Im looking for a bit of help
I had an LG K4 M160 until today when I broke my screen and can now not see the screen and touches do not recognize.
I do have a simple zigzag pin code which obviously poses more problems along the way but I need to somehow get the pictures and work documents iv saved of the phone. but wait............................. also i have (foolishly) not enabled usb debugging mode prior (bit of a rookie mistake as iv made this mistake with a Samsung which actually was easy to get round) Anyhow.......so now i can not get my pics unless usb debugging is enabled. I have tried a new screen on it but nothing disp;lays. Yes the phone dose boot as can hear the start up tone and also I can get calls lol. Please guys I need to recover my files some how anyone able to help??? PLEASE

Hi,
I am new to this forum and I need serious help please. I dropped my AT&T Lg Optimus G the other day and now the bottom part of my phone is not responding to my touch. I have a lockscreen on and I cant put in the full pin and press okay I don't have my debugging option on, its not rooted (still stock), and I have tried the USB OTG with no luck but I am waiting to try the Y-cable OTG. There has to be a way I can enter my pin and unlock my phone so I can activate the debugging and use android screencast or something. I JUST NEED TO GET INTO MY PHONE SO I CAN BACKUP MY STUFF.. Is there a way to active debug from the computer or anything? There has to be some kind of way other then hard reset which will delete my texts, notes, etc... WHAT OTHER OPTIONS DO I HAVE?
I have order the Optimus Pro and I need to get this done before it arrives so I can send my G off.
Someone please find a solution for me and I will be thankful beyond measures
hello, my friend has dropped her phone and now the screen is black and i dont know if the touch still works, she wants me to get her photos off the phone but it needs to be unlocked so the pc can see the files,
what options have i got to retrieve the files? ive tried one of the programs but you need to turn on debugging which obviously i cant do with out seeing the screen, which was frustrating after there great advertising!
thanks for any help
my friend has remembered her gmail details that the phone is connected too, does this help? i can install apps to the phone using my pc but dont know how this helps me?
If i can get usb debugging turned on somehow then getting the files off would be easy, is there an app or something that can do this remotely?
Im guessing not as nothings coming up with a search :?
Alright, so I just recently broke my phone so that my screen is completely black and won't respond to any touch. I have quite a few photos that I am trying to recover and transfer to my laptop, but can't do most obvious ways because of said screen damage. I had a friend suggest ADB but have no clue how to use it. Anyone have any ideas?
There are solutions, but they are not free
You can use a data recovery tool to install on your PC and access your phone through it. However, most of these tools cost.
Do NOT use Dr Fone or similar tools, they just wreck the OS
If you had lockscreen security enabled on the phone you would need some way to unlock it before copying via USB worked
If they're that important, get the screen fixed
Smart Switch might be able to make a backup but it's not very good
Hi all,
Firstly I've looked on all black screen help pages but none of them help. Last week my galaxy j3 2017 model died. The screen is just black, but the phone 'works', and by that I mean if I ring it the phone rings, notification sounds still happen but screen is still just black. I've charged it, let it die, tried all combos of reboots but nothing. Using an online guide, if I plug a USB keyboard in and tap my code followed by enter I hear the phone unlock (yes it has a pin screen lock). I then tried to plug into a laptop, but using Windows explorer, my phone is there but going into the phone, the folder is empty. I'm guessing this is because I can't enable file transfer etc on the phone. I'm at a loss wgag I can do. Samsung said I can take it to a shop to be fixed, but I have a few weeks of data and files I want to try and rescue first. Can anyone offer any advice please?

your screen is dead on your phone and your not going to be able to get the data from your phone. All you can do is send it in to samsung.
Ok, thank you. At least with this confirmed I can just get it fixed and hope a file recovery tool may help. Thanks again.

If you haven't taken this for repair yet then you can confirm a dead screen if you see nothing at all when restarting the device.
However it IS possible to rescue the data. There are various ways to do this with a blank screen. Obviously the easiest is via MTP. There is also Smartswitch.
Adb is also an option.
This would be trial and error until you hit the right spot to enable usb transfer.
Hello, I'm Andrea & Im pretty new & a bit nervous to attempt some of these steps. But I very much need some help please.
I have the Moto G Stylus XT2043-4 {2020, I think} through Metro PCS, we've got 3 of these identical phones. However 1 of them is NOT BOOTING UP Correctly. {Using chat with Motorola rescue assistant, they stated: Phone has A/B Slot boot failure, & it is in AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure) & only way to fix is to Completely Reset & Start From Scratch.
You see this is My Daddy's phone, who Passed Away on March 6th... & I Desperately Don't Want To Completely WIPE ANYTHING as in User Info/Data if at all possible. So I'm turning here in hopes of assistance to SAVE My Daddy's Stuff that's on his phone.
I have read and attempted the advice/info in some of the threads here & I frankly get a little confused and a bit more nervous when it comes to things here {commands/input correctly} BUT I HAVE TO TRY. Also I am UNABLE To Do Anything as far as Switching USB Connection Type, Debugging, or Enable ADB, from the phone screen or when connected to pc. I feel like I literally need baby steps & entirely walked through this process PLEASE???
I'll post a couple pics of what screen says currently as it attempts to power up, hopeful this will help anyone willing to help me here.
Thank you for reading this longa** post & any attempts to assist me are very greatly appreciated, as I just can't bear to Ruin the last of my Daddy's pics & things from his phine, it is literally the only thing my son & I have left of my Daddy...
Feel free to message me if needed if any possiblity to help.
Love & Light,
Andrea

Unfortunately, I don't think there is any way to get data off of the phone.
The only thing that might be possible, is if he backed up the photos with google photos, and he signed in with another device like a PC.
You could use the PC to access the photos.

Thank you for your info & thought; sd_shadow...
However, my Daddy was 80 years Young & barely able to use this device & had never laid a finger on any other type of system, computer, etc... I tried to show him how to use a tablet once as his TV remote went out & hid TV had an app to utilize in replacement until the company dould bring him another TV remote once the weekend had ended but he wasn't too comfortable with that so I had to scurry and figure out how to reprogram his scrambled TV remote quickly or else he'd planned to stay on the same annoying TV channel all weekend... Infomercials & all...
thank you anyways, I'm holding into hope there's gotta be someone out here in techi~land here who can give some help... Sure,y someone somewhere.... Thank you very much though... Have a positive evening...
I think if you remember his pin or pattern you would be able to flash and use TWRP to access and backup his data on an external SD card and then reflash the rom on the phone and then restore his data back.
