I must be doing something stupid, but no matter what combination of options I user in Developer Options and USB transfer type, AFT does not recognize the device and asked to restart or reattach. What am I missing? Thanks in advance. p.s. I made the switch from an iPhone and have forgotten most of the Android stuff I knew several years ago.

It unfortunately does not work.
Download Smart Switch from here: http://www.samsung.com/us/smart-switch/assets/downloads/SmartSwitch_Mac_setup.dmg
Once it has been downloaded, it will tell you to unlock your phone and connect it.
Once that has been done, click the down arrow beside "Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge"; You will see a folder beside Internal Memory, so click on that folder, and from here, it will look similar to Android File Transfer.
You should be able to drag and drop files into the folders, create new folders, move sh*t around, etc.
Thanks. I'll give it a shot. When I first used the other day I didn't see the file transfer capability, only the basic backup and restore functions.

Yeah unfortunately this is the only way I found to do it on a Mac.
Mac and Android don't really go well together
Worked perfectly. Too bad AFT doesn't work. I assume Google will update to support this phone. Again, thanks.
But Smart Switch is painfully slow in file transfer. There has got to be a way to get AFT working again. Mine just stopped, and when connecting the device, USB debugging on or off, the phone does not ask me if I want to allow the file transfer. I think mine stopped working after installing SideSync, and I never had Kies installed so that solution does not apply. This should not be rocket science!

I installed WMC and my computer has begun to act erratically and it says I'm not activated occasionally but I can use all personalize options, so I want to refresh my PC to a clean slate.
When I go into computer settings to refresh (or completely wipe) my computer it says error, nothing has changed and I can't refresh it. I'm stuck in this crap...
any help or guidance is appreciated.
thanks
... have you tried searching the web or looking on any real tech support forums? This is a developer forum. Unless you ran some code from here and it broke something, you're more likely to get your tech support questions answered somewhere that does tech support.
That said, if you have (or can download) Windows install media, I'd just try running from that. Re-installing the OS is functionally identical to the full reset, and doing an install with the "keep my files" option is the same as refresh.

It probably won't help, but have you checked for a restore point in the desktop?
I had some trouble a couple of weeks ago and ended up resetting the entire computer, which solved the issues. The desktop was fine, but the Windows 8 start screen tiles did not work.

I have checked windows 8 forums but they're all unanswered for the most part. I've tried everything they said to fix it. Is there some sort of file I could delete that refreshing would replace that would force the computer to need a refresh?
What do you mean by restore point on the desktop? I don't have an earlier system restore point, I checked. I deleted my old windows.old folder thinking that was the issue. No fix.

Well, you may have to reinstall from the recovery media. I know you lose your data, but at least everything will work.

Ok so my problem's fixed. I have a server at home so I backed up everything, used vaio care to do a factory reset, somehow ended up on windows 7, clean install of windows 8 activated and I'm good.
Thanks for the help in general guys!
Hi guys,
I created this tool so you can backup the partitions for the Sprint Galaxy S5.
This is IMPORTANT because the tools available at the moment don't backup your data properly. Trust me you don't want to corrupt your modem and then don't have a backup to restore it as they are easily corrupted when you play with network locks.

What format does this backup to and how to restore?
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA Free mobile app
This backup to bin format.This means it's a copy of the bytes of the partitions in your phone. I did not create a restore function yet but can be added on the next version as well as support to more devices.
Only G900P ?
Yes at the moment this is the only supported phone.

Is this an automated dd process? I looked at it quickly and it appears that it is. Just curious.

And where does it store said backups? I clicked on the backup button before i had even connected the phone and it said it backed up everything, then after connecting the phone, it did the same exact thing, yet no files found anywhere.
Thanks!

This tool is an quick tool that I created that is an automated process that uses adb to connect to the phone and create a backup and save them to the PC. This is because the available tools did not backup the correct information or are partial backups that are useless. I didn't add a verification for to see if the phone is connected but can be added later on. The files are stored in the same folder as the exe.
Requirements: Usb Debugging enabled only.

Well thats odd because i have USB Debugging enabled and i dont find any files other than the ones i un-rar'd to the folder. I'll try again in the morning when im not half asleep. Thanks for the reply!

Still same results, i see commands being processed by the phone but they're all remove commands for the BIN's its supposed to have created, from the sdcard partition. Yet i still dont find these files in the STool folder or anywhere on my phone. That and it seems to backup/dump everything so quickly its hard to believe its writing to anything unless these partitions are SUPER small. Wonder if i need to flash back to a stock rom and try from there since i recently flashed over to RDDT fo play with the WiFi calling feature. I'll flash back to stock and see if that makes a difference.
Thanks again for your work on this!
Hey
Same thing on my side, I read it but cant seem to find the file and Im on stock....???
I guys sorry for the confusion it appears that any way this is not the way to backup the data specially for the modem.
Samsung really lock this thing down and encrypted the partitions for nv ram and isolated them through hardware encrypted communicators.
i have found how to access those files i will let you know as soon as it is ready.

Please provide more information. How did your photos disappear? Saying they're 'lost' isn't very informative.
To have your internal storage recognised, make sure before connecting your G2 to the PC you go Settings > PC Connection > Set USB connection method and set it to "Media Sync (MTP)". This will set up USB connectivity for transferring images, music, videos and documents.
Unless you give us any extra information about how the files got deleted, there isn't specific help we can give you.
so far what I can tell you:
if files got deleted by mistake... well, its easy then.
I suggest rooting your device - ioroot
Than install Undeleter
Try this and post us the outcome.

it wasn't by mistake,data deleted accidentally with unpluging usb cable .
is there any way instead of rooting?
Two things from my experience. First one has to be sure to select the correct mode for the USB connection and there may well be ".nomedia" files in directories where images are stored which would prevent say Gallery from seeing them.

for example remo programe for recovery can not detect my phone to recovery my images.
If you know some linux knowledge you can use testdisk. But you need to be rooted. DONT INSTALL AND DOWNLOAD ON THE PHONE any recovery programs . Because it overrite your old data. And all datas will be unrecoverable. Ioroot fine works (it just installs su and supersu.apk on system partition so it wont hurt your data.) Here is more info....

Sorry i couldnt quote for first post so I want to quote for you receving notification.
With this tutorial you will have a img or whatever you want which is including your data partition bytes by bytes. So you probably recover your pics and so other. 2 monts ago i used and all data had recoveried. I think so it will work for you..

I just said to you if you root your phone, you will probably recover your files but if you dont have root acces you can recover your some folders maybe it will be hurt. So you need to think which one is important "varranty of the phone or recoverable data". But maybe you recover some folders, not all via usb otg. It wont overwrite your old data so if you dont wanna be root (i really dont understand you why you dont wanna be root ) you must use some app on play store and recover your pics and others.. ))
So when I connect my phone to my PC and enable file transfer, I try and copy or cut and paste files and it doesn't work. Yesterday I created a new folder where my pictures are stored by default. I then copied and pasted the pics from the main folder to the new one and it went through the motions but didn't display any. I refreshed and still nothing. I backed out of the directory and the folder said it was empty but so was my main pic folder. So it basically deleted everything instead of pasting them in the new folder. Is there an easy fix to this? Never had this issue with my note 3 and 4. Or any other phone for that matter. Is there like a Read/Write command to turn on or something? Seams like a pretty big flaw to not be able to cut paste files and they just get deleted....
Any help on the subject would be greatly appreciated,
Never had any issues like this, both on encrypted and decrypted data. Try flashing the userdata again and see if the issue still persist.
Also, have you checked for the pics in Recycle Bin?

If it helps, I am not rooted and completely stock. How would I go about finding the recycling bin?
I have the same issue with my OP5 (decrypted)
Have you tried copy pasting?
Mine worked well when I did it (encrypted).
Just drag and drop, don't copy so much, try one folder at a time instead.
Also I'd never use cut and paste, if it fails you could end up in limbo with files missing.
Always copy.

You were moving pics from your PC to the phone, were you not?
Windows moves the files to Recycle Bin when you cut-paste.

No, just moving files from one folder to another within the phone. Just using the PC to play middle man to issue the command.

I am not concerned about the files as I have a backup. What concerns me is that the OP5 does this to begin with. I have had several iphones and several Samsung phones and never encountered this issue. That is a design flaw within the software. I was hoping to get an answer as to if this can be fixed or if it is just a flaw with OP5's operating system. Just seems odd this phone does that.

It doesn't happen to everyone. So we can't really talk about a design flaw in the software, otherwise it would affect every device. It's more like a random bug I guess.
As I said, when I got this device I successfully copied my files. Granted, it did seem to have missed a few files (2 Titanium Backup backuped files) and possibly more I did not notice so far.
I've noticed dodgy OTG on the O+5 never had it in a phone before
Because the copying is done by the operating system of your PC, shouldn't there be the problem? The phone is just connected by the internal storage as an external drive. Or is this a driver thing?

Well to me, bugs are inherently design flaws. lol But I don't want to argue semantics. I would just like to find a fix to this "design flaw"/bug. I can understand having a few files deleted or not transferred. But every single file that was selected, cut and pasted? That is just frustrating beyond belief. I just don't get why it does that to begin with. Never encountered this issue with any other phone I have done this same procedure with. I have no issues with transferring files from the pc to the phone. The problem is encountered when I am trying to do things with the internal storage. That is what is confusing me.
@strider5236, tried doing it again on decrypted data using Windows 10 and and Ubuntu 14.04. Moved with no issues. Encrypted data then did it again. No issues still.
Have you tried flashing the userdata image like I initially suggested?

Thank you! <3
ps i have another phone where file transfer works just fine
i guess its worth mentioning that this started after a software update, and right after that they released another one hopping they will fix it but NO :crying:
I was in your situation. I fixed that by install dex on my pc. I don't know if it will help but I think it's worth a try.
