Just wondering if anyone can suggest a way to get photos etc. off my phone - it is locked and I recently broke the screen so can' t see anything or use it but the phone itself is functioning.
Any help would be much appreciated!!

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
If you had USB debugging turned on, can connect with that same computer to pull your files.
You may be able to flash a custom recovery via ODIN if your digitizer is not broken (that is, your phone can still register touches), by entering download mode, and confirming by tapping a little left of center. Once you have the custom recovery, you can do ADB as well.
Other than that, you would need a working screen (and digitizer) again to grab the files. So warranty work may be in your future.
Here is someone recent with a similar problem (albeit with an S6 Active):

A teaser with method two I mentioned:
> Samsung Galaxy S6 > Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > Hard reset with a broken LCD screen?
If you have questions about any of this, feel free to ask in either of the two threads above (once you have an XDA account so you can post there).
Hope this helps, and good luck!

I dropped my phone (oneplus one) few days ago and was looking now for a way to:
1 pull nandroid backups
2 use it with programs such as android screencast
problem is, for some reason, adb gives "device unathorized" even though usb debugging is ticked and i had accepted the fingerprint previously..
now i think i should accept it again to be able to use adb, but i have no way of doing so since touch screen is not working; do you think there's a way to override this?

Hello everyone I'm new to XDA, and a total noobie when it comes to tablets and computers. I have a tablet which was purchased over 1 year ago from one of the shopping on the internet sites, it was supposed to be a Wondermedia WM8850. 7" tablet.
But it turns out to be a Eken Mid 7 W70 GSL.1680.Z7Z67 030A. It is showing just a blank screen you can see that the light is on in the back ground but it doesn't respond to anything. I have tried all the button pressing, run battery till empty, and then recharged, but it won't respond. I did get it to go into recovery mode once but it wouldn't go any further. I thought I would ask if anyone had had the same problem and was able to solve it. Thanks for any information, its much appreciated. pin62.:fingers-crossed:
Hi,
You likely need to try flashing the stock firmware again. But I can't find anything relevant on XDA for that. You can ask in the following section about it, or you can try contacting the manufacturer about firmware and flashing instructions.

So I had my phone rooted and downloaded a modded play store. All of a sudden, i couldn't turn my phone on. When I did, it just get showing the sasmsung galaxy s6 edge powered by android screen. It would disappear, come back, disappear, and then come back again. I don't believe that I had turned on USB debugging. Whenever I tried ODIN, it would show up as "Setup Connection..." and would just stop. anything I can do besides factory reset. (I dont even know if that will work)

My Samsung went into an update last week but was interupted during the process. Now it is stuck on the galaxy logo screen. I cannot get it to go into the recovery screen but it will go into download screen. I bought a new phone so no longer need it for phone purposes or ability to connect to satellites etc. But I do want to use it as an mp3 player when I run. I cannot get Kies to recognize it and when I hook up to Odin 1.85 it stops at Nand . How can I recover my phone enough to use it for an mp3?
Thanks

Hi guys,
I was trying to install phh's SuperUser on my tab s2 which didn't work out so well. I cannot get into TWRP nor boot menu but I can get into download menu. I have my tmpAC77.tmp 5.1.1 firmware file from smart switch but I don't know if I can use it in odin or not. Please help!
This tablet has an amooled screen and it won't get off the battery sign so I am worried it will burn in!
I am in the USA and cannot find "official firmware" out there in the proper format, so can anyone tell me if I can use this 1.4gb file? :crying:
Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0" (Wifi) Black SM-T710. [US]
Edit: googled a bit more, turns out that file is worthless, but I was able to pull the proper info from my packaging to get it to initialize. Samsung is great! WOO~ This time around I nabbed the proper files just in case.
