[Q] Shattered Screen. Need to recover files. - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just discovered my good old Galaxy S with a shattered screen (black screen). The touch is only working in the upper left part, cant see anything tho. It has a custom Rom. So the thing is, when I connect the phone to my PC, it makes that "device detected" sound, but I nothing shows up. I have tried everything, but probably USB debugging isnt enabled because it doesnt detect my phone in the ADB. Any solutions?

Fatal problem with my s730

I accidentally dropped my s730 today. After doing so the screen froze and the phone didn't respond in any way so I turned it off by removing the battery. After trying to turn it on all i get is a split second fail message that says "No Image Found" and then i get a red, green, blue and white screen which says "WING220 SPL-1.31.0000 CPLD-7.
In the white portion it says "Serial" and when I connect with a USB cable it switches to "USB" other than that it doesn't respond in any way shape or form I've been able to figure out yet. A hard-reset using the soft buttons and on button hasn't worked either.
Any advice on how to fix this or am I screwed?
Just flash a rom
Have you put HardSPL or something on? Wouldnt have expected the phone to allow you into that screen without changes. I also wouldnt see it wiping your OS from the phone since its an SSD not a standard disc drive. In the drop you could have damaged the intnernal memory and now its showing the default screen from the chipset?
Give what Sh1n1 said a try and see if flashing a rom will take. Otherwise you might have something broken internally that needs to be repaired.
I haven't installed hardspl or anything like that. Guess I'll try flashing a rom.
What you are seeing is the Tri-Color-Boot screen. Accessed by pressing the camera button and powering on at the same time.
Sounds like the drop made the camera-button defect. Try prying it out carefully (don't pull it out of the shell) and powercycle the phone, or try pushing it some times with the power off. The power on the device.

Stuck on "tap the screen to set up your Windows phone" screen

my troubles started yesterday after i flashed one of the roms here and it kept hard resetting everytime i soft reset. i flashed another rom and now it's stuck at the 'tap the screen to set up your windows phone' screen. it will hard reset but it's stuck at that screen no matter how hard i tap. (pretty soon i'll either crack the screen or throw the phone out the window)
any help?
it seems to work if i connect it to my pc via usb and allow activesync to connect at this screen. but why?
guys I am facing the same issue any solution for this???

[Q] Funny touch screen fault after changed glass on I9000

Hi,
I managed to change the GLASS ONLY on a GT-I9000. It looks all works fine, the whole tuch function works well untill I plug the phone into the computer.
I do this in USB STORAGE mode, so the "connect storage to computer" button comes on. Then I just can't use thath button! The touch function stops working in the bottom half of the screen!
Even i go bact to the main screen and I can't navigate from the bottom section.
Ones i Unplug the USB cable, the whole tuch function works just fine again....
I changed frimware as well from 3.2.5 to 3.2.6 but still the same....
What a ...can be this?
Enyone can help plese?
Sorry about my english!

i8200 all working but black screen

Sorry guys if this mentioned before but my dad brought his i8200 to me last night saying phone went to a black screen a while ago. Let me explain the situation;
Phone boots up, works, if I put my sim card on it, I can call myself however during this whole time phone screen is black and unresponsive.
I tried to flashing official firmware via odin which didnt help. I dont know if it is related but when I connect phone via usb cable to pc I see it is popping up in "my computer" tab but I cant look into it because it is locked. However at the same time odin recognizes the phone which seem odd to me. Any help would make my old pal happy.
I know it is a fairly late reply, but have you tried opening the phone up to check the connector and cable going to the screen?
I am in a similar position, but our S3mini is even less alive. So I just opened it up today. I used this site with the remark that the speaker (the one that is against your ear when making a call) is held by stickytape so needs very careful prying loose to prevent the flatcable from being damaged.

Broken Screen, Need USB Debug mode on.

So this is for my dad's phone. He dropped it and the screen and the LCD panel part busted so the whole screen is all black. Can't see a single thing on it. He got a new (read:refurbished) one so that's not an issue. I'm trying to use a screen mirroring program to factory reset the phone before he sends it back to Motorola. Issue seems to be those programs require USB debugging mode to be turned on but since the screen is all black, I can't do that. I even tried doing multiple screenshots and guessing where things were but it didn't work (worried the top of the phone's touch digitizer is busted too but i'm hoping for the best lol). So I need a way to turn on USB debug mode, with a totally black screen (touch still works), NOT ROOTED, so I can then mirror it with the MirrorGo or Vysor mirroring software so I can factory reset the device. If you have any thoughts for a simpler fix then I'm open to suggestions. I'm not tech savvy enough to do anything with Rooting and i'm not confident enough to try doing that with a busted phone (if it's even possible), so that's an option that's out too. :/

You can go into recovery mode and do the factory reset there, it's probably the easiest way to do it.

Yea, i tried that with the bootloader/fastboot thing. It didn't seem to work. I can barely tell if the device is even ON, only indication it's on is the volume rocker makes a noise to indicate volume and the bottom buttons light up. So being able to tell if the device is even IN it's bootloader mode thing was a crapshoot. I'm gonna need either a way to screen mirror in real time without debugging mode on, or a way to enable debug mode remotely essentially.
