Dear XDA forum,
Short story:
- Phone (huawei mya-l41) felt into water
- Recover for some days after a good bowl of rice
- Screen stops working completely afterwards#
- Got the phone to get back data (Unfortunately no backup was made )
Tests:
1. Preparation for connection to the PC
- Installation of MTK65XXX while in Windows Test Mode due to unsigned drivers
- Installation of adb/fastboot from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...vers-15-seconds-adb-installer-v1-4-3.2588979/
2. Connection to the PC
- USB Connection is unstable => crashes after ~3/5s
- Screen is not powering on
- Phone has already been charged for 2 hours to ensure power is high enough
- Trying to put the phone in recovery mode, but I'm not sure if I could reach it
- Being able to connect to the UART Port by luck in that range via Terminus https://github.com/Eugeny/terminus
and I can see the output "READY" printed out in series, but I don't know what it means

=> I tried to search on the forum with the keyword "READY" "ADB" "USB" but nothing interesting popped up
=> Searching in the Android source code will not help to, due to massive finds I guess
Any idea how I could proceed further?
Thanks a lot for any hints!
Rice may not work for drying phone. You'd better open it up and dried the sim and all that you could with a tissue. And you should also replace the battery if it has swollen.

I've got the phone after some days (1 week I would say) when it was not working as it's not mine. I expect the phone to be dry since there. The person already bought a new phone, he just would like to get back the photos
Good point for the battery! But it seems the battery has not swollen

Someone please help
I’ve been using ADB for awhile on my Windows 7 and it use to work perfectly without any problem. However recently, whenever I connect my phone (HTC Desire HD) to my PC, I don’t know why Window suddenly freezes after few minutes (varies between 1 to 7 min) and I have no option but to restart by pulling the plug.
Any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks and any advice/help will be highly appreciated,
USBDview is a free application from the NirSoft range and allow you to not only view the USB devices connected to your PC, and give you valuable information like VendorID, ProductID but also gives the power usage of the USB device. This can be at times good for troubleshooting any USB issues as they maybe power related.

Use it's free and remove all what you see when you use it. Then reboot the system.

I did something drastic today. I ripped apart the old TF-101 keyboard (already broken prior) to get at the battery pack inside, opened my son's Transformer, and swapped out the dead battery inside with the one from the keyboard, only to find out that... the other pack is just as dead as the one already inside the Transformer.

I get the same red battery icon when I try to turn on the Transformer I just reassembled using the other battery. Now, I could in theory remove the battery from the second Transformer I have in order to do this, but opening up one of these things and extracting the battery is a non-trivial task to say the least, and I don't relish doing it again. A new battery is rather expensive, at around $40 + delivery, and to be frank I'd rather just spend that $40 as part of the cost of a new tablet. However, it turns out that there are some files inside that thing that I want to be able to recover (mostly photos and videos), so I'd ask what options I have for attempting to power up that thing one last time to extract the data from it. One way would be to use the working Transformer's battery, but that is obviously quite out of the question. I could put the thing on a lab bench somewhere (just assume that I have the facilities to be able to do this) and feed it with 7.4 Vdc along the same 8-pin header that the battery uses, to fool the tablet into thinking it had a working battery, allowing it to boot. What do the wires do, and what voltage levels should they have in order to make the tablet think it has a good battery?
There is a USB mod on the forums here somewhere to feed 1 USB port on your machine 12v instead of 5v using a 12v molex feed from the PSU, which allows charging from a USB port, which would also allow data access from the same port
I`ll post a link if I find it
EDIT - Could be here somewhere

I own two T699's, one looks a bit wore so I'm trying to replace it with a better looking one.
Found one on ebay but from the first second it reboots when going into the 'battery' screen (charge only when turned off)
I thought okay.. maybe a software issue with the phone, but now I already did the following:
- Odin flash it to an older version
- free Unlock the phone (using an european operator, this worked fine)
- OTA update to the newest
- USB didn't work anymore?? -> Odin to the newest
- USB working again, still unlocked
- ODIN TWRP and install CM11
- CM11 boots just fine (connected to the charger)
- CM11 gives no charging info, reconnect USB, now the charging icon is working...
- seconds later.. reboot
- works again.. no charging, reconnect charger... seconds later reboot!
-turn off, connect charger, see the charging icon showing up (full screen) reboot .. reboot.. reboot etc..
-turn on (no charger) check battery info in CM11, see this:

weird gap..
So my conclusion is that this phone works perfectly when it's not charging.
Is this a thing you can fix with software?
If no, but there is a hardware fix, i'm also willing to try it.

I also found another topic (not related to T699 but other samsung phone) same issue but they guy opened it up and had water damage.
He was able to fix it by cleaning the pcb's etc.
Since I have experience with this I opened up my T699..
And to my surprise there is a lot of 'sticky' stuff (think it's Cola or some other soda) so i'm cleaning it now with some PCB cleaning solution.
Will let it dry for today and hopefuly it's working tomorrow :angel:
Made some photo's as well to contact the ebay seller.. because this is not as advertised.. :silly:
Hi guys,
Yesterday my OPO fell down on a busy street and ran over by truck, cars and bikes. The display is completely broken. I tried turning on after that but the phone is not vibrating.
I took my device to service center today, but he said he tried changing teh battery and boot but no luck. So display and logic board needs to be changed.
So I decided tear down and wanted to run few steps.
1. Tried booting with wall charger but without battery - not heating, not booting
2. Connected battery and no wall charger - no luck, board not heating.
3. Connected battery and wall charger - board heating but not booting.
In all the above cases the rotor on the bottom is not spinning.
Question
1. Why board heats in step 3?
2. I plan to buy the display and battery, how do I make sure the board is perfect. BTW the board looks perfect?
3. In all the above tests, the SIM card is inserted and waited for few minutes and tried dialing my number but it says Switched off all the time. Is that mean the device is completely dead?
Need constructive replies please.

If your device has really been ran over by truck or car, I don't think anything in the device will survive. (Maybe the plastic cover is flexible enough to withstand such pressure, but the motherboard is definitely not so strong although on the outside its not wrecked) As for the motherboard heating then wall charger and battery in, I suggest that it's because something is short circuited in the motherboard.

Only heating with battery hooked up sounds to me like you are on the right track. The chip packages don't have internal wires to break these days. Good luck and report back.
I received my battery yesterday, I tested it, no sign of notification light, vibration during turn on. I tried connected it to PC, but dont know which process to look at. Any help?
Update: The process is "windows driver foundation user mode driver framework host process" but it shows when connected by other android not mine [broken opo]
Hi everyone!
For almost a couple of months I have been dealing with my bricked Nokia 8, it became like this on its own, I did absolutely nothing to it, this is one of the greatest mysteries I've come across and been living in misery since.
If you want to know the full extent and description, you can check it in my original post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-8/help/help-nokia-8-powering-unresponsive-t3993959
Since then I have posted in the Noob thread and have been communicating with others, to the point that I've been trying my phone out with QPST, in particular the eMMC Software Download App. The reason being that I am wanting to gain access to my deep internal storage and do a full backup of the device, before I do any flashing or repairing to unbrick that would erase my data completely (I am in desperate need to retrieve my contacts and SMS messages as they are not backed up online or offline. It is also making my work life incredibly difficult and loosing out on jobs )
Long story short, my Nokia 8 gets recognised in device manager in 15 minutes after connected by USB as Qualcomm 9008 (before it was QSUSB_BULK but I installed the Qualcomm drivers manually).
I then proceed to open emmc software download app, and after wanting to "Switch device to DLOAD" I get this happening:
{

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It remains in that state with no progression (looks like 20%) and I have tried this again and after leaving it for more than 2 hours it's still the same and gives me this error message after selecting Okay.
However, if I unplug and re-plug USB, then open again emmc software download app, and then click DLOAD button to select phone, I get this:
The State is now Enabled but no more Q/QCP-XXX (Sahara Download), it just says No Phone.
Any idea what this means???
Does anyone know if they may have experienced this whatsoever? And if anyone can help me on this??
I would really really appreciate it!
