I have a Tmobile Galaxy S5. The screen will not turn on but I believe the digitizer is working since it still vibrates when I enter try to swipe my pattern lock, wish I had left it as fingerprint locked. The phone is rooted and has CWM. ADB lists the device as offline when phone is booted up but if I boot into recovery ADB works but I couldn't find any way to command cwm to create a backup. I tried screencast with adb but the S5 must capture screen shots in a different way than screencast was designed for. I'd like to just create a CWM back up some how. I dont know if the digitizer is reading the touches in the right spot or not either since I havent been able to unlock the phone by attempting to swipe the lock pattern blindly. I was thinking maybe I'd buy an MHL/OTG adapter and hopefully be able to navigate the phone but they all seem to be hit or miss if a mouse will work while using HDMI and I cant find any info if MHL and OTG even work while in a recovery or not. Any info or ideas are greatly appreciated.
Incase anyone searches this, I have had no luck getting HDMI to transmit and use a mouse at the same time. Also the recovery will not transmit in recovery mode.

Sorry you havent got any response, but could you help me?
when you say " recovey will not transmit in recovery mode" do you mean that the mhl will not work when you enter recovery mode? i know it seems obvious but im about to try the same thing
thanks best regards

So I cracked my screen and its unresponsive to touch except a very small area in the bottom left corner of the phone...
I'm trying to sell the phone on ebay but i would like to wipe it first obviously cause it has alot of my info on it...but i cant seem to find a way to do that considering nothings responding
It is rooted...i cant get it to go to ethernet connection but i can get it to modem (using the small area of space that works and flipping landscape/portrait mode) and it seems that adb shell is connecting but none of the commands to wipe data arent working...is it cause its not in ethernet mode? (i seriously cant get to the ethernet button...its like 1 mm too far away)
ive tried (while in adb shell)
recovery --wipe_data
su wipe data
sudo su wipe data
when i do try "wipe data" it give me error message saying "permission denied"...
any thoughts/recommendations??
Thanks in advance!
It has otg, just use a cable and a mouse, then go into settings menu and there is an option under backup and reset(or something like that). Our you could hold down power and volume down while powering it up for factory reset. Going into download mode and kdz/lgnpst back to stock to hide the root is an idea also, power and volume up for that.

Hey folks,
I have some serios sh!t over here.... I have installed a new rom and accidentally deleted the launcher3.apk (because usually I use nova) but in that moment I didnt have nova launcher installed!!!! And the phone rebooted itself since that moment I just see the boot animation for example but nothing else.
It wouldnt be a problem at all if I could just enter recovery wipe and install it again, or restore a twrp nandroid backup BUUUUUUTT my home button doesnt work! And thats why I cant boot into recovery since I cant touch the 3 buttons. Last time I went through adb commands into recovery but now adb says liste of device and there is one BUT it is offline... So when I type a command it says Error: Device Offline!
Is there a way to fix it without putting money into it?? Or do i need another LCD so I can boot into recovery with a working home button?? That would be a real real bad thing
Thanks a lot for help

Okay, someone told me a hint! You can enter the download mode also, when you are holding volume down and then connecting the device to a charger. It worked well flashed with Odin FW etc. so no problem at all LOL! Maybe this information will help someone other. Please close the thread.

Hey,
I broke my Galaxy Alpha SM-G850F's screen and am trying to recover the data from it. I've tried going into recovery mode for adb to work but so far it hasnt worked. I've also tried going into downloading mode for some kind of recognition from my computer, but It wont show my phone anywhere. If I plug the phone in when its booted normally it starts charging but I cant see it through my computer or device manager. Any suggestions?
Regards, KappeK

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
