Hey I have an elf the T mobile version 64/128mb , phone has been working for 8 months now all of a sudden it wont respond but the call and end call buttons work fine the 4 way navigation key only work when lets say you go into the call records by pressing the green call button. You cannot do anything besides change time, answer calls and hang up. Please Help Tried hard reset soft reset, and the phone is unlocked to all networks using the network key method.
this looks a hardware problem may be the LCD or the digitizer
Is it fixable by software or maybe opening it up to fiddle ?
It is not the LCD, it is only the digitizer (the thing that is responsible for the 'touch') I recently had the same problem, until 1 week ago I purchased a new digitizer off eBay for $15.
Do not get LCD and Digitizer, just the digitizer to save money.
If there is no cracks or damage to the screen (bad cracks, pixel damage etc) you only need a digitizer.
I have a video I made of me changing mine which I'm editing atm. I do have photos.
This is the correct response. It is not software if it started to work occassionally and then stop, this is what happened to mine. 99% it is digitizer!
Thats cool please email me link [email protected] for your video I will order one now.

Hey I read its going to ttake 14 days for my digitizer to come , in the mean time is there a way I can bypass the touch the screen alignment page when you first boot up?
you can get www.mymobiler.com
Cheers.
Tried it but requires you to accept the installation on the phone any other ideas?
Thats weird, mine doesnt.
it will auto install.
It says on the little status box installing mymobile to the phone then it dissappears saying not connect. this message comes up everytime you try and run it.
Sorry, I ran out of brain juice.
You have to stick with this for a while than, and bear the bitter pill.
MyMobiler should be able to install onto the phone itself.
But I really wonder why this doesnt work.

and it does auto install its the part where it asks you to accept remote.exe and you have to tap yes or no for it to run on your device, havent bypassed that yet but atleast I can just accept calls and check texts but let me know if you have a solution for the whole remote.exe thing

^^ A digitizer is a screen Its the touch screen part with htc logo at the bottom... right? (with a little ribbon comin out).. this IS the digitizer! (screen included).
Hi guys, so I dropped my 5 the other day and screen cracked internally unfortunately, I can hear it boot up etc so that's fine only the screen that's black, I went and got the s7 edge but I still want to recover files from my 5, I don't really want to buy a new screen for a phone that I will no longer use so wondered if there was an alternative such as a cheap screen that will run with the same connectors or even a way to connect it to the laptop just so I can see what I'm clicking to unlock it and transfer files?
Cheers,
Nik
Hi!
Is your phone root? Is adb debugger on, at least?
Long and short of it is a company replaced a shattered screen. Then, the new screen began to peel away and then the connection became so bad that the screen is not functional. I just get a blank screen. I need to rip all of that data off the old phone so I can back it up and put it on a new phone (courtesy of the company that replaced the screen).
Here's where it gets tricky. The USB connection mode is charge only. I need to set it to MTP, but can't because the screen has lost all functionality. Without MTP, neither Android File Transfer nor Smart switch can't connect to the phone. I think Sidesync would work, but I can't install it on my phone.
An MHL cable won't help because it mirrors what is on the screen, but I can't select anything....
Are there any tricks out there that can help me before I have to send the old phone back in?
Thanks in advance!
You'll have to try fixing it temporarily . youtube has some good info

You can try and take a phone with the same os. If you have 2 computers its best (maybe one laptop or something). Turn both the phones off and connect them both to the computers and turn them both on. Look at the one that you see his screen and press the same places on your phone..

I'm in the same boat, have you found a way?
Hi,
My girlfriend has a Samsung s8 and the screen has gone black and we can not see the screen. We are still getting notifications but no screen.
The thing is she needs to access the phone to retrieve images and videos of our 5 month old. Also to access texts to access her bank account and Facebook gmail etc.
I have looked on net and been told to put in debugging mode and connect to pc but I can't see the screen so I can't do that, I have been told to put it in download mode to use some software to do it but I can't put in download mode.
Anyone any ideas to wither mirror the phone to pc and use on pc or put in download mode without using the buttons or screen of the phone.
Thanks
Sounds like the digitiser is broken.
Don't think there's a way to mirror the screen without downloading an app or changing system settings I'm afraid. Your girlfriend should still have warranty on the phone though, so I'd say send it to Samsung for them to fix it. Unless the device was dropped or tampered with and/or there's visible damage that's the way to go I guess.

My thoughts exactly
As the title says, I broke my phone screen (Samsung galaxy 8+) and the phone still turns on and I can use the screen for a short period of time and then the pixels die and the screen goes black. And I can't really open it long enough to allow USB to be authorised on my computer to move files off of it (i now regularly back up my new phone....).
So can I somehow get access to the content of my phone either by pc control or direct HDD access? I can unlock the screen but that's about it before it goes black.
Cheers.
I posted here because it seemed like the most general place to get an answer? =]
You can't debugging must be on to access phone data
