[Q] How to recover files from a broken P1000 by USB

Hi everybody,
This is my first post in XDA-Developers
Last night I did something bad to my P1000 tablet and I don't know how to fix it. I am running official 2.3.3 ROM installed by myself.
I wanted to get rid of 'pulse' as it was always giving me useless notifications. So I rooted my tablet using this page. Then I installed "Root Uninstaller" to uninstall pulse. At that point, I did uninstall some other system software like "Samsung Accounts" and "Samsung Apps" (I don't remember the names exactly). After that, it got hanged. I restarted my tablet, but after reboot, I realized that touch-screen has stopped working. Since that time, I cannot use the tablet at all.
Since I have some important files in my tablet, I am looking for a way to backup my files and then put a clean ROM to my tablet.
I tried Samsung Kies to backup my device, but apparently it only copies files from the main (~2GB) memory and not from the internal SD card, where all my files are in.
I tried to mount it as a mass storage device, but I cannot find a way to do it. I looked at other posts like this, but they require to change something inside the tablet, like turning USB debugging off, which I'm not able to do at the moment, because my touch-screen doesn't work.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Can you get into CWM or downloader ?

Yes I can, and I did! And I could back up all my files! Thanks a lot!
I write here what I did as a record:
- I turn my device off.
- I hold power and volume-up buttons together to go CWM (recovery) mode.
- I see a text environment with multiple choices. I can move between choices by volume-down and -up keys, and I can select them by touching the home button.
- I select "mounts and storage," then I select "mount /sdcard."
- Then I connect my tablet to computer using the USB cable (I run Ubuntu on my laptop).
- My laptop recognizes tablet storage as a 14GB removable drive.
- I open the drive in my laptop and do whatever I want (copy, ...)
- That's it!

Nexus 7, display broken, unable to enter the look screen, backup all?

Hy experts
i need your help again...
I have a Nexus 7 , and the screen is broken. I can't type anything and can't go inside the main settings, now. It's not possible to use my "look-screen-pattern"
Now I would like to do a backup of all data on my pc. (i want to open the backup file via winrar(or anything else), to get my photos, videos, apps etc. )
I have the android sdk tools installed, the google drivers too.
I used the recovery mode on my nexus. On the screen is a yellow sentence, what means the sideload function. But i don't need the sideload function. I only want a backup and no new rom system...
I tried to use adb shell commands to store a backup on my windows 7 pc.
But in my cmd a always get the same error.
unable to connect device....
The Tablet is not in the debug mode!! but i can't change settings, cause the display is broken
thanks for help

Get an OTG adapter cable and plug in a USB mouse/keyboard. That should get you through the unlock.

When you plug in a mouse, you will see a mouse pointer appear. To emulate taps, click any button. To emulate swipe, hold the button down from beginning to end of the swipe.

Need to reset Shift to factory settings, keyboard not working!

Hello everyone!
I just bought a real oldie - a HTC Shift X9500.
I owned one back in the days, and still remember it fondly. So I jumped at the bargain of getting another one for just 30 euros.
Unfortunately, this one's physical keyboard has some keys which don't work.
I thought I might reset it to factory settings, in the hope of solving the problem.
But!
Fn+ F3 asks me to confirm (Y/N) if I want the system reset - and the Y and N keys are among the ones which don't work! So it's just sitting there doing nothing, because I can't confirm the operation.
Is there any alternative way of resetting it - like running a command line or something , avoiding the use of the keyboard for confirmation?
Thanks!

Hi, congrats on reacquiring the HTC Shift!
I'm guessing you have already tried an external USB keyboard and that it doesn't work prior to the OS booting.
What OS are you trying to boot - which version of Windows are you trying to boot?
If you have an external USB DVD drive, you could boot directly from a Windows DVD and hope that the non-functional keys are not necessary. I would imagine the mouse can be used for most of the installation.
If it's Windows 10 that you are going to use, then you can search for "windows media creator" and download the windows media creation tool from Microsoft which allows you to create a bootable USB stick. Such a stick can be booted from the Shift by pressing DEL at power on and selecting the USB device for boot. You may also have to adjust your BIOS permit booting from USB. Again, I think the whole process would be possible by mouse interactions.

Thanks a lot - I didn't think about using an external USB keyboard! I'll also try the Windows 10 USB stick install, and keep you posted on how it goes!

I guess I did something stupid...
Hi all,
First of all, I have managed to boot into recovery mode and got that menu screen, where you have the wipe data/factory defaults and wipe cache partition.
My stupid thing: I did both... (both cache and data /factory defaults.
Now, I've followed dnbsoundsgo0d guide, but my device is not being recognized by the tool... I'm currently downloading an MXQ_4k_2017.ZIP file I found for the device, but, I'm wondering if by putting this on an SD card, if I will be able to update it without connecting to a PC.
Any word of wisdom is highly appreciated. Thanks!

BMW Head Unit Revive

Hello to all
I have a BMW specific head unit running Android 8.1 and px6 processor.
The unit that i own is that one :
https://www.alibaba.com/product-det...l?spm=a2700.7724838.2017115.89.4e3cf8c9o0r9Dr
After performing a factory reset from android menu everything seemed ok.
Fresh start.
After leaving the car for some hours and come back , after start the ignition the head unit saws this ( photo attached )
After reading so much i see that the unit is in recovery but since there are no physical button except e reset hole i cannot move into the recovery and select any of the two options.
I tried to install an external usb keyboard but it is not recognized when restarting the unit with the keyboard hooked up.
I tried to install an external usb mouse that is recognized , i can move between the two options if i long press a button it highlights the option but does not give " enter " command.
Seller send me the firmware file tha is in .zip format so i cannot use the sd card tool .
I run out of options at the moment .
Can someone give a hand on this?
The best thing is have this zip file to img file , make a bootable sd card and start from there.
Is that possible?
Thank you all guys !
I attach some other photos of the board if you have any idea.
I opened searching for the C17 ic to do the shprting thing but unless i am blind i cannot find it

Ok, in order to update you will need to name the zip as "update.zip" - that's how i got mine to start.
Also you need to format the SD-Card fat32 and make sure it's empty when you copy the Update.zip file
The other option is to go in recovery but you need to find a working keyboard, for example a Logitech K120 for example works well with mine.
Try both USB ports, and try to cut the power completely when you restart and switch the port.
If you can't get a keyboard to work it's pretty tricky.
You will need to unsolder the small resistor shown it the picture, and bridge the connections next to it. (Don't loose it, you will need to put it back after flashing!)
After that you have access to the OTG, and you can use ADB - USB.
not sure it will work as expected in your case, because the unit is a bit different but if all else fails and you don't care about warranty, you could give it a try.

Thank you for your reply
Well i managed to connect a keyboard and try both options
1) try again
2) factory reset data
in some cases the unit boots lets me play with it make adjustments etc.
But after a full reboot unit is unresponsive again and starts again the boot loop cycle.
After full reboot unit complains that the code i entered is correct but files are damaged and needs full factory reset.
I press the button to full reset but it stays forever in BMW Connecting screen.
The thing is that Android 8 has not .img file to use SD card tool to make a bootable sd so i need to get to recovery.
It has zip file that means OTA so i need recovery.
I do not have success on that.
I think that the SoM is corrupted and i do not know how to fix for now.
Any ideas for that?

If you can get into android some times, then do the following.
Try until you are booted in android.
When you manage to get in android, depending on where you play with the unit, try to have it connected to wireless, and with a laptop on the same wireless network.
Then, install Terminal Emulator on the unit.
Open it and try the following commands;
setprop persist.adb.tcp.port 5555
setprop sys.rkadb.root 1​Then, on your laptop install adb, and connect to the unit using ADB connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx... is the ip of the unit)
Once connected you can run the adb reboot recovery command to get in recovery(make sure you have the keyboard working)
Btw, you don't need the sdcard to be bootable.
Try to have the zip file you received directly on the sdcard. Should be PX6.zip, or update.zip, have them both.
Also if you have it on the sdcard when it boots in android, it will detect the update, and you can flash it directly from android.

Have them on the sdcard all the time, and the sdcard connected.
once you manage to get in android, it should pop up a message with the update

i did that with a usb drive.
Update gone smoothly after request to remove the usb drive the unit boot up correctly but in the next full restart i had all the symptoms again.
I thought that you mean to have the files before boot and it will detect update before going into android.
I tried booting with sd card mounted with px6.zip and update.zip inside
It gives No Signal in every boot even with one of two files inside.
and for sometime now it does not boot to android at all !!

Sorry to invade your thread but I have a similar issue about updates. I have a PX6 unit from AVIN and they have released 2 updates for the unit but they just REFUSE to start. I have followed their instructions 100 percent and it recognizes the USB stick in either USB port but the updates don't start. I've tried multiple USB sticks and nothing works. Their support is worthless. Is there a way to launch the update manually?

hello, how can i get recovery mode??
I try whit reset buttom, touching with 5 fingers.. but nothing
