When I run adb server my phone shows up fine and I am able to push whatever I want onto my phone. However, and this is what I don't understand, if I try to do an adb pull, nothing will happen and it takes the device offline and the only way to bring it back is to kill the server, uncheck then recheck the USB Debugging Enabled option in Settings. For the ADB problems I've tried reinstalling samsung drivers but I still have the same thing happen. I think the samsung drivers are fine since I can do adb pushes all day long. It's just pulling that messes it up.
Any suggestions?
Bump for Monday morning east coast people waking up.
Bump cause im desperate. Anyone seen this before? Only pulls dont work. I can push all day long

I work at a major electronics store as a 2nd job and the majority of people there own EVO's so I end up rooting multiple per week. Its become so often that Ive downloaded all the tools, guides, roms, add-ons, and themes on my laptop to make life easier on me. So far every one of them has gone flawlessly, until last night.
All drivers are loaded and all cables etc work fine. I loaded a coworkers last night and for some reason ADB refuses to see his EVO. Typing "adb devices" returns an empty result and no commands work stating "no devices found". I checked his software version and its the 3.29.651.5 version that Ive rooted dozens of times before. I load my phone on my system and it shows up fine, I loaded another unrooted evo on my system and again it shows up fine. His is the only one that wont load. USB debugging is on and its set to charge only. The only difference with his phone is it was set to htc sync by default when plugged into a pc but I manually selected charge only.
Has anyone seen this before or know how to resolve it?
And before anyone asks, no I dont charge anyone anything to do this. I do it to show people what you guys here are capable of doing. 2 nights ago I rooted a sprint sales rep from my local store after he saw mine when my wife got her new phone. He called me yesterday begging me to not do anyone elses there because the whole store was going nuts over his phone wanting to know how the hell he did it and he was loving rubbing it in.
My phone got in a bind this afternoon and the screen did not survive. It will power on, but all I can see is a colorful band at the top of the screen. I am wanting to mount the phone so that I can get some pictures and stuff off of it. Is this possible without access to the screen?
I would also like to get my backups off.
cant you just mount it as a usb drive?

I don't know. These were the kinds of questions I need answers to.
With no touch screen your pretty much screwed

Check out [Tool] Android Screencast 0.4 (open-source)
If that tool doesn't work for you, I'm pretty sure you can still do it using an adb pull
example
adb pull /sdcard/download

I will have to give that a try. I assume this dies a full copy of everything on the sd card?
If so,I bet this will work because every time I turn the phone on it alerts me about the last text I received before it wan ruined. It still works just no screen.
On a side note, is there screen replacement for these phones yet?
I just noticed something!
You once connected, you may need to press the power button on the phone, then on the computer clear your lock screen.
Then you should be able to get to your pull down menu and activate the USB connection.
adb pull is easier if you know were the files you want are.
also you can tell it were to put the files you are pulling!
Otherwise it puts it in your current directory.
adb pull /sdcard/DCIM/camera c:\phonephotos

Found this one but I'm sure you can find it cheaper.

Great information. Much appreciated.
On the screen replacement question, what is a used SGS2 going for lately? I am going to look at ebay and craigslist, but I thought you might know off of the top of your head. It might still be worth fixing and reselling.
I did have a full discount through t-mobile on one of my lines, so the one I got to replace the broken one was only $200. I originally purchased the broken one for $100. Nice to have friends that work for certain technology companies.
Any recoup on the price of the two phones is worth it.
If you can get into recovery, I can tell you what keys to press to get into USB Mount for your PC.
There's a program called Android Commander that runs on your computer. If your phone boots, it will allow you to connect to your phone and pull files off it pretty easily.

This assumes USB debugging is enabled on the phone already.
To use Wifi mode, you'll need to install adbwireless.
The above is difficult with a non functioning screen.
USB Debugging is set on the phone. The computer does recognize the phone. I will look into all options when I gt home from work. No time to explore here.
I appreciate all of the replies. Keep the ideas coming.

So, the ADB "pull" command worked. I just pulled my Titanium Backup files and threw them on the new device and restored. It is loading up right now. I will wipe the delvic cache and be good.
Thanks for all the helpful ideas. I was already familiar with ADB so I just went with it.
Do you mind providing step-by-step instructions? This could potentially be very helpful for the community.

Hey there XDA, ive been having an issue with my GSII T989 that i hope you can help me with.
I originally got the phone off ebay used as a replacement for my T499 that had a broken loudspeaker (couldnt hear calls or use alarm)
It came with the stock TMO version of 4.1.2. Im on the monthly 4G plan with TMO and my old phone didnt have any way to stop tethering so i was able to use it freely. I still do not feel it necessary that i should have to give TMO an extra $15 per month to use this feature, so naturally i avoided it as much as possible. in 4.1.2 the "tethering provision" app was disable-able, so i Initially planned to keep that on the phone, however the phone kept getting the update to the newest software pushed to it and i couldnt get the notification to go away. rather than upgrade to another rom that would inhibit tethering, i decided to put a custom rom on it.
After looking over a few, i decided to go with AOKP. at this point the phone was fully functional. I was able to copy all the related files to the phone over USB. I initially loaded the CWRM 4.0.4.3 and that went smoothly
of course when i attempted to load AOKP i hit a roadblock as i had not updated the Radio. i got the radio and copied the file over to the phone while it was in recovery mode, and then loaded the rom up. everything seemed to be great, until a few days later.
I tried plugging my phone into my PC to copy a photograph off of it to post online, and it wouldn't work. Initially i figured it might have been a problem with the cable i was using. Since it was used, the phone came with an off-brand cable. I tried my OE cable for my T499, still nothing.
eventually i went and enabled "USB debugging mode" in developer options, and then it worked! I thought that seemed really weird, but at least i could still get into it.
that was a few weeks ago. Now i have been thinking about trying another rom, and now i cannot get the USB media mode to work on my phone at all, on any of my PCs, whether in normal, USB Debug, or in recovery mode. I even tried converting to the touch version of CWRM to see if something was wrong with that, and it still wont connect. The PC detects the phone but it refuses to show the storage. when i Enable USB debugging mode, it connects and shows the media device, but promptly disconnects again a few seconds later for no apparent reason. It even did this with Kies running. Everything else on the phone works as it should and it has no trouble charging from a wall jack or from the usb cable.
If you guys could help that would be great
T-Mobile SGH-T989
AOKP 4.3, CWRM 4.0.4.3

I hope you've meant 6.0.4.3 CWM instead of 4.0.4.3. That's old-old-old-old-old, and 99% likely to not work with today's ROMs and etc. What I would do is try to setup ADB on your computer and use that to push/pull files from your phone for in cases like this where the phone or computer doesn't like MTP. I highly recommend using this guide to setup ADB if you're going that route.
Edit: Spelling and wording to make more relevant (Skimmed through and missed the point of the last paragraph).
Hi there,
I own a 5t since mid Jan. Did the Oreo OTA a couple weeks ago and everything was fine.
Now since yesterday I notice the wifi is suddenly on at times eventhough I turned it off!
When I see it on I turn it off again and an hour later or so it is on again!
The only change since a few days ago is software I installed through Google Play (unrooted system). I'll remove all this and see what happens as there doesn't seem to be a clear connection with anything in particular.
Should software be able to do this? Or Android even?
The system can turn WiFi on and off, yes it has permissions to do this. However it should only do so in response to a specific instruction or event.
Since you're not rooted then a non-system app won't be able to turn WiFi on or off unless you explicitly give it permission. The way I'd diagnose this is to use 'adb logcat' as soon as you notice it turn on again after manually turning it off. The log should tell you what app is doing it. If you don't know/have adb then you might be able to get a non-root logcat app from the Play Store (not sure).
Thanks!
From Android 4.1 all logcat programs need root. I'll simply remove everything I installed to see.
To come back to this and close this. I did the ota to 8.1 a couple weeks ago and going through the settings after I noticed some new location settings.
One describes exactly what I have seen. Is it a new setting or 8.0 also had it? If so it was enabled.
Anyhow 8.1 fixes it.
Enable developer option and use your PC to run logcat.
It does not require root.
Hello everyone!
So every month when Google releases their security updates, I usually flash-all with the "-w" intact. I just like to get a fresh start once a month and don't mind setting a few things up again.
One strange thing I noticed is USB file transfer doesn't work as intended once I flash-all and get back into the OS.
When I connect my Pixel 2 XL to my iMac, the connection is constantly disconnecting and reconnecting every second.
I use an app called "Handshaker" for file transfers, and my device in this app shows up and disappears every second. Transfer speeds are also about half the speed they normally are as well.
Thinking it could be the third-party app Handshaker itself, I went into Terminal and typed "adb devices" to see if my device shows up. One second it will, another it won't. "adb push" will also fail halfway. My USB debugging notification also appears and disappears every second or so as well, so that tells me it isn't the Handshaker file transfer app.
Sometimes it will stay connected for a couple of minutes and then will disconnect. This is extremely frustrating as I'm basically praying files transfer before the device disconnects lol.
I am aware USB cables and the Pixel 2 XL don't get along very well, and I have tried a couple different ones with no luck.
The strange part is, after a day or so, (maybe once the OS "settles in"?) File transfer is back to being rock solid, and transfer speeds go back to being blazing fast again.
Apart from trying different cables, I've tried this on a couple different monthly updates (as the issue has been ongoing for some time now). I've also tried custom kernels and ROMs to see if that helps, with no luck.
The only "fix" is just to wait a day or two and try again (which always works). It's only when I try transferring files immediately after flashing-all.
Simply waiting, although, is technically a fix, it's still very strange and doesn't seem normal. I'd like to hear from anyone else who's experienced this and can explain what's going on.
Sorry for the lengthy explanation but I like to be thorough so it helps you guys help me better
Thanks in advance!

Many people are reporting various USB issues everywhere with the Pixel 2 XL. Mine isn't even recognized by Windows anymore, and ADB now doesn't work at all...
One day it works, the next day it doesn't anymore
On mine ADB works fine but when I switch the usb settings over to file transfer my laptop doesn't recognize the phone. Drivers are installed properly, tried many usb cables, usb ports, but file transfer doesn't work. Thank God I have good internet connection, so I have a full backup of the whole device on my Google drive. ?? However I didn't need to reflash the phone just yet. I'm still new in the game with this phone. ? No mistakes have been made... Well, not yet... ?
Interesting, seems like (from what I know) I'm the only person who has USB issues right after flashing factory images and no issues otherwise.
That's the part that has me scratching my head the most, because I don't make any changes, I just wait it out and everything starts working perfectly fine again :/
