Hello Guys,
I know that there are many threads regarding boot loop etc...
In the end I don't care if I get my S2 working again or not,
but I NEED the files on my internal storage!
I have a Mac and a PC, both with ADB installed,
but no matter if I'm in recovery, or Odin Download Mode,
I can not access my device via ADB.
Is there anything I missed out,
or is it just not possible at all,
and the only thing I can do is wiping it?
Many thanks in advance...

Maybe I should add:
I already checked the Device Manager of my PC, and it DOESNT show up,
so the regular guide for accessing it during recovery mode doesnt work...

I have been searching for someone with a similar situation and i can't seem to find anything, and I am totally lost. Please please please help...
I tried to go to CM from bionix and ended up completely bricked -- i guess i forgot to disable voodoo or some such thing. In any case, I believe I was able to get it repartitioned with Heimdall on a PC -- but Odin wouldn't recognize the phone at all.
I don't have access to the pc, so I now have a mac with heimdall and it doesn't recognize the phone at all. Nothing.
I can get to download, and when the phone boots up into Android system recovery <2e> but doesn't go beyond that. It tries to find /sdcard/update.zip but no such file.
How do I get that file on the phone? even if I am able to get back to heimdall on the pc, how do i get that file on the phone?
Thanks so much for any help!

Well if you can at least boot download mode, and recovery, your soft bricked. It would appear that you have a poor connection to your Mac in that case. Try a different USB cable, or even borrow a friends PC. Preferably, use the Samsung USB cable.

You could use adb commands to push the file into your phone but you would still have to be able to connect to a pc. Like whatiznt said, try a T-Mobile or Samsung brand cable. It that doesn't work then the micro usb port on your phone could be bad. Just to make sure, when you boot into recovery mode are you selecting reinstall packages? You usually have to do this twice for it to work. EDIT,I guess you already tried that since you say the update.zip can't be found.

Hi all, hope one you learned peeps can help me out.
Have the I9100t telstra S2 that belongs to the mother in law, screen broken and touch dead. I need to get a backup of the photos and whatever else on the internal storage.
It powers up, i have managed to get it rooted via odin and i can get it into download mode.
Unfortunately debug is not enabled so i can't use the pull command thru adb as the s2 doesnt show up when i do a adb devices command.
It does connect to odin so if there is anyway to do it, i guess it would be thru that?
Does anyone know how i could possibly enable debug to do an adb pull or backup?
or is there a rom out there that can be flashed via odin and has debug enabled by default?
any help will be greatly appreciated!
Hello people,
Me and my friend kinda did something not really smart, I think it will be helpful to tell you the whole story.
We were planning on flashing a SGS2 which was already rooted to 4.0.3, however we did not have the CWM which had the install from sdcard option so we put the CWM 4 through ODIN, all good till now, however we forgotted that we did a format through the phone menu which as you probably already know wiped out our rom which was on the sdcard. At that time we had forgotten this small detail so we courageously pressed WIPE OUT EVERYTHING...
Our current situation - we have access to CWM and ODIN, however we do not know how to put a rom inside the sdcard, we tried through:
flashing a firmware rom through odin - flash completed, phone freezes on samsung logo - bootloop? (tried 2 firmwares actually)
adb push - problem - in recovery it does not find the phone, it finds the phone when in bootloop however we do not have access (read only) so the push fails
Any ideas how to fix this stupidity of ours would be greatly appreciated...
Regards!
hum.....how about more of that flashing via Odin?
Are you trying stock roms?
This could be useful.
Simple!
Either.....
1. Remove SD Card and plug it into a reader or adapter then copy the rom zip you want to flash.
2. Plug phone into PC via USB then boot into CWM and mount USB via Mounts and Storage and copy zip across.
Or if you want to flash a stock rom simply flash it via download mode with odin.
Thanks for the help everyone!
We managed to do it through push... seems like the USB cable also had some issues and thats the reason we couldnt do it before.
We did also try through the card reader but the phone did not want to recognize the existence of the card in CWM nor it wanted to mount the USB - I have no idea why...
I am glad it's over after a 5 hour struggle
Regards!

Nice guys, lesson learned & let the flashing continue.
Hello,
I'm trying to connect my Samsung GS3 to my computer to use with the Android SDK Manager and the ADB console, but when I connect it to my computer it recognizes it as a Camera and ADB doesn't recognize it either, how do I fix this?
I'm locked out of my phone and trying to unlock it using methods from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620456. So I have no interaction with my phone beyond the locksreen to change from PTP to MTP as I've seen people with similair problems suggest. Is their a workaround?

Since you're already looking in the right place, consider installing a custom recovery (such as philz) with odin and then flash the zip.
Thanks for the help. I was finally able to get my computer to recognize the GS3 (Installed Samsung USB Drivers from their website instead of Kies). But now after it recognizes that I have new hardware installed, when I try to use the Wizard to automatically install the drivers I get the error: "The required section was not found in the inf", did some searching and realized that this is due to not having the wpdmtp.inf file on your computer. I've checked and it is indeed missing, does anyone now of a way to install this file?
I'm still locked out of my phone. And I don't have an SD Card to install recovery and flash the zip as dxppxd suggested.

Take another shot by booting into a custom recovery, most give you adb access while in recovery.
If the phone is locked with usb debugging disabled you won't be able to get adb access.
