Instead of

adb pull

try

mkdir C:\Android-Recovered-Files
adb exec-out "cat /sdcard/*" > "C:\Android-Recovered-Files"

or

mkdir C:\Android-Recovered-Files
adb exec-out "dd if /sdcard" > "C:\Android-Recovered-Files\recovered.iso"
[General Questions and Answers] Centity:
Thanks for replying.

I tried the commands the ex-out "cat" returns if the directory exists or not the latter one creates a recovery ISO- but they are all 15 bytes in size.

These are the commands I tried since I'm on a mac:

user$ adb exec-out "dd if /sdcard" > /Applications/android/test/recovered.iso
user$ adb exec-out "dd if /storage" > /Applications/android/test/recovered2.iso
user$ adb exec-out "dd if /dev" > /Applications/android/test/recovered3.iso

The DF results for the device are as follows:

I tried this on a different (working Samsung) android device with similar results. An ISO file is generated but on the other device the SDcard directory generates a 957KB ISO file which seems small
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
As I can see there was a typo in my previous post

Line

adb exec-out "dd if /sdcard" > "C:\Android-Recovered-Files\recovered.iso"

must be

adb exec-out "dd if=/sdcard" > "C:\Android-Recovered-Files\recovered.iso"

Equal sign was left out. Sorry for this.
[General Questions and Answers] Centity:
That command seems to do the same action. It creates an empty ISO file.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
As your penultimate post shows a partition mounted as /sdcard does NOT exist on your device.

Thought you were smart enough to determine the correct partition's name to get dumped. :)

[General Questions and Answers] Centity:
I tried "/", "*", "/system/", "/dev/", "/Storage/", "/mnt/" all with the same results. If that's the directory how do I identify the partition name associated with the DF results directory?
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
I think I now know why dumping a partition doesn't work at you:

1. Android isn't rooted: dd must be run as root.

2. The partition to get dumped isn't mounted as RW.

Hence to dump /data partition you'ld run

adb devices
adb shell "su -c 'mount -o rw,remount -t auto /'"
adb exec-out "su -c 'dd if=/dev/block/dm-8'" > "C:\Android-Recovered-Files\recovered.iso"

FYI:

I've a self-written Android-Backup-Tool what perfectly does the job
[General Questions and Answers] Centity:
Unfortunately I don't think that I can install your backup tool in my device's current state, correct?

I'm receiving an error for the 2nd command:

/system/bin/sh: su: inaccessible or not found

The device is unlocked and USB debug is on. From what I read it looks like su doesn't work unless it's rooted either.

Hey, thank you for the suggestion. I wasn't able to get it to work with "by-Name" but was able to get this:

To be honest, I'm not sure what I'm looking at here... how can I use this info?
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
As you can see both "ls" commands you applied miserably failed due to fact that the named partitions simply don't exist.

the command miserably failed it it work it should look like this .. also what are you trying to backup anyway ??
[General Questions and Answers] Centity:
I'm trying to recover anything that I could from a soft bricked pixel 3. Mostly I'd like to recover my photos/videos/documents that I never backed up to a cloud/other device. I can access some of the settings on the phone and it looks like the images are there - but looks like all of the ADB commands to help me access this data fail.

I'm wondering if this is some kind of encryption/decryption failure.

Long story short - one day I woke up and without any sign the phone was just stuck on "Pixel is starting". I tried deleting apps from the settings menu, clearing cache, but can't access anything on the device no matter what I try.

I'm waiting until March's android updates come out since I can still side-load newer versions of the OS, but am not holding out much hope at this point.

My phone was not rooted and OEM flashing is blocked.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] zalozhed:
I turn my BT on and connect Mogul to MP3 outlet using the standard splitter (miniUSB/2.5 mm) to listen some music in my car. When I receive a phone call it first comes through my BT for 2 sec and then switches to the car speakers (another words - headset outlet). The same happens if I try to make a call. My only solution for now is to unplug a splitter and then answer a phone call.

It doesn’t seem to be a BT set specific because I’ve tried a few already.

I have 6.1 stock ROM and looking for help to resolve this issue.

[Honor 10 Questions & Answers] realLifeForce:
Hi there,

another thread about a dying phone. Maybe someone has had a similiar issue.

Until yesterday everything worked fine. Then the phone randomly turned off and wouldnt boot again. Later that night, when I tried again to turn it on it worked normally again for like an hour before shutting off again.

The next morning I tried to turn it on and everthing seems to be fine again. Works normally for like 8 hours before dying again.

And since then it didnt turn on again.

The weird thing is though that when connecting it to a charger the red LED blinks twice and the green charging icon appears for a second before looping this process.

I tried getting into system recovery while connected to a PC but same behaviour. It shows the white recovery screen for a second before turning off again.

Does anybody have an idea what might be causing this?

Thanks

EDIT: Apparently the battery was dead. A new battery solved the issue!

Here is a video of it trying to get into system recovery:

which rom have the camera for the best quality picture (i wanna take picture of my newborn son everyday but camera quality of v6.1 is so poor)?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] S.V.I:
the camera quality is going to be poor. 1.3mpx (duh)

to make it auto adjust for lighting: change the refresh rate to 50-60Htz. then it wil work better in dark lighting. That usualy fixes the issues most people have.

Some roms have camera 3.3 ... there is an issue I noticed with that package: when you change the setting to "superfine" from the original setting the quality gets worse. ... sometimes.

Change the refresh rate and see if that works, but dont bother trying to switch it to anything more than 3.1mpx (1024x768) all it will do is make the picture encode larger with awful quality.

Basically what I'm saying is xiaomi definitely made 2 version of camera system for this phone and the reviewers version is way above retail or at least my retail.

I can't use the recovery mode because the times i reached it the phone turns off; there's a mode to block phone's turning off? maybe using some buttons?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuckyMalone:
can you give more information? Did you unlock the bootloader? Did you install another OS? Did you use Magisk?

Or was it a stock image with locked bootloader? And failed on its own? Its possible there was an OTA update but I cant tell with the info you supplied.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tatarimokke:
Hi, I just update the software from the provider (i think is a OTA update, a normal update).... and then the problem appears, it takes a few of days to show the bootloop; i dont do anything else.

Now im triying to flashing the rom but it's SO ****ing difficult, because the phone restarts always, but not completely.

I tried to use the default recovery mode, but the phone restarts...

I was thinking about some file to block the bootloop while flashing? it that possible?

Using the flash i just do download, and to finish the process it left just 3 files: supersu, cache and userdata, but it restaaaaarts :C ... i tried the option "upgrade firmware" but formating stops at 88% XD

I was thinking about a full format, it could be worse, no?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xamine01:
YES, after that loop of boot problem,it came in normal after flash by SP flash(firmware upgrage),, then problem arose again,flash secondly by SP flash(formart all and download),this time it start normal but with another problem(TEE and google unwriten key,lost of IMEIs),i decide unlock bootloader and root it by magisk (follows umidigi comunity tutorial)bt all fail,it remain loop of booting it take more than 1mins show bison last log before start and shotdown again,,,off botton respond very slow on power on.

Hi there, I just recently bought a Ticwatch GTX, thinking it was installed with Wear OS, but turns out it was installed with a proprietary OS made by Mobvoi (I know... I'm really not careful). The reason why I bought the watch in the first place was to create Wear OS apps with it, but after buying it, I can't even find out how to enable ADB debugging... I've tried clicking each item listed in the Settings page (there is no Build number) 10 times, and none of them triggered a response or a toast message. Any help is appreciated.

Hello,

Thanks for the OS, it runs smoothly except for a bug I have daily now : the gesture buttons stop working and I have to reboot the phone to get it back. Does anyone encounter the same issue ?

I'll try to reflash everything to see if it comes back. It started to happen after almost one week of use.

please add cherishOS 2.9 with GAPPS
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] rafid0028:
I didn't flash any firmware. I really don't know why that's mentioned there. I think every vince device was on latest firmware during miui updates. Usually people put custom roms once the official updates are no longer available. So, that should mean those last officially updated devices are almost always on latest firmware before turing over to any custom rom. Probably that's why didn't need any firmware flashing. That's just my theory, I really don't know. Just wipe everything and flash the rom.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Teuf666:
I tried flashing again, the bug came back. So I flashed the cherishos 2.9 and the bug disappeared. The counterpart is that the APNs disappeared (it's mentionned in the bug of the rom but it's fixable by retyping them by hand).
