[Q] Broken screen & blind install - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys !
Need some help on this one. I broke my SII LCD (the touchscreen still work) and it looks like usb debugging is not enabled.
I would like to try to use some software like screencast to be able to remote control it but it's not detected buy adb (so I guess usb debugging disabled...)
My idea would be to install a rom with usb debugging enabled by default to be able to get the device detected by adb
Any idea of what rom I could use and on how to proceed ?

Try Team Viewer Quick Support ! If you need any help just let me know.

You can use Neatrom . It's enable by default in it.

Thanks for the answers !
@leonard : Looks great but how do I get back my device ID if I cannot see my screen ? Is it possible ?
@Jeetu : Do you know if it's possible to install it without going through the recovery ? (Odin for example)

Do u have a link

Sorry but i don't know any other app for remote management.

ONLY FOR CWM 6
try to flash it on your recovery mode
with your mind only
so close your eyes and
think that your are looking at the screen
and that you can see what there are
so to flash the rom
go volume down once and then click the power button
again power button
make sure your sd card is empty and only as the rom.zip (you don't need the gapps of course)
click the volume down button 7 times and then power button
wait 10 or 15 minutes just to be sure its flashed
click volume up and then power button so that you can go back in the menu
click the volume button 3 times that is for the wipe cache
again 7 times down and power button
and then you must wipe dalvik
and that is volume up and power button to go into advanced
and then volume down 1 time and then power button and that is the wipe dalvik option
again 7 times volume down and then power button
wait 5 minutes
and then click power button it wil reboot your device
and bam you have official installed a rom without looking on CWM 6
i hope it helpt :highfive:

According to me i think so that your phone is not even rooted
so first of all Root your phone using Z4ROOT (i won,t be avalable in the market find it on google.
then from the market just find the Rom Manager and use option there to install recovery select p500 and it will install clockwork mod recovery 3.1.0.0
If you need to flsh AmronRa recovery just use the zip file provided by ciaox and flash it from clockwork itself

[Q] Wipe phone with smashed screen

I have smashed the screen on my S3, so I am putting on ebay to try and recoup something for it.
But u am unable to use the phone and need to some how wipe it, does anyone know how this would be possible?
Is your phone rooted and have CWM recovery?? If yes, start it in recovery and go to Factory Reset. To do it use volume button to scroll down (press it 2 times), now press power button and scroll up (press it 5 times) and finally press power button again. Job done.

cannot press power button in cwm

here's my problem,
my phone keeps on restarting whenever i reboot it.
ive tried full wipe, wipe partition and wipe dalvik cache.
ive also tried flashing custom rom via cwm and stock rom in odin which is I9100XWLS8_I9100FOPLS3_FOP
in cwm, power button isn't working..
when trying to choose a zip file, pressing power button
isn't working but touch function works well.
in odin just flashed stock rom this morning, but when it tries to boot, same problem occurs, it keeps on restarting..
i hope someone could help me ..
What you have, is a bootloop, which occurs when you don't do a full wipe before flashing a new rom..
And maybe the cwm you use doesn't support the clicking of the power button..

Maybe POWER button is faulty.Try to flash DorimanX Kernel.
i have manage to boot my phone,
turn on phone, while booting, i have to hard press the upper button of powermenu.
when it booted, i try to lock my phone (screen off) using powermenu and it wont work. powermenu option didnt showed up too..
but when i tried to screen off using the icon in dropdown toggle, it works fine.
yesterday after work i went to a technician, he said nothings wrong with it, and the only problem is the program.
but i already flashed it in stock rom and custom roms, i did full wiping to flash a clean rom.
this morning, i was thinking that the problem was the efs folder, but when i look into the efs folder in root system there it was.
i hope someone will help me..
When in recovery try the menu button.

in recovery all keys are working except for the powerbutton .
And what happens when you select an action and press home?
Siyah v6 works that way.

pressing home button works fine too.. the only problem is the power button key, ive tried a keytest and it dont really work.
Does it work as normal. If you push power will it turn screen of and on? You could use twrp as It dont use buttons edit: I read power button dont work at all?? Go to a better tec.
Also that efs bit is lock screen not power button. If it was gone it would still turn screen on and off and work just no lock screen:thumbup:

[Q] Phone reset

Hi guys,
I forgot the pin-code to my Galaxy S2, not to the sim, to the phone.
I can't go into recovery mode or download mode, due to a broken home-button.
Is there any way I can like hack the pin, or reset the phone without having to use my home button?
Maybe by using my pc or something?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Man I thought it was impossible to get into download mode but you got me there!
Unfortunately I do not see the "Clear Storage" option.
The volume down button gets me into a reboot.
Volume up gets me to downloading.
Is there any way I can get into recovery? Or download something to the phone that resets it?
And eh, multitasking, that is kind of hard with no home button.
The back button gets some more use since the home button has died haha

If you want to get yourself into recovery mode try something simpler
A cwm manager app
It has the option boot into recovery

Problem is, I cannot acces my phone so I can't install apps
I'm thinking about flashing another rom, only I can't wipe cache and factory reset before doing that.
What are the risks of that? And is there a big chance of this going wrong?

Mate, if you can enter download mode then use odin to flash
I am not sure you can enter recovery mode without home button though you can with a jig
But haven't tried it
Search xda it if you have a jig

Thanks, flashing right now.
Had flashed a few hours ago, but still got asked for the pin.
Though then I had to register the phone (name, language, that stuff) and after that I was in the phone, and did not have to enter the pin.
Doing that again right now, hoping to get to settings and then get to factory reset
Thanks for your help so far.
Then another question popped up:
To get another kernel I need recovery mode right?
And to get rooted I need a rooted kernel?
So can I root my device without home button and without recovery menu?

[Q] Installing Custom ROm on Unbranded phone

Hi ,
i got a phone which is similar to Note 2 but it is not.i want to completely wipe out and install the custom rom on this.
it has got only 2 gb internal storage
after bit of googling i copied cynogenmod 10.1 of Note 2 and Gapps on the internal storage of phone then i tried to do get into boot mode of the phone where it shows me 3 options recovery, fastboot and normal boot. when i select normal boot phone starts normally, when i choose fastboot it does nothing and on recover it takes me
android system recovery 3e
it give me few options
reebot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from SD card
apply update from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
backup user data
restore user data
when i select any options it does nothing and comes with red warning triangle with android icon and the it goes back if i press home button
being a absolutely new i dont have any clue
can someone help me or point into right direction
for installing custom rom on unbranded phone? i have found many links for various branded models of the phone but not for chines s or unbranded
i am sure currently it has 4.1.1
can someone provide me the step by step guidence to install the tools and get the custom rom?
your help will appreciated
Thanks in advance
.
In 3e, the select button is usually the home button, and the back button is usually the power button. It could also be the other way round.
Have you tried that?

If your device happens to have the same keylayout as my other unbranded S4 clone, the keys are
Vol Up - Select
Vol Down - Scroll Down
Home - none
Back - none
Menu - none
Power - some kind of screen lock that doesn't let you push any buttons unless you press Power again
But since you mentioned something about the home button, probably it'll be
Vol Up - Select
Vol Down - Scroll Down
Home - some kind of screen lock that doesn't let you push any buttons unless you press Homeagain
Back - ?
Menu - ?
Power - ?
As you can see, there is no key for Scroll Up as far as I know.
Let me know if the keys above work.
