How to backup data on broken screen device - Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers

Hello !
I recently have an accident with my Samsung Galaxy J5 2017 (SM-J530) and now the screen is totally broken, he stay black.
But I think the phone is always working , because it vibrate when I force reboot with power and volume down buttons.
I would like to recover my datas because i didnt save them with my google and Samsung accounts.
I know that the USB debugging is enable and probably OEM unlock (not really sure, don't remember).
I tested ADB commands and the device is detected but unauthorized because I can't allow acces on the screen.
My phone is also detected by Odin in download mode and I know that we can use ADB in custom recovery like TWRP but to install it permanantly and see internal storage we need to do a format data.
If someone have a solution and can help me,
Thanks !

Flash twrp then try to go to it
And plug phone into your pc
Your internal storage will be there
To install twrp you don't need to format data btw!
The only thing that is needed to know is about oem luck to not f$uck up your device!

Thank you for your answer, I tried to flash TWRP with Odin and I didn't have any error.
After that, I rebooted in recovery mode and I can see my device on windows explorer but i see nothing, like when a device isn't unlock.
So I'm not sure if i am really in recovery mode, after flash in download mode I pushed Power + Home + Volume down buttons and just after that my device is disconect on Odin, I replace volume down by volume up.
If my OEM is lock, is Odin return error ? Otherwise how to know ?
Thanks (and excuse my bad english, i'm french...) !

Dont have any camera
When i bootup the phone the Samsung Galaxy S logo comes up.
After then animated S whit the sound comes, stays for a long time, then the screen becomes black. If i touch the touchbuttons they start to light but no more.
okay, then that means your phone is ON
the problem is either a bad flash, or you might just need to go into RECOVERY MODE to clean up the data, and clean up the cache

Dosent work, and no i cant come in to downloader either
Nothing works for me
there is maybe another hope
it will require to use a ADB on a batch file
open notepad
copy and paste this into notepad
:retry
adb.exe reboot recovery
GOTO retry
save it as
fixsgs.bat
but before you can run it, you will need to download ADB if you don't already have it
instruction are similar to this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7538723&postcount=2
the idea is to hook up your partially disabled phone to the USB turn it on and hopefully
the looping adb.exe reboot recovery can kick in when windows detects it for a fraction of a second when you plug in the USB device.

Hello,
I got SGS from o2 same issue tried every trick mentioned on internet but still stuck at same point (After Galaxy logo then animation and S sign.... Freezeeee)
Is there any hope?
Or any other way?
Help!
I know this isnt what you wanted to hear.
But if you've tried ADB and it still comes up with Device Not Found
I'm afraid you're only hope may be to take it back to retailer and claim ELF (Early Life Failure). Tell them you were upgrading firmware and it bricked and your phone doesn't have three button boot functionality.
Good luck
agree, if you can't get into the download mode, then the only fix is to send it back to the repair shop for an exchange

[Q] Device bootloops after messed up partition

I once tried to use geno's partition resize, and after a reboot, it cannot boot into system anymore. Stuck at the huawei logo.
Since I'm quite familiar with linux, I tried this solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971266
However, my linux installation didn't show any drives when it's in pink screen mode, so I'm pretty much stuck here.
In Windows 8 it did show two HUAWEI Technologies device (no drivers though) in pink screen mode.
I can't access recovery mode either, holding power + vol up only does normal boot for some strange reason. Anyone can help me out here?

try put official GB dload file on sd card, then put sd card in phone press power up+power down+power...
maybe it'll help you.
I tried that too, and it still bootloops. Not much luck.
Go to recovery and wipe everything. Then, reboot recovery, and then try partitioning again.
I can't get into recovery by pressing power + vol up. It just does normal boot (which bootloops).
If there would be any other way to get into recovery (such as via ADB or update.app) would be highly appreciated.

Yes, you can boot into recovery via adb:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
But, you cannot use that until your phone is booted up.
If that doesn't work, you can follow these instructions to hard reset your phone:
http://www.hard-reset.com/huawei-u8800-ideos-x5-hard-reset.html
Good Luck.
I can't get it to do the hard reset either. It just boots normally, aside from the bootloop.
I believe I need to fix the partition first before I try to reinstall stock. I hear that stock doesn't work with custom partitions. Which is why I'd prefer to at least get some access to the device via USB in order to fix it.
Ah well. It's a failing device anyway. Even before the brick the camera doesn't work anymore, regardless of which ROM I choose. Maybe it's time to move on for me.

Well, I tried this too (in fact I stated it in the first post) but pink screen mode isn't showing any device (I typed in "dmesg" in the Linux Terminal, none is found).
I appreciate your help, though. If I can solve the detection problem, I should be able to recover my phone using this method. I'd be happy to share some logs if it helps.
I got your back buddy

Hey, this is my first post well here it goes
Step 1 :- Format the sd card and put dload folder in it ( you'll get it from the official rom zip file)
Step 2 :- press and hold vol+ & vol- and then power button, it'll start upgrading
Step 3 :- now here is the tricky part!!! i was stuck here too and gone half mad well, let it reboot it will format cache etc and then bootloops, now turn off the device and then turn on pressing vol+ and power button, or u can try by pressing home, vol+ and power button, u'll b in recovery mode i.e in official rom builtin i guess.
Step 4 :- once in recovery, select reset factory default and clear partition cache, and then reboot!!!! Voila u will b able to finally boot successfully...
Now listen very carefully, u got only one chance here, cause if u reboot ur device again then bootloops will start again so in the first go, root the device by superoneclick and then install recovery i guess u knw all that and then u will be able to return to stock rom by flashing... once u've installed CWM then u r good to go bootloop wont effect ya SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH THOUGH

Screen black (broken) - How to recovery data (no usb-debug)

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.

Instantly reboots after booting into recovery

I installed LineageOS 14.1 but I was having some blue screens so I decided to go back to stock ROM but I had a brainfart and rebooted after wiping everything except microSD, and now I can't boot my phone normaly, nor enter recovery mode or download mode.
What is happening with TWRP recovery mode is that it seems to load properly but then it doesn't give me options or anything it just starts formatting cache or something for like 2 seconds and then just tries to reboot normally, but there's no OS so it just gives me a blue screen(im not at home right now but im panicking, i will upload a video for better understanding in a couple hours).
And with download mode it just stays on the charging screen.
Did I just brick my ****ing phone? Im on the verge of tears, I have been watching videos and reading for the past 2 hours and nothing seems to help

To boot into download mode, you must first turn it off then connect your phone to pc and then long press power up button.
As with the twrp formatting cache or something like that, you must have downloaded a buggy version. For now, if you have a pc nearby try to boot into twrp with adb.

Download mode still isn't working with the computer im trying, are you saying I just have to turn it off, plug it into the pc(charging screen appears), and just hold power button alone until I get to DL mode? Does my computer need a specific driver already installed for this?
And how would I go about giving my phone commands with adb if I can't boot it into anything? Should my pc recognize the device and be able to use adb when it's in the blue "Subsystem Crash" screen, or maybe when in the first 2 screens before booting into recovery where you have to press "Yes" twice, or when? Maybe when it's charging?
Thanks a lot for the help

Yes, you need to turn off your phone and plug the usb cable in your phone while holding volume up button until it goes into download mode( you must connect it to a pc or laptop). Also, you don't need specific drivers for that.
To boot into twrp with adb, you must first boot into os, or boot into twrp with hardware keys, assuming you can't do any of these then your only option is flashing a new kdz via download mode.
Edit: You need adb drivers installed on your pc if you're going to use adb commands on your pc.

Broken display, backup data / pictures?

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!

Has your phone screen cracked, leaving you unable to access your data? All is not lost! We'll show you various solutions on how to recover your data!
www.nextpit.com
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
