[Q] Can´t access fastboot

Hi,
I rooted my N4 and instaled CWM and CM11 but after instaling gapps my GUI go complete crazy and turn black. I can ´t get to settings but I can start apps from lockscreen shortcuts. When i tried go to bootloader or fastboot it didnt work and I cant get to them in any way. So question is how can I reinstall the ROM or fix CMW? I tried to connect to ADB but whitout possibility to accest setting I cant get device found.
Thank you a lot

Can you boot your phone into the bootloader? And if so does your pc recognize the device? I'd the issue with your phone or the pc recognizing your phone?

No I cant get into bootloader or fastboot (power-vol) but system starts normally except i cant get into settings or applications menu because it crases instantly. My PC recognizes the phone and i can put files in phone. I have probably turn of USB debugging and cant find phone in ADB.
Thank you for response

Can you boot into recovery from your system, or does it crash too soon? If you can flash a nandroid backup

No basically I start to a system and have black screen. Only things I can start-up are apps on lockscreen shortcut and top panel (contacts,flashlight,GPS, calendar).

If your phone is booting normally and you can't access bootloader then either your buttons are broken or you're pressing it wrong.
Turn the phone off completely then hold both volume up and down together then continue to hold them while pressing power until it vibrates.

You were right Easyiest way is the best way! I disassembled the phone adapt the buttons and now it works perfect with bootloader etc.
Thanks for remind me other possibility

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.

How to backup data on broken screen device

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...) !

Broken Screen, Developer options disabled, bootloader not unlocked, any chance for data recovery?

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....

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

Data recovery / black and broken screen

Good morning
I just broke my phone, it fell to the ground....
it is locked, it is not in OTG mode, nor in USB debugging on the développer menu...
how to recover my precious data
?
M

Old phones were easy to just get a spare devices and just unscrew and swap things .
Not so much with new ones , but doable with some tinkering.
But you should provide a bit more detail on phone model, OS it was running etc...
To give people more ideas about your options.
Like if screen does not show a picture , but touch still works , you could be guided
with steps to enable adb shell or something like usb file sharing mode.
or if OS version has recovery enabled with adb access or just blind click a seqence
to backup to external flash etc..... .
But provide more info before people can respond with options !!!

Good evening, I can't give much information... the screen is black, the touch screen does not work, no vibration. the buttons work, (the volume button, on / off). They vibrate under pressure. the led is lit green. it's a OnePlus 5 with unchanged official rom, Android 10 the black screen does not allow me to know more... Thank you for your help

i do not know the about OnePlus phones
but worth checking if adb is enabled if you button boot to recovery

Hi how I did this please

How I do this

google 'OnePlus 5 recovery'
(power and volume down button)
from what i see in the images it seems to have adb options , not sure
if it is a full adb access. I have no oneplus phones.
But watch the videos , you might be able to follow the sequence of button pushes
to enable it if it is not enable on just booting to recovery mode.
(ussualy vol up down and power for select)
Sorry i cannot help further as i have no knowledge of oneplus .
But once you get adb access you are set, even without root. you
should be able to download your internal storage and data partitions.
