[Q] Problem with adb - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Duos GT-s5302. I installed a ROM that has a bug for external storage (USB) and other bugs. I want to install another fine ROM. When i placed my external sd card in the phone, i entered the recovery mode and i do not find the option for update from external sd (i find only 4 options). When i placed the USB in the PC, i get "Please Insert a Disk into Drive E:" I tried some fix methods but nothing new
Can you do me a favor please ? I can't use my phone now
Thank you

Some changes are made

Hi !
I cherched for a solution and some people told me that adb is a good one. To resolute the problem i need to send a rom from PC to internal SD Card. So, i tried the push function and i got permission denied, i cherched over the forum i found that i need to activate the USB debugging in the phone (i can't do it because the ROM 'im using has a bug), run as Root (it told me that adbd can't run as root in builds production) and give permissions with "su" function (i got a text saying the permission is denied). Then i cherched again and i found that i need to run adb in recovery mode, but my Samsung Galaxy Pocket Duos GT-s5302 is listed on device only in boot mode.
Can anyone give me a solution please ?
Please Help
Thank's

[Q] Help needed : To flash international ROM on Chinese Lenovo Ideapad A1-07

Hello all,
I recently purchased Lenovo Ideapad A1-07 (16 GB) in Shanghai. I am trying to flash international ROM on it by following these steps.
1. Download the file, rename it to "update.zip".
2. Copy the file to the root of micro SD card.
3. Hold "Vol-" button, then power on. You will see a android logo and a status bar.
4. After downloading the ROM, A1 is turned off itself.
5. Power it on and you will found that the animation after the lenovo logo is different. It takes longer time in first power on. Then you may find the language is changed to Japanese/ Chinese. You have to change it back to English in the option menu.
6. Now you can have an A1 with google apps!
When i connect my tablet to my Laptop i am not able to find 'root' folder in which we have to copy the downloaded international ROM file. Does this mean that i have to root my tablet ?
Also the step 2 above says that the downloaded file is to be copied to micro SD card. Does this mean an external micro SD card? Since my tablet has 16GB space i am not using any external card.
Please help.
Regards,
Jimmey
Can any one please help me with this ?
I copied the "update.zip" to my SD card and the external MicroSD card as well. For the life of me I could not figure it out...I tried over and over. However, I pulled a total "duh" when I realized it was named "update.zip.zip" Please make sure it is named correctly (update.zip) and enter into recovery...actually, it will automatically update and not enter into recovery.
BTW, did you download the USB drivers? You need those for the A1 to be recognized.
Please read the first post and see the links for USB drivers:

Hi Mike,
I had not installed ADB drivers but i did that y'day; after installation i execute the command 'adb devices' on the command prompt and its showing my device.
The file is named correctly as update.zip. I copied the file update.zip to the root folder (which has other folders like Android, DCIM, download, LOST.DIR, removable_sdcard, etc) then i hold the vol- and power on button. It shows Lenovo on the screen then it shuts down.
My suggestion is to try the vol+ button instead of the vol-. Worked for me and for someone who posted on a German Lenovo support forum.
BTW, the ADB drivers are not needed for file transfer, you just have to click the "enable usb storage" popup for that. You do need the ADB drivers if you want to root your device, but installing them would not hinder normal file transfer.
Good luck!

[Q] Access USB via ADB

Hey guys,
is it possible to access the internal storage via adb, without having a display?
My Galaxy SII Display is broken, but the rest should work.
usually i have to lock in with the security points that have to be connected (i dont know how that is called in english),
to allow access via usb.
now that the display does not work, i can not go that way.
so is it possible to access the internal storage via adb?
or do you have another way for me to get my data back?
i am not going to buy a new galaxy s2 and replacing the motherboard,
because its not worth it.
i have cm10.1 installed with dorimanx kernel, and root is allowed for adb and apps.
i never used adb, so i dont know how to start my search.
i also have the problem that i dont know how to look for that thing,
because im not english.
it would be nice if you can give me a start,
or another way to access the internal storage.
i also thougt about accessing via recovery.
i think i can go into recovery, and by pressing volume and power keys,
i can naviagte to mount data.
but im not sure about the steps,
so if anyone have a dorimanx 7.xx kernel,
can you please write the steps down for me?
thank you.

if you can mount in recovery then mount everything in recovery,connect your device to PC and the open command prompt and navaigate to folder where you have set up android sdk.
now do the following
1) adb shell
2) now type ls -it'll list all folder and files.
3) now navigate to your sd-card (can't tell exact name for internal sd card) by typing cd <directory name>
4) you can list all files by using ls command.
5) Once you find the exact directory name of sd card and files to be recovered then type exit
6) now type adb pull /path/to/your/folder/filename.File will be saved in working directory...
i don't have s2,just helping you with some common adb stuffs.
btw you can use adb file managers which provides GUI.Like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821601
adb
Connect the phone to system, Open terminal and do adb remount then adb shell.
Now do ls, you will be able to see all the folder and everything. Go to Sd-card folder and there you should have all your data.
There is and app ADBExplorer. I have never used this tool, but you can check it is GUI.
Thanks,
The ADBFileexplorer worked very well for me.
Just booted in recovery and started the explorer.jar in the adb folder.
Thank you for the tips.
This can be closed now

[Q] Broken Screen, Recovering Files without USB Debugging turned on

My S3 I9300 screen is completely broken (blank) and I want to recover my photos. I can turn on the phone and it makes all the usual noises therefore indicating that it is working.
I have downloaded the Unified Toolkit from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
But it seems that I need USB Debugging turned on for me to do anything with the phone - but this is impossible without a working screen...
I can blindly boot the handset into recovery mode - this results in Windows recognising the device (a device with no folders appears in explorer), and so does the Unified Toolkit (serial number is displayed).
Does anyone have any suggestions about how I can proceed? Are there any other tools that I can use? Is it possible to turn on USB debugging some other way?
Cheers
pull the files via adb while in recovery. find a guide if you don't know how
The unified toolkit will handle adb pull files. Option 11 in main menu if I'm not mistaken

Well, maybe you can try pull out the memory card from you S3 I9300 phone, and then recover files from memory card.

The whole point is that they're on the internal memory.
If your phone has a broken screen, you may try to recover data from phone with this tutorial: Recover data from phone whose screen is broken
hope this helps.

Download usb driver of your device into your computer and install it, then connect usb cable from phone to computer,, it should recognize your device.
Doesn't work,doesn't see external storage or sd card

That is because you deleted the vold.fstab file which handles this.

##Press the thanks button if it helped.##
Yes i know that, what i dont know is how to get it back.
Do you have a custom recovery or bootloader mode? If you do, most accept adb commands while they are booted in this mode and they're separate from your Android OS, so they should still work.
Didn't have any of that but i managed to get stock vold.fsbat file through root ftp program so this thread can be locked.

I can't transfer any files from py PC!

Hello!
I have recently bought this phone with installed custom ROM and I wanted to install another one. And then I downloaded the ROM and formatted the phone from TWRP and I just connected it to the PC and there was nothing.. I searched for hours I tried so many adb drivers, usb drivers, etc and I couldn't detect the phone in the ADB powershell nor transfer any files. The only progress I managed to do is side loading it.. The ADB detected it and then I tried adb push (the exact name of the file) /sdcard and after that (error: closed) appeared.. I think the main reason is because before I formatted the phone I didn't allow the usb debuging but apparently you can't allow it from the recovery... I don't have any type-c OTGs laying around.. How in the world am I supposed to transfer the ROM to my phone? Please help me! Thank you!

Okey, I just managed to use adb push without side loading just in the twrp and I don't know how to delete the post so excuse me for the spam!
Heyyo, I'm the maintainer of official builds of TWRP for the LeEco Le Max 2.
Usually for TWRP it can sometimes mess up USB mode if the device is plugged into a PC before it fully boots to TWRP.
Windows for some reason messes up the driver install for MTP as well. Usually of this happened you will need to manually go into device manager and select update driver on it and manually select the driver to install like this:
