Greetings,
My cell phone display died today. I have been looking for a way to project my phone screen on my PC and access the phone from that, but have fount nothing like this.
Is there a way to do that? Please notice that the screen is broken, shows only a few stripes of color and the touch dont work.
Thanks in advance!

I don't think so, i know few apps but they require few taps on a screen.... Im not even sure even if you connect, you see normal screen... i tried almost same thing with my laptop and external monitor, when they both show same desktop, and if i set main monitor, i turn it off manually and same happens to my screen on the laptop... its almost same thing with your phone...

My Vibrant fell this morning face down flat on the screen, I picked it up and was happy to see that the gorilla screen was perfect, not a scratch on it, but that turned to disappointment when I went to turn on the phone and saw a purple hue across my screen, but things were still visible but barely.
About 30 mins later, the screen is now not visible at all except for a small line near the bottom that is very bright (almost seems like the entire image of the screen is squished into this thin line).
Here is the problem. I need some of the stuff that is on my phone but have a pattern lock-screen on it and I cannot see the screen to put the pattern in, I have tried numerous times and get nothing. I was thinking if I can get it hooked up to a PC I can copy everything off. Is there some other way to maybe boot the phone in a mode to connect to a PC?
Other alternative is to buy just a screen and replace it with my broken one. Does anyone know where I can buy just a screen? I don't want to spend too much because I am a couple weeks away from getting the new Galaxy S II when it releases on T-Mobile Oct. 12th, I don't care to completely fix this Vibrant, I just want my data/apps off of it.
Thanks for any help.

I just need instructions on how to boot into ADB mode without being able to see the screen at all. Can someone please help?
Thanks!
Assuming your phone is rooted and have USB debugging enabled you can always try using "Droid Explorer" for windows. Within this program you can copy files without having to mount your sd card...you just need to have USB debugging enabled though otherwise it will not work. You can also access an emulator within this program called android screencast which will basically emulate your phone allowing you to navigate through your phone with ease. Your best option will be to download this Droid Explorer program for windows or you can also try adb but I don't know the commands so sorry.
Yesterday I dropped my Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 softly on the floor, but immediately I noticed that there was a problem with the screen: the glass was not broken, but colours were abnormally green, with a horizontal white line at the top of the screen, and a little circular dead zone in the upper left corner. I could still use it. But a few hours later, the light intensity of the screen had progressively and drastically decreased, and the phone could no longer be used. Today, the screen is totally black…
All data was saved on the external card, and I thought that Gmail synchronization would have saved my agenda. So initially, it did not seem like a too big problem, except for the cost of screen replacement, but when I realized that my calendar synchronization had not been not properly configured, the problem suddenly became more serious! My main problem is now data, not screen!
When the phone is on, and connected to my PC via an USB cable, I can only access two folders on the phone: “Card” and “Phone” (the external card is still in the phone). I have the original ROM, the phone is not rooted.
Do you think that my calendar data is there somewhere? I don’t know where to find it.
I’m afraid that all data will be lost if I send back my phone to the reseller's after sales service.
Alternatively, is there a mean, with an HDMI adapter and an external screen, to use the phone anyway: only the display does not work, the rest of the phone seems OK. The touch screen still worked fine yesterday, when I could still see something. Will I see anything on the TV when touching the phone screen? It would be wonderful if I could just reconfigure my synchronization, in spite of that black screen, and thus recover my agenda data via my Gmail account, before sending the phone to the after sales service.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Search exact same question been asked before and i believe a workaround was found .

You can use ADB to make a backup of all your apps + data. However USB Debugging must be enabled for this to work. Is it enabled on your device?
If yes, there are a lot of guides on how to backup your phone`s content such as Apps + Data.
One such guide is this: http://www.thesuperusersguide.com/adb-backup--restore.html
No, I had not activated "ADB debugging" and without screen, it seems a little bit difficult to do it now, thus precluding "ADB" use. That's why I was wondering if there was a possibility to use the phone with an external screen via a MHL-HDMI adapter, assuming the touch screen still works… Any idea?
yes, just do that. you can also access adb from recovery without having to enable anything
I am now pretty sure that touch screen is OK. Even if I don't see anything, swiping the screen to unlock it produces the usual sound. So I won’t do anything until I get a MHL HDMI adapter. I think it is the simplest way, if that works… I keep you informed in a few days. Many thanks
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?

True, but the phone won't show on the tv :-/
While I was on vacation my I had a bit of an accident with my s3 and now the screen is not functioning anymore. When I connect it to my pc it shows up, but when I click on my device there appears to be nothing in my phone. What I want to do it transfer everything from my s3 to my pc. I will provide a screenshot and a pic of what my phone looks like if that will help. The first pic is the phone, second is how it appears on my pc, and third is how it looks when I click on it.

Hello, I just came back from the store where I bought my S6 edge (925l) and while i was transfering some stuff to my phone it crashed and stopped working. I mean, i tried to reset, download mode, etc etc screen is COMPLETLY black. Doesn't show up anything but its still responsive to touch, i can unblock and increase volume but screen doesn't work at all. Any ideias?
PS: while i was using it, sometimes app crashed and freezed. Then i suddently turned off the screen and boom. Don't work anymore.
PS2: even when i access Download / recovery, it doesn't show up anything.
Damn, such a expensive phone like this... Its sad.
You can't exchange it?
I had a faulty usb cable that gave some thing simular it turned off the brightness and the auto brightness switch . I found if I went in to a shop or home I could see the screen enough to unlock the phone and turn the brightness back on. I have marked my dud cable since ?
