Blown Up - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Screen got smashed, no LCD. How do I get all of my data and pics off of the phone? The Android tool kit does not detect the phone when plugged in.
Thanks

Check if it shows up in the device manager when you plug in... maybe its off.

Odin not recognizing phone

Im trying to flash my phone to 2.2 *captivate*, but everytime I put my phone off, take out batter and sim card, then put battery in, hold the two volume buttons on the left and plug the usb cable in, odin does not recognize it. It is only recognized when I put my phone on. (drivers installed) Pleae answer, Ive spend so long on this. Also, when I try to go into download mode, the yellow guy doesnt show up, it just goes to a battery charging state
Ensure that phone USB has debug enabled in the development menu under applications in settings... And hold the buttons, insert USB cable until the phone goes into download mode. Yellow triangle... Odin should then see the port...
Are you using original factory cord?
Have you tried all usb ports?

Yes Im using the original factory chord. Ive tried all of the usb ports except one. Trying it right now. It is still only recognized when the phone is on though.

Do you have odin open
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
yeah its open
Where did you get the drivers from?
Try the drivers from samsung
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SGH-I897ZKAATT
If the same message pops up click on it. It should give you the option to choose drivers. Navigate to these drivers, I believe they get saved to c drive, program files, samsung.

how do you get into recovery mode?
Recovery our download mode?
Recovery
volume up and down and power. Wait till at&t screen comes on let go
download mode, needed for odin
Remove bat, sim, and external sd. Put bat back in, put cover on. Hold volume up and down hold, put usb in . Should be in download mode in a second or two

My computer wouldnt recognize my phone either after a while... it turned out to be the crappy samsung usb cable. I tried a different cable and everything was fine. If you have a different usb cable try it! Maybe that will solve it. It did for me. Good luck.
my phone is recognized by the computer, just not when it is off
Sounds like you have the"no 3 button recovery"issue. You should be able to use adb with phone on to boot into recovery, just be ready before you get carried away and get/make a jig as you will likely need it at some point to get you out of a bad flash where adb commands are not possible.
So... That didn't work
So i am having the problem with ODIN not seeing my phone when in download mode, although it can when it is on. I really want to get CM7 on my phone and do my own boot animation/splash screen. Yet I can't seem to find any good information as to how to fix this.
I am not a NOOb at this nore am I dev. but this is something new that no one has seemed to be able to fix.
If anyone knows how to fix this that would be awesome, or if any dev with a fair amount of credit would want so give this a go that would be awesome.
Hoping to get some ideas...
I highly recommend buying a jig. I use mine all the time to go to download. I have softbricked many times and it has saved me.

So i think that i figured it out... After you install the drivers from samsung you need to install mini keis. It loads additional driver that allow the device to connect while in download mode
Good Luck
PM me & let me know how it goes

HTC 802w Hard Brick

Well I had one nasty night.
I was using the phone (browsing) and all the sudden the screen went black. I browsed and found a few HTC One articles about that but there was a major difference, the home and back buttons were blinking, and mine were not. Also the device was not showing up under ADB or Fastboot.
My phone does not show any signs of life (like vibration when turning on). Can I assume the phone is dead?
Phone was:
-Unlocked via HTCDev
-S-Off via Firewater
-Had Maximus 2.0 installed

If there is ABSOLUTELY no sign of life, then you will have to assume the worst, which would mean that the phone is dead. In that case, you will have to send the phone to HTC for a motherboard replacement.
Just see if the phone is charging. Does the red LED turn on when plugged in ?

I guess so . The only sign of life I get is the beeping of Windows when I plug in the device. But nothing shows up on Windows manager. Going to grab a windows xp laptop and see if it can detect anything.
Did you try shining a bright light on the proximity sensor and holding down power and volume down?

When u connect the phone to the computer and the beeping sound of Windows comes, open Device Manager. Do you see a device called QHUSB_DLOAD or Qualcomm device something... ??

Ok. Just got to my Winxp machine and a QHUSB_DLOAD device showed up. When I hold the power, the device changes to a USB Input Device.
I'm gonna lookup what that QHUSB is.
Hate to say it but that's a hard brick alright. No chance of fixing it. Has to go in to service

Ok....... Well, i have bad news. Your device is indeed hard-bricked(dead). A motherboard replacement will be required to revive it. QHUSB_DLOAD is s hard-brick

Screen is just black, but HTC is still on and working Need Help

My HTC screen just went black and I can't turn it off or do anything with it
Holding Power and Volume Down doesn't work either
Then how do you know it's still working?
Because when I plug it into my PC, I can hear the connection sound
But I can't access it from my Pc either

If you go in windows deice manager, is the phone recognized? Does it say QHSUSB_DLOAD?

Note 5 is bricked mechanically; Can I access SD card to recover data?

Dropped my Note 5 tonight, and now screen won't turn on, blue notification light is always on, and my PC won't recognize it when I plug it in. Tried using Samsung "Find My Phone" and it couldn't locate it on the network. Phone has been on the charger, so it's not the battery.
Before I have to send it back (insurance), is there a way I can access the data on the internal SD card?

There's really nothing you can do at this point because the phones done for.. If its that important maybe a professional phone repair shop can open the phone and get it another way.

M7 bricked (?), possibly bootloader is wiped, can it be saved?

So, I let a friend of mine use my old M7 in order to repartition/format an sd card (using an OTG adapter). Came back with phone completely dead. I do suspect he ended up partitioning or formatting one of the system partitions in there (possibly the bootloader?) phone was rooted so...
Anyway, situation is as follows: Phone looks dead. Long pressing the power button does nothing, no vibration, no keys light up, no screen comes on.
BUT, when connecting it to the computer I get the usb connection sound on my Windows 10. If I long press the power button for ~10 seconds, i do get the usb disconnection sound, followed again by the usb connection sound. So "something" is alive in there. Also, power+vol down button does reboot the phone.
However there's no way to access recovery, bootloader, adb/fastboot, or even flash a RUU.
It isn't even charging when I plug it in, no red led.
Anything else I could try before giving up?
Thank you.

When you here that USB sound when connecting to your pc, go to the windows device manager and look for devices in the usb section. Is the phone showing as "QHSUSB_DLOAD" or simply "HTC Phone" ?

Hey, thanks for the reply, sorry for the delay. Yeah, it shows something similar to QHSUSB_DLOAD. Looked it up a bit, guess it's completely borked.

Yep sounds like your phone is in Qualcomm download mode. Usually this can happens for 2 reasons.
1- Hardware failure
2- Bad firmware flash

Hard to tell since we don't know what your friend exactly did or what was used from that usb-otg drive.
A phone shop that can connect to your phone using jtag/riff could maybe fix it but doesn't worth the $$ asked for a 2013 phone, imo.

As far as he told me, he just used an app to try to format the otg drive, multiple times, and after a reboot phone died. He couldn't remember which app he used, but since phone was rooted, I can only guess he actually tried to format some system partition.
I will give the unbricking project a go, need to find a linux machine first. I really know jack about linux, but I guess it's no harm trying it Thank you!
