Hi All,
I have a problem with my phone. The touchscreen is not responding any more.
I was driving and I connected the phone via the bluetooth of my car. I had made a call, after the call the touchscreen became unresponsive. I tried everything, pulled the battery, changed the sim, removed the micro SD card, and even tried other chargers aswel the original.
Nothing seems to work. Does someone know how I can backup my stuff, because the phone is locked and Samsung Kies will only work when I will manually unlock the phone (resetting via the power, volume up and home button).
The phone has not been rooted and there is ICS 4.0.3 installed (Something with XEN).
Can someone give me tips how I can solve this problem without losing data.
Here is the video where you can see the problem:

u should flash a custom kernel like siyah via download mode and then make a bakcup using recovery mode, then after u reset the phone u can , restore the data only from that backup u did with siyah kernel recovery

Okay I have installed the siyah kernel via download mode, how do I go to the recovery mode?
The touch still does not work.
Vol up + home + pwr button

You can also use adb and then type:
$ su
# reboot recovery

adb says: Error: there are no devices
The android debugging mode is off, and the device is locked, I can't unlock it.

Use the combo Vol up + home + pwr button.
Then you can control everything with physical buttons.

Thanks I have used adb shell succesfully and deleted some huge mp4. After the deletion and rebooting the device, the touchscreen became responsive and it is working again.
Does touchscreen make use of storage? I know that the storage was full.

Anyone got any idea how the hell I can flash stock rom onto my g/fs s2 i9100p without a working volume up button.
it doesn't connect to Kies either (suspect Orange bloatware blocking it.

Up button is for recovery. If you want to flash sammy stock rom you need to use volume down and enter download mode so you can flash via ODIN.

yep volume down for recovery then asks you to press volume up to continue!
Think a usb jig bypasses the up to continue (cant be arsed checking though).

Ah yeah, sorry forgot about that.
In that case your screwed, nothing you can do except get the button fixed.
There is one solution if you have root and that is to install Mobile Odin and start the flash of md5 via that.
depending on what rom, some developers have installed the 4 way menu which will allow you to access download/recovery mode through the power button, you will not need a working volume up button except to navigate up on non touch recoveries.

Good point. He could still navigate but will just need to keep going down until diverted back to top if needed.
There is plenty of apps in the store that can reboot into recovery/download modes like Hot reboot for example.
This is orange stock rom.
According to some websites I can use a command line ADB to push it into recovery even without root.
Going to try tonight when I get home.
tried it at home and works fine.
switch the phone into usb developement mode and then simply use adb to reboot it into recovery/download modde
adb reboot recovery
adb reboot download
ICS 4.04 now on the girlfriends S2 now
I recently changed my framework-res.apk and now I'm stuck at the boot animation. I don't want to completely reset my device with a kdz. I've looked around and haven't found much about recovery. I have the original apk file, but I just need a way to push it. Anyone have a way?

Do you have cwm installed ? If not you can try: phone powered down , hold vol+ home + power, should bring up message saying something about service center..
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw, remount /system
rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
exit
adb push /path-to/orginal/framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb reboot
Thanks for the reply. I didn't read about CWM before this happened, otherwise this would be easy. I've held down every button combination at boot that I can think of and get nothing like that. When holding vol- + home + power I get an Android and a progress bar that causes the phone to reboot after no more than 10 seconds. Nothing shows up in the device manager during that time either.

I can get into fastboot through omap4boot. If I can get a cwm recovery img for my device I should be able to fix it.

fastboot + cwm recovery only works if you've unlocked bootloader
easiest way to restore your phone now is by s/w mode ,either lg tool or offline method
or "vol+ and home and power" and the rest from 2nd post in this thread

All you have to PRESS is volume down, nothing else.Merely press it because if you hold it down, it won't boot into recovery

I had cwm before i unlocked boot loader...install with 9 installer.apk and choose test version (stable version won't boot)..plus if you have a CWM backup( they r also in the forums as well) adb restore is 50 times faster than using LG Update tool.

But I don't have any ADB and can't boot into the ROM, I'll just use the LG Update tool. I have a thread detailing what working modifications I did and how I did it, so I can get all those working. Thanks guys.

Wh. I you see flashing LEDs..no flashing LEDs means no CWM if you don't have it( it comes and goes sometimes FM) try pushing recovery.IMG thru adb

there are two types of cwm recovery, one uses 2nd boot and other recovery partition , if bootloader is locked and phone won't boot you can't use neither and cwm backups are useless

As a young developer I HIGHLY recommend becoming very familiar with ADB, it saved a BUNCH of times on my Galaxy S...its great if you can get the hang of it, all commands are the same for all devices, the help section is sort of sketchy, but with a lot of trial and error, I picked it up nicely

Yes, I know how useful ADB is and use it frequently, but in my phone's state it's not starting and won't ever start.

The best thing to do (if you haven't done so already) is to flash the kdz (thanks cmahendra and everyone else for y'all hard work) and start from scratch. Second, install artas182x (thanks Artas!) cwm and make a backup. I had to learn the hard way too

To the OP i am currently in the same boat as far as not being able to boot and not being able to access adb. Have you figured anything out or are you still stuck? Before chimes in I do have CWM( the lights flash on reboot) but when i press the -vol button the phone does nothing.
Try connecting in s/w upgrade mode ( holding vol + while inserting usb to phone) it should load some drivers and you should be able to connect in adb. If not connect in every mode possible, to load any drivers(they will still load even though your phone isn't showing any signs of life as long as you have the installed LG drivers previously)

Yesterday I copied one build.prop and forgot to apply chmod 777 ..., and restarted the phone.
Could enter the cwm or recovery method to correct ... but my volume buttons do not work.
My computer does not recognize the phone, (reconhecece caaso would use adb reboot recovery)
so what to do?

If your volume buttons don't work, only solution is to flash .kdz for your phone model.

The volume problem is with the hardware, I believe that should be a flat cable.

If yes, flash one of my kdz's with TWRP, so you dont need volume buttons in recovery. TWRP is fully touch.

unless there is some form of access with the adb debug mode off and the cell phone off ...
Fastboot also work.

Your phone is unavailable to boot?
My device does not boot into Recovery or Download mode.
I am pressing the RIGHT key combinations, at the right time(at the i9100 logo) but the device does not react.
Buttons are working just fine (the phone is new).
Comes with original unmodified firmware:
4.1.2
Baseband:
I9100XXMS2
Build number:
JZO54K.I9100XWLSS
I also tried booting into recovery from ADB, but ADB does not recognise my phone for some reason.
Can anyone help please?

If the phone works fine, you should be able to get into recovery and download mode. Turn the phone off, then press power, home and vol up at same time and release after the Samsung i9100 screen appears
I know but the key combination is not working. It just doesnt go into recovery at all. Any ideas?

This is one option. By doing this, you will have root access. You will have to get a usb jig to get into download mode, and I'm assuming you can connect to a pc and you have the correct drivers installed etc.
1. Download Odin from HERE
2. Download the philz kernel(XWLSS .tar.md5 version) from HERE
3. Run odin on a pc
4. Use the usb jig to enter download mode and connect phone to pc using a trusted data cord.It should say "added" in the box on the left
5. In "PDA" field, put the philz kernel. Press start, then wait for green box "PASSED"
6. The phone should automatically reboot.
7. Go to Play Store and install "Rom Toolbox Lite"
8. Run the app and go to reboot to recovery/download mode
I remember reading that ROM TOOLBOX was incompatible with the S2. From what I read it breaks recovery on the phone.
There is an alternative......you need root for it, but once you *do* have root, visit the playstore for this app.....
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vasily.powermenu
I have used it in the past......
It allows the user to boot into recovery & download modes from the homescreen.....no buttons required.....

you need push the buttons from start to the i9100 logo that it is the trick to boot ^^
Thanks guys for suggestions. The problem is, I cannot have root, without getting into recovery.
And I know the correct button combination, it just doesn't work.
I say it again: I check, the buttons function normally inside Android. But while booting, it does not do anything.
Is there any way to get ADB debugging to work on jelly bean firmware 4.1.2? From adb, I could reboot into download and recovery mode too.
Right now, ADB does not recognize my device.
Any suggestions?
As a previous poster said, buy a USB jig from eBay (or make one yourself)......
You plug it in to the usb socket (when the phone is switched off) and it forces the phone into download mode without having to press any buttons.....
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
Okay so I didn't wanted to buy stuff neither to make my own.
So here's what I did:
I downloaded KingRoot 4.5, and I rooted the phone with it. I downloaded the Quick Reboot app, and now I can enter recovery.
Thanks for your suggestions though. Have a nice day!
Hello!
My friend has a big problem. He broke his phone screen (LCD and touch). His Android has pattern to unlock and usb debugging off. System work's - I see about 15 px of top menu and hear sound from speaker.
Is there any chance to recive data from internal memory? He broke that phone about 3 month ago and right now he probably don't remember pattern.
I try connect mouse and keyboard with OTG cable, but it does not work. I try push 3 buttons and open recovery menu, but nothing to happend.
It is possible, pattern locks are really simple to crack using adb (tons of tutorials online).
Once you have done that, you can try to use the good ol otg combo.
If that doesn't work, boot into download mode (usually power button + home + volume down) and flasha recovery (don't wipe the userdata). Then from there, adb can recognize it and you can create a backup from there and access shell to get the files.
Good luck.

Pop your battery out, then after ~10min put it back in, then hold power + home button + volume down and flash recovery, then when you boot into recovery mtp and and will be enabled. Good luck
