Looking for a creative solution here. It seems I have a perfectly functioning phone that won't display anything but a short flash of light around the edges of the screen. Capacitive touch works, can feel the haptic feedback. Phone rings, can be answered if you swipe in the right place. Just no display.
I need to send it to Samsung for warranty repair, however I'd like to grab a NAND backup first because they are sure to wipe it. To do that, I need a display! I'm rooted with custom recovery, of course. Can I gain screen control with an app similar to ODIN? If I purchase an MHL to HDMI adapter, will it automatically start showing my screen output on a TV? Is there something else I'm not thinking of?

This might be a long shot but you could try to connect the phone to a tv or monitor. I haven't used it yet. I've not had the money to pick of an adapter or whatever you use. I plan on it though. Either way, I'm assuming it should automatically display on your screen, like typical plug and play devices. Either way good luck. I you could try remote applications, but I'm not sure on how you would get them installed without writing it into the application apk.

[email protected] was exactly what I was lookin for and did the trick right away! The only pre-requistite was to have USB debugging turned on, but who of us doesn't? I can now see me screen echoed on the PC and will attemt a backup before I send it off to be molested by Samsung warranty repair.
Can't figure out if there's a way to mark your reply as the solution, but I thanked you!

It's not in the play store because you don't install it on your phone. It's a Java app, hopefully the forum will allow me to link it: http://droid-at-screen.ribomation.com/

if it still runs then great - but how can you configure it to enable ssh, some kind of a share, or even usb access, without a screen?
can you use it by plugging an hdmi monitor to it? ( don' tknow if your model has hdmi out)
First of all thanks to reply ^^
Yes it still run (or it seems to run ^^) and the "how?" is the the question that i ask ^^
I will try to plug it to an HDMI monitor but I think it will not work (to make the external screen work you have to use a button, that i can't use without screen).
The only thing i've done is going in recovery and use the flash disk with my compute. If only we could make our self .aos i could make a one that accept SSH access, and then the work will be done, but we can't
hmmm.... that's a tricky one then.
Without trying to sound negative, all I can think of is to get another one, take both of them apart to get access to the screen connectors, attach working screen to yours and do whatever programming changes are needed so that when you power it on you can access it or vnc control it from another machine by default without having to touch anything. then put the other one together again and return it to the store or give it back to your generous friend who let you borrow it for the weekend
and no - I'm not that generous ;-)
There may be some other brilliant method but I certainly don't know of it in standard android.
I have bought another one (i was addicted to this thing ^^) but ... open it wil break the garanty so i'm not sure. Maybe i will wait some time before doing this (or wait another idea) but thanks, it's a really good idea ^^
If you can see anything on the screen you can get a wireless keyboard mouse combo to use the device. If you can't see anything you might have a pretty hard time and a lot of guess work flashing a custom kernel with SSH enabled by default. Does angstrom have SSH enabled?
Also not really android dev...

Nothing visible on the screen, only white :S And for Angström I don't know.

Cool, I agree about the warranty issue if you own the second 101 yourself.
My suggestions were slightly illegal (buy then return to store "I don't want it after all so would like a refund" LoL) or just not very nice ("thanks, I liked borrowing that over the weekend to play games" LoL).
Wait as long as possible in case someone more clever can help you out.
But I'm glad that my ideas weren't completely crazy anyhow
Cheers,
Don

Hmm, seems like you could flash it with a cooked Uruk configured how you wanted it so that it would work with ssh/vnc from a straight boot. I'm trying to think of the steps that would be involved and if you would need a working screen.
If you knew the exact location of the menu items on the Uruk install you could do it without the screen (press vol down twice, then enter; next step press vol once, enter, etc - these are just examples, obviously). I think Uruk comes with ssh enabled by default. I could be wrong or missing a key step you can't do blindly, just thinking out loud here.
I've never used UrukDroid, but if someone here knows the steps it would be very, very nice! Thanks in advance and Thanks for your help.
Pull apart the broken one and see what the make/model of the screen is and then see if you can buy a new screen.
You could also contact Archos and buy a screen from them.
Thanks, yes I think i'll try to do that ^^
Same problem ...
Broke my screen too!
I'm trying this route ... EBAY - cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230598268646
Cheaper but you have to use Western-Union: item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=9004146795
I dropped the http : //. I'm new to the forum and they do not let new members post links. I assure all that I have no connection to either link. In fact, I'm still waiting for my purchase from EBAY (it's only been a week or so from over-seas). I obtained the second link from forum(.)archosfans(.)com and had contact with them - they wanted $77 USD plus shipping and payment via WesternUnion. I chose EBAY because I felt I had more financial protection.
Hi all,
So, despite being careful I inevitably dropped my shiny Galaxy S2. I was more than unlucky though, and it fell in the path of a revolving door! End result is a smashed screen but working device. Nope, no insurance and I bought it without contract so I've lost a lot of pennies.
However, I am hoping to save something from this. I'm typing on my old desire so excuse the brief initial post bit I'm hoping I can at least not let the phone go to waste...
I have the MHL to HDMI cable and using this I can see the phone started ok and the pattern screen is displayed, so far so good!
However the screen doesn't respond to touch. Bummer.
So my thought is this: I've seen that you can hook up a Bluetooth mouse to the phone ... I'm wondering if I can pair a Bluetooth mouse before the pattern lock using adb and thus have a phone I can leave connected to the TV, use a mouse with and still get some use out of.
What do you guys think?
Cheers!
Its actually very doable.The problem is how to pair the mouse
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Indeed, that is very much the problem! I would hope that once its paired it will all be plain sailing, but trying to get it paired in its current state is the crux of it
Why not buy a new screen?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Mostly because they are almost as expensive as the phone itself... That and it's not just the screen, the surrounding frame is also quite badly damaged. I figure if I wait till after xmas I can probably get a new S2 for a similar price as I would be paying for just the screen now. I have my old desire which is keeping me going in the meantime.

can't you just perform a hard reset? It can be done through recovery and only requires hardware buttons.
Should take care of the unlock code part, not?

Hi swiftshifter...
Yes, this is an option to get rid of the unlock part but I'd rather not hard reset if there are alternatives. I'm keeping this as a backup.
I still need to figure out the send event stuff though because I'll probably need this to 'press' the buttons required to pair a mouse.
I think my biggest hurdle at the moment, or the biggest win if I can get it, is to enable debugging mode whilst the phone is on normally as suggested in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17910067 But I haven't had a chance to try this yet...
How about going into your market account from PC and remotely install VNC server? One problem though.. how to automatically start the VNC server...

A good idea! But yeah, hindered by the same issue. I think long term I'd prefer the bluetooth mouse but for the sake of setting everything up VNC on there would probably make life a lot easier! Can't believe I hadn't though of it to be honest!

Hello
Before you ask, I have searched high and low for a solution for this, trying different attempts, so here is my thread. If you find or know of another thread with the magic solution, please link me and I will thank you eternally
Me and my girlfriend have just got back from holiday and I broke the screen whilst we were away. I need to recover the data from the sdcard as it has all our holiday photos.
It is the LG Nexus 4, running the latest, STOCK, untouched Android 4.2.2.
Potential Problems
Mobile Data & WiFi is disabled - holiday so they were turned off
Screen touch / digitizer does not work
Stock Android 4.2.2
USB debugging is OFF
There's a daily alarm set which is p** me off!
Please, any suggestions?
Thanks, Josh.
As an update to this, Wi-Fi IS turned on, so I can use the online playstore to update an app, but cannot use the touchscreen and so access the app etc.

Untouched device with USB Debugging off. No way to crack this (as far as I know). A very similar issue, but still no solution. You may read this, or this.
To unlock, simply get your touchscreen fixed. No other way. Sorry mate.

My LG G2 recently fell and cracked the screen to the point where I cant see it or the screen doesn't pickup any movement from my fingers. I was able to get a micro usb to usb and plug a mouse in and guess where the mtp mode was so I could at least get my photos off which was successful but I still have important things on it that I need to get. I need to basically be able to control a mouse while the phone is connected to my computer so I can use MYPhone Explorer to extract that data off of it. I understand that you cant use a otg for a mouse and then also have the phone connected to the computer. SO my question is if I use this http : // dckina . com /index . php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6_228&products_id=1619 (remove spaces) will it work? It says MHL but the lg g2 is slimport I believe. If this isnt compatible is there a MHL to slimport adapter? Or is there any other way I can get the information off of it? Please any help would be grately appreciated, Thank you!

And one more thing would there be a way to accept a pop up window on the LG G2 to accept access to my computer beacause myphone explorer needs me to press ok so it can connect to it and recieve data, but the screen is broken so is there a way to with the back volume keys maybe?

If you can aquire a mhl cable for your s7 you will be able to output the video output of the s7/edge to a tv/display. Just search mhl cable for s7 edge on amazon or ebay and you should be good to go.
Edit: just read the s7 and the s7 edge don't support mhl so you might be out of luck.

Original answer deleted. I'm a complete idiot. I should have checked but believe I was given incorrect information from my sprint sales person on location of reset. Sorry.
I turned off the phone many times.
Phone works fine, just the screen doesn't. I found a lot of forum posts for this problem it seems common...
I didn't root this phone.
Now, I finally know what's the hole for LMAO! What does happen if I poke it? Update: Hey, that hole is not used for resetting the phone. It's for noise reduction.
I don't think this will help on a broken screen anyway.
slaldrich said:
i assume you turned your phone completely off and on again (not just the screen).
If you did that, did you try a reset? There is a little hole on the top of your phone and in your box, you received a little tool. Poke the hole and hold it in until something happens (a few secs). This sort of reset is like pulling the battery. You should not lose any data in doing this.
If you created this problem by trying to root your phone unsuccessfully... Then you will probably need to odin new stock software.

please dont put anything in that hole. This is not a reset button............... ITS A MICROPHONE and that tool its design to open the sim card bay.

Just wish I could save this data...
Is your screen experiencing this?
http://i.imgur.com/iOmtR2T.jpg
If so, it's a defective screen.
I got mine replaced already since it was under 30 days replacement guarantee. You can read more about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3359221
But the bad news is you won't be able to backup anything. I had to sacrifice a lot of stuff as well.
This is exactly what my screen does look like! And I did not only had problems with the screen, I wasn't able to get my carrier's settings automatically, I have problems with the charging, it won't display my phone number in the settings and also sometimes the camera app freezes. I installed the updates which didn't change anything. This new smartphone which doesn't even has a tiny scratch, never fall down is totally wrecked. Really disappointed about this "top high end" phone. I don't trust, that it will work after they "repeard it". I have it since release.
It's like really a huge amount of data... Of one app it is everything from 2 years (7GB)! There is no possibility to create a backup, you can just send the data to a new phone via WiFi that's all. If your phone breaks everything is lost.
I realized many app developers don't take enoughh care of backup solutions.
Yesterday the screen got back to life but just for a short moment
So it seems like there is no way to get back this data...
Can I get back my WhatsApp backup at least? I was able to create a backup before the screen died. When I plug in the phone to PC I can see "Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge" in my explorer an that's about it. When I click on it there is no content to show.
I just got an idea how to enable the god damn USB debugging!
Can someone share here how to connect the device as a mass storage to PC (by screenshots please)!
I was just thinking, I can work my way to the Developer Options by taking screenshots but I need to access the media for this!
When I connect the device to PC and then click on Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge it's empty... There most be done something before.
Thanks!
You guys can call me a ****ing genius! I managed to install Teamviewer by taking screenshots and look at them on the PC (I set up the device as mass storage blindly) so I knew what to do next. It was still tricky but possible.
I'm recovering my data now.
Thanks to the Google voice app I was able to type in "Teamviewer"

It wasn't really easy dude... The most difficult was to make this damn thing work as a mass storage device. So I could finally have access to the data on the Windows Explorer.... I was just touching on the screen like a maniac!
But this is a way to do it guys. If you own a Galaxy S7 Edge I recommend to activate USB debugging and install Teamviewer quick support (Samsung version, there are different editions) just in case the screen breaks. lol I install Teamviewer on all my devices now...
Hey! The same thing just happened to my phone an hour ago. Green grassy screen. It's terrible!
Ok, so what were the steps you took in order to get to where you can turn on USB debugging and backup your phone?
Well, what happens when you connect your phone to your Computer (USB)? If nothing, then you need to check connect the device as camera or mass storage, blindly! Which is kinda tricky... You need to pull down your notification bar and then select the USB options thing and in this menu which pops up you need to select camera or mass storage... But once you get that done, you're good to go! You will be able to take screenshots and view them on your computer instantly. You don't really need to care about USB debugging, you can just get Teamviewer Quick Support (for Samsung) that is really important, the normal version won't work!

Thanks for the reply. It actually looks like my issue was much worse. My phone degraded pretty quickly, since I wrote my post. It got to a point that while I could type on my lockscreen, it wouldn't go past and enter the OS. I didn't even have a green screen anymore, the screen turned to an off black. At that point, I gave up and sent it in for repairs. I think the motherboard got fried.
