Wait - what?!! He was talking about apps2ext. If you're using what came with the rom and haven't created an ext partition then you're using the apps2fat method. In which case you can copy over the files.

Or were you talking about apps2ext? If so, how did you get it done (pm me w/ answer so we don't hijack this thread)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liquid602:
Well, my son's mother had just sold me her extra vibrant, which included the 2gb sd card that came with it. But before she did that, she moved all her pictures and movies onto her own vibrant. That same day, before she could move all those pictures and videos onto an brand new sd card, she accidentally dropped her phone and the screen got destroyed, as in it won't turn on and is just black now.

Ordinarily we wouldn't have cared because she was going to send in that phone anyways and cancel her contract, unfortunately the pictures and videos she moved onto the phone's memory were of our first and only son, about a years worth. When he was born we didn't have a camera or camcorder, so the phone camera was our only way of capturing those early days, so they are extremely precious to us.

I'm sure it's just the screen that is broken, not the rest of the phone, so if there is any way to FORCE MOUNT the phone to my computer, please shed some light to that.

Or if I could do it through ADB using the PUSH/PULL commands, which I'm sure I could, I just need some instruction on how to do that. I'd want to pull the whole picture/video directory onto my desktop or something along those lines.

I have a PC and a MAC which I could use, so PLEASE! if there is any way I could recover those pictures/videos, please help out and let me know.

Thank you A LOT in advance
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbbb:
So from reading this the precious pictures are NOT on your external sd card (the small black card) or internal sd card, the one you can pull out. If the pics and vids are on either of those you can just take them out and buy a device where you can just plug those cards into your computer. Otherwise just get the screen replaced... I'm sure a Tmobile or even maybe a Best Buy store at a mall could replace the screen for a small fee so you can get your pics back.

OR, I'm pretty sure a tmobile store has some special equipment to extract data from your phone.. Just gotta ask!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liquid602:
you're correct,

she moved them from the SD card to the phone's memory when she sold me the phone. She dropped the phone before she could move them back to a fresh SD card.

The thing with that is, she was going to send in that phone because it had a small defect, (I bought the extra phone which came from the insurance or whatever because she was going to cancel the contract with the 200$ i gave her the new phone and start up a new contract), so we have until Wednesday to recover the pictures, because she has to send in the phone then.

And thats a good idea, I'll stop by tomorrow at a t-mobile store and check,

but if i could still do it tonight that would be awesome!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blasian shadows:
hmm is the screen shattered or just black? also when you cut the phone on does it ring and stuff? if the digitizer still works then you can just press home,so that you know your at the home screen. then connect the it to the computer. then make the gesture that pulls the notification bar, then connect your vibrant as well so that you can tell what part of the screen needs to be touched on her vibrant to mount the sd to the computer. that should work. i had a psp with a cracked screen but i was still able to navigate because i knew where everything was by heart lol.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liquid602:
shattered and black lol, and i believe she told me it doesn't ring anymore, i'd have to ask her in the morning. But yeah thats the first thing I tried when i went over today to try and fix it, which is why I'm thinking using the ABD commands in the only way to do it now
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
You need to enable USB debugging if it wasn't done previously to use ADB.

I hope you recover your pics. If worst comes to worst you will need to repair the phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blasian shadows:
Yea you might as well get it repaired. Those pics are priceless
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drewstein:
Here's my attempt. When she moved those pics and vids from the 2g card they don't permanently erase so you could still use recovery software to get those pics/vids off the card again.

I'll bet that's cheaper than repairing the phone too.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
Not a bad idea and worth a shot. I have had great success pulling files from a hard drive with pin 1 missing and a corrupt fat table, using Easy Recovery Pro. That (windows based) app is also very useful for retrieving deleted files, as long as the source wasn't formatted. As far as using adb, usb debugging would have to be enabled as previously mentioned. Also, if the phone doesn't ring, are you able to tell if it actually turns on? Without power and usb debugging, adb is useless.

On the off chance, does she backup her pics with Lookout?

Good luck getting your files back.

You can try android commander. Its worth a shot. I had a similar situation before I knew about odin my phone was in a continuous boot loop and couldn't mount the sd card, I used android commander to pull some pictures that needed for my work. I just had to make sure it the device was recognized through adb. Good luck.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
Just a thought, why don't you use the screen from your Vibrant and put it on hers. That will A.confirm it's the screen and B. get your pictures.

+1 on android commander if you don't want to do the hardware swap. If your phone is actually coming on just no screen it will pick it up. Wait, don't you have to be in debugging mode for that though?

Seems your best bet is the hardware swap.

[Epic 4G General] mazspeed:
Hey guys, I'm very much a newbie here so bear with me. I upgraded to the 2.21version about a month ago when some upgrade came out. Thinking it was an official upgrade I did it. I flashed the phone and it seemed to work ok. The problem is the camera doesn't work rendering my bar code not to work either. It seems ok other than that item, but would really like to get the camera up and running, and since Samsung doesn't seem to have the real 2.2 upgrade any time in the near future, I would like to fix this without flashing it again. What can I do to fix? Phone info is Model number sph-d700 baseband version s:d700.0.55.dk28 kernel version 2.6.32.9 fyoyo.dk28

Wow, lot to try and decipher. I'm not sure how or what I should do. everything works but the camera. Is this a bad build or bad software download?
[Epic 4G General] oshizzle1991:
well, are you rooted? it might just be the build. there are alot of different 2.2.1 builds out there for the epic. if you are rooted, you can just flash another rom, it will fix the issue. if you arent rooted, you will have to follow that guide to get back to stock. and i know its alot to decipher, but just take it ONE STEP AT A TIME. i would search for youtube videos on how to do it too, thats what helps me the most.
[Epic 4G General] mazspeed:
Ok, sorry for the dumb question, but how do I know if I am rooted?
[Epic 4G General] oshizzle1991:
download the app "superuser" from the market, then download "android terminal emulator" from the market, open the terminal emulator, type "su" hit enter, and if you are rooted, a pop up will come up and say "blabbity blah is asking for superuser permission, accept? hit accept. if it worked, you should see this in the terminal emulator now "#" without the quotes, that is how you know if you are rooted. if nothing happens in terminal emulator, you are not rooted.
[Epic 4G General] mazspeed:
If there is a newer version, I would not mind going to that, if there is. I did do this about a month ago.
[Epic 4G General] oshizzle1991:
even if there is, you would have to go back to stock and then flash it through odin man
[Epic 4G General] mazspeed:
It said "not found" in the blue screen of su. I can only post every 5 min, bear with me, and thanks again for the help. What's next? Ok, going back to stock would be fine till samsung finally goes to a new version. If I go back to stock, will I lose everything? I did download Ti backup and it doesn't work. It says "please verify if the rom is rooted". And then it doesn't work. I guess I could have checked there to see if it was rooted.

Check this link

Here this link should give you a better understanding of how to go back to stock.

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SPH-D700#Odin_Stock_Flashing

Look under the section for odin stock flashing. And btw DK28 is not officially by samsung. It is a leaked build and they do recommend against not installing it since it is not finalized. The current most official kernerl is DI18 so you should grab the tar.md5 for that rom version and flash back to stock using odin. If you still want to try unofficial froyo roms make sure you use the one click root and recovery method to make sure you are rooted after going back to stock DI18. Then you are free to flash any froyo roms you want. Hope this helps man.
[Epic 4G General] oshizzle1991:
my understanding of odin is that in order to update builds, you have to downgrade. like 3/4's of the roms here make you unroot/downgrade, then re-root in order to install them.
[Epic 4G General] hgvidal:
I have been flashing for a while and never had to downgrade to update builds. If you have already flashed to the leaked stock DK28 you can install as many DK28 based roms as you want through clockwork mod as long as you wipe data/cache. You are definitely right in regards that he should odin back to stock Eclair DI18 since he is having camera issues because that definitely might help as it has helped me many times.
[Epic 4G General] mazspeed:
Ok, is there a newer build than what I have now, and if I can run it, how do I do that? Thanks again guys for all the help. I really do appreicate it.

I don't mind trying newer builds, and since this build is well over a month old, I would think there would be newer ones, maybe?
[Epic 4G General] hgvidal:
Okay i think you may be a little confused. There is no newer build. There is ONE stock DK28 leaked build which is what i assume you have. Now there are custom roms BASED on that leaked build which have various customizations and whatnot. You are more than welcome to flash a custom rom of your liking but they are not "newer builds", just customized roms based from the ONE leaked DK28 build.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Your best bet is to go back to di18 and wait on the ota. Stay there a little bit and do some more reading and learn a little more before you start doing this stuff. Learn about rooting and flashing roms. If you didn't know if you were rooted or not then most likely you were not. Use Odin to go back to di18. I know ut sucks losing all your data but in doesn't take that long to set your phone back up. Good luck.
[Epic 4G General] timothylaws:
This guy is right. What you have is most likely the stock version of the DK28 build. That version is known to have many issues. Being on that stock build of DK28 according to the info you posted, you are welcome to flash a customized DK28 ROM that has addressed these issues.

Again, you will not be required to downgrade your build in order to flash any customized ROM based on the same build (DK28)

For practical purposes, to flash (install) a custom ROM you WILL be required to be "rooted" and install a program onto your phone that gives you the ability to flash. The program that is universally used is called "ClockworkMod Recovery" and employs a simple "one-click" method to install onto your phone. This one-click method also gives you the root access on your phone that is required to flash a ROM. You can find the program and instructions on how to install it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770388

Customized ROMs can be found in the Epic 4G Android Development section of this forum. Note that you will ONLY be looking for ROMs based on your DK28 build. ALL of these ROMs will require you (on your stock DK28 build) to do a complete wipe of the data from your phone. Your data can and should be backed up however, and the ClockworkMod Recovery mentioned above allows you to do both the data backup and data wipe.

Instructions on how to install ROMs are often included in their post. They should look something like this:

1. Download the DK28 ROM you want (it will come in .zip format) and move the .zip file to main (base/root) folder of your phone's SD card.

2. Using ClockworkMod Recovery, BACKUP your data by selecting "Backup and Restore" and then "Backup"

3. Using ClockworkMod Recovery, WIPE your data by doing ALL of following:

a. Select "wipe data/factory reset". Do this three times (3x)!

b. Select "wipe cache partition". Do this three times (3x)!

c. Select "advanced" and then "wipe dalvik cache". Do this three times (3x)!

4. Using ClockworkMod Recovery, FLASH (install) the ROM you downloaded by selecting "Install zip from sdcard" and then selecting the ROM's .zip file in the root folder of your sd card.

5. Using ClockworkMod Recovery, select "reboot system now" and WAIT for phone to boot. This will take longer than a normal boot up.

I find these ROMs work well for me:

Since you're already on the leaked DK28 build, receiving the OTA update will not be an option for you. In order to get the over the air update you will have to be on current official build (DI18).

[EVO 4G General] kal326:
Still in the process of flashing, but here is my fun experience of trying to un-root and having tried about 6 different methods I had an idiot savant moment and figured this out.

As the subject explains I had official 3.29.651.5 hboot 0.97.0000 that I used unrevoked 3.21 to root with clockworkmod 2.5 as the custom recovery.

I was trying to follow these instructions:

http://www.evo4gforum.net/htc-evo-4...emoval-of-root-restoring-stock-rom/?topicseen

and

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=780141

and

countless others of flashing a pc36img.zip to restore a ruu version.

The problem with the first set of instructions is that I would get an Error 170 USB connection when the phone would reboot to the HTC bootloader.

The problem with the second set of instructions was that I kept getting an error of main version is older when trying to update from the recover power+vol down.

So what I got to finally work is:

download HTC Sync 2.40

Download from http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.29.651.5_Radio_2.15.00.09.01_NV_1.77_CNV_release_150224_signed.exe

Windows 7 x64 Pro

1. Turn off the phone and power up using vol down + power

2. Start the RUU_SuperSonic installer and complete the first 2 check boxes and next. Once the box displays that its checking your phone for android version hit the first option which is fastboot

3. If it kick over to it fastboot usb since its still connected to the computer

4. If it gets to the USB Error connect on the PC, start over at 2 and try a different option under fastboot. I am not for certain if I hit boot loader under fastboot or not It took a few tries to get it to start the push from the PC.

5. Let it do its thing and it should complete the flash process like normal.

Downloading and updating to 3.70.651.1 right now.

Source Link: http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com

Just get the one for the Touch Pro 2 because it is the same Battery spec (Thank you HTC for keeping good specs across phone models). :D

Search for the following PNs (They are the same battery. Only difference is the battery door which you will toss anyway)

HLI-T7373XL

HLI-XV6875EX

HLI-T7380EX

I recommend getting directly from Mugen because you never know what happens on eBay. I got some bunk Seidio 3500s from there.

Seidio Innocase Rugged Extended Add On Kit Info for EVO

Source Link: http://www.seidioonline.com

I recommend the BD2-HK4HEV4X add on kit because you will not use the Innocase Extended but rather just the Rugged Silicon Layer and The Exoskeleton. The kit comes with the holster too. This is a $20 savings because you cut out a useless layer anyway.

Details and Info Misc:

I get significantly more usage than the 3500mAH Seidio extended battery.

The kernel and the battery are definately a good mix.

Instructions:

Also, I recommend you cut the original back cover rather than the extended cover (if you have the 3500). The original battery will still be held in place if you ever need to use it (as long as you cut it right).

Question: Who is using the Mugen 4500mh battery? Just looking for some feedback. Positives and negatives. I've only seen positive results but would like some more feedback.
