[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cognitivedissonance:
Hi there, I'm trying to pull root directories like /system and /data without any luck. My purpose it to have them on my PC as a backup, and be able to browse them to pull out apps and pieces of data as necessary if it ever becomes necessary.

Device: Nexus 6P (North American version)

ROM: Stock 6.0.1 Rooted, using Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit and SuperSU

PC OS: Windows 7 PC (64 bit)

Adb is working properly and I can easily pull non-root directories like "/sdcard" and so on. I'd like to be able to backup the entire root directory ("/") or at least the child directories (like "/system" and "/data", etc.) Unfortunately, when I try

adb pull -p "/system" "C:\somewhere"

it skips a bunch of files, so I need to come up with a better method.

I've tried

adb root

and it tells me it's already running in root mode.

I try

adb remount

and it does this properly, but doesn't change the effects of all the commands I've tried.

When I run

adb shell

it enters shell and gives me # by default, so seemingly it is giving me su permission by default?

*** Oddly, when I enter "su" while in shell, it tells me "/sbin/sh: su: not found" which seems odd to me. I think it's possibly that SuperSU is installed as systemless root, or there's something else screwy here, so I guess I'm not sure how to proceed. Still, if that were case, why would adb already be running as root, and why would shell automatically give me the #?

Any help is appreciated!!

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mimo2008:
Hi all

My s8 is from Vodafone before i got an update weekend just gone i had problems with my Wi-Fi calling it worked but only problem was that no one could hear me told Vodafone about the problem and was told it be fixed in next update.

Well I get the update just recently but the problem i have now is that the Wi-Fi calling symbol flashes up for a second or two then goes off. I tried using my home internet with WiFi calling on and still won't connect even when my signal goes down to 1 bar still no WiFi calling i have tried resetting the phone but no luck.

So should i try once more and reset phone as a new one? Or is there something wrong with my software?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] drparvez:
Do you try hard reset from stock recovery if not try this.

The second option if this rom not working properly downgrade your previous version through Odin.

Before do anything make a full backup of your data and internal storage.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mimo2008:
Thanks for fast reply.

The problem is it has Vodafone software on there and I can't change it through Odin unless i flash another Rom which i don't want too. I will probably try one more reset and see what happens

On sammobile.com you can download a stock ROM for your country and your carrier. This won't void your warranty.

Then check again and if the issue persists, exchange the device to a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] chungdae:
I'd try a hard factory reset, download the update, then restore and see how that goes. When I first received the S8 I noticed lagging and stuttering after I upgraded I still noticed it and did a reset. After the update all the stuttering and lagging completely went away

[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kgoerbig:
I own a LeEco Le Max 2. Currently on RR. It seems as though wifi calling is a lost cause at this point for custom ROMs until LeEco releases source code. So my question is this:

What is the possibility creating a patch zip that integrates/adds setup options to use existing free voip services (ie google, facebook, skype) to fail-over to the user chosen voip service via the setup (Like hangouts, GV), so in the event of signal loss, but WiFi is present, calls can still be made. Particularly, using the integrated dialer in android without having to open said voip service's app separate to make the call.

**I know that EUI can do this, when available through your provider. I just would like to see a failover option similar in custom non-stock ROMs.

[Android General] MiroBiala:
Here is how I succeeded to enable USB debugging (also adb and remote view) on Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with broken screen.

1. Following the DeathDrifterz's advice I was able to set the device in recovery mode with ROOT access and adb :

2. In other forum I found tutorial how to enable USB debugging from recovery with root access :

Connect the device to Mac or PC in recovery mode. (I had to map the process in my mind as the screen was broken).

Now open terminal/CMD in computer and go to platform-tools/. type and enter ./adb devices to check if the device is connected in recovery mode.

To mount the respective directories, type:

./adb shell mount data
./adb shell mount system

Get the persist.sys.usb.config file in your system using:

./adb pull /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config /Your directory

Now open that file in a texteditor and edit it to mtp,adb and save.

Now push the file back in the device:

./adb push /your-directory/persist.sys.usb.config /data/property

Get the build.prop file:

./adb pull /system/build.prop /your-directory

Add these lines:

persist.service.adb.enable=1
persist.service.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb

Push build.prop back into the device:

./adb push /your-dir/build.prop /system/

This way you enabled USB debugging on your device. But you still can't connect. Why? Because it asks for RSA verification. If you could view your display then you could easily tap on YES to authorize the device.

3. Skipping RSA verification :

The ADB keys (after authorization) are saved in /data/misc/adb/adb_keys, so I have one Samsung Galaxy S3 with working display which already authorized my PC.

So I got the adb_keys file from it. I connected the Samsung Galaxy S3 to my PC and use :

./adb pull /data/misc/adb/adb_keys

Then reconnected the Note 4 and pushed the file in it:

./adb push /your-dir/adb_keys /data/misc/adb/adb_keys

4. Reboot! And Voila: the devices boots normally and adb connects without asking for verification.

After that I used Vysor chrome extension and Vysor apk to view the device screen and act with the device.

I installed the apk with :

./adb install apk_name.apk

It works! With the first method.

I have Samsung Galaxy s5, lineage os 14.1,

After my screen broke, I couldn't see my device through adb devices, no matter what driver I have installed - and believe me I've tried all the methods.

Then I've installed CWM recovery, adb recognized it in devices but I wasn't able to pull sdcard with adb pull command in Windows 7. I got access denied.

Then I saw this post and I got access to sdcard!

Works like a charm on my OnePlus One with lineage 14.1

Just want to mention that if you have problems mounting

/data

and/or

/system

I got help from this post: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/help/mount-adb-t1107545

Basically, the dirty solution I found with help from kaukassus post was:

1.

adb mount

- to view name of available mounts and identify /system and /data

2.

adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/[U]mmcblk0p28[/U]

underlined is the part that is different

- to mount the data folder. Do the same for system. Then I just followed the steps from this tutorial.

The part with the RSA verification I resolved with a little help from https://gist.github.com/varhub/7b9555cdd1e5ad785ffde2300fcfd0bd

I had the same problem and fixed it in TWRP doing this command:

Note: Use this command only if your /data/ partition has the ext4 file system. There are some other similar commands for other file systems, but i don't remember they.

adb shell make_ext4fs /dev/block/[B]mmcblk0p20[/B]

(Bold part can change depending of your device)

Then just do a normal wipe and flash again the ROM.

hi mate

I can't get over devices unauthorised problem using method 2. it appears i am prevented to do anything with the phone as my mac is not rsa verified. mounting was rejected

adb: device unauthorized.

this adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set

Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.

Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.

i wonder how were you able to achieve all of this when wundershare doctor is able to set adb status sideload thats it. without authorization i can't execute any command.

Hi,

I have a Samsung A70 phone (model sm-a705fn), in which the phone screen broke and i think touch screen doesn't work (It doesn't support usb-c to hdmi and i think nor OTG plug). OEM is locked and cannot put custom recovery and I want to enable USB debugging to use this tool to manualy control my phone in which is disabled. I tried the method that @MiroBiala mentioned:

on paragraph 1) but i couldn' find support for my phone device (so I scratched that). The 2) paragraph doesn't work for me cause the OEM is locked and phone is not rooted. Also, when doing

adb devices

the phone doesn't get listed. I tried searching several methods but either my device isn't listed or it uses USB Debugging/OEM unlocked. What can I do to enable USB debugging or disable OEM lock to flash custom recovery to enable usb debugging via adb? If none of the above exists, is there another way to gain screen access and touch access?
[Android General] Sparklingtube2:
if you stil need help, boot to recovery, i suppose its stock, then vol down 2 times, then power button, then adb devices, if you cant use adb shell, install an unofficial TWRP recov using odin.
[Android General] Narkkk:
Throw away account to explain my case and how I solved it, hope it will help someone.

My case was: broken screen, but touch screen was functional. Since the touchscreen was functional, and putting the unlock code is hard to do when you're blind, I didn't want to go to recovery mode and reboot afterwards in case it didn't work.

First, I put my phone to loud mode, to hear what I was doing on the screen. From there, I connected the phone to my computer, and blindly tried to catch the "USB connected" android popup/notification. After a few hours, I managed to click on it and change the connection settings to "Photo sharing" (pure luck, I mostly was unsure about what I was clicking on).

From there, I could access photos from my phone. I used this to navigate to the settings by doing the following:

- take a screenshot

- the screenshot is saved on the phone, thus is accessible from my computer

- the screenshot shows me a snapshot of the screen, and I use this to navigate through settings.

I simply took a screenshot on every menu and every button I was pressing, to be sure I was pressing the right things. So, scroll down to fully show the notification panel. On below right side is the "settings" button. Clicked on it, then navigated to "About my phone", clicked on the build number a few times to get developer options enabled.

Issue here: it asked me my code (the one I put to unlock my phone), but no screenshot can be taken here. I used scrcpy with otg mode to use my computer keyboard to enter the code, pressed ENTER, and got my developer mode enabled. Then simply navigated to dev options, enabled USB debugging, and adb worked just fine from there.

The only thing I wanted was recovering my 2FA codes, and from USB Debugging with ADB I was able to retrieve the files necessary to run some code from this repository, that can easily export TOTP: https://github.com/puddly/android-otp-extractor .

Hope this screenshot/poking around technique helped anyone with broken screen, good luck !
