Stock Z1 Locked - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone help me?!?! I have a stock Z1 on T-Moible. The screen cracked by itself, and digitizer will not work. I can not access the phone via usb, I plug it into my PC it sees it but will not see content due to the password lock. Not sure is USB debugging is on...most likely not.
I have photos of a friend that has passed I would like to save them. Sony will fix the screen for me but they will wipe it clean in the process.
I've downloaded ABT but not sure how to use it .or it's not seeing the device due to debugging not on. I desperate here any help would be appreciated!

[Q] Broken screen trying to recover data

Hi,
I broke the screen of my samsung note a while back. The glass is okay, it is the inner screen which is showing a little crack when looked at from an angle. The day it broke i was able to see the screen but after 1 day the screen has become completely black. I am not in my home country and hence can not get the screen repaired, and need some of the files from phone really badly. The trouble is I can not unlock the phone, as i am not sure of what is happening on screen.
I tried to recover data but the phone is locked. If i can either turn on the wifi or 3G of my device by some way ( then I can excess the samsungdive application and unlock my phone) or if I can bypass the pattern somehow or can enter it via pc ( like in know there exist some screen monitoring applications for android 2.0 and below) i can enter inside the phone. I have been trying a lot of stuff and I dnt want to blindly reset my phone ( i think if i reset it I should be able to unlock it). Is there any other option anyone can suggest me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I do not think you can unlock via samsungdive if your phone is not connected to internet. Since my phone is not connected to internet i can not do that via samsungdive.
Thanks

Sorry for not giving full information in last post.
When I connect the phone via usb. It comes as a media device in pc. But when i try to import files or anything it shows nothing available. Also in Samsung kies it comes up as connected but locked. It tells to unlock the device.

I just had the jelly bean update on note. So I am running the default Rom and Kernel ( which should be there after official update). Though I am not that aware about this information.

wasnt your data (2G or 3G) already on? if the data was already on and if you restart the computer it still remains on, moreover there is no harm in trying to unlock from samsungdive. i have lot of ideas coming to my mind but dont know if they would make any sense or may be there is a simple way to do it but i cant think of it.

[Q] N7000 destroyed, data recovery?

Hi guys
as you can see in the attached file, i have a litte issue
a friend of mine dropped the phone and a car runned over it lol...digitizer and lcd are gone but the phone still boot up and it is recognized by the computer. My friend don't care about repairs but he wants the data back and here starts the problems:
-adb is off
-phone is password protected (so no kies and no sdcard reading from pc), phone stay in the "insert password" at startup.
-i don't even know if support mhl to attach on a tv
how can i recover the data? The only idea i have is to dump the rom and load it on an android emulator but i don't even know if its possible. Can someone give me a hint to recover the data? Thank you
1) Buy a replacement screen
2) Get the data
3) Sell fully working phone
...
Profit!
that was my idea...my friend do not approve

Did you try the S-pen to input the password?
i can't get a precise feedback. I think i'm not pressing the correct numbers and after half hour of wasting time i was looking for other options. Does this phone support mhl? If yes, i have to enable in settings or something else?

I dont know qbout mhl, never used it. The phone does support it though.
Another idea might be a usb-otg cable and a keyboard(password entry).
Not sure if that works on a stock rom, but try it.

[Q] M7 no USB Connection, can't Shutdown

Hi guys,
I'm facing a weird problem. Hope someone could help me out.
Phone is One M7, Lollipop 5.0.2, windows 7-64bit.
To make it short and clear, here are the symptoms:
1- Shutdown always restarts phone, can't turn it off.
2-Phone not detected when connected to laptop, i tried all there is to try mentioned on XDA
3-When connected to Laptop, after some time, the USB icon in status bar appears and never gets off even after disconnecting from laptop, only goes away after restart.
I guess all the above are somehow related but can't find any of solutions working. I tried everything.
Drivers install-unistall-reinstall, USB prot cleaning, 5 cables and USB ports, safe mode on phone, malware scan on laptop, etc...
It used to work before, other phones get detected by laptop....now I'm stuck and can't do any thing through laptop connection....no ADB, no file transfer, no backup to laptop, nothing.
Does anybody have any idea of what more I could do? What's left is a factory reset that I am keeping as a last resorts, if it would help, because i don't want to lose my app data.
Appreciate any input from you guys.
Thanks.

I would indeed try a factory reset and also try to turn off the phone from the bootloader

Thanks Alray for your reply.
It doesn't turn off from bootloader also...it restarts !!
What's keeping me from the factory reset is that all backup apps that can make app data backup (Helium, or ADB backup command) require a pc connection.
So I'm kind of stuck here.
I hope that someone as experienced as yourself would have any ideas to try.

Thanks Sui77 for your help.
Although I never had battery or display changed (never sent to maintenance before at all), I will try to do what you mentioned.
I understand from the picture you posted that the screw driver is pointing to the loose cable connection, right?
Thanks again.

P20 PRO - Enabling debugging USB on a blacked out screen

Hi everyone.\
My new phone screen has died. It is completely black and being under a month old the supplier has agreed to replace it for me.
The only problem is I would like to back up my data before sending it back as it has sentimental photos of my child's first Christmas.
I thought I had selected- back up to cloud but while checking my gmail account this doesn't seem to be the case, I also didnt select enable usb debugging either.
Because of this, as you can imagine, I can't access my phone via my pc at all. All extraction apps also require the usb debugging to be enabled and because my screen is completely blank I cant do this.
I have tried casting and mirroring my phone too, with the hope of being able to actually see the screen I could select what I need to and then use hi suite to retrieve my data, but again as I cant see the screen I cant give permissions or downloads apps for android etc
I am at a complete lost, and literally have tried everything I can think off.
Please can someone help save the day!
Use usb c to hdmi cable!

Screen Broken - Cant Use - How do I export data?
What an amazing mobile the ROG 2 is.
No complaints really. Though I did drop it and the screen is broken so I am sending it off for a repair (if possible).
I cant use the screen at all, and they told me that the data needs to be wiped before its sent (or they will wipe it anyway).
Any idea how to get data off it, like contacts etc without using the screen?
Thank you all.
Your contacts should sync to your Google account. Go to contacts.google.com to verify they have already synced.

Thank you for the reply. What about messages, whatsapp etc
Is there any known software without using the screen?
Use an otg dongle and connect a mouse to the phone, you should be able to click like touch.

Hi, how did you get on reference the above?
Try a USB c hub and connect a monitor and mouse?

I think I am right in assuming that i need to give permission on my ROG to allow screen mirroring on a monitor. But of course I cant do that as I dont have access to the screen.
Am I right or is there a workaround?
Thanks

If you have allowed adb before, you can use adb pull command to copy files to a computer.
Changing the screen wont require data reset, I dont know why they are insisting on wiping the data!
you can also try this and see if it works: connect the phone to a pc and when the phone asks for permission, have a mouse connected to the phone and click the place that the allow button is most probably is.(it's on bottom right corner about a centimeter up and left) if you're set to English that is.
but you have to be able to unlock the screen before that somehow. maybe the fingerprint still works?
And my last option would be to get the screen replacement yourself and do it yourself if the data really matters to you. getting the broken screen off the phone shouldnt be much of problem because it's already broken so what could go wrong right?
and you will just have to apply the new screen with care and proper glue that you can get from a phone shop.
Sure you have fixed by now but incase or if anyone else lands here, You can use USB C TO HDMI (Cable,dongle,etc) and hook it to computer screen,TV. I had adapter and hooked a mouse to navigate. Though very poorly, I could still use touch screen
