A few weeks ago I rooted my ATT 800o phone, and even attempted to install TWRP. It gave me a compatibility error with 800o so forgot about TWRP. A week ago, the phone fell and the screen cracked, rendering the phone useless. It works perfectly fine, but I cannot enter the pin code since the digitazer is probably broken.
I tried LG PC suite and LG OPS or OTS (I forgot), and it doesnt see any USB device connected. I believe I left the phone in JUST CHARGE USB mode.
I need to access some files on the internal SD card, so I ask for suggestions on what to try next.
Assuming I can get it in download mode, which I should be able to, should I flash the stock LG firmware (800d) and then try to get into it that way? Will that wipe the files of the sd card (pics, application data, etc)?

I had the same problem, but I manage to use LG on screen app. But never mind, I sent my phone to LG, of course I paid for broken screen (now I have ballistics case, I hope it will be enough for future impacts), But I include a note with the phone and wrote that LG will only replace screen but not delete any data or reinstall soft, and they did I revived my phone in the same state as I send them, but screen was new of course

an OTG cable is a USB cable witch plugs in your phone but has a female end on it to allow you use things like a keyboard mouse USB drive controller etc.

@ clapper66, I don't understand how otg cable can help in his case.
@ OP, if you're in luck which OnScreen Phone feature has been ON as well as wireless, you then can use OSP with wireless mode.
Other than that, I don't know any way to mimic your phone on another display.
Worst case, send out to repair.

His screen is not broken the digitizer is cracked so the screen works but does not recognize touch. So of he uses an otg cable with a mouse then he can go under setting then go to PC connection then select MTP mode so that when he connects a USB Cale that's plugged into his PC it will show all the internal storage of his phone and get all his files off that he needs.

Well I know you can buy them online that's where I got mine, but I would check at some electronics store like RadioShack or bestbuy and maybe wall mart I think there like $5 to $10 or even go to your carrier.

Thank you for the idea of the cable, but I want to try something first. I want to flash it clean so as to remove the exchange pin and hopefully get into it that way. I want to possibly sell the phone, so I have to wipe it anyway. If I don't recover the files, not a big deal (i hope...).
My thinking is...flash it back to stock clean, and see if I can change the USB connection parameters enough to connect. Then I can recover my files, and then maybe I can sell it. It is presently rooted without recovery. How do I flash it back to stock?

ANy idea why this might be happening>?
Let me consult my tea leaves...
Nope. Sorry, I don't see anything there.
Could you provide a little more information?
Let's assume that both phones are in Download mode.
Let's also assume that you've restarted Odin each time a separate phone is plugged into the USB cable, instead of having the same Odin process try to talk to the 2 separate phones.
Let's assume it's the same USB cable, same port, same computer, and same drivers.
All you assumed is correct and I still cannot connect the other phone to odin. It won't recognise it. It does see mine right away though

I need to take my phone back to sprint, seems there is a hardware problem with the phones charging circuit. it will not mount to the computer, it will sort of charge, but if you unplug the cord, it just thinks its still charging. if you turn it off, it either just stays off until you pull the battery or sometimes it just reboots itself. it will not charge when off etc.
I tried 3 different roms so I know its not the rom.
So odin is out. I have bonsai rom and clockwork mod on the phone. I don't think thats a good idea to take it to sprint like this. is there anyway to get it back to stock?
anyone help please?
Just to make sure, have you tried putting it in download mode? It doesn't necessarily need to mount to computer for odin to recognize it.

yea, odin is a no go, thats the problem i tried odin on two different computers, you want to know how screwed up this thing in? sometimes it boots up and thinks its in car dock mode.
Try a different USB cable? If odin is just impossible, remove sd card, take a short piece of wire with bare ends, have phone powered on, and short whatever you find on the back, fry the board. Sad, but gotta take it out back and put a bullet in its head.
Really though, IF the Sprint employee even notices, chances are they won't say anything anyway. Never did for me.

how much does it cost for them to fix it? tried 2 different cables and i know they were working, i know its not the cable because, when i plug in the charger, it doesn't ring up usb debugging when that is selected and you only supposed to be able to deselect or select usb debugging when the cable is out, but I can toggle it on and off with the cable in or out.

since i'm rooted and they would be foolish not to notice i'm rooted and it seems there is no way for me to unroot or go to a stock rom, would it be better to just brick the thing? i hate to do that do to the fact that then i'm stuck without a phone. Plus what if I brick it and they find out it was rooted? can they do that?
If its truly bricked, no they can't. Them knowing its rooted isn't that big of a deal, they'd either attempt to revert it to an official build anyway, or they'll tell you they can't take it that way, as in bring it back stock.
I've taken in 2 Epics for hardware issues, one was screen, the other keyboard. Both were rooted, one was on stock build and the other on custom rom. They restored stock software to the custom rommed phone before they decided the screen was actually broken lol

While that would be the "smart" thing for a company to do, Sprint's official policy on rooting is that they will revert it to stock if they see that it's rooted during any repairs.

apparently the policy has changed, as after waiting an hour and a half, they came back and said its rejected because it was flashed and i lack common sense apparently when I mentioned that it doesn't say anything about that anywhere.

Try taking it to an indirect dealer service center. Those people really don't care about things like that. I'm one of those people. I realy couldn't care. I just fix it and send it out.
Long story short, bought a DX at a good price hoping to flash and sell. Here's the best part, the phone will not charge or be reconized when its on by a PC. To makes things worse...I factory reset it hoping it would take care of the issue and when it boots, it boots to no home screen (black screen, white top bar). I can't sbf, can't load the home screen and it wont charge when on. It does charge when the phone is off.
Anything I can do? I just don't understand why it will charge when off but not on and because of that, there is no connection to the PC so no way of sbf'ing. Phone is currently 2.2, 30.03 bootloader.
Any help would be appreciated!

i was just thinking of something. you may not need to do what i suggested in the pm i sent you.
try this FIRST!!!
charge the battery (obviously) and power up the device. if you cannot see the screen plug in a hdmi cable to your tv.
press the Menu key when you're at the Home screen or a pane, then select Applications -->Development. USB debugging to turn it OFF.
if it is already off....then turn it on.
either way hopefully when you plug it in the drivers will install to your pc. if not then follow the directions i sent you in the pm. goodluck.
note: i do not know if it will work as i do not use hdmi on my device. but hopefully it displays the homescreens on your tv.
In reality I really don't know where else to go I know that there is normally every time that you connect your phone it leads you straight into the Usb Storage now when I connect it.

What data are you trying to backup? I would go into recovery, wipe data/cache, reflash the ROM, then test it.
You can backup apps/settings with titanium backup before you wipe.

Good advice actually. Scrubbing it with a dry toothbrush + using a a brand new 3 inch USB cable made the sucker finally connect.

Yep, had to take a knife, brush, and alcohol swabby to mine.
So my S4 took its last drop last night and I was trying to get my pics and music off. The phone shows up on my PC but since it is locked I can't access my data. Is this possible to recover the data before I toss the phone away? What about a usb to HDMI will that let me see the screen so that I might be able to unlock it? Any help would be much appreciated.

I don't know if you want to try this before throwing it away, but I changed my wifes s3 screen for 7 bucks with a screen from amazon. Came with all the tools and checked how to on youtube. Took 45minutes but it was badly shattered. Just an idea.
If you have anyone that has the same phone just switch motherboards once you are done swap them again
