[Q] Phonebook recovery from broken S3 - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hi all!
Sorry if I posted this wrong section.
So my wife had a S3 and she dropped so in the screen there is a tiny crack, but the screen show just black screen so I dont know the touchscreen recognize touch or not. The phone can turn on and off but there is a PIN and screen security (pattern) so KIES just show connecting, connecting. She do not have samsung acc to unlock the phone via web.
So there is an option (adb or somethin) to pull out the phone numbers from the cracked phone?
Thank you very much if you answer!

[Q] Screen locked - hardware issue need work around

My touch screen won't respond to touch or the stylist. This just happened but I am beginning to see some bleed on the screen so I know it's a hardware issue.
Got a new one coming to replace it but here's my problem. My settings are set to automatically lock the screen after a period of time for security reasons and to help prevent pocket calls! Does anyone know a work around with the keyboard to unlock the screen?
Most of the software I loaded is on my PC but whenever I rebuild a phone it's always good to look at what is in the thing via "remove program" option. Needless to say, I can't get there without unlocking the screen.
I tried my magic wand and threatened the phone by telling it I was going to replace it with an iPhone but so far... nothing works.
Thanks,
Rick
The lockscreens are based on touch input. The only option I know of to recover your data is to replace the digitizer.
AFAIK, doing that on Windows Mobile 6.5 Stock is completely impossible. If you can get past the slider screen, you can use the numbers on your TP2 keypad and press enter. But I'm running 6.1 (makes me feel better being used to ye olde Pocket PCs), so I can't verify anything.

[Q] Dead Screen

Hello, everyone.
Well...3 days ago it was raining in my city and I was talking with the Defy on the streets, the phone fell to a puddle in the sidewalk, I just picked it up and kept talking, but then I saw there was some fog and little drops of water inside the screen, though the phone was still working perfectly. The next day the fog was still there and the phone was working, but later that day the screen just didn't turn on and the LED was always turned on in red (but I could see the screen items under high light and I managed to see something in the notificacion bar like "new electronic device recognized"). In order to remove the fog I took the battery off and put the phone under my laptop, so the low heat would vaporize the remaining water and maybe the screen would work again.
Now I have the phone with no fog but the screen is still not working, though I can turn on the phone and it vibrates when I press the capacitive keys and it sounds when someone calls and that stuff, it's just the screen isn't working, all black, like missing the retroilumination. The red LED is always on. So I thought of sending it for repairment, but I can't flash any sbf, as I didn't had USB debug mode enabled the RSD Lite says "unable to retrieve initialization values from INI file (0x7029);phone connected". Can I enable the usb debug mode via adb shell?
The phone is rooted, using JBoogie3 Blurless Honey, it's a Vodafone Spain.
TL;DR version: phone got into a puddle, screen stopped working, red LED always on, can't flash any SBF to send it to repair because usb debug mode is not enabled and can't enable it since I can't see the things that are on the screen.
I'll love for ever the one who can lead me to a solution. Thanks in advance, please help, I'm desperate.
PS: The phone was closed and the rubbers on the sides (headphones and usb) were closed too. Sorry for the long post.
i can try and guide you to the usb debug on of settings if you want
That'd be helpful, any screencaps would be awesome. I think there was no scrolling to do in Settings tab nor in applications,therefore, easier.

first thing first can u get into the settings? if not wat launcher do u have?
GoLauncher EX..I think settings is in the right low corner when you hit menu key in the homescreen..
ok once ur in the settings press near the botton of the screen so the last selection, then turn ur screen sideways and select the last box again to go into development however this time press about 0.5 - 1cm above the botton of the screen. once you in development select get a ruler and from the top of the screen not the fone press at 1.5cm. that should then enable usb debug. if you need any more help just ask or if something does not make sense
Will try several times..but I can't lose time rebooting everytime I try, anyway I can check if debugging is enabled trough adb or something? >.<

[Q] Locked Cracked screen Help!

Hi, I have a very big issue, I dropped my SGH-M919 from a coffee table to a carpet, which seems like an innocent fall/drop, but in this case it wasn't, my digitizer broke inside impeding my ability to see anything, all I have is a blank screen, I can hear notifications as they come in as well as incoming calls, but can't do anything about it, I already have a replacement on the way from tmo, but my main problem is, How do I get my pc to recognize my phone so I can transfer some important data and pictures I have, FYI I have a screen lock 4 digit pin....I'm I really screwed or is there a way for me to recover this data??? Thanks in advance for any help....
P.S. I'm running stock.
Can you get ADB to work with the screen locked? Maybe if ADB work you can ADB pull files. I don't know if it will work just throwing out ideas for you.
If all you have is a blank screen you may be in luck!
1) are there any visible cracks ?
if yes, you may be SOL but doesn't hurt to try step 2.
if not
2) is the blank screen black or white?
If black, try shining a flashlight at an angle. Your LED backlight may have broke or connectors are bad. You might be able to see everything.
If white, google Galaxy S4 disasembly (try ifixit) disassemble your phone and make sure the video flex's and connectors are secure. I drop like that can easily dislodge them.
What data are you trying to pull?
Apps, can always be redownloaded. Purchased apps are attached to your google account as well as contacts and a slew of other things.
Music and Pictures can be pulled just by plugging the phone in and exploring.
SMS and Call Logs, I don't think so unless you get the screen replaced obviously. Replacing the screen does not wipe ur data.
He will not be able to explore phone unless lock screen is disable.

He wasn't very clear about his damaged condition. If you read my possible solutions you would realize screen lock is irrelevant.
If his backlight is out, the flashlight will help him see where to enter screenlock. If his flex is loose disassembly and reinstalling correctly will fix the phone.
Notice how he said "my digitizer broke inside impeding my ability to see anything" implying the fact he doesn't realize the digitizer has nothing to do with his ability to see the screen as that has to do with the LCD. He just says blank screen so hard to tell his problem.
Once you receive your replacement, add the same lock screen and use that as a guide to where to touch.

[Q] Blank Screen but phone is on and can receive calls

I have a korean version if the s4 mini. My phone has a blank screen. It does get on, all sounds play phone calls come and o swipe to pick it up but the display is jus blank. Tried to go in download mode but same blank display. Any help would be really appreciated. I'm far away and cannot claim warranty.
So after 2 days the phone is back on. Removed the battery and tried everything. It just popped back on itself. No idea what's happening. Any ideas?
My guess is that you have that one in a million defective screen

Evr-al00 broken screen - usb/hdmi (any help would be very useful !!)

ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY USEFUL !!
I have a MATE 20 X which I broke the screen and its completely blAck and cant see anything.
I do however have a facelock, pattern lock and also fingerprint lock but It seems as if the face and pattern lock are not working as I do not get any vibrations or anything at all.
My question is when you have any type of lock on the phone and you connect it via HDMI will I be able to see the Main screen so I can put the pattern?
I do not have an HDMI Adapter but would like to know this before going and buying one
I also cant via USB as I need to accept USB DEBUGGING but I can no longer see anything at all on my screen.
