I've used WP7 for a couple weeks, but somehow the touchscreen stopped working.
So, I decided to restore stock rom and go to service center.
However, it cannot be connected to the computer.
I went to USB Flasher mode, and then connected USB cable to computer and run RUU as administrator, but it shows "ERROR(264): connection."
I am using MAGLDR v1.12.
I really need to restore stock rom asap. Could please somebody help me?
Also, I've heard I need to install original SPL. Where can I find that?
Self answer: I should have gone to bootloader screen, not usb flasher mode.. Problem fixed.
I dropped my N4 on the ground this past weekend and it now has both a shattered front and back glass. The digitizer does not work so I can't use the touchscreen at all.
Here's what I can share about the status of the phone:
It is still on, I can see the screen, and is fully charged receiving messages.
The power button and two volume buttons work.
The phone's storage is encrypted with the stock android encryption.
I have a 4-digit PIN enabled on the lock screen.
The phone did not have USB debugging enabled when this occurred.
I've tried to mount it to a computer to get the files, but nothing shows up as I believe I need to unlock it with the PIN before it will mount.
I can install apps remotely from the Play store.
I have the Sophos mobile app installed and configured but I don't believe there are any commands to UNLOCK the device, only to lock it and wipe it.
Honestly, I just want my data off of the phone and would rather not replace the screen and continue using it. I love the phone but it is way too fragile. Is there any way to transfer my data? I looked into connecting a mouse to the usb and using that to enter the PIN, but the N4 does not support mice. Since USB debugging was not turned on, I can't connect via ADB. Is there some sort of app I can remotely install from the play store to turn on USB debugging? Is there some sort of app I can remotely install to remotely unlock the device with my 4-digit PIN? If I let it die and then try to boot into recovery, will ADB work then? If so, how would I get the data off of the device if it is encrypted? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Is it running a custom recovery?
If yes, just go into recovery and do a nandroid, boot back into android and copy the backup.
If no, there's a thread somewhere with instructions on how to unlock your bootloader WITHOUT wiping your phone.
Unfortunately this is the only android phone I've ever owned that I haven't touched and left completely stock... No custom recovery, no custom ROM. I'll try to look for the instructions on how to unlock the bootloader without wiping the phone, but if I do a nandroid and boot back into android how will I transfer the data? I'd be stuck at the screen where I have to type in my encryption password, and even if I got past that I still can't mount the device in Windows to transfer the data?
Anyone?

The only way I can think is flash an advanced version of cwm (if it doesn't already have one) that has a file manager and make a backup, and copy the recovery to a location on the SD. Then mount USB storage and copy everything over.
Edit: actually, you could mount USB storage in cwm to copy files over, then make a backup through adb on to your computer, there's some tutorials on how to do that

as far as I know no. In bootloader mode is only fastboot, not adb

what i dont understand is how you cannot connect the phone with mtp... that should work without debugging.
EDIT: sorry, youre right, when the device is encrypted, you have to unlock it before mounting.
looks like you made pretty damn sure there is no way for you (or anyone else) to get access to the data on your device :/
although i dont know about unlocking without wiping. maybe that could work.

Google search a program called Motorobo; equivalent to what service providers use.

Hello,
After installing the AOSP based ROM when I returned STOCK version 4.2.2 device lost all ability of connecting to a computer and the WIFI connection as well. I tried every possible way such removal and new installation of all drivers + ADB change from MTP only charging etc. and so on, I've discouraged and need all the help please,
Thanks to all the help I'm really stuck here.:crying:
So as the title suggest, my screen is working but not recognizing touch. Basically useless.
Device is rooted, Usb debugging is enabled but RSA Key is not authorised to this pc.
Stock Lollipop with custom kernel.
Problem 1 -
I am already with CWM recovery. From what I have read from cwm recovery I must be able to get access to adb recovery mode so I can backup my app data from system but the device stills shows "Unauthorized" in recovery mode. I dont know why this is happening?
Problem 2 -
I bought the OTG USB Y Cable thinking I might be able to install a differnet kernel that support otg through external power source but then I read that most kernel require to manually enable the option in settings/tweaker app for OTG SUPPORT. I cannot do this becasue as i said my screen is not working.
Please help me out.
Does your computer recognize the phone in bootloader? If so I would suggest you flash twrp and then try booting to recovery. Then you can check if your computer recognizes it now.

Yes.
Already did that and it did work.
Was able to backup few imp. data.
I just have one more question -
Is there some kernel which support otg in Lollipop without me manually going into settings/tweaker app for kernel and enabling it?
Because I cannot do it manually coz the screen is broken.
Hi,
I am an a custom ROM and I was planning to go back to stock ROM. All of a sudden I am not getting any USB options on my device and my device isn't being recognised by my PC.
Even my SIM is not being recognised.
I am stuck without a phone now. Need help urgently. :crying:
