Hi to everyone.
I can't access the bootloader console on my device. If I do the hard reset combination of volume down and power or if I try to access via the command *adb reboot bootloader*, the screen of my device goes black. I can't access the recovery or flash anything. I've already tried the Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant but it can't connect with the device. Can anyone help me please?
I suppose you can't boot your device? What did you do before that happened?

Hi all,
I have a particularly tricky case here. A OnePlus 3T with a broken screen (its black, can't tell if its registering taps) which I need to recovery data (photos) from. Normally I'd just use ADB but of course usb-debugging isn't enabled. I've tried rebooting into recovery... hold the power button and vol-down until the phone vibrates, keep holding for a few seconds. Then wait. Then vol down twice and power again to hopefully select English but the when I try
Code:
adb devices
nothing comes up on the list.
I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas how I can recover data/photos from this device.
One again the facts are:
-OnePlus 3T
-screen is broken, black, doesn't display anything
-usb-debugging is NOT enabled
-i can see the device in fastboot mode (boot w/ vol-up+power)
Thanks!
Maybe try a mouse with OTG. Would be horribly difficult i guess. But can probably work.
Also with any recovery, it would require your pin to enter the recovery (for decrypting the partitions); so that's a no go.
All you can try is to just boot the phone normally and try any input with an external mouse with OTG. Bring it to a point where the phone is powered on and unlocked so that you can copy data off the flash storage in MTP mode.
Ps: why don't you try to normally boot the phone and use fingerprint unlock?
did you trying with this link?

Using this tutorial in this case would make no sense, since the damage is physical and this way you're going to lose all the data currently stored on the phone.

if you have no usb-debugging and cannot see screen you are out of luck. same thing happen to me. the only thing that worked was I had twrp recovery and was able to boot into it. Recovery by default is in mtp so you will be able to see all your folders and transfer pics or backup files. last resort was to send it to oneplus repair which will cost about 100 bucks and you will get your phone back within 7 days remember to tell them to not reset phone because they will if you dont. good luck
You can also recover the data very easy through data recovery softwares. No usb-debugging and cannot see screen you are out of luck. I also have to face same problem the only thing that worked was I had twrp recovery and was able to boot into it.
You can try to flash TWRP in fastboot, then reboot recovery via fastboot command. MTP would work unless a pin is required in TWRP.
I can feel the situation,the phone doesn't work properly.
I was unlocking the boot loader on Yureka, while doing this, I unlocked it successfully, loaded the recovery image as well. But when I unplugged the phone from the USB mode to flash it (by entering the recovery mode) the phone didn’t get into recovery mode by pressing the volume down+power button. It did vibrate and the YU logo was visible, but then again a blank screen. When I hold the power button, phone vibrates and the logo is visible, but then again the screen goes blank. PC doesn’t detect any USB device connected. How to flash the phone now?
Thanks.
This most probably happens if ur battery is dying,
Better try a new battery to test if phone boots or not....
Or try flashing COS12.1/stock firmware...if ur device is soft-bricked....
If adb can't recognize ur device, try some YouTube vids, to see how to recover bricked device.

My display is broken. I can't see anything on my Samsung Galaxy A40.
From the internal storage I would like to backup the pictures and videos.
USB Debugging is not activated.
When I turn it on it vibrates. So the phone seems to work.
But I can't see anything and therefore can't enter my PIN.
Is there any way to access the data without using the screen?
Is the bootloader unlocked?
Then you can fastboot boot twrp.img
And you should get a root shell to backup /sdcard folder

I have the same situation on my device. However I can't upload a new recovery image as the bootloader is not unlocked. Did you managed to recover your data somehow?

That's a big mistake my friend. Always remember first thing to do when you get a brand new device is to unlock that bootloader and enable USB debugging! It can come in very handy in such situations.
I'm afraid the only option for you is to look for a temp root shell PoC in the Sony cross device development section
Good luck!

This site shows the option to connect A40, if still Android 9.0, via usb hub to external screen and mouse and unlock. For Android >10 this doesn't work anymore
I have the same issue and neither usb-debugging on nor fastboot enabled. A40 doesn't show up in adb. So I also read when putting A40 via Power and Volume up into download/recovery mode, at least a backup of data should work.
My current idea is I have to replace display in repair shop or unlock via usb-hub + mouse.
Something I don't get right. How do you power off the A40 without screen to get safely the SIM card out? Power and volume down 7 sec, then release power off, then volume down? When I do this the A40 reboots with vibration. Power and volume up apparently reboots to recovery mode. Long pressing Power also doesn't turn off A40. Also in the A40 manual nothing is written on this
Phone was dropped, black screen nothing to see. The phone however works. I can boot into recovery and even start adb sideload. When doing so, it shows up on my PC with adb devices. However, that is as far as I can go.
The device has a sim and pin lock, obviously I know both code. Is there any chance to recover data (contacts and images) from the phone. Grateful for any hint or a solid idea. There are plenty of posts on the web telling I should connect via adb and unlock the phone but when connecting in recovery mode it does not show up on adb devices or fastboot as the developer-mode was never enabled.
I did also try commercial software (i.e. dr.phone) but the phone doesn't show up their either.
I've the same problem. Did you were able to recover the data?
No, I ended up having the phone repaired in one of the repair shops. I was able to recover all data. Now I use the phone as a backup and for programming and experiments....

so i need to somehow revive my redmi 7a from its grim state. Everything started with scuffed attempt at downloaded system update that resulted in a loop of turn on-update up to some %-freeze-repeat. when i tried to do something with it it resulted in total hard-lock. all my phone can do now is turn on greet me with a logo screen with android at the bottom then that same screen without the android logo and it stays there for indefinite amount of time. fastboot's not opening so does recovery mode, all that i can do is turn it on and stare at the logo screen. please somebody help

does this mean you have tried the power-button + volume-up to enter recovery mode and the power-button + volume-down to enter fastboot-(bootloader-)mode?
i once had success with a bricked redmi by pressing the combinations for about 3 minutes until it managed to enter recovery mode. and make sure that your phone is completely full charged.
have you already tried the "Mi_Flash2020" application for Windows? here is the link: https://c.mi.com/in/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
rom files if needed: https://c.mi.com//miuidownload/detail?device=1900369
maybe the "miflash_unlock..." application could also help you. i think it uses fastboot but give it a try. here is the link: https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html (if you have unlocked bootloader make sure you to uncheck the "lock device" option at the bottom)
more questions if you can't solve it:
is twrp installed?
was there an original miui rom intalled?
was it a ota update?
