Hello, I appologize if this is not the right place to post this in.
Now, My xperia Z3 has had a very hard time... with 3 bodge wires running thorugh it, and eventually a faulty screen (Sometimes it would turn off, sometimes half off, sometimes colors get inverted) which lead to it getting cracked by my thumb(!) and then to me accidentally shorting out the backlight....
When the screen cracked and was partially broken, i connected an otg mouse and removed the lock screen. I also made sure USB debugging was on. so i should be good and dandy right?
The computer recognizes it but nothing shows up. i know that it automatically sets itself to charge only...
I try to use visor, which works perfectly on my new phone, but it tells me that the phone doesnt have USB debugging on, I know for a fact that the phone is displaying a prompt telling me if I want to allow the computer, the RSI fingerprint and all.....
Phone is stock, no recovery. i have no experience with ADB commands but open for experimentation. all I want is the whatsapp media folder. Thank you!
I appologize for the bad original title. I hope someone can help me now?

Hi all... and sorry for my bad English ;-)
I've got an HTC G1. When I try to start it, nothing happens. Only the backlight turns on ... What can I do?
do you have a rooted g1 with recovery and engineering SPL?
No, it isn't rooted...
Is it brand new? I think you should be able to exchange it, if you got it from a store that is; unless you got it from online then you will have to contact the website and see where that goes.
No, it isn't brand new. Someone gave it to me... So i can't exchange it.
Try to boot it thru camera+power holding. Wont help you if success but at least will tell you where the problem.
if he can go to recover mode screen wont remain completely black as far as i know. Because splashscreen appear before recover (or other) mode starts. I might be wrong of course.
If I try to go into the recovery mode thru camera + power button, nothing happens. Only the backlight turns on (black screen with backlight & keyboard backlight...)
Follow first 6 steps in this form...

tihs should boot your G1.... then if you want go on ahead with other rooting steps to root your g1..
I tried the first 6 steps, but it won't work. I think I can't entry bootloader mode. On step #4 (...)You should see a gray/white screen with instructions(...)
nothing happens on my Phone. :S
Isn't it possible, to flash the bootloader/firmware over USB or something like that?
*push* no solution?
are you sure the phone does not boot? Does it rumble when you first turn it on?
I have a similar problemb, but my phone will completely boot and work, but the lcd does not work it stays black. i can move apps around (they rumble when you pick one up), and i can recieve calls.
I was able to get it to occasionally boot with the lcd working by rebooting the phone with call+menu+power. It worked long enough to reflash the rom to rc29, and boot into it. Then it died shortly after.
mine is going to htc.
Yes, it does rumble when I turn it on, but I think it doesn't boot. So I can't "move apps around" or "recieve calls"
And I can't use the warranty, because I'm swiss.
another way to tell if it actually boots is plug it into a pc after giviing it enough time to boot, and listen for the usb connection notification sound your phone should make.
just trying to help you narrow it down. When i am contacted by HTC i will be sure to try and get as much info from then as possible. hopefully ill get something that might help you.
Since you wont have to worry about voiding your warranty, I also suggest snagging the factory service manual and make sure all the flex cables/connectors pertaining to the lcd are properly connected. This, of course, is under the idea that you have the same problem as me.
good luck
When I plug the phone over usb into a PC, the pc find it as "HTC Android Phone USB Device".
Hmm I don't think, that the LCD is broken, because the backlight turns on... If the lcd is broken, the backlight won't turn on, right?
the backlight on mine would also stay on. then again my lcd worked intermittenly at first and proceded to work less and less, but the backlight would remain on. However, I think your problem differs from what I encountered.
The fact that your pc recognizes the phone means the usb controller is working, but thats about it... I am just trying to find out for sure if you phone boots or not. That will help narrow down the problem for sure.
Have you tried calling it from another number?
It also never hurts to take a peek at the factory service manual... if you havent already
thank you. hmm... I think I can't recieve phonecalls.. but I'm not sure. (I tried it, but yeah i don't know. xD it doesn't rumble or something like that...) Is it possible to have "remote" on the phone? So I can use it over the PC?
They have shipped my phone back. Apparently the screen dying was a side effect of the keyboard going bad...The keypad did not give me any problems though. I was told they replaced the keypad FPC (part no: 73H20137-41M, pg#102 in the service manual). They replaced nothing else.
Unforutnately they did not have any more info to give me. In your case, i would suggest opening it up and checking all the flex cable connections to ensure they are properly and fully attached. of course this check is not really for the faint of heart technically speaking, but it shouldnt be too bad with the service manual as a disassembly/assembly guide.
are there any tutorials how to open the g1? =)

Hey guys,
just replaced my screen by myself and it isn't working. It boots and the screen lights up for a few seconds but thats it. So it seems like I ****ed up somewhere. :/
Now I've got some questions for you guys.
1. What could cause this error? Since it's already not working I don't mind taking it apart some more and trying to fix it.
2. Do you think if I send it to the support from OnePlus they will take a look at it?
3. The whole reason I did this was to get my data back. Is there any way to access the data on the phone without the touchscreen? I encrypted it using CynogenMod. USB-Debugging is enabled.
Thank you so much guys, I'd really appreciate some help. This **** is really tearing me down since it was a lot of work.
I did this on my own phone but Idk about OPO. If you use the power+voldown method to boot into recovery (yes ik nothing on screen) then connect a usb and see what happens
If you power it on, wait 5 mins then call it and if the phone rings you should be able to rule out the display and speakers and storage, obvs if the display is still not on at this point it is probably the display.
you can also adb from recovery and or fastboot so you should be able to see it in there if it is still working (make sure you change the phone for a decent amount of hours before you do any of these) If the display is dead its likely its been on for the last day and dead
Sorry for the late answer, really appreciate your help!
So if I connect the phone to the PC (tried it in recovery and in normal mode) windows detects the phone under "Devices" but sadly if I type in "adb devices" in cmd it doesn't detect the device.
But still, windows is detecting the phone so it seems to still function. I booted into recovery and I could use the touscreen and the lower buttons. I couldn't see anything but it was vibrating whenever I was using the touscreen. So it seems like only the display part is broken.
Can't call the phone since it's fully encrypted so I need to type in a password before booting anything (recovery, normal mode, ...)
I'll try to contact the vendor of the display and see what he has to say.
If anyone got any more tips I'd appreciate them. I'm a pretty big noob so I even appreciate "common sense" tips.
I know this may be a "common sense" thing to say, but double check your connections. Sometimes the connectors aren't made properly and a pin could be covered so you can try connecting and disconnecting several times to see if it clears up.
Since the touch screen was registering and vibrating, then it could be the backlight that's broken. Try holding a flashlight at an angle and see if you can make out anything on screen. If it's the backlight, then you can probably back up your data in case your phone does end up breaking.
reconnected everything multiple times and also tried the flashlight trick. sadly with both no luck
but something good:
adb recognizes my phone in "recovery"
bad news: no commands work, most likely because the phone is encrypted. if I enter a command nothing happens, it looks like its loading forever.
any ideas?
Hey!
I also had the same problem after I replaced OPO's screen about one year ago. The replacement screen was from ebay.
I could see the Cyanogen logo but after a few seconds the screen became black. Booting into recovery mode worked well.
On the video also ROM boots well but the screen stays black.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcWDCJIkPKQ
Eventually, the screen was defective and I returned it and bought new one.
My Rooted Xperia Z3s screen is completely smashed, but the display works. I want to back it up to my computer using Media Go and get a new phone. Initially, when I use this mirroring app it doe sent ask me to do anything, all I do is plug it in and it starts working so I can unlock my phone using it. Since the backup stopped working I had to start it again (I canceled it) and the phone got unplugged. I plugged it back in, and know a popup comes up saying ''The computers RSA key fingerprint is: XXXXXXXX'' then a check box saying '' Always allow from this computer. I know what this is and pressed ok with the check box ticked on this same computer already, and know it is asking me again. It wont let me use the screen mirrored until I check it, and the screen is unresponsive. Is there type of button that I can use to press ok? Thanks
P.s

Hey there, I've got a question regarding my broken Sony Z5 and hope you can help me...
A few days ago I accidentally dropped my Z5 on the floor, so back and front glasses both cracked. The Display itself seems to be OK (since it didn't show any failures and the phone was still on and working). Just the Touch functions of the display were not working, meaning I wasn't able to use it anymore.
Since I'd like to get off the data from the phone I remembered I had such a problem with an iPhone 4 some time ago. So to put in my PIN and read it out with my PC I plugged an Lightning to USB adapter in it, and a USB keyboard from a computer. This worked out just fine, I put in my PIN and I was able to rescue my data.
Now I had the same idea with my broken Z5, and connected an USB OTG adapter with a computer keyboard. ...but it didn't work. Wether with a keyboard nor with a USB Mouse (since Android has Mouse support mostly).
After a short search on the web I had to realize the Z5 has USB OTG only after authorizing new devices in the menu.
or, ...as an alternative solution, to start the phone with the desired USB device already connected.
...so I did what seems to be my biggest mistake now: I pushed the reset button in the SIM card tray and hoped I would be able to operate it by mouse after a restart.
...but sadly, I had to realize the Hardware Buttons do not work anymore...
So, ...actually there is no way for me to switch the phone back on and boot.
Of course it will react if I plug the loading cable in it, and it will boot to the loading screen with that green battery.
Does anyone know any way to switch the phone on, without having to touch the buttons?
Perhaps is it possible by a special command/program using a computer?
Or is there an equivalent button on a hardware USB keyboard which acts as the power button or volume rocker?
(so I would be able to boot to the recovery screen instead of the battery-screen. I've read that it's possible to restart the phone from there...?)
I appreciate any help, thanks in advance,
best regards

Thank you for your answer.
...but how do I get into fastboot mode without the hardware buttons?

Had a similar problem,
My touchscreen went dead. Turn off the phone, plug the usb otg + mouse receiver, turn it on and it should work.

First of all, are you rooted? Do you have USB Debugging on? If so, you can go for fastboot reboot without the need of powr key. Just plug it in while holding volume up key, type in your terminal or whatever you are using "adb devices", should show your device attached, then type "fastboot reboot" and it should reboot into system. Of course you'll need abd drivers for this.
You said the screen is working but the touch screen is not working?
Edit: Nvm, I tried on my device, you don't even need to have USB Debugging enabled.
With your device powered off, hold volume up key while you plug it in to your computer. A blue led should appear now. Go into your terminal, type adb devices, then fastboot reboot.
Edit 2: wait my bad, i read it wrong, neither your power botton or your volume buttons are working. Wops. that's a problem.
I actually have one solution for you, but only hoping you have USB Debugging and Root on your phone.
Alright, with adb on your computer: type "adb shell" hit enter, then type "su" and hit enter, then "reboot download", hit enter. Now the device should reboot to Flashmode, blue led should appear and screen should be black. Now you can run the command "fastboot reboot" to get into your system.
Hope it helped.. it's kinda tricky. I don't know other ways with no root

Thanks, but this is not the solution. As stated, my hardware buttons do not work, so actually I can't "turn it on".

As it turned out (my comment above) the power button seems to be broken, but not the volume button (or at least not completely, since I had to try it 5 or 6 times).

Dear all,
I recently got water damage on my OP7Pro. Now my screen doesn't work and the phone doesn't respond to touch. So I am left with a black screen that sometimes flickers so I can see the bare minimum.
The phone however does boot into the system and recovery and it vibrates when I slide the notification button up and down. When I plug it in my PC, it only shows the drivers and stuff.
Now I know I cant fix this phone, but I want to recover some important photo's.
Here is the real problem:
Since I have never adjusted the developer settings;
OTG allowance is disabled
USB debugging is disabled
So when using adb, it doesn't recognize my device.
When I boot into recovery I have to fill in a password.
Yet I DO know the password, I just don't know how to enter it.
I'm on the internet for 2 days now without succes.
Does anyone know how I can recover the data?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

If you never unlocked the bootloader or enabled add, you are stuck.
