Hi all,
Last weekend I started thinking about backing up my phone as I did not want to lose the data on there. Ofcourse I forgot to do it and today I dropped my phone so the screen is not working anymore... sigh. The device still functions because I just received a call while typing this :fingers-crossed:.
When I plug it in, it's recognized as a portable device (see attachment). However, I'm not able to access the storage or the SD-card.
What did I try sofar:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/backup-phone-broken-screen-t1348895
<edit> When trying the above, I receive an error message that no USB device was found.
Secondly, I have CWM installed but don't know which version as it's installed 2 years ago. I've read that I could blindely try to open the "Mount storage" option but well, no clue which option that would be.</edit>
I think the problem is that I need to enable the USB access to the storage. Any idea how I can bypass this?
Thanks in advance all!
Greets,
Phil
Ok, I've now found a thread on the forum about using ADB and booting in recovery mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2395047&page=2
Will try that in the meanwhile.
Tips still welcome!
Thanks again .
Think it is in recovery mode but ADB does not find it.
Hi,
Adb will only work if you have usb debugging enabled in developer options.
As far as solving your issue, you will need to ask in your device section for help...
Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 > Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Simply plugging into your pc should allow you to see your files. But if it won't for some reason, and adb won't work...not sure what other options there are...also, adb works in the regular system...only works in recovery if your custom recovery supports it...and yes, you need to enable the mode in recovery. Hard when you can't see the screen.
Good luck!
Thanks for your reply. Sorry for posting the thread in the wrong topic.
When I plug in the S2, I will only see the portable media player but not the files. I tried several times to get it into recovery yesterday but without succes.
What about using a cable from mini usb to HDMI? Will it work when I just connect it to my TV?
My last option is to just replace the display but they are quite expensive going from 65-100 euro's..
Tips still welcome, thanks again !
superuser su update stuck phone in recovery mode perm. wiped phone...os went with. tried following a couple of instructions but they all go on the assumption computer has drivers and none of the driver install options seem to work when getting new one on computer. have to add device every time, can not get computer to recognize phone as more than "android" unless in recovery.i can not enable usb debugging as no os on phone so no mtp drivers for phone so no usb recog. the instructions ive found thus far do not seem to apply to my situation. ive downloaded android studio and it doesnt seem to be able to help. nothing ive downloaded shows as a driver that can be installed manually. im assuming i cant do anything until i get a working driver on the computer so i guess this is the first thing i need help with. windows 7, nexus 4 16 gig. there is nothing in file manager on phone in recovery. as far as i can tell i now own a brick. i do do seem to have stock recovery (no android with ! shows up) just team win screen.
Hi,
I suggest you ask the experts who own your device for help with this,

Good luck!
I'm completely hopeless, and all I can count on are good people from XDA to help me.
I bought a new Samsung Galaxy S6, T-Mobile version [G920F], running Android 5.1.
I used this tutorial:
http://www.droidviews.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s6-and-install-twrp-recovery-all-models/
I enabled USB Debugging, downloaded latest Samsung USB drivers.
First I successfully installed TWRP 2.8.7.1, and meanwhile copied the SuperSU.zip to my device.
I had successfully entered TWRP, went to Install, and selected teh SuperSU file. It said it was done, so I went ahead and restarted my device.
Immediately, I noticed that the device was stuck on the boot logo (Galaxy S6 + Powered by Android screen).
And for some reason, when I connect the device with USB to mc PC, Windows says it's "damaged or undetected", something of that sort.
Luckily, I can still detect it in ODIN.
I might mention that I can still enter TWRP & Download Mode from the Bootloop.
I'll give any more information I can, just tell me if there is any hope for me.
Thank you so much.
I have a rooted S7 with TWRP recovery on it and i recently deleted my OS by accident as i was just trying to reset my phone to factory settings. Now the only thing i can do is boot into recovery mode and download mode, or i can just get stuck at a boot loop.
I have googled and googled and seen so many ways to try and fix this issue but nothing has worked for me. Heres a list of the issues i have and what i've tried so far. [Using Windows 10]
Installing Odin (3.12.3) and stock Samsung firmware from here.
Installing the necessary USB drivers from here.
My PC wont recognize my samsung device in either modes (recovery/download) and Odin wont recognize my phone either, as well as i cant find anything under "Device Manager".
Tried using ADB to transfer files to my S7 but when i activate ADB in recovery mode it just loads for a couple of seconds until it displays an error with no explanation.
I even tried downloading ADB drivers and necessary tools i got from this guide.
I also tried wiping Dalvik cache and cache.
I have tried three different USB cables on all available USB slots on my desktop PC and the one USB slot in my Surface and nothing works.
I have tried rooting previous phones but I'm still new to this rooting thing and there's a lot i don*t understand. Perhaps i downloaded the wrong USB drivers, or maybe I'm just unlucky. I just really need some help to understand how to fix this. If it can't be fixed is it possible to remove all traces of rooting on my phone?
The phone needs to be in Download Mode to use ODIN
The only sign it is connected is a COM port lit up at the top of the ODIN window
Add the .MD5 ROM to AP and hit start
Hi guys, after many tries, many googling and youtube research, I dicided to share my problem with our community
1. At sunday, my galaxy tab started to restart continuously, It was recharging and I took some time to see.
2. I tried to activate USB DEBUGGING but when It Restarts, it's usb debugging is disabled again.
3. I'm using Stock Rom Again...was;
4.Using Stock Recovery.
5. Tried to install many others recovery's with odin and it seems to be ok but after a restart, its all back to stock recover.
6. Tried to install Stock FW again by Odin and its stuck about 50% FAIL
7. Tried to install CFW and Other Roms by SD Card but it shows a messege "Failed to check Signature" aborting... maybe because of stock recover.
8. Not rooted, usb debugging DISABLE
9 Tried to activate USB Debugging by odin, installing a patch, without success.
10 Samsung KIES does not recognize it in Download Mode.
11. I have samsung drivers installed.
one more information, when I start in recovery Mode, it shows first an android pic and a messege NO COMMAND, then proceeds to RECOVERY(STOCK).
What Can I do?? I Did Everything I can find on Internet. Is there a phisical problem??
Best Regards!!
Seems like a similar issue like mine. Check my post about behavior of my tab 2 7" (P3100) at https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/help/p3100-16gb-bricked-emmc-bug-to-t3707134
If you have symptoms similar to mine or any mentioned in the links in the post, then it seems you have a faulty emmc (internal memory).
The only solution i get to hear up till now is either to get motherboard replaced from service center or get emmc replaced from repair shop or get it jtag'ed.
Other solutions, which would avoid jtag or other service, like dual booting from SD card existed here in xda for p3100 but having stuck in stock recovery brought limitations.
If possible share all things you tried and solution if you found any.

Tks for the answer, I guess we have the same problem, by the way, I already read your topic (lol), Surelly I'm gonna find some technical assistance , the hard thing is to find these kind of stuff, but let's see. I'm gonna share any solution, see ya!
If you install a custom recovery and then reboot to system, it will automatically install the stock recovery again unless you are rooted. To avoid this uncheck the "reboot system when finished" box in odin and after installing the recovery boot directly into it.
Stock recovery is only for installing official updates, not for custom roms. You need a custom recovery for that.

Thanks, but we I tried this too. The issue is possibly our emmc is gone into permanant write protection state as far as i have studied. i tried unchecking the "reboot system when finished" box and even pulling battery after getting odin status as success for recovery as suggested in some threads but nothing helped.
Even if i do a factory reset from recovery all data would remain as is, nothing deleted!
@blankfile99 i agree its hard to find stuff, for me jtag service is more than 500kms from my place!
I am searching for any possibility to boot from external sd card. The thing existed for p3100 (one mentioned here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1866675 which allows sd boot) and the other is the blackhawk NEXT https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285366 but this is not suitable for our case where no modifications in emmc contents are possible. Devs were able to carry out sd boot for nook color tab .
But again I am stuck trying the dual boot mentioned above at how to flash the sd boot build rom zip file to sd card since stock recovery gives signature verification failure....
Great struggle to keep the tab working...

I had the same issue - here is what I did (I'm writing this as much for me later on, as for you!). This should be fine for your device - but of course, the usual "no guarantees" applies.....
I assume you have downloaded the appropriate files ?
- I used philz_touch_6.57.8-p5100.tar.md5 (google it)
- Odin3 v1.85
1) Install / Start Odin on computer
2) Start device in download mode For my P5100 - I held down power and the UP volume button.
3) Connect USB cable to computer. In ODIN, Click PDA and select the downloaded philz_touch_6.57.8-p5100.tar.md5 (or whatever you're going to use).
4) in ODIN - UNTICK "Auto- Reboot" and Re-Partition is unticked - leave Reset Time ticked.
5) Click start. you should get the "PASS" All threads completed.
6) Disconnect USB cable
7) - important bit - Press and hold down POWER and Volume DOWN together at same time for about 15 seconds. This hopefully will restart into PhilZ mod.
Let me know how it goes.
I have decided to install custom rom on my Samsung tab 2. but it's not connecting with my laptop(not recognized).I think there's a driver problem because in device manager It is showing "Unknown USB DEVICE". Can anyone please send me the Samsung tab 2 gt p5110 driver software or any folders which are use to connect. (I have tried many times but I can't find a good solution )
@Sura 102005
Have you tried reading and following this - also read the older threads
You may need to install Samsung kies
You should also try with a newer / different cable as that could be the issue. I had this same problem and when I swapped to newer cable it solved the issue. Just try different things.

Hi clappertrap, Thank you for your kindness. I have tried Samsung Kies but I haven't tried a different cable I have order for OTG cable and USB male-male cable. I think this will work.
