Hi everyone, I hope this is the right place to post this issue.
I need to recover data (mostly pictures) from a Samsung Galaxy A3 (SM-A310F).
Unfortunately, the screen is broken, black and not responsive.
The phone is recognized by the computer, but not as an MTP device so the device is empty.
I tried to connect to it via adb but USB debugging is not enabled on the phone, and no way to manually enable it so adb devices doesn't find any phone connected.
Next, I tried to go to recovery mode via hardware buttons so I could connect to it via adb, but since the screen is black I'm not sure the phone really goes into recovery mode (Volume Up + Power + Home), and even after a few seconds and a lot of different tests, adb devices is still empty.
I tried to force mounting it with mtp-tools, no result. The phone is detected (name/vendor id/product id), but not able to connect to it.
So far, the only hardware buttons combinations that seem to do something are :
Volume Down + Power -- phone vibrates (seems to reboot the phone)
Volume Up + Power -- on-screen buttons (options and return) lights up for a few seconds, but no idea what it does
Volume Up + Power + Home button -- doesn't seem to do anything.
Volume Down + Power + Home -- same as above
Any idea how I could access the phone internal memory without screen, and without usb debugging enabled ?
I'm pretty sure there's nothing I can do at this point, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

On the HTC Titan it was by pressing Vol down + Camera & Power. Should be the same since the 8x is the next main upgrade from it.
** Please let me know if it works (Y-Cable ubrand or flash)

Either way it should be some combination using the volume keys and the camera ... Good thing it there not many combinations
up + camera
down + camera
up & down +camera
up & down
I think just down sends it Zune mode which is useless unless with zune lol
No, none combinations doesn't work.
Mostly phone goes into bootloader mode with serial\usb connection, file check\search from y-cable doesn't start at all.
Seems everything is changed from older htc winphones.
Take a look at hardreset for 8x:
http://www.hard-reset.com/htc-8x-hard-reset.html
VOLUME DOWN + POWER button - brings exclamation mark on phone
VOLUME UP + POWER button - brings lightning mark on phone
In these modes sequence of buttons without any confirmation on screen leads to result(see hard reset).
I guess usb host mode can be reached through these actions.

lol those sneaky bastards who knows how many combinations are possible when you can now add multiple same button sequences... While having the y-cable plugged in with a proper goldcard then usb-host would be the only mode the usb gets accessed (blinking light etc).
Unless the icon is just a cover for an underlying menu. Volume Up activates the menu, Volume Down Picks Factory Reset, Power accepts it, Volume down is the reboot acceptance. (" Reset complete, press volume down to reboot" etc)
Probably, security in 8x\8s has mooved to htc javacard and without it in y-cable proccess even doesn't start.
Hi I need help urgently. I wanted to boot my phone into recovery mode so i after i switched the phone off, i pressed the power button + volume up. My phone was connected to pc all along. problem is, i removed both my fingers off the power and volume up the moment i saw the "OPPO" boot logo, and realizing that the screen is blank, i removed the power cable connecting my phone to the pc. Now, my r7f refuses to boot.
Weird thing is when i connect my phone to the pc, sometimes the pc recognizes an unknown device thats "malfunctioned". This is called 'bricked'? How do i solve this?
I cant even switch on my phone or remove the battery due to its built-in battery. had 70+% battery at the point of occurence.
My R7f goes into the fastboot mode when i hold the power and volume+ . I usually enter to the recovery mode by holding the power and volume -
You have to hold the buttons for more than 2-3 seconds even the boot logo is shown keep holding them.
Hello,
Is there any way to save my files on the phone or any way to fix/reset the phone.
Power button responds when pressing with volume down and home button,
I can't go through the warning in download mode, volume buttons become unresponsive i cant confirm or cancel in the warning before download mode.
Volume up seems to be unresponsive when pressing with power button so i can't get in recovery mode either
I can't use command prompt in adb since usb debug is disabled and cmd shows no devices found.
Is dr.fone legit? there's a pin unlocker menu with dr.fone but i have to pay about 40usd i think to get access.
Please Help. Is the only way to fix this is to have its hardware/buttons fixed?
Hello, would the erase option in google find my device factory reset my phone and disable the lock or it would only erase my data?
Hello folks,
* mistake in title: I mean volume down + power
I'm having some trouble with my Samsung Galaxy S6 not responding.
I can't remember which Android version it has; it's whatever it came with in 2015, so it's Marshmallow or earlier. The phone is not rooted, not modified. I think that USB debugging is enabled.
The phone is showing a slowly blinking blue notification light.
It does not respond to pressing any of the keys, does not respond to soft reset (volume down + power), does not respond to hard reset (volume up + power + home).
When plugged into a computer via USB cable the computer does not give the option to connect to the phone.
Running "adb devices" at the (Ubuntu) command line with phone connected returns blank list of devices.
What are my options? Is there some other reset option I haven't yet tried?
Did u figure it out? I am having the same problem, thinking of changing the motherboard.
Same problem here, I wake up and the phone was dead, without touching it
It has RR OS 6.2 Android 8.1, no notification light, just nothing... Dead
This is weird, it's happening to me too, the same days...
If you find something about or see other S6 users with the same problem comment here
It is stupid answer, but leave phone for discharging battery, charge for a 15%, maybe (for quick discharge, if phone gets stuck again), and try to turn on. If it's doesn't helps, you can go to recovery and do reset.
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.
