use philz recovery. it is compatible with both cwm and twrp backups.
Yeah I did that but it doesnt allow mount usb. it Says "sdcard0: shared-unmounted"
to sum:
philz recovery 5.15 and 6.01 doesnt allow usb mounting (which i need cause i can't boot into android)
twrp 2.6.30: no touch, can't even unlock the screen
is there a working recovery with usb mounting for one x? preferably touch but no-touch is fine as well
5.15 definitely works. Enter the recovery, hook on the usb cable, tap the last option in the mounts and storage list. Then wait......may take a few minutes so give it time.
hmm, nothing is showing on 5.15, i clicked "mount storage", another window opened but no response until screen turns off due to timeout (im guessing it shouldnt take this long!?)
I'm using Android universal naked driver instead of having one for every device, could that be the problem? The phone is recognized as an "android device" on my computer though, and can fastboot commands OK.
I don't have the HTC one x fastboot/normal drivers, is there one handy around?
uninstall unofficial drivers and re install HTC syncmanager with it's drivers.
The recovery works just fine, trust me
do i need the sync manager or can i get away with just the htc driver? space is kind of a premium (old laptop), never had to use the manager in nexus one and sensation before...since i only need to use the mount usb from recovery (boot loop)
Just try
Uninstalling universal, installed just the driver. Exe took like30 minutes to install the drivers(mtp one took forever) but finally able to recognise 1x on laptop. But then bsod before I can move anything
Thanks anyway Mr!
What's the problem, and be specific !
bsod=blue screen of death, don't remember what the error was, but it's definitely caused by the new driver
Weird, can you try the same on a different pc ?
i spent like 10 hours on the internet searching for a way to root my gnex maguro without using the usb cable, yet there's absolutely nothing.
my phone is unlocked but needs rooting and needs a custom recovery. is there absolutely no way i can either get to boot a custom recovery or to root it without the usb?
I mean, it doesn't make sense. why does the phone need to connect to a pc to download and run a file that can be run from its internal storage anyway? and even if google doesn't want this to happen, is it so hard to do an exploit in order to flash a file from the internal storage? and i'm even more surprised by the absense of manual installation of supersu, there is no way to put the damn files in the right place without running the recovery. why?
and for transporting data to the phone, there's airdroid which works pretty well.
please help me my usb port is broken and only charges, no data throughput capabilities :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
So apparently there exist 2 apps on the play store which enable add connection over WiFi - WiFi adb. All this time for nought, this is the first thread on the Internet that has the solution for rooting without USB. The end.
Can anyone please assist to get data off an S3 which sticks at the blue-backed throbbing SAMSUNG splash screen just after the android rocket take-off.
The history is that the phone started constant-rebooting and I left it off for a few weeks. Then I took it into a shop to get the power switch replaced and the repairer noticed that it no longer reboots, it just sticks at that SAMSUNG screen. When neither of us could get it into safe mode, he diagnosed that it was "definitely" a software problem. Resetting caches from recovery mode doesn't do anything and as I am trying to get data off it, I am a bit reluctant to follow other solutions I have found here and do a master reset!
I THINK this device is rooted (with towelroot)? See below
I can get to an Odin screen and can get the device recognised on the computer and wondered if I could do resets from there with one of the 4 files included with 3.07. Curiously enough one of them did succeed (though the success was too quick to convince me it had actually flashed very much) and the device did reboot but still got stuck at the same splash screen! Taking the battery out and restarting/cleaning caches again etc didn't help and now, none of the Odin files will 'flash' successfully, which is why I am not sure if I am still rooted or if something is returned to stock. I am just not sure which file or what exactly flashed successfully and what it did to the ROM, bootloader, CID, etc etc etc. SO I am assuming that if I can still load Odin and get the S3 recognised, it is still rooted.
Is there anything else I can try either through odin or independently to get me into the os please? I have loaded skipsoft and run it and it has connected to the S3 (and changed things) just by connecting to the computer in download mode: But I can't see where in skipsoft I can diagnose or correct whatever is wrong
Flash TWRP via Odin, boot into TWRP, mount data partition, connect the phone to a computer, and try to copy the phone's data to the computer.
What that guy said ^^^ Install a new OS for your system which should replace your old one. You don't need to boot TWRP if you are going to boot a new OS. My method involves you losing all your data so you have been warned. You can get the stable version for that here http://techbeasts.com/update-t-mobi...o-android-4-3-jelly-bean-t999uvuemjc-guide/2/. Good luck
Thanks for that guys but I have apparently already loaded Philz and it SAYS it has backed up the data and/or storage to sc card and I am wondering if Ican restore it to a new Galaxy J7. I especially need to figure out if I can restore telephone text messages from the S3 onto the J7 but i could make do for the moment with knowing whether such messages have made their way onto the SD card.
Yes, I am a bit reluctant to do a full wipe and restore until I can figure this out.
Or if I can access the files through my computer as you suggest, what file / format would they be in?
If you used Philz to create a backup, I don't think you'll be able to restore the data to the J7, but I could be wrong because Philz hasnt been updated for a long time which means there may be no Philz for the J7.
Philz can only be restored with Philz and possibly cwm.
I got Philz installed through Skipsoft but am wondering whether there is any newer utility I can install over whatever Skipsoft has put there? Or is that what TWRP is?
I am a bit reluctant to install anything through TWRP if it is going to not only overwrite the OS but also delete all the data I am trying to access! But is there any utility which might conceivably get my phone working again without deleting all my data please?
If I load T999UVUEMJC_T999TMBEMJC_TMB,md5 through Odin, will it delete all my data??
Flashing twrp should not over write the rom, only the recovery.
Was the phone recognized as a removable when it was booted into philz?

Why did you ask me that? 'cos I was pretty sure it was recognised but checked again and it isn't recognised by the computer at all when I plug it in (and obviously isn't recognised by Odin)
Philz shows as Touch 6.26.6 and ClockworkMod v 6.0.4.8
Why would I ask? Because twrp can mount the phone as a removable drive to copy off the data as you wanted to do in your original post.

Sorry to harp but are we agreed generally that there is no way of getting this phone working again, - whether with some utility or by re-flashing the stock or some new ROM?
Once the phone starts hanging at that third throbbing SAMSUNG screen, is it effectively dead save only for the purposes of getting data off it as a media device please? I really need to access my text messages and couldn't even identify them on a file directory and wouldn't know what format they were in if I could access the file browser. That was sorta a last resort but I am now downloading T999UVUEMJC_T999TMBEMJC_TMB for installation through Odin? Or for installation through Philz if I can get the file onto the SD card.
Did you try twrp and use a otg usb?
It really depends on how much your time is worth.

I will keep retrying to see if it is something I am doing wrong but whereas Skipsoft installed easily, i dont seem to be able to install twrp on this nonbooting pda?
If the phone is not recognised by the computer, either the drivers are not working properly, the USB port is damaged, or the USB cable is not compatible with Odin.
Until the phone is recognised in Odin, you can't flash a stock rom from sammobile.com.

I am not exactly a newbie at this but I am beginning to wonder if I havent just got a developing massive hardware failure. I have tried a number of computers, including ones which formerly recognised the computer/cable/S3 setup and none can now recognise the phone, eg in Odin.
The phone is detected on plugin to Windows 10 (with the recognition beep) and is then not seen in windows explorer. Changing cables doesn't do anything. I am assuming it should automatically appear on the drop-down menu in TWRP's app in the playstore. That menu only shows a phone I plugged into the system about 6 months ago (without it being rooted) and asks for root permissions on this now-nonexistent phone.
The phone is not now recognised as it was up till only a few days ago in XP. Nothing is now recognised on a Mac, though on all three units the phone charges.
Restarting in download mode a few times changes nothing.

The only other thing I can think of is putting some TWRP file (?) on an SD card, booting into recover/Philz and can i not install TWRP or reflash some ROM from there?
I'm not sure if twrp can be flashed from Philz as I have always flashed TWRP via Odin.
You have done everything I would have done to get the phone recognized short of a installing a fresh installation of a Windows OS.
You could also try Heimdall (http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/).
Hello everybody.... I write because I'm facing a problem that's causing lot of headhache:
I have this Samsung A3 (SM-A320FL) with broken screen, no USB debug, no root and stock recovery and I need to retrieve data from it.
I tried almost everything:
- programs like Dr.Fone, but the model wasn't supported
- connect the smartphone to the pc, but I can't confirm the mtp connection from the first
- used a USB otg splitter, one port filled with a mouse and another connected directly to the pc, but the smartphone wasn't even seen
I was thinking to flash a custom recovery to use adb, but:
I don't even know what version of Android is installed, nor firmware and I think that encryption was automatically turned on, so unless someone of you has a solution, the best for now is to repair the screen.
The situation is interesting but honestly I didn't see as many solutions...

Hi,
I dropped my Samsung Galaxy S4 mini device (I9195), and now the screen is broken and doesn't work anymore.
Now I want to save the data of the internal storage, but since I cannot unlock the phone and I don't have USB debugging enabled, it is difficult.
After reading many threads, I downloaded a Clockworkmod recovery ROM and flashed it with ODIN. However, I don't have ADB access (not even displayed in the device manager, only a volume under portable devices). I also tried TRWP.
Can anyone please tell me how to get the data?
Thank you!
PS: I also used dr.fone, but it fails to flash the recovery....
