charging only to MTP or PTP

maksimus · Oct 22, 2020

My Nokia 2.2 screen was locked and I forgot the password but I'm having the USB debugging turned on, on my phone.. but the USB behaviour is set to CHARGING ONLY.. I made too many attempts that the phone asks to make my every next trial after 84000 seconds approx.. Is there anyway to recover all the call lists and app data from my phone?

MTP mode won't actually help you: USB file transfer that way isn't available with the screen locked even when MTP mode is set (I have my default USB connection mode set to MTP but can't actually use it without unlocking).

USB debugging doesn't require MTP: it works perfectly well with the USB connection set to charge only (I just tested to make sure before typing this). So the problem is more likely that you need to authorise the USB debugging connection, and if you didn't tell it to not ask again with that particular computer you would need to unlock in order to authorise (I know the authorisation has changed a bit over the years, so I'm describing the current situation with Android 11, as that's what I'm using).

Unfortunately I don't have an answer: if USB debugging isn't working with the screen locked I can't think of a way of accessing the data which doesn't require unlocking the screen.

Normally after a number of failed attempts you should see a forgot password option pop up on the screen and have an option to enter your Google account credentials.

#Hadron thank you sir, you're so helpful.
Mine's having the Android 10 version on it.. It's an android Go edition phone though..
I'll keep you posted.

#Brian706 Thanks for your time but those were the Good old days.. Androids these days don't work that way or atleast my phone.. It didn't ask for a password recovery through Gmail.

#Hadron I tried what you said but the adb didn't recognise my phone... Is there any other way to recover all the call lists in that goddamn phone.??

Hadron · Oct 23, 2020

Unfortunately I can't think of one. Actually if I could it would be problematic to post it publicly (because anyone can read it, so this would be telling any thief how they could access their victim's data!), but if ADB isn't responding (whether because USB debugging is off or the computer hasn't been authorised to use it, or the authorisation has expired) then you need to unlock the screen to use that.

Which doesn't really leave anything on an unrooted device. If you have a custom recovery then there would be ways, but that seems unlikely to me (as you've not mentioned it). Installing one requires unlocking the bootloader and I don't think Nokias have unlockable bootloaders, plus unlocking the bootloader performs a factory reset on most phones, and in many cases you need to enable bootloader unlocking first, which means getting pas the lock screen again. So unless it's already been done, it won't help now.

And that's the same for every other solution I can think of: there are things you could use if you'd already installed them or set them up, but doing that now requires getting past the lockscreen.

This is my phone, I could provide you the bill.

maksimus · Oct 24, 2020

I can even provide the gmail that's linked to the phone and the SIM Card that's bought on my ID proof.
Please just help, if you can.

This is what's happening

Hadron · Oct 24, 2020

Oh, whoa, this is a completely different situation from what I'd thought: the problem is purely on your computer. And it is actually proposing a solution.

So have you done what it says: typed ".\adb devices" rather than "adb devices"? What happens then?

I did, but it keeps showing the same thing.. I mean it shows the path and waits for the command to enter..
Just like I showed it in the photo.

See, this is what it looks like... No response.
Shows the path and still waits for my command.

Hadron · Oct 25, 2020

".\adb" won't attempt to communicate with the phone because it doesn't specify a command (though I'm a little surprised it didn't return a list of adb commands)

Try ".\adb devices", and if that responds with your serial number you can try other adb commands in the same way.

Otherwise maybe reinstall adb.

Thank you #Hadron, will try and keep you posted.

#Hadron I've installed a new adb on my PC and connected my device and searched for adb devices in command prompt.. this is how it came.

Hadron · Oct 26, 2020

Ah, crap. "unauthorised" is what I was originally afraid of. ADB has connected to the phone but the phone wants you to allow the connection to proceed, which requires unlocking the phone.

maksimus · Oct 26, 2020

#Hadron, all the day I've been trying different ADBs, disconnecting and reconnecting the phone, changing physical ports, 'kill-server' and 'start-server' commands... And when I accidentally typed 'kill server' instead of 'kill-server' 👇 this came up, a list of adb commands.. but the device still showed as unauthorized.. what does it mean.
