How To Get Files Off a HTC M7 That Won't Stay On

Question

I have a HTC One M7 that I need to get all the (~1GB) files off. The problem is that the phone restarts after about 10-30sec, so I don't have time to manually copy the files.



Phone Info:




  • USB debugging is enabled

  • the phone is not rooted



The phone restarts even while fast charging and re-calibrating the battery did not help.



I then attempted to download the files to my computer while the phone was off/in recovery mode. The phone is detected in recovery mode on Windows, but I can't get any files off. I downloaded adb but it does not work in recovery mode.



I ran out of options so I was going to factory reset to fix the restarting bug, and then try to recover the data with an android recovery tool.



Since this is inherently risky, I was hoping that a better option to backup the phone would be provided.



P.S. Its not my phone. I know how to back up XD

Answer

So I modified this script to automate file transfer in between reboots:





#!/bin/sh



rfolder=/mnt/sdcard/DCIM/$1

lfolder=$2 

homeDir=`pwd`

adb shell ls "$rfolder" > android.files



ls "$lfolder" -1 > local.files



rm -f update.files

touch update.files



while IFS=  read -r q; do

  # Remove non-printable characters (are not visible on console)

  l=$(echo ${
q
}
 | sed 's/[^[:print:]]//')

  # Populate files to update

  if ! grep -q "$l" local.files; then




 echo "$l" >> update.files

  fi  

done


Its slow but it works
