Basically, my SGS5 got electrocuted. There was a bit of water in port and it got shocked form charger. I quickly switched to UPS mode so I had 2 additional days of calls while I was searching for a replacement smartphone.
Then the battery died. A moment ago I have replaced port correctly and battery is back to life ... sadly middle of my screen is unresponsive. Left Right and top are working but middle and middle bottom doesn't. I don't know why that happens as it's in good condition on both sides.
The main problem is that I cannot unlock a phone with the pattern ... and I cannot factory reset him no matter what as I need the data and access to apps it has inside.
Is there a way to reset pattern lock? Bypass it or remove trough adb? UPS mode has disabled USB debugging by default if im correct. Or anything that would let me emulate him on my PC.
Phone is rooted running PhoeniX rom.
Thanks for any bits of advice.

no because UPS mode has usb debugging off ... all OTG features are disabled

Sorry to mislead you.
Then try this variant:
1. Flash TWRP with Odin.
2. Boot to TWRP.
3. Connect to ADB. Run "adb shell".
4. Remove lock pattern: "rm /data/system/gatekeeper.pattern.key".
5. Reboot the phone: "reboot".
No screen touching is needed at all
But it will work if you don't have /data encrypted and Reactivation Lock turned ON.

Hi
I have a nexus4 that has a broken screen, it is, it doesnt react to the finger touch, and doesnt have usb debug enabled
What could i do to extract the files from there?
I have seen that connecting a mouse via usb is not an option as this device is not compatible with that, so i think the only option i have is to flash the device to have usb debugging enabled
Is there any other option i can explore?
Thanks
I am sure that you can enter your recovery assuming that your power + vol button is still functioning.
Try to connect your device using Wug Tool and use the tool to back up all the files.
Give it a try and let us know.

Yes, i can get in recovery, but, i assume i would need to unlock the bootloader first, isnt it? If i do it, i will erase all the documents inside
Hi
I have tried getting into recovery, but, as expected, as usb debugging is not enabled, i cant see the device from adb
So, the key question is... how can i enable usb debug in a device with the screen broken and with bootloader locked, without wiping the data?
Thanks
It is possible to turn on usb debugging?
I have clean phone - after factory reset.
I just dropped my phone and the screen no longer works but the phone does. I plugged it into my computer but I remember that when I have done that in the past I had to change it from charging mode to MTP mode using the screen. Is there anyway to change the phone to MTP mode without using the screen so I can get my files off of the phone?
Thanks
Was USB debugging enabled before? and if yes have you authorized your computer for the phone before?

Hi all,
My Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935FD) has broken screen after a drop. The screen is black or flickering with green, but I think that it still reacts to touch. The firmware was upgraded to Oreo stock very recently, and the phone is not password or pattern protected. USB debugging is disabled (it has never been enabled) and the phone is OEM protected, so flashing a custom recovery with ODIN doesn't work (I tried). I'd like to backup the data, and I need to find a way to enable USB debugging for that. I see two options:
- Boot into maintenance mode to activate USB debugging in spite of the black screen, using physical keys. The thing is that I can't seem to boot into maintenance mode with that version of the phone following instructions found online (maybe this maintenance mode is specific to some versions or carriers, or am I missing something here?).
- Blindly activate USB debugging using an external keyboard. To do that, I would greatly appreciate help from one of you to know the exact sequence of keys.
Hope I can get this working!
Thanks
No one with a keyboard and OTG adapter to help me on that?
Thanks!
my nexus 6 will only charge no data transfer and pc wont recognize it. When i connect it to the pc it goes staright to charge mode and the usb trident symbol doesnt ever appear. In developer options usb configure is stuck in "charge mode" only. Ive tried different roms from pie to mm . i reinstalled bootloader and radio, tried twrp back ups and still the same. Had new charging port put in phone thinking that was the problem but didnt help. Ive searched google but couldnt find anything. Any Ideas, really appreciate it thx
When I installed stock rom which was android 7.1 it changed phone back to encrypted. Now i have to format internal drive in order to install a pie rom. Does anyone think that formatting internal drive might fix problem with not being able to do anything but charge phone from usb port, because if that doesnt fix it there would be no way for me to put any rom on my internal drive to install it.. Does anyone have any suggestions

Just to double check that adb devices shows your serial #. If not, it may be a driver issue.
Computer doesn’t see it, when I enter adb devices it doesn’t show up. Nothing shows up in device manager either: Also when I enter fast boot on the phone “power lower volume button” it says “connect usb data cable” I’ve trued numerous cables that work fine on my other phone. So it’s not the cable. After I plug them into phone it still says connect usb data cable.
I also have a thumb drive with a micro usb connecter that used to work on the phone. Now the phone doesn’t see it when you plug it in to the phone. But it works on my other phone so it’s not the thumb drive

It sounds like a driver problem. Is it a windows PC? Have you tried installing the Google USB driver? I've had similar issues, and reinstalling the driver(s) has worked for me.
It’s windows 10 and I reinstalled driver, other thing is in my car when I plug it in to the usb slot for android auto, it doesn’t show up in my car either and it used too.
It’s like the phone is stuck in charge only mode and I can’t get it out of that

When you connect your other phone to your PC, does its serial # show up in adb devices? If so, I'm out of suggestions.
1 more thing.. Have you enabled USB debugging in Developer Options?
Other phones shows up and in devolpers options in “usb configuration” you can set it to mtp but when you hit enter it goes back to charge only. I was on” aiop 14.0 rom” when it happened but it was working fine on that rom , then one day android auto kept saying connect usb, so when I got home I tried to plug it into pc and nothing. So I replaced charging port thinking that was problem but it didn’t help. Flashed other roms and even went back to stock, reflashed bootloader nothing helped. I was hoping someone here had seen this before cause I googled it and nothing like this could I find

Forget USB configuration for a minute. In developer options, under debugging, USB debugging needs to be enabled.
usb debugging is enable also. even tried turning it off and back on again, didnt help.
you know when you connect phone to pc and you normally see the usb trident symbol on your phone, well when i connect it to the pc i dont see that symbol it just goes straight to charging but even charging i should still see the usb symbol and i dont,
Hey guys, my phone had a fall from a height and the screen shattered and the phone has bent. Customer care is saying there's no guarantee that phone will work even after changing the display, as the phone is bent.
I can hear notifications, vibrations and alarm is also working.
But not able to connect the my phone to PC as USB debugging if not enabled, mobile to tv through hdmi will not work because of usb 2.0.
Can someone let me know how can I connect my phone to pc so that I can backup the data
Any additional details would helpful:
Is your bootloader unlocked?
Are you running stock ROM?
Are you comfortable using command line utilities such as adb and fastboot?
Welcome to XDA
In the future use a good case and always redundantly backup your data.
The chances of damage to the mobo is high.
High G impacts can internally damage chipsets and break solder joints including hard to inspect/repair BGA chipsets. This was a high G loading impact. A good case spreads out the G loading making severe impacts survivable.
Don't invest a lot of money in trying repair this device. Even if repaired future problems may occur with the original mobo. Replacing the frame, display and especially mobo are cost prohibitive.
Sorry but you're probably better writing it off.
@SMcC2 :
Is your bootloader unlocked?
No
Are you running stock ROM?
No
Are you comfortable using command line utilities such as adb and fastboot?
Not exactly, I tried installing adb command line and tried to see the devices connected using it after connecting the phone with usb cable. But I guess since the usb debugging was disabled it didn't worked. No experience with fastboot yet.
Any help in retrieving the data will be appreciated.
Thanks @blackhawk, my priority is the data retrieval, tried some softwares for days recovery but they all require usb debugging to be enabled and drive approvals on the phone which will not work as my screen is shattered and display is not working.
Buy another one and swap your board in is the only option is see. Then again, I have taken my OnePlus 6t apart many times. It's not the hardest phone to disassemble. But expect to pay about $100-200 and know the possiblity exists that your data is toast. Or find someone you are willing to trust to hook up your board, pull your data and wipe it. I should make that a service. Lol.
Edit: just for shiggles sake, how/where is it bent? A pic would definitely aide in determining the PITA level. I destroyed one OP6t I had in similar fashion, but had BL unlocked, USB debugging enabled, and custom TWRP recovery so the hardest part was paying the cost for a new one for my broken one.

According to these articles:
Can We Enable USB Debugging using ADB Command?
Is there a way to enable USB debugging from fastboot?
It may be possible to enable ADB by modifying your build.prop and persistent_properties from recovery.
I tested and I was able to boot to recovery via physical buttons and then connect to TWRP command line and pull the files they say need to be edited.
*NOTE* Editing these files is dangerous and could cause the phone not to boot properly.
My process was:
Hold Vol+ Vol- and Power until you feel phone reboot to fastboot mode(short vibration here)
Vol -, Vol -, Power (reboot to Recovery)
Wait a minute or two...
Connect USB cable
adb shell
twrp decrypt *passcode*
*NOTE* If you're using a PIN number you can use the alphanumeric digits, if you're using a pattern you will need the details from the bottom of this link:
TWRP Commandline Guide
adb shell
mount /system_root
adb pull /system/build.prop
adb pull /data/property/persistent_properties
Open files in Notepad++, Make the edits, etc....
