I am so stuck, can somebody please assist me here... I know there has got to be a way somehow.

I can only try to get this started since I'm leaving town in about 1/2 hour, so maybe this'll help or I hope so:
If the phone is otherwise working OK, and the reason there's "NO SDCARD" is because you didn't physically put one in, then you've still got hope to grab stuff from the internal /sdcard, or anyplace internal. I suppose you must have had USB debugging turned off on the phone. OK: Here is one possible path but it depends on this question:
Can you get to the fastboot screen: (I think on Razr HD, it is +-(Vol) and (Pwr) simultaneously for a few seconds, then let go, wait a few seconds and go to wherever you keep fastboot or mfastboot (and probably adb). On my system it is in /android-system-sdk/platform-tools/. If you need it you can google it and get those tools for your platform (PC/MAC). Instructions once you get a device number back from this: "fastboot devices":
- Get a copy of Philz Touch (maybe other recoveries do the same thing, but I know Philz does) and put it in that same folder as the platform-tools.
- If you got the fastboot devices OK, then try to flash the recovery which will be like this: "fastboot flash recovery {name_of_recovery_above}"
- Using fastboot, do "fastboot reboot-recovery", wait .. , when recovery has booted might see something in systray, but more importantly,
"adb devices" should now return a device number. Adb doesn't require anything(settings) from the phone since the phone is in recovery mode.
- assuming a lot of success ^^ , do this:
- adb shell
- su
- ls /sdcard/* and look at the output for files on the sdcard. (It should be internal sdcard, not your external non-installed one)
- /sdcard should be mounted in recovery since recovery uses it so continuing may be kind of obvious now.
- find what you want to save on /sdcard
- make sure you either can see it on the screen or cut and paste it somewhere (notepad whatever).
- type in exit, then exit, out of adb, back to shell, or cmd.
- do this to get your stuff: "adb pull /sdcard/{your stuff}" #note: If you do it by folder name, it'll just be transferrred to that same platform-tools folder.

If I can get my phone to turn off, then yes I can get it into fast boot. However, since I cannot use the touch screen, I dont think I can select the option to power the phone down. I know how to reset it though, so is there any possible chance that I can still get into hboot from resetting the phone the holding the key combination???

I do not have a m/HD anymore. But by holding all keys from the booted up state. About 5 sec of holding then toggle pwr off, on then off while continuing to hold vol +, -. This will call the bootloader. Ap fastboot is there. Search for a screen shot. Vol - to scroll too + to select. On 4.1.2 anyway.

By all keys do you mean Power + VOL- + VOL+? All at same time?
Yes. On the last pwr/toggle off, release vols too.
Not sure what else you could do if you are in camera mode.
At least you should be able to pull all your photos off. I would think that would be pretty important.
The only other thing is to replace the screen.
I have overcome this same problem with a different phone using an HD dock, the type that has the USB ports and hdmi on the back. Plug the phone into TV with hdmi, plug a mouse into a USB port on the dock.

Try to touch your screen while your HDMI is connected and displayed on your TV to confirm if your digitizer is working or not.
To navigate, try billycar11's suggestion with an otg cable and mouse?
Edit: you might want to try different sections of your screen for touch input response.
I did this once with a micro HDMI cable and a USB OTG adapter with a wireless keyboard/mouse combo plugged into it. Worked like a charm.

Hi all. I have a unique problem here... not sure if it's a software of hardware issuse. Maybe you can help me out.
My phone can read all storage space while I am in the operating system. Internal storage reports as 2.34GB, SD card (also internal) reports as 9.92GB. I have no problems copying, reading, and deleting files using "es explorer" or transfering files via various wifi file tansfer programs back and forth with my desktop.
The problem lies with the fact that I cannot use the USB port at all except to charge. Even in HBOOT the computer doesn't read it! For example, if I connect the phone to the computer while it is in HBOOT and select FASTBOOT, I do not see "FASTBOOT USB", it just remains as FASTBOOT. ADB from my computer cannot detect the phone either. I have tried all my USB ports, installed HTC USB drivers, Android SDK (and associated USB driver package), tried a different computer, tried 4 different USB cables, but none of this works.
What is strange is that yesterday the phone suddenly worked via USB! I was amazed that after 2 months of it not working it just randomly started again, but figured I did something random to make it work. Then I unplugged it and then re-plugged it and now it doesn't work again... Absolutely awkward, I hope someone can help me at least identify what the problem is!
I'm currently using the latest Cyanogen 10.1 mod (March 12th), have it unlocked, and am using CWM 5.3.6. I would really appreciate any insight or help, thanks so much in advance.
OMG now it's working again. A constant factor seems to be the use of "AirDroid"... Whenever it is open and transfering the SDCard becomes recognizable and the computer can connect... Very awkward... any ideas as to the issue?
I'm scared to touch anything on it. It's transferring some music via USB.
Now I unplugged it from my computer and the re-plugged it back in and it no longer recognizes my SDCard at all... What is going on? It seems like a software issue but what could it be?
Well now it works. I plugged it in and nothing happened so I walked away. When I came back it was asking to turn on USB mode! I wasn't using any wireless wifi transfer programs, it was just in regular home screen mode and that's all... it just decided to work... huh. This appears to be random but it can't be... there must be some reason.
Well it's still working, but I haven`t unplugged it yet. The phone rebooted itself mid-transfer for some reason, but it still can be used as a USB drive. It seems that after I had begun using the internal SDCard to store stuff on (first via wifi transfer) it has become more "recognizable" through the USB connection... Could there be something wrong with the internal SDCard itself and not the USB connection? Can I reformat it to start with a clean slate?
Like right now my card is using 90% of it's storage... and it's been more recognizable now than ever before... I used to keep it at about 10-15% usage...
Okay, now after I have transferred a bunch of songs and movies to the SDCard, I rebooted the device with the USB cable still in and now it isn't recognized at all. I changed absolutely nothing; the phone was in USB mode being able to transfer files back and forth, then I rebooted and all of a sudden the USB mode doesn't work again... Not even recognized... no ADB recognition... no Windows recognition... nothing. So strange! What could be the problem?
Well it looks like it was my actual computer. I am connecting flawlessy in USB mode to the phone with my Dads computer. I guess I have to get a new motherboard as Ive always suspected mine was on its way out.
SOLVED
Looks like the issue has been solved. After having tried many different computers, it seems as if certain computers have success with reading and recognizing the HTC than others. For example,
My personal computer: Works rarely
My Dads: Works flawlessly everytime.
My Garndmas: Works intermittently (better than my personal one)
My Moms: Works flawlessly
Now I just wonder why some USB ports work and others dont! Any ideas?

My girlfriend dropped her phone and it works but you cannot see anything on the screen because its cracked. She has a passcode lock on it when it boots up and i have no idea how to get her pictures and videos off of it. If anyone can give me some ideas of how to do this that would be awesome. She has some important pictures on there that she woulld like back.
If touch works, you could try going through the movements to enter the passcode and hope it works.
If touch doesn't work, is the bootloader unlocked? If so, boot into recovery. If you use a custom recovery like TWRP, you should have ADB access and will be able to access files on the virtual /sdcard. I don't think you can get into ADB on stock recovery, but doesn't hurt to try.
If you can't get into ADB through recovery, was USB Debugging enabled on the phone? If so, you might be able to get the files through ADB that way.
I found this, maybe it will help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620456
You'll need ADB access to use it, however.
If this phone has never been hacked, rooted, and USB debugging never enabled, I think you would just have to replace the screen. It's actually pretty easy on these phones.
Yea she's not into this at all so it is bone stock and USB debugging is not enabled. Could I somehow get a USB OTG cable and hook a hdmi cable into to get the screen to show up on a tv or something? Wish the damn thing had removable memory.
Unfortunately, these phones don't have HDMI out.
It does, however, have USB OTG so you're onto something! Try plugging in a USB keyboard. I just tried setting a passcode and I can enter it using a keyboard.
Good thinking!

Hi,
To cut a long story short, my four day old phone was run over by a bus last night and the screen shattered making it unresponsive to any touch, though the phone itself is still "working". I have a pattern lockscreen which I obviously can't undo and Android File Transfer won't let me see the data on the phone until it's unlocked - is there any way I can access the photos I have taken on the phone (they didn't upload to the cloud because I wasn't on wifi)?
If it's relevant, the bootloader is unlocked.
Thanks,
F
First up, count yourself lucky that you were not talking on the phone at the time
You should be able to get them by plugging the phone into your pc should enable you to get your photos from it.

I was running to catch said bus, tripped, phone went flying, bus moved off and crushed the phone!
I have a Mac and use Android File Transfer which won't recognise the device until the lockscreen is cleared - do you think I'll have more luck if I plug it into a Windows PC?
Should do. I am able to get stuff from mine by just plugging it into my Surface 2

Yup, that's an idea.
Or you have USB debugging enabled, try adb pull command?
The story so far - I connected the OPO to a Windows PC and it was recognised as a Portable Media Device. That's where the story ends - no files were shown.
When I carried out the same procedure with my Nexus 5, I had to switch between MTP and PTP for any files to be shown on the PC - when initially plugged in (in MTP), nothing was shown but when switched to PTP, all the photos popped up and when switched back to MTP, all data on the OPO was shown.
Obviously, I can't change the USB setting on the OPO. However, now the battery has run down, I can reboot the OPO into fastboot or recovery if required (USB debugging is enabled) with stock recovery. Is there a way of transferring data from the OPO when in recovery or fastboot mode? If there is, a step-by-step guide would be extremely appreciated.
I wasn't able to switch off the phone once the screen was damaged. Is there a way to force it to switch off using only the buttons?
Thanks,
F

SOLVED: S7 dropped > broken screen > how to recover images? Not rooted,not "usb mode"
So my wife dropped S7 to the floor and device ended up to be fully powered, but screen is now all black. Back and "software" button illuminates. I can change volume. I can take photos. So phone works, but screen is all black. Main concern is to have photos out from the phone. Contacts are synced, software etc. can be installed to new phone.
Kies finds the phone, but says that is' locked. Although phone does not have any passcodes or fingerprint, Kies cannot access to photos. Also the PC does see the device, but it won't allow me to see the contents. Find My Mobile is not activated, I think that I can't activate it now without phone. Also Smart Switch says that phone is locked. Phone settings are pretty much as out from the box. USB debugging is off, Developper options off, etc...
But I found that possible via ABD (?) I could access phone storage. Is it so? I sould start the phone to Recovery Mode / Download Mode? How to do that? Normally the phone is on and I can't switch it off. I can only soft reset is by keeping vol- + power buttons pressed for 10sec. But after that, phone just restarts to OS.
Please give hints how to proceed. What to try. New LCD is around 50USD and takes forever to get from Aliexpress/Ebay.
Why not use an external display? Hook it up to the USB-connector via an adaptor and it should work to unlock the phone using a PC-mouse.

Please help. Family photos are in the phone
Try to unlock your lock screen with a usb mouse connected via otg and swiping up with the mouse. Then connect it to the computer and try to backup your data with kies or switch.
Tried many thing how to allow the connection from another phone or computer. However it was not possible to connect, so I ordered a new screen. Once new screen installed, it was not even a challenge Ordered new screen from Aliexpress.
Hi guys,
I had Oneplus 6 for the last couple of years (stock recovery, no-root), and the screen shattered last week. since then I bought a new phone, but I can’t extract files from the old device.
The main problem is the MTP options is not checked, as well as USB debugging therefore I don't have access to it with the windows explorer . However, I think the touch is still works (at least at the bottom of it) and beside the screen – the OP6 is fully functional and my PC recognize it.
I tried to enable it via ADB, but the device is not authorized. What can I do to get my vids and pics back?

I guess the question is how broken is your phone? You cannot use adb, I think, until you enable usb debugging in developer options. To enable developer options you need to go to "about the phone" and click on build number like 7 times.
You can try uploading to google drive, or maybe use a bluetooth/maybe even usb mouse
EDIT:
I googled your problem, and this person recommends using an accessibility feature. Maybe this could help?
Hi, i had the same problem and i was going nuts with it. But i found a solution! As long as your digitizer still works, you press both up and down volume buttons at the same time for 3 seconds, and it will activate the talk back mode. You'll have to get used to it, because it's a bit finicky, but once you understand the mechanics of it, you connect your oneplus to a PC, through a USB cable, go to configurations, bluetooth & connections, USB options and select file transfer. Once you do that, you'll have access to your phone internal drive in the computer.
Hope this was helpfull!
Hey and thank you for your answer. Actually it sounds like a decent solution, but pressing the volume buttons did not turn on the talkback mode =\

Uh, that sucks. It only works once the phone is unlocked. So if you did that, made sure that you volume is on, you are not connected to Bluetooth headphones or anything like that then I donno. You might have to convince a local repair shop to give you a loner screen to get your data out for a reduced price or something. Or try clicking blindly in the right spots. Or maybe somebody comes along with a better idea.
Android phones do not support external displays, right?
I don't know about the displays, but I'll go to a lab tomorrow because i ran out of ideas
