[Q] [problem] Encrypted device with broken touch screen - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, guys,
Please advice.
I have Nexus 4 with TWRP recovery and Cm10.2.
The device is encrypted. Yesterday the phone fell down and now touch screen doesn't work. Everything else works fine, only touch screen fails.
My backup system has stopped working a couple of months ago and I haven't noticed it
So, now I need at least to create a backup of the device and pull it to PC.
How can I do that?
Normal boot: stuck at decryption password screen,
adb devices shows nothing.
TWRP boot: stuck at decryption password screen,
adb devices works (recovery mode). I don't know how to enter password via adb...
CWM boot: stuck at decryption password screen,
adb devices works (recovery mode). doesn't have support of FDE.
Any thoughts?

[Q] Assistance required - trouble unlocking

Hi,
New nexus 10 arrived today. Installed drivers from NRT.
Computer cannot see the device with ADB (usb debugging enabled) so manually rebooted into bootloader.
Unlocked bootloader successfully with fastboot then restarted system.
Watched loading screen for 10 minutes then three button reset into bootloader.
Used fastboot to push twrp 2701 successfully.
Entered twrp, attempted backup, stated failed, lots of can't mount this or that errors.
Rebooted, watched loading screen for 10 minutes, three button reset to bootloader.
Pushed philz recovery and entered. Attempted backup failed again with similar errors. Internal storage showing as 0mb.
Rebooted and currently watching loading screen.
When in the bootloader fastboot recognised the device but not adb so i've no way of pushing a rom zip to the device in order to flash it with the recovery.
Any clues on what to try next appreciated.
Crisis over.
Pushed twrp over again and entered.
Loads of cannot mount errors, unable to backup existing rom.
Factory reset failed.
then...
Format data...and yay, that seems to have fixed it.
Was then able to factory reset, reboot and it loaded.
Downloading CM11 now to flash.
What a royal PITA lol.

[HELP] My device only boots into recovery TWRP mode.

Hello, I rooted my motog4 plus about 6 months ago, and today I made a mistake and when the screen to update the system showed up, I clicked on update.
The mobile turned off and then started in TWRP recovery mode, I was freaking out because when i tried to boot into the system again I couldnt, only recovery mode. Until I entered bootloader and then pressed start from there, thats the only way i have to enter the system and its very slow.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem? I have android nougat 7.0

[SOLVED] Unable to enter TWRP/Stock recovery and can't boot into system

Hi,
I have been using my P Smart (FIG-LX1) for a while with LineageOS 16 and decided to move on to Android 10. Installed LineageOS 17.1 (found it on this forum) and pph-Magisk 20.3 for root - it did work, but the system was unstable so i decided to try AOSP 10.0 instead. I entered TWRP, wiped cache,dalvik,system and data, flashed the ROM, gapps etc. It was advised to now flash stock recovery and use it to do a factory reset - and now i'm stuck here.
After flashing the recovery_ramdisk img the phone stopped being able to enter any recovery at all. The system itself does not boot (stuck on the "Your device has been unlocked (...) Your device is booting now..." screen forever), the recovery never appears (previously in the start screen with 'unlocked device' warning it used to suggest pressing volume UP to enter recovery, now it only shows "Your device is booting now"). As i can still access fastboot, I tried flashing TWRP again - the TWRP splash screen does appear, but the phone gets stuck on it. Also tried flashing another system's img - nothing changed.
Is there anything I can do or did i just brick it completely?
Thanks for help!
SOLVED:
Apparently running fastboot erase on system and userdata partitions made me able to boot into recovery/erecovery again. I do have another problem now, but it's not connected with this one so I will create another thread for that.
Could you try help me? I can't even get ADB to work anymore

Moto G5 not booting. TWRP not booting. Factory mode from bootloader not working. Please help !

Hi
After a shutdown due to an empty battery, my phone entered a bootloop.
I launched TWRP and tried a backup to my pc via ADB, wich failed.
After this, TWRP got stuck. I removed the battery. At restart, TWRP entered bootloop too.
So i tried factory mode option from the bootloader. It doesnt event start, just shows indefinitely the screen "Your device has been unlocked [...] Your device will boot in 5 seconds".
Do you know any way to restore my data, or even to factory reset ?
My phone is not rooted.
Thanks !
Ok, so now the bootloader isnt working anymore
EDIT : finally i got the bootloader to load again, at least.
Same problem, just made a thread about it and found this post

Stuck on OS and Recovery Logo; Bootloader works fine

Hello everyone,
I have a Moto G5 Plus wih the 7.13 custom ROM "crDroid" Link flashed as well as TWRP 3.5.2 and the latest Magisk software installed.
I am now stuck on either the crDroid logo showing on booting to OS or the TWRP logo showing on booting to recovery mode. I can enter the bootloader menu just fine.
My question is: how can i enter recovery mode again? Because without entering recovery mode i cannot reset my device...
I tried to connect it via USB, but adb does not detect the device. Neither does fastboot. And I cannot enable USB Debugging, because I cannot get into the OS.
I can also not enter Factory Mode, as it justs boots the OS with only the logo showing.
Context: I restarted my device this morning and since then I needed to restart it several times, because the Android UI would get stuck. I did this 3 times and since then I am stuck on the logos as described above.
Any help is much appreciated!
