[Q] Broke my screen, anyway to get photos back? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone
Just yesterday I accidentally dropped my nexus 4 and the screen cracked. The touchscreen no longer responds to anything I do but I can still change the volume and use the power button. However the screen is still visible and I have usb debugging turned on, so I wondering if there was anything I could do in order to recover my photos.

Ohhh, bad luck! When connected to a PC it doesn't mount as external disk? If yes, you should be able to read the data.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If it is you have options.

You're on the right track, but you're not going to use Odin on a nexus device.

Here's what I'd try.
Form your PC, Google nexus 4 teamwin, you want to download a twrp image file.
Google 15 second adb install xda, that will install adb and fastboot on your pc
Boot your device into download mode and connect it to your pc via usb
Open a windows command prompt in the same folder as you've downloaded the twrp image file Use shift right mouse click in an open area of that folder and it'll give you an option to open a command window
From the windows command window run the command, fastboot boot twrp.img Note that twrp.img is the full name of the twrp image file you downloaded
Once you've booted into twrp you should be able to access your files on your device from your PC.

Thank you so much. I managed to get my photos back but I guess my phone is useless now. Also do threads need to be closed on this website or anything?

You can replace the screen. I've never done it but many others have. Google nexus 4 ifixit. See if you feel comfortable tearing your device apart and putting it back together.

[Q] nexus 4 Any way to copy data (broken touch input - physical buttons work fine)

Dropped my nexus 4 yesterday and it fell right on the edge of the screen shattering it. First time I've broken a phone, and this one seems like a particularly bad one to have broken - no reasonable price screen replacement with the screen attached to the digitizer.
Anyway the phone boots up and charges fine, but I can't unlock it, which means my computer isn't connecting to it. Is there any way I can save all of my photos and other files?
Is USB debugging enabled?

To be clear, I can't check because I can't get past the lock screen. I also have no way of turning the phone off, I just have to wait until the battery runs out and then I have one chance to turn it on. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do in recovery mode that might help?

Setup adb http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/
Plug the phone in while its at the lockscreen, and run "adb devices". If the command returns the serial number of the phone let me know and I'll give you further guidance. If it doesn't it'll take a bit more work but we should still be able to get it done.

Set it up, but no devices listed
It's frustrating because it's so tantalizingly close. I have a pretty good idea that when I send it in to LG they are probably just going to send a different refurb back. I find it hard to believe that they do a 1 to 1 repair job on each phone that comes in.

Alright. This is what you'll need to do: unlock the bootloader, flash cwm recovery, boot into cwm, use adb to copy the contents of your SD card to your PC.
Read this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266654 . only follow the parts to unlock the boot loader and flash clockworkmod custom recovery. Make sure that you flash the recovery right after unlocking (without rebooting in between) otherwise data will get wiped. )
After that boot into your newly flashed recovery and use "adb pull /data/media/" . this should copy everything on the internal sdcard of the phone.
Sent using xda-developers app
Search for how to unlock the bootloader without wiping all your data. Would be moot otherwise...
Of course if all that's been done in the past and you already have cwm/twrp, just boot to that and you'll be able to adb in.
Also, you can hold onto the power button for 10s to force it to power down.
EDIT: restarted and tried again, making some progress now.

Again, that's why we go into cwm/twrp. Insecure debugging is enabled there.
Awesome, it appears to be copying everything over now!
Can't thank you enough! Just saved a years worth of pictures and videos, that pretty much chronicle the start of my current relationship up to the present.
Of course right now it is just pulling all of the EA real racing data, but I assume it will eventually get to the pictures, haha.

Apologies, i was a bit rushed. So i'm trying to get all my pics/data off my phone as my screen is smashed and i had a pattern lock on. My phone did not have usb debugging enabled. So i unlocked the bootloader, didn't do a reboot, flashed a custom recovery and then entered the recovery. However, my device isn't recognised in windows once i enter recovery and as such when i run "adb devices" no device is listed.
In the original instructions, it says:
After that boot into your newly flashed recovery and use "adb pull /data/media/" . this should copy everything on the internal sdcard of the phone
So how come once I load my recovery, when in cmd prompt, "adb pull /data/media" doesn't seem to work?
I'll be honest, i'm a little lost at this point and just really don't want to lose all my pics and thought i could get them this way before sending my phone for repair/replacement (it is insured)

Before you can run the adb pull command, you'll need to get your phone recognized by "adb devices". Try installing Koush's adb driver.

[Q] Screen cracked with PIN, method to access files?

Hello, sorry for asking what is probably an oft asked topic.
So, my screen has shattered pretty badly along the front, but the lcd display and the physical buttons work, but sadly no touch screen.
My phone is:
NOT rooted.
USB debugging is NOT enabled.
Is there a way to access the files on my phone?
I have already taken a look at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415195

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266654
however, I am needed to have USB debugging enabled, to my understanding?
also looked at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2210955&page=4
but that too needs Clockwork recovery to be working?
Any other options?

That was the method used in the 3rd url posted I believe.
Unless stock recovery is a default recovery on the nexus 4 phones? However, when i fastboot, then, using volume controls, go to recovery, it gives me the message "no command"?
You use volume button and select recovery then it says no commqnd?

Ah, yes, I got that now! Attempted clear cache partition, and then use to "reboot now" button, however, when booting up, it recognizes it as a nexus phone, pop up the blank folder (as it is locked), and would not display a prompt to view files and folders, as other people have had happen to them.

Sorry, not sure what you mean. I have fixed my wrongly answered response above if it was referencing to that.
If you do know if you have adb installed on you're p.c then you haven't ?
Its part of the android sdk tools and will have to be downloaded and installed on you're p.c.
you can then run commands after installing it from the tools folder.
Just Google (Android SDK) and maybe watch a few YouTube videos then follow some of the excellent guides on here.

Hi guys!
I have a big problem with my LG Google Nexus 4: my touch is broken and i can't put the password. I tried to bypass the password searching solutions in forum of XDA Developers, but not successfully because i don't have root and USB debugging enabled. Any help for me? I can't use Factory Reset 'cause i don't have backup of my photos on my cellphone. This photos is really important and have a big emotional value for me.
Thanks for any help, guys!

If your bootloader is currently unlocked you can flash a custom recovery and pull stuff off, otherwise you're out of luck.
Have the exact same problem!!! I made a thread on it but no replies. atm my phone is working, screen started functioning randomly again... it cant be a software prob cos im on complete stock (root), must be hardware but it still randomly works

Please help! Big issue here

Hey all!
My wife's nexus 4 screen is just dead! Latest signs of life were some weird colors and black and white lines and now it's completely black.
The problem is that it's locked (pattern lock) and we cannot access the phone.
I tried many times to unlock it blindly but I don't know if it's registering touches or not.
The phone LED is blinking normally while I can hear apps notifications and calls ring normally but screen is always black.
I just want to access the internal memory to copy the important photos and some important files on PC.
As you know, a locked device cannot be accessed through MTP.
I dunno what to do, any help would be appreciated!
Fixing the screen in here will cost me around 200 to 300$ which is the device price! And I'm not planning to do so! I just want to access the internal memory to access the files and use my spare phone.
I know that also formatting the phone to original state will remove the lock but I can't find a way to do so while it's completely black!
Thanks!

Unplug your device from the usb and press and hold the power button go 15 seconds. That'll make sure your device is powered off. Then press and hold vol down and power until you feel it vibrate. Then release the keys. You should now be in the bootloader. Then press power up twice and then press power. That should put you into recovery. Then use adb pull to pull your data off.

The adb method failed on me 10 times although I was sure I'm in recovery mode!
Although I followed the steps exactly and I hear the "dong" sound on PC that the device is now connected,
adb devices command gives me nothing
and adb shell gives me error: no device connected
Of course to do that I have drivers installed and androidSDK too... I even followed an online guide to make sure I'm doing everything right...
I'm desperate now
Do you think these might work from bootloader instead of recovery?
If so could you please remind me how to reach it?
Thanks anyways man!

Google 15 second adb install xda. Try those drivers. It could be just a driver issue. Do use the command adb devices first and hopefully you'll get your device recognized. Once you do then use the adb pull
You won't be able to pull any files in the bootloader, you need to be in recovery.

OK, I've done this simulating a non-functioning screen:
1. Don't have the usb plugged into the phone. Make sure the device is off, press and hold power for 15 seconds
2. Press and hold vol down and power simultaneously, when you feel the vibration release both keys
3. Press vol up twice then press power. It should vibrate once as it enters recovery, give it 15 seconds to boot into recovery
4. Plug in the usb cable
5. Open a cmd window on your pc and type adb devices. It should recognize the connected device
6. If your device is recognized use adb pull /sdcard/ c:\sdcard Have the c:\sdcard folder on your pc beforehand
If your device is not recognized got to device manager and see if there is a usb port with an exclamation mark on it. If there is you don't have the drivers set up right. Right click on that usb port and go to update driver software, go to browse my computer and let me pick from a list on the computer. Chose android composite adb interface. It'll probably ask you if your sure, just say yes.

However, I am holding the laptop right now and I tried:

What could it be named?
I want the Internal memory.

Screen touch not working!!!

I've dropped my N4 yesterday and the screen cracked.
The screen itself seems to be working but the touch doesn't...
I need to backup it but cant access it from the computer because of the password.
So, is there any way to access the phone from the computer although it's locked or
a way to remove the password?
By the way, I have USB debugging enabled and my bootloader is unlocked...
reminder: no touch...
Please, I have really important stuff in that phone!!
Thank you very much! :good::fingers-crossed:
you cand save all the files on the internal storage using abd ,but you need to have "USB Debuging" enabled

If you have a custom recovery boot into it. Then
adb devices (to make sure you're connected to the phone)
adb pull /data/media/0/ c:\

If you can boot into your device try the commands I gave you from there. You have usb debugging enabled so it should work there too. The only problem is you could have to authorize the device with a screen touch.
Another alternative is from the bootloader
fastboot boot twrp.img ( where twrp.img is the full file name of the twrp image file)
That should boot you into twrp then you can use the adb commands.
