Hi there. My neighbour cracked her screen recently. There's a patternlock on the phone. She's a pretty old lady, and as such does not have backups of these pictures.
Edit: It's a LT125i According to the info beneath the battery.
Any help would be appreciated. I cant use the lower half of the screen, so i cant do pattern unlock.
I apologize for spelling or grammar errors, English is not my first language.
So to summarize.
Need pictures etc.
No usb debugging.
Pattern locked.
No recovery mode.
Please advice.

My tilt is acting very nasty lately. Over the past few weeks, I noticed that when I turned on the display, occasionally I would get something that looked like the static that you see on TV, but with colors. I would just turn off the screen, and turn it back on to clear it.
Now it's gotten worst! 98% of the time, it intermitantly gives me a blank solid white screen when I turn it on. Occasionally I can just turn to screen off, and on to reset it.
I'm running OEM WM6.1, and I've tried to reinstall the OS, but it didn't help. My phone has taken a beating, and the top corner has had a small crack in it over the past 2 months, but it didn't effect the touch screen, or picture. I also took off the cover to make sure the cables were all snug, and it didn't help.
Any suggestions?
Something got corrupted. If you search WIKI, it's call the 3 color screen stuck .. and you're better off posting at thread below. I hope someone can give you help (if you follow those steps and still no good)
As rule of thumb, do a lot of reading first

On a second thought, it might be the LCD itself broken ..
Oh, believe me.. I'm not one to turn to the forums without doing research myself! All the research I was coming up with seemed to point to a slightly different WSOD though. I think you are right about the screen being broken. I've reinstalled the software, and it acts up even when booting up!
Unfortunately, I'm not impressed with ANYTHING on the market to date! If I'm unable to fix this, I'll just go back to a RAZR until the next gen WM7 phones come out. (With a tilt screen of course!!)
Oh, and even though the screen goes white, it's not stuck, as it fully boots up; I can hear sounds, and even activate the touch screen.
Also, I forgot to mention.. the first problem I started experiencing was that my tilt would go back from landscape mode! It was like the video board was crapping out. I could even see a slight flicker in the display from the refresh rate.
hi i think you may need a new Need a new flex cable ribbon as i had the same problem once
Thanks Tayzaa, I think you could be on to something. I'll open it up and take another look!
Hi!
is this problem solved?
WSOD is bug of Hermes. I would know if kaiser have the same WSOD-bug with D-pad?
Hello XDA,
So a Moto X 2014 was dropped from the height of a couch to a carpeted floor earlier today (my friends moto ). He picked it up, inspected it and then resumed using it after seeing no evidence of damage(no cracked screen). Next he turned the screen off. After a bit, when he went to turn the screen back on, it would not. The haptic feedback still works when hitting the home key and other parts. I can even drag up to get to google now, then start typing into the search bar. All of this is done by feel, without the screen being on at all. Also of course "ok google" works too. The phone also gives sound feedback. So now you guys get the picture here, only the screen does not work, and the digitizer does. I have two questions here:
1. How?
Why on earth would the phone still work until the screen was turned off?
2. Is there any way to fix this?
My hypothesis was that the display connector somehow became ajar due to the drop, which would require a teardown, which we will not do. Would a battery disconnect help at all. I think we may be willing to risk peeling off the back to disconnect the battery.
The phone is most likely going to to be returned, however if there is something we can do which might work possibly via software on the computer that would be great.
Thank you XDA so much for your help!

Enter boot loader. Turn off your phone and then press enter and volume down. After that with the volume down go to "factory" and press volume up to select it. Your phone will restart with out radio signal and a Commserver app on your status bar, there you can select the first option and check all the system hardware. Hope it helps.
Regards
I can't access the bootloader because the screen will not turn on. I would not know what I was selecting. That is the source of the problem. Thanks though.
Is there a way to do a factory reset over usb with adb? Also I cannot find the required drivers.... anyone out there?

Yeap. But first download minimal adb and Fastboot drivers then search for the firmware of your phone
The command is
Fastboot flash system system. img
I think you need to unlock your bootloader in order to flash even stock system files
Since you dropped it it is rarely possible that software is "broken" better to do is sending to motorola asking for warranty (if no signs of drop are visible) an hope.
Hi everybody, I need all of your brains, because my brain stuck at this point.
Yesterday I got a phone (Samsung Galaxy A3 or model SM-A310F) from my neighbor with an damaged display. He told me the phone fell into water, but run after drying normal (I saw a video, isn't the phone water proof?) but then it fell to the ground and since the phone doesn't recognize any touch. I checked it and told him that I need to take a look inside because the glas is in a perfect state, I could see anything on it but, as I said, no functional touch. Hard-Keys are working fine.
The first thing what I does, was to restart the phone with "Vol- and Power". I thought the phone were now bricked, because the boot-up seems to be endless. After I let the phone work for approximately 5-10 minutes, the Samsung logo comes up and Android was there but again, with no touch.
So, as I said, I opened the phone, took a look inside and was very confused, because two wires were broken and some electrical parts near the display plug and the plug itself had a white covering, I think from the water damage before. Anyway, the phone is running but after I opened it, the screen got black and never come back. I cleaned up the parts and the plug and tried again, now when I press home or power, the screen is flickering on the left for a short time and is then black again.
At this point I said him that the phone is broken, because it is not clearly if the screen is broken and/or the mainboard, too (because of the white covering).
My neighbor asked me to recover the files and the contacts. I told him it is hard, but not impossible. My plan was to install a recovery, boot into and to adb pull all the files to my computer.
But: USB Debugging is DISABLED and the oem lock is on, too, so I failed trying to install twrp with odin. I just get a fail.
New for me: you can control your phone with your computer mouse and keyboard, so I thought, I can just accept the MTP request and simply drag and drop the files... but nope, the request just pops up, when I connect the phone to the computer. So I can't use my keyboard AND the connection to my pc...
Adb doesn't recognize the phone, because of the disabled usb debug (and even if I can figure it, I need to accept the debug dialog while connecting).
So, this is your part, anybody, any Idea to install something or just to recover the files?
My ideas:
Mirroring APK (to mirror the screen to my PC, explored that with MyPhoneExplorer)
Custom Recovery for stock recovery flashing (flashable zip)
Downgrading (but will definitly stuck in a bootloop, because I can't delete the data)
...
What do you suggest?
Buying a new screen isn't an option. I don't know anybody who can "borrow" me his screen.
I'm really a android geek, not someone as you are, but more than "normal users", so if it difficult, it is not a problem.
I also accept some tips with the screen part. I attached the picture, which I tooked for him. There you can see the white covering AFTER cleaning (it is almost there at some spots... I don't want to break more).
Thank you alot!
Kisses from germany =)

Could you provide images of the phone? Also did you check with the service centre?
My screen broke and I can figure out how to log into the phone to back it up.
What can I do? Is there any USB-c to HDMI output devices people have used?
Can I somehow use ADB to get into the phone?
I dont want to replace the screen as I am just going to upgrade now.
Any thoughts?
What kind of security did you have on your phone? Pattern, pin, password?
Can you see anything on your screen or it is completely black?
Does the phone screen respond to touches or it is completely dead?
