Alright guys I give up trying to think of ways on my own to fix this but a couple weeks ago I had my phone in my lap while I was in my car. Got out. Screen shattered, not touch responsive what so ever. My phone isnt rooted (stupid move on my part). It is stuck on a lock screen. Im not sure if USB debugging is on or not. When I plug it into my computer (mac or windows (8) ) nothing pops up so I am assuming its on charge mode... It is connected to wifi when I turn it on if that helps any?? and I am also pretty sure it is still somehow connected to the play store if that helps any?? I need these photos I have alot of once in a life time moments on this phone.... and yes I now have a G+ automatticly uploading from my new phone any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your help and time,
Tim
Because of the protection, yoi cant pull the photos with screen broken
If you press vol up + pwr the phone will enter service mode and media content can be pulled out. But it says service center only. So i don't know if you need a special software for it.
Another way would be to install Lg onscren and use the program to browse the content.
But this works only on stock rom.

The onscreen wont connect, because phone rejecting any connections with screen locked.
And you cannot unlock it with screen broken lol
I had a similiar situation, and i had everything turned on (adb,mtp etc). Still nothing of this worked
Why you dont just replace your screen?
They will not wipe your phone, in my case they just replaced the screen in front of me and thats it.
Have you tryed with "on screeen phone" from LG

Yah I have tried the onscreen and hes right it wont work because its locked. And I have thought about replacing the screen. About how much does it usually cost and would it be cheaper to do it myself?? is it hard? sounds scary to be honest.

Have you tried Moborobo and use its file manager USB debugging must be on. It worked for me with a cracked screen and no touch and locked Optimus G.
I'm sure my USB debugging is on.
I've also ordered a OEM LG Optimus G E975 LCD Screen and Digitizer Assembly with Front Housing from etrade supply.
There are videos on YouTube on how to pull the phone apart.
Hope this helps.

Ok second question and I swear I am done I got all my pictures off and then deleted everything that was possible to delete in that program. I saw there is a backup/restore functions. If I can find the original system file that came on the phone (which I havent researched it yet but) could I use that restore function to whip everything clean and do like a "factory reset" in order to get all my information off it to resell it as broken??

I cant remember where I got the program from. I think i installed from some firmware update folders for some android devices.
And it auto starts when a I connect my phone to my PC. So it was only by chance that i tried it.
Regarding the backup/restore function i cant help you there. If you have another device try it on that.
Hi,
I'm having the same issue, except I did not manage to have debug mode enabled. Is there any way to pull files off the phone via "Download Mode" or am I just out of luck on this one?
Thanks
Stock or custom rom?more details.

I apologize for that last post. It's completely stock, not unlocked or rooted. Running most current software and firmware from LG. WiFi is still enabled on the phone and I can ping it from my desktop, but I cannot get MTP or usb debugging to turn on since I can't get the touch screen to work.
Let me know if you need any more info.
I have this problem without USB debugging enabled when plugged in to pc i cannot accept to make it accessible from the pc since my screen is broken. Anything i can do to take off these very important pictures please help. im on stock rom no root no bluetooth on.

I've searched all the keywords I can think of to no avail.
I just bought a T899. It powers on and I can hear the "drip" noises when I touch the screen. The LCD does not light up nor do the soft keys. I was able to boot into recovery and root through Odin3 to "cwm6-root-note2." Odin3 said successful. I've looked for a remote viewing app to try to "see" what is going on onscreen. The ones I've found must be installed on the phone before use.
Are there any apps that can be pushed to my phone number or through USB to this phone that can help me troubleshoot this problem? Or am I just looking at a new LCD? I've taken it apart and everything looks connected inside. It will ring and take calls, just no LCD or soft key lights.
I got it dirt cheap so a replacement LCD will let me still make some money reselling this, but I want to exhaust all options before I go that route.
I'm looking for either a known problem with these or a way to remotely view the screen to flash a new rom to see if that's the problem. I'm new to this phone but have flashed and rooted several other models of Samsung phones.
Thank you for reading...

the best way is to pull the battery out and reinsert it and try home button, volume down and power (download mode). if you can see something on screen the lcd is ok. if lcd ok, try to flash another rom

I was lucky to get download mode with no screen. I did flash CMW and connected to Odin. I'm guessing I'll just need to get a new LCD. I was hoping I could troubleshoot with Odin or push a remote screen view app onto the phone. I was hoping for a cheaper fix. I'll just order the new LCD I guess.

Thanks, I think that's exactly what I'm looking for. I'll give it a try tonight and report back.

phone is not rooted. and usb debugging is off. i tried using Samsung galaxy s3 toolkit v 7.0.0.0 and going to the option back up and restore your device.but usb debugging is off. any help will be appreciated.
Just throwing the idea out here for anyone who has used it before or knows anything about it... HDMI-out?
I've personally never used it, but if it were possible to somehow HDMI-out and view the screen externally; say you were to display your screen onto your TV or PC monitor, while navigating on the touchscreen [assuming it isnt completely busted] you could enable settings to debug/adb and such...
I could be completely off-base with this one though.

Awesome. Glad you got your stuff back
Hey guys, I am in dire need of help... I have a family member with an LG Optimus G and the screen has been cracked on it, unfortunately the device is full of baby photos. The device was left in charge only mode and we can't seem to access media sync or anything like that. The strange part was that we also tried getting it into bootloader but it REFUSES to do so. We can see the screen, it just doesn't respond to touch. Any ideas? It seems like most data recovery programs require usb debugging to be turned on and then we were gonna go the adb pull route but like I said... It won't go into bootloader. Phone boots fine though.
It seems the device will only show up as "Unknown device" as well.

Bumping as I REALLY need help with this.
Dear Members,
I have a troublemaker here. An LG G3 (Korean version). Though which one exact cannot be known because the device has been rooted (using TowelRoot most likely) and now running a software completely unfit for this device.
I am trying to unroot this phone using the LG PC Suite to take it back to stop. As much as I've researched online, it seems like the easiest and simplest way to go bone stock. P.S. I wasnt the one to root it in the first place, the guy who did, had very little idea what he was doing.
Problem No. 1: Phone stops responding when USB is plugged in (charger and laptop) - not an issue at the moment
Problem No. 2: The phone will not go into 'Download Mode', simply returns a black screen with few diagnosis options in Chinese. Got those translated and its completely irrelevant - will this be an issue?
Problem No. 3: Unable to use the LG Flash Tool because holding the Volume Up button while inserting USB simply restarts the phone - will this be an issue?
Problem No. 4: When i check my IMEI number online, it shows up as an HTC M8. But under 'Settings', 'About Phone' it says I'm using an LG D855 - does this mean the wrong ROM/Firmware has been installed?
Problem No. 5: The phone is not being detected by the PC Suite. In the computer, it shows up as a media device, but that's it. I've tried leaving the phone in MTP Mode for 10-20 seconds and pressing the MTP mode option again (many articles on the internet said it works) but all in vain. Of course anti-virus etc is disabled - this is my main issue at the moment.
I'm guessing if the phone is at least detected by the PC Suite, that will be be one major hurdle cleared. Any pointers? Does anyone know what I'm talking about or has faced the same issue? Help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
What does it say under software build in system settings?
From your second screenshot it looks like its a clone
Sorry
The back panel (battery cover) should also say what model it is, as well as the sticker under the battery

The battery cover says LG D815, unfortunately there is no sticker under the battery :S
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Having established that it's not a D855 (or G3 anyway), is there a workaround? Is there any other program besides LG PC Suite that can detect this phone and re-flash to stock ROM? Thank you for your help guys
Theres nothing you can do im afraid. You could try selling it to a unsuspecting second hand store but i wouldnt recommend it
They heavily edited systemui.apk to give it the LG G3 feel and you cant change it unless you know how to compile your own AOSP roms
I know that feeling, i got scammed 550 AUD for a iPhone that was running KitKat. I was so pissed off that i threw it in the bin

You're absolutely right that there's nothing to be done. I wouldn't try selling it to anyone else myself. Bin is the right place
Hi everybody, first I want to thank all devs for their work! It's greatly appreciated, Thank you!
Alrighty then I have the USCC LG G4 running or was running US99122a. Three days ago it's started to restart when ever it wanted to no matter what the battery level was at, plugged in or not just up and restart, then very shortly after it would restart with in the very first minute of being fully booted. Then shortly after that it just went into a bootloop and is now stuck on the LG screen. I have tried everything that I can find on the internet with absolutely no success of any sort. Ive went in to reset mode using voldown+power and when say yes to final warning it just stays on that screen like its frozen then eventually reboots back to being stuck on LG screen. LGUP does not work, it doesnt find it's model number. it knows what com and us99122a but unknown for model. Lg flashtool stops at 9% during s/w upgrade and either says lost connection with server OR needs/ask administrator permission (something like that but meaning the same thing) I've read that when it does don't disconnect don't do anything and after 15 to hour later presto good to go but no, no presto. I decided to ask you guys after leaving it like that for little more then 24 hours now. I need serious help as I cant afford another phone and my g4 was everything. Internet, tv, movies, work, research literally everything through miracast PLEASE HELP and thank you!
Only fix for that is a board replacement or warranty. Google LG G4 bootloop it's a common and known issue.

little update for ya after trying LG UP and another LG software install pc program and 2 other android firmware versions all it would do is freeze at 9% then nothing no matter what i tried OTHER than finally getting hard bricked. (pc said when connected corrupted device not recognizing it) So I am now a firm believer in and advise to others with this problem if you're able to get it replaced through LG do it cause that is the only fix. Even tho I could of had replaced I didnt do that, instead I grabbed my 30-30 deer hunting rifle and blasted one lonely hole!!, Yes a hole and I tell you what the screen on the G4 is superb ! besides immediately around the bullet hole it didnt even spiderweb. id say 65-70% of the screen was still crack free!! no joke!
