[BitPim-user] getting data off SPH-A840

[Patrick J. C. <pa...@co...>]

Hi everyone.

I am on Mac OS X 10.6.5 (macbook pro), running bitpim 1.0.7.

A friend of mine gave me his sprint SPH-A840 with hopes of me being able to
retrieve some valuable stuff off of it (photos, audio recorings)...

I was able to connect to the phone via /dev/cu.wwan, and attempted to get all
of the data from the phone.  I tried doing this about 3 times, and each time I
got an error:

> Device needs attention - SPH-A840 on /dev/cu.wwan
> SPH-A840 on /dev/cu.wwan: The phone is not responding while manipulating the
> phonebook.

The entire log is at:
http://collinatorstudios.com/www/bitpim_log.txt

My question is, if the rest of the data is not retrievable, it seems that I
should at least be able to access the many jpeg images that the log shows it
successfully got and renamed...  However, I am unable to locate where any of
these files are on my system.

If I look in ~/.bitpim-files, I see:

.bitpim-files/
├── bitpim.db
├── cache
│   └── index.idx
├── ringer
│   └── rowid
└── wallpaper
    └── rowid

Which I am assuming means the actual data is being stored in a database--
Though in bitpim itself, going into BitPim > Phone > Media > images or camera,
I see nothing..  It's all blank.  However, the PhoneBook is full of data-- it
just seems that the media stuff is not showing up for some reason.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
