Pull storage from damaged device - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I accidentally dropped my nexus 5 and I need to replace my display but unfortunately I haven't backed up my data (mostly pictures I'm worrying about the most). So is there a way to pull the storage from it? I've tried with adb and it doesn't work because it doesn't list my device.
I really hope there is a way to do it.

If USB works and its not detecting adb, then its set up wrong. Adb is the only way if both touch and display are broken.
Please click the link in my signature and read the adb and fastboot thread. It will tell you how to set it up properly

Does it matter if I had an unlock code for my lockscreen?

Yes it does.
Don't suppose you have a custom recovery do you?

I can't seem to make it work.
In "adb devices", it shows a device listed but in "fastboot devices" it doesn't show any device. When I tried to boot into fastboot mode I couldn't tell if I booted correctly because it shows the same thing as when I boot it normally.
I tried using the command "adb pull data/media/0 C:\adb\sdcard_25082014" and it gave me the error "remote object data/media/0 does not exist".
What should I do?

I installed the adb in 15 seconds thing and then I followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/noob-read-adb-fastboot-how-hep-t2807273
Please tell me what have I done wrong because I can't seem to figure it out.

Unfortunately I don't know a solution to your problem, but your data shouldn't get lost when you replace the screen.
I replaced mine a week ago. Actually it was very easy. The most difficult part was removing the backcover.
The parts inside of the device are fixed with a little bit of glue which is not strong at all.
The whole replacement took me around 20 Minutes and I have never done something like that before.
After that everything was still on my phone.
And if your device doesn't get recognized from your computer in fastboot mode you should try the universal adb driver. This works perfectly for my Nexus 5.

Are you SURE you're in recovery?
You got an error when you mounted data
Edit, well you got 2 errors...
The first error you got was the "usage" line. That means it thinks you typed "mount data" as an incomplete command. It IS incomplete if you're booted into android. Its not incomplete if you're in recovery. So I dont think you're in recovery.
The second error is "remote object doesnt exist". That's because you haven't mounted data.
To ensure youre in recovery, either:
1) Boot into android and then "adb reboot recovery"
2) From off, hold vol down and press power to get to bootloader. Press vol up TWICE then press power

Build.prop

I have the Motorola Fire XT rooted and deleted the build.prop file in the system. I have a back - up of the file on my computer but not my phone. I need to figure out a way how to put it on my phone. My phone is in a boot loop. Any help? Thanks.
You could push it to your device via adb. This can be done manually or you could use a tool such as this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599332.
You need adb. Install adb and put the build.prop file in the same folder as adb and use the command "adb push build.prop /system"

What can one do if this action is needed (running ADB) but the user haven't turned on USB-Debuggning, nor can enter the recovery mode.

Hello,
Yes I do.
I can't get into recovery mode because the device gets stuck at the logo.
I know it's the correct buttons being pressed as I do have another same tablet which enters recovery without problems.
If you mean fastboot via USB-Debugging? Well I can't do any ADB because I don't have USB-debugging enabled.
Any idea how to rescue this tab?

If resetting the device doesn't work, you don't have access to recovery mode/bootloader/fastboot or even download mode (depending on your device), then there is pretty much nothing you can really do to fix it yourself. The only other possibility would be to try to run the stock ruu (if it has one).

Thanks for the suggestions, but that would suck
Must be something I can do.
It's a Chinese brand tablet, the quality is good but this is the only issue.
However, if I plug in the tablet to the computer, something called "WinDroid Linker" shows up on the PC and I remote to the tablet while I'm on the screen that says I need to do a factory reset. From there I can reach keyboard settings, but that's all I've figured out so far.
Due to the fact that I'm able to remote the tablet, shouldn't I be able to do something from there?
I'm not, however, able to reach the storage as far as I know.
Thanks

If you can get into recovery mode, find the mount options. Mount /system. Then adb push the file to your phone.

Ya but if im in recovery my phone wont show up in the listed devices. And now my device wont show up as its booting up. If there is a way for adb to recognize the phone in recovery that would be great.
If you have adb properly setup it should see it in recovery. What recovery are youbusing? I do this stuff in clockwork all the time when I'm porting roms.

Power Button Broken, no more custom roms?

So my power button has been broken for a couple months now and I've been using the same custom rom since. (BTW it's not the outside button, but the actual switch that's broken)
Is there any way to install a custom rom using ODIN? Or is odin only capable of installing stock roms because of the file type?
My phone wont allow me to get into the custom recovery, but I can get into Download mode.
Please help!

Idk about using Odin for custom tars, but I imagine it would take someone more effort than its worth to compile one just for this purpose. When you try booting into download mode, how are you doing this? And how are you booting into recovery? What happens once it gets there?
You could also just get the power button fixed. Then all your problems are solved.
Mobile tech videos will do it.

adb reboot recovery
Actually if you didn't want to bother with setting up adb I'd imagine you could just type 'su' press enter, type'reboot recovery' and press enter into of the many terminal emulators in the play store.

Kinda off topic here, but is there a thread with the common commands for terminal? Like to reboot, delete files, move files, and such.

Not sure how you get into download but not recovery since the procedure is same except use volume up instead of volume down. Also the Quickboot app/widget is much easier than terminal emulator if just need to get to reboot/recovery or download modes. Enables the extended power menu same as the power button.
Mobile tech videos Did a great job repairing my broken power switch. Pretty quick turn around.

I have a similar problem, but when I use the terminal commands or any app to reboot into recovery, the phone vibrates and turns off but then stays off until I pull the battery and replace it. Also, when I try to go into download mode, it comes up for about 5 seconds then turns off (similar to SDS). Any thoughts? I originally planned to try to switch roms and see if that would fix the power button issue, but if it's hardware, I'll try to unroot and take it too Verizon as a last ditch attempt.
Also, when I take the back case off and put it back on, the power on/off screen pops up.
Thanks!
I have the same exact problem as the guy above buy my power button is just completely borked.
I thought I could get into download mode but that doesn't work either.
I'm going to try and resolder the replacement power button I purchased that didn't work.

I think the rom your trying to flash is bad …
Phone starting but getting stuck at boot screen means it's soft bricked, try flashing a different rom …
And once you manage to get your phone running use ''recovery tools'' from play store to flash a custom recovery, it flashes a touch recovery so that will eliminate your button problems …
No my phone operates fine. When I attempt to get into recovery, it restarts, a brief screen appears where it says "rebooting recovery" on the top left, and then it stays black. TO get out of this I go into Download Mode, and press Cancel to Restart.
I'm currently using CyanogenMOD 10.1.2.
At this point I'm thinking of just going to a mobile phone repair store...

That makes perfect sense. In fastboot use fastboot devices. Or do you mean even using fastboot commands it doesn't recognize the device. I had the opposite problem before where fastboot would work and adb wouldn't. I had to reinstall drivers. Google naked usb drivers and try those.

Nexus 5 soft bricked after installing the wrong kernel

So i have a big problem, i acidentally downloaded the wrong kernel for my Nexus 5 (acidenttly got the nexus 4 versionb of Hells-core instead of the N5 version.) and flashed it, Now my phone wont boot nor can i access recovery or the bootloader. BUT when i plug it into my computer it tries to install drivers but fails because it cant find them, So im pretty sure its not a paper weight. Im running windows xp and was using carbon. If ANYONE can help please let me know.

i managed to get it into recovery as well as fastboot. but now when i try to do my recovery backup it causes the same error i was having i.e it would be detected by my laptop but i cant see anything. i may have to do a complete factory restore and see what happenes. Its kinda sad my GF with really NO android experience helped me get it into bootloader WHICH for anyone that has an issue similar to mine where your PC detects your device but you cant see anything on the screen hold down both up and down + power to get into bootloader. if it doesnt work at first hold down down + power (while its still connected to your pc so you can hear it feject) as soon as you hear the eject noise press and up down+up+power and you will be in bootloader

Need to salvage data from rooted Nexus with Broken screen.

Hey everyone! I've been taking help from you people at XDA for quite a while and I never needed to make an account before this.
First off, I would like to thank everyone at the website who contributes in any way. You guys make things a lot easier. :good:
I have a Nexus 5 and I wasn't very fortunate at one of my previous football matches. The screen broke and came off. My lockscreen has a pattern which is causing all the trouble. I want to get my files back from my phone but I don't know how. My phone is rooted and running stock, I do have a custom recovery and I've backed up my ROM. Everything is working perfectly on the phone, I was getting calls, its buzzing from notifications and the notification light is still blinking. I connected it to a PC and it shows but I can't access my data as the screen is locked. Due to some problems with windows 8.1 I turned USB debugging off as my phone wasn't being detected. I have android device manager activated but my WiFi was off when the screen broke so I cant disable the lock.
SUMMARY:
Rooted Nexus 5 running stock android with custom recovery (cwm)
USB debugging may be on/ may not be
Phone working perfectly, just no screen.
WiFi is off.
I have experience with bricked phones, flashing ROMS and stuff.
I just wanted help on how I could get my stuff back. Right now services with which I can control my phone from my PC seem like a very good idea but I can't install an APK on my phone. Please help me out guys. Also, if there are any threads which have solved this problem please link them below. I'm busy trying to get into a university.
EDIT: USB debugging MIGHT be on as I don't perfectly remember turning it off.

OP, after you get the drivers and/or sdk set up simply type:

If you see a serial number your good. Proceed to pull the entire sdcard.
If you don't see the serial number look up everything you can related to your OS and adb.

after setting up adb on pc and running it wouldnt the command "adb reboot recovery" take him to the recovery section? then he can run the command "adb pull"

Maybe, ROM settings / USB debugging / Root dependent potentially though

I should have posted a better pic. The screen isn't connected anymore, it came off completely. I can't see anything on it at all.

How do you know whether the phone is turned on or not? Notification sounds work? Try what @kunaltyagii suggested.

Yes it will. That's an excellent idea as long he has USB debugging enabled. :good:

jd, nice to see your still helping out.
OP, after you get the drivers and/or sdk set up simply type:
Code:
adb devices
If you see a serial number your good. Proceed to pull the entire sdcard.
If you don't see the serial number look up everything you can related to your OS and adb.

Yep, still around. You still have the rocket?

Connect USB
run adb devices should see something like:
Code:
H:\>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

Thanks a bunch! I dont think my hardware keys are working properly. I turned my phone off by disconencting the battery conenctions. I tried booting into recovery but my phone turned on normally instead. I tried "adb devices" and luckily it showed my serial number followed by "device". I just randomly tried "adb pull sdcard/music" and it worked! So now I have access to all my files. Could you guys post some links to advanced push and pull commands? I dont want to pull everything, I want my folder trees so that I can only take out the important stuff.

Google 15 second adb drivers xda. That'll set it up for you.

Thanks again! I wouldn't have gotten anywhere without this!
New problem: I did all that on my friends pc which has windows 7 and all the Nexus 5 drivers installed. I myself have a windows 8.1 laptop and after one of the recent updates my phone stopped showing. I tried Wugfresh's Nexus root toolkit but I didn't get anywhere. Help? XP
There aren't really any advanced adb push or pull commands.
Regards to new problem see link in signature. Read section 1b.
On windows 8.1 I had to do 1b1 and 1b2 today

I just uninstalled my previous drivers, updated windows and then reconnected my phone. Surprisingly the phone started showing! I had already done 1B1 earlier today. Thanks a lot guys. Everything has been solved. :good:
EDIT: I tried "adb pull sdcard/folder" and only the subfolders of that folder got copied, the files inside that folder didn't. Also, it said "no such directory exists" halfway through.
Awesome
