I have a broken android phone, basically cracked screen. Any possible where to retrieve all sms from it? Obviously its stored on internal memory. It was using froyo rom.
Are you rooted? If you are download Titanium Backup and backup the Dialer Storage app. That apps holds your SMS' and APN info. Most likely will show up green and say SMS at the beginning of the name of the app.

Dude, the screen is cracked like I said, my mistake for not being clear....its cracked enough, there is no display at all

If you have cwm recovery, use button combo to put it in recovery.
Use adb and connect to it and you can copy everything to your computer.
I don't know what adb is and how to use it, but I would truly appreciate steps, I'm a quick learner. The screen is destroyed, no display at all.

Try z4root. Click it for more info on it... thread is kinda old, but I still think it works for your phone even know its not posted.

does z4root also work on HTC devices?
It does not work with baseband dl17 which is what my phone is I cannot use z4root
I think you have to use adb. But try http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/wiki/index.php/Samsung_Continuum under "IF ALL ELSE FAILS" inside the terminal.
I dont have a pc is there anyway without ?
I know. Have you tried entering those commands in the terminal tho? But have to edit them a little. Do you know how to use Linux commands ( cp, chmod, ls, cd, ./, etc)?

I found less detailed guide on rootzwiki created by birdman, but i decided to repost it here in more detail.
* Disclaimer: I do not take any responsibility for anything you do to your phone, whether be brick, break, or somehow mess it up.
Requirements
1. You must have the sdk installed and you are able to access, and use adb and fastboot.
2. You must have debugging enabled on your Nexus 7.
3. Download Su here (Chainfire's thread for supersu) (Thanks Eric_Eric_Eric)
4. Download CWM here. Scroll down to Nexus 7 and choose whether touch or regular.
Pre-Steps
To make this easier, you should put the su zip on the sdcard for later.
1. In terminal, cd to the directory you have your sdk in. Then cd into platform-tools.
2. Type adb push path-to-zip/JB-SuperSU.zip /sdcard
Unlocking Your Nexus 7
To unlock your device
1. cd to platform-tools
2. Reboot to the bootloader - adb reboot bootloader
3. Unlock your device* -
fastboot oem unlock *You will have to accept and erase all the user data on the tablet.
*You must run this as sudo in Linux
Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery
(You're still inside the bootloader)
4. Flash CWM -
fastboot flash recovery path-to-img/CWM-grouper-recovery.img5. Make CWM Permanent -
1. Boot into recovery2. Go to Mounts and Storage3. Mount /System4. Type in Terminal*adb shell
cd /system
mv recovery-from-boot.p recovery-from-boot.bak
If your having trouble gaining shell, try "adb kill-server" then "abd start-server". Couple of my friends had this problem, and this should hopefully fix it.
* For some people, it has been reported that you don't have to replace recovery-from-boot.bak. The flash is enough to make the recovery stick.
Flash Su
1. Go back by pressing power button2. Install the zip in the sdcard
Reboot and your device is now rooted!!
For anybody having trouble trying to use fastboot and come up with a no-permissions error or adb ????????? problem, I created a guide to fix the problem here: [GUIDE]Fix Fastboot and USB

Not to be a jackass or anything, but this tablet has no SD Card slot...might that require slightly different steps than what you outlined?

What he wrote about pushing SU to /sdcard is correct. I have a Transformer Prime and ASUS called the internal storage /sdcard, which is a little counter intuitive. I presume the same situation exists with the Nexus 7.

Umm, this no way to do this without adb. I'm working on a one click script which i will be posting later. I am currently in IO Sessions and should have it in the next couple of days.
But an answer, again, no, there isn't. You need to download the sdk, and install the tools. then just cd to platform-tools, and use adb like i said. If your in windows, use adb.exe then the arguments, but if your in linux, just use ./adb. Same thing with fastboot.

I'm new to the tablet, so this maybe a silly question, but is it possible to use 4ext for recovery instead of CWM? I like the 4ext a lot more for my HTC Glacier.

Ok it gets a little techy here, make sure to follow all directions carefully. It says you can access adb via recovery, don't go that way since "recovery" on the LG mytouch is simply a factory reset. This will actually replace that stock recovery with more extensive options and the ability to flash custom ROMs (cm9). I suggest using adb while fully booted up.

No problem, bro, that's what I made this thread for. Anyway, thanks for reporting back!
I couldn't remember my unlock pattern. Tried flashing the .zip on my HTC Evo 4G LTE running Dirty Unicorn (based off Paranoid Android) but it didn't work (I'm Rooted, unlocked, S-Off with TWRP installed).
I was able to get in using my Google account after all though. The "forgot password" button didn't show before but it did after I rebooted and tried the pattern unsuccessfully 5 times. It showed up then (maybe the button stops showing AFTER 5 unsuccessful attempts until you reboot?).

Hey folks!
Assuming you forgot the Pattern/Password that you use to secure your phone. Of course,
you could get in using your Gmail account Password...
But what if you don have an account or you forgot the password to that, too???
Here are two possibilities:
.
.
.
B. For everyone without a recovery version installed:
What you need:
-A computer running a Linux distro (Ubuntu, Mint, etc.) NOTE: This Guide was written for MINT 14, but it should work on other distros, too.
-a USB cable to connect your phone to the PC
-adb installed (look at quick tutorial below)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Connect you (turned on) Phone to the Computer via USB.
2. Open a terminal window.
3. Type
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
cd data/system
rm *.key
4. Done!
Now you just have to reboot.
NOTE: The Pattern lock will probably still show up, but you can type in anything you want, as it will accept anything!
Please test this on every Android OS, as I have only tested it on GB so far, but, theoretically, it should work on any Android Version & ROM.
I know there are similar threads on xda, but this is the first that offers a tutorial for getting past almost all locks (Password, PIN, Pattern) instead of only he Pattern, and, of course, the first to offer a flashable zip.

I can confirm that i've tested this (Method B), using ADB in Windows and it worked on my Xperia T (Jellybean, firmware 9.1.A.1.141). Couple of points 'USB debugging' has to be enabled on the phone, had to add a 'su' command before the deletion line.
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
cd data/system
[B]su[/B]
rm *.key

for option B the manual is incomplete, missing add that you need to have previously active USB debugging option, if you had not activated, it will not work.
