I have the lg g2 it still works when I get calls and texts but I can't unlock my phone to get file access when plugging it through USB to the computer I have important files I need any help would literally save my life.
What sort of screen lock are you using and how damaged is the digitizer ie is it all dead or can you still use some of the screen to interact?
You may need to buy USB to go plug insert USB mouse into it then into LG g2 and get in there unlock phone insert USB computer cable and then transfer files to computer and then be rid of it.
You can also use some of the suggestions mentioned here.
Good luck
Also do you plan to go for a diff phone, because if it is just a screen replacement i don't think they will wipe out your phone.
The screen isn't responsive at all and I can't see anything on it I have a pass word not a pattern or number sequence. Like I said when I plug it in the computer recognizes the phone just won't let me access anything without entering the password.
Is set on charge only then?
Can you access the phone via ADB? You could reboot to recovery, even stock recovery and access through ADB command line.

Just dropped it and the phone is malfunction.
a. the screen is shatter and touch isn't work.
b. usb port doesn't seem to work either.
Main problem now is that I have lockscreen with PIN on, since touchscreen isn't working I can't access it to turn on On-Screen feature.
USB port doesn't work, I think I can use wireless but again, can't get pass the lockscreen.
I have tried remote Unlock from AVG app which I currently has it running on the phone but still cannot get pass the screen.
I want to copy a few important files over first then perform Factory Reset via Recovery.
Does anyway I can do that?
All feedback and thought welcomed.
Also, since I got this phone for 4 months, i believe warranty is over. Anyone know which reliable, good service that I can send my phone for the screen fix?
Thanks all
Since the usb doesn't work so I don't think ADB pull will help, plus I have to turn on the USB Debugging anyway, which I can't now.
Got it.
Case closed.
I really need a guru here with this one! Dropped the phone last tuesday, screen cracked, and is no longer operable. Since the Nexus 4 has no SD card, I have no way of retrieving the data on it. When I plug the usb cable into the computer, it defaults to charging mode instead of mass storage mode to mount a drive on the computer. Screen is locked with my chosen pattern. Is there any way at all to make the the phone automatically mount the drive instead of going to charging mode?

Is your bootloader unlocked? Do you have USB debugging enabled?
I don't know the answer to either of those questions unfortunately. How would I know if debugging is enabled, or the bootloader is unlocked?

If you had done either of those things you probably would have known, but in case you forgot... Did you ever root your phone? If you did you would have had to unlock your bootloader. If you did not, did you ever boot into bootloader mode, connect your phone to your computer and used the command prompt to run the command "fastboot oem unlock"?
If you never did any of that I unfortunately don't think there is much to do about your phone.
I'm pretty sure I didn't do any of that.. Does it have to do anything with when you hold the volume down button and power button at the same time and it brings you to that android screen where you use the volume buttons as cursors up and down, and the power button to select items? I can get to that screen.....
I found this thread:
http://www.dotkam.com/2013/01/16/backup-and-reset-nexus-4-cracked-and-locked-screen/
but I'm not sure if it helps me or not......? That screen I was talking about is called fastboot
this is crazy, I just came across this thread, looks like it might be the answer to my problem, I hope!! I will update this thread after I give it a try:

Hi,
I just cracked the upper left corner of my Wileyfox Storm. there's a burst from the top to he bottom of my phone which resulted in an error of the touchscreen, it's not working at all. I tried to connect my phone via USB cblae to my computer so I can restore my files to de PC but it's not connecting at all...:crying:
At first I had the usual scren to enter my PIN code for my Simcard, but now it is gettin ON/OFF constantly (probably untill the battery dies).
Any one who can help me to restore my files ?
I was in same situation. Answer: You cant get files unless you replace your screen.. BUT if You decide to replace screen, You wont find replacements on the web to buy them, and You will have to send phone to Wileyfox, the'll say that it's no longer supported, or if they will fix it, it will be wiped completely.
After braking stom i bought N5 and im happy as hell
If you open the phone it is possible to disconnect the touch panel and get the phone to start. With a USB otg connector you can navigate with a mouse. With a USB hub you can also connect a pc (mouse required to enable file transfer) at the same time or you can transfer the files via WiFi / Bluetooth (sloooow)

Hi, Today I dropped my phone and the screen is gone. the phone inside is still alive. I need to mirror the screen onto my computer so that I can sort some things out on it. Is this possible without put a client onto the phone? It is rooted.
Thanks.

you can do it with a microusb to hdmi cable, no actions required - but your touchscreen must be operative, otherwise you can do nothing. If you want to recover files simply connect device to a pc
Hehy there,
unfortunately the screen on my mi9t stopped displaying. Really weird. While I was using it, the screen started flashing, just to turn black and never wake up again. No fall or water involved. The phone still seems to work fine, and even touch seems to work, but no display.
I opened up the phone to see if the connector got loose, but everything is well in place.
Now my problem ist, that I can not access the phone anymore. All my files and things are still on there but unreachable.
Here are the facts:
- no display
- bootloader is locked
- usb debugging is enabled, but my pc is not authorized
- I can blindly get into fastboot and to the lockscreen
- I am not able to blindly unlock the device
Easiest option would obvoulsy be to exchange the display, but unfortunately I can not get on here (South Africa) and shipping would take a month.
My favourite aproach so far was to mirror the screen via Vizor, but unfortunately it needs to install the according app on the device, which it can not while the device is locked.
Does someone here know how to recover the data?
Thanks
and a happy new year to everyone!

When I experimented, I was able to unlock my two SIM cards and Android by adb (replace xxxx by your PINs)
However, phone was rooted and shell was given the root grant:
adb wait-for-device devices
adb shell
su
input text xxxx
input keyevent 66
input text xxxx
input keyevent 66
input touchscreen swipe 930 880 930 380
input text xxxx
exit
exit
try fastboot apk
Mirror screen to pc with vyzor. You have usb debugging turned on, so it's worth a try.
If touch doesn't work, use usb otg adapter to plug keyboard or mouse
There's no other option.

Thank your for the idea! Unfortunately it does not work in the unrooted phone. I suspect that's only because I can't the adb connection to my pv authorized.
I tried this on an unrooted lineage os 17, which I have on my old Mix2, and there it works like a charm.

Thanks for the advice. I think i tried everything to get the apk installed, but I can not do anything through adb since even though debugging is activated, the connection to my pc is not authorized.
I guess I have to wait for the replacement screen.

Any water exposure? Ever?
May not be the screen; a mobo failure is just as likely even more so especially if they use no lead solder paste.
Maybe a loose or bad connector/cable if you get real lucky... and find it.
