I have a tablet, its not a Tab it is a generic tablet but running a version of AOSP on android 4. It came with a smart home device I use to control it. The problem is the tablet is designed to work exclusively with the home appliance (in this case an air purifier) and nothing else. It sits in a case and has no touch screen buttons when removed from it. I included pics and specs of the tablet. The tablet has been completely unlocked by the manufacturer however the system only boots into the program used for the air purifier. When it starts you can see the Linux symbol in the top left of the black screen until the android logo shows up, then it goes into the full screen program and that's it. You cant get to any options or settings or anything. The best I can do is bring up the keyboard and get into "keyboard settings" and even then I get stuck because I cannot hit any back buttons and there is no on screen controls. So you have to reset the tablet to get out. I am trying to take the application used to control the purifier from the tablet and put it on my PC so I can install it on other tablets and phones. However I cannot do ADB because I cannot access dev options in settings. When I connect to the PC it sees the "flash" drive but it's empty. I was hoping someone may be familiar with a way to connect to the tablet and access the root files when you cant enable USB debugging or how to enable it using older AOSP. Any help or insight is appreciated.

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 ?
* The phone is in camera mode for some reasons when it connects via USB*

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.
Hello,
i need your help to get my HP Touchpad alive. I tried a lot of the tipps around but no one with success.
My problem starts since i tryed to delete the personal settings and restore to factory setting.
Now the Touchpad is only recogniced as H:/ in Windows 7 (USB) and when i go to Device Manager it's a Palm Device Module.
I can switch to Usb-mode (Power +Loudness) and it's possible to connect with Novaterm.
The WebOSDoctor runs only at 4% and stops then without rebooting.
When i start the Pad, there comes a structured screen with a cloudy blue sky and a grey, round button rotating endless. Thats it.
When i connect the Pad to an Ubuntu-Notebook, it's different, because i see the complete structure (apps. pictures, etc).
How can i repair the boot-loop? I also tried the new Touchpad-Program, it starts but i get no menue to decide.
Thanks for any help!
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.
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.
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
