Okay, I really have some files i need to take from my samsung galaxy i9000. its not on the memory card, but on the phone itself.
the screen is broken, so its all muddy and you cant really see anything but when i connect phone usb cable with pc i manage to click the button that said "connect to pc" or something like that. i couldn't really see what it says, but i know i need to do this and after that i can access all my files.
but when i tried today, first i couldnt unlock my phone because i forgot my pattern. and now im stuck to a point where i cant even guess my patern anymore because it only promts that screen to enter gmail user and pw. so what can i do now? all i want to do is access some files on my pc. it does show on pc like "removable disk (F)" but when i try to enter it, it says please insert a disk into removable disk f. now thats what usually happens and after i click connect to pc on my phone, it works. but now i cant do that because my phone is locked and i cant really type my user and password because i cant see much on the screen.
is there any way out? i tried droid screen with adb, but it doesnt recognize it. i also installed samsung kies and it wont recognize it either, i guess usb deburging mode is probably not on.
please help me. thanks

Please help me, I'm unable to connect my X10i to computer any more. It was fine last week but now whenever I plug in the USB, it only charge the phone and there was no mount/connect option poped up on the phone either. Anyone now the solution, I appreciate your help. Thanks
never seen that, hmmm try another port or flash again
it's just weird cause it is detecting it unless there's a way to set it as a diff option instead of mass storage
Well, I tried to flash it but the phone just couldnt connect to my computer or any other computer. Just kinda strange...
my laptop with windows 7 32 bit wont recognize my vibrant on Bionix-v , i tried odin, re flashing bionix, reformatting phone, reinstalling drivers, and kies, kies mini.
still nothing!!!!!. i still get "usb no recognized"
im lost i dont know what could be wrong.
any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance
little more info....please
what are you trying to do? Is your phone stuck in a boot cycle? Is it soft-bricked? Just trying to mount to computer? Not sure what to say until i get more answers....thanks!
the phone works fine but i cant mount the usb storage i keep getting "usb device not recognized" i have every single driver i can find, still no luck
i forgot to mention that even in usb debugging, download mode it does the same thing. i cant connect it to odin or AIO tool box it gives me the same messege.
plus i dont know how to tell if the phone is soft bricked.
Please help i use my phone for work i need it to upload files to my pc
Use bluetooth or wireless until you figure it out. Also you could put it on your external sd and transfer it.
I cant even connect the external sd card, i dont know whats wrong
Something like this happened to me. Try turning debugging off

Hi all,
I have a really weird problem im hoping someone can help me with.
I cant seem to get my S2 detected in windows when connected via USB. It charges no problems but I cannot see the storage on the phone.
However the phone is deteced in download mode OK so I can use odin to flash firmware if needed. I have tried gonig back to stock image but still makes no difference. Done all the driver installs / uninstalls, reboot of PC and phone etc, but nothing seems to make a difference, I just can see the storage under windows.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Go 2 Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Device Manager, then plug in a cable and watch for changes to the hardware list. If your phone appears in the list, then all should be ok.
do you mean when the phone is in normal mode or download mode? I cant see the phone listed in device manager when in normal mode.
When i try to put the phone in mass storage mode via the USB utilities in the setting, I get the prompt to connect a USB cable, however, when i do connect it, the pop up fails to disappear and the PC doesnt detect

Probably it's a Windows fault. Try on another computer, but if the problem persists, then it's a phone issue.
yeap, tried it on more than one machine. One one machine it would detect in normal or download mode, but on another machine it detects in download mode but not normal mode. i dont understand how it can transfer data while in download mode as it must detect some sort of storage???

Try turning off 'Usb Debugging' if ticked.
tried that too. when selecting USB mass storage, it prompts that usb debugging will be switched off
Reinstall Windows. This is the best solution.
Hi,
So on mothers day I smashed my phone.. anyways, upon turning the phone on I cant see the screen, and the touch functions are broken.
I connected the phone to the pc, but it wont show up, I think I have to unlock the phone in order for my pc to access the contents of my phone. Is there anything I can do? I don't have a pin or screen lock, just the slider. My phone IS rooted, and I'm sure I can run adb, but I don't know what commands to do. If anyone can help that would be awesome, I'm open to ideas.
CWM Mounting?
One thing you can attempt is, boot into recovery and mount your device as USB drive.
If you run CWM, you will find this in Mounts and Storage. If you mount as USB drive, you can access the SD card...

Hi everyone, i got a pain in the ass problem that i cannot fix. I've been looking for 3 days in a huge labyrinth of forums before posting this.
The screen of my phone got broken and half of it doesnt respond, and i cant unlock the pattern screen because part of it is on the damaged part. I dont want to reset the phone, just try to skip the pattern screen or use it remotely on a PC, and seems very hard to achieve.
The phone is from a low-cost brand i bought in Mexico, the model is Vios 502015. The android version is 4.4.2. I think it is not root, but right now i dont know how to check it.
I tried using the device manager of Google to block the phone and change the pattern to a password that i can type with the unbroken side of the screen, but the phone has the wifi off and no sim because i lost it and till a couple of days i wont have another. Also tried to put a friend's sim in the phone for if the conection was on by magic or something like that. Didnt work, anyway new sim doesnt work.
I tried connecting a mouse with OTG and doesnt work either. It has not enabled the USB debugging mode and I ve been looking these days how to enable that option wihtout using the screen but it seems imposible.
When i connect the phone to the pc is only available the mass storage option. Also tried with adb commands but doesnt recognize any device using "adb devices".
But in recovery mode, if i select the option "install update from ADB" it does recognize it with the command "adb devices". The status of the device is sideload.
If i try the command to disable the pattern lock it returns error:closed. And also try to find the solution to this error, but nothing seems to work. Tried "adb usb", "adb kill-server" and "adb start-server". Nothing.
I dont know what else to do. Im starting to feel ill, haha.
So the question it would be: what can i do to skip the lock or a way to tun on the wifi mode or... i dont know, please help!!
Thanks to all of you for your time
Cheers!

Edit: i just noticed! i can write the pattern if i find a way to turn the screen upside down, any ideas?
FIXED: i used a program called gsm aladdin. I can use the phone again!
