My suggestion would be to plug it in and go in though adb if you can. You should be able to pull the pics out of the phone even with it locked. You will just have to find the correct comand lines. Hope that helps.

What @Cal-El said. Im assuming that you have USB debugging on already. If thats the case, all you have to do is run an "ADB Pull" command.
adb pull /sdcard/path/to/file /path/to/local/file.
Example:
adb pull /sdcard/dcim/camera C:\Picture backup

Click to collapse
This will pull you pictures from the /sdcard/dcim/camera folder & copy them onto C:\Picture backup.
Hope this helps.

Pulled Battery while in Download Mode - Now Won't turn on?? Any ideas

I had my T989 plugged in to USB, and my phone was in download mode. I wanted to reboot it, so I removed the battery and put it back in. Now it won't turn on. I tried different batteries and still nothing.
Is it bricked???
When I try using Volume up and down, and connect to USB, it makes a noise on my PC like its connected but then makes 2 noises like its disconnected.
What can I do?? HELP
EDIT
On system manager, it comes up as:
"HS-USB Diagnostics 9008"
If I purchased this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Download-Mo...ccessories&hash=item35b2e61b7d#ht_3861wt_1093
Would I be able to unbrick?
Thanks
Its probably bricked. Keep trying to see if you can get it, and if not try sending it back to T-Mobile and see if they'll send you another one

But then I tried it again and now it says "Device not found"
any more ideas?

Bricked. Go get another phone and don't ever flash anything again.

Did you try:
Pulling battery
Putting in batteryy, don't touch power, insert usb
Wait for signal on pc, try command
Adb devices
If so can you cut screen contents and paste here?
*EDIT
And I would appreciate uploading data from
Adb logcat command aswell..
Presuming you have samsung galaxy drivers installed, correct?

Phone is hard bricked, normal tag from ebay will not help you.
You must send your phone to reflash , there are many places to do in US.
Price is near 50 $ and so.

I bet it can be rescued by pulling battery, keeping it out for a few minutes, putting it back in, holding volume +/- while inserting usb cable connected to computer.
5 min ago, i pulled battery when in download mode... brick....
Just flash ROM again and it works

Fastboot

I am 99.99999% sure i know the answer to this question, but i figure ill ask anyways....
Is there a way to get into fastboot without the power button?
Recently my power button crapped out on me. I got a new replacement phone, but i wanted to pull files off my old phone...
any help would be appreciated, thanks!
EDIT:
Again, 99.99% sure i know this answer too... but is there a way to sent a power up signal via USB when the phone is off?
does your phone turn on?
if so and you have adb setup, you can use: adb reboot bootloader

Nope, doesnt turn on... When im plugged in via USB either to a computer or a power outlet, i get the battery charging icon, but thats it...
before it broke, the power button was working spotty... then the next morning it was not working at all

cohrs said:
take the battery out and plug into usb (connected to computer). put the battery back in and when you see the battery charging on the screen remove the battery again. On mine the battery image starts flickering. at that point i put the battery back in and it rebooted.
This has worked for me a few times. Once rebooted you will be able to see your device using adb and then fastboot.
i got the idea from this post but found the timing i used worked better than his random attempts while holding the x key on the nexus one.

If you're really desperate for the data, you could always open the phone up and manually trigger the button as someone above has posted. There probably is another way via hardware tools e.g. JTAG or something OMAP/flash related but I'm not aware of anything specific.

Galaxy S3 Won't Power On

Hi , I'm having problems with my Galaxy T999. I have rooted and have not yet installed any kernels/roms. The only thing i did was installed a couple apps from the play store . and wanted to check out the CWM recovery menu and was going to try to installed "hyperX camera mod". First thing i did was shut off the phone . Then pressed on the Volume up+Home+Power button . After doing that my phone didn't turn on or anything , no vibration or anything . I hooked it on with my computer and press the power button and it was able to connect and then disconnected. I am at lost now and can't seem to find any answer . Have looked every where not sure what to do now. Any solution will be much appreciated .
***
It seems to disconnect due to no driver found for QHUSUB_DLOAD .
Without any solutions I'll probably gonna get my phone replace . T_T
Does your phone disconnect immediately, or does it stay connected for a brief amount of time? If it stays connected briefly, try using adb during this period to boot into recovery. The command is "adb reboot recovery" (without the quotes).

Try to remove your battery then plug in charger. See if you can turn on. If you can turn it on, leave it 30 minutes. Then put in the battery.
By the looks of the result the computer gives you when you plug it in, seems it is hard bricked! Are you sure you didn't flash anything from the I9300 section like a rom?
Sent from my SGH-T999
The hyper x camera mod isnt entirely for our phone. I've read that it's flashable to our phone though, so I'm not sure what's going on here. Maybe the OP needs to link where he got the mod. Ih and stay away from the intl version all together.

Yup its a paperweight. The Intl version has the system partition in a different place. So you borked an important one.
Only thing that's throwing me off is that the OP suggests he didn't actually get around to flashing the mod.

SGS3 T999v wont start up.
My sgs3 t999v would turn off by itself every other time I hit the lock button.
like I would be txting and then if I hit the lock button it would turn off.
So I though a factory reset would fix the problem. (volume up + home).
after the reset it still kept turning off randomly.
and now I cant even get it to the normal interface. or get in to the manual reset mode.
Device was previously jail broken, however was returned back to stock and was working fine for 3 months.
I had my otterbox on for every fall my phone had, so I dont think it would be a hardware issue.
the phone was running 4.1.1 I believe.
stock rom.
help please! :C

Can you get download mode? (Volume down, HOME and power)
Even though you have a case on it, it sounds like it was probably damaged by one of the falls. Most cases as far as I'm aware mostly protect the display. The shock from impact can still damage internal components, even with a case built with this in mind.

Hey thanks for replying!
I drained the battery and got a new charge in it and managed to get it booted up
however now the problem of the lock button is still here.
like if i use it to lock my screen it just turns off on me, and it takes multiple times for me to get the phone up and running again.
you could see if you could find a widget or widgets that will basically put a button on your screen that can power off, enable lock screen, reboot recovery/download, etc.
Then just use the HOME button to turn the screen back on.
It sounds to me like a hardware problem, but if you can flash another Rom and do a full wipe/factory reset you'll know for sure.
I hope this helps. Not sure what else you can do besides getting it repaired or replaced unfortunately.
Maybe someone else will have a better idea though.

[Q] HTC One X lost 2,000 pics-Now in Safe Mode

This thread assists a friend who is a new Mom & ALL of her infants pictures are not showing on this phone. I appreciate advice on this one, and happy to compensate anyone for taking a few minutes to advise me. I'm unfamiliar with HTC phones so thought I would post.
She fell asleep last night playing a game, today the phone is in "safe mode" and shows no pictures stored.
Phone is not rooted, completely stock. What is my best option. Thank you
Thought there might be life here. OK, $100 bucks for the fix. Anyone
Why is the phone in safe mode?
If it can be booted normally please let her install the Rescan Media app from the Play Store.
Open the app, and wait for 10 minutes (it works in the background). After ten minutes restart the phone.

Haha I'd be just as happy with such easy $100 just as much as the next person but I doubt that's gonna happen.

That's why i turned on dropbox auto upload !
These main problems are because of MTP, it's crap. HTC should have let UMS in ......
If your solution doesn't work there are 2 options i can think if at this moment
1: let a repair shop read the sdcard from "outside the phone"
2: unlock the bootloader and take the chance to recover the missing files (first unlock will delete sdcard)

I have this issue before one year. I don't remember soo good but I think resolved the problem s FULL FACTORY RESET. But I remember HOW I go in Safe Mmode. After trying go in bootloader but I don't know why it is been unsucssesuful and the phone go in Safe mode.
The best way for you is to try to factory reset without wipe SD Card and see what will happend. I hope will exit from safe mode and you will not lose your pics.

Data recovery from broken screen note 8

As the title suggests, my screen is inoperable but I can hear notifications come through, so it's booting up. Any way to get unbacked data off of it?

I'd say plug it in to the computer and try getting into the phone.. You might have to tap on the screen even though it's broken it could probably still accept touch and you'll need to try to tap "ok" in order to get access or you'll have to try to use smart switch app to try.
The screen is unresponsive, I can't even try to guess where the buttons are to enter the pin

Your best bet is try to find a screen then.. I had that problem 1 time in my life and I found a screen on Ebay that was cracked pretty badly but it still worked and it allowed me to at least connect it and get my stuff transferred.. You should also check your gmail account because the Google account you have a lot of the phones backup themselves automatically and you might be able to get it back onto another phone.

I would be able to help you get what you need off the phone if youre in the NJ area. Ive been able to help out people in similar situations before. Just let me know if you have exhausted other options and you dont mind handing over your phone temporarily to a complete stranger . Seriously though, I can see if I can help.
