Hi all,
A friend of mine dropped in June his Galaxy s3 and broke the screen. It should be all stock (no root and no usb debug) and the software version should be the 4.1.1 or 4.1.2. He said to me that two days before the accident he deleted some files (pictures) and want them back again. The pictures should be recoverable (with recuva) but i don't know how to access to the phone. When i turn in on the screen is black but the phone seem to work because when i plug it into usb i can access (in mtp mode) to the internal and external memory as usual. Is there any chance to control the phone via PC and then root it and check "usb debug", and if not is there another way?
thank a lot
none can help?

Hello guys
I have some issues after i updated my phone to xwki4 firmware.
When i connect my phone to the debugging mode access my files to phone memory and sd card after i disconnect it the phone will restart it self when scanning for files added or removed.
The restart issue will happen even if i just plug my phone in debugging mode and without accessing anything disconnect it.
Using Kies the phone will work fine when i disconnect it.
Anybody come across this issue and solve it?
hope you guys can help me out thanks.
me too having such kind of problem... any solution???
same issue here. using DXKL3 official firmware update via Samsung KIES.
anyone got any idea?
I had the same until some minutes ago..
just were getting some space in the external sd, and went to the "LOST.DIR" folder and there were some files, went to the same folder in the phone sd and is was empty, so I deleted the files of that folder in the external sd, and it worked for me
Friend dropped his GS3 and screen is dead but phone works as evidenced by sounds and button lights, will have it repaired but we want to recover files from internal SD card first (precious kid pics on holiday last week wouldn't you know)
I can boot the phone into recovery and connect via adb, but can not seem to mount the internal SD, presumably since phone was never rooted.
Without rooting (which would void the warranty he oh so needs to use) is there a way to mount and pull files? Or am I barking up a fallen tree?
All help appreciated!

Click to expand...

If it switches on still then let it switch on and simply connect your phone to your windows pc and wait till MTP services pops up with your internal and external devices. Then you can just recover your files.. Your phone should be detected automatically on your pc..
Apologies but I should have described the problem more, plugging it into Windows does not trigger mtp mode, android file transfer does not see a device on Mac, and Kies sees a locked device we can not seem to unlock via the dead screen...

If he has set up his dropbox account they may have synced automatically and be stored online. Log in via pc and check.

Hi Gods of the Internet - Please help!
Trying to help out a friend:
He has a Galaxy S4 (I9500) Android 4.3.
He took a video on christmas day - one that he cannot afford to lose, but then deleted it (like a professional noob )
Now he wants to try and restore it.
"Use any recovery software" - they said BUUUUTTTT Can only get the phone to connect in PTP or MTP modes, which cannot be used by the recovery software.
So I put on TWRP for the guy but cannot mount as USB (not sure if this is what that functionality is actually for anyway).
In short, If I can get the phone to connect as a USB mass storage device (Internal SD card NOT EXTERNALSD) then my problem will be solved - anyone know how to fix this?
Hi,
I have a galaxy s3 with a broken display and locked screen.
Is there a way to access the files by connecting it to PC?
Only found this method:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...how-to-unlock-android-lockscreen-pin-t3619871
but it requires to put a .zip on the sd card which is not possible (usb connection not activated at the phone)
thank you very much
edit: phone is not rooted

Hi, I lost my dog yesterday and have accidently deleted a few videos and lots of photos of our last months together, these were stored on the SD card in my phone. I have a Motorolo G3 running Android 6.0.1.
I have spent most of today downloading various apps to try and get my files back, DiskDigger was the only sucessful one but it was only able to recover thumbnail size pictures. I have tried Recuva which cannot see my SD Card when the phone is connected via USB with the USB file transfer option enabled. Easeus can see the phone but asks that I enable USB mass storage to recover the files, unfortunately I already have this enabled when I see the message.
Would rooting my phone help? From what I can gather I only need to root my phone if the files I want to recover were stored on the phones internal storage, I am mistaken?
Does anyone know how I can recover these files? There are a few very special photos and videos that I desperately want back.
Thanks
No ideas?
