ok so my screen broke without dropping my phone or falling or anything...but thats beside the point. the week before my phone started ****ing up and was super slow and started freezing all the time. i had to reset it about 10 times a day. so i would just get someone to guide me to copy them to my sim but....i dont know if it will freeze or work so i cant really do that. so is there anyway to just pull the contacts off the phone. and would it be better to do on vista or xp? i know i could just replace the screen and take it back...if im extra carefull.....but i think i might be able to just swap it and i would like to save the 70 bucks if i can. any suggestions? this sucks so bad....from tilt back to razr.....i just need my numbers really though. any help is appreciated!
well if u can still see using your screen u can jsut backup your contacts using pim, if not why not just sync if to your computer?
well.....my screen is kinda broken....thus the title of the thread. could i just sync it with outlook or do i need to do anything on the phone to actually sync it? would that pull all of them off onto outlook or when you sync does it just pull all your contacts off the computer onto the phone? ......sorry for the newb sync question....dont really use outlook that much
Download MyMobiler, http://www.mtux.com/ it should show what your screen should be showing and you don't have to do anything on you phone to use it, well on most roms depends on security settings if its stuck saying installing press the key next to the green call button. (i think). Then use Pimbackup can you can control the phone through mymobiler
well I was fed up with the garbage phone and punched the screen over and over.. the screen doesn't work but everything else is fine. I need to copy all contacts from the phone to text file so I can copy it to my new phone. any software to do this or can someone tell me where they sit?
the lag, the junk UI the lack of video driver crippling the phone just drove me bokers. Never HTC again.

Ok so tonight on my way home from the movie theater while riding the Harley i run into a down pour, now the hero is in the saddle bag which i was hoping would keep it safe, dry and happy, unfortunately that wasn't to be.
i get home and after getting the phone i go to look to see if i have any missed messages and find that it seems to have turned off, upon attempting to boot it goes to fastboot mode.
i currently have it sitting in a bowl of rice to try to dry it out, but does the fact that it still attempts to boot at all mean there is hope for my little hero?! I <3 that phone it's been so loyal! Even though i'm currently considering upgrading i'd like to get a backup of some stuff i haven't backed up recently before changing phones.
ok so it boots up now, my only problem is that the screen won't unlock now, i've tried changing out the glass touch screen to one i know works and that's not doing it, so does this mean i'm SoL? that something on the motherboard has gone wrong?
even though i'm not getting any responses going to update, couldn't find a way to unlock the screen with the touch screen not working, now that being said, i did find a command to pull my mms/sms database through ADB, now when i get a new phone will i be able to paste this database file in and it compile automatically, once i get root access that is?
Yes. Transferring the messages shouldn't be a problem.
What phone did you get?
Hello,
I have a serious problem. Last friday, I receive a brand new HTC ONE, free of carrier, as I live in Nigeria. I put my sim card inside, I sync with google, I personalize with music, photos, msg... and then I make a save on the computer (macbook pro); later on the day, I change some widgets, and few things (when I transfer the music, one time out of two, HTC sync Manager says the device is not connected, whereas it is of course.)
Next morning I want to listen to the music, as it is one of the assets of the device. The music is played for 10 sec, and then stops. I think there is a minor problem, I decide to reboot.
-first surprise, the device starts on the configuration saved on the computer, and not on the configuration of the reboot.
-then I try a factory reset, via the android menu. the device goes into the reset mode, with the two green arrows, turning in the same way, indicating that the reset is being done. But, after one minute or so, a red triangle with an exclamation point replaces the two green arrows.
Then, the device comes back to the saved configuration of the computer.
-I try to perfrom a factory reset, hard reset from the HTC menu with PWR and - button of the unit. but it is the same result as the attempt with the android menu, it boots on the saved configuration.
-I try to download the update android 4.3 and HTC sense 5.5 from HTC servers but once downloaded, the device says the update is corruted and will not install it.
It is a big problem to me because bewteen the moment of the save and the moment I reboot the device, willingly or due to a loss of battery, every piece of content I would create, receive, or add, like music, photo, videos, emails, txt msg... would disapear.
I've tryed to make another save on the computer, but HTC sync manager keeps telling me there is no save done. At the bottom right corner, there is the sync button, and the free space on the device. When I transfer something on the device, even if it is 10 GB of data, the free space is not changing. It stays around 24.58 GB...
I don't know what to do, but I love this phone, and I want it to work properly. If I need to install something, please let me know, but I don't know the basics, like installing custom roms or something else.

thank you for replying in such a short notice, considering the period.
Now, I've looked at your post, and I've tried to find where to download hassoon 2000 toolkit, but it seems so far that every link is rederecting to the link provided in your tutorial, but unfortunatly, in that tutorial there is no link given to download the software.
Do you know where I can?

ok I've managed to get through the video despite the toolkit from squabbi and the one from hasoon2000 are not the same. But I'm blocked to the "flash unlock token" step. I've got the token, the ....code.bin, but I don't know where to put it. In the video, the user puts it in the "data" files but as his file called "data" comes with the AT&T driver or something, I'm lost. I don't where to put the unlocking key
In the fastboot folder

OK so i noticed over the course of about 6 days my phones screen would glitch, when i say glitch i mean crazy colors and sometimes just go dark. a reboot would sometimes fix it other times it would take a few reboots. Now the screen doesnt come on at all. I have tried everything. Removing the built in battery for some time, charging, connecting to PC, wiggling the LCD etc etc.
I have about 4 years of pictures and videos on this phone with unfortunately no backups anywhere!!!!
I have got to get them off this phone one way or another.
Is there anyway i can work around a dead screen to copy files from the phones internal memory.
I have ADB, Fastboot, CentOS, Kubuntu, Kali, Winders 7,XP, and 8 to work with here so whatever it might take im down to try anything if anyone has any good ideas. Heck ill even take bad ideas at this point!!! ANYTHING would be better than what i got now.
(i should give a few details. when the phone boots up i hear the "DROID" boot animation sound the soft keys used to light up, the keyboard backlight comes on after sliding the screen out. All with no luck!!!
Please let me know if there is anything i can try here!!
Thanks
Evan Calo
Just 2 options quickly:
1) After the phone boots up, just plug it on a Windows PC through USB. If it recognizes the phone in mass storage mode, you should see the internal and external storage, then you're golden.
2) If that doesn't work, try to plug it on a TV or monitor through HDMI. You can use screen mirroring or webtop to reach the phone interface (if you are on stock ROM). Even if the LCD is bad, the digitizer should work so it recognizes the touch, helps you navigate.
I hope that helps.
