i actually tried the 6 clicks power 2 clicks power and nothing happened. going to try droid explorer tho im pretty sure debugging was on
ive tried droid explorer too and my device wont show. man idk this sucks
Have you tried using kies? Did you ever have adb running prior? What happens when you type adb remount?
Install adb drivers again and then download the android sdk.
Start run
Cmd
Mkdir c:\sdcard
Cd C:\androidsdk\tools
Adb pull /sdcard c:\sdcard

[Q] Mount Photon as USB Mass Storage in Linux.

Hey all-
Trying to push a few files to my photon and can't seem to get it to mount as USB Mass Storage in Linux. When I click the Mass Storage Option from the Manage USB dialog it doesn't do anything at all. I have checked 'lsusb' and the device is there listed as 'Motorola PCS'. This is a new install(less than a week old) of LUbuntu 11.10, I also made sure libusb was installed (had to of been for lsusb to work I think). Tried 2 different cables as well. The Android SDK is downloading now to see if I can access over ADB, I will report back later with those results.
Any advice here on getting this running? Anyone have success in mounting it in Linux? Surely to god someone has, a ton of people her use linux.
Photon is stock with the latest .7 OTA, haven't even attempted root or unlock yet. Not sure I will until we get CM7.
Thanks in advanced.
ADB Doesn't seem to be getting anything either, I get '??????? no permissions'.
Disregard finally was able to get it going...not sure how but it works now.
Thanks for your time.
for adb to work for me whenever I power up the cpu I need to sudo and
Code:
./adb start-server
before adb works properly.

Help

Ok so i play lacrosse and left my phone in my pocket and being a goalie the ball was shot and hit my phone breaking the screen. Everything works Touch wise and iv used screen cast to see the phone, the only problem is where i start to enter my pattern is the side that looks to have taken the worst impact. Now my question is i really need to get to the internal memory is there anyway to do so.
hey,
so if you know the files you want to acces while your phone is running you could use adb to acces these files with pc.
requirements:
- usb connected phone
- android sdk installed on pc
- running phone (don't know if only booted or still available in fastboot mode)
- maybe rooted phone (don't know exactly, my razr is rooted with zergrush v2)
PS: with the adb pull command you can pull .apk and other files from your phone.
PPS: can be possible you have to change permissions
Or (and this is an expensive "or") you could use a webtop dock.

Yeah, if you use adb to pull them, it should work fine, and I don't think you even need to root

[Q] Smashed Vibrant

Hello,
My vibrant got recently run over by a car and the screen doesn't work anymore However, I know that it still can function because I can see the 4 capacitive keys on the bottom light up when I touch them. Is there anyway for me to be able to view the Vibrant's harddrive on my computer without having to switch to USB mode (since my screen doesn't work)?
if you have adb installed and know some basic linux commands you can use ADB to view the contents of your vibrants storage via command prompt and should be able to copy most of your data over. As far as a graphical solution i think there was something being developed called screen cast at some point but i dont think that will be much use to you as i believe it has been abandoned
I am familiar with adb but I can't see my device for some reason when I connect my phone to my computer and run 'adb devices'. I've used adb in the past to push / pull files but I remember having to mount the device from the dropdown menu before it would be recognized. Is there any way to force the phone to be connected? Thank you for your help!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
are you on a stock rom? ever since i started using custom roms ive always had ADB debugging enabled, unfortunately you may be SOL if you need to enable ADB debugging as both the adb method and screen cast require ADB to work,the other option is to take apart your vibrant and have the internal memory chip read that way tho your stand a good risk of damaging the internal memory chip

Help extracting data from Android Device

Hi, I hope I am posting in the right section? I found the site really difficult to navigate having never used the site before. If its in the wrong place please can a mod move it.
Ok so I have an Android Set Top Box (STB) and I am trying to extract all the data from it. It is an mxp pro 4k. I don't want a backup of the data I want to extract full images of the device for analysing with forensic tools. The problem is I can't seem to communicate with it. I have the full SDK that is up to date, once navigated to the platform tools folder I opened a command line and typed
Code:
adb devices
after plugging in a USB cable to the OTG port. No prompts appeared on the screen to trust any connections like my iPhone does when I connect it. Adb devices returns no results. So I tried wireless adb, I typed
Code:
adb connect 192.168.x.x
and it said connected. Then when running the devices command I had the ip and port then the word device. I then get a shell by using
Code:
adb shell
Which i then elevate to root by using
Code:
su
. Then when i try an adb pull or adb backup I get a message saying error device offline.
Im new to Android so not even sure I am doing it right. I have done a lot of reading and research but seem to be stuck with the basics. To confirm USB debugging is turned on.
