I was using a new Nexus5 and had not enabled backups as was traveling but dropped and broke the screen.. now screen is not working and looks like logicboard/motherboard has some issues too so a replacement LCD also doesnt works(only shows pixels on it)
but the phone is still working as iit syncs and beeps on emails, bbm and whatsapp messages etc.
is there a way to recover data from it.. the most imp data to recover includes camera pics, bbm history & pics and whatspp messages and pics.
Running lollipop 5
The USB debugging is not checked and the screen lock is there so phone gets detected when connected to PC but folders are not visible.. is there any way to overcome this?

I don't suppose you have a custom recovery on your device? If so you can use adb to pull data off

Isn't it possible to install custom recovery if you can boot in bootloader?

ADB and bootloader are two different things. But if you can boot into custom recovery, you can use MTP.

The ADB and custom recovery can only work if there is a display.. without that not an option to fiddle anything.. In my humble opinion the solution will be somewhere on the hardware level getting access to the file system

Actually it is. You need to be sure to turn your phone off first. Then manually boot to bootloader (power+volume down button). When you connect the phone to PC it will recognize it.

I guess you can do a adb pull without display.
1. Reboot into bootloader - Requires no display
2. Move to recovery - guess two Vol- press, again requires no display
3. U should be having recovery version of adb once into recovery
4. Use adb pull to get all the files -- Requires no display.
So i guess should be possible to get all the files without display. Ain't i right?
Please let me know if I am wrong or having any trouble proceeding.

Yes,I do it all the time. It works fine.
It sounds like you got a new panel for it. Are you sure that its not a bad panel. Ive gotten a few bad ones off ebay. (they were brand new,but most are from china)
Also inspect the connectors,both board side and panel side,with a bright light and a magnifier. Look for anything like a fragment of glass or plastic or a spec of dirt. Make sure all the pins are where they should be and not bent.. Also inspect the board the same way. Look for any physical damage. Theres likely to be little you can do to fix it,but if you find something came off at least you wont be spinning your wheels wondering why it wont work.
My first instinct is that you may have simply gotten a bad screen.
IF everything looks good, do you have a pattern,pin or PW on it? Just because the screen does not work,does not mean the digitizer does not work. I have a crazy idea, in fact its something I'm making up off the top of my head right now,but it should work. You will need to figure out where the things you need are on the screen. Its easiest if you have Its easiest if you have a working nexus 5 in front of you,so if you can find a friend with one it will help.. If not someone here can probably help you.
If you have a pattern lock on it,its probably easiest. Take the other Nexus,bring up a pattern lock screen. Take your piece of paper and put it over the screen. Run your fingernail around the edges to make a crease. Make a dot over the camera with a felt tip pen. You will use these to align your paper. Now make a dot over each of the buttons for the pattern lock. Also make a dot over each of the soft buttons. (the menu,home and back buttons) THere are a couple ways you might do this. You could make several papers or you could use colored pens.
I suggest colored pens so you dont have to move your paper and can tape it in place. You will want to get your example phone into the same configuration. For instance you obviously need the lock screen type to be the same. Your goal is to turn on usb debugging. Then you can get your files.
So,go through each step with a different colored pen. First bring up the lock screen. If its a pattern,mark the buttons. If its a password,you will need to mark the keys. I would just put a dot in the middle and reference a picture of the keyboard to get the right ones. That should get you in and let the phone connect to your computer so you can copy files. If you had to,you could probably even enable usb developer mode like that y using the drop down menu from the top of the screen.

If the phone is not unlocked,it will wipe everything when he unlocks it.
yeah bro I think you can recover the files.( yes you can in the windows environment ).you need to have the adb.
just in case you know a friend who does own a nexus and if you can burrow that for 30min( just for a reference ) , you will be approximately knowing in which menu the phone does lie.
}power off the device( both in case )
}boot to bootloader ( power button + volume down keys)
}now 2 times volume up key and then power key ( boots you to the custom recovery )
}now connect the device to the PC ( sdk+adb enabled ) you can now use the MTP
}or use the abd commands to pull data into the PC
let me know if that worked...
@wickedrody Do you have custom recovery?

OK first of all, if you can fix this you are a GENIUS!
Basically, my power button stopped working today. The phone DID work fine and the screen turned on via plugging in the charger etc as it 'jumps' it. Also, when I take my battery out and put it back in, the phone automatically turns on, which leads me to believe the power button is somehow stuck or pressed in, even though it clicks like normal when I push it... Backing this theory up in the fact that when I start in bootloader (i.e. just holding the volume UP button when I put my battery in) I can't use the volume up or down buttons to scroll through the options, which I believe is due to the power button being 'stuck'.
So in trying to fix this, I downloaded the new Cyanogenmod 10 to see if it was a software issue. I previously had 9 installed. Long story short, it didn't fix it and I decided to go back to Cyanogenmod 9.. so I went into ROM Manager and loaded the previous version of 9 that I had the zip of on my SD card. NOW when I turn my phone on it just stalls on the Cyanogenmod intro!! And I can't turn my phone on or scroll through the options in Bootloader to install another version..
ANYONE know how to fix this?
If your power button is really stuck I'd suggest taking your phone apart to an extent and taking a look at it.

The power button isn't literally stuck, that's why I put 'stuck' in quotation marks. The button still presses as per normal and the phone hasn't been damaged at all. It just seems like the button is stuck, because when I put the battery in the phone automatically switches on, whereas normally I would have to hold the power button in to do that. I did try to take the phone apart but I couldn't get the front off LOL
I have the same exact problem. Thought it was a ROM issue. But no.
I even tried to Odin but when I hold the volume buttons and plug and in USB. It just turns the phones on. Every time I plug in a cord. It will always turn on. Making it impossible to get into download mode.
So then I installed " widget rebooter " which should get me into download mode right from my home screen. But all it does is reboot. Leading me to think I can't get into download mode anymore without a jig.
IM STUMPED!!

Use fastboot from a computer. Fastboot boot recovery name of recovery.IMG will boot it up ( the image needs to be in the same directory as fastboot).
Hey, I actually have the same issue with the power button. I just ordered this off of ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/230794282928
It's a completely new housing so every button works. In the meantime, you can try fixing the power button by opening the phone up, removing the 6 screws, locating the power button and blowing really really hard on it, or hit it with some compressed air. If it doesn't work....the link above is a $30 fix to permanently fix this issue and you also get a new phone feel afterwards.
If the power button itself is broke that housing won't fix it.
I recently dropped my phone and my power button wouldn't work or sometimes it would work but it would act like it is stuck, so I took my phone apart and used 99% alcohol with a q-tip and cleaned the power button on the motherboard and the plastic button on the case as well as other all the other connections and let it air dry for 30 mins and reassembled and it works now.

albundy2010: Can you please explain how to use fastboot? I have tried connecting my phone to Odin but it doesn't work because like BuLLeT_PrOOf_wAlleTz says, as soon as I put my battery in the phone turns on.. so I can't get into download mode even if I am pressing the two volume buttons.. And then when my phone turns on it just sticks on the Cyanogenmod 9 startup screen.
shadowx360: This looks great, but will it definintely fix the issue? I was told that I need a new 'ribbon' for the power button.. it's not the actual outer casing button itself that doesnt work.. it's the internal button that I think is connected to the motherboard..... so I'm guessing that just buying outer casing won't work?
Start the phone into the bootloader as you described in your original post. That is fastboot .
If you don't know how to issue the commands on the computer and set it up read a guide.
In a perfect world everyone with a unlocked nexus should know how to do it. But morons ( sorry its true, well not really sorry ) use one click , scripts etc.
Even of you used one of those open a command prompt in the folder ( directory) of the tool that has fastboot.exe in it and put the recovery. img ( should already be one in there) in there and issue the command.

Why was my comment stupid? Polobunny was the one mocking the person in need of help, assuming he hadn't tried searching google/forums first. There is no need for a reply like that.
you should be able to manually boot into recovery, bootloader and download modes. If your phone is powering on when the battery is inserted, it means there is a positive signal going through the power button to complete the circuit, in some way. With that said, let's assume you inserting the battery is the moment you would hypothetically be pressing the button if it worked. So in this individual case of the battery insertion acting as a power button depressing, it should be possible to get into any one of the modes desired by keeping any additional buttons depressed while inserting the battery.
In other words, to get into download mode press the vol up+down buttons at the exact same time the battery is inserted. it should work. My sister's evo4g had the exact same symptoms your phone does, and it worked for hers. I was easily able to boot into the bootloader, as well as recovery by following the steps I mentioned, and since it was a touch-based recovery, I was still able to flash/backup/restore, etc...I had full control over recovery, and everything worked just fine.
on second thought, download mode probably won't work with our device since you have to release the power button or it will fully boot....but fastboot and recovery should definitely work!!

2. Unzip and copy contents of folder to a clean sdcard
3. insert sdcard into the tablet and power on.
4. Wait until screen says 100% and tells you to remove media.

TeamViewer is free for personal use and lets you remote in and control the device, you can also try Android VNC Server, but if you cannot see the screen these would be had to setup or open.

My only other suggestion would be to setup adb on a pc and pull the files you need through that.
Just to follow up, I was able to find no way to control the phone. Replacing the screen/digitizer was quick and very easy, though. Took less than 10 minutes.
Did you enable the USB Debugging? if so, you can control use adb, otherwise, there is no way.
Hi community!
Today I took my (rooted)Z3 to the pool to do some pictures and videos. Before I put it in the water, I tested the pressure sensor in the air with *#*#SERVICE#"#" and the pressure increased and sinked after a short time while the flaps are closed. Then I tested it in the water and it worked too. I took the phone in the water for ~2 minutes and then out for ~1.5 minutes (to watch the photos) about 5 times. I noticed that the touchscreen didn't react good and took it out. The front and back camera got water steam inside. Then on the lockscreen the brightness increased and decreased a lot (flickering), I tried to shut it down, but it didn't react. It shut itself down after 5 minutes.
After some hours with cleaning out the water inside with sucking and blowing with a hair dryer :
By holding on the power button, the phone vibrates once, then 3 times and does nothing. It vibrates 3 times every minute.
If I put it in the charger/pc, it vibrates 3 times, the LED Red, then green lights up and goes out. This repeats always.
Holding volume up/down;power button, the pc sees it, but the phone cancels the connection instantly. This repeats too.... which means I can't access to the filesystem to do a factory reset/removing root...
Can you guys help or is there a chance, that sony's support can help? I fear that they won't take it back and leave me sit with a 500 swiss franc brick
========================= Solved =========================
My rooted, waterdamaged phone got replaced with a completely new one, which means i got the TA Partition intact. Sony probably couldn't access anything on the Z3 because the Screen was completely gone (Not showing anything and not reacting to touch), USB-Debugging off and it had a Lockscreen lock.
The same happened to my device, had the odd vibrating issue also, luckily I was insured on my device.
Ok guys, after heating the water out of my phone, it starts normally with sound, but without screen, so I cant unlock my Z3. How can I now get my files out of it?
Can you view your files when
Connecting to the pc? Or you can use adb pull method

just connect your bluetooth mouse with usb otg cable and use the mouse instaed of the touchscreen... if the display is totally gone then its not possible to backup data from internal storage.

Yeah, probably because they couldn't access anything on it.
My phone's screen was broken, so the touch sensor (capacitive) sensing constant phantom touches, which prevents to do anything with it, even with mouse connected on OTG.
I can't connect on ADB, as once i've allowed my PC to always connect to it, yet asks for a confirmation at every connect, which i can't grant, as if i unlock the phone with fingerprint, the phantom fingers instantly tap the dialog away.
I can connect with fastboot, but it's useless.
My next idea is to disconnect the screen ribbon cable (xiaomi "engineers" were so smart that the display and the digitizer are on same cable... which is weird, as redmi 7 had seperate cables and this redmi note 7 have one), and buy an MHL type-c -> HDMI-OTG adapter, and connect it to TV, and the mouse, then i can access my files... however i doubt that it will work
Any tips how to hack it or something? I'm thinking about that it maybe possible to electronically disable, or "burn out" the touch sensor without disconnecting the screen ribbon. Is that possible? Perhaps the cleaning of screen would kill the phantom?
Any help?
I would like to help you but never had to deal with such a problem.
But let's try:
1. What do you want to achieve? Do you want to backup your data?
2. The phantom touches are instantly and do not stop?
3. Don't know if that works, but... Is the mouse connected to OTG always on the same place? Like does it appear on a fix default position on your screen every time you plug it in or does it remember its last position (or is it random)?
If you know that you could maybe try to detach the display and use the mouse to enable your adb connection constantly. And if that works you could use scrcpy (screencopy. Find it on github) to show your devices display on your computer without having to use your real smartphone display.

Its a quite common problem, however the most people just buy a new phone, and dump the broken one.

Phantom touches are constant, always at the menu buttons.

I don't know. What exactly happens if you try that?
You connect your phone with your computer and run some adb command (e.g. "adb devices") and then it asks you to authenticate, right?
And then?
Another question which I think you'll answer with "no": Did you unlock your bootloader?
I just cant do it, and didnt fide any help for it on google.
If i connect it, and list the adb devices, i see "unauthorized" and a dialog pops up on the phone to allow adb connection, but as soon as i unlock the phone the dialog goes away as the phantom touching the menu buttons...
No, the bootloader is not unlocked, else if would be able to save with twrp. I can unlock it with fastboot, but it does a factory reset on unlock...

I have another idea. If you refer to the menu buttons you refer to the home, back buttons right? If your phone support it (and phantom touches allow it) you can go to setting -> System -> Gestures -> System navigation -> gesture navigation. Then click on the setting next to "gesture navigation" and turn of navigation hint.
Whatever those phantom touches are touch now – it won't be any of those menu buttons since they disappeared.
Now, hopefully adb authorization works.

As i wrote, i cant do anything on UI, as the phantom always touch back to the menu, or to the photo app, which i cant even pull out from quick access due to the phantom.
Having a ghost touch issue, it's probably not a problem with the software, but it's a hardware problem with your display and the way it's housed inside the chassis of your phone. If you're an engineer and happy taking electronic devices apart ( and have all the required specialty tools ), then you might fix the issue by simply disconnecting the screen from its data connectors for a while and then reseating the screen.
