I dropped my phone and touchscreen went dead. It still worked but wasn't registering touch input.
Bought a new screen and replaced it, screen works but still doesn't react in any way.
The otg adapter for some reason doesn't work although it works on my other phone.
Thinking the rom has a otg switch I booted into twrp hoping it would work but unfortunately not.
Did a pc format since i last used adb so even if debugging is enabled on the phone pc isn't authorized and adb devices returns back empty
Data recovery programs don't pick up the usb connection with the phone (also if i plug my phone into the pc it charges, it doesn't mount any storage and device manager doesn't show anything particular connected)
Any ideas if and how i can recover my data?

Hi!
I had my device connected to PC in SD transfer mode to load a file at the SD card and restarted the device afterwards to reboot in recovery mode. Unfortunately I forgot to set it back to normal USB connect before restarting and restarted it, still connected to the PC in transfer mode. Since that, my device won't boot at all. Neither to OS, nor in recovery mode. It seems to be stuck at the data transfer mode. My pc recognizes something plugging in (USB connection sound) but i can't access it. Even fastboot doesn't recognize any attached devices.
Before that it worked fine several weeks, problems with a failed flashing or OS-problems are unlikely. I also tried another phone battery to make sure, it's not just the power supply.
Is there a simple way to fix it? I have no problem to lose all data (since it's just a testing device with nothing on it) but without access to the device i don't know what to do.
Device Information:
rooted HTC Sensation with CM 13 (customized for HTC Sensation) with TWRP recovery.
Hello,
recently my bluboo xtouch (android 5.0.1) got its display broken and so i cna't see anything on screen, so to get access again to it i wanted to use [email protected] but my device isn't recognized by adb.
the touch on the phone still works but i don't know how well, the phone is still working as it is receiving messages and phone call, i managed to get the phone connected to the same network of my pc.
Now, usb debugging should be on as i never turned it off (is there a way of testing if it is enabled?), the phone is set to PTP as windows recognize it as a camera and i can access the phone but only the folders called
DCIM and Pictures. Under device manager it shows up as a portable device. The problem is that it won't show up in adb, i tried a lot of solution but nothing worked (the adb_usb.ini is set to the right VID, i got the drivers for my phone installed, i got 2 version of adb (one sohuld be 32 another 36) one from a freshly new install of android studio and another that i think is the universal one).
IT DOES SHOW UP IF I PUT IT IN (VOL+)+(POWER) MODE
Now i have no clues of to get it working i thought that, if the problem is the PTP mode i would need screenshots of the ui so i can change the mode without seeing the real screen, but the rom that is used by my device
is not that popular.
Anyone has any idea on how to show it under adb devices?
Thanks in advance

i managed to reach the "select type of connection" and i've tried charge mode (doesn't work), old for xp (it shows up as a cd rom), and now i'm trying with MTP but i got problem with drivers
NEWS II
i managed to connect the phone in mtp and to copy all the files i needed to the pc, but still i'd like to get [email protected] working, i can swap between connection mode (mtp, ptp, charge) and i can unlock the phone (cause it's fingerprint locked). My new problem is: how do i backup all of my contacts?
Hello,
I'm the owner of a galaxy A5 2016 (a510f), and I've been recently messing with custom roms (as we all do here). And yesterday I added several files to my phone using my pc, and as I was flashing a rom, this one failed.
No problem, just get back to TWRP and transfer from my pc my recent Backup, but no! My phone just won't connect to the pc, but still charges... tried transfer the backup using OTG with an USB stick, my phone still doesn't recognize
any USB connection. Tried reseting TWRP and check if MTP was enabled and it was, but still same issue. I was forced to recover an old backup I had on my phone for quiet a long time. But maybe it would work if I tried to transfer once
booted in android... Nope still not working, despite having USB debugging and MTP enabled. You have to admit this is very strange that I cannot even connect it via TWRP or download mode...
I'm really starting to suspect a Hardware issue... but that was so sudden... I also tried several USB cable, still not working but still charging.
I really need help, this is really annoying, I can't transfer anything using USB cable now, and can only use wireless transfer.
I'm not sure if it was the recent windows update(1803) or if my phone is ****ed.
I've tried every USB port, the original cable that came with my phone, the cable that came with my HTC 10, and 2 other cables I had lying around. I also tried factory resetting my phone. None of this worked.
I've tried a few combinations of uninstalling and reinstalling the USB drivers.
I don't have another computer I can use to test with.
Same problem here, can t connect my phone to pc anymore. It worked when i both the phone for 1 week or so and now... nothing. The sound when you connect the cable to the laptop is gone and also the allow and / deny notification you get on your phone.
In downloading mode odin sees the phone and the laptop is makeing the sound.
Whenever you connected your device to the computer, was the USB computer connection on Media Device (MTP)? If it's not on MTP then the computer may not recognize the phone at all.
I have same problem with my S9+ .. I try to install some update to Windows 10 (MTP Drivers) and nothing...
In dawnload mode, also ...don't recognize
This may or may not help, is Bixby updated and configured? I never used Bixby, I turned it off and used Nova Launcher and could not connect to the PC no matter what I tried so..... I turned off Nova Launcher, re allowed Bixby, went through the many configuration nonsense and the phone now connects to the PC. When I plug in the cable the phone shows up as another disk drive and if I click on it, I get internal memory and SD Card and can read or write to either. I've no idea why but apparently Bixby is needed to connect the phone to the PC?
I re activated Nova Launcher and it still works so give it a try.
NOTE: Bixby must be allowed to update first.
Hope this helps at least one of you?
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.
Boot to recovery and connect your phone to PC

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.
