Need help using CWM to recover data - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my screen blacked out and I would like to attempt and retrieve the information off of my phone. I have an idea to use the CWM I have installed on my phone and from there mount it. But since I cannot see the screen, I was hoping somebody could tell me the number of presses of each button so I can mount it. Thanks!

not sure if cwm will help, but twrp 3 will definitely help, i want you to boot into download mode and flash twrp 3 using Odin, and then boot into recovery.
TWRP 3 has MTP enabled by default, so when you're in TWRP and connected your phone to PC, you will see your phone on PC and will be able to copy anything you want.
also you can use adb pull commands but it requires usb debugging on in your rom.

Should I be able to do all this without the use of my screen?

yes, you will do it blindly, but it's not hard.
you press power + home + volume down for 3 seconds, then press volume up, and connect your phone to PC, then flash the TWRP 3 using Odin,after the flash is done, remove battery, and insert again, then hold the power + home + volume up for 4 seconds, the release the power and keep holding the other 3 buttons for another 3 seconds then release, by now it should be in recovery mode, now connect to PC and you should see your phone and all its content.

How about just turn the phone on and connect a USB and tranfer everything to your PC ?(Donot requires screen)

good question.
he can't do it in two cases:
1- if he is using android 6.0+
2- if he is using a password, PIN or a pattern in his lock screen.
i believe he should have tried your suggestion already, it would be a shame if he didn't because it's an Obvious thing.
however, i should have mentioned that as well...

[Q] I have flashed chinese MIUI Desire_2.4.13 ROM

I have registered my account to ask this question. I have been flashing roms since I bought desire a month ago. But this time I flashed the chinese version of MIUI rom from their official website. They didn't even mentioned on their site that this is Chinese and official version of the rom.
My question is, how can I connect my USB cable to connect to the computer and then copy some other rom to my memory card. ( I don't have memory card reader/adapter). I tried to connect it but it's showing charging icon on the status bar, I then tap on that icon and there were some on/off options I tried to change them in both states but the device is still not connecting to the computer in USB mode. I am bit afraid because I am experiencing this strange problem that I haven't found fix on the net.
P.S: Sorry for my English and please reply urgently I can't even use my phone with this chinese version.
Why don't you just go to recovery (just power off phone and then while holding volume down press and hold power) and mount sdcard from there?

I have to connect my phone with pc, so I can put another rom on the sd card and then flash it. Is it possible to do this via recovery? If yes please guide me how do this.
Thanks
Yes, it is possible... Like i said, turn off your phone (if you're not sure how take the battery out and put it back again), then while holding the volume down button on the side of the phone press and hold power button... Phone should turn on, screen should be white with phone info on the top and Norad skating at the bottom of the screen - this is called bootloader... After several seconds some check-ups should be done and you should be able to move through menu by pressing volume up and down... Navigate to recovery and press power button to select it... Now the screen should change and you should be taken to recovery whichever you have installed... From there you can either restore a nandroid backup if you previously made it or toggle usb/mount usb or whatever it says and while in that menu connecting phone you should be able to access sdcard... if there is something you can't follow ask...

[Q] HTC Desire HD Bricked bootloader not loading and cannot connect to pc need help

Good day!
After searching everywhere in the web and using different methods, I decided to create an account and ask you guys how to solve my problem
Basically, I have a HTC Desire HD phone, this is unlocked, rooted and using cm-Jellytime_42_R11 ROM. I decided to change ROM and go back to Android Revolution. What I did first was I deleted a couple of folders in my clockwork folder, I deleted both backup to free space. Afterwards, I was trying to connect my phone to my laptop but to no avail (it only charged) then I decided to just boot into recovery. After a couple of tries trying to access and going to bootloader/recovery mode it just wont push through. So I decided to normal boot, then the phone won't boot anymore. It just hanged in the Jellytime loading screen.
Note: I removed the battery a couple of too many times since I was trying to boot into recovery.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this problem
I didn't understand very well.

And where you get now stucked when you just power on phone?

What does it do when you try to go to hboot? Is it detected in fastboot? Is it detected in adb when you try to boot normally?

WHen it getts stuck in the roms boot animation, connect usb to the phone and try
Code:
adb devices
Most devices show up via adb during the boot animation.
If the device shows up there, enter
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
then go here and download 4ext recovery.
extract the .img file from the zip. Rename it to recovery.img and place it in your adb directory and enter this whiles in fastboot
Code:
fastboot devices
to make sure your device shows up
then
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after it has successfully flashed reboot to recovery ad try and flash the rom u want.
hope i helped. Click on the thanks buttton.
You can ask if you still have problems.

I dont know if this is going to work with CWM but it works on TWRP and 4ext.
Remove the battery and re-insert it.
Now connect the usb to the device.
Dont press the power button.(leave it off)
After the the charging light comes on, the device should be discoverable by adb.
Now try
Code:
adb devices
It should be detected by adb.

Ok, so basically, the problem why i can't do the power button + vol (-) is that my volume buttons are broken. (sad) Second, the reason why my computer wasn't detecting my phone is that my phone's charging slot is dirty and I had to clean it with a needle to remove the dust, at the same time, the cable I was using was broken. When I was able to clean the slot and change cables, I then followed the steps by mickeyasamoah (thanks bro) with the adb procedures. Although it failed when it was in the flash recovery line (dunno why), I just proceeded into flashing a new ROM and voila, it worked.

You need a Windows PC, I suggest getting minimal ADB from this XDA post.

N7100 boot stuck

Hello.
I own a Note II which lately seemed to have some problems.
In the last few months, it used to restart somewhat spontaneously (it seemed that it rebooted when its processor or RAM were too busy, but this wasn't a rule). During one night it probably rebooted and next morning I found it stuck on the first boot screen (the one with "Samsung Galaxy Note II").
When stuck on the boot screen, if I press the power button for a few seconds, it turns off. If closed, it gets to the boot screen and gets stuck there when I press the power button. When plugged to power, it gets stuck at the screen with the empty battery that has a loading icon in the middle.
I manage however to get it into recovery mode, however, in this situation, it can't be seen by the PC, unless I put it in adb sideload mode. When stuck on the logo screen, it is seen as mtp device.
In the recovery mode screen, there are many errors (can't/failed to mount /efs, /system, /cache, /cache/recovery/last_recovery, /data, /data/log/recoverylog.txt, /cache, /cache/recovery/log, last_log, last_install.
In Windows, the PC doesn't recognize the model, however, in a virtual machine that runs Linux, it is correctly seen as Note II when in adb sideload mode, but Linux is not able to mount its storage.
I have also deleted cache, tried Samsung Kies and Note II Toolkit.
What I would like to do is recover the data on it. Do you think it is possible, and if yes, how?
Thank you.
Sounds like a failed memory chip to me.
any answer now?

No, I don't have access. What I want is to recover the files on it, if possible.
This may be a problem with the power button. if you can go into download by pressing only the menu button + volume down is because the power button is always pressed.

Sorry i think your partitions broked. I think you cant recover your data. There is has only one solution. Odin and Format....
My device too has pc cant detect my phone. I tried different cable without samsung usb drivers. Pc succesfully detected the my device.
By the way i installed lg usb driver because of someone's phone is lg and they need format.
I think there's no way to recover your data now.
BTW what recovery are you using?

How to shutdown w/o touch input

So my Note 10+ screen broke so that I can only see the top 15% and only touch the bottom 60%. I booted into TWRP to backup everything, and now I'm in a situation where I can't turn the thing off. I am unable to press the shutdown button, only the download mode and recovery mode buttons. I am also unable to press the ADB side load button to send a shutdown command. It will be quite some time before I am able to fix the screen, so I don't want the phone battery to be sitting dead and degrading for a month or more. I already tried draining the battery and then plugging it in to charge, but the phone automatically booted into TWRP.... hardware key combos only reboot, they won't shut down...
Does anybody have an idea how to power off my device? Or to reboot into system or gain ADB access without being able to use the touchscreen? Thanks for the help
TWRP should allow you to use adb commands already.
You can use fastboot continue

I am trying to use adb from another Android device to the broken device using an otg cable, but the ADB otg app does not recognize it. From my memory, when I had tried to use adb in TWRP I always had to go into advanced and press the ADB side load button, but maybe this is different with fastboot? Unfortunately I do not have access to a computer right now, or a mouse for that matter.

What are you trying to do exactly?
A bit convoluted but ...
Volume down + Power - forced reboot, right after vibration with USB cable on switch to Volume Up + Power . maybe boot to recovery !?
Odin - Set get system Info on - force reboot ?

Thanks for the recommendation, but the problem is that I am stuck in recovery mode. I am able to boot into recovery and download modes, but not into the normal system mode. If I could boot into system mode I should be able to use the lower half of the screen to shutdown the device, or use adb.

Yes, I understood that, last opcional on recovery is shutdown?
Just press up and then power?

Unless you can't boot to the default recovery? That's why I suggested Odin.
