Hi Guys,
The digitizer of my Acer Liquid has been broken (black screen):crying: but the phone is still working, does someone know how to access the internal sdcard via adb so i can copy my personal data from it?
Thank you for your assistance
Can't you acces as external usb storage?? if the phone boots it should be able to connect to a computer, doesn't it?

Can't you just use adb shell to see what you need and use adb pull to get everything. Somewhat tedious, but unless you can do mass storage or have another way set up, I don't see how. Although I'm not an expert
in fact i have to confirm the usb command prompt as seen in the attachement and this is not easy to do with a black screen

I am not familiar with adb commands, also i don't know if the device should be in recovery mode to be able to communicate with adb.

I have a broken (completely black) screen on my captivate Im trying to back up all my files from the INTERNAL memory. I can't see the screen so obviously I can't mount the phone to view the files on my PC. I have gotten 'pull /system/ /local/' to work however when I try something like 'pull /data/ /local/' it says "pull: building file list... 0 files pulled. 0 files skipped."
Basically, how do I use ADB to get all of my files to my computer? Help is certainly appreciated. After this I will probably reset the phone and then maybe sell it as is. Not too sure.
Question: Do u happen to have any recent clockwork backup and/or tibu backups on ur phone? If either is present u could directly navigate to those folders (in adb) and pull the files u want.
Alternate option: U cud put in an external sd card, and copy the files from internal sd to external sd if u are not comfortable with the pull commands.

I do not have any type of backups apps or anything like that on the phone.
I have an external sd card however Im not sure how thats different than using adb to copy the files from the internal memory to my computer. I am fine with using pull but maybe im using the wrong directory name for my personal files?
Have you tried qtadb or droidexplorer. Would be easier imo.

That requires a rooted phone right? My phone is currently not rooted and I don't know if I would want to. How come I cant just use the adb pull command on the folder with my data in it?
edit - i might have found a command that works, i will update when finished.
ok this worked for me: 'adb pull / d:\backup\'
thanks everyone for your help.
Yeah. Assumed you were rooted sorry. Just thought that way you could see everything and point and click.
So I have a similar situation to this only I have a phone that isnt rooted and usb debugging isnt enabled. However I know the phone boots on, and I can also get into recovery mode where I am able to ADB to get a basic shell, and see the device but that is about it. I feel that if I could enable usb debugging thru recovery mode I might be able to mount the /sdcard and then pull files from there. anyone got any ideas if I could get a reboot with usb debugging enabled from recovery or maybe just a command that I could use in shell via recovery?? Please Please lol. I have a strong feeling i might have hit a wall.

Ok I wiped my internal memory on my htc one s , I can boot into TWRP ive tried to enable adb sideload mode but keep getting a FAILED message in red when i try to swype to activate sideload mode , ANY THOUGHTS?????? Im using twrp v.2.5.0.0
Can you adb push to your phone? I've just been where you are, side load didn't work. Had to use different pc to ensure adb was working correctly. After that pushing files to the sd card was easy. Do you currently have a working rom on the phone?

FIRST: calm down please
Which version of CWM is installed? You can mount USB storage in the recovery and simply copy a rom to your sdcrad as it will be handled as usb mass storage. In case you can't mount storage --> we'll get it working another way
WHY you use adb to copy files? Mass storage is even more easy + safe

Device must connected to pc... If it does not mount try restarting the recovery and do again. Close all adb instances on your computer.

Hey there friendly devs,
I have found myself in quite a conundrum:
http://imgur.com/h7SqfXT
My phone looks like this^^
It is rooted, has TWRP on it, I can plug it in, the LED lights up, I can click the buttons, but it doesn't appear mounted on my computer. As the screen is completely broken, I can't change the mounting options on the phone.
Is there any way I can get the data off the internal SD card?
Without being able to see what you're doing I don't see how you'd be able to retrieve anything from the device.

Is there any way to manually take the internal card out? Or access fastboot or adb without clicking anything on the screen?
Fastboot won't be any help. But if by chance you have no screen security setup, and you have usb debugging already enabled in Developer Options you could use adb commands to copy data from the device.

Try adb pulling internal sd. Not sure if it'd work but hey, worth a shot

Hello !!
Google just brutally pulled out USB Mass Storage, not a good thing for users who don't root their phone. As you all know that MTP (Media transfer Protocol) is slow and frustrating and neither USB Mass Storage works on Nexus 5 so is there any way to transfer files at "HIGHEST POSSIBLE SPEED" between Nexus and PC ??
I'm tired of hunting, some help would be great Sagar Khanapurkar
Thank you )

They didn't just "brutally pull out" mass storage at all. Mass storage can still be used if you have an actual sdcard.
The problem is in fact that if you use the fuse file system to share /sdcard data space, which is the only method that works well, mass storage would be impossible.
Unfortunately this means that we're stuck with MTP and we all share the same issues. It needs vast improvement. This is a bi-product of using fuse unfortunately. You can't mount usb ass storage a fuse /sdcard because its on the /data partition and you cannot rip the data partition out whilst its in use, which is what mass storage would require
You have 2 options. Adb push / pull (see thread available via my signature) or using WiFi to transfer.
There are loads of apps that are available to do transfer over the network. Personally I just use a file explorer. Fastest? Adb because its wired but its not the simplest

I'll go with adb push / pull !! since it's the fastest available source.

Have a look at my thread "adb and fastboot. What is it?" Which you can get yo via the sticky thread on my signature.
I've not used it unrooted so I can't say if /data/media/0 works or if /sdcard is better. But please let me know how you get on.

Can't I just pull /internal storage (( I know adb will be having different parameters)), but what I want to do is pull each and every single file which is on my 32 GB Nexus, I don't want system files, all I want is my files... ?

Your files are on /sdcard which mounts on /data/media/0
Not really sure what you're asking. I haven't mentioned system files, which you wouldnt be able to access without root anyway.

Yeah, OP, just `adb pull /sdcard/ <dest folder>`.
