How can I open a samsung note file on my laptop?

[Ericart]

Hello,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (model: SM-N950F) since may 2018.
The screen failed recently just after updating Bixby. But I don't think it's due to this update.
May be an electrical problem? But before sending back my Note 8 to fix the screen I have to backup my datas.
With an almost all green screen and a password to enter as to unlock the phone, it's quite an impossible mission.
But I just did the job today and succeeded to backup my datas on my pc laptop with the Smart Switch Samsung Software.

I have professional "Samsung Notes" and it's urgent for me to find them back for work.
The problem is how to open the sdoc.snmm file in the directory SAMSUNGNOTE (from the backup stored on my laptop).

I renamed the file as a zip one and opened it with Winzip which can now display 3 files as following:

SDOC.BK, SMARTSWITCHBACKUP.JSON, et SSMDUMMYVALUE.XML.

SDOC.BK is the bigger one. Almost 97% of the total 3 files percentage.
I think it's this file which contains all Samsung Notes I did with my S pen!

But how to manage that file? I red on other forums that we can read the Samsung notes files as PDF files from a Windows PC.

But the files would have to be first exported in PDF format from the Note 8. And as I can not read anything on my screen Note 8,
I can do nothing from the Note 8.

Then, is it possible to open that SDOC.BK with a specific software? Or do I have to change the extension BK into PDF?

If you could help me to find a solution it would be great!

Regards,

Eric (from Paris!)

It's a little late and I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter anymore by now, but I'm pretty sure those are proprietary formats. Renaming them won't make it able to read it. I think the only way is to export them from the Notes app, unfortunately.

Have you tried Samsung Notes app for Windows? Maybe that helps...

Hello
I tried to get the samsung notes application but the download link failed. I chatted with US samsung support. They say that this application is no more available since january 2018 as they have bugs to fix.
8 months later it still being "off"!! It must be very big bugs! If someone succeeded to manage his samsung notes with a Windows 10 PC it would be kind to share a copy of it. Please note that the french samsung support was not aware of this problem as the software download link was "broken". They added this was a Microsoft problem as the samsung note software is distributed by and for Microsoft corporation. By the way, the customer is invited to find a solution with Microsoft not with Samsung! What about the samsung engineers working to fix the soft? I do not understand this way to give... "no solution". It's not serious for a such big Company like Samsung! Thanks for your attention. Regards Eric

I installed Notes for Windows on my new Notebook 9 Pro in April this year. Synchronization ensures I can open and work on the Notes both on the Note 8 and the Notebook 9 Pro....
Could be that there is no windows Notes app for non-samsung or non-pen equipped pcs.

If any of you are still wondering, use this link filext.com/file-extension/SDOC . upload your .sdoc file, from that click the text.dat one at the very end then copy and paste to a word document or something. You will need to edit it but at least you can still keep everything you typed. For pictures it is the one with .JPG . Sometimes the text is saved as JPG, in this case press the one that says .spd which is like another file, then click the very first one (think it ends with .page) then you can copy the text which they will show below. Hope this helps since it helped me recover quite a couple of .sdoc notes.

This link, from my Android phone, works to push the Samsung Notes app to my PC Windows account:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/samsung-notes/9nblggh43vhv

Trying to install the app from the store directly from the non-Samsung PC had failed.

The Samsung Notes Windows 10 app can sync your notes between your phone and your PC.

I hope that helps.
