I have a Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 with TWRP and CM11 on it that I need to recover some data off of. The tablet turns on, but the LCD screen is broken, so I can't enter my password or anything like that. How would I access it through my PC without having to input anything through the screen?
I do have TWRP, but again, can't do much on the tablet end. (Possibly go through terminal on PC?)
Any ideas?
I had most of my stuff on the micro SD, so I have all of that. However, I did also have some stuff on the internal memory.

If you can get it booted to TWRP, your PC should detect it and you should be able to access your storage.
Okidoke, I'll try that. Thanks!
How to Recover Deleted Files from Android Tablet on Mac
Tablets are really powerful devices for enhancing your productivity and online experience whether for business use or life in general. Smaller than a laptop and bigger than a smart phone, a tablet is perfect to take with you on the go. However the fact you cannot ignore or deny is that, data loss on Android tablet always happens due to various reasons, like accidental deletion, rooting, software update, factory reset, and so on.
Step 1: Download Android Tablet Recovery Mac. Once the download is complete, double-click the .exe file to install it on your Mac. Run the software and choose the file types that you want to recover.
Step 2: Connect Android Tablet to Mac. Use the USB cable to connect your Android tablet to your Mac. Once connected successfully, click “Next” to start scanning the deleted or lost data on the tablet.
Step 3: Preview and Recover Data from Android Tablet. When scan is over, you can preview all recoverable photos, videos, contacts, messages, etc. in details and selectively recover them to your Mac.

Hi,
I am completely new to android coming from WinMo.
I have 4 new Nexus S phones in the family. I need to transfer some files to all of the phones. There is no SD card, only 16GB Flash. All of the files I need are on my mac, but I can use PC as well if this is easier.
1. How do I transfer music and video files to the phones from the computer?
2. I have several large .apk files on my mac (Large enough that I cannot e-mail them). I would like to sideload them, but cannot use SD card method. How do I transfer them to the phone for installation?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Please be as specific as possible, as I never used android before. WinMo used to be easy with Windows on PC.
Thanks a lot
Sincerely,
Mike
You can connect the phone to your computer with a USB cable.
Hello,
The way i would do it is to transfer the files over usb via a micro usb to usb cable connected to your computer, of which should come with the phones. I only know the process for windows but mac should work the same.
Before you connect the phone to the computer you must make sure usb debugging is enabled on the phones you want to connect. This setting is found in your applications menu, in there click on settings then applications then development then check the box 'usb debugging'. It will come up with a warning message read if you want then press ok. While you are there you might as well check the box 'unknown sources' under applications which will allow you to install your large .apk's from your internal memory rather than the android market.
Once this is done you now need to connect the usb cable. If all is good you should see a green little android with a usb cable for a hand. Click on 'turn on usb storage'. This will hopefully send windows to fetch drivers for your phone to install it and any future sd card you intend to buy as a hardrive listed under my computer. IF you have software on the phone that is used to sync media this may take your phone and display it in my computer as a portable device.
Once the file is on your phone you can then send that file over bluetooth to the other phones if you prefer may save a little time if your in a rush. This is between phones. Go back into settings found in your applications menu. This time go to Wireless and Network, go to Bluetooth settings and in this turn on bluetooth (must be done for each phone though when you want to transfer). Now you must pair the phones that will be transferring before sending/recieving files. To do this make sure the THEIR phone is set to be visible and then 'search for devices' on YOUR phone. You can skip that 'search for devices' step simply by clicking on the name of the phone if it shows up saying 'paired but not connected'. You will get a warning if they are connected, and you wont have to pair the two devices again.
Now you can go back to the files you transfered from usb and find it in your file browser, long press on the file and select share, then bluetooth then it will send a notification to the other phone. On the other phone to accept the incoming bluetooth file you must pull down the dropdown menu (slide downwards with your finger from the top edge of the home screen) and accept via the notification.
Goodluck.

1. Use a USB cable.
2. Use this: http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...-central-sideload-wonder-machine-v-1-2-a.html . I recommend using the installer version (for windows) and make sure you have the drivers installed for your device.
I have a stock Evo View running Honeycomb 3.2.1. Interestingly, neither of my computers, both mac and pc, will detect my tablet when I connect it by USB. This worked just a few weeks ago when I moved some files onto the device. The tablet charges through USB, but I do not get the notification option to use as USB storage. Within "settings > connect to pc" I've tried a number of configurations (default configuration type = disk drive, charge only) and I have also tried checking and unchecking "ask me about USB connection type whenever I connect my tablet to a PC." Nothing new happened.
Additionally, on the mac, I have the Android File Transfer app installed. When I open that i get a notification that says "No Android Device Found"
Coincidentally, I recently installed the Dropbox desktop beta for Mac which automatically detects pictures on a camera and uploads them to Dropbox. When I connected my device, Dropbox checked my device for pictures because it recognizes it as a camera. I instantly got a system error message saying that my device was not ejected properly. However, the mac never detected my device as a drive. Following that, I tried to connect to my PC and all it does is charge. My PC also does not detect my tablet as a drive. I'm thinking the new dropbox desktop client may have been the culprit for breaking my usb connection between my tablet and mac.
Has anyone else experience this problem? If not, is there a way to rebuild my usb connection between my tablet, mac, and pc?
well i would try uninstalling dropbox
Also in Settings/Applications/Development/Usb debugging should be checked.
Thanks. Appreciate the advice.
I did uninstall dropbox, on the View and on the Mac. That didn't help.
USB Debugging was checked. I can see my device in fastboot and adb. However, neither Mac nor PC will detect my tablet and allow me to mount as a hard drive.
I did a factory data reset and that worked. Both computers will recognize the View and I am receiving the notification "charge only, hard disk, htc sync, etc." again.
I wanted to break the usb connection again to confirm that it was in fact either dropbox's android beta, desktop beta, or a combination of the two. I am fairly certain that something broke the first time around because the desktop beta was able to scan my device for photos without my permission to mount the View as a hard disk. But now I'm having trouble proving this since I haven't been able to break the connection again.
Hello
I have accidently overwritten some photos on my Google Nexus 7 and would love to get them back. I`ve tried various recovery programs on Windows but none of them can read my tablet in MTP mode and I can`t connect it in mass storage mode. I have read that one way is to make a VHD image via RAW of the hard drive onto the pc, where the recovery programs can access it. The trouble is I I think have to root the tablet which i don`t really want to do
1) Is there a way of creating this file without rooting?
2) Does anyone know of a recovery program that uses MTP?
3) If I really HAVE to root, whats the least destructive way of doing this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks but could you explain why you think that? Recovery programs scan your hard disk for sectors marked for deletion, looking for anything that looks like a jpeg file structure. I am hopeful one of these programs could salvage something, and would like to let at least one have a go. Unfortunately I can`t get that far as I can`t get the pc to scan connect to the tablet. I think its because the tablet does not have a USB Mass Storage mode, but can`t be sure. Hoping someone else is a little more optomistic!!!!
Android Data Recovery tool
Have you ever met the problem about losing your files on your phone suddenly? I have once lost my contacts and messages on my Samsung Galaxy S3, and I get all them back with the help of an Android Data Recovery tool.
Hello there.
It seems this problem is quite common, from the fist time I plug the device in MTP mode, no alteration I do on the phone using android will reflect on the PC, for example, if I plug the phone for the first time after a boot and delete a file using android, it will still show on PC, it doesn't matter if I refresh the folder or even change the USB port. I have to reboot the phone to get it working again. It seems that when you plug the phone on the PC it creates a 'cache' that never gets refreshed.
I would like to know if there's a way to refresh such 'cache' or other solution to this, perhaps by allowing the phone to be seen as a fully featured mass storage device. My phone is rooted. Perhaps there's even a patch or something. My device is a Moto G Dual, Android 4.3.
I don't want to use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. I recharge my phone on the PC and I would like to also use the connection to transfer files without having to reboot my phone.
If I rename a file for example (using android), so it shows the old name on the PC, it's impossible to access it, even by accessing the exact path (both the old or new) manually.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.
I have 5 devices here, Asus MeMo Pad ME170c, Lenovo 3500-fl, Archos Gamepad, HTC Desire HD and a cheapo generic chinese AllWinner a13. I cannot seem to get any of them to work on this pc. I cannot access them via adb nor browse the files on them via windows. Both the Asus and Lenovo are running KitKat 4.4.2 and connect up and under adb show as unauthorized, but I never get the authorization prompt on the devices. They show up under My PC where upon trying to access internal storage the window locks up/stops responding and the progress bar at the top fills up and gradually gets slower and slower until it's almost finished but then just carries on forever. I can never access the files. On my other pc I can access the files and get the authorization promp. Both pcs are running the exact same copy of windows 8.1 (installed from the same disk), are up to date and are both running the same usb drivers. So why can't I access the devices from this (my main) pc. The other devices are running older versions of android so I don't need to authorize the computer on these. They periodically show up as 'device' under adb but i cannot access their files as they show up as a removable device and when trying to access them windows says 'no media in the drive'.
I've done everything the same on both machines, the only difference is their hardware so I am wondering if there is anything hardware related that could be causing this problem. Could it be something to do with the motherboard?
The pc I can't access the devices with has an Asrock Z77 Pro4-M motherboard.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be going wrong here?
Cheers
Fraz.
I've been trying to sort this out on and off for months now and had no success. It's such a hassle having to upload and email myself the apk every time I need to test something. Any suggestions?
