Hello all,
I have an LG NExus 4 which has a cracked screen. The top half of the screen detects touch input but the bottom half does not. Which means I cannot press "Enter" after keying in my passcode for the lockscreen. I have some data I would like to backup. I ran the adb devices command. It returns a serial number but also it says unauthorized. Do you think you could help me backup data?
Appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi All,
I have dug, and dug, and dug some more, but I can't seem to find out wtf is going on with this phone.
I was attempting to flash back to stock using these instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312) on my windows 8 machine. However, after the last step (Step 14 in section D), my nexus simply went blank. And stayed that way. Now, I can tell the backlight is turning on, however nothing is displaying on the screen. Also, my computer is no longer recognizing it. All I can manage to get out of it is my computer is a noise after I hold down power and volume down, along with a red flash of the notification led. The backlight will stay lit, but the screen isn't even turning on. It is also not showing up as a device, adb is simply returning "waiting on device" (or similar), and it is not returning the serial number after typing "fastboot devices".
Is it possible I hard bricked it somehow? I'm at wit's end here. and I would MUCH appreciate any and all help.
So I have a Nexus 4 with 4.2.2. I dropped it yesterday morning in the dirt this morning, it fell out of my bag maybe 2 feet off the ground.
There is a small scuff on the left upper corner and the lower half of the touchscreen no longer works. Only buttons on the top half of the screen respond. The display is completely intact though, not shattered and displays images just fine. Since the lower half screen is unresponsive, I can't enter my SIM PIN or unlock my phone.
My skill level in this area is pretty low. Enabling LTE is pretty much the most technical thing I've done with this phone.
I do have twrp but it appears I do not have USB debugging enabled. I've been googling this mess and experimenting with adb and fastboot for the last hour but haven't been able to make any progress backing up my phone or enabling USB debugging. I was thinking if I could at least enable USB debugging at least I could use Control Android or something right?
I'm able to connect using adb but I must be using incorrect syntax. I've tried every command I have come across and always get a not found error. Is there some other referance I should be using - I started with developer.android.com/tools/help/adb
~ # ←[6nadb devices
adb devices
/sbin/sh: adb: not found
~ # ←[6n
C: \adt\ sdk\ platform-tools>fastboot devices
0047e1b856555005 fastboot
I will be getting a new phone but my primary concern is there are a handful of text messages from my boss sent me literally minutes before I dropped my phone and he is now unreachable for the next week.
Is there any possibility the digitiser came loose and that's why only half of the screen doesn't work? I need to buy a #5 torx driver anyways but I don't want to open it up if its not a viable solution.
Any other suggestions?
Just boot into TWRP and type 'adb pull /sdcard/' in a console. Recovering text messages I'm not sure how to do, might be doable through a shell.

Hello,
I am working on a T-Mobile Galaxy S5 and trying to get the photos off of it before i send it in. The screen is black and appears to not respond to touch. The device has a pattern lock screen on it. I have tried a MHL adaptor to see the screen but it would not show up on the TV. The device powers up and still receives notifications and calls. The computer recognizes the device but wont show the files as it is locked. When i try to use adb it says the device is unauthorized. I am unable to authorize it on the message that should pop up on the phone. Kies 3 recognizes the device but says it is locked. The device was never registered to the Samsung find your device page. Do any of you have any ideas left for me to try? Thank you in advance.
I cracked my screen and stupidly tried to reboot. My sceen is blank and it is probably asking for my 4 digit code to unlock and decrypt my phone, but since I can't see the screen, I can't enter the password.
I'd like to mirror the phone screen on my computer until I have a chance to get my screen changed. Any advice on what I should do?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Can you ADB the following commands to unlock it? xxxx is your Pin
adb shell input text xxxx
shell input keyevent 66
I don't think the Type C port on the 6P outputs video signal even with HDMI adapter, so I'm not sure about mirroring.
If you have usb debugging turned on you can use vysor from chrome on your pc. It works fantastic. You can also use a USB type c hub to put a keyboard and mouse on your phone but it sounds like your screen is not displaying anything. Good luck.

Hey guys.
I have a oneplus5 that is in the following state:
Display and touchscreen nonfunctional
rebootet (means, it is not unlocked and i cant unlock it since the screen is done)
not rootet
developer options not enabled.
unlock method is pattern
Im looking for a way to access a single foto that is on the device (not in cloud somewhere).
I allready tried to connect a mouse to the phone and input the pattern with that, but that doesnt seem to work. At least i tried for extended period of time and had no luck. i think the pattern doesnt recognize mouse input.
Are there any options left that I could try?
Destruction of the device IS an option. Is there a way to crack it open and access the storage that way?
Any help appreaciated.
Very peculiar stage now. Let me dig something if probable.
