Hi guys,
Just trying to figure out if it's possible.
How can I access Galaxy S6 files (to move from phone to pc)?
With the following problems, the charging port is broken and the password to unlock the phone (after restart) is gone.
Is there a way still to get to those files, before the phone is dumped?
is it encrypted? do you have a sd card?
is it rooted?
twrp?
you say you don't have the password or it does not have a password and you can boot it?

It is not rooted. + charging port is broken (only wireless charging works)
this phone don't have SD card.
phone is up and running I just can't go through where it asks for the PIN to unlock screen.

If you can't unlock the screen and the USB port is broken, you are pretty much screwed. If you could get the screen unlocked, there are several ways you can retrieve your data, but if you can't unlock the screen, there really isn't anything you can do.

You cannot access your data due to the fact that the display does not work.
Without unlocking the data you wont be able to get them back.

Hey everyone,
my girlfriend called me 2 mins ago, saying she got problems with her OPO. She said her phone wasnt responding so she hold the power button long for hard poweroff. Then when the phone restarted she came to that point where you have to enter your SIM Pin but wasnt able to enter numbers on the left side of the display, numbers in the middle or the right would work. She said she then recognized that the display was "slightly broken" on the left (so i think no spyder app by now ). I dont know how much everything is messed up until i see the phone this evening.
Well, that was the story, now my questions. If im not able to enter the correct pin, is there still any way to backup her data of the phone? Maybe through recovery? On my OPO i got TWRP but hers still stock. Any other ideas?
Would be really thankfull for any hint!!!!
edit: In fact i dont know if PIN blocks data access just assumed it

It doesn't in recovery since the function happens before the OS is loaded.
Install TWRP, or do a back up through stock recovery ( no idea if that function exists though in stock ), then factory reset in recovery, it will erase everything but give you access to the phone again....The backup will copy your protection settings , so that won't really help you if you re-apply it....
Maybe someone as a better idea, just going with what i know. Read once that you could connect a mouse to the phone, maybe that could help, you will have to dig around here to find info on that though, i have no idea where it is.
thx for your answer but if im not wrong its not possible to install twrp without wiping all the data because at the moment the bootloader is locked.

OK so like i said try to find info on the mouse thing, or full factory reset through stock recovery, it will give you access back to the phone by whipping everything.... I don't see any other choices.
well as i wanted to save everything wiping wasnt an option
(for what would i need access to the phone other then gaining the data?!)
but the tip with the mouse was perfect and simple as fcuk just connected the mouse with an OTG adapter to the phone and was able to unlock screenlock and remove it, then copy all data to PC.
Now the OPO is ready to get repaired
thx!

Hi, I've broken the touchscreen of my Idol3, and the phone is switched off (it's not just that the display is locked).
Powering it up requires my pin ("to start android, enter your PIN"), which I can't type.
Most solutions I've seen on the Internet require using adb, but they all assume
adb devices
lists my phone. My adb doesn't (at least, not at that point).
I assume it's because the boot sequence hasn't got far enough to make my phone visible to adb.
The adb setup seems to be fine because, when I enter the (stock) recovery mode (which I can access via power + volume up), picking the option "apply update from adb" suddenly makes my phone visible to adb (and otherwise, it's unvisible just as in normal booting).
Unfortunately, it is listed in sideload mode, which makes any adb command other than sideload miserably fail.
Question 1: is it expected that in the normal boot sequence, adb does not see my Idol3 when the phone prompts for my PIN to start Android?
Question 2: can I use the sideload function to install a more permissive recovery mode like twrp (I've found the twrp img file for the Idol3 on this website; can I turn it into a flashable zip and install it via sideload?)
Question 3: if that succeeds, is there a chance the phone responds to adb commands when the boot sequence asks for my PIN, and will I be able to simulate the typing of my PIN (which I know) via adb commands?
Ah, one precision: maybe the phone asks for a PIN to start the OS specifically because the phone (I assume the main partition) is encrypted, and the PIN allows it to be decrypted and mounted. Would that make things more complicated to recover my data?
Thanks in advance...
Hello,
i dont have experience with encrypted devices, so as far as i can tell when the device is encrypted and locked with pin untill you give the pin you cannot access any data from it.
1-No, because you have to enable usb debugging from developer menu, which you cannot access now (is in settings ). So without this you cant access your phone using adb commands
2-No, because to sideload a TWRP recovery you have to unlock the bootloader and to do that you have to enable usb debugging
So i think you have to order a new touchscreen and change it on your own. Sorry

Ah, that's what I was afraid of.
But actually, as I finally accepted defeat and went to a shop to spend some money, I bought a USB On-the-go cable and an old-style USB-cabled mouse.
To my surprise, it did work even before the partition was decrypted and Android booted, allowing me to type in my PIN. The USB On-the-go driver must be loaded really early like the touch screen's.
Thanks for your answers! My problem taught me a lot about phones, recoveries, etc thanks to XDA!

good that all is backed up now. But you didn't say, that only touchscreen is broken. I thought that also the screen is brokem and you dont see anything.

Did the encryption make your phone slow?
I have the same model and i want to encrypt it. But i don't know if this affect significantly the performance of the cellphone.
What is your experience using this phone encrypted?

Hi,
I haven't done any real tests, but from the feel of it, encryption didn't make it slower as far as I could tell.
Great experience, in general.

Hello,
I have big problem. My samsung stucked on booting.
Let me explain how this happened:
I tried to upgrade the phone with android 6.0.
Data on the phone was encrypted.
All gone smoothly but when I tried to turn it on its like this:
1. Can see Samsung logo
2. Can see mobile operator logo
3. Can see place to type password, after I type password it goes forward
4. Can see open lock, probably it shows that password is correct
But after that nothing happens. It stucks.
I need to get my pictures and some files, of course its not on MicroSD Card....
Another problem is that PC cannot see the device.
Any suggestion how to recover data?
Need to factroy reset phone bud.
how to do it?
Also I will lose all data, right?

With s6 edge, you could flash twrp, flash a zip file to enable storage to be mounted in recovery. Then copy the files to/from pc prior to factory reset. But yes this is an s6, not sure.

But I cannot access the phone by USB cable, so how to flash twrp, even if it works?

You should still have access to donwload mode.

Hi people.
I have a Pixel 2 which dropped and contains a file I really want to get a hold of. After it dropped, the screen was completely black, but the phone was responsive. I can't seem to get it to work in Recovery, so assuming it's dead and not just BSOD.
Now, I could still "use" it via my smartwatch, but obviously after rebooting, I now need to type in my pin before I can simply unlock it with my fingerprint. I seem to be able to do this, as, when I restart the phone, it doesn't mount as USB, but when I then plug in a keyboard and type "space space pin enter" after, and then plug it into the PC, it is mounted, but I still can't see any files.
Anybody know if I now still need to enable mass storage instead of MTP or something like that, and what keyboard shortcuts I would need to do this?
Or any other method to get hold of the files?
I have tried adb, but it doesn't see any devices, so I'm guessing developer mode is turned off.

If I remember correctly you can still use fastboot boot with a locked bootloader. In that case download TWRP, reboot phone into bootloader and do fastboot boot /path/to/twrp.img. That should get you a storage device once twrp is booted, then pull the file out

Thanks so much Muhammad. The problem is, the screen is completely black, so I can't see anything, even in the bootloader. I guess I can install TWRP from the browser on my PC, but not sure if it will install until I've unlocked the phone, for instance, which brings me back to square one. But I'll see if that's possible using my other phone, though it still runs Android 5, not sure if they will behave the same.
Hi! I copied all my data from my Redmi 6A with broken display using ADB. I also changed the screen lock from pattern to pin using SCRCPY. But now whenever I enter the correct pin, it says that the pin is wrong. I have not forgotten the pin as I used the same one for all my devices. Could this be caused by some broken piece of hardware? Although I have copied all my data, but still I don't want to reset it. I can try all the possible 9999 combinations by running some script. Can it unlock it without damaging my device? It runs on Android 8 with MIUI 11.5. Any help is much appreciated.

Hi! I tried it but it says wrong password. Actually, I was a bit the night I changed the password and there may be a chance that I put something that I don't remember now. Is there any chance that a fall might have corrupted some part of the hardware? And if there is not, can I try brute forcing all possible combinations without damaging my data? I just don't want to lose some data that I cannot pull via ADB.
