The phone "USB Debugging" not working properly after every reboot. The "USB Debugging" button still "ON" but it only charge the phone when connect to the pc without open a windows with internal storage shown. I have to manually turn the "USB Debugging" OFF and back ON and wait for that 10s warning to make it work again or change the Default USB configuration from "File Transfer" to something else to wake that feature up.
Is that a known bug or hardware related issue ?? Thanks
Well, I use linux (and other phones/tablets) but I usually run into one of these problems:
set the USB-mode of the phone correctly, not just charging ("circle with dot" or similar should show in top bar)
the phone must know the fingerprint of the computer (phone should notify you, so accept and store)
reboot phone after applying such changes (really, I wasted hours on this one, only to realize that only and nothing but a reboot would fix that)
Sometimes even all of them together (but perhaps it really is something specific to your phone)

I will do fastboot flash once the phone bootloader is available for unlock after 168h to see if that fix the problem. Finger cross.

Hi,
I'm having an issue with my diamond. If I connect it to my PC, no matter if it's via AS or as harddrive, the Diamond will go into standby after the period I entered in energy-setting (charging via usb disabled of course).
However this is very unhandy when droping files as I always have to touch the screen to keep the connection alive and no, I don't want it to charge via USB
Is there some Reg-Tweak telling the Diamond not to fall asleep when it's "penetrated"?
I used the search but that subject didn't come up.
Thanks
you can untick in start - settings - system - power - advanced tab the "Turn off device if not used for..." option for both battery and external power use.
that should prevent your phone for going into standby while you're connected to the pc
Start -> Settings -> System -> Power ->Advanced
On external power
remove check from:
Turn off device if not used for

As I said, I don't want to load via USB.

I already knew this trick, but it's uncomfortable. I mean the phone has to realize it's connected to the pc somehow, at least via AS it does. So why doesn't the Diamond think "Hey, I'm currently connected, stupid idea to go sleeping"
No one else having this issue??
It also recognizes running Teeter, preventing it to go stand-by. Isn't there some registry entry, a list of programs, to prevent if from standing by? Probably Teeter does this itself, as foreground running application, while ActiveSync probably does not.
Solution? Run teeter while connected to the PC
Is there any (by all possible means ANY) way to enable USB debugging ON other than turning it on from menu.
This is situation, I got my self a SGS I9000 (had it earlier, now I am proud owner of Galaxy Note) for a bargain (30 €), thing is it is broken. It has fallen on the floor and now there is no image on the screen (touch is not active and sensitive, but soft buttons are sensitive to touch). I know one thing for sure, the phone can be turned on and can use sim card (someone can call me on the phone and I hear the ringing, so I know that phone works only I can't see anything on the screen or interact with it). The corning gorilla glass is not broken, but yet there is no light on the S-AMOLED. I have also opened the phone and all connectors are on the place (please don't tell me it will void my warranty, I wouldn't want it any other way). I figured it to be only a screen replacement fix, but until I have the money for new screen I want to do next thing:
1. Somehow to enable USB Debugging mode
2. To install things through ADB (but I need Debugging mode for that)
3. To put some application (there are many) to stream (screen streaming) what ever is on my phone to pc, so I can control it over pc (ubuntu linux).
Does someone know of some method for enabling USB Debugging in this situation?
I thought of some solutions but I don't know are they applicable at all:
1. Some script that can enable usb debugging when put on SD card
2. Somehow to turn it on with adb or over usb cable
I think the only way to turn USB deb- mode on/off is via menu. There seems no widget like f. E. For 2g/3g.

Hey guys. I'm new here. I've been reading this forum for sometime and it has been really helpfull.
But now I really need help.
I tried to root my ZC500TG, did'nt succeed. But a lot of videos on youtube was saying that zenfone go zc500tg couldnt be rooted. So I uninstalled the root program that I was using. The problem started when a window pop-up saying "interf.sys stop working" or something like that. Then I pressed "ok" and it showed up again, sometimes the message was about another problem, like "google play services has stopped working" or "Settings has stopped working" and it goes on until I turn the phone off, restart it and a few minutes later starts all over again. The messages showed up repeatedly every time i've clicked ok, was hard even to turn the phone off.
Then I learned about fastboot and unlock OEM to see if I could solve the problem with settings or removing some malware.
I did the hard reset, install the original firmware, when the phone update to the latest version, start aaaaall over again.
now my phone stop booting, the fastboot doesnt work, I can't access any kind of command, when I plug the usb cable, the Computer try to connect with the device, but stop, and try again by itself. I plug the battery, but the screen or the led doesnt respond to charging.
What do you guys think, did I burn it or needs computer assistance to make it boot?
Please, forgive my english...

Just reconfirming your statement, your phone does not switch on at all? When you plug it into a power socket, no LED is present? The phone does not function with anything?
Hi all .. I have a phone but nothing appears on the screen and when I connect the phone to the charger shows the sign of the charger until the green sign appears, which means full battery .. What do these things show? Is the screen damaged or motherboard problem ? Please Help
Try holding the power button down for 10 seconds or more, and see if there is any change. Also try power+vol up (which normally boots to bootloader) and hold for 10 seconds or more.

You mean the charging animation on the screen, or just the LED charge light?
If it's showing the charge animation, your screen is okay. And at least have a working bootloader, as well.

I gave another suggestion about holding the power/vol buttons. I have no idea if you tried, and if so, whether there was any change.
Reading the files on internal storage to me, means the phone is booted to OS. So I agree that it appears the phone is on, but screen is either not working, or somehow darkened all the way.
What is the history of this device, and did anything happen before the current condition? Did it just happen spontaneously, or did you drop it or try to open it to fix anything? Try to install anything? Is the phone modified at all (TWRP, root, etc.) or basically still stock? Even if it happened spontaneously, did it happen when you were using it (and if so, what were you doing exactly)? Or just picked it up and it was this way?
I try to press power button 10 sec and more and power+ vol+ nothing happened on screen just vibrate ....the problem for my phone appear without any open to phone

Then connect the phone to a computer, type:
adb devices
And see if your phone's ID is returned, or if there is an error or just hangs "Waiting for device".
If it returns your phone's ID, then the phone is booted to OS (or alternately, booted to custom recovery will also allow adb connection). So to me, this means the phone is on, but the screen is not working (not displaying anything) like you suggested. adb won't connect if the phone is not on (and booted to OS).

the phone now on mtp mode
C:\WINDOWS\system32>adb devices
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
3a55e345 unauthorized
So it looks like adb is connecting. I think it is saying "unauthorized" since the phone's screen is trying to prompt you to authorize adb commands (which you obviously can't see or respond to). But it is obtaining the device's ID code. Which by the way, is unique to your device. So I would advise to remove it from your previous post. Don't know if it is dangerous for other folks to have this, but better safe than sorry. Simply telling us that an ID code was returned, would have been sufficient.
Moral of the story, I am thinking the phone is booted to OS, just the screen is not displaying anything. Screen may be broken, as you somewhat were guessing from your top post. I suppose there is a possibility it may be some software fault. You can try to eliminate this as the cause, by possibly booting to bootloader, which should allow fastboot access, then flash a stock recovery image. Although it may be tricky without seeing the display. Since if you need to see the display, or select anything during the process (don't recall if you do or not), you are out of luck.
Although I tend to think this is a hardware issue. Screen may be malfunctioning. Or it may be as simple as a loose connector.
I bought a 5a from the Google Store in the US back in Nov 2021. I have since moved to New Zealand.
So apparently the Pixel 5a was never released here, so support options are extremely limited. Google store support says I'd need to mail the phone back to the US to get warranty service done. I don't think so.
Here's what happened:
Phone was working fine. Was on a phone call. Screen froze. I could hear the person, but they couldn't hear me. I did a hard reset, and the screen went black and never came back on. The phone itself is working-- vibrations, bluetooth devices connecting, etc. But the screen remains black.
I inspected the screen for microfissures, just in case, but didn't see any. Because of how the BSOD happened, it seems very likely it's a software crash that borked my display.
I'd love to do a factory reset, but I cannot access the bootloader because the screen doesn't come on at all.
Is there a way I can access the bootloader via my laptop through USB cable without having to access the screen at all? I never rooted this phone, so I don't have an easy back door entry to the bootloader.
Thanks in advance for your help.
so, this is "funny", cause it just happened to mine, too. were you on the new 13 release? or did you use the app Repainter? cause I don't know what happened with mine. i was rooted, and thought it had something to do with that. first time it happened, i was able to use the flash tool available in the chrome browser. second time, it didn't work (couldn't reboot to fastbootd) and i had to send it in. anyways, not sure if you would have ever enabled usb debugging. enter fastboot by holding power and volume down. then do a flash with the flash tools. not sure if you'd have to wipe your data. google should receive my 5a tomorrow and hopefully they'll give me an update
so i saw 3 more posts on here about the same problem - one of em in the last week. can't be this common of a problem with other devices

No I'm running stock everything. Not rooted but I turned USB debugging on.
What's the flash tool available in the browser you are referring to? Were you able to factory reset even with a black screen? If so, I need to know details

Android Flash Tool
flash.android.com
have to use chrome
yeah, the first time i was able to restore it. you should be able to tell the phone is still connected. connect the usb, hold the power and vol down buttons until you hear or see the alert it's connected. then select it on the the flash tool. choose the build to flash. i left all the options as default, but you probably don't have to relock the bootloader

no you don't. i don't think you have to have been connected to it before. like usually when you use adb, you have to approve it from your phone the first time. but i'm not sure
Just tried this.
At one point in connecting to the Android flash tool, you have to tap on the screen to accept a debugging prompt, which doesn't work as my screen is black.
So how did you get this working?
have to tried powering on with power + vol down to see if you can get to the bootloader?
have to tried to reflash the stock rom? from here https://developers.google.com/android/images#barbet
you must use chrome browser to do this.
you only need bootloader unlocked to reflash the stock rom.

So I'm guessing that I can get into the bootloader to attempt to unlock it, but i can't do anything with it because the screen remains black.
Is there a way that I can bypass the screen on the phone with some sort of tool that will display and let me interact with the phone on my windows laptop? If i can do that, I'll finally be able to do a factory reset without having to reflash anything.

I definitely have USB debugging enabled, but I didn't modify any other settings. It's pretty stock barbet. The problem is with the black screen I can't accept USB debugging on the phone after I initiate a request on the PC.

Does the screen stay black but still accept inputs, or is it completely unresponsive with no display?
Also, the problem with trying to flash a new rom is that:
1) my phone is locked, and I cannot unlock it with a black screen
2) I have to accept something on the screen of the phone (which is black) to allow the flash to initiate

I am 100% sure the phone is operating correctly behind the viel of black screen darkness.
The phone is completely responsive to button presses and paired bluetooth devices. I can tell this because the bluetooth devices tell me that they've connected, and I've also turned on the accessibility (hold vol up and down) so I get voice prompts that tell me the phone is locked, % battery left, charging status, etc. I am sure the phone is accepting inputs from the USB cable when I attempt to flash.
The first barrier is that the phone is locked, and the second barrier is that I can't accept any screen inputs/usb connections with a black screen.
If there were a way to initiate a factory reset only using physical buttons, I think I'd be fine.

Sorry, I was meaning does it accept touch inputs? If it does, you should be able to guess the location of the prompt on screen and accept it.

No touch inputs at all. That's the whole problem. The phone otherwise seems to be working fine.

so they do make hdmi casts. i had one for my htc one m9. basically it would mirror the screen to my tv by older android connector to hdmi. i am sure they make newer ones that are USB-C to hdmi. it is similar to the one in this video
. except with not being able to use the touch screen as well you would have to use a usb c splitter and then get cheap usb wired mouse to work with it all. not sure if wireless would work. i did use my bluetooth mouse but that was a long time ago on my htc one m9 and once again no touch input leaves you with not many options. it is not a free option. unless you buy it all then return it if it doesn't work or you manage to solve the problem.
you might also want to try the main general q&a forum on xda. https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/general-questions-and-answers.456/ maybe a recognized developer will read it and know of something. the pixel 5a forum isn't most active forum for development.

The Android flash tool site only requires USB debugging enabled. If your bootloader is not unlocked, the AFT will unlock it for you. ***unless it is a Verizon locked phone.

But that's the issue. They aren't able to accept the ADB debugging request if they can't use the screen.

The problem with AFT is that it requires a screen tap (and an unlocked screen) to accept the USB debugging connection.
