Help! Pixel 2 dead screen unrooted, ADB not enabled. need to access data - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

my pixel two screen died.. google backup restore joke service failed to restore sms or app setting to new phone. i need to grab that data from the old phone but cant see or use the screen, phone is not rooted and adb debugging not enabled. and i am not much more than a novice ahhhhhh!

The same happened to me. Try using vysor in pc. It shows your Mobile screen on pc. It worked for me. You dont need to install vysor n your mobile. Pc verion will auto install it on your device.

thanks for the help but im not sure if I had twrp after all . no matter what i can't get past the adb device "unauthorized" state. turns out the pixel2 is unique in not supporting usb-c to hdmi - thanks Google. i tried unified toolkit and vysor. next thing i might try is a hammer and send the pulverized phone back to Google.

I think I just bricked my phone, any help?

So I rooted my phone via Oneplus Toolkit but somehow maybe because of driver problem, the recovery was still Cyanogen recovery. I decided to flash a new recovery again via Toolkit but after turned it off from fastboot mode and reboot, my phone wouldn't boot. Just black screen. I couldn't enter fastboot mode either. When I connect it to PC via USB it shows QHSUSB. I did some search online and I'm afraid it's bricked. Is there anyway I can save it? Thanks in advance!

[Q] Retrieving files with a dead screen

Hello,
I just broke my nexus 5 screen but the device is still working. I'd like to retrieve some files from my phone before buying a new one, like pictures or SMS for example.
Here is what I can do :
- Boot in fastboot mode
- Flash a custom recovery (ex : TWRP)
Here is what is not working :
- Device is not recognized in Windows file folder, then I suppose that MTP is not enabled
- no developer mode enabled
- no USB debugging mode enabled
- Then ADB is not working
By the way, the device is not unlocked and not rooted.
I tried to flash and boot into TWRP mode but I don't know how to "drive" it from my computer as the device screen is not working.
Could somebody help me please ?

Then i suppose there is nothing you can do if almost nothing works and adb doesn`t recognise your phone, good luck mate

You can`t, the bootloader is locked so you can`t flash custom stuff like a recovery. And even then you couldn`t know what buttons you`ld press if you can`t see what you`re doing.

Unlocking the device wipes the device, so this kills the whole purpouse of your question. Might as well do nothing and get the phone repaired or buy a another one.

if bl is not unlocked... you won't be able to flash a custom recovery to use ADB to pull files.. so.. you're done here.
I maybe found a solution but I need a specific apk.
I may use the sideload mode to push and install a ROM or an apk. The best would be to push/install an apk from sideload mode, and this apk would automatically launch itself at device startup and will activate USB debugging mode which will allow me to fully use adb.
What do you think about that ? Would you know an apk which would do that ?
Or secondary option, push a specific ROM with USB debugging enabled by default. But I'm afraid that it could erase all my data.

Can you try ubuntu.
download a live cd version and boot into ubuntu or maybe a smaller version of linux (i know ubuntu works)
once booted into ubuntu plug in the phone.
usually linux can read the file system even when windows can't
You can't flash anything unsigned with stock recovery.

Yes it does. And it's responding in fastboot and sideload mode. So the phone is working, it's just the screen which ia dead.
The only way is to install a custom recovery. There is no other way. However as you said, unlocking the bootloader will erase everything.

sorry that did not work.
when connected to ubuntu and you type "fastboot devices" do you get a response?
If so ubuntu can not browse file system in fastboot mode, you need to reboot back to the OS.
type fastboot reboot and when the phone reboots try to browse the file system.

Its not a PC problem, my phone is bricked!
Did you try different USB cables and USB ports? Try a different computer?
So there is no life at all when connected to a battery charger? Was the battery fully charged before flashing?
Maybe try opening the phone, disconnecting the battery from the mobo for about a minute, reconnect battery, insert charging cable, and see what happens?

the bootloader dosen´t change between caf or non caf, its the same one since it isnt an open source project. if it dosent detect then its a driver/connection problem.

If you are getting the word "BULK" in device manager, I think it is bricked. You need it to say "9008" somewhere in the device name.

How to root zenfone 7 ZS670KS

hello guys
how do i root this phone please.
none of the google searched guides seem to work.
1. i've unlocked the bootloader using the asus app
2. i have adb installed on my pc
3. i've enabled usb debug mode on phone and allowing installation unknown apps
4. i've installed magisk v23 by downloading from github and just installing the apk file normally
5. i've downloaded a 2.9gb zip file from asus for androind 11 firmware onto phone and pc (but its a zip file that extracts a bin file, no image file)
my problem seems to be i don't know how to CREATE AND PATCH an image file or install twrp and install image file that way.
Could someone help, there doesn't seem to be any guides for rooting in this phones forum.
Look in the twrp thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-official-twrp-for-asus-zenfone-7-series.4161719/
after twrp you can flash the magisk.zip

i keep getting era waiting for device when i want to flash the phoben with twrp.
adb reboot bootloader (works and i enter the recovery menu start, bootloader, recovery, power off etc)
fastboot flash recovery_a twrp.img (when i type this cmd power shell just says waiting for device)
i have universal drivers installed and android sdk installed. not sure why it isn't recognising the phone?
When my phone is switched on normally, cmd recognises it, when i use adb devices. but as soon as i reboot into recovery mode using cmd "adb reboot bootloader" it stops recognising the phone on the list of devices using the cmd "adb devices"
so you don`t get an answer from your phone by "fastboot devices" ?
Have you tried another usb cable and or port?

no answer from phone when in fastboot mode.

I'll try with another cable, but if it responds to adb when in normal mode. doesn't it mean it's not a cable issue but a software driver issue?

seems when i do adb reboot bootloader it goes into what i thought was called fastboot. It even says fastboot.
but in that mode my phone isn't recognised by cmd when type adb devices, it doesn't come up.
it has 4 options reboot system now, botloader, enter recovery, reboot to bootloader, power off.
if i then select enter recovery. it enters a smaller text screen with lots of small blue writing. when inside that screen (recovery mode) cmd seems to recognise my device.
but it says it is unauthorized. this is in recovery mode.
i'm not sure why it says it is unauthorized. i've authorised my pc to control the phone through the fingerprint, when the message popped up.
but i can't push the twrp.img file through because of this.
since cmd doesn't seem to recognise phone in fastboot mode.
and cmd doesn't seem to have authorisation in recovery mode.
any ideas?
is it possible to root using adb sideload or install twrp using adb sideload?

Thats the right mode.
Does the phone at normal start show that the bootloader is unlocked?
Your debugging mode is turned on in developer settings?
A sideload isn`t possible I think.

yes, shows bootloader is unlocked when i start the phone.
usb debugging mode is turned on.
i think for some reason in fastboot mode the device driver is not recognised in windows. have googled seems it was a very old problem that happned on phones 6 years ago. nut i haven't found anything recent to solve same error.

i think its definitely a driver issue. windows 10 seems to be overriding the drivers and installing wrong ones. and won't let me install right ones.
