[Completed] [Q] Access a device after the screen damaged

Okay, so the age old problem where you drop your device and the screen wont work anymore has happened to me.
The device still turns on and functions, but all I can see is a black screen.
I have USB debugging etc turned on and titanium backup will run at and backup everything one of these days based on the schedule, but what I was wondering is there any way for me to emulate the screen onto my laptop?
I had heard there is, how ever my device has a pattern lock, that I can't input given the touchscreen doesnt work.
I was hoping someone here may have some ideas?
I can install apps through the google play store - the wireless is on and connected and can reset the device etc, how ever anything beyond that I'm unsure of. As I said, if anyone knows of something so I can make sure I retrieve all my data off my phone, that would be amazing.
The phone is a samsung galaxy s3 running temasek's UNOFFICIAL CM11 BUILD v 161.1.
Thanks in advance XDA

[Completed] Remotely erase phone (Note 3)

Hi!
Being at the moment in Cambodia, I just got my phone stolen, then 20 minutes later,... my moto!! UNBELIEVABLE!
I pass on the details but I rushed to lock and erase all the data using Google Android Manager on a computer. My phone could not be located; I assume they had already turned off the device, however I still sent a screen lock password and also requested the deletion of all my data.
1) I understand that the external SD card will also be deleted. Please confirm here that I understood properly.
2) If they already turned off the telephone, what can happen next ? Will my (former) phone receive the command to auto-delete the data as soon as it is turned on, even with a new sim card (or Wifi?? )?
I had private videos and other sensitive stuff that I feel horrible to share with such assho***, so please, tell me what are the different scenarios possible...
I assume they are not very smart technicians anyway...
Thank you very much for your quick answer.

[Completed] Help with chinese phone factory reset.

Hello there.
I bought a fake Lenovo S820T phone from aliexpress and i was really positively impressed by this phone. The only drawback was that this phone ROM had malware in it that was installing strange apps, displayed strange full screen ads from time to time and was doing strange things like opening browser and browsing for random stuff and also was connecting to internet by it self on data connection.
Few days ago Android blocked and i had to restart the phone after which i can only see several messages "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped." after the Android starts and the whole screen is black... nothing except when i hold the power button i can see the "Power off" and "Reboot" menu... I tried to do a factory reset but this doesnt fix anything, after the factory reset and after the phone reboots its the same black screen and the error messages... I found the ROM so that I can reinstall it using the MTK droid tools but I cant connect to the phone since i had the phone set on "charge only" from the usb options... btw its 4.4.2 android version.
Can anyone tell me how can I connect the phone so that i can use the mtk droid tools to reinstall the rom on it or if i can do anything else to restore the phone?
Thanks in advance and best wishes.

[Completed] Android Tablet in persistent reboot

My brother inlaw won some cheap (he won it in a vending machine ) Android tablet (7") where you turn it on, you get a splash screen (Tablet PC, Keep Moving Forward) with some animation on that text, then the tablet reboots. Every now and then I have gotten to what seems to be the main screen (like maybe 2 or 3 times) but as soon as you touch the screen it reboots.
I know jack about Android but told him I would take a look. I assume a hardware problem or maybe something corrupt in the software. I have been able to boot into what I will call the root menu. I have tired clearing the user cache as well as a factory reset. No help.
I am thinking it is a hardware issue but it would seem worth reinstalling the software (4.4.4). I have not had much luck figuring out if I can do this (everything I seem to find is on updating the OS not reinstalling or flashing), where to get the files/rom or how to do this. Any direction would be appreciated

[Completed] I need help with a hacked possibly hidden root phone attack & i really don't know muc

I need help with a hacked possibly hidden root phone attack & i really don't know muc
I felt my phone was 'hacked', it was echoing during calls, getting really hot, passwords & secret questions on my emails were being changed, FB password changed & picture login disabled etc. etc. I BELIEVE my device Samsung J1mini is rooted HOWEVER somehow hidden cas most apps say it's not rooted but I found a hidden /root file & Superuser was only to be granted access with 'android.permissions', ok explaining it best I can. I also have PC Acer Laptop. USB ports disabled won't charge my phone. ESET picked up a virus but it disappeared b4 I could press Y to delete. Renamed I believe. The top of windows go green when I click in them the same person said Crypto something which he explained as ransomware but I've had no demands & drive has been wiped so many times there is nothing to hold to ransom. I seriously need help. Just bought a Huawei Y9 Elite LYO-02 but it's only 4 weeks old, got a new sim with new number & EXACTLY same things are happening again. So I factory reset it (whilst off) cas a password I didn't put there prevented me from phone factory resetting it. Now I'm stuck on the gmail screen & NONE of my emails work. I've watched you tube videos on how to bypass this screen but no success yet. I asked someone I didn't know very well to help & he installed Terminux/Linux on my phone & told me it was just underneath my phone he accessed, what I now realize is he was most likely setting it up so he could remote control it from his PC or IPhone 6 & he had to install Linux. I hate liars.... now wondering instead of helping he saw an opening & made the hole bigger & this guy does IT. HELP! Please be kind. I wanna boot whoever is in out & take control by rooting phone myself. And taking admin privileges back on my Acer. I am administrator but u wouldn't think so. It's running Windows 8.1.
Urgent replies please. This whole thing is doing my head in. But I'm smart & willing to learn. Someone patoent please Show Me the Light lol

Hi there and welcome to assist,
Unfortunately there is nothing about your question/device on XDA forum. Try a Google search first or contact the manufacturer for stock firmware and flashing instructions.
You'll have to create an account to post in the main forums if you have any other questions.
Good luck
