The screen on my pixel has died after the battery drained to 0. I charged the phone for 2 hours but the screen wouldn't turn on. I spoke on the phone with google support and they sent me a return label to exchange the phone. There are some important photos on the phone that were not backed up to google photos before the phone died. I tried doing ADB pull but it says device unauthorised. The screen is completely black and touch appears to not work either. The fingerprint scanner doesn't seem to unlock the phone because it vibrates everytime i press it, maybe because it's asking for my password after I rebooted. Is there any way I can recover the photos?
You could try using a mouse connected with a USB OTG adapter. It will be difficult without being able to see the screen, but if you can manage to authorize your computer for ADB, then you should be able to use adb pull to retrieve the pictures.

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.

Eventually, the screen was defective and I returned it and bought new one.
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.
Hi all,
My wife owns a Mi 10 Lite 5G. This morning she was taken some photos to our children and suddenly the phone, apparently, shut down.
She left some time connected to the charger and tried to boot it again, but the only thing she got was a black screen that from time to time blinks and show the 5G logo for less than a second.
If I connect the mobile to the computer it cannot be connected to adb neither PCSuite. If I restart it to recovery or bootloader, it works as expected. The bootloader is locked, so I cannot access to a recovery with a shell, AFAIK.
If I launch the default Xiaomi recovery, the phone is only showed as "sideload" when I run "adb devices".
I'm not very worried about the phone because it is on warranty, but my wife is very upset about some photos that she was taken when the phone shut down, so most of them were not backup by Google Photos nor Xiaomi Cloud
Do you think that the photos can be recovered somehow without unlocking the bootloader?
Do you know if "sideloading" a ROM would erase the data storage (and then wipe the photos)?
Help and suggestions will be very appreciated.
Thank you in advance
After some more research, the mobile is able to boot up, but the screen blinks too fast that it is impossible to unlock the screen using the fingerprint or the unlock pattern.
I'm able to see, while blinking, the notification drawer, and if I connect the mobile to the PC, I'm able to see the new notification about being connected, but if I want to enter settings from the notification bar or open the USB connection mode menu tapping in the notification, I'm redirected to the pattern unlock screen and it is totally impossible to draw the pattern while blinking.
It feels like while the screen is off, the touchscreen and fingerprint reader don't work, so it is impossible to unlock the device right now.
Sadly I didn't activate the debug, so I'm not able to enter in the mobile using "adb" :-(
Any idea?

I have a Google Pixel 1 that I gave to my daughter for her first phone. It was working perfectly yesterday and then the battery seemed to die, so she plugged it in to charge. Today, it looked like it wasn't turning on. There's nothing on the screen, no sounds, no vibration. I thought the battery was still dead and it wasn't charging, but when I plug it into my computer, Android File Transfer pops up like it normally does when I plug a phone in. So I think it's on but just not displaying anything on the screen. I can't even use AFT because it gives me the usual error message that means I have to unlock the phone, but I can't see the screen to put in the password to unlock it.
Is there anything I can do to recover the phone? And what is the diagnosis. Did the screen just die?
Thanks!
Long story short I have a crypto wallet with a balance & all the log in credentials are stored my flip. The screen started acting up a few months ago and before it reached the point of me being completely unable to use it, I enabled screen mirroring and all. Adb debugging is also enabled. The problem is the screen is completely blind. I can power it up swipe and unlock the screen from memory to where the digits are however I can't see it. I have a crypto wallet on the device I'd like to access as the 2 step authenticator & email is stored on the device. Is there any hope I can access this without having the screen repaird first? Thank you

you can try this little program called scrcpy , it can let you display and control your phone from your pc using usb debugging link of the program https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy
