Hi everyone,
I have a friend with an LG KM900f touchscreen mobile phone. She needs to copy / access her old SMS's on the phone urgently (this phone is no longer used, there is no SIM and no data card, the messages are in the phone memory).
The phone is in "Music Device" mode when connecting to a PC via USB with or without the battery in place.
The touchscreen is broken and/or not responding so I can't change it into PC-Suite mode on the phone.
I have dismantled and cleaned and reassembled the entire phone - the touchscreen still doesn't work.
I need either a computer utility that I can force access via USB or Bluetooth to get to the SMS's on the phone - she just needs a copy.
Alternatively I have a WinMo 6.5 htc, so if anyone knows of a Bluetooth bluebug app that will let me force my way into her phone to get a copy of the messages without having to key or acknowledge it at her phone's end, that could be a way forward...
All the Mobile "forensic" software programs out there that I could find require the mobile to be in PC-Suite mode for access - bit hard with a broken touchscreen. Even their tech support throw their hands up and say "tough luck".
Any pointers in the right direction? Is the anything I can do to get the SMS's for her?
Thanks guys!
Hi,
I recently installed the OTA Android 6 update.
All seems fine, except today I wanted to copy some of my photos off the
phone and put them onto my PC. But when I connect the phone to the pc
all it shows is the icon of the Nexus 5 but does not show any folders nor files!
Does anyone know if there is a hidden setting somewhere that I have to
enable or is there something else I need to do?
BTW, I have my phone unlocked (not rooted) when I connected the phone so it is unlocked
while connected to the PC via the USB cable.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ok after a lot of googling I have managed to find out how to do it, see below.
Swipe down the top notifications window on your Nexus, the device must be plugged into the computer, there should be a persistent notification banner showing for USB Mode. Mine stated "USB for charging", touch for more options.
So I touched it an it then gave me the following options:
Use USB for
(o) Charging only
( ) Transfer files (MTP)
( ) Transfer photos (PTP)
( ) MIDI
So I selected "Transfer files (MTP) and it then showed up in Windows
I hope this helps out others who are having a similar problem.
It just seems strange there is not an option to change this in the main Settings menu
under "Storage & USB" !?! I wonder why the developers did not put it there?
Hi there, My nexus 5 is having screen issues and the screen basically doesn't function due to what I can only assume is a bad connection on the mainboard ( if I press in the right area with the back cover off the screen will flicker and work a tiny bit if I reboot the phone.) My issue is I still have tons of pictures that are very dear to me on the device and need to get them off of it. When I connect it to my pc (windows 7) it connects and shows up as a nexus 5 device but nothing will appear in the folder. Im fairly certain I have the correct drivers installed as well. So how can I get it to connect properly with having basically no access to the screen? Ill even paypal you $5 if your answer works for me, thanks
Did you enable USB debugging? Did you enable MTP when connected to a computer? Is the computer a trusted device?

must have at some point because i connected it to a computer in the past, no idea and i dont know how to, and i dont know.
If the the phone is running a stock ROM and has a lock screen PIN, pattern, or password, you probably need to unlock the phone and select MTP as the USB option in order to have the Nexus 5 files appear in Windows Explorer.
If you have access to another N5, you could swap motherboards, copy the data, and swap motherboards again.
Hi... I have an Oneplus 7 which is broken. Screen is all black but i know the device is switching on. I even get calls when sim is inserted. Im badly in need of the data stored in the phone. I have tried the below options but doesn't seem to work. Need some expert advise.
Options i have tried:
1. I have a Galaxy S8 n tried a usb cable transfer using samsung switch but it fails as the oneplus is in Charge only mode when cable is connected.
2. Tried installing ADB n Vizor app. But adb devices is not showing my device n so does Vizor. However, device gets displayed in Device Manager as an MTP Portable device.
Would be really helpful if someone can suggest a solution to change the usb mode in my oneplus which only shows a black screen that can solve my prob. Or any other solution to help me access my data in some form.
Thanks
You can try doing this and enable file transfer from the drop down menu and cross your fingers.
Hi,
Basically I have a Samsung S7 Edge (SM-G935F) which the screen is completely smashed on (no display no touch). When I connect it to the PC it detects the phone but it doesn't show the folders inside (can only assume its got a prompt to accept PC or USB debugging isn't enabled).
After a lot of testing with OTG cables keyboards/mouse etc the furthest I got was putting the phone into Recovery Mode (PWR, VOL UP & HOME) then selected APPLY UPDATE ADB.
When I run the ADB in Powershell and run "adb devices" it finds the device ID and says "sideload".
Is there any command I can run to pull the files off my internal DCIM folder (thats all I really need)?
I did read up the only way this could be possible is to install a custom rom (TWP with ODIN?) and then pull files off.
Is this possible and would installing a custom rom delete my internal files as that would render this pointless.
Sorry im new to a lot of this so all my knowledge is just what ive read recently.
Thanks
1. To pull user data USB-debugging must got enabled. May be this method works for you to enable it:
2. To flash TWRP it's required device's bootloader got unlocked - what requires OEM unlock must got enabled . Note: Unlocking bootloader erases all user data.

Ok so my only option is the "blind" method.
I have the app installed via Google Play Store on my PC to the device however when I hold down the home button to ask google I hear no reply from her, is there any hotkey to use for this device to ask google or any alternative methods to open this app?
I can see the S7 Edge is connected to my WIFI as it shows on the Sky Hub and IPScanner.
Also is there a way to tell what android interface version I have so I can follow someone on Youtube going into Settings or Apps etc to open the app.
I feel like I am so close to getting these photos off the phone but its just a blind guess at the moment.
I managed to get a hold of a friends S7 Edge, using this I mapped out some keyboard functions to turn on developers options then usb debuggings.
What I have noticed is now when I connect the phone via USB to the PC and run ADB DEVICES it shows up the ID then unauthorised as the status, so I can only assume this means I have USB DEBUGGING ENABLED.
Is this correct?
If so why when I open the Samsung Galaxy in Windows does it still not show the folders, is there another setting I need to turn on/off?

I want the internal storage contents of DCIM on the phone.
I followed the steps on my "donor" phone to go into Developer Options > USB Configuration > MTP but all that happens is the phone detects on Windows but wont show me the contents of it.
I also tried changing to PTP but same issue.
I know there is a pop-up that shows on the phone asking to ALLOW THE PC TO ACCESS FILES but I cannot have the USB DATA CABLE and OTG/KEYBOARD plugged in at the same time (and I also tried two OTG adapters both came up MOISTURE DETECTED when using).
So unless anyone knows of a OTG SPLITTER that 100% works with S7 EDGE then I need to find a way to either bypass the ALLOW MESSAGE or manually add my PC to its allow list.

fully charge your phone and hopefully the heat generated from charging process remove the moisture detected warning or you can also use hair blower to heat your charging port area
also don't put your device on microwave oven unless you want to see some fireworks
