Hi, looked and could't see any info on this and unsure as to what forum to put it in.
I broke my s5, the phone turns on and I can hear it load up but screen is black and unresponsive. I am trying to access the phone contents on my laptop but normally when I do this when it was working I would have to unlock the phone first (pattern lock).
As the screen is unresponsive I can't do this? Is there any way I can access phone contents? I have a lot of stuff on the memory card and on cloud services but also have a lot of this on the phone memory that I would like to recover.
Thanks in advance!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The S5 has a locked bootloader so I don't think it's going to be possible. But, I've attached a link to the S5 help forum where you can get expert help. You'll have to register on XDA first.

Was trying to root my phone following thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632 guide, got through the bootloader okay, then when I went to restart my phone to start 2. Installing a Custom Recovery, now it won't turn on. Did I **** it up? It won't turn on at all, nothing happens when I press the power button, pc won't recognize it, no response from wall outlet. Worst of all, I bought it from someone on craigslist, got a t-mobile chip, was just messing around with it, now this. Do I have any options at all? I'm assuming there will be no warrenty from Oneplus one, any way to send it in for repairs at a cost?
Welcome to the forums! I remember being one of the people guiding you here on the OnePlus forums.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I don't know what that is either. Hopefully you were able to back out of it and your phone is working now. For further help see your device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2. They are the experts on your device.

I have a non-rooted verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535). The display slowly started dying and is totally gone now. No illumination at all. I need to retrieve my data. However, my phone is locked with a PIN. Now what? Without being able to unlock the device I can't just plug it in to my PC and copy over the files. Surely I'm not the only one this has happened to. I don't plan on repairing it unless utterly necessary.

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
Sorry to hear about your trouble but fortunately there is an XDA area dedicated to the Samsung Galaxy S III I535 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-verizon 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-s3-verizon/help where the experts familiar with your device will be best able to guide you.
Good luck!
Okay so I hope I'm posting in a suitable area (I was debating to post here or in the Questions and Answers section). I don't usually use forums much but I try to be as respectful as I can as not to upset anyone or waste anybody's time. I'll put the important info in bold in case you don't want to read all the details. Getting to the point, I've looked several times on google and youtube but I never get a clear answer to this and I've watched dozens of youtube videos about the basics of rooting and what you should and are supposed to and not supposed to do however I still can't get an answer. I have a Samsung Galaxy Go Prime at least that's what all of my manuals say but after searching about rooting I've come to find that it's either closer related or the same as a more popular Samsung Galaxy Go phone. I've rooted it using the King Root app twice now because every time I turn the phone off it does the "seandroid enforcing" boot loop thing and both times I've restored the stock ROM, as I've heard it called, using Odin and used King Root to root it again. Now maybe I'm just an idiot but I don't think it should be doing that, or am I wrong, or am I doing something wrong?. I used to use an Iphone and I know that jailbreaking could be tethered and untethered, however I'm not sure if it is the same with android and rooting (or for that matter exactly what rooting does) as I have just recently switched. If anyone could find a youtube video explaining all of this too me that would be really helpful as all the ones I have come across while trying to find a solution are either really outdated or sharing knowledge about a particular type of phone. I will admit that I don't know very much about rooting because all sources I've tried to learn from either didn't explain anything or did not explain it well enough. The original intent for rooting my phone was to make use of my SD card, considering that the internal storage is only 8gb and the phone outright refuses to use my 32gb microSD for anything. I manually moved all of my files to my SD using the stock "My files" app on the phone and it didn't clear up much space. After rooting it I tried to use an app called "Link2SD" which unfortunately only moves part of an app to my SD and not the entire app, so if anyone knows a better solution to this problem as well that would be a great help. Thanks for any and all information and assistance, I really appreciate you and your time. :good:

I have a Galaxy Note 4 with a bad screen.
The phone will boot but the screen is totally blank.
I would like to sell the motherboard but I need to remove all personal data from the phone first.
Is there a way where I can connect the phone to a mouse and computer monitor where I can interact with the phone.
If yes, would appreciate some links to whatever hardware I need to buy and/or any tips.
Thanks.
