[Q] Data Recovery Of GT-I9003 With Broken Screen

I Got A Samsung Galaxy SL I9003 With A Broken Screen. I Had Some Important Files And Pics In The Internal Sd Of The Phone That I Wanna Recover.
On Some Searching I Found A Thread With A Mention Of "adb" . But That Was To No Avail As I Have No Knowledge Of It Whatsover.
And My Tech Level too Is Not Much( Im 16).
The Screen Doesnt Work. The Usb Connectivity Will Not Work As My Phone Is Pattern Locked.
Can Anyone Help Me In Recovering The Data.....Step-By-Step....???

That's not easy. I am not sure, but it may work if you restart into download mode. Get the Android SDK and extract it somewhere convenient. Look for the folder platform-tools - it contains adb.
Open a command prompt in this folder, plug in your phone via USB and type
Code:
adb devices
to see if you're connected (all adb commands see here). If so, get your data with
Code:
adb pull /mnt/sdcard/*.* /your-target-folder/
If you only want specific files type
Code:
adb shell
cd /mnt/sdcard
ls
exit
This will list all files and folders. Use adb pull afterwards to copy the files you need to your pc. If you can't connect to your phone, install KIES and plug in your phone via USB in download mode. This should install the driver - you can uninstall KIES afterwards.

OK, I see. Does the screen display anything despite being broken? Are you sure the phone restarted into download mode? You shouldn't hear the startup sound when it does.
If you are sure that the device is in download mode, there could also be a driver problem. Do you still have KIES installed?

OK, so this is not the problem. USB debugging does have no effect if the phone is in download mode.

Your screenshot shows you did everything correctly - but there should be a device listed (some random number and a name). Please try to start the phone normally and connect it to your PC. Wait for 5 minutes, then start KIES and see if you can save your data with KIES directly. May be worth a try.
If this is not working, connect your phone in download mode again while KIES is running. See if KIES detects the phone. Then close KIES, uninstall it and see if your phone is now detected by adb. If that doesn't work, either, I'm out of ideas :|

Broken screen, need to get data off

OK, a friend of mine's girlfriend's daughter (insert Spaceballs joke) broke the screen on her One S. She wants him to get the data off her phone (likely pictures and whatever else). Does anyone know of a way to do this? The bootloader isn't unlocked, which apparently makes a difference. I've never touched a HTC device before, so I don't know if there are any quirks, but there seem to be.

Few windows programs( Android Manager, Android Commander) will let you access the sd card, and adb commands will do it too if you have usb debugging enable. Look like you are on stock recovery. Is been so long time since I use stock recovery that I do not remember if you can have the "usb mount" in there. When you plug the phone into computer, can you access the sd card?

No, hence the question. No offense, but if it was that easy, I wouldn't have posted this question...
It may not be booting up correctly or something, but without a working screen he can't tell. Or she may have a security code or pattern, which would prevent you from accessing the SD until it's unlocked. But either way, if the phone is booted up, you can't see the SD. And even if the stock recovery has a Mount USB option...well, the screen is busted, so he can't see that option or select it.
The only possibility I can see is if it can be booted into the bootloader, and do an ADB pull for whatever files she wants. But apparently to do an ADB pull (or for ADB to even recognize the device, according to him), the bootloader has to be unlocked first?

Android Manager will let you bypass the security as long as usb debugging is enable. Hard to tell. I had that problem with my friend phone, but he had the usb debugging enable. I wish that I could help you more - I know "that pain" of busted screen. Try that Android Manager. Is free - nothing to loose but time searching for it on xda. I forgot the link.

[Completed] How can i access the data on a phone that has a broken screen and is pattern locked?

Im trying to access the data on a Galaxy S4 on which the screen is not working at all(no backlight and doesn't respond to touch). the data I mainly require is the contacts.db file. what I have tried sofar:
1. tried to access the data via USB but cant access the content due to the lock on the phone.
2. tried to access the data with KIES but once again failed to do so due to the lock on the phone.
3. Downloaded the ADB shell and installed the required USB drivers but cant access the phone, when running the command "adb devices" it says no devices found which I think is because the USB Debugging setting on the phone is not enabled.
4. Also tried to sync with the Google account but unfortunately it was not setup to sync contacts with the Google account.
Some other suggestions were to get another S4 and connect its screen to the the one in question which im sure will work but is there no other way to access the data or to somehow remove the pattern lock from the phone? maybe using another platform to gain full access to the phone or anything?

Hello, and welcome to XDA Assist! You may want to try this tool: [Tool][Windows] Control a device with a broken screen, or possibly use a programme such as Droid Explorer to view your files. If all fails, try and ask here: General discussion Questions and Answers. You will need to register to post.

Hi, I've a tablet which needed to be reset from recovery, at boot it asked to login to google account, I've tried all I have but seams I can't guess the right one. This version of Android don't let me skip this process, I've also tried to cut the network down, and all else I've read in google, there is no escape. I've wiped data and cache from recovery, didn't help. I've tried with ADB to send a "adb shell dpm remove-active-admin eu.sisik.devowner/.DevAdminReceiver" but I'm unautorized.
How can overcome it? How can I get an autorized from ADB of recovery console? There is any apk that can I upload that delete that info?
If not I have to trash the tablet and buy a new one (((
Thank you

It looks that USB-debugging ( AKA ADB ) didn't get properly enabled on the tablet, hence none of ADB commands will ever work. This cannot be changed afterwards.

Im have the same problem as this guy but i didnt really understand how he resolved it. Retrieving used gmail acc on a locked phone

To retrieve Google e-mail address what stored in phone's database-file
/data/system/accounts.db
it's required that
1. you can connect to phone via ADB
2. phone is properly rooted and folder /data/system can get mounted as Read-Write
3. you have a SQLite viewer at hand to read content of mentioned database
