Samsung Galaxy S II died! - How to recover Internal Data? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
my Samsung Galaxy S 2 died below my bike. Sadly I have important data on my internal storage. I can switch it on and on my console looking for

Do you have any advices how I could get to my data - because I can't see anything on the display anymore.
When switching on it makes a strange sound "Drrrammmm" or so...
Any hint appreciated...

Data Recovery on Galaxy s 2
OK, I got to the Device via adb / QtADB - but only in recovery mode I can connect.
Now I cant find the data on the phone...
any idea where the fotos are stored when I take pictures to the internal storage?
Regards - Gosh

Photos: are under DCIM\Camera, not sure what the root file structure is exactly, I think it goes /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Camera

Seems i got a similar problem here: I just see the file structure but most folders (especially sd / emmc / etc.) seem to be empty. => There is no DCIM folder in any of the given folders.
Does anyone know, what should be seen, if there was usb-debugging allowed or not? And I assume usb-debugging is not allowed on my phone. So is there any opportunity to get to the storage data?

The reason why you could not copy anything was because you need to manually mount your /emmc under mounts and storage in recovery. you cannot do this since your screen is not readable.
There are two ways to copy out your files:
A. Boot your phone normally, then follow these steps:
1. Connect your device to your pc
2. Open command prompt from Adb folder. (hold shift key, then right click on a blank space, select open command window here)
3. #check if your device is connected via adb by typing in the command window: adb devices
4. #copy all the content of your sdcard by typing in the command window:
adb pull /sdcard \mysdcard
wait for the process to finish
Check you C: drive for a folder named "mysdcard". all the files and folders in your internal storage will be there.
B. Boot to recovery, then follow these steps:
1. Connect your device to your pc
2. Open command prompt from Adb folder. (hold shift key, then right click on a blank space, select open command window here)
3. #check if your device is connected via adb by typing in the command window:
adb devices
4. adb shell
5. mount sdcard
6. ## check the directories of the sdcard just to be sure by typing:
ls /sdcard
7. exit
8. adb pull /sdcard \mysdcard
wait for the process to finish
Check you C: drive for a folder named "mysdcard". all the files and folders in your internal storage will be there.
If you face any errors, let me know
Good luck

Mounting 2 storage usb devices

I have 2 questions. I did a search and found that usb devices should work with the gtab, so I'm trying to mount it.
Any idea how I can mount the devices?
I'm trying to mount
1. 500 GB drive
2. Canon Camera with 32 GB SD card
Second question: Can I mount them both at the same time? It looks like the gtab has 2 USB ports, 1 regular, 1 mini
I'm trying to offload the video clips so I can record some more.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Mini is for Slave
Normal is for Host
I think someone found a way to make the Mini a Host, not to sure.
Does this mean I can only use the regular port to connect to a storage device?
I have no need to swap them....just a need to use both to connect to external hard drives:-D
Can I use a usb hub to connect 2 USB devices? (camera and 500 GB drive)
Well, I can tell you this much as least:
If one wanted to connect 2 USB mass storage devices to their g Tab and were hard pressed to find an alternative, the docking station that fits the proprietary plug has an additional USB port as well as an HDMI port and an ethernet port.
Unfortunately I can't tell you anything else with certainty.

I guess I should still get a netbook for this purpose then.
By the way, for the host port (regular USB port). It seems to connect (I have power on the usb device), but the files are not showing up in the file manager (ES file manager) or ifilemanager. Is there anything else I have to do for it to recognize the drive?

We'll have to take things step by step.
First, is the SD card on the camera a removable microSDHC card? If it is, you could just remove it and insert it into the gTablet's microSDHC slot instead of connecting the camera to a USB hub.
Second, have the 2 devices been detected correctly by the kernel? Both individually and then together on a USB-hub?
For example, if I connect my 1TB Maxtor USB HDD to the gTablet, the status bar message informs me that "SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem". This means that the drive was detected, but the NTFS filesystem on it was not recognized, and therefore the drive was not mounted (the vold program which does the mounting only likes ext4 or VFAT filesystems for automounting). I'm assuming that since you have a 500GB drive, it is formatted as NTFS?
If Android does not detect a drive insertion, check the kernel messages. In a Terminal, after I insert a USB drive, I do:
Code:
$ [B]dmesg | tail -n 20[/B]

to check if the drive was detected. I can see by the messages that the Maxtor drive was detected by the kernel and that I can mount it manually by using the /dev/block/sda1 device. If you don't see similar messages, you're out of luck. If the camera is also detected, it may show up as /dev/block/sdbn.
If everything is detected properly, but, just not mounted, you can mount things manually.
For this, you have to know which kernel you're running. There are 2 kernels that are commonly used on the gTablet: clemsyn's and pershoot's. I use pershoot's kernel so my instructions will be for that. The pershoot kernel supports NTFS filesystems, but, this support is not built into the kernel. Support is instead provided using kernel modules which you'll have to download first from the author's website and then load manually.
Download the correct kernel modules file for the running kernel. Find the kernel version first:
Code:
$ [B]uname -a[/B]
Linux localhost 2.6.32.40-cyanogenmod #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri May 13 17:37:53 EDT 2011 armv7l GNU/Linux
The kernel version is 2.6.32.40. I go to http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/ and download the kernel modules file for that kernel version which would be this file for Gingerbased ROMs: lib-2632.40_gb.tar.gz, or, this file for Froyo based ROMS: lib-2632.40.tar.gz. Note the "_gb" suffix. Extract the file on your PC and then transfer these 2 file onto the gTablet: nls_utf8.ko and ntfs.ko. You should, ideally, put them in /system/lib/modules, but, it you can just leave it on the gTablet's SD card.
Load the kernel modules (I'm assuming now that they're on /mnt/sdcard), then mount the HDD:
Code:
$ [B]su[/B]
# [B]insmod /mnt/sdcard/nls_utf8.ko[/B]
# [B]insmod /mnt/sdcard/ntfs.ko[/B]
# [B]mount -t ntfs -o nls=utf8 /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/usbdisk[/B]
The HDD's contents will now be present in /mnt/usbdisk which is a directory that already exists for mounting USB devices. The /dev/block/sda1 device name we determined using the kernel messages. If you have partitions on the HDD, you can mount them individually using their device names which look like /dev/block/sdan, where n is a number. Look in /dev/block/ to see what partitions can be mounted.
To mount the camera, create a new directory somewhere else, let's say /mnt/sdcard/tmp, and then mount it in that directory. I'm assuming here that the camera's SD card was detected as /dev/block/sdb1 and that it has a VFAT (aka FAT32) filesystem on it.
Code:
$ [B]su[/B]
# [B]mount -t vfat /dev/block/sdb1 /mnt/sdcard/tmp[/B]
After you've finished, unmount both devices before you unplug:
Code:
$ [B]su[/B]
# [B]umount /mnt/usbdisk[/B]
# [B]umount /mnt/sdcard/tmp[/B]

The files are in a folder called USBDISK - hunt around, you will find it.

[Q] Accessing both storage units from Linux

Hello all,
I attached my SGS2 to my linux computer and was able to access the internal SD card, but was unable to access the external SD card. I was able to navigate with RootExplorer when my device wasn't plugged in to verify that it was mounted, and even did so using the adb shell.
After a bunch of reading, I found out that when you plug in the SGS2, it should show up as TWO devices. In fact it does on my work Win7 machine.
Curious to see what was going on, I looked inside the system logs to see if there were multiple partitions and KDE was only picking up the first one:

As you can see, it found exactly one disk: /dev/sdc.
Am I missing something? Thanks!!
edit:
I may have found a possible solution: http://androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/156875-help-linux-desktop-connect-via-usb.html#post1490358 (Enable "Probe all LUNs on each SCSI device" in the kernel). Will update with resolution.
Did you solve this problem?
How are you connecting? Through the network settings and with the usb mass storage option?
This is what I get this through dmesg:
[17413.586068] usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3

[17414.710003] sd 4:0:0:1: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk
Then I can mount either of them manually.
Yep! I didn't get to test it until just now, had some life things that took importance. Looks like the post about the probing for multiple LUNs was correct. The device now shows up as two drives as expected.

[Q] Has anyone managed to connect their S2 via MTP using Ubuntu?

Has anyone managed to connect their S2 using MTP when running Ubuntu? Obviously I know that it's a very simple tast to just connect via mass storage instead, but I'm interested to know.
I think that Samsung have some weird implementation of MTP because I was able to connect and copy files when I was running CM9 but not on stock ICS. I always get the error message:
Unable to mount SAMSUNG_Android
Error initialising camera: -60: Could not lock the device
Though it does mount and I can see the root of both SDCards, all the folders are empty and I can't copy any files to the cards from the computer as I get a error message reading:
There was an error copying the file into gphoto2://[usb:001,010]/store_00020002.
The same happens whether I try to use MTP or PTP.
I think the problem lies in that libmtp-1.1.3 contains fixes for the S2 but that version isn't included with 11.10 or 12.04

That's connecting via USB mass storage, not mtp. But thanks for trying.

Very easy
Code:
cd ~
sudo apt-get install mtpfs
sudo mkdir /mtp
sudo chmod 775 /mtp
sudo mtpfs -o allow_other /mtp
For dismount
Code:
sudo umount mtpfs
You need to have your device rules ( Check how to install adb if you dont )
what I have found out that mtpfs is unable to preserve timestamps of the files at least on my install.
gphoto2 backend worked fine on CM9 now wile testing CM10 its a bit buggy, I can get the list of files but I am unable to read or rename them.
Most likelly it will improve as development of CM10 progresses rapidly.

I went through the steps above, except the last: How do I install adb? (device rules ?).
While my phone is so connected, the command:

produces the result

Help greatly appreciated.

Ubuntu 13.04 is a drastic improvement for MTP support. I have not got around to trying my S II but I successfully managed a family friends Galaxy TAB 2 with MTP with zero manual modifications to Ubuntu. Everything worked perfect plug and play out of the box.
I have also tried old versions to know how bad they were compared to 13.04.
No luck with S2 and Ubuntu 13.04
I'm on Android 4.1.2 and trying to connect via USB to Ubuntu 13.04. Error I get is that my device is not an MTP device, which it's not as its using USB
Issue is that I don't see the mounted android partitions. To make this worse, it works every now and then. Following is the syslog and the outpu of lsusb

[Q] Programatically destroyed my sd card??? "No medium found"

I have a new external micro sd card for my ICS device (worked fine at first). I tried using the Paragon NTSF android app and evidently screwed my card up nice and hard. Here is what i can and cant do (connecting usb via 2 steps microsd->sd then sd->usb):
1. Windows 7 Disk Management sees the device (but device says something along the lines of no medium)
2. linux Disk Utility sees the device although under "capacity" it says "no medium found"
(when i try to format the device i get the error: "Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: cannot open /dev/sdb: No medium found")
3. linux command: [email protected]:~$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1
dd: opening `/dev/sdb': No medium found
4. linux command:

sudo fdisk 597.162392
(So it sees the device)
any help? Im very nub at linux. Also a nub at IT in general but hopefully i can fix my device.
(There is no data on the drive so im willing to try anything at all)
Reading around i came up with a hypothesis that i deleted some type of software that is needed for the hardware to work???
Have you tired inserting the card into another phone to format it? Which Linux distro are you using?
May be your partition table is gone. try something like partition magic and use repair drive option. Its better if you can use a micro SD card reader for this.
@weatheredeyec57
using lubutu and also ubuntu for the linux distros. tried multiple phones as well
@suki300me
why is a direct microsd reader better than going through micro to regular?

You can update the recovery in the LG mobile support tool.
Run the LG mobile support tool and then look in the top right of the screen and select "Support Tool Options Menu" and then select "Upgrade Recovery"
Hopefully that will work for you and reinstall the stock recovery on your L9.

Thanks, but the Tool:
http://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe
Did not run. See only: To check for software upgrades, you need to connect your PC to the internet
and press "Continue"
But my PCs is connected to the internet.
Is there another tool to flash the Recovery or ROM if the P760 is in SW Upgrade Mode ? (LGFLashTool, LGMobile and KDZ_FW_UPD update fail)

Now i can sucessfully flash the ROM: V10A_00.kdz from http://kdz-directory.tk/lgl9/p760/spain/
The P760 a view hours with no USB-Calble connection and now accu inside.
Before i got: "Page_Error" form the Flashing Software
Enter to SW Upgrade Mode: Power OFF, plug accu out, Press VOL-up & VOL-down (hold it pressed), connect the USB-Cable, wait 10 sec, plug the accu in
the i get the SW Upgrade Mode.
Then i work with: KDZ_Flash-Package_LG_P880

didn't you edit your hosts file in Windows/system32/drivers/etc folder? it prevents your pc to connect to any LG servers. delete those 2 lines, save and reboot, b2capp should work after that.

Yes, with the tool KDZ_Flash-Package_LG_P880 it worked.
The root, install the L9 Recovery Installer
then i tryed to FLASH (with CWM 6.0.1.2): cm-10.2-20140406-NIGHTLY-p760.zip
Now i got "Securtiy Error" *grrrrr*
At the moment i did not get the SW Upgrade mode
