Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 with a broken LCD screen and i want to be able to control it via my computer and Samsung SideSync, the problem is i didnt have it installed on the phone before the LCD broke.
I tried my best and managed to install it on the phone via my google account on the phone (you can ask to push an app installation through the website) but i cant get to unlock the phone and launch the app cause the touchscreen might not work anymore.
I dont want to repair the phone screen but i want to be able to play games on it as i am streaming them on twitch.
So, last solutions are : buying a mhl cable and watch the screen, plug a usb mouse via OTG and blindly try to make the code, then watch the screen again over mhl and so on... until i can launch sidesync.
Or i might be able to flash a rom via odin which skips the installations basics and already got sidesync installed but, i dont know how to find one.
It might help but i do have another samsung galaxy s5 fully working.
I know how to do a full backup via the custom recovery installed on it, i know how to restore it on the other phone via the recovery ( but dead screen ) but i don't know how to restore the backup from that phone to the other one via odin.
And i don't even know if it would work ?
A little help would be appreciated.
Thanks alot ! Cheers
BUMP, i know there a solution less expensive than 200$ but can't figure it out myself.

hey guys is will need some help with this device im not kind of a noobie on this kind of things bcs i been working with several phones, like the veteran xperia10, galaxy ace, motoroi2, etc etc. but never with a tablet
here is what it happens a friend ask me if i can upgrade his sgt-p1010 to a newer version, honeycomb or maybe ics, i´ve read a lot of posts regarding this on how to upgrade it trough odin everything was fine until the reboot of the device, bcs by my mistake i flash a rom of the 7.7" tab and this one is a 7" only now the tab is not turning on, odin is not recognizing it, either samsung kies or the pc. buttons are not responding it wont charge and cant enter to download mode.
I REALLY NEED HELP FROM U GUYS, HOPE U CAN HELP ME
ps. srry for my english :laugh:
This kind of thing can result in the inability to boot which can only be repaired by the use of specific hardware, i.e. this could be a "hard brick". Then again, maybe it can be restored to working order by flashing it again (a "soft brick"). So the very first thing you need to know is, can it get to download mode?
Turn it off, if it's switched on, and charge it for a couple of hours,say four hours. Use the original charger connected to mains. It doesn't matter if it shows anything, or nothing on the screen, let it charge. This is to make sure flashing it won't fail because it doesn't hold a charge.
Now connect it to the PC with the original USB cable. Then after making sure it's switched off, switch it on by pressing the On/Off button, while simultaneously the Volume UP switch. Press them both at the same time, and keep them pressed! If you're lucky you'll get the yellow graphic with the download text. A phone symbol, an !, and a PC symbol is fine too. Even if it doesn't show anything, you may be in download mode, so install the right drivers, and hopefully Odin or Heimdall will recognise is, and will allow you to flash the right ROM.
well i already let it charge for all night long and nothing happens after i perfomed the flashing the screen was totally in black but it doesnt shoes anything i mean the tab was turned on, then apparently batterie dies and after that is not charging. already tried with the heimdall thing but it says that device is not connected.
I think that this is going to be a HARD BRICK
so do u thhink there is another way to solve it?????
or it will be necessary the JTAG stuff???? bcs i dont want to try that it seems that is very difficult to me bcs i dont know nothing about hardware jejejeje
You have installed the Heimdall driver? It's called zadig.exe. Then you have to go to download mode and connect the Tab to the PC with the USB cable. Then Heimdall hopefully will detect the Tab.
If there's no way software will revive the Tab, it's hard bricked and will need hardware to get it working again. There's this guy mobiletechvideos.com who will repair any kind of brick. Basically he uses the JTAG on the board of the Tab and a special box to flash the right ROM to the Tab, even when it's dead. Some here have tried the service, and they say he's quite reliable. Another way is to modify your Tab with Adam Outler's Unbrickable Mod. It's brilliant, you can't soft brick your Tab after that, but it involves soldering very small components on the board of the Tab. The mobiletechvideos guy can do it for you I believe.
Well, I guess you just got a hardbrick .
The only way to fix this problem is go to SAMSUNG SERVICE CENTER.

If touch screen doesnt work I dont think you can.
I have the exact same problem. After the latest update on my black tmobile G2 (d801), my touchscreen does not work at all. I had to get an OTG cable and connect a mouse to it to unlock the screen and do anything w/ the phone. Have done a factory wipe, as well as reflashed multiple different images, including reverting back to stock. Nothing works.
I found some programs that can make you control your mobile though PC but all of it needs a client to be installed on the phone, is there anyway to bypass this client or give a command to unlock the screen , wifi is turned on the mobile?
Hey there,
My LG D802 32GB just fall out of my car and the complete Display is bricked (I think Digitizer is also harmed) and I am not able to touch anywhere.
I know a lot about fastboot, adb and so on. But I do not really know much about this device, since I hadn't got the time to do so, too busy with other stuff. Unfortunately I disabled USB debugging a week ago after I finished some development stuff. And I just want to make a new backup (last one was a few weeks ago ) of my data before I try to repair anything or buy a new one.
I do not know why, but I cannot enter Stock Recovery (just keeps rebooting), Download Mode is working. Phone is also booting normally, just no way my fingers are recognized.
I tried to enter Recovery Mode (stock), to perhaps have adb access (don't know if it is so on d802), with Volume Down+Power, release when Logo appears and then press again, USB Cable was connected. I know i entered it once after buying this phone, but now I am not able to do so. Are there any special drivers which are perhaps missing (installed them with PC Suite, all upgrades were done with it, cause I do not like OTAs for several personal reasons).
Thank you very much for reading it and perhaps helping me!
just want to add something:
Also tried with LG Onscreen Phone, but also deactivated ...
Some recoveries can be used only with hard keys. Or use a mouse to navigate
Thank you for this great idea. Just ordered an OTG adapter.
What do you mean with hard keys? Volume Up/Down ?

Yes exactly. I think cwm can Do this
Ok backup done... Could have thought about this simple option too...
Hi all,
I made a really dumb mistake, a while ago I installed TWRP on my nexus 7 then downloaded and flashed Nethunter onto it (and no I didnt take a backup first, which was really silly), for a while I have had some issues with updating it, so after a few days of googling and not getting anywhere I thought the best course of action was to re-flash it. I then made another stupid mistake of formatting everything first only to find I had removed the ROM file from my Nexus.
So, I am now in the situation where I dont see a way I can get the ROM onto the device as it has no OS and doesnt power on (just get the Google Logo and doesnt go any further) I have tried inserting a USB external drive via the USB OTG port but the drive just makes a funny whirring noise and doesn't power on properly. I was going to try a USB key just to see how that would fair.
Can anyone offer any advice on how I can get the ROM onto the Nexus?
Thanks
Did you already try to boot into bootloader (vol- & power)? Probably you need to keep the buttons pressed for round about 20 sec. If you are getting there you can most likely go on, otherwise it will become more complicated.
actually managed to sort it, I found that I could side load the ROM using ADB, backup and running now

first of all, i'm sorry if i'm posting this o the wrong section (i'm new here seeking help)
second, I NEED HELP!
i tried using Dr. Fone for recovery and unlock but i'm getting "flash recovery packaged failed" on the end. when on recovery device mode, i can hear the new device/unplugged sound.
if only i can use OTG and mouse to enable USB debugging. but obviously i cant see. when i open the phone normally and try using screenshot, i can hear the sound. so that means that my phone is not dead and only have broken lcd/screen. i also cant open the device folder because its locked (i think its locked). i also looked some class a ldc/screen digitizer but its kinda expensive and going to technician doubles the cost. from this point, i don't know what to do anymore. i just want to get important pictures and video. been trying to find a solution for hours.
I have not seen a method to enable USB debugging without a working screen.
