I have just been given an O2 Zest that I intended to use as a cordless Skype phone at home via Wi-Fi. It was working but the screen was out of calibration and it was hard to find the side bar even in landscape mode. I tried a soft reset to no avail. I then tried the reset in one of the menus that required a password (1234). Now, on power-up, it stops at Align Screen. I have found the original 02 upgrade firmware in a zip file on the O2 site. Should I unzip & load this onto the phone via the micro SD (if so, how?) or am I wasting my time? Is there another solution or have I a brick?
14 September Update
I have now been able to move onto the home screen using Remote Screen Alignment from Code Factory. It is claimed that the screen can be realigned using the stylus but I cannot find any valid hot locations on the screen. If I run the upgrade firmware will that have the valid alignment parameters as a file included?

Well I have managed to break my touch screen on my 02 XDA Orbit , not a big problem as I have a spare XDA Orbit.
The problem is I need to access to the broken one, the phone powers up into the unlock screen, but I cannot get any further due to the touch screen being dead .
I have loaded mymobiler onto my PC to try to control it through that. The program requires an acknowledgment on the phone so that the application is installed, cannot acknowledge this because of the broken touch screen.
I would like to know if there is anyway of unlocking the touch screen, so that I can control the phone using keys or through mymobiler.
Any help is appreciated, I have used the search engine and google, but cannot find if it is possible.
For what purpose do you want to access the phone?
If you got a spare LCD-Display, just replace the old one and you can acces the device.
Or does your data get lost if you take out the battery?
Another solution for exporting contacts and other data is Jeyo Mobile Companion. So you can save your data and repair the device afterwards.

Thanks for the reply. I have several applications on the phone that I need info from, so that I can register them on the new phone.
I do not want to remove the screen from the working phone just to get at the stuff I need. I might end up with two broken phones
There must be a simple way of deactivating the screen lock feature
hi go to the htc website www.htc.com
then go to support then Choose Your Product then HTC S710 - Operating System [ROM] Update you must enter your phone Serial Number and download the rom update
first you must remove the storage card then press and hold the cam button then press the power button then you will see the color screen let it on
then Connect a Phone to a Computer Using a USB Port you must flash your htc_s710 with the rom update It works!!! Try it out!

Should a valid simcard be inserted in the device ?
no, you dont have to insert a valid simcard...just tried it out
It did not work on my phone, but I think that this device is definitely dead...
I doesn't matter too much as I bought it to for pieces...
vox hangs at wm6 screen. soft reset fails. extract contacts before hard reset?
yes, i would love to get my htc vox back by hard resetting (flashing the rom), but my contacts are not backed up (yes groan, but ...* see bottom if you care/have time...) So, i want to transfer the contacts data out of my vox, without wm6. go on, mission impossible was a great flick, we all want to be tom cruise (except I'm not sure about the scientology stuff..)!
1. is it possible to go to the (green blue red screen) SPL stage (i.e. hold camera button press power on) and then via the laptop send commands to the vox to copy data from the built-in memory to the storage card?
my parallel is that a PC has a simple operating system 'ms-dos' which can be used to obtain data and get the computer back online if windows fails. This requires programming in the lowest level (os) language of vox, I understand it uses an ARM chip (http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wt...lateId=6123&navigationId=12000&contentId=4679). ARM/HTC websites refer to having 'windows embedded CE 6.0' but since my vox's bootloader does not finish loading wm6, I guess wm6 never gets fully installed into RAM so is not usable in this case. so...
2. has anyone tried this before? Anyone know a link to the command list for the vox's operating system? Any tips/corrections to the above?
Other relevant points, required for this solution to work:
3. what is the name (and do i also need the memory location?) of the data file containing the outlook contacts data?
4. does the HTC RUU ROM update actually install all the standard issue software, as well as WM6, including the ability to save Outlook contacts? link to software pack?
Thanks in advance..
(* - I dont have outlook on my laptop and was not aware until after the event that a work-around exists, yes my vox froze once before and when i checked that work-around was not developed.. (last time a soft reset removing the SIM and storage card did the trick. no such luck this time.))
I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 that now has a bad digitizer, and I am unable to use any touch-required functions. I only wish to retrieve the contacts from the phone in a way that I can get them on a new phone, even if it just means re-entering them into a new device. I just do not have any back up of the contacts, and need to be able to access the list on the phone.
I cannot "slide to unlock", so I am unable to navigate the phone or install anything on the phone. When I connect to my PC with an SD card it will connect in Mass Storage mode, and I can access the SD card only (not the phone system files). If I remove the SD card, and attempt to connect with ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center I am prompted to enter my screen lock code on the phone - which I cannot do because the digitizer is broken. I do know the lock code, if there is any way to enter it without using the touch screen.
I have been searching around quite a bit, and I found a program called MyMobiler that looks like it would work, if I could get past the lock code. I have also downloaded the Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys, which also is unable to connect to the phone until I can enter the screen lock code.
Just to clarify, I have thoroughly read over this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852189#9434585
Is there ANY way that I can get access to the phone long enough to even just physically read and re-enter my contacts? Being able to import them would be nice, but I just don't have any backup whatsoever. Thanks for your help.
****UPDATE****
Solution: By pressing 911 on the keyboard, the phone assumed I was trying to make an emergency phone call and brought up the pin pad. I backspaced the 911, and typed in my unlock code. Now I am into the phone, and I can use the keyboard to navigate, and I can transfer the contacts to the computer. So glad I figured this out, and I didn't need to pay anyone to fix it for me. Good luck to anyone with the same problem.
Help!
Ive got a samsung galaxy s2 - originally it was on the UK Orange network, but since then I have flashed it with a different European firmware (unsure which one).
The screen has cracked therefore I can not use the touch screen at all.
I can not see anything on the screen except the battery level.
I need to take the data off it (pictures, vdeos etc.) which are stored on the phones internal memory.
When I connect it to my windows xp PC, it comes up in My Computer but when I try opening it it shows nothing.
I think this is because I need to unlock the screen (4 digit pin).
When I connect it to Kies, it says I need to enter the screen unlock code - But I can not due to the screen being cracked.
Only the hardware buttons work.
Is there a way I can connect the phone to my PC and get the data off?
I need somesort of app that will allow me to mimic/display the phone screen on my PC so that I can enter this screen unlock code to get into the phone.
Or can I do a refresh (restore factory setting/clear operating system) at boot up so that when it does eventually boot up into the welcome/set up screens, I can connect it to my PC to transfer the data off?
Can someone please help?
The is the Galaxy S 3 forums man, try the Galaxy S 2 threads.

Go to google play on your PC. Log into the google account for that phone. Install "Android Lost" from the market and download your data with it. It's a beta test program but it's free. If it doesn't work you only lost time.
When installed you got to androidlost.com to use it's tools such as wiping the data, or backing it up. I've used it to find phone location, make the phone talk, and take pics from the cameras (in case it's stolen). But I've never tested wiping or backing up data.
I was given a cheap nasty tablet from family member after it was dropped it wouldn't turn on so opened it up checked all connection inside and found lose batt connector so pushed that in and it works again
But now it seam stuck on the boot screen with white ANDROID_ on the Screen
When i was inside tablet i noticed on mainboard a 4Gb SD card that's fixed this must be were the android OS is installed what i want to do is find a version of android that i can replace the original with as i think it maybe buggered and not loading
When i remove it and boot device it wont load boot screen with white ANDROID_ then when its in it seam to stick on this screen
Anyone have an idea of a suitable version i can use and safest way to extract it to SD card so that it works
Hope some can help us with this
