So...
I smashed the screen on my Nexus by throwing it. Its a long story
Now when I take out the battery, turn it on, it seems to boot. it vibrates when the power button is pressed, and i hear the boot sound once its finished booting. i need to recover many important files. screen shows nothing and is not touch responsive. volume keys work, and the screen on and off sound also works which is leading me to believe that the internals are ok.
when i connected it via USB, i cant seem to access the SD card. under device manager it shows it connected drive H:/, but nothing comes up in My Computer. USB debugging mode was not enabled.
what can i do to recover this data?
Is it rooted? clockworkmod installed?
pics or it didn't happen.
One day I went to use my tablet after a long time not using it. It was on the stock OS. And it stops at the Asus screen with the spinning circle I know sometimes this might take awhile so I let it sit for 24 hours and it still is there. I tried cold boot and reset to default and also the recovery image. With the recovery image I get a dead droid with a red ! above him. When I plug it into my computer I hear my computer detect it but I can't access it.
Guessing the OS is corrupted. Bring it back to stock again using easyflasher. You will lose all data by doing this.
You need to be in apx mode to use easyflasher. Press power and volume up for a few seconds and connect to PC. Your tablet should be recognized however the screen will stay black. Then you can use easyflasher. Good luck! Also, try to never allow the battery to go completely flat. If you will not be using it for a while power off.

it is not letting me go into apx mode. When I try turning it off it restarts and goes to the boot screen and freezes there. Is the recovery image on the SD card? I can get to the recovery so I might just put the stock zip on it and try it.
I just tried updating it and I keep getting the same dead droid and it keeps rebooting when I try to power it off so I cant enter apx
Try holding POWER and VOL UP and it should enter APX even if it isn't off first.
No matter what I try and how many times I try when I push the power button it just restarts. if I hold the Power and Volume up it restarts and sticks at the Asus screen. In the Device Manager for a description for the tablet it says "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
I had that error and it was a bad USB cable. My cable still worked with the stock charger, just not for USB (MTP/APX/ADB)
I do have 2 cables and last time I used then both did work so I know that is not a part of my problem.
You won't see anything in APX mode and may think the device is powered off. So connect it to your computer first, then try to go in APX. You should hear the computer detect the device.

I know how to get into apx mode. I have used it several times before but it will not let me. No matter what I try it keeps rebooting.

Does it still reboot when you try entering APX mode if the USB cable is disconnected from the tablet ?

yes it reboots if it is hooked to the computer or all by itself. If I try to enter apx by itself or hooked to the computer it still reboots.
If I can't get into apx does that mean that I have a brick?

Possibly, or your power / volume buttons aren't working properly / getting stuck pressed in
Might be worth taking it apart and disconnecting the battery for a while / checking buttons are working without the plastic bezel over the top of them
Check no cables have come loose causing weird behaviour

I opened it up cleaned the buttons unplugged the battery and looked for loose cables. Plugged the battery back in and rechecked for loose cables. I tried going into APX and that is a no go. I have not reassembled the unit back together yet.
So what should I do next?
I got it fixed!
I unplugged the battery plugged it back in, did a cold boot then enter apx mode

Great!
Must have been some weird bug in memory that was being kept alive by the battery
Hello there!
I tried to replace the battery of my phone with another one, but the phone doesn't boot up at all.
Shortly after I switched the battery, I managed to boot the phone: the HUAWEI writing showed up and then the phone shut down.
The red led was blinking while charging and other tentatives of boot-up failed with only a vibration shot and nothing more, with the screen still black.
Just out of curiosity, I tried to go to fastboot mode (by holding DOWN volume and plugging the USB cable on pc) and surprisingly enough the "plug in" Windows sound played but the phone remained pitch black.
The curious thing is that if I type
Code:
fastboot devices
It shows a number and the writing "fastboot" so I guess that the phone is recognized by the pc.
Is it bricked or something?
Or maybe the battery was faulty and ruined the motherboard?
Or maybe it is just the screen broken...
I don't really know how to proceed.
I have had my OPO for about 4 years and am currently running Lineage 18.1 with no issues. However the Power button on the phone stopped working and will not do anything. I inadvertently put it in Fastboot and cannot get out of Fastboot and reboot to normal. I have tried adb to see if I could do a reboot there but it is not detecting any devices. Before this incident the phone was unlocked, in developer mode with usb debugging set. Is there some other sequence to try. I have tried vol down and plug in usb, and vol up and plug in usb, and held vol up and down and plug in usb but none have worked. Any suggestions please.
Update: I just got Fastboot on the PC to reboot the phone. Yea. The Power button is shot. It has been in a case for years and I hardly ever use the Power button anymore. Don't know why it has failed, no abuse, maybe lack of use. Thanks anyway.
If I take the button out, does anyone know if the inner switch could be pressed with something to turn it on and off. I assume there would be somethin like that although I have not been inside one of these before. If I ever lose power on the phone I will not be able to turn it back on without the power button/switch.
This started happening to me after changing a broken display. I get the asus logo, then the android one, then Qualcomm crashdump for less than a second then it repeats a few loops then shuts down.
I can put the device into fastboot mode by holding volume up + power but plugging a cable into it makes the screen flash and shut down and it does not get recognised by the PC. It also makes the phone heat up if left connected for a long time.
I tried making an EDL cable and putting the phone into EDL mode, but even that doesn't seem to work and the phone still isn't recognised.
When the phone is connected with a usb cable, no button combination will make it wake up.
Please help!
