Dear All!
(I already searched Google and xda - However, since my problem is rather specific, I may be using the wrong keywords to come up with a solution that is also applicable here; so also links are highly appreciated!)
I will give you the whole story in order not to skip anything important:
While hiking with my family I somehow managed to break my screen (LCD and Touch, as far as I could tell). However, the phone was still powered on, which i could tell from using the volume keys and hearing the normal sounds. Also the phone was ringing when called.
Unfortunately, USB Debugging wasn't activated, so I booted to recovery (some CWM, can't be more specific, sorry) via several tries. It was a bit tricky at first, but i managed to come up with a routine that would work (Holding VolUp+Home, then Power additionally; releasing the power button after the first vibration and then holding the other two for another 3-5 sec did the trick).
I then could gain usb debugging the way described in this thread: [Tool][Windows] Control a device with a broken screen. Now with touchscreen support!!
Using a Linux machine I then used adb commands (ls; cd; pull) to copy my mmssms.db; however I had to leave my workplace for a short while. Afterwards my device wasn't shown in adb devices, because it powered off for some reason.
Here comes the crucial part: At this point I mistakenly booted into Download Mode (and wasn't aware that I did it, cofused VolUp and VolDown - I couldn't see that, so I'm not 100% sure). I pulled out the battery at this point and rebooted into recovery.
Booting into recovery still works and "adb shell" -> "ls" shows the folders, however apart from the top level folders there are no more files/folders left (e.g. "ls mnt" gives "fuse secure shell"; "ls data" gives "media"; "ls data/media" doesn't return anything)
At this point I mainly want to get the contents of my internal sd (now no files are shown).
tl;dr: Broke screen; accidentially booted into Download Mode; Pulled out battery; Can't access my files/files gone in adb shell
Is there a way to recover the file structure? I still can get into recovery and use adb but the phone won't boot to CyanogenMod (I suppose it gives me a soft brick screen, but i can't confirm that as my screen is broken).
I really hope someone could point me in the right direction!
