hello guys,
I have one S4 of my friend but unfortunetely the screen bricked due to falling on tiles.
well... he want to get the data which is in phone memory.
He searched in the market for a new screen but it is not available .
So now How can we help that guy to get those DATA.
can we use ADB?
Reply soon.
Thanks
Hi,
I encounter exactly the same broken screen issue and I need your help to recover my data (contacts, SMS, etc) on my phone memory... As I cannot unlock the phone, I cannot access it through my computer. Thanks.
not sure if it help but, If only the screen bricked, you can use the hdmi (mhl), plug the phone in a monitor and unlock it, also plug a keyboard and mouse using otg.
But if you need both at the same time, probably the only solution will by a dock station.

Hello everyone, I have a couple of questions to ask all of you great phone gurus
**If this is the wrong forum for this sort of thread, I apologize in advance**
Basically I have ruined the USB connection on my Touch Cruise. I am wanting to know if there is any way I can access my files on the phone by having it connected to my wireless network at home (ie a program or something I can run on my PC.) Reason I ask is I am trying to edit the HTC weather Plugin to show my location (Lebanon, OH, USA) and it is quite hard/impossible to do using the phone alone.
Second question is, is it possible to replace a damaged USB connector? I know it is probably ruined but I figure it might be worth a try. I had attempted to hook up my front USB header on my motherboard, but plugged them in backwards. I managed to salvage the phone by removing the actual USB piece from the phone and pulling the wires out. Luckily I am still able to use the phone (nothing else besides the USB connector is messed up) by purchasing an external battery charger + battery.
I know these are probably both a shot in the dark but any help anyone could provide would be GREATLY appreciated.
You can sync via bluetooth if you have it on your computer, or wifi search in google for that (ex: http://wifi.aximsite.com/sync.html)
I tought replace it will be very hard .
just out of curiosity could you please give us some screenshots as i'm having a real hard time understanding what you did and how it looks now? ^^
using bluetooth will help and maybe a card reader + microSD might speed things up. find a good file manager for WinMO
i doubt that there is any way to acces phones files through wireles so bluetooth is the only wireless (and supported) way
I don't have a camera currently but just look at your USB connection on your phone then imagine that there is absolutely nothing in it. It is just an empty 'rectangle'. No wires or the little horizontal piece that normally sits in there. Just an empty 'rectangle.'
Thanks for the replies. I am trying the wireless sync now.
Thanks a bunch
Hi XDA, Please Help.
My screen is cracked on the phone. Still shows pics but I can not use it, touch is not functional. The phone screen is locked with the pattern.
I would like to retrieve at least my pictures. I really need them.
The USB Debugging is enabled. The phone is connected to my home WIFI. Stock phone not rooted.
I was thinking of loading apps from the play store(web site) and go trough my pc and get the pix but I dont know what app to use. I dont have google plus but if i sideload from playstore will it upload pix? Can i back my phone via ABD? Or any other options...
Please help me out.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

good idea, will try it tomorrow. I think I have the usb otg cable somewhere.
EDIT. It totally worked. thank you so much. Even though I had everything i needed, I just could not brainstorm enough to think of it.
Hi
I've just had an accident with my Galaxy S4 LTE, which broke it in a major way which completely broke the screen and digitizer as the phone got stuck in a car door slammed shut... really nasty :cyclops:
somehow by some miracle it still works, buttons, speakers, charging and all, just not the screen and I am thinking I will just use it as the most expensive android TV stick there is, with bluetooth keyboard and usb video out but I have one pickle.
right now I have MIUI rom, without USB debugging and broken video out, and I am thinking I need original samsung rom to get the video-out capabilites, but as I do not have a screen on my S4 so I think I would have to make a custom rom with remote desktop and/or usb debugging enabled so I can use my computer to set it up but I don't know how I can do any of that and I'm looking here for pointers and help.
Any suggestions?

Yep, that's a bust but that is not a big surprise for me because I have turned it off, along with usb debugging
I have a stock LG G2 that has a cracked screen. I have a PIN set so I cannot log into the phone or do much else with it. Is there a way to recover the images and other data that I have on the phone?
I think so.
Use the usb-otg dongle along with a usb mouse to control your screen.
Turn on Wireless Storage and transfer your data over.
Hope that helps, others might have simpler solutions
Try the on screen phone app for your computer.. If your model supports it I believe you can access everything and conveniently copy files to your computer while it connected....

Hello xda!
This forum has helped me a lot in the past time with all kind of problems i enocountered and I hope you guys can help me once more time with this big problem i have!
So basically 2 weeks ago i broke my screen on my old s4 pretty bad and it doesnt display anything anymore and the touch is not working. I have a lot of files and photos on it and I've een struggling to access it from my windows PC but i pretty much can't figure it out since it is locked with a pattern and can't unlock it!
I can't unlock it from my samsung account cause the account doesn't display the phone anymore for some unknown reason..and i really dont know what to try anymore I know the pattern and the backup PIN, google account etc, etc but still i couldn't find anything on google aout what could I do.
I have tried ADB but i cant manage to get it working tho, i have read that it wont work if my debugging is not thicked and its not..so the adb didn't detect it when i tried...maybe i did somethig wrong tho cause im not familiar with adb. Followed a guide on youtube and my [adb shell] command in platform-tools cmd didn't seem to work.
Please guys, help me access my files i dont know what to try anymore
If you need any more information about anything else regarding the phone, please ask and I will try anything just to recover my files ^^
Thank you!
without debugging activated ADB won't work. long shot (and quite expensive option) would be MHL adaptor plugged into TV and USB hub and wired mouse also in the hub...
I've never tried it, but in principle it should work
Even if the mhl cable will display an image on a monitor, you can't unlock the phone or enable debugging if the digitizer is busted.

that's where the mouse is supposed to come in, I understood maybe incorrectly that android has native support for a mouse...
How would the mouse connect to the phone? Do all ROMs support a mouse?
Well,Long story short,Nothings gonna work had the same issue with my phone back in the day,I've tried everything possible but was of no luck,you need to the change the screen and digitalizer to use it again (sadly) that's the only way out or you can borrow screen from repair shop get it unlocked. Goodluck

I mentioned a hub, if a mouse is supported it'll work fine through a USB hub, the question is will the MHL adaptor work thru one at the same time. I know some do not, and that's why I called it a long shot...
I flashed custom recovery and tried to mount usb storage blindly following guides but it doesn't seem to work...i wonder if there is any way to flash with odin a stock rom or custom rom without losing pictures and personal data such as documents just to get rid of the pattern..
