You don't need an adb shell to get dumpstate logs in this case.

Every Samsung device has a built-in tools like SysDump, just follow these steps:

1) Open the Phone app in your device and type: *#9900#

2) Depending on how much detailed logs you would like to get change Debug Level and Silent log options (by default Debug Level is Disabled/LOW and Silent Log is turned Off)

3) Click on Run dumpstate/logcat/modem log (should be first option) wait until process finishes

4) Click Copy to sdcard(include CP Ramdump). This is important step because by default collected logs will be stored in /data/log directory, which is under root permissions so you can't access to it without root permissions

5) Your logs will be stored in /log directory on your DEVICE STORAGE.(this means that you don't need root access to find it just use file manager).

    If the device doesn't have a dialer, enter (+30012012732+ into the calculator and then proceed entering *#9900#

  • Still working on Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. The file itself is a ZIP named like: dumpState_<deviceid>_<datetime>.zip

If you want to create the dumpstate file from a PC (using adb), run this command from a shell:

adb shell dumpstate > dumpstate.log

This will create the file dumpstate.log in the current directory on your PC. You can use this as part of a bug report.

  • Could not get this to work on Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra: /system/bin/sh: /system/bin/dumpstate: Permission denied. Not sure if one can get around that permission issue without root.
