Hello everyone,
I just dropped my Nexus 6 and now the display is completely broken. I tried re-starting the phone but obviously no chance.
Is there a way to start the phone, decrypt it and then download all files from it -> without a working display?
The ice on the cake would be if I could also somehow run a TitaniumBackup.
Thanks !

Decrypting the device will wipe all user data, so that will only defeat what you are trying to do.

I decrypt the phone everytime I boot it and enter my password/pattern ?

That is not decrypting it. That is just setting it with a password for booting. DU doesnt use force encryption. If you had followed XDA rules you would have known this as it has been posted about hundreds if not thousands of times.

My phone status says: encrypted
When booting into TWRP it asks me to enter the password for decryption
I can adb into the phone and open a shell.
How ever, it seems like "/storage/emulated/0/" is empty.. ?

Should I try to remove /data/system/gesture.key ?

That's because TWRP can read and write to encrypted storage. It doesn't mean the storage is permanently decrypted. Permanently decrypting internal storage will wipe data, as @zelendel said.
Regarding your issue, deleting gesture.key likely will render your data permanently inaccessible.

I got into problems yesterday. I've encrypted my device some months ago and it was working fine.
Last night I don't what happend but it switched off itself and once i tried to start it, I saw bootsreen, then lock screen and after inserting pin, nothing happens, I only see black screen with some light in the background.
Now Issue it, I have soo many important files on my device, is there any way to copy that data? Because i'm not able to access it via usb since my device is not able to reboot itself properly after lockscreen..
I will appreciate any help, and will give reward once i'll get my data back.
Thank you.
Ps: I'm using 5.0.2 (XT1068)
Pss: I tried to wipe cache but it didn't helped.
No one?
I'm able to boot into fastboot and adb also but in ADB my device is listed as unauthorized device and i'm not able to see confirmation dialogue on device screen :/

If you have unlocked bootloader then TWRP should be able to mount /data so you could copy it to your pc using adb.

Sadly it's not, I'm gonna take to nearest service center tomorrow, if they are unable to do it, i guess try this TWRP method.
If you have any other idea, let me know.

Flashing TWRP will require bootloader unlock which wipes your data.
You can boot in twrp without install
Fastboot boot twrp-2.xxxx.img
Then you can use adb to pull files.

Hi Guys.
So recently I posted about resetting nexus 6 to factory default so I can send it off for a warranty repair.
In the mean time. I've dropped it about 20 times.
The glass is cracked and the screen is broken too.
I want to back everything up before sending the device off for a repair but there's a problem.
The device has a pin at boot and I can't get in because the digitizer is dead.
Whenever I try to use adb it just says "offline".
Is there any way I can get around this and make a backup??
please help thanks
can i dirty flash something from bootloader? i don't care if it breaks all the apps because I just want to boot the device and pull /sdcard/ via adb. Any help pleeeeeeeeaaaaase

first off, question and need for help gets posted in the q&a/help section, ill ask a mod to move your thread there. and secondly, you can flash the factory img via fastboot, via your bootloader
Use an otg cable and mouse to punch in the pin? Or will that not work that early in the boot process?
btw, you can boot into the recovery and use adb.
thanks for replies. I can't get into recovery it asks for a password. When I try to access the device through ADB it says "device offline"
If I flash factory through bootloader will it wipe all the pictures n stuff?

if you unlock the bootloader, it will. if its already unlocked, you can flash a certain way, to keep your data.

hi thanks.
Bootloader is unlocked and device running chroma rom and twrp recovery. i think forced encryption is on but I didn't decrypt the device.
Please advise how to flash and keep data. If I reflash will the pin disappear so i can backup??

itll probably ask you for your code again. and if you could get into recovery, you could make a nandroid backup of your rom, then restore it onto another n6 later. anyways, i *think* you just avoid flashing the userdata.img, but i could be wrong. see if you can google it.

how will I get into recovery after flashing? Won't it still be asking for a password?

you will have a stock recovery after flashing the factory.img, youd have to flash twrp again, via fastboot via your bootloader. if you will still have that issue, i dont know.

How could this be a warranty repair?
Hi,
Well as I said I'd dropped in after logging a warranty repair with Motorola. The problem was with the volume rocker getting stuck when I pressed the up or down buttons.
I was just giving some background
Unfortunately I didn´t know my display code any more after a long vacation and now I have the problem that I can´t access my data. I tried all I could with adb and other stuff, but it all didn´t work, because my phone doesn´t have USB-debbuging enabled. I tried to do anything in recovery mode, but I dont really know what to do.
Does anyone have an idea how I could access my data maybe by booting a new system on it or something.
I would appreciate the help!
If you can't decrypt data because of forgotten password, then unfortunately you have to say goodbye to your data

I can´t do anything with adb sideload maybe or boot a different system?
If you have encrypted your phone and it's asking you for your Secure Start on-Boot pin (when you turn it on and during the booting it asks you for a pin), there's nothing you can do.
If you can't remember your Lockscreen Pin on OOS, then you can fix it.

Hey folks,
I'm having trouble regaining access to my device.
I own Xiaomi Mi A2, and sadly it has been stuck on boot loop since around 10 days.
The issue occurred whilst it was being used on split screen mode. Device suddenly lag spiked and froze for a couple of minutes, then restarted and has been boot looping ever since on ‘android one’ screen.
–Device information–
Device: Xiaomi Mi A2
ROM: (system ROM has been untouched)
OS: Android 10
OEM: Locked
Bootloader: Locked
Root access: False
USB debugging: Disabled
Recovery mode: Accessible
Fastboot: Accessible
My question is, are there any method/s which let's regain access to the device whilst keeping all the data (including installed applications and their data) intact as they were prior to the ill-fated incident?
It may or may not affect the further procedures but it should be noted that i have attempted to force restart the device several times from recovery mode and it hasn't been any helpfull at all. The device seems to be bricked.
— I have explored on several other threads and forums, folks who were dealing with similar issues.
Then again, is it possible to fully recover the device with little to no data loss?
Any kind of provided help will be much appreciated!
Regards~

None that is why the bootloader comes locked.
If you had previously unlocked, maybe flashing twrp you be able to decrypt and adb pull via twrp or use mtp

With locked phone all SW backdoors are locked. The major hope is that after numerous reboot attempts phone will finally boot into the other slot, presumably having operative ROM version. The other hope is that it is a minor HW glitch like internal cable disconnection.

So there is still a hope.. at the very least.
Would that mean manually rebooting via recovery mode or just by holding the power button all day long...

I'd try this:
reboot > (fast)boot
load TWRP boot.img
then use the fix boot loop option in advance settings and see what happens.

Stolen locked phone still can be reflashed in EDL/TEST-point. Unlocked bootloader won't expose your data if you are still using encryption and pwd-protection; Magisk still is capable to hide unlocked state (though Google can stop this any moment). So, IMO until Google does not enforce server SafetyNet checks in a way that cannot be tricked by Magisk devs, there are 0 reasons to have phone locked.
if you can get to fastboot mode try to run the "fastboot continue" command from adb.
Hi everyone,
I have similar issue on my xioami a2 lite. The phone stuck on bootloop.
I have UNlocked bootloader and fastboot is accessible. (the devices is rooted)
I think that the problem is "low space", in this days I saw the notification of low space available and often the phone restarted automatically.
Can I fix this? can recover data?
Is the possibility of deleting some files from a PC wrong as an idea? but how?
Very very thanks
Other questions: Can I try to erase cache from fastboot command? It's safe?
Update: I try to boot in TWPR, but I cannot "data" partition. (invalid password)
I noticed that my default slot is "partition B". (I don't remember witch one is right).
So, I chose Slot A and android will boot, all is OK but Magisk doesn't work. (I think that is flashed on partition B).
Now, I have deleted some files, now there is enough space. I try to set back partition B and android will boot OK but magisk app saw that "root permissions are lost, reinstall default apk".
Can Slot switch breaks magisk? what do you recommend to do?
Is there a chance to unlock password or factory reset x2 pro without password?
Not possible since the device is encrypted and even the recovery needs password to decrypt. The custom recovery shows the encrypted files names when the password is not entered correctly and i am not sure what happens when you delete them or wipe the partition.

I hope it will be solved soon ?
I tried all I have found but nothing works ?
does anyone know if it works with oppo's method of scraping the processor to use the pinouts to force a wipe
