[dre4930]

Hi everyone I have been searching and searching countless threads trying to find out how i can get my media files off my broken samsung galaxy s1. the phone is model t959. I have some very important pictures and videos that have family members in them that are no longer with me and have past on. I have looked everywhere for programs that will help but havent found anything just countless programs offering it but nothing is working. Kies wont recognize my phone nor will my mac because i cant tell the phone to let them. I know theres a lot of smart tech savvy people on this forum please help me!

Do this:
1.Connect it to your Mac
2.Go into the device storage (NOT KIES!)
3.transfer what you need.
Thanks for asking!

My computer doesn't recognize my phone is plugged into it. I can't switch it on my phone because my entire screen is shattered. I need away around this so my mac will recognize my phone and vice versa.

I assume these files are on the internal storage, since otherwise you just remove the SD card and put it in a card reader.

So, does the phone have a data connection, WiFi on or USB debugging enabled? And what OS version?

If usb debugging is on you should be able to use ADB to copy the files, once you've installed the adb program on your Mac (see second post of that thread).

If you have data on, and the OS version is not too new (good change if it's an S1) then you may be able to use one of Scary Alien's rescue apps, AF Rescue or AF Rescue 2. Those links give descriptions of how they work. The first one uses WiFi File Explorer, so requires WiFi to be on, the second can be used with a cable.

Otherwise I can't think of much else you can do.

Yeah. I think this with ADB for this:
adb connect
Then move the pictures. Do lots of googling to find out how to move stuff.

Oh,and enable USB Debugging. ADB can not be used without it on. If it isn't on,ADB will refuse to do anything.
