My screen is broken of my huawei mate 20 lite. Unfortunately my holiday pictures are on this device.
Is it possible to save them?
I already tried/checked:
- Google back-up: they aren't there.
- Huawei back-up: they aren't there.
- Connecting the devide to my computer: it doesn't recognize it because it is locked.
if you don't have android debugging enabled, I don't think there is a way to get at them (except for replacing your screen)..if you have android debugging, there are several apps you can push to the phone in recovery mode that let you mirror the display on your PC, which would help you solve your issues..

Hi everyone. I have searched the forums with no luck. I have a I9000 that has a shattered screen and as a result there is no image on the screen nor will touch work at all....I know, big surprise right? My goal is to get the data off of the phone. The phone is booting as I can hear the sounds and responds to Doanload/Recovery Mode commands etc. Before I would plug it into PC via USB and I would have to select one of three options on how the USB should behave. One of those options would enable Kies to access the phone. Because the screen is damaged, how can I force the phone to connect with Kies, or the computer for that matter?
All help is greatly appreciated.

hi, it will depend on what the usb is set to, if you switch the phone on and connect to the PC you should be able to use it as an external disk. If not start Kies then connect and it should connect, then you can recover your files

Hi thanks for the reply. Kies actually doesn't recognize the phone and suggests that I turn on Developer Mode (if I remember correctly).
I read of a way to recover the data by activating the Recovery Mode and plugging in to USB. The issue there is I would almost need screenshots of the menus to try and navigate through and mount the device since the screen is unusable.

Strange experience, you can also try some of these options:
(i) Can use the TV out cable so that the screen is displayed on an external display [Use the 3.5mm TV out cable, even Nokia TV out cable works]
(ii) For using recovery, you should know the cwm/kernal that was installed, as the menu options vary? if not, what last ROM version you had installed, this may also help you get the exact recovery menu options.

I will try that with a 3.5mm to RCA that I have from a digital camera and see if that works. I have never rooted the phone so it's stock and whatever the latest Android version for that phone is. I THINK its 2.3.1 but not sure.
Hello all..
I'm sorry if this is the wrong section, but I can't connect my problem to anything similar..
I've been removing system apps on my phone and, unfortunately I selected Lg Home in a group, and without noticing I deleted it.
I did restart it after it.. and the problems started.
I was able to select the custom Home by LG somehow, but I'm enable to go into settings (getting "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.")
After that, I noticed that I cannot do really anything on the phone.. my PC no longer recognize my device, usb debugging is disabled.
In addition, I cannot get into fastboot (boot loop, when I'm holding the keys),
I cannot go into recovery too.
I could only get to the LG hard reset page, did reset the phone.. with no success at getting anything back.
I have terminal emulator and SuperSU on my phone (it's rooted).
Is there anything I can do with the terminal? Like send LG drivers to my PC, or restarting in fastboot/recovery?
I even tried to flash the original ROM with LG Flesh Tool.
With that program I cannot get phone information, and when I try to flash I get a message saying that Upgrade stopped due to an error.
It asked me to restart and bla bla.. still same
I did try it from download mode, but my phone did not got recognized on the PC again, so nothing there too.
Whenever I connect the device to the PC, windows is searching for drivers for MTP Usb Driver (and fails everytime). Note: I did have those installed before I messed up the phone.
I have ADB and I'm working with cordova, so I tried to install another andorid on my pc, and it got recognized right away (every driver was installed without doing anything, and I can shell it).
Any advice?
Thanks.
Sorry for spamming..
But, nothing really??
Hello guys,
So my screen got broken ]:, but touch is working.
I was wondering if someone can upload a screenshot of mi 8 screen when connecting it with usb to pc?
I want to at least extract the photos, but I need to enable access to pc when connecting it to pc, but screen is black.
I have miui 10, and debugging is on.
Is there a way to maybe cast the phone to my tv?. touch is working, but I obviusly cant get\dont know hot enable wirlesss casting since screen is black so I dont know what im pressing.
Thanks
maybe in recovery mode? I think TWRP has file transfer or at least ADB enabled by default. Don't know about xiaomi recovery, but you could try
Go twrp recovery connect to pc you will get your storage phone stuff all inside copy what you want.
Hi
After googleing a lot and trying at least 1001 ADB and Fastboot-tutorials I still am stuck. I only want to flash my A2 with stock ROM, but as soon as fastboot kicks in the connection stops.
My phone is unstable (how? see below) but not bricked! I can ...
... access recovery mode and fastboot anytime
... establish data and PTP connections to my PC (Win 10)
... use it normally (apps, WLAN ...) as long as flight mode is on!!!!! :cyclops:
... connect the phone with XiaoMi Tool V2 to my PC
but as soon as fastboot kicks in I loose connection.
Meanwhile I'm out of ideas how to establish fastboot-connection.
Here's the reason I want to flash - in case it matters: After an Andorid update (or at least it seems this is the reason) the screen started to unlock/lock erratically. There never was enough time to enter the code, so I made a factory reset. The problem still prevails, but without screenlock (and looooots of patience) I can access my phone. Debugging and bootloader are turned on now. The only way to stop this screenlock/unlock behavior is to turn on flight mode ...
If the phone is connected to a PC I can hear the "unplug sound" as soon as fastboot starts and XiaoMi Tool V2 looses connection.
BTW: Even with many attempts I never managed to establish a connection to Mi PC suite.
And the USB-connection-preferences very often turn to "no data connection". To fix this I usually have to plug out/in or even change USBport or even the computer.
What should I try to flash mi Mi A2?
Thanks and greetings
Phillip

Sounds strange . Does RIL work ? Like gsm and sim card ...anyway you need to buy a screwdriver from Amazon or Wish or Whereever and open your phone ..
Search for tutorial videos on youtube on " test point " . You will short the phone forcing it into edl ( deep flash ) mode . In edl you don't use fastboot but rather qualcomm 9008 drivers .
You can flash stock rom with QPST ( Qualcomm flash tool ) or just the regular Miflash from Xiaomi .
In any case ..UNINSTALL ALL I SAY ALL the stuff you have installed on your pc right now including adb .Reboot .Install Qualcomm 9008 drivers .Then download the LATEST VERY NEWEST version of Miflash that comes with drivers ..follow the instructions to install drivers and Mifash itself .
Then follow video tut to enter edl state with test point
VERY IMPORTANT HAVE MIFLASH PREPARED to flash very soon as in 1 or 2 minutes after you enter edl because there is a timeout after which you will get errors and would have to do the test point again ...
Good luck ..if the phone is stolen or contains stolen parts or you used some bypass to enter it to bypass lock screen once it connects to internet or gsm the troubles will most probably return ..if it was or is just some glitch this will solve it .
Thanks for your help!
I’m not familiar to what RIL is all about. I just googled it, and I guess it works. I can receive SMS when flight mode is turned off and I get a 4G-connection. I can’t do phone calls, but that’s due to the screenlock-problem as soon as flight mode is turned off. I can’t even enter a phone number then … :silly:
I never heard of edl before but found videos. I’ll give it a try. Thanks for all your tips, especially about the edl-timeout. :good:
One last question before I start regarding the uninstalling of EVERYTHING … How can I be sure, I got rid of EVERYTHING? Windows program uninstall showed be "Mi PC Suite", "Universal ADB driver" and "Windows driver package Android USB device class …" I uninstalled all of it.
But I also used Minimal ADB/fastboot and XiaoMi Tool V2 (and probably other stuff I don’t remember anymore) as portable versions. I can delete those fodlers, but is that really enough regarding the drivers that were installed?

sure for the portables just delete the folders
Giving up
Screwdrivers arrived, disassembling the phone was surprisingly easy. Actually hitting the tinytiny EDL-contacts was surprisingly difficult on the other hand. :silly: But I managed. But also with EDL my computer pretends my mobile doesn’t exist when plugged in. I guess there must be a hardware-problem somewhere. A this point I give up and buy another one. Thanks for your support, KevMetal.

Sorry didn't work friend. Are you sure ? Did you remember to install Qualcomm 9008 drivers from Qualcomm ? Remembering to disable driver verification on windows 10 ...try just more time ...who knows ..
I used a computer with windows 7, because I found on the internet that there are less problems than with Win 10 …
