I dropped my N6 a year or two ago, and it still worked fine with just the little line across the screen. A couple of weeks ago I dropped it again, and now the screen stays dark no matter what I do. I bought a new Moto X4 Android One for only a little more than I would've had to pay for a used N6 replacement.
Two problems: first, I really miss the N6. Second, I realized later that I have some photos on the N6 that I really want to get. I have TWRP installed, but had never worked up the courage to install an aftermarket ROM. Is there any way to get to my files without having the N6 repaired?
try to got to twrp recovery by doing this
power off the phone
then enter bootloader by pressing the power button + volume down button press together for about 3-4 second
then wait for about 3 second after that press volume down button two with 1second between press volume down button wait 1s then press it (to got to recovery mod) now press power button and connect you're phone with you're pc using cable after that you should see your device and all of youre file on youre pc

Well I didnt even do it on a rom flash. All I did was start installing MS net compact on my mda since I needed it to run a new program. As it was installing I hit the camera button while setting it on the desk by mistake and the screen slowly faded out to black. MDA wont restart now, wont even power on and I cant even get to the bootloader mode using the power button and camera button. GRRRRRRRRRRR Any ideas?
completely discharged battery?
no, fully charged. I said screw it and took a circuit board out of a busted screen mda I had laying around that I bought for 20 bucks off a guy. Of course the volume tab was broke off the slider in that one so now I dont have a way to use the slider. You just cant win I quess. It least it boots fine with the other board in it. Anyone know of a fix for a broke volume slider?
Take off the battery for half an hour or so, then try to start the WIZ again afterwards!
While removing the battery hold the power button and continiue to hold it for 30 seconds after you removed the battery! Leave the device without the battery for at least 30 minutes!
When placing the battery back in to the device hold the power button before doing so and keep holding the power button while putting in the battery. Wait a few seconds when done and try then to power on the device!
If nothing happends press and hold the CON button on the left together with the VOICE DIAL button on the right and make a reset while holding those buttons.
Let me know if it worked!
Do I have a brick too
I tryied to install a rom and after following all the instructions I made a hard reset then my phone stay's in the boot screen without continuing!!; my question is do I have a brick or there's a way out!!
thanks

This phone just broke after 3 months of use. Since I brought it off of amazon as unlocked, I do not have warranty on phone. The phone was not dropped nor water-damaged. It was sitting on the table and suddenly experiencing problems with lag. I proceed to turn off and try to restart phone.
The phone does not boot when I press the power button.
What I've tried:
case 1: I removed SD card, removed battery and removed USB cord. Press power button for 10 seconds. Put back battery and press power button
result 1: LED light on. The phone vibrates 5 times. Remains in black screen
case 2: I called my phone number from another phone
result 2: Straight to voice mail. This indicates the software did not even boot up. Hardware display is not the issue here. Most likely a Software issue.
case 3: I hold volume down key and power key to attempt hard-reset
result 3: LED light on. The phone vibrates 5 times. Remains in black screen
Since I routinely backed up my phone data. Last time I've checked (~4 days ago), the SD card was not nearly full. It was approximately 25% used space.
PLEASE HELP!! YOUR HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED!
Are you able to access any of the service menu's such as bootloader or fastboot mode?
If your not aware what those are, there are many references in this forum for you to find information.

No. The screen was all black. But fortunately, the phone was able to turn on after some trial and error.
You remove the battery and USB cord. Then while pressing (and holding) the home button key, you put back in the battery and press the power button. To hard reset, you must press volume down key, home key, and power key at the same time.
Glad that you got your phone working!
Mine continues to remain dead
I had this problem a few months back at first i too thought the phone was dead - but it did make boot vibration noise - but the screen would always remain "black" but after some time and after going into a very dark room i was able to see that the screen was not black, but that the backlight went out on it -- after having my screen replaced the phone now works fine - think i was using cm7 at the time.. hope this might help
Thanks for this tip! I'll check on the phone I had as well. I got to get it back from my buddy.

the strange is that the power + volume up together active the menu recovery, but than non work (vol. too)
and the warranty has gone few months ago, sometimes is less expensive buy a new one, but money and Portugal does mix in this last few times
I'm trying to goggle to find the hidden reset bottom but no luck until now
Hello, I hope this is the right forum for my question, sorry if I made a mistake. Anyway, my uncle bought this phone month ago in another country, everything worked fine until yesterday when LCD stopped working. After some time of trying to fix it, we concluded that if you press volume (up, down or both at the same time) button and then the power button, screen turns on and works for some time (couple minutes) but then goes black again. If you just press power button (without pressing volume button) it stays black but you can still hear it unlocks when you slide your finger across the screen, so touch screen works, phone works but LCD is black. I am guessing it's loosing connection but how does it turn on every time when I press volume button? It's very confusing. Phone was in a protective case since first day and it hasn't been dropped. Since it's bought in another country, it would cost more to return it there than to buy new one, so do you have any ideas? I have been replacing lcd screens for my friends last two years so I was thinking maybe I can disassemble it and check connections. Any help? sorry for my bad english

Hello there, I'm from Brazil, as my english may not be the best lol... So I have same phone as you and similar problem... The problem is that volume down doesn't work. Other buttons work fine though. Also, the phone always enters in safe mode, so I assumed the volume down button is being pressed all the time. Except that, I realized that I could enter in download mode (I tested, if I don't press volume down in the combo 'power button + home + volume down' it won't get into download) and if I press volume down to cancel it will actually cancel and restart the phone. So the button is working... Here is the part where I think the problem is similar. There was a time I turned the phone off, through the system as we normally do, and then it wouldn't turn on again. I realized it was actually turning on, but the screen was black. I tried entering download mode and tested on odin and it actually had entered download mode, but the screen was black... Then after several attempts it finally got back on again... So I think there is something related with the button circuit with the lcd, I don't know. I would like to know if you got to any solution there. I guess that instead of bringing you any solution I'm bringing another problem lol. Well if I have any other information I will post it here. Best wishes.
i have my phone for almost 7 months already. my phone went black and it wouldnt charge nor turn on. it wouldnt also turn on the LED blue light. been doing all the tips i can do. dont know if my phone is dead nor anything. cant feel no vibrate nor anything at all. i think my phone is dead dead. can you guys please help me. i got important phone calls and everything that i need to get it done. let me know asap. thanks!!!
If it doesn't charge, won't turn on, and doesn't vibrate, sounds like it's dead! Get in touch with Samsung about a replacement
Try a wireless charger
if you can charge it, can you get into download or recovery mode using button combinations?
Have you really tried *all* the possible 'tricks'? I remember the exact situation you just described happened to me a couple months ago. I left my phone charging overnight and when I woke the phone did not respond at all to any button smashing or resetting etc.. so what I did was, hold down the power button, Bixby button (not sure if that was necessary at all), and the volume *down* button all the same time (like you would press ctrl + alt + delete on a keyboard). I held it for 10+ seconds and at last my phone entered the recovery mode set-up which prompted me to press the volume down button once again to restart the phone. If you haven't tried this, give it a go!
