[Q] Broken Screen(LCD), How to backup ? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, my sgs3 got the LCD broken, I haven't image and touch don't work, but phone works, it vibrate etc... Now I would like to backup my internal memory /sdcard but I'm in MIUI v5 CM10.1 4.2.2(datagutt), and when I connect it to pc it shows like an usb and don't open, is there a way to backup /sdcard from recovery ?, I can acces anything but can't see and use screen.
Thank's for your help in advance

If it were me I'd look into Philz recovery and usb access. Not tried it myself so can't give any detail, but it rings a bell.

Can you explain a bit more to help me, I already tried something adb recognizes phone and detect it in recovery, but when I do
Code:
C:\Android SDK\sdk\platform-tools>adb backup -all
It doesn't work and give me a lot of text..
EDIT: Maybe need I to put a name after -all ?
EDIT2: Retried adb and get in recovery mode
Code:
Microsoft Windows [version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. Tous droits réservés.
C:\Windows\system32>cd C:\Android SDK\sdk\platform-tools
C:\Android SDK\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
4df1c6d921804ff9 recovery
C:\Android SDK\sdk\platform-tools>adb backup -all santos
Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation.
C:\Android SDK\sdk\platform-tools>
How can I unlock ? I'm in recovery and don't have screen ? :/

You want to be using adb pull commands from /data/media

I must ask, isn't there a "thing" that can be used as MHL and OTG simultaneously? because if there was you could maybe plug it to your pc/tv and use keyboard/mouse

Does MHL work with cm10.1? And where can I find this one with mouse ? (Never seen with mouse)

Mike Skip's toolkit should be able to do the adb commands for you:

Theres literally billions of tutorials on the internet. If you didn't find one, you didnt use google. Google "adb pull"
Its so simple, I already gave you most the command
Code:
adb pull /data/media/* c:\users\safe0716\desktop\sdcard
for example.

Thank's, it worked, you saved me <3
I copied everything, now I can just transfer from my pc to my other S3
EDIT: It only copies the /0/ (4.2.2 multiusers...) folder, and I wanted to have a clockworkmod backup wich is before the /0/ folder, I tried
Code:
adb pull /mnt/shell/emulated/ C:\Users\XXXXXX\Desktop\backup
but it doesn't work, anyway ?

/data/media/* should get everything in /data/media....
do
Code:
adb shell
ls /data/media
exit
To see what directories it can see.
you didnt pull /data/media/0 so your cwm folder should be there.

Cool. Glad I helped.

My friend`s i9001 had a broken screen. So in order to recover data, I Just connected phone with usb to PC. Even though I could hear connection sound from both my PC and Phone but Phone was not visible in PC.
So I just ranged my friend`s i9001 number. When phone started ringing I pressed HOME Button. I was able to receive call. I disconnected the call within 10-15 seconds. Then after 7 to 10 seconds, I again ranged i9001. And voila I could see phone in My Computer. I have tried in windows 8 64 bits and windows XP. In windows XP , I just installed Samsung SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_1.4.6.0.exe. However in windows 8 I also installed kies. But after installing kies I againg installed SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_1.4.6.0.exe.

They're on the phone's memory. I've tried kies but the phone is apparently in debugging mode

if you have adb running you can pull using
adb pull /sdcard
and that will pull the entire /sdcard.

Is there a reason you can't mount to a pc and browse the files on your computer?

Well you need to select mount on the phone (if it is not enabled beforehand), I guess with the screen foobar'd it is not an option.
ADB is your friend, there is not much thinking involved if you can understand written instructions on how to set it up.

Is there any way to root xt910 without PC?

My Razr USB connector malfunctioned
it can charge the battery only
is there any way to root without a pc?
NO! Else you have enough skill to give the commands diretcly from terminal emulator and also execute the exploit from the internal/external storage. But it's definately not sure that this will work.
Give your device to repair if you are sure that you connector doesn't work. Otherwise you could try another cable, maybe your cable is broken. Or your PC isn*t configured right. Check these things and try again.

i use the same cable to flash the razr from arctic 3.0 bk to 2.3.6 eu .
it works fine...
Maybe there is something wrong with the used drivers on your PC. Uninstall all of them then reinstall Moto-helper and try again to root your device.

everything in PC all via adb,
so, you can do this in phone's terminal too.
there's not difference

Except the motofail exploit or zergrush they are both executable files and both need a pc.
Also wireless adb needs root sadly

Dude, it DOESN'T WORK! The current exploits are only working executed from a pc. Take your device to a friend or to an cyber cafe and root it.

adb server is out of date ...killing?

Anyone know how to fix this?
I tried a reinstall of the PC Companion software, but that didn't do any good.
Regards,
Mike
Update android sdk
Tried that, and no dice, still doesn't work. Strangely enough, the rooting still worked.

used to happen to me on ubuntu sometimes.
sudo ./adb kill-server
sudo ./adb start-server
make this a .sh file and run outside terminal.
if you run inside terminal, then it will give the error again after closing the terminal

adb-fastboot-and-other-tools-zip
remove the already existing adb.exe in SDK or rename it to some other name. and try adb commands.
it should work as iḿ using it every day.

Or go to

Yes. Closing the flashtool worked for me. If any one having problem try closing flashtool or something that is using adb.
That happens to me when i wanna start sdb server for manual root while having flashtool open.
For my case, I check USB debugging as it uncheck automatically...

[GUIDE][SOLUTION] OnePlus 2 not showing in ADB but shows in Fastboot

Hi People !!!
I had my OP2 showing in fastboot but not being able to show in adb devices though other devices were showing correctly there.So,drivers were perfect.Also,I was able to use adb over wifi on my OnePlus 2 but not adb through cable.So,I set up on my mission to get it show.And after 10 hrs of a lot hassle,I am successful.
So,here is the guide.
Open windows command prompt (Windows Key + R)
Ènter: %HOMEPATH%\.android
and then press OK
This will open the hidden .android folder within Home Folder of the current user.
There you will see a file called: adb_usb.ini
Edit the file using Notepad or Editplus/Notepad+
Just add the text: 0x2A70
without pressing any additional enter key/new line characters, save the file
now go to command prompt and restart adb:
adb kill-server
adb devices
Now the device will start showing up!
If you don't see any adb_usb.ini file (This happened for me.) , do this :-
Click the Start menu. ...
Type "folder options" (without the quotes). ...
A dialog box with the title "Folder Options" will appear. ...
Click to uncheck the box for "Hide extensions for known file types".
Click the "OK" button at the bottom of the dialog box.
In the .android folder ,create a notepad file with name adb_usb.ini (Make sure .ini is not in the name but in the extension.)
In the notepad file , enter this :-
Code:
# add your vendor IDs, one per line
0x1949
0x18D1
0x2A70
8.) Save the file and close it...ANd follow the remaining steps.
I will be thankful to you a lot..
i have tried all the possible methods to connect via adb if this works..
ssly it will be awesome

Did somebody got this to work on Linux? Probably you need to adjust udev rules there to get it to work. Will try out today and let you know how it goes.

You need to add a udev*rules file that contains a USB configuration. In the rules file, each device manufacturer is identified by a unique vendor ID, as specified by the ATTR{idVendor} property. To set up OP2 detection on Ubuntu Linux:
Log in as root and create this file:/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules.
Use this format to add OP2 vendor to the file:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2a70", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
Now execute:
chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
Done
I am 99.99 percent sure it will work.. But you should try and tell me.

Sorry for asking, but does this whole issue affect Oneplus two devices with original stock ROM (Oxygen OS 2.1.0), too?
Or does it just affect devices with custom firmware?

Fastboot should not be affected by CM at all, as it's in the bootloader. Did it work before you made the changes ?
Maybe worth reinstalling the fastboot packages.

I had a wrong driver, cant root for the moment but havent unlocked the bootloader so think that is the problem
Well. Without unlocking the bootloader you won't get anywhere. Fastboot is a bootloader feature. You don't need root for fastboot.

Didn't work for me.
So found mine in my install folder
c:\android\.android\adb_usb.ini
After each change below I ran adb kill-server then adb devices.
I already have the line 0x2a70, I first changed it to 0x2A70 (just in case)
tried renaming it to adb_usb.ini.bak, to see if it would recreate, nope.
renamed the folder .android to .android.bak and it created the adbkey and adbkey.pub but not the .ini.
So looking at the .android folder, I think I learned something new tonight, I assume this is the public/private key pair store for adb to do it's work? So it truly is just a usb connection issue then if it works over network and not with the usb cable connected yes?
So I even tried re-running the '15 seconds ADB Installer' version 1.3 by Snoop05 that I used originally and still no change. Any advice appreciated.
My ADB is working but the fastboot isn't working! Thank you for your help!
Still not detecting
I tried doing your steps but its not helping. My phone enters the fastboot mode but the pc never detects it.

any help would be appreciated
My fix was:
turn on adb over TCP on phone in developer options.
At cmd type:
adb connect <ip.address>
adb devices (now shows device)
adb reboot bootloader
Open another cmd if you don't get your prompt back and continue
still not working
i tried all the steps and my op2 only shows when connected via wifi but that is too slow for an adb backup, it still doesnt show up when connected over usb
any ideas? or is any info needed?
