Hi,
I need some help getting data off my broken Galaxy s6 for ATT (G920A). The screen broke down and does not come back on. To make things worse I do not have the developer options or USB debugging turned on.
I am able to hear all sounds from the phone after its turned on (including volume up and down after hitting the home button a few times since that unlocks the phone to home screen)
When I connect the phone to my pc by using the att cable, found new device shows S6 and an icon appears in 'My computer' on opening the phone folder its empty (I am guessing the phone is going to 'USB charging' option as compared to MTP or Midi)
Really hoping an expert here could give some suggestions if there is any way for me to get my photos and other data out of this device.
Appreciate all the help.
Thanks,
Matt

Hello Everyone,
I think I might have bricked my Fascinate using Tasker, but am very hopeful someone here can help.
I wanted to set-up a profile to turn off the volume and screen when my phone was placed face-down, which looked easy enough. First I programmed the volume off and tested it and it worked perfectly. Then I added turning the screen off which also worked perfectly, until I turned the phone face-up and the screen did not turn back on.
I can get the screen to comee on when I call the phone, but only while the phone is face-down, and I can't answer the phone or do anything. NO LED will come on signifing that I missed a call, but when I press the power button to bring up the lock screen NO LED disappears and the phone screen goes black again.
When I plug the phone into the computer via USB, I hear the beep signifing that the pop-up screen asking if I want to mount the sd card, but I can't select anything because...THE SCREEN IS BLACK!!
Thanks in advance for any help,
You should be able to fix it if you have debugging enabled and can use adb. Not sure of the exact method, but it can be done.
If You have usb debugging on you can delete tasker and you should be fine.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I had USB debugging on, but I think I might have turned it off. I really can't remember.
So, if debugging is off, there isn't anything thing else I can do?
Throw water on it and bring it back to VZW...
If you are rooted, this is why its a good practice to make Nandroid backups
Just like the title says. I was in a car accident a few days ago and my phone got thrown around and the amoled is cracked. I turned off the option to turn on usb debugging when connected and now I need to find a way to get it turned on so that I can control my phone through the pc. Any ideas?
You'll need to navigate by going with where it is approximately on the screen. Then to verify that it's connected just adb devices if nothing returns try it again. Here are some pics to show you where to press on the screen (red arrows show where).
NOTE: this starts at the settings screen to get there just press menu then the bottom right corner.
Thank you for the screens. I guess I should have mentioned that I'm running CM7, so I might have a little trouble with the first step, adjusting for the extra cm settings and adw settings. Thanks again.
here's the Settings for ADW EX.
hopefully its in the same spot.
Right well the story goes, i got hit by a car 2 days ago and my galaxy note screen is smashed, the screen is completely black and unresponsive to touch i think ( as the menu and the back button light up when i press the home button. I cant seem to unlock the phone. Also when connecting to Kies it just stay on "connecting" but never actually connects, there's pictures and music and important work docs on there, especially all my contacts.
So is there any way i can get onto the phone and access all the data and get it ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My suggestion would be to reboot to recovery and try to mount storage from there using hardware keys to navigate. This is risky though seeing as how you can't see what is on the screen but if you know the exact version of CWM it shouldn't be too hard to do, especially if you can get someone else to guide you through using their device as a reference point.
My screen has been shattered but still functional for months now, but the phone finally gave up on me. The phone currently does the following
I took the battery out and put back in. I try starting the phone and the at&t tune plays as usual, as well as the notification LED fading from light blue to dark blue over and over and the two touch keys light up but the screen never comes on or lights anything at all. Also, the blue notification LED continues to fade in and out and the touch keys stay lit up as if the phone is constantly trying to boot.
I plug it into my laptop but it does not appear in the device and drive folder. One thing I did discover is that when I open up Computer Management (Windows 8) and go to the Device Manager tab, and then the Portable Devices tab and it does appear as "samsung mobile mtp device". So I know the phone is making connection with the computer and vice versa but I need help trying to copy all the data to my laptop. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
In my case i attach Samsung to hdmi adapter to check - what messages are displayed on the screen if any. Also try to boot in recovery, if it present and make backup from there - not sure if hdmi signal will work in such case. Also you can re-flash firmware, that does not wipe user data - but still risky.
