Hi, i wanna ask a few questions about my old phone. It was working and i had dropped it. in that minute a car just went over it. It was touchable but display is very messed. I had saw the main screen and i could touch it. After that i just removed my sim and tried to restart phone but it never did restart. i could enter the twrp and take all my files to pc. after some time it's screen went black. Now i can enter to download mode, i can confirm that but nothing more because of black screen.
And my question;
1. How can i be sure if i change the screen it will work again?
2. I don't want to buy a screen, is there way to use it without a screen? ( with a monitor, tv etc.). i can use a mouse and keyboard with otg but how to transfer display to another device? ( new screen costs too much ) ( i know mhl not supported)
3. is there another phone which is cheaper and screen fits to s6 edge connector?
4. Any other ideas?

Edit: Solved! See post #3 for information on how I solved this.
Long story short I got an AT&T Atrix from a friend with an Atrix Lapdock. I'm not 100% sure of the details but he had opened the Atrix (to replace the digitizer I think) and messed up the screen to where the backlight turns on but it's always black. The digitizer still works. He wanted me to factory restore the Atrix so I did so via the Lapdock by going into settings and selecting factory restore. After it booted up again it did not boot into Webtop mode. Well great, now I'm running the phone blind.
I think I was at the "Emergency calls only" screen since clicking the bottom of the screen above the soft buttons, then towards the top, played dialtones, so I got a SIM card (out of my Sprint Touch Pro 2, just for the sake of having any SIM card in it) and rebooted with the SIM in it. I'm at a different screen now, where I can make the motor buzz by tapping the soft buttons, and if I hold the Menu (4 squares icon, leftmost soft button) it pulls up a keyboard. I believe this is the Motoblur setup screen. As stupid as it may sound, I tried entering the "123/alt/abc/e/123/alt/abc/e/b/l/u/r/o/f/f" command by eyeballing the screen, but I don't think I deactivated it since it seemed like I could still interact with this screen the same way. I tried pressing (what I felt was) 123/alt/abc on the phone, and using the Lapdock to input the letters, but that didn't seem to do anything either.
ADB is definitely not enabled, I can launch fastboot (or any of the fastboot options, such as "Fastboot" "NVFlash" "BP HW Bypass..." etc, I wrote these down and just blindly input however many Down presses to activate it).
My next plan is to print off a screenshot of the Atrix keyboard to-scale with the screen and use that as a guide to input the "bluroff" command, hopefully doing that will get the phone into a state where it can activate Webtop.
Strangely, while I was in the presumed Emergency Calls mode without a SIM, either me spazzing out on the screen or some weird luck got the Entertainment Center to appear. However I could not navigate it at all using the Lapdock, not through arrow keys or using the mouse. I've never gotten that to happen again.
If this is a failure, my main purpose in getting these from him was to use the Lapdock as a small and luggable HDMI monitor (via adapters) so I'm not too disappointed, but it would be nice to have the Atrix working as much as it did prior to factory-restoring it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
wow....thats something.......you still int blur account setting (it uppen when you use a different sim card)....
try to wipe in fastboot
load new rom image that can skip motoblur account set up (like nottach)
when reboots click menu and then right corner down (skip set up) then it should be able to go in webtop mode..
hope it works

Posting to say this worked fine! I used Photoshop to print a screenshot 1.961" wide, carefully cut it out, taped it to the front, called up the keyboard (longpress the menu button, you'll feel it buzz long then very short), and carefully tapped out the Motoblur override. Took a few tries since you can't see what you're tapping (go slowly and use the tip of your finger) and the paper in the way makes it less sensitive. The phone doesn't buzz or anything when it does this, but if you put it on the Lapdock you'll see the swirly small red Motorola M icon signifying Webtop is loading, instead of the big red Motorola M icon that jumps around now and then. Also I had set the language to Spanish during my blind mashing, luckily I'm familiar enough with it to where I could change the language to English easily.
You can activate Motoblur through Webtop after you bypass the initial setup, I'm doing that right now.
htchd2fix I was considering loading up a ROM and seeing if that gave me more luck, but I wasn't sure how they handle Blur and all that, but anyway thanks for your step by step
I've attached the screenshot I used of the stock Atrix keyboard, and a Photoshop PSD I made that I used for printing, scaled to (more or less) the Atrix's width, cleaned up a bit, and with a black 1px border to assist in cutting. To whoever made the original screenshot (you're probably on XDA), thank you!
I'm leaving the screenshot taped to the Atrix for now so I can brag about its e-paper display
Hi
Yesterday, I broke my samsung galaxy s3 screen.
Now all i get is a black screen, and the touch screen no longer works. And with no way to access anything that is on the internal memory on my phone.
When I plug my phone, I usually have to bring down the menu bar, and click the mount option. However, as the phones touch screen doesnt work, and the screen is just black, I dont know how to back up my data.
Does anyone know if there is anyway of backing up my phone?
Thanks
Get a new screen? all the files will still be there
Dear friends, see this, see in the youtube:
watch?v=ixWozCI8sek
I activated the phone in their own settings of android to show screen touches and strokes that you can see in the video above, and installed YAMTT app to better show the problem.
The Problem on mobile touch in the middle of the screen there is a track that is not recognized touch, but if I press the screen sinking, she returns to work temporarily, and now recognizes the touch - but after a few minutes the problem back and touch is not recognized again.
The screen is perhaps dished up, and when I press down her back to be in contact with the part of the cell that recognizes the touch, but with time the screen should be getting back dished up (this is my guess, not i'm sure).
Detail, not always when I press is running, sometimes I press the screen to the center of the touch again be recognized, but it seems that the phone is registering touches alone.
What would be a solution, and change the screen (it does not mean that changing the screen the problem solved), want to try other alternatives before changing the screen.
Perhaps heating up the screen with hot air, in theory it will expand and become more pliable, and then if I press down the center panel of the phone with something for a while until it cools, in theory the screen would remain indefinitely, and if that is the problem could solve -
Anyone have any thoughts, has been there?
Thanks in advanced!
Hi everyone !
I face a strange problem,
Last day, my nose started bleeding and a drop of blood has fallen on the lowest speaker. I washed it under clear water to get it off. (Since it's waterproof it shall not create any problems...)
Since this event, the sony style cover mode keep thinking that i'm opening and closing the smart cover.
Firstly, the screen was going on and off by itself, I wans't understanding what's happening since in recovery mode all is working fine.
Later, a pop up showed on my screen asking me to give permissions to smart cover app. I denied since I don't use it.
Luckily I have a smart cover that I don't use (it's not handy when fully opened so I stopped using it, it cannot be because of this since I flashed a lot of differents firmware since this day)
I paired the cover with the phone when the screen was on for enough time. It does had worked and instead of shutting down the screen, displayed the smart cover screen lock (A small square in the center of the screen, fitting with the window)
To avoid this, I deleted the smart cover app folder and datas using recovery, rebooted, miracle ! No more little square screen !
But... Even if the screen is as it should be, touchsceen is not working on the non window areas (it does work only in the square of the window. So I can't use touchscreen outside of this area.
I tried to delete all things I found related to "touchblock" in system and data but it does not worked...
I can do every actions on my phone using Adb with wifi or not, control on the screen using a mouse with otg or using wifi with teamviewer, or using recovery to do everything system side !
If someone is able to help me finding a solution let me know i'll be very grateful !
Thanks for reading (And sorry if i made mistakes in my explainations, English is not my first language )
Hello there !
A friend of my wife broke the screen of her S9+ and asked me if I can extract the photos.
The phone does work fine, but the screen and the digitizer are dead.
I'm trying to use the MHL capability (usb c to hdmi + USB to connect a keyboard or mouse) to get access to the phone, but I'm stuck to unlock the screen. I was told that's a pattern lock (I know the pattern) but I can't display it on the external screen, and I can only draw it using a mouse on a black screen... Almost impossible !
Is there a way to bypass the pattern lock to get the pin code, or something to draw the pattern, or a way to show the lock screen on an external screen ? I tested on my own OnePlus 9 Pro, it doesn't display the lock screen neither.
I didn't try recovery, and adb looks disabled...
Thanks for ideas
Thats strange because when I use my (official) DeX dock, I can see my lock screen on the second display and use a keyboard or mouse to unlock a pattern, pin or password. I'm also confused because you say its not displaying on the second screen so how do you know your on the lock screen? Unfortunately, adb won't work until you unlock the phone as you will need to enable developer options and also accept the "fingerprint" before adb connects. Recovery is useless to you if you intend on recovering photos and the whole point of a lock screen is not to be bypassed. Obviously, there are ways because law enforcement can do it but your unlikely to have the equipment or exploits or skills to go down that route.
Thanks for the feedback !
In fact, the Galaxy acts just like my own phone on th external screen : I have a black screen with the date/clock moving around and a padlock. When I test on my phone (that's a biometric finger), I just have to hit the spacebar, it turns my phone screen on (the external screen keeps the same black display), and from my external keyboard, I can type my password, I hit enter, and unlocked.
Here, I am trying the same (I have a password code) but no luck, I'm just stuck on the lock screen. Pretty difficult as I can't monitor what's happening on the Galaxy's screen while I'm trying this. It does react correctly when I hit a key (it does wake up the Galaxy).
As expected, the MHL is not supported in firmware mode (I have lots of troubles going to recovery, I think the volume button was a bit shot too) so I can't see on the screen what I do in it...
That's very frustating as I'm stuck for this pattern.
Is it possible to get a screenshot of the S9+ lock screen, or to see what happens at fresh boot when using a keyboard ? The idea is to make sure I can access the password code screen, or if I can navigate to it with the arrows or a key... If I can access the password screen, I think it will do it (If the password is correct of course...)
Thanks
Use samsung find my device to erase your lockscreen password/pattern. Dex will then automatically launch upon connecting usb c to HDMI adapter depending on your settings. I had done this once before. Worked flawlessly. I eventually replaced the screen though.
Thanks, I'll try this but I don't know if it's enabled. I noted this method, but I was a bit scared to delete the content, as the goal is just to recover her photos. I haven't done anything else on it so far, and I'd like not to change the screen as the part is very expensive and the replacement looks... Erm... crappy ?
Back ! No luck, still waiting to know if there's a Samsung account enabled. I tried again today, no luck. But it looks I'm not passing the "lock" screen (the one with the wallpaper and the date/time). The spacebar may not unlock the device ? I've been trying with a mouse, but I think I'm stuck on that screen and I can't even access the pattern screen.
Maybe trying to find an official Dex dock. Many Chinese version of "usb c to hdmi + USB" won't work well.
