Smashed phone, please help. - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I dropped my note5 and now I can't open it... I've tried everything I know how to do with adb and such and I can't get my photos... Any help is greatly appreciated. My grandma recently passed and I have our last photos on here...
So far I've tried using kies3, adb devices with the android studio install, which it never finds... I was trying to push my passcode manually that way but couldn't ever get it to come up.....

Try downloading smartswitch on your computer then connect your phone to your computer and it should work.

[Q] Help : Advice or Instructions Needed Bad : USB Port Dead

I got up this morning and decided to sync some music over to my captivate. I was surprised when I started getting errors that the device was not recognized. After four hours of trying to get the phone to sync I put it back to as vanilla as I could and brought it to ATT. After trying a new cable and just about everything else the phone has been declared to be defective. My problem is how do I get this phone back to original without a usb connection. The phone is not recognized by Odin, ADB or anything else so as far as my knowledge goes I am out of ideas. The phone works fine other wise but I thought some of the brightest on here might be able to help. Any ideas guys?
Try a different USB port.
Mine only works in the back USB ports, but won't do **** in the front ones.
I probably should have been a little more clear. The port is defective on the phone. They can't even communicate with the phone at the AT&T store through the usb port with some reader. I am trying to get the phone back to resembling stock before i send it back for warranty.

Try downloading adbwireless from the market. It will allow you to use adb without a wired connection.

I have Windows 7 64x bit, and sometimes my connections seem dead, and I just uninstall and reinstall the drivers.
ADB wireless seems like your best bet right now
Thanks. Gave that a shot and I can connect to the phone. Now all I need to do is find the att apps.
try a factory reset and see if it recognizes your phone .

Have you tried it on another computer?

PC will NOT recognize Droid 3! HELP!!!

I made a thread recently about my phone not connecting to the computer but no one seemed to be able to help. Well I have still have the same problem and I am hoping SOMEONE can help me! Below I have listed everything I have tried, btw I am not a noob at this stuff. My phone connected fine before and now it will not.
I have tried:
Reinstalling drivers
Using the STOCK cord that came with my D3
Restarting phone, and computer multiple times
Going into AP Fastboot mode
Using differernt USB ports
Using different computers
Nothing seems to work. Unless someone knows how to get a free replacement from verizon/online I need to go back to stock and unroot so I can get a replacement so I can actually use my USB. A stock backup would be good too, as I can download it from my phone/put it on through my SD Card. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
P.S- I don't mind having to pay for a replacement, however, I pay for the full insurance and I think it is bs that I have to pay a deductible at least for the first time.
Thanks in advanced,
Andy

This always seemed to work for me when my cable didn't work - plug in the cable, and lightly push down to help the contacts connect (DO NOT BEND THE CORD OR BREAK THE USB JACK)

S.O.S.

I bought my HTC One about three or four months ago and it was working great no problems with anything, the about two weeks ago I went to add music from my computer running windows 7 onto the phone and it came up with an error of something along the lines that the device was broken or something like that, I thought that it was just my computer because its a piece of junk anyways so I tried to connect it to my friends computer and it did the same thing. The computer(s) wont do anything with the phone, not even bring up mass storage. I have tried to re install htc sync all the htc drivers and still nothing has happened. I was wondering if this has been a known problem with this phone or is it just my phone that seems to be doing it. Aside from this the phone itself is working great and I don't root or anything with the phones that I use. I was also wondering if there was anything that I might be able to do aside from the things that I have already done, and I'm willing to try just about everything.
Thanks!!!!!

This only happens once or twice ever day, the rest of the time the computer wont even read that it has something plugged into it.

Are you plugging it into a USB SS port? I have two of those on my laptop and it acts funky when I plug it into them. Also, reinstall your drivers after deleting them from device manager.
I have a 2.0 port and what I assume to be two normal usb ports. I uninstalled the drivers but I'm not exactly sure where I need to go to get them again, do the download after I install HTC sync manager?

I wouldn't install htc sync manager at all unless you need it. You can search "universal android driver" on xda and find it.
Hey guys I just wanted to let you know that I got the problem fixed. I just performed another factory data rest and that fixed the problem. Thanks for all the help!

[Q]Help w/ mounting phone with 4.3?

ON 4.1/4.2 I had no issues with mounting phone to transfer files. Even on GPE roms with 4.3 no issues. But all 4.3 sense roms I cannot get it to mount and allow me to transfer files. What it does right now when I plug it in goes through found new hardware attempting to install, no go, or select advanced and it says not installed because it couldn't find necessary software. Then it comes up with HTC One Camera connected and shows stupid options that don't help me at all like; Dropbox and microsoft options and stuff.
Things I've already attempted
Removed drivers
attempted to re-install them
USB debugging on, rebooted between selecting/deselecting options phone & computer.
Removed HTC Sync, attempted to reinstall get an error upon trying 1152 Error extracting to temp location, I cannot change its desired location though, stupid lol.
Cannot delete C:\HTC folder cause of passthrusvr.exe I don't need or want that (my understanding it is for passing internet connections and such).
I'm on XP, I know its a dinosaur, it gets what I need done, until now lol.
Oh ya, it connects fine to other computers like my works and a friends. Just not mine which has all my music on it... :-\
I just wanna move some music over and stuff, hate going back and forth on backups to do so.
I won't be available til tomorrow to trouble shoot or late tonight depending on how things go later.

Umm sounds like the problem isn't with your phone but with your computer and windows is such a finicky os that not one solution works for all kind of thing. Just a thought are your firewalls configured properly? What does the computer show when plugging it in device manager? Sometimes my phone and laptop don't play along and its either because I have fast charge enabled in kernel or I just turn debugging off always works then and the phone is recognized as mass storage device. Good luck

I don't use anti virus or have any firewalls active as far as I know, it looks for cdc serial but then nothing happens so it mounts as an HTC One camera device. Stock kernel as well, appreciate the trying tho.

And its def a computer thing which I'm not super knowledgeable on unfortunately. I've got it to connect on other PCs and laptops without a hiccup, also have tried differs cables also, before that's suggested too. I'm almost positive it's just the leftovers from drivers that I can't seem to fully get rid of.

[Q] Not recognizing after installing SDK

Hopefully someone can help me because I have been stuck for days and I have researched nonstop. My phone was working fine and could connect to my pc a week ago. I installed Android SDK and eclipse so I could try and develop an application. Now that I have installed it, my phone will not connect to my PC. My tablet will not either. I have ticked the USB debugging on and off, updating drivers from Motorola as well as the Google usb drivers from the sdk manager. When i type in the command for adb devices, no device is shown. In the device manager, my device does not show up. It doesn't even charge anymore. I have the original cords, but have tried others just in case. I am running Windows 8.0 if that makes a difference.

do you actually need eclipse? did you try uninstalling everything to see if you could connect again?
likely you do not need eclipse and should have just installed the sdk but i have never had the problem you are describing. i would just uninstall everything and get it working again then re-try installing whatever you want to

I may sound stupid because I don't know enough about this.. But don't I need eclipse to make an application? I am going to try to make an application for my class, and thought I needed eclipse and the sdk. I am currently uninstalling it all to see if it helps any.

well there are other IDEs out there besides eclipse but you can use that one. Sounds like you are about to have a pretty big uphill battle creating an app lol.
But if you get everything to work without anything installed, try re downloading and installing everything without your phone plugged into the computer. I have no idea if that would work or if it would matter at all but it could i guess. that's where i would start. it should screw anything up on your computer that wouldn't let you connect your phone but maybe something weird happened.
i just did some research and only found people having similar problems with samsung phones. And the solution was downloading some kies program for samsung phones. so idk what else to tell you.

Ahhhh it worked! My pc will finally recognize my device. I'm not sure what the problem was either, I got the same results when I was researching. No one seemed to have the exact same problem.
I'm definitely going to have some problems trying to create an app haha.. The SDK came with eclipse, so I just assumed I had to use it. I'm pretty sure I'm in over my head! Is there another IDE that you recommend? The easiest method is the method I'm going to take for sure.

eclipse is fine. a lot of people use it. just search through xda and you will find threads teaching you how to build apps, but unless you are going to spend a good amount of time or already know how to code, prepare to be ticked off.

I have 10 weeks left to make it, so I've got plenty of time. I know how to code a little bit, but I'm not very good at it. I'll give eclipse a try and see if it works this time. Thanks for the help!
