Today I decided to root my US Cellular Galaxy S6. I followed the instructions from a link I will comment (new users cannot post links, XDA Forum policy). It all seemed to be going smoothly and my device began to boot. However, as I password encrypted my device not long ago, I had to enter my password to access my device. The problem is now, when booting, it gets to the point where I have to enter my password, but its like the touchscreen does not work. All the actual buttons work, but I cannot use the touchscreen to type in my password. Please Help!

Maybe a physical keyboard will help you enter the password. Can't think of anything else at this moment

Thank you for that idea. Where could I get a physical keyboard? Would I be able to use it for the first time on a phone that is essentially useless otherwise?

You can use an OTG cable. Connect it to your phone and a USB keyboard. You can find both the cable, and the keyboard at any electronics store. But I'm not sure if you're phone will recognize the keyboard as it is not fully booted. Just hope for the best. Good luck

So I upgraded my Honor 6 according to this hihonor.in/community/blog/upgrade-your-honor-6-to-android-l
Everything seems ok really, except for one critical little detail: I have no keyboard. When I click on a text field to type, I only get that google voice thingy, and in input settings I get no choice to add new keyboards, nor can I modify the current one. And my spoken English just isn't good enough for this, I need my keyboard. :crying:
Help please?
I have of course tried every reasonable variation of a reset and so on, they all fail. Currently looking into downgrading it, and then re-upgrading it or something along those lines..
PS: This has to be the most annoying website I've ever been to when it comes to new users. After spending 10+ minutes trying to register, I give up and log in with my google account, which works on the third attempt. And then I try posting this, but noo, can't post links... Not to mention that there's a captcha around every corner.

Yay, pushed it out via adb and it works like a charm. Thanks
Any clue WHY this wasn't installed in the first place though?
Nop , i had the same problem too and i solved it that way
Keyboard working for me fine after upgrading, but when I encrypt the phone and reboot it, I cannot get keyboard to show when I am supposed to unlock the encryption. I had swiftkey keyboard installed before, and it didn't work. I had to do factory reset, and then with the default (google keyboard) no luck either. I am using the international variant H60-L04 and I updated phone through the stock updater app with honorindia stock lollipop.
I can't even install the keyboard. It gives me the error -505. Please, tell me what's going on there

Try Swiftkey keyboard
"Type password to decrypt storage" and no keyboard
I am also having similar problems with no keyboard after upgrade to 5.1.1 and then encrypting the phone.
"Type password to decrypt storage" and no software keyboard when I click the textbox. The only other thing to press it the "emergency call".
I managed to hack together an USB OTG-cable and connect a hardware keyboard and use this to input the password, but its a bit annoying having to get a hardware keyboard everytime you need to restart the phone.
I have the google keyboard, skype swift and the 1pass keyboard and I have tried to disable other keyboards and set the Huwai as default, but that did not help.
My phone is a H60-L04 with android 5.1.1. Unrooted and very much vanilla.
Do anyone have any suggestions for what more to try?
Hi sgiratch, did you had any luck. I had the same problem today. I am not able to decrypt my phone. Please guide me how to get out of this problem. Not able to switch on my phone.
No luck. Im carrying an OTG-cable with me at all times and have a keyboard at hand. Thats the only temporary fix I've found. I try to avoid rebooting the phone
Hi sgiratch, Thanks for reply. Our charging cable will work as OTG cable i guess, but what keyboard you are using..I dont understand wht key board to use.
You can't use your charging cable. You need a micro-B to plug into your phone and the other end of the cable has to be a female type-A. And then you can connect any USBkeyboard into your phone and type away.
Like this paruu.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/otg-cable.jpg
Thanks sgiratch. I will try this out.

Error 505
Hi!, I have a RAZR D3 (XT919). It ships with Android 4.1.2, but I upgraded it to 4.4.2. A few days ago, I dropped it, and the screen shattered, the screen itself it's not broken, I mean, it displays what it needs to, but half of the screen lost the "touch" capabilities, meaning that I can't input my unlock pattern. I've tried everything in order to be able to unlock it (do not ask why I need it to be unlocked, I just NEED it unlocked), I tried through ADB, but, USB debugging is not enabeld (it actually IS enabled, but I can't confirm the debugging access to my pc because it does not show up the window that asks for confirmation, and, even if it did, I would not be able to tap it not because of the broken screen, because I think the touch part that is still working is in range, but because it would not let me tap it in the unlock screen), I tried through flashing a zip file (actually, lot's of them) that in theory disabled the pattern... yet, no luck (I'm aware that I may needed to input a random pattern, it didn't worked), I tried a file manager made for recovery mode, didn't worked either. So, in short terms, I tried tons of things to unlock the damn phone (factory reset is not an option) and nothing works. I just don't know what to do, I will be buying a new one, of course, but I need it unlocked right now. Oh, I also tried with a USB-OTG cable with either the pc keyboard and mouse, the device simply does not support it. So... yeah, I'm pretty much screwed. Don't be afraid to post any complicated solution, just keep in mind, to make it as clear as possible, thanks for caring and I hope somebody would be able to help me!

My mom uses a huawei y3 II LUA-L21. The touch stopped working. The cell phone starts normally.
I buy a new cell phone. however she does not remember the password of facebook, google etc.
could take the cell phone to a technician to repair the touch, which would lose the sense of having bought a new one.
Any solution?
Note.
They know a custom rom for Samsung Galaxy A01 Core. I didn't find one here.
Setup a new phone should do the trick for you, as for your touch problem you can just buy an OTG cable and use the mouse on it.

buy an otg cable. connect a mouse to the cell phone and it does not detect it.
Unfortunately that's all that can be actually helpful to you.
You only have two choices now:
Try data recovery softwares like dr.fone.
Take it to a service center.

what I want to recover is the google mail.
my mom doesn't remember the password.
she didn't link her number to the google account,
so I can't get it back with that method.
I want to recover the password.
because I have not been able to recover the google account,
with the methods that google offers you.

I was late for your answer.
I sent to repair the cell phone touch and solve my problem.
Thanks for answering.
Hi. I just want to confirm the following first:
- The phone is mine.
- My fingerprint is stored on the phone
The screen got cracked so I had it lying around for 6 months before I got screen replaced. Now no pin code I have goes past the lock screen to open up the phone. I have set it to fingerprint unlock too.
My question is:
Can I access the data without opening up the phone? Going into some sort of developer mode on the phone?
Is it easier to bypass the lock screen and go to the fingerprint option?
I just need some pictures I have on the phone. The phone itself is not important for me to use anymore.
In advance thank you for all the help and if this is not in the right section please let me know where I should go with this.
If phone supports OTG then it should be possible to access user-data stored on phone connecting PC and phone via an USB-C OTG cable.
Thanks for your message. How will I know that the phone supports OTG?
EDIT: Seems like my phone does not support OTG. Mostly Samsung and LG.

Thank you for finding this out. What would be the software needed to use to get the data extracted?
Once connection is established you should see the Android's /data partion on Windows computer using Explorer.

Without needing to open up the Motorola phone?
Phone of course must got successfully powered on: Then it's detected as any USB-Host device, too.
I have ordered the OTG cable. It will arrive tomorrow. I will give you an update on how it worked here.
Thank you.
I just talked to Motorola support and their view was that it would not work. I will still try this but not sure if this has to do with the fact that the phone is in lock screen mode?
So a bit of a conundrum, my sisters Samsung ZFlip3 has had some screen damage, and the bottom half of the screen has stopped working this morning so we are unable to unlock the phone.
Due to this we are unable to use Samsung smart switch but need to be able to unlock the phone to allow the smart switch to start.
Tried to use the ADB tool however, even though Windows detects the phone, the ADB tool cannot "see" the device, which I'm guessing is because the screen cannot be unlocked after a restart.
The Samsung Remote unlocking is not activated so cant backup using the Samsung "Find my phone" web app.
Can access Recovery mode fine, so not sure if anything can be done using that?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Did you try Google's Find my Phone too?
You could only wipe it from Recovery but it will still ask for the last used PIN or Google Account password, so not a solution either.
Another solutiom would be connecting an external mouse and writing the PIN by memory or casting the phone screen on another screen.

Thanks for that suggestion, not sure why I didn't think of that myself. The usb keyboard trick worked like a charm! Currently backing up the device!
Thanks again!
