hello XDA!
i really need your'e help on this one this is really importent for me!
i have a nexus 5 and it fell down the toilet... :/
i managed to clean the motherboard so no water damage
bot the port that connects the screen and the usb port to the main board is damaged ( i had this problem before.. but a little pressure would fix it)
but now the screen do not work.. (not evet back light)
and i really need like really need to get some files out of there
and my USB ADB is turnd off
can you give me some advice on how can i get my files out of my phone?
i can connect it to my computer and i shows as NEXUS 5 but i can't access the internal memory...
please i really need your help! :crying::crying:
is there anyway i can get the files at home or i have to go to a special lab for this?
The screen is probably dead from getting wet. I recommend buying a used Nexus 5 with a working screen and swap motherboards.

My Nexus S was recently upgraded to 4.0.4 stock a month ago, and has been running perfectly without any problems. However tonight I've noticed that when I plug it in, it doesn't recognise that it's being charged (when the phone is on or off), whether this is on the lock screen, or how it used to display the lightning bolt over the battery. It just keeps telling me to connect my charger.
I have no idea why this has suddenly happened and am wondering if anyone else has had any similar issues, and how I could fix this?
Thanks
Clean the USB port?
Either the USB port has some dirt in it preventing the charger to make proper contact or you have faulty hardware. Doesn't seem anything related to the software since it doesn't recognize the charger when it's off.
stupid question.. have you tried a different charger?
Thanks for the quick replies. So last night I left it on charge and the battery fully charged however it still isn't telling me that it's actually charging unless I go to Settings>Battery to check there.
I tried using a different charger but no luck, and also using a USB cable to my laptop. Also it isn't showing me that I am able to transfer files via USB connection anymore.
I did clean the USB slot using compressed air and still no luck after that.
What I'll try now is a factory reset to see if that remotely helps anything.
Cheers
So I tried resetting the data etc. through the bootloader but still no luck Any ideas?
Thanks again,
Ok so it's gotten worse. When I power down, the phone hangs at the Power Off part, it vibrates to shut down then the phone freezes at that screen.
Ok I fixed it. It turns out that the micro usb tab inside of the phone tends to drop on the Nexus S, so I took a knife to gently lift up the tab and secure a better connection and every single problem has been solved.
Thanks to everyone for your quick responses, it's greatly appreciated.
Good to hear you got it sorted. I'll keep that trick in mind.
I've been trying to find the solution for this very problem for the past couple days.. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Worked perfectly.
Mine is doing the exact thing. Still charges though

Hi, I am having this exact problem, but before I do your trick, I just want to clarify:
by micro usb tab you mean the tiny tab inside the usb port of the Nexus S? Basically the tiny tab that goes inside the usb cable when you connect it?
Thanks!
Hello all, android noob here
I'm an iphone user for years and quite unfamiliar with rooting, android cfws and bootloaders so please bear with me.
Last year i went to serve the army and i was borrowed a nexus S from a friend that wasn't using it.
I think it had the latest version of jelly bean installed 4.x.x and was never modded/rooted/no cfw installed.
The power button wasn't working so i was removing/re-inserting the battery to open it every time.
One day It froze, one of the numerous times it did actually, so i removed the battery to reinsert it but when i did and felt the vibrating sound
i had it upside down and battery fell off while it was booting.
The phone became completely unresponsive (power button doesn't work).. when i plug it to ac screen will start flashing randomly but it won't turn on/boot. It will heat up after some time though. Same through usb data cable. I remember it was once recognized by my windows 7 (?) laptop but as an unknown device and i couldn't do anything on it.
I really really REALLY need those photos in there Is there anything i can do now?
From reading these forums and correct me if i'm wrong i'm thinking doing some of the following:
a) jig / j-tag? but will i be able to save my photos this way or everythings gonna get wiped?
b) take it to a forensics company so that maybe somehow they can exctract data from the NAND inside?
c) remove (!) the nand buy a cheap used working nexus s remove that one's too and switch? lol?
Please help!
Hello.. You will definitely lose your photos if the bootloader is locked... Coz unlocking the bootloader erases your phone completely... I am really sad for your photos...

Thank you for the reply! Will a jig work for me? Is it worth it to purchase one? Or you have to have your bl unlocked?
Also if everything else fails i will desolder the surface mount nand SD chip buy a used i9023 nexus and solder it on that one. Since that whole process is a bit expensive though I want to be sure there is no other way to revive the phone AND keep the photos.
Also has anyone on here has the knowledge to tell me what odds approx do i have of succeding doing so? I dont want the phone just my pics.

and what if the nand is corrupt ? Who knows... If u have an smd station and u can afford another motherboard then go for it. Or u can desolder the nand and send it to a company to recover the photos ? :/
ps. i don't understand why u wer removing and reinserting the battery if the power button doesn't work ?

how else was i going to turn it on/off (if frozen) without a working power button?
will a motherboard for SPH-D720 (cdma version of nexus s) work?:/ i found one for cheap.. i mean are there any differences other than the cdma-gsm chip?

Hello guys,
i hope you can help me with my problem. (also my english is pretty broken :/)
Little Background:
I crushed my screen but the lcd did still work. Another time my phone fell a 2nd time to the ground
resulting the cable for the touch sensor beeing ruptured. To repair my phone i ordered a new lcd,
but when i tried to connect the new lcd to the motherboard i dont know how but i broke the other plug responsible
for the things i see on the display.
In the end i can't navigate the phone anymore without seeing anything what i would do, so i don't care for the phone anymore but does anyone know how i can safe my storage?
I guess i can still boot the phone normally aswell as access recovery.
My phone is rooted, s-off and with the carbon rom 4.3.
Would be glad about any help, since i cant get htc support cause i lost the sticker with my imei number aswell threw the package away.
Sincerely,
Masern

It's quite obvious what you should do, if you broke something you'll have to replace it or fix it yourself. If the cable is using connectors on both sides, you can try to find the cable only, but if it's soldered on one side or both, you'd have to replace the entire part, I think it's the cable and usb port in this case
Hi,
I have Nexus 5 and was running good with Marshmellow and suddenly one day the screen started scrolling up. Restart or factory reset did not help. While starting the boot logo was also corrupted and I use to get is display with random pixels lit with different colors, mostly white and red. So have tried different bootloaders and even downgrading to 4.4.4 but the issue is still there.
Called up Google and LG as well. Since device is not under warranty now, it is going to cost for repair. So would like to know if there is any solution to this problem before I try the repair or give on this device.
Appreciate any suggestions. Thank you,
Sandeep.
Was the phone ever dropped? It's possible that there is a loose connection inside the phone. I suggest removing the back and inspecting the phone's internal components and connections.
If everything appears fine, it could be A problem with the lcd of motherboard, neither of which is cheap to repair. I suggest trying to find a used nexus 5, either with a smashed screen and working internal components or one with a working screen and damaged internals to troubleshoot your own phone.

I do not recollect dropping it. I would wait to see if any better option comes up. And will keep an eye for an broken Nexus to see if I can get the motherboard swapped. Thanks for ideas though.
