My HTC One X has a dead screen. The actual OS, lights and touch digitizer work as they should.
I have a lot of documents and photos on the phone that I would love to get off the phone via USB, but I cant quite get to the settings page without a screen.
If there is a way to pull the data off without having to go into the settings and set USB to file transfer, or if someone can send screenshots so I can see where to tap, that would be great.
I need a screenshot of the password screen (keypad), the settings screen all the way until i get to the usb screen, if anyone would please.
Thanks. First thread.
What recovery do you have (a custom one?) You can boot into that and enable ums and then retrieve data.
I may guide you

Recovery? I dont know what you are talking about, so I believe i use stock. I stumbled upon a different way to get the files off via a hack on a different thread, but its ADB hack. Im a little clueless with this, but if you could guide me that would be appreciated.
The other thread i found is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573744
Ah you are fully stock, no unlocked bootloader and custom rom ?
Well at least we can try this :
Download android SDK bundle (Google ) and unpack it to lets say :
C:\android
So we can find it easily ! Navigate with windows explorer to that folder and unfold the folders to a folder named "platform-tools" and check that you have adb.exe inside that folder.
Hold down shift and right click the mouse, select "open command window here.
Now connect the phone and type :
Adb devices in the command window

It says "List of devices attached" and nothing else, then goes back to where it was. My phone does come up in "My computer" as drive K, but it cant be opened, probably due to the phone not allowing access, yknow when you hook it up it asks what you want it to do with the USB, like sync or charge, but its defaulted to charge only. But yeah, ADB DEVICES doesnt really do anything as far as I notice.
Then you probably have the problem that usb debugging is not enabled
You are on JB .... do you know how to get the phone on its homescreen ?

Open ddms

You got your screenshot. If you are on the homescreen after the pincode the MTP should be enabled and your sdcard should be accessible

I had no luck unlocking the phone. I believe I did, but it still didnt show up on the command prompt.
Im sorry I dont have much knowledge on android, but i presume there is no way to directly pull data from the device, without having to unlock it, correct?
Edit
I dont think the digitizer is functioning anymore. I cannot get any touch response out of it anymore. Is it a goner?

I just had one last thing to add.
Sorry for the late reply, but, It still has internet connection and I can install an app from the Play store remotely. I just cant run it due to the broken screen, but, if possible, is there a remote-access app that doesnt require setup that you know of? Or an app that enables file access somehow, Im not sure.
Or im still out of options. thanks again for your attention.

get the Visionary temp root app from market.
type in screenshots in market search, download that app.
Open up screenshots app, check box "shake phone for screenshots". and then if you shake your phone, it will take a screenshot
Shootme from the market (requires root) or use the Android SDK on your computer.
Download VISIONary for root, and Shoot Me for screenshots.

if u dont feel like rooting (which is super easy with visionary) and have adb already installed and working on ur computer.
while ur phone is connected to ur computer...
go into ur android-sdk folder, wherever you stored all the files
go into the 'tools'
find and click on the 'ddms' file. it will open up a blank command prompt and will eventually open up a different window.
at the top, click on the 'device' tab and click on 'screen capture'. it will do the capture by itself and i think will display it also.

If you try this and, like what happened to myself, your phone doesn't show up, I suggest you install PdaNet on your computer. If it asks if you want to reinstall drivers, hit yes and select HTC. Should work.

usually phones are locked by imei no. so will work only for that phone
if you try this on other phones is to get an error message only -so will not hurt to try but no results also if you try 3-5 times an unlock code phone is hard locked - only service tools(/unlock box/dongle) can reflash /unlock it
stupid noob question
u said unlock box/dondle? what are those? service tools.
so i guess my question is this. is the unlock code somewhere on the phone is there a way or person who can help me find it without going through tmobile

as I said you will not solve that problem...
to make Garminfone to work on PC install Android SDK and phone drivers (from CD or Garmin site or just install sync software and you get it) after installing SDK and drivers you should get ADB interface working check this by running adb check from console (cmd.exe) don't forget to add adb location to system path or just enter adb.exe folder before usually the folder is ~\android-sdk\platform-tools\
now check your ADB interface is working open cmd.exe in adb.exe folder then
Code:
adb devices
if you don't get this your phone will not work with PC
don't forget to activate usb debugging on phone
THIS METHOD WILL NOT WORK IN NEWER VERSIONS OF ANDROID

Hello to everyone!
This description is very good, but unfortunately I can not help of mind. The Freetab 2099 tablet is set, the OSD, I forgot, offered through the recovery gmail account, but the machine is not connected to the Internet, and it can not be solved. The Windows XP felimeri the machine, but only shows an empty folder adb driver installation, and Total Commander, however does not see downloaded from the manufacturer's website drivers installed, but not working this solution, a multitool can not find device. Maybe a factory reset would solve the matter but has not yet been described find or install a new rom that is. Img extension of the manufacturer's side, but I do not know bekepcsolni debug mode on the machine, it does not allow the zárképrnyőről to move on.
If anyone knows a solution to my problem, thanks in advance.

Hi there, i have tried to use the following software but it doesnt work
so basically I have a samsung G3 i9300T and I know the pattern code but i still want to try out.
firstly when i ran the Multi-tool, it doesn't recongized my phone. So i realized i have to turn on USB debugging in order to let the software to detect my phone.
So i have turned the usb debug mode on and it finally picks up my phone.
Press 1 and it has my serial number, good, good. Then I go to option 3 as you mentioned in order to unlock pattern lock.
It reboots, and the pattern lock is still sitting on screen. So i tried to swipe anywhere on the pattern lock but it doesnt allow me to go further unless i input the right code.
Now i am wondering what could went wrong?

It happened to me yesterday. The issue is activating full MTP access. It doesen't work properly. It has a slim chance for your pc to detect the system files. I recommend you use customPDF registry editor to revert the changes (search this forum). Or factory reset will do, but it will be a hassle setting up your phone all over again.

You have to do it manually. I found this. This is the exact process i did with cPDF.
navigate this path :
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MTP
edit Data Store value to c:\Data\Users\Public and hit Write button .
that's it
Unplug/replug your phon until the system detects it.

same problem
Having this issue on my Lumia 830. I did the registry changes (tried combo of upper/lowercase for the registry key) and nothing worked.
Eventually, after trying boot mode (the ! window) I am locked out of all my jailbreak apps. I suspect the boot loader (holding the volume key down until the ! screen loads) locked my capabilities.
Oh well. Windows Recovery Tool says there's new Firmware for the 830 (much newer than what's on my phone). Yet another full restore is in the works for me. Hope anyone reading this doesn't make the same mistake I did!
I have an HTC M8 phone and I set a pattern lock, and then stupidly forgot what it was. Everyone has been telling me to do a factory reset, but some of my photos are not backed up anywhere and I do not want to lose them. I need help either figuring out how to get into my phone, or how to recover the pictures that are on my locked phone. I have my Google account information, but that does not seem to be any help really. Please help!
Thank you!
Do you have a custom recovery? Even if not you should be able to boot to recovery, connect to pc, and in cmd prompt where your adb is(usually platform-tools in the Android sdk) type
adb pull /sdcard
That will download your entire sdcard to your computer. Could also just do adb pull /sdcard/DCIM to only get the camera pictures, other pics are in /sdcard/Pictures

After you enter the wrong pattern enough times, does the phone give you the option to sign on via your Google login?
Be aware that the security passwords and patterns exist for a reason, and its not commonly discussed here how to circumvent them. Such knowledge can be used by criminals that steal phones.
Also, I know this doesn't solve your issue, but its far too common to see posts like this. Waiting for a disaster to happen is not the right time to realize you should have been backing up your data. With all the options (SD card, sync to PC, cloud solutions - some built in) there is really no excuse not to be doing so.

No , it does not give me that option which is frustrating as that is what many have told me to do. And yes I know, I'm kicking myself for not backing everything up. It has been a few months since I uploaded everything to my laptop. And at this point I was trying any possible option, and was given this forum to try to find help.
I am not sure to be honest... I'm not very knowledgeable about all this which is why I am having such a hard time. How do I boot to recovery? And every time I connect to my pc, it wont let me get any photos from the phone.

If the phone is stock (never rooted, bootloader unlocked, etc.); and you don't know what custom recovery is, than you don't have it.
