Stuck on "Cover View" after screen replacement - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

Hi folks,
I recently ordered what appeared to be original huawei p9 replacement screen together with metal frame and replaced broken screen. Phone now boots normally, I can also boot to fastboot and recovery, but unfortunately phone doesn't have ADB debugging and OEM unlock turned on.
When phone boots normally, I can get only to the lock screen of "Smart view" or "cover view", so I cant unlock phone or anything else. I tried also with mouse via OTG, no luck...
Anyone have some other idea that I can try? If i could enter settings to turn off cover screen all would be good
Edit: Sry for duplicate thread, please delete this one.

hmmm, i think that u might covered the poximity sensor. a factory reset would solve the problem

Check your sub board or the flat cable connecting it to main board. Its easy to test it, just turn on your phone without sub board connected and see if you are still stuck in cover mode.

Stuck at boot screen

I'm stuck at the "Tap the screen to set up your Windows Mobile-based device." The screen on my HTC 8125 has been acting flakey... working sometimes, but mostly not. A friend thought he would help out, and thought hard reseting the device might help. Now I'm stuck at the tap this screen message, only the touch screen isn't working and is not accepting the tapping. Am I completely outta luck without a phone now?? At least before I could make and answer phone calls. Now, NOTHING. Just this screen. IF there is any way around this that anyone knows of, PLEASE let me know!!
Thank you
I think you have a hardware problem
Maybe the flex
maybe the microcontroler
maybe the rom Try a new again instead the one you have
for skip this screen alignment try to search on the forum there are many ways
I simply conect it to activesync even if it is stucked at this screen it syncs with your pc via activesync... then go to explore...Windows folder.... startup... and delete the file called welcome.lnk then softreset.
Yeah my wizard is stuck to @ tab the screen etc.
I can't connect to activesync becuase activesync does not detect the phone.
Nevermind!

thanks!
1. Do a soft reset. (small hole on the right side)
2. When screen is black hold camera button, this will boot into bootloader
3. Connect USB cable (USB will show over left softkey)
4. Try to flash a new ROM.
I did this process a few times with different roms.. the best I had was using the HardSPL process, and then the NBD_v8.3_8MB rom.

Z3 Compact - Half dead?!

Hello, I have Z3 Compact D5803. The back (glass cover that is bonded factory) was beginning to lift off in the middle and I put a (micro) droplet of glue. The phone was turned off and the procedure was carried out carefully and without any spill. After a few days, I decided to turn it on, however, did not see anything, tried all possible combinations, but it is not working. When I plug it into the wall charger the display lights up momentarily with the Sony logo, lit red LED and then immediately restarts. This thing is going indefinitely, I have even left it plugged for 24 hours, but it keeps boot looping. Detached rear cover to look inside, everything looks fine, not even a trace of my gluing work.
Any ideas?

Have you tried the hard reset button ?
Look under the flap where you put the sim, next to it is a tiny button hole, press this.

Yes, nothing happens...
I can only put it in fastboot mode (blue LED on black screen), while it's connected to the PC.
Well If fastboot works then this shouldn't really be much of a problem , simply fastboot flash any kernel with a custom recovery and flash a ROM. If that doesn't work then you might be facing a hardware issue and the best course of action would be to send it in for repair
But there is no way to correctly see it in Windows. Tried to install drivers, but it keeps stay as a "S1Boot Fastboot" device in Windows 10.

Can you detect it via ADB? Go to adb ( found in Android SDK ), open command window there and type fastboot devices, something should come up ( Assuming you have the fastboot drivers installed ) You can also use flashtool if you don't have the SDK Installed but install drivers first

I think your drivers have not been installed correctly. It is a bit of a hassle in Windows 10 since you need to disable driver signature verification. I successfully installed the drivers from Flashtool after doing this.

Either your battery is completely dead or you have a hardware problem. What happens if you try to charge your phone?

Broken Screen, Need USB Debug mode on.

So this is for my dad's phone. He dropped it and the screen and the LCD panel part busted so the whole screen is all black. Can't see a single thing on it. He got a new (read:refurbished) one so that's not an issue. I'm trying to use a screen mirroring program to factory reset the phone before he sends it back to Motorola. Issue seems to be those programs require USB debugging mode to be turned on but since the screen is all black, I can't do that. I even tried doing multiple screenshots and guessing where things were but it didn't work (worried the top of the phone's touch digitizer is busted too but i'm hoping for the best lol). So I need a way to turn on USB debug mode, with a totally black screen (touch still works), NOT ROOTED, so I can then mirror it with the MirrorGo or Vysor mirroring software so I can factory reset the device. If you have any thoughts for a simpler fix then I'm open to suggestions. I'm not tech savvy enough to do anything with Rooting and i'm not confident enough to try doing that with a busted phone (if it's even possible), so that's an option that's out too. :/

You can go into recovery mode and do the factory reset there, it's probably the easiest way to do it.

Yea, i tried that with the bootloader/fastboot thing. It didn't seem to work. I can barely tell if the device is even ON, only indication it's on is the volume rocker makes a noise to indicate volume and the bottom buttons light up. So being able to tell if the device is even IN it's bootloader mode thing was a crapshoot. I'm gonna need either a way to screen mirror in real time without debugging mode on, or a way to enable debug mode remotely essentially.

Stuck on boot logo after replacing screen

Today I replaced my cracked Redmi 4X screen. The replacement consisted of a screen+digitizer+frame assembly (no messing with a heat gun to detach screen+digitizer from frame). I think it went fairly well, took my time and didn't force anything.
However, when testing the screen halfway through reassembly, it was stuck on the mi logo. I decided to complete the reassembly, thinking maybe it did a hardware test and refused to boot as i hadn't reconnected all parts. No such luck, even when i use the old screen it doesn't boot .
The charging led also doesn't come on when attached to a charger or laptop usb port, which seems weird. I think the battery is about 50% but right now i can't even turn it off. It just reboots when holding the power button. It doesn't enter recovery when I hold the volume-up button. I do get a fastboot logo when booting with the volume-down button. But no response on the USB cable and the logo just stays on exactly like the mi logo in normal boot. I'm not sure but I think fastboot is supposed to show some kind of menu interface? Or is it normal to see a fastboot logo only?
I've read some other posts about Xiaomi phones using different brands of digitizers, having to clear the cache to reset it and accept a different brand, but when I detach the digitizer it doesn't boot either .
I could try a factory reset with mi flash but it requires Windows which i don't have easy access to (if it even detects the phone). Perhaps there's a way to rescue it that doesn't involve losing all data, i might as well just buy a new phone if i have to reinstall/configure everything. anyway.
Any ideas?

Screen is dead after disconnecting/reconnecting battery.

My phone went to an endless bootloop after a botched attempt to install TWRP. I tried hard pressing the power button to no avail, and I can't access fastboot either. That's why I removed the back cover and disconnected the flex cable from the battery on the phone's motherboard.
Later on, I reconnected my phone's battery after my shift ended, then I tried to flash my stock rom through SP Flash Tool + bypass tool python script and it went through with a success. However, this time, my screen seems to be completely dead but my phone is still showing some signs of life (short vibration when pressing the power button, but since then it seems that it takes a few seconds more from pressing the power button to turn it on. ) I reconnected and disconnected everything to see whether or not I missed out something but the issue still persists.
The computer reads the device as "Android ADB interface" and the adb console reads it as *device id* unauthorized when I ran adb devices command. There's no notification light whenever I plug it into the charger.
Is my screen dead, or is my motherboard toast? I need to know as I don't want to spend money to buy a replacement LCD only to know that the motherboard's dead. I don't really care about the IMEI as I'm just going to use it as an authorization device for work. I can just always connect to Wi-Fi. Please advise.
One problem after another, so it seems.
Turns out I already unbricked the phone, but the thing is that my display's backlight got busted for some reason. Unless I shine a flashlight through it, I won't know what's in the screen. I'm currently on the way to get a replacement screen, and a new battery cover.
I guess this will be the last Xiaomi device that I'll ever get. This is the only time that I experienced such flimsy build quality since the LG G4.
Maybe you have destroyed a lil cable or something.
