I have a water damaged samsung galaxy a21s that i have to recover data from, but the screen is black and unresposive. After connecting it to pc, it shows up but empty. USB debbuging is disabled and i have no way of enabling it. I tried rebooting it to recovery mode but the power button doesnt work when connected to PC, but when disconnected it works, but once.

Help!
Ive got a samsung galaxy s2 - originally it was on the UK Orange network, but since then I have flashed it with a different European firmware (unsure which one).
The screen has cracked therefore I can not use the touch screen at all.
I can not see anything on the screen except the battery level.
I need to take the data off it (pictures, vdeos etc.) which are stored on the phones internal memory.
When I connect it to my windows xp PC, it comes up in My Computer but when I try opening it it shows nothing.
I think this is because I need to unlock the screen (4 digit pin).
When I connect it to Kies, it says I need to enter the screen unlock code - But I can not due to the screen being cracked.
Only the hardware buttons work.
Is there a way I can connect the phone to my PC and get the data off?
I need somesort of app that will allow me to mimic/display the phone screen on my PC so that I can enter this screen unlock code to get into the phone.
Or can I do a refresh (restore factory setting/clear operating system) at boot up so that when it does eventually boot up into the welcome/set up screens, I can connect it to my PC to transfer the data off?
Can someone please help?
maybe you could connect mass storage in CWM ? assuming that you have CWM.

please mention as to wat rom are u on
and also if u r rooted nd stuff
If your rooted boot into recovery..
Usually press power and volume down button
Select recovery from menu, Goto mounts n storage and toggle USB connection.. (use volume keys to navigate and power button to select)
Make sure sdcard setting is set to mounted.. I think sdcard is actually set for the internal storage on these phones.. and the actual SD card is set as external storage..

ADB is the only way
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
you can send me to a private message, I can show you how to install a vnc server, perhaps from the pc side, assume you have debug enabled your phone. Then you should be able to view and control your phone.
I have a rooted i777 with SHOstock rom, I haven't updated the rom for a few months so I'm not sure which version it is.
The phone was working yesterday and it suddenly got stuck so I tried to reboot it (had to take out the battery because the power button didn't respond) but now each time I try to turn it on it is stuck on a black screen with the logo "Samsung Galaxy SII" and won't progress.
I tried to boot to recovery but it shows a screen saying "CWM-based Recovery v6.0.2.7" but it doesn't go pass the screen to show the recovery menu (it just reboots after being stuck on this screen for about a minute).
I tried to boot to download mode and succeeded, but every time I connect the device to my pc, the pc doesn't recognize it
(I tried re-installing kies, but it didn't help and probably the problem is not with the pc drivers because if I connect my wife's unrooted i777 to the pc it does recognize it).
so now I don't have clue what else to try.
any advice will be appreciated.
Make sure you have Odin v1.85 on your Windows PC. Look in the Windows Add/Remove programs dialog (or Uninstall a Program dialog) to see if you have SAMSUNG USB driver for mobile phones.
Open Odin on the desktop. Next put the phone into download mode by holding down vol + and vol - while plugging in the USB cable.
If Odin recognizes your phone, flash back to stock. I would recommend UCMD8 stock firmware, which you can get from the Download Repository.
don't know what happened to it but now it doesn't even turn on.
it's stopped turning on before I had a chance to try what you suggested.
now even if I connect it to the charger it doesn't show the charging status.
is there any other "force something" I can try?

Remove the battery and leave it out. Connect the USB cable to your PC. While holding down the vol- button (also try it with both vol- and vol+) but not the power button, plug the USB cable into the phone. The computer will provide the power. If this works, your phone will go into download mode. If not... you have very likely had some kind of hardware failure.
unfortunately it didn't work.
can't get it to download mode.
I'll try to leave the battery out for a longer time and try again.
should I try ordering a JTAG usb and see if it puts it in download mode or
probably my only option is to send it to mobiletechvideos?
I had the same problem, Your battery got too low. Pull your battery and leave it out for a while 15 mins or so. Put the battery back in and connect charger. Let the battery charge for a while without trying to turn on phone. The phone will not turn on with a dead battery even if it is connected to charger.
I just solved a problem that I didn't find any help with, so I thought I would post it here in case somebody else needs help out of this situation, and this is a recent and related thread.
After I pulled the battery of my i777 to test in another phone, without remembering to power my phone off first, it would only hang at the Samsung boot logo (stock UCMD8 ROM, rooted, stock recovery). Normally the Samsung boot screen shows for only about five seconds. Pulling the battery wouldn't get it to boot right. Holding Power to force a reboot didn't solve it. After clearing the cache it would move to the AT&T Rethink Possible screen once, then reboot and then again get hung on the Samsung logo screen. Also my battery was heating up a lot as it was hung.
I could get into both download mode and recovery. I tried reflashing my ROM from the stock file in ODIN since that would save all of my data IF it worked. This still didn't get it to boot past the first logo. Finally doing a factory reset on stock recovery is what solved my problem. I had to re-add my account and reload apps from scratch, etc.
I have a samsung galaxy s3 i9300! While i was sleeping, i was charging my phone and when i woke up the phone was stuck at the initial logo screen of samsung! Then, i tried to press the home bottom power and volume up bottom to reset while it was doing that it went back again to the logo screen before being able to choose wipe cache and stuff! I tried it several times! Then as i was searching through net i saw that odin thing custom Rom and i thought that maybe i should give it a try! So i tried to installed it by connecting my phone to the laptop but my pc did not identify my phone! Then I tried again by connecting and disconnecting the pc with my phone and while doing so i pushed the button of Repartition at Odin. My phone was not identified so i have no idea if that happened! Now my phone does not even open, or charging! Please tell me if there is a way to make it work again!
It might be of some help to mention that my charger is a new one that i bought from bol.com and its not the original one! I have no idea if that affected somehow the mobile functioning.
No, you are unlikely to fix that. You can try a usb jig, see if download mode will start, but it sounds like partial SDS followed by user panic until it was hard bricked.
If it didnt show in odin you have a driver issue and the repartition wouldn't have happened.
Remove battery, sd and sim. Make sure the battery is charged.
Insert battery and hold home+vol down while pressing power once.
If the screen lights up do not let go of home+vol down until it has entered download mode. If the phone wont light up at this point you have a bigger problem.
Once in download mode install the samsung mobile device drivers on your pc, you might need to try different versions, and plug the phone into the pc's usb on the motherboard. Try to avoid using front mounted or shared ports as they are unreliable. If your phone doesnt interact with your pc try other drivers.

bro i have already tried it but no success
Hi Fellas, it seems that I bricked my galaxy s plus when I tried to flash Cynagenmode via TWRP.
I have read tons of articles and threads before posting this. The phone turns on but keeps showing TEAMWIN logo (bootloop). I can not boot into recovery mode which is done by pressing and holding Volume Up + Power. (I've tied many keyboard combination but still no access to recovery mode instead the phone boots).
However, I am able to get into download mode (Volume Down + Power + Home) but when I connect the phone to pc for ODIN purpose, my pc or Odin won't recognize it. I have tried to uninstall and re-install all drivers again and again. Tried on different PC, Odin version and even different cables.
However, When I turn on the phone it keeps bootlooping but when I connect to pc, there is that "beep" sounds that says connected, BUT IT LASTS only 3-5 seconds.
Since I cannt get into recovery mode, I must connect to PC via ODIn, right? So I did it, but every time when I plug it, it keeps saying that USB Device Is not Recognized. I ve tried in many PCs, still no access.
Forgot to mention that I ve tried to unplug the battery while the phone is in download mode and is plugged to PC or ODIN, but it does not work too.
I ve removed the battery for 10-15 minutes and then again plug it but still no hope.
