I broke up my screen, can i recover my SMS ? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
Before starting, i want to apologize if you don't understand everything, i'm a french guy and i think the only way to having help is to come here, 'cause the french forum aren't really alive about the Nexus 6...
Yesterday night, i had a very bad night. For some reasons, i threw my phone away on a wall. Then, i saw only this morning that i completly broke my screen. Now, it doesn't work at all, i can't do anything on it.
But, i can enter in Downloading Mode (i don't know if its his name ??? Just by pressing power and volume down) and i hoped that i can used this to enable the Debugging Mode, or find any other way to take back all my SMS, who is very very important for me. Do u think that there is a way to get them back ? I heared that i could flash a kernel with debugging mode enabled, but i can't find this on the web...
I used the Textra app for texting with my contacts. I never used the Hangout app (and i think i regret if there is a cloud save option).
I really hope that you're gonna help me guys...! Ask me if you need more informations, or if you don't understand something.. lol
Cheers

Is the screen completely black or are you able to see content on the screen?

Oh, ouch! That seem to hurt. Be careful with your fingers.
What I would suggest you to do is to install vysor (which is a chrome plugin) from the internet on your computer. Hook your phone to the computer with cable and the program will install the app on your phone. Now through adb it will show your mobile screen on your computer and you will be able to control your phone from your computer. Search vysor in Google and search for it on YouTube too to better understand how it works.

Thanks for the help,
But the problem is still the same, every app (including Vysor) ask me to enable the Debugging Mode. Without it, i can't do anything... or maybe i missed something ?

Unfortunately yes, you do need that enable with most apps seeking access externally to control the phone. I assume that the upper level of the screen is not working? Do you have an OTG cable and a mouse that you can use and try going into developer options to enable debugging?

I think i'm going to buy this cable. I saw i doesn't cost so much, so i will try this, i think this is the better solution for me.

That would be a good solution if you're able to navigate with the little of the screen that is working. Sometimes autorotating the screen will help you see part of what is at the bottom of the screen. That way you might get into developer option with an otg cable.
It there are anyone else here with any other solutions, it sure would be nice to hear.

i'm still waiting for another solution too, but i will go to my shop tomorrow and buy this cable if nothing works. I think this solution will work anyway..!

You can go the screenshot route
Take a screenshot, calculate where to touch(assuming touch works).

I just bought the Honor Mate 8 to replace this nexus, 'cause the Pixel XL isn't available in France and the Mate 9 cost too much. I hope it will be better in performance, but i'm sure i will regret all the new Stock Android updates
Tomorrow, i will buy this OTG Cable. We'll see if it works well..!

Hi friends,
I would like to share this with you... : My screen is now completly black, only maybe... 5 % of is working lol. BUT... I've bought an OTG Cable today and with luck and by knowning my phone perfectly, i have enabling this famous Debugging mode and now, i can finally use him with my PC.
I would like to thank you for your help, and a goodbye because of my next phone who is a Huawei Mate (8... the 9 cost too much lol)
Thanks a lot !!!

Moral of this thread? Don't throw your devices at walls. 99.9% of the time, the wall wins. ?

xp wont recognize tilt unless its connected for ~15mins then disconnects after a few.

This is really weird. I plug my tilt into my computer (tried every USB port on the machine) and it does nothing. The tilt doesnt light up, the computer doesnt notice that anythings been plugged in. Then about 15 minutes later you get the 'bipbipbip' sound that somethings been plugged in and activesync opens and it tries to connect but can not, then after a few minutes of trying I get an error about nothing being connected and you hear disconnect sound xp makes when you remove something form the usb port. Tired reseting both the phone and pc with no change in behavior.
Any ideas?
I've tried the USB-PC switch which did not work.

it seems you're having the same problem I do ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397840 )
USB to PC isn't working here too
I don't know if it's related, but I'm using L26 ROM. Are you using the original ROM?

yes original rom. I got it to sync over BT. Still not making me happy though.
Have you tried /Connections/USB to PC: disable advanced network functionality ?
Yes I have tried that with no difference.
But oddly enough its working now after I plugged the usb into the combo adapter I just got... now it works without it. Maybe it re-aligned a pin or something?

I think theres a batch of dodgy kaiser/tilts going round. My USB recently suffered many of the problems listed here and all over the forum. Won't connect to activesync, charges but nothing else, stuck in serial at bootloader. Tried on many pc's with many different cables, advanced USB functionality on/off, original SPL, the list goes on and on. I noticed one thing tho, the USB connector on my broken kaiser (O2 XDA stellar btw) looked different to my mates stellar. Mine had 5 holes on the front of it that lined up with the pins on the top. The one they sent me after i returned it doesn't have these holes and looks like my mates one. Ill try and get a pic of the difference.
Does yours have holes or no holes?
1st pic - with holes
2nd pic - no holes

but it's weird because it used to work
it stopped from nothing
I guess the holes aren't it then. Mine just stopped too, nothing changed, just didn't work one day. Does yours get recognised by windows at all? Mine kept saying usb device not recognised. This was after it was plugged in for about 15 mins or so. Incidentally, my bluetooth also stopped working at the same time.

Diamond freezes or TouchFlo appears to be broken

First I was afraid that my creen is broken, but it is only theTouchFlo...
did you ever see this?

It is only the TouchFlo!!! Everything else works fine!!!
Also in the last few days I had some problems with my Diamond, it always breaks down, and it never did in the last few month!
I already did a hard reset, nothing changes...
I formated the flash to prevent viruses....
Can somebody help me? Should I buy a mobile anti-virus, is that really necessary?
WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON???
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT / UPDATE / SOLUTION:
I found the solution to this problem.
Like somebody told in this thread it is a software problem!
It seams to be an error in the ROM, that even a hardreset cannot restore.
So I flashed a newer ROM to my Diamond. It was the first time I did that, so I did not really know how it works. But at the end it was really easy.
IT IS JUST IMPORTANT TO READ ALL THE NOTES before you try to flash the ROM.
I upgraded my ROM from 1.93.xxx to 2.03.xxx but it is possible to reflash the same ROM to your device.
How it works?
Just go to http://www.htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=133&act=sd&cat=all
and download the ROM you like. At the moment there are to ROMs avaiable 1.93 and 2.03
So download the one you like (size: +- 100 MB), then READ and FOLLOW all the instructions if it is your first time.
yeah thats happened to me couple of times...it usually happens to me when i leave my diamond plugged in the charger over night...occasionally, the device freezes up or reboots over night (i know this because when i wake up, i get prompted with insert sim passcode screen)

I had something kind of like that except my screen output everything as if I was looking at it through a mirror, but the touch screen locations were still the same.
wow, can i have that skin?
joking, have you tried to re-flash? cool it a bit (5-10 degrees)?
http://diamond.forumotion.net/forum-f2/topic-t131.htm
I have the same problem and cannot isolate why it happens, but it is a coincident it happens when plugged in charger.
Only way I found to clear it is soft reboot

its just a software related issue, not hardware (at least i dont think). But it happens to me very rarely...hasnt caused any issues.
It started 1 week ago on my phone...
I installed an Anti-Virus to check, but found nothing.
I did hardreset, now my diamond freezes less often.
But what can it be? And I dont know how to install a new ROM version, or how to complet flash the ROM...
And when I sent my diamond back to HTC this takes over a month to get it back, because here in Luxembourg they are so F***ING slow!
So, this is an edit of the message above:
I updated my Touch Diamond now from ROM 1.93.xxx to 2.03.xxx
It was kinda easy, you just have to go to the HTC Homepage, then to Diamond Support and Downloads.
THEN IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS IF IT IS YOUR FIRST TIME, so read!
I will tell you then in a few days if it had some affections to the problems I have with my diamond!
EDIT / UPDATE 1:
The phone seams to work a bit faster with the new ROM then with the older.
GSensor Calibration is already installed on this new ROM
New Version of Google Maps
And I think a newer version of Youtube.
Although some System Updates and Internet Sharing is now in choose-list when connecting to PC

USB device not recognized

All of a sudden I started getting this error when plugging into my PC.
I booted into the bootloader (tricolor screen) and still didn't work. It charges but doesn't connect properly.
I have searched around and read a few things (disable advanced networking, take out battery for 30 mins) Nothing seems to work.
Seems like it's a device problem... any suggestions because I'm kind of screwed here.

Hit up htcwiki.com there is a solution there, I had the same problem and it sorted itself out by buying a docking station station. I also use a three adapter (3.5mm head, sync cable and headset)which also works.
If you have the same issue as me chances are that your pda does not charge when connected either.
Hope this helps
No, as stated, mine charges when plugged in... I have a cradle, but it hooks up with the same usb cable so I can't see how that would make it better... it's just essentially an extension isn't it?
Could be a glitch in the phones software, a cable going bad, a plug going bad or a windows problem.
I've gone through a few cables and a dock, something always gets bent or something and it won't sync, I just grab another cable and it works. It's a shame the dock is bad now, it will only charge.

+1 All of a sudden a few weeks ago, my phone stopped syncing, panic, because I flash a lot . Tried everything, the list of things to try over at htcwiki was edited by me, and nothing worked, until I changed the cable. Voila ! been working ever since.
No good... not working even on another PC with another cable... and it worked before on that setup.
Um you only have troubleshot half of it. Did you say you reset the phone? LOL oh yeah my phone never worked on the original cable. Just because something was cool for one minute doesnt' mean it won't **** up the next.
Hard reset the phone. If that doesnt' work, than you are one step closer to a broken phone.
Have fun lol.

Found my problem in the last post (second to last post now )
My 2nd pin (closest to the middle) was laying flat and didn't have the curve the others had.. so it wasn't making contact. I used a caligraphy pen to get under it and pop it back up and now it works... I'm sure I'll have to keep an eye on it but for now it's working.
Hope this helps others that are reading everyone saying "it's the cable" and that isn't your problem

Which OS on your comp. are you using Denco? I've been using vista with no problems until now and it's more than funny how this syncing issue has just been popping up all over (most likely from vista updates). First instinct with vista is updates and firewall; killed and accepted every option, still with no dice. I seriously doubt it's the cables since they worked just fine for the last several hundred syncs and now sync problems abound...any help would be appreciated brother

Yep... that pin is half of the data (1st pin is ground, last is power and two in the middle are data)... obviously ground and power are working as it charged, but if one of the data lines isn't making contact then the PC is going to be confused because it knows something is there just not getting enough info.
I tried everything, straightened my pins, shut off firewalls and security, I use Windows Xp running with Bootcamp on an iMac. I have never installed service pack 3, because I read that , that was a problem with syncing. Shut off advanced network functionality, everything I could think of.
I had sync'd a thousand times with that cable, and flashed at least one hundred roms. Then one day it just stopped syncing. After pulling my hair out for two days, trying everything, I pulled a new cable out of the overflowing cable draw, fixed, haven't had a problem since. Go figure !

HUh, It seems you might be right about a simple cable replacement. My previous cable synced me up for several hundred syncs and just crapped out one day; dug up one of my older cables and it synced just fine and now it just took a dive for charging but not syncing. Guess I'll have to hit Best Buy for a new one. Like you said; go figure. Although I noticed some new gray hairs sprouting from searching and tweaking for fix
Buy online.... Best Buy RAPES you on cables!

"use genuine battery" message

Hi there,
I've been using CM all the time, but now I decided to switch back to stock rom.
I installed everything properly but after boot up, I got the message "use genuine battery" and the phone shuts down.
Of course I am using my original battery that was in the package.
I tried without success:
- pressing PowerOn-button for 20 seconds when battery unplugged
- cleaning battery contacts with nail polisher
By googling I found this advise that shoud fix the problem:
Many LG Models have a common error of saying Use Genuine Battery then powering off. This is a very common and fixable issue. please understand that this method will most on most LG phones but does exclude the 8100 and older models, and the exact location of the items you'll be looking for in programming will vary model to model.
If you encounter this error you can attempt to correct the phone if you have another battery for the phone that will power the handset up.
Install the battery that is working
Type in: ##LGSERVICEMENU send (##5473784296368) on the dialpad.
enter the security code: 000000
locate: SW/HW Tests or HW test or SW/HW Versions
once you locate and select the correct field you need to find "bypass booting"
in this menu you need to locate fake battery mode select it and choose on.
Your LG will now work with any battery that fits into the phone.

I tried this and borrowed a battery from a friend. With this battery everthing worked fine. But unfortunately the service-menu as described by typing ##5473784296368 didnt work on my 4xHD. Instead I tried the hidden menu 3845#*880#. But there I wasn't able to find anything like "fake battery" or so.
Does anybody know where this menu point could be?
My phone is too old so I wont get a new battery from LG Service.
thanks in advance :good:
Try this number: 3845#*880# maby is that option in this menu

hello read what he said:
I tried this and borrowed a battery from a friend. With this battery everthing worked fine. But unfortunately the service-menu as described by typing ##5473784296368 didnt work on my 4xHD. Instead I tried the hidden menu 3845#*880#. But there I wasn't able to find anything like "fake battery" or so.
Ok @eFCiKay maybe you should enter in recovery and wipe all partitions, this would be fix that problem.
If i was right please hit the thanks button
Have a nice day!

Did you SERIOUSLY just recommend that the OP simply wipe all partitions in order to fix a battery problem? Really? I guess he'd be so pi$$ed off at no longer having a phone which would boot that he would no longer notice the battery problem?
If this is the level of your advice to help people out then I suggest you stop bashing on your keyboard and find something else to do with your time instead.
And to top it all off you beg for thanks at the bottom of your post
thanks for all answers
of course I would have been aware of, that in case I'd wipe all partitions, I need to reflash recovery and rom.
But could this really fix the problem?
I even tried another baseband (v10h and v20a)
Just re-read your first post properly.
You have been using CM with no issues, but when you went back to Stock this started happening? What Stock have you gone back to? Given that, I'd be tempted to do a full KDZ reflash and see if that makes any difference as it's possible something has gone wrong when you've reflashed.
Although, if I read right, you used a friend's battery with no problems? Just buy an OEM battery from eBay and see if that fixes it.

pfffff..... that it's a problem, you should charge your battery with a phone battery charger device and when it's fully charged or 80% put the battery on the phone plug the usb on the phone press down volume button and plug the usb to your computer (you will need to have phone driver installed)
and flash the fw with kdz.
just give one more chance to your battery!
Fix Maybe?
Hello,
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but just for information in case anyone else comes over this issue and end up on this thread.
I found with my p880 that one of the battery prongs on the phone was bent in so that it didn't attach properly to the battery connection.
I got a pin and hooked it underneath, then pull the pin slightly out which brought it back in line with the others.
I then got cleaning alcohol, I used isopropyl, to clean all the contacts.
After doing this I found the error message went away and the phone works as it should.
Hope this helps someone else with the problem.
Regards,
Monkey

Hey
My phone just died in my hands and now doesn't want to boot in any mode.
I searched a solution already on the internet, I tried the testpoint method, I succeed to make my computer and miflash recognizing my phone but when I'm launching the flash, it always fails (I tried a few times).
I used different versions of miflash (even the beta one) and different rom (global/china stable).
Miflash is sometimes missing hello packets, sometimes going further with "0x8000ffff: Send configure command" or even worst as in these screens..

Yes, I tried already, nothing change..
But for the 2 screens, internet says that it happens and that I have to use the 2015.10.28 version but when I do, I still got the "send configure command" fail..
Here is a screen:
Try using a different:
1. Cable
2. USB port (rear port is recommend)
3. Computer.
It helped me a lot with stupid errors in miflash

Already did (and tried again to be sure) but nothing changed
I think your mobo just died... Or at least, try with a DIY deep flash cable
Some people have solved it by disarming the smartphone, disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it

I tried so many things that I think it died too..
But it is weird, it died so fast, I got the phone less than a year ago..
Oh and 1-2 weeks before it died, my phone had some big freeze screen when I was trying to access to my pictures and I had to long press power button to make it restart. My mi5 died during one of these freezes, that's why I didn't think firstly that it was an hardware bug..
So I think that I'll send it back to the seller (but I don't even know if the free warranty covers motherboard death..

Why shouldn't it? If you bought the phone from a china seller, you will have a 1y warranty
memory chip died

Do you think that I could recover my internal storage after that or not?
Thanks to all who have tried to help me with this problem
