[Q] Retrieving files with a dead screen - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I just broke my nexus 5 screen but the device is still working. I'd like to retrieve some files from my phone before buying a new one, like pictures or SMS for example.
Here is what I can do :
- Boot in fastboot mode
- Flash a custom recovery (ex : TWRP)
Here is what is not working :
- Device is not recognized in Windows file folder, then I suppose that MTP is not enabled
- no developer mode enabled
- no USB debugging mode enabled
- Then ADB is not working
By the way, the device is not unlocked and not rooted.
I tried to flash and boot into TWRP mode but I don't know how to "drive" it from my computer as the device screen is not working.
Could somebody help me please ?

Then i suppose there is nothing you can do if almost nothing works and adb doesn`t recognise your phone, good luck mate
BTW next time enable google foto`s backup.

Using ADB would have been to easy
There is nothing I can do with a custom recovery ? or a modified boot ?

You can`t, the bootloader is locked so you can`t flash custom stuff like a recovery. And even then you couldn`t know what buttons you`ld press if you can`t see what you`re doing.

Unlocking the device wipes the device, so this kills the whole purpouse of your question. Might as well do nothing and get the phone repaired or buy a another one.

if bl is not unlocked... you won't be able to flash a custom recovery to use ADB to pull files.. so.. you're done here.

I maybe found a solution but I need a specific apk.
I may use the sideload mode to push and install a ROM or an apk. The best would be to push/install an apk from sideload mode, and this apk would automatically launch itself at device startup and will activate USB debugging mode which will allow me to fully use adb.
What do you think about that ? Would you know an apk which would do that ?
Or secondary option, push a specific ROM with USB debugging enabled by default. But I'm afraid that it could erase all my data.

Have you tried a TV out adapter?

Well I guess you're a bit stuck unfortunately.

Can you try ubuntu.
download a live cd version and boot into ubuntu or maybe a smaller version of linux (i know ubuntu works)
once booted into ubuntu plug in the phone.
usually linux can read the file system even when windows can't

You can't flash anything unsigned with stock recovery.

Yes it does. And it's responding in fastboot and sideload mode. So the phone is working, it's just the screen which ia dead.

The only way is to install a custom recovery. There is no other way. However as you said, unlocking the bootloader will erase everything.

sorry that did not work.
when connected to ubuntu and you type "fastboot devices" do you get a response?
If so ubuntu can not browse file system in fastboot mode, you need to reboot back to the OS.
type fastboot reboot and when the phone reboots try to browse the file system.

Nexus doesn't show up when connected to PC via USB

Hi, I've got a Nexus S 4g. I recently tried to flash it with the stock Jelly Bean image from Google's developer page - developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. While I was running flash-all.sh, the flash appeared to finish, and my terminal just said <waiting for device>. The device does boot up, and is functional, however, I can't get this thing to connect to any of my PCs via USB.
I've plugged it into my 12.10 Ubuntu laptop, and run lsusb. The device isn't listed at all, so adb doesn't work. I've also booted the phone into fastboot, and lsusb still doesn't list it (so fastboot devices doesn't list anything either). I've also plugged it into my Arch box, and tried the same steps with the same results. Before I flashed the phone, I was able to debug just fine on both machines.
Has anyone seen this behavior before? Is there any way to fix it? I've spent a bunch of time searching around for this problem, and haven't seen much. Thanks.
Well, crap. It looks like I flashed the wrong image to my phone. I've got a Nexus S 4G (d720), and it appears I flashed the i9020 image. That's what has probably caused my issue. Does anyone know if there's any way to recover from this?

The problem is that I flashed the wrong image to my device. I'm pretty sure it's hosed. The phone works fine - it boots up, I can get on wifi, but I just can't connect via USB. The image I flashed must have different USB drivers than what my device has. It looks like I'm stuck with it, or I will see if someone can "unbrick" it, and flash the proper image to it.
Well since you have unlocked bootloader I guess you have custom recovery and are rooted as well. You can download a custom rom, safe your app data with titanium backup, factory reset and wipe cache in recovery and flash proper rom. Then the drivers should work again and you can flash the correct image if wanted.

[Q] halfbrick? adb doesn't work but Fastboot does

Hi guys,
I wiped everything by mistake in TWRP 2.8.4.0 and now I'm puzzled... I did a FULL (yeah....) wipe before flashing a custom ROM, but then, everything was gone, of course.
I still have access to TWRP ; the bootloader is unlocked ; was on JB 4.2 .
So I tried to put a Rom back into the memory of the Tab, but :
1/ TWRP won't mount my SD card with a ROM on it... Does anyone have an idea why?
2/ adb doesn't recognize the device... but "fastboot devices" does! So I have access to all the fastboot commands.. Sadly, it doesn't flash any .zip.
So I'm guessing I have to solve the SD card problem OR flash a system.img with flashboot...?
I don't know what to do. I read that an older version of TWRP might mount my SDcard, but I'm quite scared to try and flash another recovery, since I'm not sure it will not definitely brick the thing.
Thanks for any answer

But the drivers are already installed, that's why I don't get why adb doesn't work.
as for the MTP, I can't get to it, since there is no ROM installed on the tab anymore : when I switch it on, it stays stuck on the ASUS logo, but is not detected by the computer.
Do you know where I could get an image of a stock firmware to flash with fastboot? or another way to push a file?

Nope you should be able to plug it into a PC and move files to it drag and drop the zip ....
But you should still have adb working, it is a must have when messing with android ...

Hi dandystrion,
Sorry i cant give an answer, but MTP should be activated per default at twrp and you should have your device as a drive on PC.
I'm intessted on how did you flash twrp on an unlocked bootloader? I fighting with my tf700 since October to unlock my bootloader to install CyanogenMod. I did a lots of tickets and RMA, which didn't helps.
Can you give me a link or a short explanation how I can flash twrp?
Thanks

I unlocked the bootloader with the Transformer Toolkit v3.2.0 (I can't post a link since I'm a new member, but google it up, you'll find easily) and flashed TWRP 2.8.4 with fastboot without any problem. Hope it will work out for you.

Thanks man.
Well the PC does not see the tablet. I'm quite sure of my drivers since adb worked fine until I messed up (the drivers were installed through the latest version of Asus Pad Pc Suite)... I tried a adb sideload too : no connection.
I'll be glad to get some help.
Tried a thrid, empty brand new sdcard, and it did the trick.
Still don't know why adb wouldn't work, but now it's fine, so... :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for the help
I have checked it. But it is based on the Asus Unlock Tool, which doesn't work for me in the past!
Thanks

Use fastboot & ADB guide for beginners. Download all required files so your PC can Connect to OPO VIA USB from PC. What PC OS do u use? Windows or Linux. Watch how to unlock boot loader, root, & install recovery tool or Return to stock OnePlus one YouTube video. Easiest start. Your phone will be OK. U need to down load drivers so u can use your PC to talk to your phone - pass instruction & activate 1+1 options. Install CM 11 or whatever ROM u want to use, as well as, 1+1 tools u may have lost is Recovery Tool.

You don't need a recovery to unlock the bootloader. Just boot it into fastboot mode, connect it to your Mac, and type 'fastboot oem-unlock' on the Terminal. Be careful, though, because you WILL lose ALL of your data!

Did u find the fastboot & adb tools for Mac?
What happens when u hold volume key up + power button at same time after turning device off?
What happens if u $fastboot devices -
Can u issue cmd "$fastboot oem unlock"
Know its frustrating but have to keep trying till u get in. Just have the rom files unzipped on your Mac ready to flash 1+1 when u get in. Its how I did it. When I wasn't able to but into recovery. Get on fastboot go thru OEM unlock, then flash 1+1. Follow the install script manually. Open script w plain text reader & just issue cmds following script. I don't trust scripts I + automation to get things unstuck.

Use Google, there are plenty of guides available online. Once you have fastboot working the best thing to do is to flash the stock images with fastboot. I have detailed instructions in section 8a of my guide here:

Please note that fastboot commands are slightly different on a Mac but you'll see that when you view a guide on how to set it up and use it.

You definitely can't boot into recovery? Most times not being able to get into recovery it's a case of user error. Hold volume down, then hold power (so you're holding them together), when you see the OnePlus boot logo let go of power but keep holding volume down until you reach recovery.

How to root zenfone 7 ZS670KS

hello guys
how do i root this phone please.
none of the google searched guides seem to work.
1. i've unlocked the bootloader using the asus app
2. i have adb installed on my pc
3. i've enabled usb debug mode on phone and allowing installation unknown apps
4. i've installed magisk v23 by downloading from github and just installing the apk file normally
5. i've downloaded a 2.9gb zip file from asus for androind 11 firmware onto phone and pc (but its a zip file that extracts a bin file, no image file)
my problem seems to be i don't know how to CREATE AND PATCH an image file or install twrp and install image file that way.
Could someone help, there doesn't seem to be any guides for rooting in this phones forum.
Look in the twrp thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-official-twrp-for-asus-zenfone-7-series.4161719/
after twrp you can flash the magisk.zip

i keep getting era waiting for device when i want to flash the phoben with twrp.
adb reboot bootloader (works and i enter the recovery menu start, bootloader, recovery, power off etc)
fastboot flash recovery_a twrp.img (when i type this cmd power shell just says waiting for device)
i have universal drivers installed and android sdk installed. not sure why it isn't recognising the phone?
When my phone is switched on normally, cmd recognises it, when i use adb devices. but as soon as i reboot into recovery mode using cmd "adb reboot bootloader" it stops recognising the phone on the list of devices using the cmd "adb devices"
so you don`t get an answer from your phone by "fastboot devices" ?
Have you tried another usb cable and or port?

no answer from phone when in fastboot mode.

I'll try with another cable, but if it responds to adb when in normal mode. doesn't it mean it's not a cable issue but a software driver issue?

seems when i do adb reboot bootloader it goes into what i thought was called fastboot. It even says fastboot.
but in that mode my phone isn't recognised by cmd when type adb devices, it doesn't come up.
it has 4 options reboot system now, botloader, enter recovery, reboot to bootloader, power off.
if i then select enter recovery. it enters a smaller text screen with lots of small blue writing. when inside that screen (recovery mode) cmd seems to recognise my device.
but it says it is unauthorized. this is in recovery mode.
i'm not sure why it says it is unauthorized. i've authorised my pc to control the phone through the fingerprint, when the message popped up.
but i can't push the twrp.img file through because of this.
since cmd doesn't seem to recognise phone in fastboot mode.
and cmd doesn't seem to have authorisation in recovery mode.
any ideas?
is it possible to root using adb sideload or install twrp using adb sideload?

Thats the right mode.
Does the phone at normal start show that the bootloader is unlocked?
Your debugging mode is turned on in developer settings?
A sideload isn`t possible I think.

yes, shows bootloader is unlocked when i start the phone.
usb debugging mode is turned on.
i think for some reason in fastboot mode the device driver is not recognised in windows. have googled seems it was a very old problem that happned on phones 6 years ago. nut i haven't found anything recent to solve same error.

So you can just try it on another pc.
Have you changed from USB 3 port to a USB 2?
My Xiaomi mix2s had sometimes this too. That's worked for me.

i think its definitely a driver issue. windows 10 seems to be overriding the drivers and installing wrong ones. and won't let me install right ones.

but when i opne magisk it shows install icons for magisk and an unknown App. both listed as version 23.0.

So you can just try it on another pc.
Have you changed from USB 3 port to a USB 2?
My Xiaomi mix2s had sometimes this too. That's worked for me.

I'm not sure.
i only managed to root it by following the instructions here years ago.
maybe try updating the asus apps in play store? or ask some of the other people here who know more than me. or disable the asus apps. i don't use them.
sorry i couldn't help more

Help! Pixel 2 dead screen unrooted, ADB not enabled. need to access data

my pixel two screen died.. google backup restore joke service failed to restore sms or app setting to new phone. i need to grab that data from the old phone but cant see or use the screen, phone is not rooted and adb debugging not enabled. and i am not much more than a novice ahhhhhh!
The same happened to me. Try using vysor in pc. It shows your Mobile screen on pc. It worked for me. You dont need to install vysor n your mobile. Pc verion will auto install it on your device.

thanks for the help but im not sure if I had twrp after all . no matter what i can't get past the adb device "unauthorized" state. turns out the pixel2 is unique in not supporting usb-c to hdmi - thanks Google. i tried unified toolkit and vysor. next thing i might try is a hammer and send the pulverized phone back to Google.
