[Q] please help me recover files off of a broken screen/digit. galaxy s vibrant

Okay well my screen and digitizer are broken. I'm pretty sure I left usb debugging mode always on. I tried downloading kies and plugging it in, but got a connection error saying that the device wasn't in kies mode so it couldn't recognize it.
Also, the internal sd is not visible from my computer, although the computer does play the sound recognizing it being plugged in and trying to download the drivers. Indicating that the sd isn't mounted for access through the computer.
So my problem is, how can I possibly get any internal sd data at this point? I was thinking maybe adb but I'm clueless as to how I would go about doing that. Not to mention, I'm not even sure if adb is the solution I'm looking for...if there is one. Would adb still work even since the computer isn't recognizing it in "my computer"?
My phone is rooted and running some old rom that I don't remember. I had clockwork and voodoo if that even matters.
I know sorry for being a noob. Any help is appreciated

sorry for the double post, but this is a large active forum. 200 views and no answers? I know somebody on here knows the answer to my problem. Tell me if I should post in a different section...
I'm recycling my phone and really want my data that's on the sd and then wipe it after.

Download drivers to Pc. Then see if it can connect. Also I assuming your phone uses Odin. Try putting phone in download mode

You will have to try and get your PC to see your device. If you can't then you are out of luck. This is the big problem with only having internal storage and no SD card.

thanks for the replies. Okay so I have the drivers installed. I installed kies and tried connecting that way but it wouldn't connect saying that the phone wasn't in kies mode (and I have no way of doing that with the broken screen).
I tried setting up adb and droid explorer. Droid explorer said my phone had around 300kb of data on it. The sd card folder was a "link" with a small data size. None of the folders or files were found when clicked on in droid explorer.
Any options at this point?

Got the same problem as you did, just with a samsung galaxy s3, and I have tried all the things listed in this thread, with no luck. Did you find a solution to this?

[Q] [HELP] All my media (photos,videos) except rintones are deleted!

Hi Guys,
I'm utterly confused as to how can (only) all my photos and videos be selectively deleted from my phone!
From both my internal sdcard and external sdcard, only my pictures (of any format and in any folder) and the videos have been deleted!
I had connected my phone to my laptop in the MTP mode. I was trying to create a folder on my external sdcard. I tried to rename that folder to 'Books' but in-spite of my repeated tries it was still staying as 'New Folder'.
So I disconnected my phone and now connected it in 'USB storage' mode. This time I could see the 'New Folder' and rename it and copy the stuff I wanted to copy.
But suddenly I realised that the free space on my phone had increased!! I didn't know how then and I left But later in the night when I decided to change my wallpaper, I found out what had befallen me. But still clueless how and why this has transpired! :crying:
I'm running Avatar ROM 2.8b and Butter Kernel 1.3 stable.
Thanks and regards,
Nakul

My classmate once had such an issue on another phone with stock GB. It might be a very rare issue, but it seems to happen sometimes.

Hey Adam,
Any idea if I can recover them by some means? May be some software you're aware of?

Connect your phone in UMS mode to PC and try Recuva file recovery software. I have used it many times and am very satisfied with it.

[Q][Urgent] "Zeus Flash Device" > hardbrick?

Excuse me in advance, for some reason XDA won't save it when I put an enter in this message, it pasted everything into one big text. It's hard and annoying to read. I'm sorry!
Edit: fixed it by typing HTML codes
A few weeks ago I ordered a (micro) SD-card in China, it arrived two days ago.
I backed up the internal storage and external SD from my phone, then replaced the ext-sd with the new Chinese 32gb card, and switched the internal and external memory as per @TeamMex 's thread.
(Of course using the CM10 mountpoints as I was on the PureCyanogenmod+ ROM).
Then I tried to restore my apps with TitaniumBackup, but I found out that the apps now installed on the SD (the 32gb Chinese card that is mounted as internal storage) kept disappearing after a reboot, having me to restore them again.
This also happened most of the time with reinstalling via playstore, and then restoring the data via TiBu.
I figured it might be a disk issue, so I tried fixing the sdcard with windows disk repair, and even linux' "dosfsck", but nothing really happened and the card kept acting strange.
So I was trying to correctly format it via the phone itself, but then it didn't mount anymore. I decided to pull out the card and restore it via a card-reader, hoping that would finally work, so I pulled the battery out of my phone, and pulled the card out.
And now here it comes: I tried to turn on my phone, but it didn't do anything, no led, no screen, no vibration.
I decided to plug it to my PC to see if it did anything, but the phone itself did nothing.
Yet, although I didn't click anything on the phone, the PC started to install drivers, later they turned out to be called "ZEUS flash device" drivers.
As far as I found on google up till now, I've read that means I probably have a hard brick.
Is there any other reason for my phone to list the "ZEUS flash device" drivers or not?
Anyway to restore my phone from here, as it still installs drivers to my PC, meaning there must be some tool that can flash something to it, or is it dead?
I hope someone can help me or explain more of my situation.
Phone: Sony Xperia Tipo, ST21i
ROM: PureCyanogenmod+
PC OS: Windows 7 & Ubuntu 12.10 dual-boot
Thanks in advance,
Regards, Drago

uhmm try using other SD card and other usb port,
maybe ur sd card was damaged since you sent it
flashtools is used to repair the phone, if that does not work you will have to go to a technician to use medussa box
cheers.

either medusa or setool box, setool also has the bootloader specifically for this qualcomm chipset, so you can reflash if you have access to a setool box.

[need help] Problem with bootloop and internal storage

Hey guys,
I want to repair the i9003 for a friend and I'm a little bit confused o.0
I own a i9001 so I'm familiar with Odin and that stuff.
He gave me the device which only had access to the Download Mode. So I flashed a Stock ROM (MODEM, CODE, CSC, ...). It ended in bootloop and previous appeared note in recovery that it wasn't able a access to the sd card anyway ("unable to write to ums lunfile" and can't mount).
I flashed various Stock ROMs but everytime the same conclusion (bootloop). I've already tried to format/(un)mount sdcard through CWM but no chance.
Can anyone help? I read about a method where you have to open the device and connect something to the mainboard but it isn't my device, so I wouldn't do it.
Need help

if phone is rooted go this dir mnt/sdcard/(files)
u can do this with wondershare mobile go program (wondershare mobile go is a software that allow u to manage phone file edit or install app or read massage that nice):cyclops:
so.. mnt/sdcard(files) .export those files with wondershare mobile go from that toolbar .
see can u do this or u will get error during export(beware after export import it and make backup) ?or check it maybe these files are deleted and sdcard folder is empty like my problem.
all my regret is why i didnt backup from that.when i bought it first day.
anyway i have same problem .phone doesnt recognize int/ex sd card and unavailable keep goin thread to find .wont fix with flash by odin at all .
tell me about those files try find them maybe they are corrupted .like mine.i think must take it from other i9003 that hasn't sd card problem.when u find plz upload cuz i need too
and it this case problem will fix with a simple copy paste and if not u dont lose nothin

I can't do that. When I type "diskpart" in cmd.exe and "list disk" there will be no device found (only the hard drive in the computer).
But the PC recognize a device connected to it because in the taskbar the icon for a connected USB drive is shown.
In short:
- device doesn't boot normally (bootloop at logo)
- in stock recovery and CWM there is no internal sdcard shown ("E: can't mount sdcard")
- windows recognize a device but has no access to it
Is it possible to use adb sideload anyway on the i9003 or anything else where I can use adb.exe? I don't know if adb works in Download Mode ... does it?
I tried this CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351056 and an another one with green letters.
The first is quite outdated (packed in 31.01.2012).
Is there a newer one?

Here are photos what the Recovery (stock) says after Odin flash (stock firmare)

i had exact same paroblem
do this maybe work (worked for me) .
this problem occurred when i used 16 gb toshiba as ex sd card (doesnt matter brand) after flash sd card and format it by pc that said ex sd remove unexpecteldy and turned off and whole battery charge was over. then i changed ex sd with my other phone and it work with no problem and when i replaced again 16 gb toshiba in phone ,again problem.
but after i format internal storage by phone from setting/phone storage . phone couldnt mount int sd till now.
so i inserted new ex sd and flashed whole rom with odin (MODEM, CODE, CSC, ...) phone started but without int storage i found out sd card directory is different and wont fix with flash STOCK ROM .but i doubt it for Custom ROM.
then i took ex sd card out from phone and turn it on again phone didnt boot up and was hang on samsung logo (same problem with 16 gb toshiba).then put that new ex sd card in and phone was boot up with no problem but int storage didnt come back..
so try with new ex sd and try flash rom (MODEM, CODE, CSC, ...) with odin then it will boot up.

and if ur int sd card come back again it will solve E:cant mount sdcard .first do two prior steps . for bring back internal sd again i think we need >>mnt/sdcard/(files) and copy paste those files in that location from other i9003 phone to our devices IMO cuz i tried many method they are useless. upper 60% im sure those files will revive int sd

I already solved it by destroying the internal memory on board and force install the stock ROM on an external sdcard. I successfully installed CM11 and it works except camera and downloads ^^

hi, have anyone found solution on this issue?
i am also facing same issue....

Hi Friend,
I have the same problem. flashing Stock, Kernel , custom rom. Nothing make my phone successfully boot up.
Can you help me how exactly you did this. It might give a life for my friends phone too...

Remove or replace microSDCard.
Perform a clean flash with ddlf2 or original firmware.
And let us know how it went.
Also i see people saying this mistake several times...
Internal SDCard or SDCard stands for phone storage.
Emmc/External Storage/ External SDCard Stands for the microSDCard.
Noting that custom roms usually change the names.
With a custom rom the microSDCard is called emmc inside the system.
Please press "Thank" button if it helped you.

Phone hangs up during file-copying

I am having a weird problem with my phone, it's Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100. When I try to copy a bit large file to my storage, the phone hangs up in the middle of the process.
I have been using Cyanogenmod for a long time, I never faced this problem. But it started appearing few months ago. I have also tried some other roms, they give me the same problem. I am giving a logcat, hope that helps

conect phone as mass storage instead of MTP

Same thing happens both for USB Mass Storage and Media Storage. In Mass Storage mode phone hangs up and the screen blacks out, and in Media Storage mode phone disconnects and after sometimes may automatically connect again.

Oh. I thought you were talking about Android's format something like EXT4, anyways, the format is correct. It's FAT 32. I am going to check it in another PC and let you know if that's my phone or USB ports problem.

I am having the same problem. Currently on resurrection ROM, FAT32 SD card (without problems, did a chkdsk on it and works fine in Windows). I can start to copy MTP / mass storage mode, but after a while the phone freezes. I guess the rom is also CM based..
