[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wr.:
So I picked up an SII GT-I9100M (Bell Canada) for free, it just has an absolutely smashed screen. I plan on purchasing a replacement digitizer and frame on ebay and replacing the parts myself. However, the phone came with no battery and as far as I can discern it isn't possible to start the phone to see if works without the battery. I'm just curious if there is any other way I can check that the hardware is good before I decide to spend $130 on a new frame and digitizer.

Thanks in advance.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grandtheftman:
Hey guys,

is it possible to access the internal storage via adb, without having a display?

My Galaxy SII Display is broken, but the rest should work.

usually i have to lock in with the security points that have to be connected (i dont know how that is called in english),

to allow access via usb.

now that the display does not work, i can not go that way.

so is it possible to access the internal storage via adb?

or do you have another way for me to get my data back?

i am not going to buy a new galaxy s2 and replacing the motherboard,

because its not worth it.

i have cm10.1 installed with dorimanx kernel, and root is allowed for adb and apps.

i never used adb, so i dont know how to start my search.

i also have the problem that i dont know how to look for that thing,

because im not english.

it would be nice if you can give me a start,

or another way to access the internal storage.

i also thougt about accessing via recovery.

i think i can go into recovery, and by pressing volume and power keys,

i can naviagte to mount data.

but im not sure about the steps,

so if anyone have a dorimanx 7.xx kernel,

can you please write the steps down for me?

thank you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BOOTMGR:
if you can mount in recovery then mount everything in recovery,connect your device to PC and the open command prompt and navaigate to folder where you have set up android sdk.

now do the following

1) adb shell

2) now type ls -it'll list all folder and files.

3) now navigate to your sd-card (can't tell exact name for internal sd card) by typing cd <directory name>

4) you can list all files by using ls command.

5) Once you find the exact directory name of sd card and files to be recovered then type exit

6) now type adb pull /path/to/your/folder/filename.File will be saved in working directory...

i don't have s2,just helping you with some common adb stuffs.

btw you can use adb file managers which provides GUI.Like this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1821601
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnvbs:
adb

Connect the phone to system, Open terminal and do adb remount then adb shell.

Now do ls, you will be able to see all the folder and everything. Go to Sd-card folder and there you should have all your data.

There is and app ADBExplorer. I have never used this tool, but you can check it is GUI.

Thanks,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grandtheftman:
The ADBFileexplorer worked very well for me.

Just booted in recovery and started the explorer.jar in the adb folder.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam75:
Hi all,

Ive spent to weekend reading about rooting and ROMS/Kernels and decided to try it. I used a root kit found here from Mskip (great kit). Ive sucessfully rooted, and then sucessfully installed Smooth Rom 4.3 with the Motley kernel.

Ive downloaded Titanium Backup and Rom Manager. TB worked and I did a backup (which I now cant find) (i have ES File Explorer). I upgraded to Titanium Pro, and now when I open the app is states root was denied. I remember when I first opened TB SuperSu asked me to grant it access. After a reboot I opened SuperSu and stated a Binary update was necessary and performed it.

Now TB pro states root was denied, when I open SuperSu there is nothing there in the apps list, and I dont know how to manually grant TB root access.

Sorry if this is noobish, not sure what to do and I dont want to keep going without a backup.

Edit: When I try to backup in ROM Manager I hit backup, it brings up the notification to name the backup, I hit ok and nothing happens.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
That sort of sounds like the SuperSU "su" update might have failed. Can you get root with other apps? (e.g. go in to a terminal emulator and type "su")

Note there is a chicken-and-egg problem if (either) SuperSU/su or Superuser/su fail: they need root themselves to remount /system so that the "su" binary can be updated.

If no apps can get root, then you sort of have "lost root", and the fix is to manually insert the .apk and su binary into /system/app and /system/bin/su (or /system/xbin/su depending on flavor!) either with a flash package in recovery, or manually via the adb shell command line (with custom recovery running).

HTH

PS you should be able to just manually start the recovery and do a backup in the meantime, no? The fact that ROM manager isn't doing anything could either be a lack-of-root problem or something else (a busybox dependency?)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam75:
thx for the quick response, however much of that is WAY over my head. I opened terminal emulator and typed su and this is what popped up. 1 u0_a40@android:/ $

When TB is opened it states error "sorry I could not acquire root privilegdes. this applidation will not work. please verify that your rom is rooted and try again. this attempt was made using the "/system/xbin/su" command.

I dont see busybox in my app drawer
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
If the SuperSU app (and companion binary) were working correctly, you should have seen one of those "Accept / Deny" pop-up messages coming from the SuperSU app... assuming that you didn't previously grant root access to that terminal emulator app. You didn't mention that happening.... ?

Also, usually the command prompt usually changes from $ to # when you have root, but not always; the explicit way to check would be to (after you have tried the "su" command) to type in "id" and hit return at the prompt - that will tell you explicitly if you are root or not. (That's the letter "i" followed by the letter "d" followed by the return key).

From the way you describe this, it is sounding like you lost root.

I gotta go watch part of the game. In the meantime, perhaps you should at least create a backup manually.

As I said, the simplest fix-up would be to get Superuser.apk/su or SuperSU/su re-installed into /system/app and /system/{x}bin/su (it seems that chainsDD and chainfire use different locations).

There might be floating around someplace a flashable zip file with this stuff in it - to be used for "lightly rooting" a stock ROM after a custom recovery is in place. But things have been in flux recently with both the SuperSU (chainfire) and Superuser (chainsDD) kits because of the JellyBean multi-user support, so the version you might need is important. So you would have to do the research to figure out where.

gotta go - good luck.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam75:
Thanks again.

Im watching Superbowl as well. I didnt grant Terminal access. I rebooted into recovery and restored to right after I rooted. SuperSu auto updated through the play store, and stated the binary need updated. I canceled that. TB and ROM manager are showing up in SuperSu. So now Im rebooting into recovery again to after I installed the Smooth Rom/Motley Kernal. I did make a backup of where SuperSu lost root. I now have three backups.

Question on installing the SuperSu apk file. I want to be sure I do it right, if needed. Download the file on my 7. it will go to my download folder. Move it to the system folder and open/run it? what do i do with the current SuperSu folder?

thanks again
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam75:
I went to my restore point after root and reinstalled 4.3 Smooth ROM Mkernel. I did not take the SuperSu update, (ill wait for the next update) and everything is fine TB an ROM manager working fine, did a backup in both.

Thanks for your help on this.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Dealing with .apk's is not that difficult - drop them into the correct place and reboot.

In Android, apps (.apk files) are stored in one of two places: /system/app or /data/app. It is even possible for two versions of an app to be on the phone - one in /system/app and one in /data/app; that is how upgrades of factory-installed apps happen: the pre-installed app is in /system/app... and never gets deleted (read-only filesystem), whereas update versions get dropped into /data/app. Generally you can just drop an .apk file into either of these locations, wipe the dalvik cache and reboot. During the android boot, these files are compiled into .dex objects in the dalvik-cache, and various version, consistency, rights and permissions are cross-checked.

Think of it this way: when you boot a new ROM for the first time, /data starts out completely empty. Everything needed to support each pre-installed app in /system/app gets created automatically during the android layer start-up.

The "su" native binary is a bit more complicated - it needs to be:

- owned by the user.group root.root

- be executable

- be setuid/setgid

Imagine that you had a copy of these two files on your "/sdcard". If you booted into the custom recovery, you could affect these changes like this:

C:\foo> adb shell

# mount # show what is already mounted

# mount /sdcard # if needed

# mount /system # if needed

# mv /system/app/SuperSU.apk /system/app/SuperSU.apk.old

# cp /sdcard/SuperSU.apk /system/app/SuperSU.apk

# mv /system/xbin/su /system/xbin/su.old

# cp /sdcard/su /system/xbin/su

# chown root.root /system/xbin/su

# chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su

# cd /

# umount /system

# exit

C:\foo>

*

As a practical matter, it is probably easier to just make sure to make a fresh backup if you are about to update the su binary - in case anything goes wrong. It might also be useful to use a root-aware file manager to remount the /system partition in rw mode prior to doing the "update su binary" procedure in the SuperSU app.

Good luck

* note that SuperSU and Superuser apps choose different locations for the su executable file - one uses /system/bin/su and the other /system/xbin/su. There might also be a symlink between these locations. Best policy is probably to examine a known-working installation to determine how to proceed.

I have read other people doing it so it should work fine. Do a search it has been discussed a few times.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spiralzz:
Flash the old bootloader, it doesn't matter. Bootloaders are device specific and not firmware specific. Make sure that you flash the one meant for your device. Flashing the wrong one will brick your device, only to be fixed by jtag/samsung service center.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Yes I know it is but you dont need old bootloader to do anything other reset counter. You can enter download/wake device on new bootloaders with USB jig.

If you have root and want to reset flash counter its much quicker to simply use Triangle Away then to flash bootloader and use USB jig.
[HTC Inspire 4G] xumixu:
My phone is discharging even when is turned off!

Besides it have high battery drain compared to my BravoC, which in stand by last for days.

This Inspire 4G last max 15 hours, changed the radio, and flashed it to reach that, before it lasted ~9 hours max. I'm talking in stand by, not even using it nor data/wifi/gps turned on. I have checked the processor use and it was in deepsleep most of the time.

Yesterday I fully charged it and inmediately turned it off. Today I tried to turn it on but is dead, completely drained. The battery is new and it does have the sufficient capacity, i mean is not a battery failure (checked it with a hobby charger).

I bought the phone on ebay, it has the volume up button dead, so I dissasembly it to if it can be fixed easily and found out that the phone was previously open. Also the screen seems to be a replacemente (a crappy one) since the light bleed in the dark state is high, alsio the light bleed at high angles. This would explain the high drain using it, but not the drain when is turned off.

Anyone have any idea of what it may be? maybe something not connected properly when it was repaired before or a short circuit anywhere?? or is a deeper failure and there's nothing that can be done?

I'm saving for a One X in the meanwhile but i'd like to fox this in the meanwhile since i won't be buying it anytime soon :(

Just bought an HTC Sensation off craigslist for $10, Said he couldn't get it to boot so I was wondering if anybody had any ideas why.

Here's what I can get to happen.

1. If I pull the battery then try to turn it on, orange light comes on screen come on for a second and then it turns off. When I plug it into a power source the same thing happens

2. if I hold volume down or up and press the power button, nothing happens on the screen but it vibrates, and continues vibrating, mind you the volume button is missing I'm using a pen to push the button.

3. Read that it could be the battery but I tried the battery in my HTC Inspire and it works fine.

Any ideas what to try next?

Also i get nothing when I plug it into a computer.
