Is it possible to control the N1 remotely? The reason I ask is that the screen went out, but I still need to use the phone until the replacement arrives. Can this be done via ADB or Eclipse? At the very least I'd like to be able to make a backup right before I switch to the new handset, but with the screen being black it might be difficult once its on the recovery screen. Any ideas? Thanks for any help in advance!
any ideas on this?
None that I can fathom.
Erm.. how'd your screen fail??
Not heard of any, but it would be cool if possible...
I had an app like this for my P900 and P1i (both SE phone running symbian). It was pretty damn cool. It was basically like using PCAnywhere but in reverse. You could type, use the mouse like it was the stylus, take screen shots... it was great for sitting in the office and leaving the phone in my pocket (it allowed connections over BT).
I've been trying to find something like this for Android but haven't had any luck... would definitely like to have something like this again.

well if you have Amon_RA Recovery yes you can
open your command window
adb reboot recovery
nandroid-mobile.sh -b
hit enter
it'll back everything up to your SD card..
Hey guys, well I managed to do it. Smashed my first screen. On a new phone too... I would have expected to smash it after a year or so but NOOOO I went and messed it up after a month or so...
Anyway, I want to pull a full backup off of my phone. NANDROID Backup is it ?
It still works fine, and I can see tiny tiny parts of the upper left of the screen. and connect through ADB. But none of the ADB remote controlling things I have found work with my mouse/KB.... If I could do that I would be satisfied...
And when I try and remove the pattern via ADB I get permission denied.... Ive spend the last few hours trying to figure out what to do here but im at a loss...
Anyone able to help me out ?
Also, Anyone able to tell me how much money im gonna loose replacing this screen ? ;___;
I can also boot into CWM, But I dont know what is what, like, I dont know whats selected because I cant make out the words... I want to do a full backup of everything to external SD card if possible.... photos of the screens of CWM would help XD
I dont remember what version I have installed sorry :c
But yes, PLEASE HELP ME!
Some day I may be able to help you in return, Until then I extend my deepest thanks to all who can help me even in the slightest...
Additional notes:
Screen is buggered, one of these things for the most of it, And the digitizer glass itself is cracked quite a bit on the upper left... :c
I seem to recall seeing CWM 6.0.3 or something along those lines...
I tried these:

Ever find out?
Ever figure out CWM menu?
I'm in the same boat and waiting for the OTG USB HDMI out adapter to show up, hopefully I can get the mouse and HDMI going at the same time and Titanium Backup everything.
Good Luck!
Hello all. Sorry upfront if this has already been addressed, but i could not find it using search feature.
My digitizer has cracked on the S4 on ATT and i am sending it back to samsung for repair. My problem is 1st off i dont want to loose any information/pictures. and 2nd its rooted and running some custom mods.
I would like to try and make a backup onto my 32gb sd card already in the phone but i cannot see or use the screen. it is completely unresponsive.
Is there software that will allow me to connect with usb to see what is trying to display on the screen and allow me to interact via mouse?
the other problem is as with allshare it has to be "turned on" on the phone. i dont have that option.
If anyone knows of a way, please let me know.
Thanks
Use adb to backup the device (boot into your custom recovery)
Then use Odin to flash stock rom and stock recovery
You could send it back like that but
I'd want to run triangle away on it 1st and as u have no screen I don't see it working, unless u figure out what buttons to press to get the ROM past startup and change dev options input them via adb but its a lot of hope n pray
Or just get your self a new screen, s4 is designed to easily swap parts. I'm sure you can just pull the screen out using a suction cup

Thanks i ended up just sending it in. they said if theres no sign of damage caused by neglect/miscare they will replace it. if there is any dents or dings that they think caused the screen to crack they will charge 200$.
The way i see changing myself is that the replacement is most likely not an actual samsung part and the cheapest i could find was 170ish. so for 30$ extra they replace with their part and they paid for the ups shipping. we will see how it goes!
Hello there,
today, it just happened out of the blue, my pretty new S7 does only show up a blank grass green screen now! It can be turned off and on, touch works. I just can't see anything at all anymore. I really need a way to mirror the screen to the PC or something... USB debugging is not active :crying:. There are some apps installed, I need to use because I have to create the backup files in them!
What would be the easiest way to get access to this?
The phone is connected to my WiF if that helps.
Thank you so much!
I need help really urgently. (
Put it in download mode and reflash in odin

If you can aquire a mhl cable for your s7 you will be able to output the video output of the s7/edge to a tv/display. Just search mhl cable for s7 edge on amazon or ebay and you should be good to go.
Edit: just read the s7 and the s7 edge don't support mhl so you might be out of luck.
@Rydah805 I want to backup my data .... and I don't think that would help at all. The screen is pretty much done.
@amar95353 I read online that there is no more MHL support on the S7 anymore.

Your SOL on data. You can try SmartSwitch on PC but even then you'll need to approve the backup via the phone.

Original answer deleted. I'm a complete idiot. I should have checked but believe I was given incorrect information from my sprint sales person on location of reset. Sorry.
I turned off the phone many times.
Phone works fine, just the screen doesn't. I found a lot of forum posts for this problem it seems common...
I didn't root this phone.
Now, I finally know what's the hole for LMAO! What does happen if I poke it? Update: Hey, that hole is not used for resetting the phone. It's for noise reduction.
I don't think this will help on a broken screen anyway.
slaldrich said:
i assume you turned your phone completely off and on again (not just the screen).
If you did that, did you try a reset? There is a little hole on the top of your phone and in your box, you received a little tool. Poke the hole and hold it in until something happens (a few secs). This sort of reset is like pulling the battery. You should not lose any data in doing this.
If you created this problem by trying to root your phone unsuccessfully... Then you will probably need to odin new stock software.

please dont put anything in that hole. This is not a reset button............... ITS A MICROPHONE and that tool its design to open the sim card bay.
Don't worry, I wont do that.
I'm so stuck here... and also I need to send this phone to T-Mobile! Right now I 'm using an iPad as a phone replacement. lol
Just wish I could save this data...
Is your screen experiencing this?
http://i.imgur.com/iOmtR2T.jpg
If so, it's a defective screen.
I got mine replaced already since it was under 30 days replacement guarantee. You can read more about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3359221
But the bad news is you won't be able to backup anything. I had to sacrifice a lot of stuff as well.
This is exactly what my screen does look like! And I did not only had problems with the screen, I wasn't able to get my carrier's settings automatically, I have problems with the charging, it won't display my phone number in the settings and also sometimes the camera app freezes. I installed the updates which didn't change anything. This new smartphone which doesn't even has a tiny scratch, never fall down is totally wrecked. Really disappointed about this "top high end" phone. I don't trust, that it will work after they "repeard it". I have it since release.
It's like really a huge amount of data... Of one app it is everything from 2 years (7GB)! There is no possibility to create a backup, you can just send the data to a new phone via WiFi that's all. If your phone breaks everything is lost.
I realized many app developers don't take enoughh care of backup solutions.
Yesterday the screen got back to life but just for a short moment
So it seems like there is no way to get back this data...
Can I get back my WhatsApp backup at least? I was able to create a backup before the screen died. When I plug in the phone to PC I can see "Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge" in my explorer an that's about it. When I click on it there is no content to show.
I just got an idea how to enable the god damn USB debugging!
Can someone share here how to connect the device as a mass storage to PC (by screenshots please)!
I was just thinking, I can work my way to the Developer Options by taking screenshots but I need to access the media for this!
When I connect the device to PC and then click on Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge it's empty... There most be done something before.
Thanks!
You guys can call me a ****ing genius! I managed to install Teamviewer by taking screenshots and look at them on the PC (I set up the device as mass storage blindly) so I knew what to do next. It was still tricky but possible.
I'm recovering my data now.
Thanks to the Google voice app I was able to type in "Teamviewer"
Thank you anyway!

WTF bro! You seem to hack it pretty easily!
Wish you had done that before mine got replaced.
Now I have permanently lost my previous data

It wasn't really easy dude... The most difficult was to make this damn thing work as a mass storage device. So I could finally have access to the data on the Windows Explorer.... I was just touching on the screen like a maniac!
But this is a way to do it guys. If you own a Galaxy S7 Edge I recommend to activate USB debugging and install Teamviewer quick support (Samsung version, there are different editions) just in case the screen breaks. lol I install Teamviewer on all my devices now...
Hey! The same thing just happened to my phone an hour ago. Green grassy screen. It's terrible!
Ok, so what were the steps you took in order to get to where you can turn on USB debugging and backup your phone?
Well, what happens when you connect your phone to your Computer (USB)? If nothing, then you need to check connect the device as camera or mass storage, blindly! Which is kinda tricky... You need to pull down your notification bar and then select the USB options thing and in this menu which pops up you need to select camera or mass storage... But once you get that done, you're good to go! You will be able to take screenshots and view them on your computer instantly. You don't really need to care about USB debugging, you can just get Teamviewer Quick Support (for Samsung) that is really important, the normal version won't work!

Thanks for the reply. It actually looks like my issue was much worse. My phone degraded pretty quickly, since I wrote my post. It got to a point that while I could type on my lockscreen, it wouldn't go past and enter the OS. I didn't even have a green screen anymore, the screen turned to an off black. At that point, I gave up and sent it in for repairs. I think the motherboard got fried.
Hi,
I've got my s5 neo from a few years ago and i would like to extract the user data that i have on it, but the issue is that my touchscreen + display are dead. So can anyone give me some hints/guide on what should i look to do this?
If you can't access by PC...
Used ones are cheap, slam your mobo into one.
If the mobo was damaged too... you'll need a data recovery specialist. Send the 2nd one with it if you go that route and mark the one to be recovered clearly.

Just reread your comment, i cannot acces it via pc because back then i didnt knew what adb was + i have a pin
Unfortunatley i also cannot get a sh one because to remove the mobo i have to remove the screen (which i can break up)
The mobo is fine, the phone boots just fine(ik because i see the rgb led.
I tryed to flash TWRP but it fails on odin (i think i need to oem unlock , which i cannot do without a screen).
The last solution is to get a screen from aliexpress , but i think i forgot the pin to the phone , and i dont think ive set any recovery stuff

Sort of boxed yourself in unfortunately.
If the data must be recovered a data recovery specialist is the best option I think.
