I have an EVO 4G LTE with a failed touch screen and am seeking a way to desperately pull pictures/video off local memory. My phone was set to charge only prior to it failing, so I am unable to pull files via USB and my wifi was turned off.
I believe my only hope lies in this -
Is there a way to turn on USB debugging without touch screen interaction? Is there an app that I can download from Play that'll do this automatically without any interaction from my end?
Is there an app that I can download via play that'll automatically turn on my phones wireless? If so, perhaps I can hit it's IP and pull files this way.
Any other ideas?

You should be able to do a full back up with adb but I don't remember how exactly.

From my understanding... to use adb, I need to be in USB debugging mode, which I am unable to activate without the touch screen being functional. Perhaps I'm incorrect... and hopefully so...
FYI - I will be willing to pay for a solution that allows me to extract my pictures/video from my cell. I can not lose these memories. To anyone that can provide any help it'll be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Never mind, probably won't work

Are you rooted?? Can't you go into recovery and mount your internal memory and access it from your PC.
My phone is not rooted. When I go to recovery mode, I'm presented with a triangle and a red exclamation point. Will rooting my phone allow me access to internal memory? I'm open to suggestions.
Just go to a corporate/repair store, they can either replace your digitizer or retrieve your photos for you. If you go to a 3rd party sprint store they won't fix it they will just order you a new/referb phone or refer you to a corporate store.

68 bucks on eBay will you a brand new screen. I'd go that option before dealing with sprint and their crap. There's a few good instructional videos on YouTube that show you how to replace screen.

Use adb.
"adb pull (location of your files)”
So if you want pictures, you could do adb pull /sdcard/DCIM and that will give you the whole folder with all of your photos.

First off, thanks to everyone popping in providing suggestions. As of now, I still have had no luck pulling my data off internal memory. I've taking it to both 3rd party stores and corporate stores and they've each said that the other is more lenient with replacing touch screens. Go figure. I've also been told that Sprint is not authorizing taking this phone apart and that parts are not yet available.
With some digging, I've discovered that the HTC EVO 4G LTE uses the same screen and digitizer as the One X and as one poster above linked, can be purchased online.
Gumby - I've tried this method, but when I input the adb devices command, my phone does not appear. From everything I've read, this method would require the phone to be in USB debugging mode; however, I hope that I'm wrong.
Can anyone provide some insight into what I'll need to purchase to get my touch screen functional? From my understanding I need to purchase both the screen and the digitizer and replace these items. Keep in mind my phone is fully functional, but does not register any touch input.

Ok guys, yes...I'm a noob...
I did a master reset on the phone and now I get nothing...
It won't turn on unless I plug it in to the charger.
When it does turn on, all I get is a few vibrations, and
the icons at the bottom light up.
I can get windows to see the two "drives" of the phone,
but they are empty (have 0 bytes if you right click and check properties. If you left click, it says please insert disc).
I've tried a new battery and my battery turns another phone on...
I've also tried two cables and two PCs.
It hasn't been rooted or messed with, the battery died and I went to charge
it and nothing...I left it on charge overnight and at least see a bit life.
Any ideas, or should I just send it on to HTC??
So that others have a better idea... can you get into hboot or fastboot?

he said he already tried a new charged battery, so it can't be that. I'm thinking his phone's OS might be gone so he should probably installed a RUU or something.

There isn't a way if your phone isn't detected or you can't get into hboot. Meaning you have no control over your phone to do anything.
Anyways, for htc warranty exchanges that is done with tmobile... they usually send you the phone first and then you send one back in return. Unless your policy is different. So i suggest you calling them immediately.
Update
I can go into control panel and "see" the phone listed in device manager under portable devices as "F" and "G". Click properties and they are found as HTC devices. Does this mean I can do anything to it? I just want my phone back working as fast as I can. Sending it in will take a while. I bought this phone for the camera. We have a 1 yr old and don't wanna miss the Christmas pics...

are you on tmobile? they usually send within 2 days, their distribution center is in texas or something. I usually get it next day.
You said your screen doesn't turn on or doesn't show anything. It's gonna be hard to determine what you're doing even if you can run ADB to put it in oem fastboot and to flash a RUU that way. But it sounds like your display might be a problem too then. It'll be quicker to do an exchange. If you call in today, they'll probably ship it on monday and you'll get it wednesday latest. unless you have tmobile insurance plan. it should be next day and you'll get it tuesday.
Thanks
Well that might work for me then...can't hurt to give it a try.
Thanks a bunch for letting me know !!!
No problem, I had my fair share dealing with tmobile exchanges lol.
If you purchased directly from tmobile it should be very easy to do an exchange because your warranty is verified.
If you bought it off craigslist/ebay. sometimes the previous users used a different carriers that makes the warranty no longer verified. HOWEVER many customer reps will still try to process the exchange (you can determine by their upbeat personalities lol).
If you run into someone who won't do it, just call again and talk to another rep. Most of the time they will push it through because it's still a newly released phone.
Have you already contacted T-Mobile support? You'll have to talk to them anyway before they agree to replace your phone.
The reason I am asking this is because there might be an unpublished backdoor way to restore your device if your device is not completely (hardware-wise) dead. For example, Dell Streak has a complete firmware image on its internal SD card and you needed to somehow trigger an IPL routine to restore the device to its original condition.
I haven't heard of anything similar on HTC devices yet, but hey, it's just a thought. And if there actually is a way, and you are the first one to post it here, you'll be a hero!

yeah we normally just flash a RUU, but you can't even see the screen, so we can't even be certain that we're in the correct modes to be flashing and stuff. because we require to ADB it to restart in fastboot, but we can't even see if its going to fastboot. or if it already is in fastboot to begin with, so we're not certain which commands to run with the screen being off. Well you can always try commands and it should only work in certain modes, but do you really want to do it blindly? I would rather just exchange the thing.
Not afraid to try....
Well, I can't use it as it is...exchange is a hassle even in 2-3 days. Can't do anything until tomorrow anyway. I was thinking today, I've heard they can port Android to iPhone...there's no fastboot there, is there ??? Soooooo, if it's turning on, I should be able to do something...I want my phone back !!!

I can't replace this phone, and my parents who own the contract didn't purchase insurance for it. I am nearly broke, and the repair costs for this part is over 200$, and my parents refuse to pay for this. All I need to do is copy all of the files from my phone to my computer, but i cannot enable mass storage to access the pictures/music on the internal storage because the screen is out. Does anyone have an idea as to how I could fix this, or move the files off of the phone? A thousand thanks to whoever could help me in this/:

Is Android Debugging on? Then you probably could get ADB to work.
If not, then...
Thats the thing. the screens black on my phone cause its broken, so i cant check if its on or not. idk how to use mass storage w/o this):
Droid VNC server may be an option, if you can somehow get it to work.
You have to download the app on the market to vnc with the computer, it would work if I wouldve already downloaded it.. I cant do anything on my phone at all. Thanks for the attempt though

sure you can, plug it in to your computer and just run adb devices, if it shows up, then debugging is on, if it is off it will tell you no device found
so to pull all the files off your sdcard assuming debugging is on..
1. in adb mount the sdcard (I forget the command off the top of my head, but google is your friend)
2. adb pull /sdcard some_folder_name_in_your_sdk_directory

Assuming I understand this correctly, you can still download apps to your phone by logging in to the market from your computer. This may still be an option.

You could always look around eBay craigslist or anywhere else you can think of and you might get lucky in finding a cheap gs2 that doesn't work but the screen is still intact or maybe if you know anyone that maybe willing to let you borrow their screen from their phone for yours if you know how to. I just haven't pulled apart any phones since I came
To the US in 2002 so I'm not sure if its still that simple to do.
I haven't tried it yet so some of the others may be able to chime in but what about the possibility of using the HDMI adapter. I have looked at purchasing one and they are not very expencive depending on the source. I just do not know if it will automatically output the video when connected or it needs to be enabled.

it automatically works. nothing needs to be enabled
1) If you had USB debugging enabled, you can use ADB. If you're not sure - try it.
2) If you had a custom kernel with CWM installed, you can use ADB from within recovery. Recovery does not normally mount the sdcard but you can do it manually via ADB. I can provide info on this IF you can get ADB connecting first
3) HDMI is another possibility - although controlling the device will be problematic if the touchscreen is also failed. (It's possible that touchscreen is semiworking and main AMOLED is busted.)
For getting ADB installed and running, try Droid Explorer.
Been there done that.
Unfortunately, it'll cost some money to do a diy fix with this phone.
Last summer I dropped my htc aria onto gravel and the glass shattered. I googled around and found an oem digitizer for 30 bucks on ebay, and some great how-to-tear-apart your phone videos on youtube. 5 hours and multiple clumps of hair ripped out later, I got the thing fixed. Granted the light from the soft keys now bleeds onto the screen (thankfully CM7 let me disable them) and the trackpad became recessed in too far to use. But it still got me through until I got my SGS2.
Only thing is, my lcd still worked, it was just the glass digitizer that broke.

You should be able to plug it in to your computer and MTP should connected automatically allowing you to copy your files
So I can't connect my Droid RAZR to my windows 7 machine...
I have tried a lot of things!
I've tried:
*Different computers including Vista and Linux
*Different cables
*Different fastboot files
*Re-installing drivers
*Factory reset
*PIM sync from the market etc.
What happens when I plug my phone into my PC is the computer recognizes it, it makes a sound, then it says Unknown Device connected or some times it says USB malfunctioned and then on my lockscreen it says the phone is charging but it doesn't show on my battery icon.
Whats also interesting is if I got into Fastboot mode and connect to my computer it says USB connected and then I can use it in RSD with no problems.
I'm on ICS with no root.

That was my main concern too! Just got off the phone with them. They let you send it in for repairs with no questions asked. There are a couple stipulations though, obviously no water damage and cracked screens:
HOW TO SEND
- Use secure packaging; We recommend using the free FedEx packaging that is available at a FedEx location. - Print the email (packing list) and include with the package when returning
- Include Proof-Of-Purchase (If Required For Warranty)
- Ensure box is well sealed and the product is well protected
Does anybody know how I can get a proof of purchase if I was not the original buyer of the phone?

Fastboot doesn't give "root status", that's recovery.
Next, Jeanjacq, are you able to fastboot the phone? Make sure you enable USB Debugging on the phone and try to put the phone into MTP mode, not mass storage mode (when you connect the phone to USB, a USB connection manager comes up on the top bar of the phone, click on it). What are the USB device IDs on the phone?
I don't think your USB port is damaged because you are able to fastboot the device. It sounds like some kind of configuration thing.
From Linux please do an lsusb and output the information, and from windows take a screenshot of your unknown device's hardware properties (i'm looking for the USB VID and PID in the screenshot)

If you connect it to your computer can you see it with adb?
If you do: adb devices
Should give you the evo serial number and show it as connected
Then: adb reboot bootloader
Once in bootloader use the volume rocker and to scroll to factory reset, use the power button as enter and it should delete everything, back to factory settings... Good luck!

So this past weekend, My wife's phone fell off a deck and shattered the screen on concrete below. I am wondering if there is any way to get into the Rom to remove the text messages or any other files?
I can not see or do anything with the Touch as it is totally smashed. Is there a way to get in using ADB?

If you have usb debugging enabled then you should be able to pull anything you want from the Rom. You just need to know what files and where and that I have no idea. I think you should be able to backup the entire system/data partition through adb or fastboot however I do not know the commands off hand.

You could hook it up to hdmi and use your tv as the screen

THANK YOU THANK YOU!
The HDMI still works, even though the screen is totally smashed the Touch Does work, just a pain to do, but I am now backing up everything! Thank you for that input, I will have to remember that in the future.
Your welcome, glad I could help and that it worked for you Figured there was a chance the touch screen still worked, even though the lcd didn't

I was just going through the same problem and I believe the hdmi cable should work for me too. Just wanted to thank the poster for the idea. Thanks!!!
