hi hadron, hope alls well with you & urs!

devicerecovery.com:
How to connect Android devices to PC with USB Mass Storage Mode

today a kind (like you) guy, took a look at the 'not getting anywhere, with being able to, from the phone ie tap build number 7 times... etc' to be able to tranfer files the easy way!

the chap went as far as he could within work constraints - wish i had the comp know how to get round it.

i feel it probably quite easy but feeling & reality is another thing

apparently its SO well hidden, why do this to people, who pay enough for the phones!

hi hadron, hope ur well. dont kno how 2020 has been 4 u, but hoping 21, will fare a lot brighter!!. u being my android brain! i was wondering if there is any camera apk that will allow you to add some text in the 'title: img' bit - so u can do it on the phone rather than trying to remember later if at all! i found an app that gives access from the phone, saves taking battery out, putting sd card in adapter...?

i so bless you, im enjoying my new phone as it were - does everything i need

i carry memories, & where my main hand is a problem, had u not been selfless in the amount of help you gave, id have been forced to get a 55" phone - this 1 slips at times much less! so ur a good memory to carry!!

hi hadron a shout out to you, as well as a question, the phone said 'restart the mobile service' i did a it appears its continual looped. i connected it to the comp & 'fastboot devices' the serial number failed to show, it just went back to c:windows\system32 - any clues?

hi hadron, thanks to your previous help (t y, t y t y!) i got back into phone (im enjoying it) using fastboot devices, fb b c:\...\recovery.img.

i just cant think why, choosing to 'restart mobile service', would send it into a loop - id have press cancel, if i was psychic

as said, last contact, took it back to 31/12/20, after backingup that loop set-up.

if you do a clone on comp, you can explore the image - is there a similar feature with phone back-up

phone is fun & you r as a t-shirt said today 'your are amazing', u SSOOOO helped me, id have still been here trying to work out the mine of help you gave me - i c ppl balancing their huge phones & nearly dropping them often

having to use my not main hand id be in trouble with those big ones

thanks
