My HTC radar is pin locked and the screen is completely broken, it turns on and rings but I can't do anything with it. Is there any way for me to recover my pictures and videos? When I use the Zune program it tells me to unlock the device with my pin but i can't put my pin in. I edited my registry so the radar shows up as a removable storage with 4gbs of space used, but when I open it, the folder is empty.
Any thing I can do to recover my data?
Thanks, I appreciate any help.

Bought a touch pro knowing that the backlight on the screen works, but that the actual screen doesn't. I've tried connecting it to the computer and it said it that the phone needs to be unlocked first...i was going to see if I could unstall SOTI on there and use the computer to view the screen and stuff...i've tried hard resets and I'm lost can anyone help.
Bad screen or flex cable
Open and close the handset while it is turned on, if it flickers or you see any color or shape goasting then the flex cable is needs replacing.
If you can see the backlight on, and nothing changes then look for impact damage, usually something/somone fell on it.
If no damage markings, then the unit is probably locked, an no one knows the code.
Contact seller for more info?
I haven't try to recover a locked TP yet.
But, If your up to trying something. Find the correct "Service Provider" up-date or original shipped ROM from HTC support, this forum or PPCGeeks.com.
With the shipped .exe ROM packages, the TP can be put in bootloader and "Clean Flashed" without needing to be unlocked or add anything.
This how updated ROM are delivered and installed from HTC.
Hope this bit of info helps. I have the Last Alltel .exe if you need it.
Thanks for the info but sadly that didn't work. The loader says it can't establish a connection.
Well update got the phone to hard reset and now it's unlocked can anyone walk me though what happens after the hard reset. Like after the hard reset what screens show up show that i can set this up without the screen and use my SOTI program to view the screen on the computer

Here is the thing. The rom is going to start up doing the initial setup (calibration, time zone selection, etc). Mymobiler might work better since it installs via activesync and connects to the device the moment you plug it in. Give that a go and see if it works.
Thank you i will try that
Probably not the right place to ask but is there someway i can install a program on the phone without any kind of input from myself...ie putting mymobiler or similar cab file and having it run it when i inserted the memory card and i not having to make any kind of inputs on the screen? seeing as i can't see anything?

If you put an autorun file in the root of the card pointing to that cab, you should be able to do this. However, the device will ask you if you want to install to memory or storage. I guess if you simply press the "Enter" button (circle in the D-pad), it might just do it.
My Motorola maxx has a broken screen, there is no image at all.
the device appears to power cycle, and when connected to win 7 there are 2 drives to explore, both appear as unformatted.
any ideas on how to recover my files ?
Oh, when I connect my new maxx the folders are also unreadable
any advice welcome, its been an expensive week.
Is one at least a removable SD card? Perhaps you can at least take that out and use a card reader on your pc. If it is readable, I am guessing that on the phone you need to enter your pin / lock code before the SD Cards become readable.
Hi XDA
I have a problem I hope you can help me with.
Yesterday, while I was using my phone, the screen looked like it "shorted". It went black and white, horizontal lines apeared, flashing all over the screen. I haven't been able to get the screen to show anything since. The touch function still seems to work though.
I have a lot of pictures of my daughter and such on this phones that I would very much like to retrieve from the phone, if possible, before I send it to be repaired. I fear that, if they have to change the motherboard, I will loose all of the data, since it's located on the phones internal memory.
Now I've not been very smart, I haven't backed up the photos on Dropbox or Google Drive etc. so all of the pictures are placed on the phone, and as an attempt to reset the phone, I've pulled out the battery, reseting and LOCKING the phone in the "enter pin code" screen (Samsungs buildt in security), meaning that I cant "open" the phone and retrieve the pictures from the PC - Kies does not work either, it tells me the phone is locked, meaning I have to open it with the pin, and since there is no screen, this is impossible.
Is there any program or "root" hack etc. that I can install on the pc and force the phones USB data sharing to open, so that I can mount it on the PC and get the pictures?
I've googled around, but nothing I can use, has showed up.
Thank you in advance!
try adb from recovery, but if the pin encrypts the phone, it won't work. nothing will, actually.
what you have to do is hook up a tv out and use yout tv as a screen

Recovery wont work.. how do I hook it up to a tv? The phone only has usb...
Nvm
I'll go buy an mhl cable !
Well that didn't do the trick.
The phone wont send picture to the tv, so I guess I'm screwed
but once you've got your phone screen on tv, you could upload photos to drop box/google drive?

Hello,
My friend's Z2 was faulty and the screen died while taking a picture underwater.
The device appears to still be running normally but the screen is completely dead, no display, no touch response.
The device has a swipe lock code set which is preventing her from accessing the data when the phone is plugged into a computer.
Sony is saying they can't fix it without clearing the data and local fix-it shops are saying they can't fix the screen.
Is there anything that can be done to remotely unlock it so we can access the data from a computer?
Cheers for the help! :fingers-crossed:

Hm, quite a conundrum.
Well it depends what you mean by "data"
If you mean the files on the internal drive and not contacts or any user data at all.. You should be able to flash a new ROM using fastboot mode. How to do that is here.
Important information to avoid formatting internal sd card: This process will delete the internal SD Card if WIPE (USER)DATA or any PARTITION option is chosen.
After doing that, when the device restarts you should be able to simply connect (or keep connected) the microUSB cable and it'll show up on your PC the files on the phone.
Provided of course you have all your drivers in order, if you don't... Well here's a few links: 1 2
Hi,,,
I recently broke my Galaxy S4 screen and its not responsive anymore. It doesn't work and doesnt show anything. Blank screen.
I bought a new Oneplus One and I want to transfer all my data from my old phone. Contacts were 30% saved to the device and 20% were to my sim card and the rest were on my Samsung account so its a bit messy. I dont have an SD card so everything is on the internal storage for my phone. I also would like to transfer my apps cache data.. like whatsapp's groups and contact's chat history.
I never hooked my phone up to my PC so my PC doesnt recognize it when I connect it. I don't really want to fix my screen for 100$ in order to transfer all my stuff to my new phone I also cannot unlock my screen cause the screen doesn't work, I do know the pattern though. just saying
So I cant back up using the USB hub, neither can I do anything to the phone because the screen doesn't work and is blank. Is there anyway I can "bypass" the lock screen and force the phone to connect to the PC in order to transfer my stuff to my new phone?
Please help
