First things first This Forum has a LOT of different places to post so if this is in the wrong place please dont yell at me, just kindly assist me in moving it to the appropriate location. I think once we get this solved it might be a huge step for the Android community.

OK So long story short G2's digitizer is dead, glass shattered, i can still see the screen and i'm getting a USB OTG cable tomorrow, that will make all of this completely null and void(maybe wednesday). (ALSO Caps is being used for things i think are important, i'm going to be posting this in a few places so i need it to be universal, i hope you all understand)

BUT i still want to try my damndest to get into this phone and backup files, JUST BECAUSE I BELIEVE I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO.(or at the very least "able")

So for those as adventurous as i am, I'd like to hear any suggestions on how to get access to the device (MOUNT STORAGE) in its current state. Details below:

-Sprint ls980

-Digitizer is shattered

-lcd is completely fine

-all buttons work (theres only three lol)

-i have sound and vibration

-wireless storage is off(turned it off right before it fell from my hands to the douchebag floor below)

-USB DEBUGGING(although i distinctly remember enabling it many times) Is NOT ON. (Or at least adb will not recognize the device.)

-adb WILL recognize the device in SIDELOAD MODE

-no custom recovery

-no custom roms

-literally purely stock

-And of course USB Connection is set to CHARGE ONLY(i didnt do this, but apparently it remembers your LAST choice and uses that as default, stupid lg, why let me chose the option to "ask every time", if you're going to default to my last choice anyway?)

Now i really just want to access my pictures(there's a pic of my mom that i took and she REALLY wants it and bugs me daily about it)(You can blame the G2's amazing camera)

Now here's what i HAVE TRIED:

-ADB

-moborobo sp? (some program)(and a few others like it)

-android control

-fastboot

-download mode

-tried making my own OTG cable....failed miserably (i'd upload a pic...but yea...)

-adb via wifi

-tried flashing a custom recovery, but USB debugging wasnt enabled so it failed

-_-

-had the idea of using chrome Remote desktop, but i cant connect to it in its current state lol

-thought about bluetooth, but my lame laptop doesnt have bluetooth (i'd be willing to explore this option tho, sounds fun)

-nothing "illegal"......yet.....totally kidding, i want to be able to do this as legally as possible

So brothers and sisters, does anyone have any options they'd like to try out?

If we try anything CRAZY is there a way to force the phone to make a backup?

Is there a way to disassemble the phone and connect it straight to the onboard storage?

i'm just throwing ideas out there.

Thanks in advance!!
[General Questions and Answers] areidmeade:
and yes i'm a new poster, but i've been lurking on these forums since 2010

And i'll add this, because i know someone is thinking it right now, "Why didnt you root your g2?" Simple answer is this:

I wanted to experience Android in its most Basic state, Getting people to move from any other platform to Android is not easy, When you show them your modded out custom g2 it scares them, but the second they see my phone completely stock and realize how great Android is they start regretting their iPhone purchase or even heir midrange Android purchase. My G@ and Nexus 7 in their "Vanila" state have Wowed many people and converted longtime iphone users. Solving this problem would only aid in that effort.

Thanks again guys.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonkex:
Hi all,

I'm trying to install Cyanogemod on my i9100 (S2 intl). I'm quite experienced with flashing, rooting and Cyanogenmod in general as I've had it on both my Nexus 7 and my S3 for years. For the S3 I flash it via Heimdall cmd line; quite simple. For the S3, the recovery downloads as an img and just works. But for the S2, Clockworkmod's Recovery downloads as a zip, and not one of the tutorials explain how to use it. Do I flash the whole zip, just part of it or do I need to convert the zip to something else? And is kernel the correct partition to use?

The wiki guide doesn't give any help whatsoever. Everyone talks about zImage, but no where can I find what this is. There's a link on the wiki to download an img but it's broken and I can't find the image anywhere else. I think the wiki needs updating.

Drat, I can't put links in yet. I did have "wiki guide" linked.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonkex:
I also posted my question to the Cyanogenmod forums, and they replied more quickly. This surprised me a bit; I may be a new account, but I've been a huge fan of XDA-Developers for a long time, and I was expecting a super quick answer. Maybe I posted in the wrong section for this, haha :)

For future reference, and to provide an answer for this question (and for ways around simple problems after that too):

forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/96781-how-to-flash-latest-cwm-recovery-via-heimdall/

Turns out I was using the wrong kind of file for flashing via Heimdall. So glad my S3 was easier than this to flash Cyanogenmod.

So problem solved :) Any questions, I would be happy to elaborate.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
1) This phone was released over 3 yrs ago, the S2 forums simply don't see the traffic they saw even 12 mths ago; 9 hrs is nothing.

2) Also, very very few people here use Heimdall as most are running Windoze machines. On Windoze you use Odin, there's no need to complicate things by attempting to use Heimdall.

So that's why you ended up with the first world 'problem' of not getting a response after 9 hrs.

You can elaborate on exactly what you did if you want; you never know, someone might come here one day & actually search for info rather than posting a thread purely because they can and expecting an immediate response.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genialt:
Very good! Thanks!

btw, did you ever solved the wifi problema?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonkex:
You're very welcome :)

What wifi problem? I've had no issues with the wifi (although, having said that, I don't believe I've actually tested the wifi with the phone since we're just using it as a 3G tether).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] 88exp88:
Hello all I'd like to preface this by saying I have a S4 but a sprint variant

My friend wanted me to root his phone, so I began the rooting process by following a guide. With Towel Root I easily rooteed and then I installed SafeStrap recovery. I then promptly made a backup of the stock touchwiz he was running. But things quickly went bad when I wiped and installed the google edition rom. He said he wanted to go back to touchwiz so I tried to guide him through the steps of restoring. We went to the restore folder and there was no backup to be found. Sadly we had already wiped his phone. He then said that he removed the battery and cannot get the safestrap splash screen to show up to enter recovery. So long story short I want to get him back to stock touchwiz. He said he can enter download mode so thats a start, but can anyone guide me through the steps. I would be most appreciative.

If you dont want to read the test above just read this: Help me get an att phone back to stock. It was running NC1 before it was rooted using towelroot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jmjoyas:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] walnoj:
I'm having a very similar problem, except I'm on an AT&T model Galaxy S4. I started from the latest official firmware with NC1. I used TowelRoot to root it, and then I used SafeStrap recovery to put the GPE ROM onto it. It's not working well for me, so I tried to go back to the stock ROM, and I'm unable to do so. I can't find the AT&T Galaxy S4 I337 4.4.2 ROM anywhere for download. I suspect that's why it's failing on me in Odin. But otherwise, I'm in the exact same situation as OP. Any suggestions on where I can find it?

---------- Post added at 01:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 AM ----------

Hey, OP. I just got mine fixed. You need the 4.4.2 stock ROM to get started. Odin crashes because you started with a higher bootloader version. You mentioned you're on Sprint. I went here http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=f...5d6e26f7d801cd811bfd656e8a1e91f975f6f406c94fc

And downloaded that file, then used Odin. Didn't even need the pit file for it. See if that'll help out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vlx600d:
Seriously. Maybe some monetary compensation could light some devs fire for this thing. Me personally, I'd be willing to put up 50 for root of 4.4+ builds, 100 for boot loader unlock. Anyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deeked:
I think the best bet would be to get a hold of a Verizon Note 2 donor and send it off to Geohot (George Hotz). He could get it unlocked I'm sure. He does it for fame and the challenge, not money.

Is that for the 8.4 or 10.5?

[Galaxy Tab S General] xRevilatioNx:
The OTA update I received was only a 36 MB File. We talking about the same thing? Because this is nowhere near 2 Gbs

After Update:

Before Update:
[Galaxy Tab S General] suzook:
I think the nf6 is an older build
[Galaxy Tab S General] xRevilatioNx:
The build number ended "NF8" on June 18th ( 4.4.2_0016). It's now "NFB" June 30th (4.4.2_18) The kernel also changed.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Well now that I'm rooted gonna wait on some roms before flashing an OTA that might lose root.
[Galaxy Tab S General] TonyBigs:
Perhaps it is via OTA. Via Kies it was 2GB.
[Galaxy Tab S General] xRevilatioNx:
What Is kies and where do I find it?

The OTA said it was for "platform and stability" improvements. Maybe they tweaked the TouchWiz, that some owners say, was causing some stutter/lag.
[Galaxy Tab S General] chukwu77:
My 8.4 Just updated and its Build Number is ending in ANF9. Seems as though the performance has picked up a lot, no longer any lag when swiping left to the quick briefing page and calender page. It actually feels really nice right now. Good Job Sammy!

Also looks like RAM has been optimized quite a bit. with all default apps running im sitting at 1.3G free space. I never checked really until now, but hey whens the last time you used a samsung device and had more than 5-600MB of RAM free by default anyways lol!
[Galaxy Tab S General] simacca:
No update on mine yet (BTU). Still on NF7. Least I have something to look forward too. Am hoping they tweak the battery to last longer with normal useage.
[Galaxy Tab S General] xRevilatioNx:
Can anyone, who download the 2GB file from KIES , screenshot their system info? I want to see if it differs from mine. Thank you..
[Galaxy Tab S General] gottahavit:
I got the update today, I can confirm that touchwiz performance does seem improved. It also seemed to greatly improved my wifi, I am now able to stream full blue ray HD wireless with little to no hiccups.

Beyond that general system performance seems about the same and benchmarks have not changed.

Definitely a good update, not sure if I hosed myself in terms of root though.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Well considering the fact we have no idea when anyone will ever cook off a rom for us I went ahead and ran the update. Can't really notice any difference but then again I wasn't running TouchWiz anyway. Of course now I no longer have root.

Wondering if we need a brand new root with this update?
[Galaxy Tab S General] gottahavit:
Yeah I hadn't rooted yet, but will want to eventually.

Definitely seems to be mostly around touchwiz, curious if others see the wifi streaming improvement. Before the update I needed bump plex down to 12mbit and bsplayer wouldn't stream anything smooth, now I have plex running at 20mbit and bsplayer can play compatible videos directly even full blue ray h.264 videos.

I can also confirm that memory usage in default state is considerably lower, though not sure that's of much import given how android allocates memory.

Was hoping the floating multi window for the pro would show up, but no luck
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
There may be something to the improved WiFi speeds and streaming. I notice that YouTube videos load pretty much instantaneously and stream without hiccup. Dunno, maybe placebo effect but does seem quite good.

Update: Confirmed improved streaming. Cranked up Star Trek Into Darkness on Netflix. It started much faster than previously and full HD quality resolved in about half the time. Pleased.
[Galaxy Tab S General] suzook:
Just reflash the original cf auto root.
[Galaxy Tab S General] erm1001:
Update to the latest version via Kies. Lost root but the previous root method still work for the 10.5.
[Galaxy Tab S General] gottahavit:
Touchwiz is so much better I've abandoned go launcher and gone back to touchwiz, my scrolling widgets are much faster in touchwiz than go launcher now.

Glad to hear root still works. I'll be rooting as soon as I'm past my 45 day return period

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eknee1417:
In a sticky situation right now. My phone just died on Verizon and I need a new phone. Unfortunately I'm still under contract for another 9 months so I have to pay full price for a new phone or I can jump to Tmobile and have them pay my ETF but then I have to buy a phone from them. I don't want to spend more then $350 on something and I want to be able to unlock it and use it with AT&T at some point.

I can pick up the Note 2 as a refurb for $344 or I can get a Nexus 4 for $324. I guess what I'm wondering is whether or not the Note 2 is worth spending that much on?? Should I just ride out my contract for 9 months and get my old phone fixed (Razr Maxx HD $200 to fix)? Is there another phone I should consider?

Any thoughts appreciated.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuromusha38:
Nexus 4 for $342?? I can't even sell my brand new Nexus 4 for $180 AUD.

I would not get a refurb Note II for $344, it's not worth it. You can get brand new for a bit more online.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eknee1417:
If I pay $200 to get out of my contract with Verizon I can get anything. I'm looking at jumping to Tmobile since they'll cover the ETF cost. Only catch is I have to buy a phone from them. So whats a good Tmobile phone that will work on ATT under $350? I'm trying to do this as cheap as possible. Otherwise I would just cancel for $200 and get a nexus 5 for $400.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric-Mod:
Hi there,

YES it is still worth buying the Note 2. I had both phones, Nexus 4 and Note 2 and the Nexus 4, compared to the Note 2, was garbage. Nexus 4s battery is small (mAh), display colors were washed out, the speaker was completely crap when listening to music, etc. That's just my experience.

Better get the Note 2 :D :)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eknee1417:
Okay so price of the note 2 refurb'd w/tax and shipping is about $330. I know I can buy brand new on Amazon for roughly $60 more but I have to buy from Tmobile if I want my ETF covered and they only sell a refurb'd note 2.

I'll probably go this route then unless there are any other suggestions. Thanks!

Thanks everyone! Definitely helped make this decision much easier than I thought it would be. My note 2 arrives today and then I'll active it with T-mobile. I plan on unlocking it after the 40 day wait period is up with T-mobile and bringing it over to AT&T. From my research that shouldn't be an issue as T-mobile and AT&T share all the same bands outside of one that AT&T uses for 4G LTE. Curious to know if anyone has done this previously?

On another note (no pun intended :laugh:), I've been looking into installing a custom ROM once I get it. I love cyanogenmod but curious if there are other recommendations I should consider? This may need to be in another thread so I can move it if needed.
