HUAWEI P9 Lite - deep **** problem - any way to recover data? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys, sorry in advance if this question is kind of a duplicate, but really I spent hours here to find some solution.
I am affraid I am in a deep ****, but I need your confirmation, 'cause you are the experts.
Will make it quick and simple.
Model: Huawei P9 lite 2016
Physical Status: damaged black display, not reacting. New display(s) not working at all. Buttons are fine.
Logical status: USB debugging and other stuff is OFF, OTG is even maybe not supported. I was using HiSuite only and I had to everytime manually confirm that I want e.g. FileTrasfer. Noq I can start up the phone (even log in I think thanks to FingerPrint) and HiSuite partition appears (but not the one with data of course).
What I already tried: I installed ADB and FASTBOOT to my PC. I am able to see my phone in FASTBOOT mode only. I am starting the phone with VOL- and insterting USB cable. However due to all the functions like USB debug off, I am not able to finish any task to unlock anyting or to load another image etc. All is forbidden. When running ADB.EXE, no device is found, no matter in which mode I boot up the phone.
Again, I think this is because of disabled USB debugging mode and I have no chance to change it using standard GUI.
Any hint or am I really done?
Thanks a lot.

Access phone with broken screen and touchscreen

Hi all,
I wonder if somebody could help me.
At the moment I have a Z5 compact with a broken screen (totally black) and touch. I know it still can boot, because it responds to my fingerprint when booted up. However, it does respond to my finger, but still needs a patern on first boot, which I cannot do on account of the broken touch screen. Also, my computer detects the phone.
I want to access my data, but for that I would have to use the onscreen menu which pops up when I connect the phone with usb. That's impossible.
I looked around on the internet and it is possible to remotely control the screen or access via adb. However, for that I either need to install some app on the phone, enable usb-debugging or authorise access via adb. All of those are impossible.
My phone has un unlocked bootloader and is rooted, so as a last resort I've tried to flash a modified kernel to enable usb debugging by default. This fails. Probably because I make some mistake in modifying the kernel, but I don't know. There's not a lot of response from my phone, as you understand ... Besides, I've absolutely no experience modding myself.
Anybody any idea, please?
So I just fixed the same issue you're having this week. It required opening up the phone.
Basically the ribbon cable that connects the screen to the motherboard had become unseated and needed to be plugged back in for me.
The Z5C isn't the easiest phone to take apart but it's not that difficult either. Just requires some basic tools (Hair dryer, tweezers and some precision screw drivers). There's a bunch of videos showing you how on ifixit or youtube. You just have to go all the way to the part where they flip over the motherboard and unplug the two ribbon cables, one of those two will be the culprit.
This is the first and only phone I've taken apart so any amateur can do this.

Yes, actually I've had problems with a broken backlight before and opening the phone and re-adjusting the cable solved that. Not in this case however. Thanks for your suggestion, anyways.

Would recovery provide me with some way to enter my pattern via a PC, e.g. with ADB?
Actually, I'm not sure I had any recovery installed at all. I've tried this before and just tried it again. I press the on/off-button while holding volume down. After that no response whatsoever. My computer does not see any device when connected. I suppose my recovery does not work properly, but without screen I can't be certain.
mlleemiles, you are a _hero_!
After reading your post I decided to try flashing another recovery to try if that might work. Now I can access my files without ever having entered any pattern .
Nevermind that it turns out my files weren't encrypted and I thought they were.
If anyone has a similar problem in the future, this is what worked for me:
My exact situation:
- My phone runs a stock rom (downloaded from XperiCheck) with version 32.4.A.1.54. When my phone was still running ok I had the bootloader unlocked and my device rooted with Rootkernel.
Working solution:
- I downloaded Twrp, version 3.2.1, from this page:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/development/twrp-twrp-3-2-1-z5-compact-t3748952
- Shut down my phone by disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it again
- Started my phone in fastboot mode and flashed recovery to my phone with:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_suzuran_220218_2.img
- Booted my phone in recovery with volume down + on/off-button.
- Connected my phone to my PC, et voila.
Turns out I can also access my phone with ADB as root, so after backing up the entire internal memory, I might try to get some remote screen tool working.
So thanks for the help and if I find something interesting and new, I'll post that too.
Small update:
After successfully flashing Twrp I backed up the internal memory, so must of the important stuff was safe by then.
However, it turned out that my phone now wouldn't boot into anything other then Twrp. I decided to flash my rom again. First I installed my apb keys using Twrp:
Code:
adb push adbkey.pub /data/misc/adb/adb_keys
It turned out I already had usb debugging enabled.
I then flashed my original firmware again, and connected with adb. This time it connected correctly, without me having to click any dialogue on my phone. I fiddled with several remote control Android tools most of which didn't work. Finally, it turned out Vysor does exactly what I want to do. It is a bit unstable, but workable.
Anyways, I've finally managed to copy all the stuff I wanted from my phone.

help with unlocking.

okay so, i just got this phone. did all updates, enabled bootloader unlocking and made my mi account, downloaded the mi unlock tool and everything.
heres where the problem comes in.
everytime i try the button combination to get into fastboot, it works. but then when i connect my phone to my computer, the fastboot splash screen turns black with little text at the top saying "press any button to shutdown" or something like that. it just wont stay on the fastboot screen, its like its exiting fastboot mode on its own.
why does it do this, and what can i do to fix it?
note: i have downloaded all drivers and software to get this to work, and nothing seems to be coming to light.
please help me, i am very confused.
update: actually, it seems to be fine before i open the mi unlock tool. it seems that when mi unlock tool is not open, it stays in fastboot mode, but as soon as i open mi unlock tool, it just kicks me out of fastboot mode, and goes to a black screen with something at the top saying the exact same thing i mentioned earlier.
Turn on the phone go into developer settings and enable usb debugging, im pretty sure that's it

i already have enabled usb debugging. but for some reason, it won't just stay in fastboot mode.
was thinking about calling xiaomi and seeing what they have to say. because i cant find anything on this matter, so its probably just something im doing wrong. though it may be my version of windows. i have Windows 8.1. so maybe thats the deal?
this is stressful lol
If I'm not mistaken, you should only connect the phone in fastboot mode when the program asks, not before you open it

i know, i did that too. but the problem still persists... ill try some other time.
thanks for helping though
First off this is much better place to ask questions. When phone is running and you connect to pc can you access storage?
If not check drivers, try different usb cable, and try different usb ports.
If yes then can you access the phone via adb?
If not it is a pc issue probably drivers.
If so leave phone booted and connected then open unlock software. Once software is up and running go to terminal/command prompt and type "adb reboot bootloader" without quotes.
I don't think it is windows version but with Microsoft anything is possible. I still use windows 7 for all this stuff.
Had the same problem on my Desktop with Ryzen, i tried it on my laptop with Intel Celeron and it worked from the first try without any drivers installed. If you have AMD that might be the cause
Hello.
My personal experience says:
1 Install Drivers on the PC/Laptop.
2 Activate DEVELOPER OPTIONS
3 Accept O E M Unlock
4 Allow usb debugging
5 Shut down Wi-Fi and use only DATA in order to connect - verify the device to the Mi account you have. When connected, press "understood" or ""accept"" (however it pops up).
6 Connect the phone to the PC/Laptop
7 After being connected, shut down the phone and put it in FASTBOOT. Make sure your PC ""reads"" your phone. Do it through command line/power shell, and make sure it shows up as alphanumeric in command line (i hope you know what to type - e.g fastboot devices)
8 Download and use the mi unlock tool (preferable Versions 2.....). Connect through this tool to your Mi account
9 Ask for permission to unlock // unlock your phone if days-hrs have passed. Ignore any pop-up message/warning and go on.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:
A. The phone must be recognized from the PC as ADB INTERFACE (in device manager) both in normal and Fastboot modes. Any other case is waste of time.......
B. Use a good cable and have the mobile charged!
C. In case you have another (older) device connected to your account, disconnect-delete it or else you will end up stuck with a ""cannot unlock message""
D. The process will not work if your PC runs some Win 10 versions as well as if built with RHYZEN PROCESSOR. Prefer PCs running win 7 or 8.
E. You must have DATA connection available or else you will not be able to connect-verify the phone to/through your Mi account !!! it is a new (dual function) fail - safe procedure from xiaomi!!!
F. Make sure you have the correct drivers installed to avoid a brick - bootloop etc
Hope it helps!
Gathered from my own experience!
To summarize: The xiaomi imposes too much rodeo and much time spent of the user to just "try" to unlock a simple bootloader, better to change of apparatus and to be happy with the practicality. lol

broken screen: recover data/change usb settings/getting device recognised by adb (?)

Hi,
i broke the Display of my ZTE Axon 7 mini on stock ROM and without USB debugging enabled. No custom recovery or anything done to the device. The touch interface of the screen is at least partially functioning, i'm able to boot it, unlock it by guessing where to draw the pattern (i know bc the fingerprint sensor is working afterwards) and power off as well by clicking on the spot where the button should be. I've read some threats about tools to access your phone with broken screens, but nothing worked. Thing is, i think i set the usb-setting to "charge only" when connected to my pc. So the device won't be recognizedwith adb fastboot. Which means i cannot use the method described here for instance.
So does anybody know how i could change the settings or get at the data generally? I'd be really glad if someone could help.
cheerio

Remove lock or enable usb debugging on non-rooted phone (Read data inside a locked phone)?

So i forgot the PIN number on my old phone which was not rooted, had no recovery software (Cwm, Xrec, etc.) installed on it, and has usb debugging and auto-mount disabled. We don't know the google account associated with the phone. Basically all I have is the phone and a usb cable. Is there a way to get the user data out of it? Adb won't recognise the device btw. I do apologise if it's a stupid question. The phone automatically connected to the wifi, and I'm on Linux, if that helps. But I managed to get into recovery but adb only recognises the device in sideload mode. The files inside the phone is extremely important to me because it contain photo of my family member that were passed away.
Phone: Vivo V7 Plus
I wanted to try brute-force the PIN with program but unfortuntely the phone will cool down for 7000 second (3hours+)
A phone typically knows of 2 USB modes: ADB & MTP. If MTP mode was enabled and phone supports a USB-C connection then it should be possible to fetch the user-data you're interested in.

Hi, first of all thanks for your respond. In order to enable MTP i need to have the phone unlock right? how can i enable MTP if the phone is locked ?
All I know is that ADB is the door to any Android device and nothing than that.

Transpeed_H616

I own the TV BOX TRANSPEED_H616 (Allwinner H616, Arm Mali-G31 MP2, Android 10, 4/64 GB).
I would like to root but can't. I can't even connect the device to the PC.
When I connect it with the USB-OTG cable, in the device manager it shows "USB device unknown (device descriptor request failed)" and I cannot find the drivers. Can someone help me?
Thank you
i have same problem.
After several attempts I managed to enter recovery mode.
I would like to root the device now but I don't know how to do it.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you
Since no one can help me, I want to try to summarize everything I understand using this device. The first thing to do is to enable the developer option and then check USB DEBUG and USB0. At this point, by connecting the USB cable to the OTG input, the device is recognized by the PC as MPT. By opening the Phoenixsuite or Powershell application from the SDK folder you can send commands to the device, you can access the custom recovery and nothing more. Unfortunately, the bootloader cannot be unlocked, and the firmware cannot be changed either through the PC or even with SD. When entering Bootloader mode the PC loses connection with the device because it changes to an unknown device without drivers. Also with Powershell if you want to unlock the bootloader this is not possible because when you send the command "./fastboot flashing unlock" it returns the message "Failed". By inserting the SD card with the firmware and starting the device with a stick inserted in the AV input and the electrical AC connector, a red indicator lights up on the display and the flashing does not start. Clearly in these conditions it is impossible to think about rooting the device. I hope that in the light of what has been said, someone can give me some research ideas or useful advice. Finally I apologize for my English (from Google)
Hello, recently I bought a transpeed X88 pro s (from transpeed official) , h616, 4gb+128gb with android 10.
But it is a fake, it's a board with hacked firmware (dispute is open) , it only have 64gb ( chip Samsung Klmcg2ketm), it warm so much (more than 90°C) with faults on gpu (changing colors, slowly,...), only way to work is with open box or fan.
Anyway, I'm in the way to root and change firmware too.
It's rooted by default, with supersu 1.82 work well and permit restart to bootloader (with reset button was impossible).
I will inform about progress.
