Hi!
I broke the display of my GT-i9100.....(but the phone seems work...sometimes it vibrates)
And I was wondering if I could copy the files of the internal memory (sdcard) on my PC (Ubuntu)...
I tried to connect it via usb running ADB but is says "device offline" and I can't do anything....
I think the " usb debugging" on the phone is on...:good:
The phone is even rooted,,,I'm using CM 10.2 (Android 4.3 nightly)
Unfortunately the screen is all BLACK...(but i think the touchscreen still work)
How can I copy the sdcard??? Any idea??
[p.s. sorry for my bad english]

AFAIK, adb is the only way of retrieving your data. Or you could replace your screen.
Are you sure USB debugging was ON?

Ain't there no way to see the display of the phone on my PC? I mean, something that could make me see what happens on the phone...cuz I can't check if the USB debugging is on if I don't see where are the settings..

When I plug USB cable in my win64 device manager recognises the usb connection as "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device"
Kies automatically starts.
but Kies does not does not connect to my phone
nor does my phone show in "My computer"
If I enter storage mode then I can access SD card and external card.
of significant note is I recently did a full format and installed Check's Dark Knight Edition Rom (but I can't post there due to newb restrictions).
I have tried to reinstall drivers using Kies but that hasn't worked.
I have deleted the drivers from PC using device manager and allowed windows to reinstall them.
any help is greatly appreciated, thank you
I get no error messages
I've tried connecting with debug mode... it installs drivers but still computer doesn't recognise phone.
Still phone appears connected in device manager.
You have to close all open programs on your phone and return it to the home page. Until you do this your phone will not connect. You should then see a Usb Plug on your screen. It should then say Initializing and then connected. Then you should see it in My Computer and get into you phones files though there too.
Hope this Helps......
Thanks.. but I know about that and it isn't that.. also.. since installing LiteningRom this has not been necessary... but good call thank you.
I've tried to connect on a different computer and was unable to connect to that.. so possibly an issue with the phone?
Could it be that you have activated the "USB debugging" mode under settings->applications->development?
So I install Cognition S2 ROM and it works fine!

Nope not that.. I had turned debugging USB on and off a number of times in the hope it would do something.. but nope
Just to test this out...
I reinstall Check's Dark Knight Edition Rom and once again I cannot connect to my computer...
I will remove this rom, factory rest and install something else
I have noticed.. 2 extra drives appear in "my Computer"... I can't access them but they appear when I plug in my phone.. and disappear when I remove it
so clearly my external and internal cards phone SD cards are not being recognised correctly when using Check's Dark Knight Edition Rom...
any ideas?
and yes I have removed, deleted drivers numerous times... installed via Kies installed via auto Windows
ok... installed Cognition S2 ROM and connected to computer... it the phone says MPT - initialisation then MPT- connection it didn't say this with dark rom!
For anyone else having this issue, it seems to be related to MTP. MTP is present in cognition, and removed from Check's rom, you can easily add this back in to make it work.
I've done a search for this with the intention of reinstalling it..
but I cannot find anything... maybe my search is off or I'm not using the correct keyword.. any help here would be great.
Also.. as this seems to be removed from a number of ROMs I have a further question.. what is the alternative?
Thanks

Thanks.. but still what do ppl use to back up their phones? if they haven't got this installed?
Dizzee, I had the exact same problem as yours and solved it my removing "USB debugging" in settings, as Alchemius mentioned previously. Can you double check you've done this.
do i need a Sdcard to root my phone?
Didn't on the skyrocket, the phone has a built in one

The sdcard is the built-in 16gb storage.
In the guide you will see external sdcard too, that's the optional card
which is a removable one.
so just to clarify i don't need a SDcard to root if im following the guide that's stickied?

Looks like you are not using the Samsung Unified USB driver.
Try this one, this is what I use.
Here is the Samsung Unified USB driver: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...13196871580881
Be sure to uninstall kies if it's installed and uninstall any other samsung usb driver,
then reboot windows before installing the unified samsung drivers.
Good Luck!

Do you have the newest KIES installed? I think I read in another thread where someone else experienced this same problem and it finally got corrected when they installed the newest version on their PC.

Hi,
My USB is behaving really wierd.
If I use USB debug my device is not recognized at al by my computer. With USB debug unchecked it's recognized and I can view and delete files but not transfer any new one. Transfer just results in a timeout saying "device disconnected".
This applies to both the internal and external card.
Tired different cables, different computers and operative systems.
Please help, tired of transfer files via keys air all the time :/

Hey,
when u have the Debugging mode activated and want to see it on PC, u have to hit the notification, which appears when u connect it.
Then press connect USB and it should appear on PC
When u don't use this mode it went in an "Kies-mode" which PC directly recognize.
Or when u go to settings>Wireless etc>USB and press here "Use USB as Masstorage" it's the same like when u press activate on notification while debuggin mode.
Hope I helped a bit ...

Well don't mean to be rude but ofc i connect USB storage when I plug it in. When in USB debugging mode, the device is not even accessable but in kies mode, its accessable but I can't transfer any files to it :/

Transfer a small file see if that times out .

I know this is not a solution to your problem, but I recommend transferring files over wifi (NOT KIES AIR) which, to me, is much more simpler and better way.
Here is how:
first install free "SwiFTP FTP Server" application from Market
install it and enter desired username and password. Enable wifi and start application.
On your computer or laptop, install some FTP client (I recommend "Filezilla").
Enter user information you previously configured on your smartphone, connect and voila! You know have access to all of your smartphone's files and folders.
Like I said, for me, this is much better and simpler way of transferring files than using USB cable. Give it a try and see.

Just wanted to share some tips to those who wanted to re-enable the Mass Storage Mode on their Android 4.2.2
1. Connect your phone to a computer (The device will be connected in MTP mode as default)
2. Reboot your phone while connected to the computer
3. Wait until you see the USB icon on your Notification Bar
4. You will now have an option to select Mass Storage henceforth
:cyclops:
I'd appreciate a "THANKS" if this helps you.

Nope this does not work as advertised in the OP. Neither is there a "USB mass storage" option anywhere in the device's settings. Thanks anyhow.
Update: still no. I rebooted several times. No joy. I tried rebooting into recovery mode-- disabled if it's connected to a PC. Still no.

Will this option work for jelly bean 4.2.1?
No joy. This either never worked or this trick is obsolete. I have plain stock kitkat 4.4 on my phone (htc one google play ed) and mass storage appears to be completely removed now. stuck with sh!tty MTP/PTP that does not permit transfer of non "media" files. Best solution I can see is getting an SFTP client and xfer over wifi. Why oh why is Google turning evil and doing hacker-hostile and becoming as annoying as Apple?

I feel you. I stopped using anything i[whatever] for any reason because of the stupidity of the storage and transfer software. Now google is doing it. Must join google+ to give feedback on an app? Seriously? Can't access content on my SD card unless the file type meets an arbitrary set of criteria? I'm just waiting for Ubuntu Touch to be ready for an SGH-T989 and I'll dump google next. Either that, or I go back to a damn flip phone and leave all this crap behind.
@bejunk
thanks for the build.prop suggestion, although i cant get the option "MTP, PTP, UMS" in Storage setting, at least i can use UMS...
here's what my opinion;
using MTP;
-faster data transfer
-less reliable; prone to get "cant copy file, phone not responding"
-and if delete file while in phone, connect to PC the file is still there
using UMS;
-slower data transfer
-more reliable than MTP, in my case its secure, no error unless youre "massaging" your phone (blame cable)
-if delete a file while in phone, connect to PC the file is deleted (which is good, no evidence )
UMS is better than MTP in my case
btw, im GT-i9100G SlimKat 4.4.2 (yes, i know this is Sony section)
nope

I do not yet have root on my trasformer pad, until last night I thought that UMS was required to get root. I just need to install the fastboot drivers which I thought I had already done. I will update if it turns out I'm wrong (again), all this stuff with the ADB's, fastboot and cmd is confusing me; I have had to root, unroot, wipe, flash etc. loads of times on my galaxy ace but all that had could be done from the phones recovery almost instantly. geuss i'll just have to sort of evolve and get used to it being harder to root and install a recoveries now!
