Is there any way to root an S8 without a memory card? I don't have one available where I live and wanted to get around the situation

No cause you have to format data to remove encryption to flash the decrypt zip and once you format data the zip will be deleted from internal storage

While the use of a memory is usefull but you don't need one.
After you format data in twrp and reboot straight back into twrp you can then transfer your files from PC to phone.

Does it usually appear showing the folders or do I need cmd to give the copy commands?

I believe it's plausible threw a MTP connection

MTP on twrp should be enabled by default if not you can turn this on in twrp.
Just use a file explorer on PC to read phone it should read as an external drive
Another option it to use ADB commands to copy files across.

My microSD card is mounted at extStorages/Sdcard but as read-only that I have to connect to PC to write files to it.
How can I move or copy files form internal sdcard to my microSD card without connecting to PC?
you need to root your device.
This is a good place to start:

The stock file manager should be able to copy files to the SD card without rooting. However, in order to write to the SD card from any other app, you will need to modify your platform.xml. If that doesn't mean anything to you, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491954.
Well it seems that I have to root it before that

Is this something the new ICS will solve without having to root my tablet?

that would be good to know since this is something that is a bit fault in the original tablet.
It might be caused by google code since 3.2 android, unless samsung does a workaround.. i guess it will still exist.

If you just want to transfer file to your tablet, there is an application called MyPhoneExplorer. You have to install it both in your computer and your device. To access your SD card you do need to root your phone.
Connection can be made through WiFI, USB, Bluetooth or Fixed IP address.
Hope it works for you.

In my case it does.
It's not visible on my PC and never has been.
The 'posting' trick does not work to make it visible either.
I cannot get into phone at all. Screen is not responding. I want to mount my SD card to get my crap off, but I can't get to homescreen to allow PC to mount the drive. I booted to recovery and TWRP is not accepting touch either. Any idea how I can get my stuff off this phone? I can't take to a place to have repaired due to sensitive data I can't have out of my site.

Are you familiar with 'adb pull' command? I'd do that command to pull everything on the SD card and then restore the phone with LG flash tools.

No, but I will google it. You think that will work? Am I pull root and below or do you choose folders to pull?

You can choose folders to pull but it'll be easier to just 'adb pull /sdcard/ C:\User\Destination\folder' and that will pull everything from the SD card to a folder
I've done that many times, the only thing it didnt work was when it wanted to pull a file with Cyrillic or arabic letters it would not pull those files.

If you find it is an actual issue with the screen and not software based here is th thread i did when I replaced my whole LCD/Digitizer/Screen. Doesn't sound like a hardware problem but just in case...
Simple and straight, I need to know if its possible to connect the phone as USB Mass Storage device to my computer.
Thanks!
like this? yes
No, I want it to appear like another drive, I need to recover deleted files and like that no recovery app works, you need to have it connected as mass storage device.
no way to recover lost data. next time use backup or SD card to save media and document files... every school cost... in this case cost lost data...

is Interop Tools... but big warning. is good chance you must do hard reset because full system access via MTP on 950 series not work (in my case PC not recognize 950xl). i hate when people give advice without warning for problems, bugs...

You still should be able to flash files even though it says mount failed.

You can also try adb sideload.
Hi guys, I had some video files on the internal storage that I deleted after I thought I had backed them up. Is there any way to recover them?
I wasn't on wifi so the videos were not backed up.
I already tried a few undelete programs and they either require root (which I don't have) or they ONLY recover pictures (not helpful).
Thanks!
Disregard any app and trying this in phone, it seldom works well.
Make sure you do not download stuff, store, take any photos, etc. Anything you do might overwrite the files.. basically anything that writes to the internal media partition is likely to mess up the files so you won't be able to recover them.
Hook the phone up to a computer so you can access files and try something like recuva software to recover everything. Pc software should be able to read the phone storage, but I haven't tried it myself from the s8
From say an SD card it's easy, but since the pc reads the phone "as s a drive" it should work too.

The phone isn't mounted as a drive unfortunately, USB MASS STORAGE isn't available on this phone, I don't know when they stopped it
Recuva does not work either since it cannot see the phone.
Make sure the phone is unlocked and open or Windows will not see it as an external drive.

for the purpose of this problem. The answer is no way to do it without root. Also, to root phone means going through factory reset. The full steps to root will technically factory rest phone two times when all is said and done.

If you have the Samsung USB drivers installed on your computer - Enable USB Debugging and then you shouldn't have any issues with being able to see the internal & sd card Storage.

Already enabled it, didn't help. I can see my phone but again its mounted as MTP which isn't helpful. You need MASS USB STORAGE but google removed that about 3 or 4 generations ago

Yeah I understand that. I suspect the videos are gone, but it's worth it even if its partly corrupt. This is why root is so important and why its stupid they removed mass storage.

In the original SamPwn thread it describes Two Steps. Could I maybe do step one, THEN try to recover videos before doing step 2?

With the given root methods your deleted data will be over written. More than likely you will never recover it if you root
