Like topic says. Was doin' it via LG PC Suite. Now it's only LG logo on my phone. Any ideas what should I do?
Are you planning to install custom ROMs on your phone?
If so, check this out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16783348&postcount=1
Instead of doing this:
Prepare the phone by enabling USB Debugging by going to Settings>Applications>Development>Enable USB Debugging and connect the phone to the computer via USB cable and let Windows install any drivers it needs.

Do this instead:
Hold down volume down and plug in the USB cable and 'download mode' should come up on the screen. Let windows install any drivers it needs. Then launch software update.

Hope it fixes your problem and device
Same thing happened to me, bricked my device, took it to phone shop they flashed the board and it worked again, think i could have just entered download mode and reinstalled but, i was a noob then still am tbh
Just put your phone into download mode.
Flash fastboot.
Then reflash your ROM!!
ALL DONE XD
Any
You can flash any ROM you want via fastboot and any failed attempts won't completely brick your phone.
I have a broken screen and digitiser - I can see nothing at all on the screen and it does not recognise any touch movements.
The phone does appear to turn on and is recognised by my computer.
I want to retrieve all my data - photos, videos etc - from the internal SD card.
Unfortunately I did not have USB debugging enabled when the screen broke.
Is there a solution to achieve thiis?

Connect with usb and copy your files to the pc You don`t need usb for that.
Thanks for your reply Gee but that was, oddly enough, the first thing I tried.
The computer recognises the device as a portable media player and there are no files found in the device.

Maybe my original post wasn't too clear.
I need to retrieve all my data from the S4, and the conventional method of plugging in to my computer via USB does not recognise any data. Would I possibly have to select to mount the card to view? Either way, this is not an option due to the broken screen.
My next thought was to use ADB to transfer over all the content of the internal SD card, however, my S4 is not recognised using ADB (I assume as USB debugging was not enabled when my phone broke?)
So, is it possible to enable USB debugging without use of the screen on this device?

do you have custom recovery on your phone??
No, the phone is entirely stock.
I'm still holding out hope that someone has seen this happen before and knows of a solution for me to retrieve my data?
Can anyone help me with this?

Can I flash customer recovery, though, as I can't see my screen?
You could install ClockworkMod Recovery and use ADB to retrieve your data while it's in recovery. You can put your phone in download mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power buttons till it vibrates. Then press Volume Up to confirm that you want to enter download mode. You should then be able to use Odin to install ClockworkMod Recovery.

you can boot in download mode and flash it without screen. see if odin recognize it
In my opinion if u could turn on usb debugging that would not bring back your lost data. Not really sure though. You could do that by connecting a micro usb to hdmi cable to your tv and then i guess you could use the phone there, not sure if the touchscreen would work though but worth a try..

Thanks - I have flashed CWM via Odin successfully.
I have installed ADB but my device does not get recognised as an ADB device - have I missed something?

be sure that you boot in custom recovery, connect your phone, open cmd in adb folder (shift + right click) and type (no need to enable usb debug):
Code:
adb devices
you must see the serial number (in recovery mode)
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/
use attached adb folder

Because I can't see the phone I'm not sure the state it's in.
Is it just Volume-up + Home + Power to access customer recovery?
I can now see the device in ADB.
When I run the adb pull /sdcard/ command I get an
error: device unauthorised. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device.

hmmm do you read "recovery" in command line after the serial number?
there is a dialog box showed on your broken screen, try to tap on, maybe you will hit confirmation
EDIT: your digitizer is broken!......no way to recognize touch.....
ok, trying to follow the instructions to sideload the OTA update to kitkat here:
http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-update-your-nexus-tablet-kitkat
However, I am running into a problem with the recovery mode. it isn't seen by my PC. So adb cannot find my device to let me sideload the OTA.
adb sees my tablet when it is running normally, though. I was able to reboot into recovery using adb. It just lost the connection as soon as I was rebooted in recovery.
Does anyone know how to make windows see my tablet while it is in recovery mode?
Thanks,

You need to pull up the recovery menu by clicking the power button and then clicking the volume up button and then letting go of both of them. then click the button that says something along the lines of sideloading an update via adb and then you're set to send the adb command. Be wary, however, I seemed to somehow brick my N10 earlier by doing this. I finally got it up and running (by what I'm calling luck) but it wasn't a fun hour.

I can get to recovery, no problem there. I can select the option to sideload via adb. the problem is in Windows. Once my tablet is in recovery, the tablet is no longer seen by Windows, so the adb sideload command fails because it doesn't see the tablet is connected anymore,

I've heard that unplugging the device from the PC until you're in recovery mode might help. I would also suggest, if that doesn't work, to install the ADB drivers again once you're in recovery mode.
Go to device manager and you will probably see "Nexus 10" listed with no drivers installed.
Right click it an select properties, then Driver. Click Update Driver.
Select the browse option, then let me pick option, then click "Have Disk" and point it to the folder sdk\extras\google\usb_driver from the Android SDK you installed.
Then select the Android ADB driver.

When it is running, and usb debugging is enabled, it shows up under Android Phone as Android Composite ADB Interface.
I turn USB debugging off, and it shows up under Portable Devices as Nexus 10
I boot into the bootloader and it shows under Android Phone as Android Bootloader Interface.
but It doesn't show at all when I am in recovery
How are you connecting your N10 to your Windows machine? Are you using good USB cable? Are you using USB2 or USB3 port? Is the port attached to mobo directly, or is it on the case?
Some claim there can be issues with poor USB cables, using USB3 instead of USB2, or using port not directly on the mobo, so if you're doing any of those, I'd suggest trying a switch.
Also, I'm confused, has USB debugging on or off when you go into Recovery?

I am connecting with a USB cable. I don't know if it is "good' or not, but it works with the tablet in all other modes. I was able to use adb to transfer files, reboot, etc. I was able to use fastboot to flash Chainfire's autoroot, and to flash the factory images.
I was using a USB2 port directly on my laptop, but I just tried the USB3 port and it didn't change anything.
Plugging it into my USB hub, and my hub did not detect that it was plugged in either while it was in recovery mode. It was detected when I rebooted back into the system.
USB debugging is on when I enter recovery. I used "adb reboot recovery" to reboot my tablet into the recovery mode

Stop and take a breath.
Right this happened to me execpt I had no idea how to use adb, download a toolkit, I used Wug Fresh but I am sure it can work in any. Then delete all the drivers for your nexus 4 and then download the universal drivers. Then perform the battery pull (push the power and volume up for 5 sec) and boot into fastboot (power + up buttons). Flash to boot with the status soft-bricked. It should boot up and good luck. :fingers-crossed:

Stop worrying about the debugging already lol, when you boot in fastboot (volume down + power button) you do not need debugging because it is ON in fastboot

Thanks Guys so much. I finally got it to connect and now my nexus is up and running.
Hi, Just got the amazon ads Nokia TA-1025, I'm trying to get ADB working but even if phone detect the USB connection it will never ask for grant permission for PC thru ADB, deleveloper options is active as well as USB debug, tried using universal ADB drivers, included drivers and nokia 3 drivers with no luck, what I want to do is try to flash TA-1021 software or at least get into fastboot, thank you in advance for any advise!

For fastboot
1. Switch of your device
2. Connect your charger either via power or computer, your choice
3. Don't start your device just let it show that the phone is charging in power off mode
4. When you saw the bettery animation of power off charging, press and hold power button+volume plus button together and release only power button when you see android boot logo
5. Keep holding your volume plus button until you see recovery menu
6. In recovery menu you will find reboot to bootloader, select the option and hit power button to get into bootloader
7. Now you can install Mena firmware from Rom thread post of the nokia 6.
Enjoy
Hit thanks button if you find this helpful
Happy flashing
These have locked bootloaders. You are going to brick your phone. Geesh man. Read more before you try stuff like this .
