Hello guys, I was hoping you could help me with a problem
I've managed to screw up my Note 3's display and I want to take out the data from it.
Now when I connect it to the computer I can't switch the phone to MTP because I can't see anything(and I think touch isn't working either)
I wanted to mount usb storage on CWM but I couldn't manage it blindly, for some reason CWM keeps rebooting.
So is there any way I could access my files, maybe there's a recovery that enables MTP automatically or some other solution?
Thanks!

There are quite a few data recovery programs to recover data using your PC, provided touch feature still works and you can unlock the screen.

Then you can connect a usb mouse to the device and use it instead of using the touchscreen.
It gets complicated but you can screen cast or VLC to share your screen to PC then use the mouse,to navigate and make selections. You can try finding screenshots of devices just like yours with the same stock firmware or custom ROM as yours has, then use those as a guide to help you figure out where things should be on your screen so can try to navigate to what you need to get the device to share it's screen to PC.
It takes a lot of trial and error to navigate properly until you finally connect the two screens.
Or you can try flashing TWRP on your device then use adb to pull your data.
This CAN be done if you've got the patience.

Yeah I thought of that I might give it a try, also I saw TWRP is touch only
What if someone makes a flashable zip that forces MTP on?

Hello everyone,
I have done something utterly stupid with my Nexus 5, I wiped the internal storage and lost my roms, I really wasnt thinking.
I have tried looking at options like adb sideload but cant find a decent tutorial
Could I just get a micro usb to usb adapter and install a rom off that?
Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction with adb sideload?
Other problems are I can't get on the android SDK because the CMD box only flashes up.
Does the adb sideload option in TWRP actually do anything if you wait for it? Its been waiting for about 1 hour now and nothings happening.
Please guys any help is appreciated

Why don't you flash the factory image using fastboot?
The Cmd box you are referring to happens because you need to navigate to that directory using Cmd and run it from there. You cannot just click it.
Thanks but I cant get the SDK to work at all. Im still looking into it but at the moment it wont work
Please somebody help me with the SDK, I dont know what else to do.
I cant open the SDK manager and I cant open it through eclipse either.
Someone else must have had this problem before
Click the link in my signature and then "adb and fastboot. What is it?"
This will help you configure adb properly. It also helps you learn commands. Like adb push.
adb sideload is the same as push but you type sideload instead.
FYI as much as people round here say it, there is no such thing as a soft brick. Its brick or not brick.

Show down and don't panic. Your device is easily fixed. Hold the power button for 20 seconds. This will shut down the phone. Then press and hold the vol down then press the power button. That'll bring your into the bootloader.

Power + volume down button brings you in the bootloader, from there go into recovery (navigate with volume buttons and select with power button)
In recovery follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200.
Or flash the factory image in the bootloader. (that should work because you need to unlock your bootloader in fastboot)
Thanks guys,
It wasnt working because water damage had interfered with the volume buttons previously.
I have a micro usb to usb adapter now.
Can i put a rom on a USB drive and install that way?
Thanks guys

Yeah that will work too. Water damage is never good for a phone even if it stil works after that. But that's another story

Yes you can. You'll have to "tell" twrp where to find the rom zip.

TWRP cant find any of the files on my USB-OTG
with the CMD, it gives me my device and its serial number and says recovery for
C:\adb devices
but for C:\fastboot devices
I get nothing.
Any ideas please?

Here's a hint, read rootSU's sticky rollup and look for the 15 second fastboot adb installer.

Hi,
I've searched and searched, and posted on other forums looking for help. If anyone can help me, I would truly appreciate it.
My mother's phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005) recently updated itself to Android 5.0. This somehow broke the phone, and now it is in a reboot loop. Once the phone starts up, it will reboot itself within a second. I can still run it in "Odin" mode, and in recovery mode. Safe mode doesn't work.
Most people would want advice on how to fix their phone, but I've come to accept that it will need a factory reset/flash. However, I would really like to backup the photos on the internal memory. Is there a way?
I have tried:
1) Deleting the cache;
2) Using Odin tools to load different firmware versions on the phone (4.4.2, other 5.0 versions for different carriers);
3) Safe mode.
Nothing has worked so far. All I want to do is have the phone start up and remain on whilst I plug it into a PC and copy the photos. I'm willing to try anything, so if you have any tips, please share them. If there's anymore technical information I can provide to help, let me know.
Thank you.
If you have installed the TWRP you can try to make a backup and then still via TWRP copy it to the PC by using OTG and TWRP file manager, and then open it

Thanks. I've heard a lot about TWRP but haven't used it yet. The phone isn't rooted but I can hopefully root it and try your method. Can you please elaborate on OTG a bit? Haven't heard of it, but I'll look it up.

Ok, so you can install the TWRP w/o root using odin. The OTG is a specification that allows any device capable of acting as a host (such as a smartphone ) , to communicate with USB devices, and so with OTG you can copy files from your phone to a usb or viceversa. :good:
Hello guys, my phone dropped today and half of the screen is not working anymore. Also the touch does not seem to work. The problem is I just want to copy my photos to my computer but i cant because of the phone is locked and it needs a pattern password to unlock. Is there anyway without replacing the screen to copy my photos or unlock the phone. Thank you.
Hi,
You can plug an OTG cable and plug in a mouse to work around the touch screen issue. Other possibility is trying to boot in recovery mode to manage the files via USB, though I'm not sure if it would allow you to access internal data using adb or not.
All the best,

Hey i do have the USB OTG and i plugged in a mouse to try to enable the adb debugging but the problem is that i can't see the screen so i am working blindly and trying to 'guess' where i should click.
The thing is i can unlock my phone with the fingerprint, but when i connect it to the computer the files do not show, i believe there is a button i have to click to enable MTP ?
I really can't believe its that hard to copy some files from my phone just because the screen is black
Hi,
Yes there is a button to enable MTP and it is in fact hard to enable it without looking at the screen. Have you tried booting in Recovery to access your files?

Connect a mouse or keyboard to the device using either Bluetooth or otg USB A to C to access the device and fix the keyboard then.

You might be able to but if you have a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard id find it easier just to use one of those. ADB can be a pain and it feels simpler just to go to the playstore and download the keyboard.

I think you misunderstood me, the XZ Premium does not boot up anymore. It stucks when booting up and asks for the PIN. But I can not enter without the Swift Key keyboard.

Oh my bad I see what you mean now. Yeah you can try adb but the phone most likely wont be recognised in adb. If it were me at that point id just newflash it or pc companion it. If you use newflasher I think theres away to flash without wiping data so it will just flash the system files including swift keyboard. The whole point of that screen is to prevent computer commands and data from being stolen so I don't think adb would detect the device. Take a look at some of the guides on newflasher since doing that would keep your data and reinstall the system including the keyboard. Alternatively if you have a backup in TWRP assuming your rooted you can use that to restore just the system. Also if you are rooted and have TWRP then adb should work through TWRP.

Hello all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy A3 with not responding touch screen, hardware buttons work. I would like to copy data from it. As the touch screen does not work I cannot unlock the phone to select data transfer mode. I tried OTG cable with mouse, does not work. Data recovery softwares does not work becasuse I cannot activate USB debugging.
Any ideas how can I recover my data?
Ps: Sorry if it is a doubled thread. I seached for it but did not find anything relevant.

If you can't enable USB debugging and you can't unlock the screen, you might be out of luck.
Your best chance would be to flash TWRP recovery, then use TWRP to create a nandroid backup of everything on the device and then extracting the data that you want to recover from the backup.
