Hi guys, Galaxy S4 (I9505) owner
Screen stopped working, USB debugging enabled but adb unauthorized so can not do anything
Airdroid works, want to backup my stuff but no data.
Is there an app I can install that will automattically turn my wifi on upon instal without me needing to do anything on the phone?
Any help would be greatly apprciated!
Thanls
Hi,
Not one that I can think of, there are apps Luke trickster that can do this but would need to be set up first, not auto on when installed. Maybe borrow a sim with data.
But feel free to ask your question at the general q&a forum found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help
Someone may know of a trick for you
Best of luck!

Hello,
I got a so called "Lenovo K3" that turned out to be a clone... trying to get rid of some annoying Chinese apps, I used Uninstaller app. I accidentally froze a system app and found out I cannot unfreeze it without purchasing the PRO ver. The thing is ever since that I cannot install any new apps (I get ERROR 110) or even copy it to the system folder....
Another stupid thing I did was to restore it to "Factory Settings" chnging nothing of thr problem but loosing all of my already installed apps!!!!
I did that after trying to follow a procedure by someone who apparently had same situation, he resolved it by rebooting to recovery using ADB and then copying the "DefaultContainerService.apk" to the System/app folder
I manged to use ADB but once the phone booted to recovery mode I lost connection (USB) and nothing I did helped.
SO-
I have a Chinese phone not sure if the CPU is MTK 6589 or 6582 , 512MB , 960*540 ( I remember the details from when I had an info app)
I cannot install anything (Error 110)
I cannot connect using ADB while in recovery mode
I cannot copy to System folder (Permissions)
I have no idea which ROM I can use to flash it and I was not able to connect to it when it is OFF (Only when running)
I have no apps on it execpt some basic apps
I think it is still rooted if Factory reset did not change that
Mmmmmm any ideas???
Thanks!

Im trying to access the data on a Galaxy S4 on which the screen is not working at all(no backlight and doesn't respond to touch). the data I mainly require is the contacts.db file. what I have tried sofar:
1. tried to access the data via USB but cant access the content due to the lock on the phone.
2. tried to access the data with KIES but once again failed to do so due to the lock on the phone.
3. Downloaded the ADB shell and installed the required USB drivers but cant access the phone, when running the command "adb devices" it says no devices found which I think is because the USB Debugging setting on the phone is not enabled.
4. Also tried to sync with the Google account but unfortunately it was not setup to sync contacts with the Google account.
Some other suggestions were to get another S4 and connect its screen to the the one in question which im sure will work but is there no other way to access the data or to somehow remove the pattern lock from the phone? maybe using another platform to gain full access to the phone or anything?

Hi everyone and thank you really a lot for your support! I really don't know who I can ask else about my problem..
You can blame me a bit for my mistakes.. but you may blame much more Samsung for their softwares, they are complicating our life.
I have a S4 mini and as beginner (for Android) I decided to upgrade it with CM12 and Lollipop 5.1, all worked fine but:
As I dis always with Nokia, confident that a backup manager from the brand will be the best way to backup and manage contacts in our PC, I installed the first manager it appear to me as "it", Kies 3.2. It worked because the previous FW was 4.2, it asked to upgrade to Smart Switch but I refused to do, I just needed save the contacts.. so wtf.
After upgrade Kies showed I need to upgrade to Smart Switch and Smart Switch showed that this phone is not compatible (????). Trying use Kies 2.6 (as it can open the contacts and export them on vcf) it can't read the file made by Kies 3.2.. and the spb file itself is encrypted/compressed for extract any information.
Now how can I restore contacts?? Smart Switch doesn't start without a phone connected (and by the way, I also don't know if it has a contact manager!), the phone with it doesn't work (maybe bcause it founds an unbelievable Lollipop on a S4 mini?), as i searched there are no android applications who can read spb or other external softwares..
How could I extract the contact names from this .spb now?
Any chance to make Smart Switch see the phone?
Thank you a lot!

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
Sorry to hear about your trouble. We cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist but fortunately there is an XDA area dedicated to the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini which would be a good starting place. I suggest you post your question with all relevant details in the friendly Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/help where the experts familiar with your device will be best able to guide you. Once you retrieve your contacts (or create a new contacts list), you should probably routinely save them as part of your Google or Samsung accounts instead of relying on Kies.
Good luck!
Thank you, I wrote there!
I recently installed GL tools on my android device, but since i give it SU permission the phone is praticlly dead! It turns on normally but i dont have acess to basicly nothing..

Hi,
Here is the dedicated thread for GL tools, you can ask about this there, http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-gltools-1-29-t2828630
Or, in your devices Q&A section on XDA, if there is one.... But you did not mention your device make and model number.
Good luck!
Forenote: I believe I am in the correct forums section but If I am not, please redirect me. Thanks.
My phone is rooted. I have kingroot installed.
I am trying to spoof my mac address on my android for wifi. I have downloaded just about every app on the Playstore that has to do with automatic MAC spoofing/changing. I have gotten two apps to work. The app "MacSpoofer" (and another app I cannot remember) that have appeared to change my mac address, but when I try and use the internet I cannot connect to anything.
It says I have correctly spoofed my mac, and it displays two mac addresses; my original mac address, and then below it, it shows the new mac address that it has given me to use, but when I try to connect to the internet on the wifi it cannot connect to anything.
If anyone has a solution to my problem or another app I could use from the playstore that would work with my phone, or a guide I'd appreciate it.
Hi,
Here is the section for your device, http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/galaxy-core-prime
You could ask there for help. My guess though, is that since you rooted with kingroot, you still have a write protected system, and therefore can't accomplish this. Just a guess though, as I don't know about your specif device. The folks in the section above do though.
Maybe this could help too, http://www.xda-developers.com/spoof-your-mac-address-the-easy-way/
Good luck!
