This is for 100% stock unrooted S7 Edge from tmo.
I am trying to do adb backup and it just doesn't work.
I have enabled usb debugging, tried with and without desktop backup password but any time I do
adb backup
It tells me to confirm on device and nothing happens there.
Helium pops up backup password dialog but doesn't proceed beyond that
Anyone knows what's going on?
No problems here with Helium
Got Helium to work. Apparently, my device has trouble popping up some windows. When I hit back button from set backup password it showed Helium password dialog. After that it worked. Not sure what to make out of it. Probably subject of separate thread.
Still no luck with adb.

Hi there,
my touchscreen is broken, display however works just fine but doesn't react on touching.
Before giving it away for reparation I would want to make a backup of all data (messages, contacts, apps etc.)
I tried via adb but all I get is the message "device offline", same with screencast.
I guess that's because of 4.2.2's new security feature where you have to confirm the connection on the handset.
Unfortunately the Nexus 4 doesn't support any usb input device.
I remember reading somewhere that this "feature" is keeping the data little more secured but could be bypassed somehow relatively easy.
But exactly how wasn't mentioned.
So any help here please?
Bootloader is unlocked, rooted and usb-debugging turned on.
Thanks, uizomop
edit: Just found out, that in recovery mode I can connect via adb. "adb backup –apk –shared –all" This comment shoud backup pretty much all data, right? But how about messages?
I broke the screen on my S4 to the point that it is not usable. I work in a hospital and urgently need to access my phone and the texts on it. The phone is rooted. Is there any way I can access my texts and unlock my phone so I can access the data on it.
Can you plug it into a PC and access KIES?
Other than that, I do not know. I use MightyText and that keeps everything sync'ed to the cloud. Maybe installing that after the fact.
Or, second thought, look towards AndroidLost, I think you can install that without seeing the screen.
I am now familiar with kies how does it work?
If you can get into recovery, you could make a nandroid backup of your current setup, then restore data (I'd advise against system) onto the new phone, assuming it's still a Galaxy S4 (and it's not the Triband).
Alternatively, still do the nandroid but use an app such as Nandroid Explorer to get the pieces you need out of it.
I'm locked out of my S5 and the only way to unlock it seems to be by alternate password, which I don't remember.
Google Android Manager will no longer allow you to reset the lock screen password, there are no other options listed, and it seems that my phone will undergo a factory reset about 10 failed attempts at guessing the password. I have one guess left.
Is there any way to save the data on my phone before the factory reset, or a way to bypass it completely?
The phone is not rooted at all, and I'm unsure as to the specific software version, as I can't look to see.
I think you can boot into recovery and maybe backup your files

How so?
I'm in recovery mode now.. I don't have any CWM or anything like that, and I don't see any options.
Maybe I should try to apply the recent update and see if that resets everything?
Updated to the latest version.
Doesn't look like that helped anything.
Still locked, and I don't want to try another password incase I'm still on my last try.
I can set up the ADB while in recovery mode... Can I backup via the ADB in recovery mode?
When I use adb devices, my device comes up as "sideload" rather than device? Why?
I was going to do a backup with TWRP on my rooted Canadian S5 but when I got to the backup selection it gave me 3 options to where I wanted to store the backup. I tried USB Storage but the box won't accept the tick. It also has a box for SD Card but that won't accept the checkmark either. I don't get it. If the options are there why won't they accept the checkmarks ??? I am currently running Marshmallow on a Canadian SM-G900W8. If there is something I can do that doesn't require rocket science I'd appreciate the help.
Hello there, I'm using OnePlus 6t on OOS 10, somehow my kid changed the lockscreen pin and now forgot.
I've read multiple threads and asked a lot of people, but there seems no method to bypass the lockscreen pin.
I'd some important files which I couldn't backup/ not until my last backup.
Is there any way possible to recover my files after a hard reset as that's the only alternate i can think of without bypassing lockscreen without root.
FYI: Bootloader locked, currently locked, haven't hard reset yet, usb debugging off.
Nope, if you hard reset you lose everything. User storage is encrypted with a per-session key that is wiped when a reset occurs meaning everything on the phone becomes useless garbage the moment that key is lost. If you have adb enabled and have authorized your computer once before you might be able to pull files off using that but otherwise you might be screwed
The lock screen is designed to keep people out, wouldn't be much use if it let people exfiltrate data whenever they wanted
Don't even think you'll be able to get the pin off the phone. When you reset Google asks for the old pin used in the device.
If USB debugging is off, I don't even think you can flash stock firmware onto the device either.
You're pretty much screwed.
The best way to do is MSM tool. If you don't know the password your can't even get in to recovery mode( required password). By doing that all data will be gone.
