Did you make sure every connector is properly connected back when you put the phone together?

+1 on that where did you get the screen and how much was it???

If you do some Google searching you can find screen assemblies for the note 2.

When you connect your phone to the charger, does it charge? If not, then the USB main board is loose or broken. Luckily, it's attached to the motherboard via ribbon cable and can easily be checked and replaced.
If it charges fine, try this:
1) Launch the phone app
2) Dial ##3424#
3) Press "Qualcomm USB Setting"
4) Choose " MTP + ADB "
5) Press OK button

Screenshot using SDK

I'm new to SGS-II and am trying to take a screen using ddms.bat in the SDK. All my prior phones have been HTC starting with the G1 and all I had to do was plug the phone in and double click on ddms.bat in the tools folder. I have USB Debugging checked. Doesn't seem to work with the T989 SGS-II. My SDK is up to date and works on the HTC Sensation. Any ideas would be helpful, thanks in advance.
EDIT:
I have the T989 USB drivers downloaded and installed and it doesn't show up in the device manager either.

Its more like a quick tap of the two. You can't hold it for too long.

Exactly, barely hold the home button and very quickly tap the power button. If you do it correctly you should see a snapshot animation

Okay, got that but I'd still like the sdk to work. The T989 doesn't show up on Windows 7 device manager when plugged in even though I have the USB drivers downloaded and installed.

Try installing pdanet. It installs device drivers which may relieve your situation. Also make sure USB debugging is checked

I've got usb debugging checked, I'll give pdanet a try. All the phones I've had and rooted since 2008 have always been in the device manager. If I go to my platform-tools folder and with the correct path and cd (enter) adb devices (enter) - nada.

[Q] [!Data recovery!] waterdamage/black display/no touch/no auto usb storage.

I did do a search, I couldn't find anything directly related to my problem as it's not how to fix the phone, but how to recover my data in this specific situation.
Alright, so I went to Dublin, got absolutely smashed, and dropped my new One X in the toilet. It's working fine - turns on, buttons light up, goes to what seems like sleep mode and waking up when I use the volume buttons, all seems okay except my display is ****ed - black, sometimes with streaks of visibility but nowhere near enough to see what's going on. No touch either.
No-one will touch it and I don't care so much about the phone, I just want all the pictures I took from my drunken holidays. As HTC so intelligently decided on internal storage instead of SD cards I'm a bit at a loss here. I can connect my phone to the PC, but the default behaviour is 'charge'. With the update that came out a while ago it defaults to USB storage when plugged in (or so HTC customer service says) but I rooted it and ran CM10.
What I need is a way to force USB storage through the PC, or a way to do a full backup of the phone without having to turn storage on. I'm not sure if this is possible? I'd appreciate some help here!
(It's dry now, was about two months ago, also I don't need advice on how to get it fixed, I'm not interested in paying for this as I'm going to give it away for spare parts and buy a waterproof phone)
Thanks in advance guys!
How about usb-debugging, enabled or not?
Are you currently on CM10?

Oop's that sounds bad but I'd be happy to help you to get your photos off. Firstly have you rooted yet? If so you could get it into recovery mode and with help from a friend or another phone then you could activate the usb mode. Also I'd be happy to take it off you for spares as I have two hox's in my house.

USB debugging.. I'm not quite sure. I think it was on. I am on CM10 but as I said, can't see or use the display at all..

I've already promised it to a friend of mine - I am rooted, running CM10 but even if I get it into recovery I've no idea what I'm doing as the screen is completely black so it doesn't really help. How could another phone help me, I don't know anyone with a smartphone as we're all insanely good at drowning them in alcohol.
Can you confirm that you have clockworkmod installed?
I will soon return with directions on how to mount USB storage using only volume and power buttons.

I do yeah! Thank you
Okay, here's a little guide:
Hold power and volume down for 25 seconds. Do not let go even if it vibrates.
1xvoldown
1xpower
Wait 20 seconds
Connect USB to PC.
5xvoldown
1xpower
8xvoldown
1xpower
The sdcard contents should pop up on pc. If not, reboot and do it all over again.

Just to make sure, I don't hold power, just one press, then wait 20 sec, yeah? And I disconnect it first. ..Annoying, it ran out of bettery. I'll let it charge a while then try it out and return to the thread. Thanks a lot

Correct, begin the process disconnected. Only hold in the beginning, all the other steps are single taps.

Have you checked if they are on your sim card? They might also be synced to your google account.
The only thing I know is that they are not on the sdcard. They are probably stored somewhere in /system/.
It could be possible to retrieve them through shell commands, provided that your phone has usb-debugging enabled.
Imma do some research and let you know if I find anything useful.
In the meantime, leave the handset to a bag/box of rice for the night. I have once recovered a dead display by doing that.

They aren't synced to google, only my old contacts, and they're not on my sim, that's the first thing I checked of course.
I did find com.android.contacts folder, but it's empty, or hidden system files. Thanks a lot. You are BRILLIANT.
Really.. I'll give it a shot, it's been a couple months though so I doubt there's any pee left in it.
I did find out that /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/
has some info, but I believe that it contains only the entries that are already synced to google. Not very useful.
Oh well. I'll try again tomorrow.
If any of my dear colleagues knows something about this, please drop in.

Soft brick, no home button.

I'm stuck in a bootloop, and my home button is broken, I just need a way to get into recovery mode and i can easily fix the problem. Like i said, i can't use the hardware home button, the adb doesn't seem to recognize my phone ANY help would be much appreciated.
depends how much your home button is broken if its still in place but doesnt recognize clicks you can put some rubbing alcohol in it and click it a lot and it should work

The home buttons ribbon is completely severed. I'd rather like to avoid spending the money to buy a new one. I'm assuming the easiest way to get around it is the adb, but it won't recognize the device.

uninstall your samsung drivers, take mouse to bottom right, click on the gear, goto "change pc settings," choose general from the list, scroll down and under "advanced startup" click restart now ----- when the blue screen appears click on "trouble shoot, then advanced options, then click on "advanced startup option" when it reboots choose "disable driver signature enforcement" when the pc boots, install your phone and you shouldnt have any more problems

yes and no. there are ways around it such as booting that in disabled mode and then hibernating but if you reboot you must follow that procedure again to install unsigned drivers in windows 8

you shouldnt. on reboot you should just be able to plug your phone it and it works. it may popup and search from drivers but once it finds them you shouldnt have to worry with it again.
