician there denied doing anything, since the phone was brought from abroad and it was Made in Vietnam piece. He told me to send the phone to the country from where it was bought. I took it to one friend technician, but even he told me the same.
Then I thought of format the phone myself with idea that it might make things like before, but even that option was not working. So I tried it to format by pressing Volume Up/Down+Power+Home Buttons together. The phone started with a window just like DOS Prompt in computers. It had 4 options:
Reboot system now
Apply update from sd card
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
I selected 3rd one i.e. wipe data/factory reset.
It took me to another window saying, “Confirm wipe of all user data? This can’t be undone. I selected:
Yes –delete all user data
Then I rebooted it.
Now it is just starting again and again with the phone name and model number (as it comes when we start a phone). It is switching on-off by itself and it is going on.
I tried to connect the phone to laptop through Kies, but was able to connect only once after numerous attempts, and that showed that there is no firmware in the phone!
I googled the problem and got a probable solution by putting back the firmware using Odin software and the firmware file. I downloaded these from net. But the instructions to use Odin software are:
Open phone Settings>Applications> Development and enable USB Debugging.
Installing Stock Gingerbread Firmware Turn off you phone and boot it into Download mode: hold down the Volume Down + Volume Up buttons, then long press the Power key till the your phone’s screen turns up and you see the Download mode screen.
Since, I can’t even switch on phone and access anything on it; I can’t follow these instructions and use this software because it is switching on-off again and again by itself.
Please help.

Hi Everyone,
I am using dual sim Sony Aqua M4 E2353. All of the sudden, the screen go black. Now I can not see anything and I want to backup phone's data.
Vol up + Power key gives single vibration and then three consecutive vibration and then phone is switched off.
I can easily switch on the phone as get vibration on clicking power key.
As the screen is black, I can not unlock it with my pattern lock. I connected the phone to my computer and it was connected; however, as the screen lock is enabled, it did not allow me to go inside the drive and to get the data back.
I used third party software but it says that USB debugging should be on to recover data using their software.
I want to know the following and need help to recover the data:
1. Is there anyway I can disable lock pattern without looking at screen?
2. Can I use ADB to make USB debugging on or can use ADB to unlock the phone?
I am on stock ROM with unlocked bootloader. I want to recover and get back the data only. Please help me as any help for this would be highly appreciated. Please provide steps how can i get my data back from the phone as screen is all black.
I have a water damaged samsung galaxy a21s that i have to recover data from, but the screen is black and unresposive. After connecting it to pc, it shows up but empty. USB debbuging is disabled and i have no way of enabling it. I tried rebooting it to recovery mode but the power button doesnt work when connected to PC, but when disconnected it works, but once.
