The reason I'm asking this is (no, I am not a retard) because my phone's display is not working, however, the touch is still working. I wanted to take my phone to my carrier to get the screen fixed and to be on the safe side, I wanted to lock the bootloader.
I just need the images step by step in ICS that way I know where in the screen I have to touch to enable USB debugging

You don't lock the bootloader while you're booted though, you do that with fastboot...
why?
i would just fry out the phone and get a full swap at that point. just me though

A mistery with my nexus
Hello! First sorry for my bad english.
I'm running stock android 6.0 (developer preview 3) by stephanmc.
I installed months ago the twrp recovery wich I currently hace.
Since a few days ago , my phone began to charge the battery very slowly and stop being recognized by the PC.
I discovered that is charging in USB mode when it is actually connected to the wall. I'm using the original cable and charger of the nexus. I have already used other cables and its the same results.
The curious thing is that when this happens ( because if I restart the phone many times eventually works well for a while) is when my phone doesnt boot in bootloader. I discovered that a black screen appears when I reset the phone in bootloader mode. And if I restart the phone many times until the bootloader is visible , the phone charge and is recognized by the PC.
Anyone know what might be happening ? I'm from Uruguay and I have no guarantee!
Thanks and regards!
Something similar happened to me once because I changed something in the kernel I should have not. Don't remember what but update the kernel and I was fine after that.

USB recognizability in M Preview is a bit buggy for now, you have to switch your mode to MTP when you connect the device to the PC.
About bootloader, what do you mean by "reset the phone in bootloader" ?
make sure you have at least Lollipop bootloader installed, then let me know.
Thanks

Hi! Thank you both for your answers. My english is bad and even more when talking about phone's components and stuff.
I meant to say that when I hold the power button and vol down with my phone off, or power button + vol down + vol up, most of the times I recieve a black screen on my dipslay.
I'm pretty sure I have the lollipop bootloader because I installed your 6.0 ROM from twrp on 5.1.1 stock, having already this issue.
I'm afraid to try installing the factory image because when I get to the bootloader the good news don't last too long and suddenly the bootloader isn't working again
Another data is that when I try to change the USB connection mode from the developer menu on settings I recieve this message: "Unfortunately, settings has stopped".
Do you think I may have a deffective usb port or/and flex cable?

Do not worry about your English I'm not a native speaker too, so I can understand this .
The best way to know if bootloader haven't an issue, is to try to boot in that mode from command line: adb reboot bootloader
Some more questions:
You state that you already had this issue on Lollipop stock?
What do you mean by " don't last too long and suddenly isn't working again" ? You mean the phone reboots itself without doing anything ? Or the screen of green Android in bootloader becomes black and you still are in bootloader mode?
Have you then installed my rom in the clean way i described ?
I would like to have the exact steps by steps of what you have
Thanks

Hi! Sorry for not responding before! I've been very busy with the university.
If I can acces to the bootloader (MOST of the times I can't, It's really a pain in the *#@) my pc does recognize the phone in that mode, and I can even go to the recovery and mount the data. Sometimes if I reboot the phone after that it works well for a little while.
The other times the pc doesnt recognize the phone at all, if I connect the phone it only starts charging, not leting me to change the connection mode (settings has stopped).
What do you mean by " don't last too long and suddenly isn't working again" ? You mean the phone reboots itself without doing anything ? Or the screen of green Android in bootloader becomes black and you still are in bootloader mode?
No, I've never been too long in bootloader to check that, but I dont think so. I meaned that if I start the phone in that moment (when the phone boots into bootloader mode) it works well but only for a little while.
Most of the times that I try to boot into bootloader the phone vibrates once and then a black screen appears. I tried rebooting the phone into bootloader mode from an app, but its the same result that pressing the buttons of the phone.
Yeah I had this problem on stock 5.1.1 too.
I installed your rom in the way that you described!
Thanks!!
Bump
Someone knows a possible solution? It is possible that I have the data pins of the port broken? Or the USB flex board half broken? Idk.
So today I really messed up by flashing firmware on my GS7 (SM-G930P) and now it will boot up, and everything, but only will stay on for a minute or two before turning off and rebooting. And to make things worse, I flashed it, and now because of the very first start up menu, I dont have enough time to finish the menu, go into the settings, and enable USB Debugging. So my question is, is how would I enable USB Debugging alternatively to in the normal settings? I have no warranty on the phone, so I cant send it back, and am just averagely experienced with odin and using a command propt.
Hi there,
Please take a close look at this previous response from my colleague sawdoctor:

I'm checking out my sister's phone that she dropped and broke the screen. Device boots up, since I can feel the vibration and hear alarms but the screen is dead. Debugging was not enabled, bone stock. I can see it in fastboot, but I'm not sure if there is a specific mode to be in to allow ADB for this device. I've read Downloader mode, which should be 3 spots below where Fastboot drops you, but I get no change. Anyone have a suggestion on how to pull the old data off?

You can only have adb connectivity when booted in the OS and usb debugging must be ON. You must also allow your computer RSA key from your phone at the first attempt to use adb.
adb can also be used form a custom recovery (even with debbug off) but if the phone was still stock it's bootloader is probably locked... Unlocking the bootloader will wipe data (and a working screen is also needed to unlock it).
At this point I think replacing the display would be the only option...
Sorry

Pretty much confirmed my thought. Thanks for the glance.
So I got a Samsung galaxy s7, and I left it at my mothers home when I had to take care of my grandmother. 3 months later, I seem to have forgotten the pattern I used and am locked out of the phone. I've tried a few different solutions to my problem and I can't seem to find a method to unlock the phone without losing all my data. Additionally I don't have TWRP installed and the usb debug mode is not enabled, I also believe airplane mode is on. My phone however is not carrier locked, if that makes any difference. Is there a way to bypass the pattern instead with finger print scan?
I've tried:
- Remotely unlocking the phone via wifi and "findmymobile.samsung.com" for whatever reasons my phone isn't connecting to wifi and I can't get it to unlock. Is there a way to enable wifi when its locked?
- Using "Aroma File manager", unfortunately I get an error message "signature verification failed" from my understanding I can disable this via "TWRP". However because my phone is locked I can't install it. Is there away to remove signature verification another way?
What option do I have left?
Thank you for all your help

Thank you for your response. I am aware you can use twrp to bypass a locked screen. The issue is, how do i install it if i'm already locked out and don't have usb debug mode turned on. Is there still away to install it?

You dont need usb debugging on. Just boot to download mode and flash twrp with odin
Hi people.
I have a Pixel 2 which dropped and contains a file I really want to get a hold of. After it dropped, the screen was completely black, but the phone was responsive. I can't seem to get it to work in Recovery, so assuming it's dead and not just BSOD.
Now, I could still "use" it via my smartwatch, but obviously after rebooting, I now need to type in my pin before I can simply unlock it with my fingerprint. I seem to be able to do this, as, when I restart the phone, it doesn't mount as USB, but when I then plug in a keyboard and type "space space pin enter" after, and then plug it into the PC, it is mounted, but I still can't see any files.
Anybody know if I now still need to enable mass storage instead of MTP or something like that, and what keyboard shortcuts I would need to do this?
Or any other method to get hold of the files?
I have tried adb, but it doesn't see any devices, so I'm guessing developer mode is turned off.

If I remember correctly you can still use fastboot boot with a locked bootloader. In that case download TWRP, reboot phone into bootloader and do fastboot boot /path/to/twrp.img. That should get you a storage device once twrp is booted, then pull the file out

Thanks so much Muhammad. The problem is, the screen is completely black, so I can't see anything, even in the bootloader. I guess I can install TWRP from the browser on my PC, but not sure if it will install until I've unlocked the phone, for instance, which brings me back to square one. But I'll see if that's possible using my other phone, though it still runs Android 5, not sure if they will behave the same.
