Hi all,
I just dropped my HTC One X (on the floor), and unfortunately there is now no image on screen.
I may have to take it to the service centre, but first, I would like to try (hoping) and see if its just some simple issue (cable connection came loose or something). I would want to open up the casing and see if I can do some quick fix.
Any advice?
Thanks!

well, i think it's quite difficult that a drop disconnected a cable, more likely the display got broken... anyway, you can always try to open it, but pay atterntion not to break anything, otherwise you will have to pay more to get it working again hope i'm wrong and that a cable connection is faulty and you can fix it by yourself :fingers-crossed: look for the battery replacement tutorials to learn how to open it, some are very good and exhaustive
Thanks, yup, I got the back casing open and at that point, can't see that any cable got dislodged, so you may be right that the screen got damaged. In any case, I'm not really willing to go any further than that.
Next question is, before I send in for repair, I hope to, firstly, retrieve my data on the phone, and secondly, wipe them.
The problem is that without a screen, I can't seem to be able to do that. Connecting to PC via USB doesn't give me access to the phone storage and I suspect that it is because it is in lockscreen (pattern lock), and, I suspect the input (touch) part of the screen is also not working (i.e. not just output / display, because my pattern lock normally would give me tactile feedback).
Hope to get some advice on how I can get some access to the phone storage via USB
FYI, I have
CM 10.1
CWM 5.8.4.0
Titanium Backup (just listing here for the heck of it - pretty sure it's useless in this case)
Anyone, please?
Okay, here's my problem: My phone has a broken LCD screen due to it dropping on the floor one time (With an OtterBox on!). I have a replacement phone, so I need to backup all of my stuff on my original phone, but obviously I can't do it since my screen is not visible, and I know you can back it up from the computer with a number of programs but they either require apps, or need the USB debugging option enabled,which has been enabled on my phone since I first booted it up, but the programs still aren't recognizing the acceptance of the connection. So basically from my knowledge I can't do jack.
If there is anything I can do, I kneed to know now, because tomorrow I either lose everything I had on my phone, or I owe GeekSquad hundreds of dollars.

I own a HTC M8 and the display screen is completly broken.
I can plug in a OTG cable with a mouse/keyboard but when I try to enter my PIN code it's not unlocking.
The device is recognized on Windows as a phone but I'm not able to access the storage due to the PIN lock.
How can I unlock my phone? Is that possible over ADB?
Thanks for your help I really need my data/apps.
Is debugging turned on? If so. Download Vysor on chrome and get in that way.
Honestly it isnt that hard to replace a display. It's exactly like the m7 except for takin off tha back and the cameras being different. I would say it is a bit easier to get it open non destructively than the m7.
Best option for you is find a used glass touch display from an online marketplace and replace it yourself.
Check out my video I replaced my M7's screen last summer after a catastrophic bike accident where it fell into the spokes while I was riding down a mountain...the very phone I use to this day:
My *m7* repair
And an m8 back cover removal:
I just did this the other day. It was almost exactly the same inside as the m7. Obviously the camera is different but thats the last to go anyway.
There are many better tutorials for this I am sure, but that is my experience. Like I said m7 was harder than m8 cause of some component differences, like the battery was glued in the m7 but not in my m8...and I never took off the mic in my m8. That was where that little part that almost got lost on the m7 was. So I dont know if they changed that in the m8 or not.
I'm approaching this problem for a second time after about one and a half years of just having the phone stashed in a cupboard. I have made a post regarding this in 2018 but there wasn't any way to access the data inside back then. Now that it's been some time i'm again wondering if i can get any use out of this phone.
Basically what happened was that the touchscreen stopped responding out of the blue and never recovered. I gave this off for repairs back then (I didn't purchase hardware warranty for the phone) and in the repairman's infinite wisdom he said there is a faulty "IC" in the display panel that keeps on burning out even when replaced. He apparently did the repair three or four times but the same issue appears a few minutes after booting up.... So in terms of hardware, i know this isn't fixable.. Or atleast that our approach to the whole thing was wrong.
But now i'm wondering if there is any way to get the OTG working so i can connect a mouse and use this as a... I don't know like a tab or something. I can still get a ton of use out of this thing if OTG works. Problem is OTG was on timeout, And given that the phone was on idle for more than 18 months, OTG is now turned off. Which means unless i turn it on from the in device settings, i can't get it to work.
Any way i can get any sort of use out of this phone? I spent too much on this phone to just throw it away haha...

why not just buy a new digitizer LCD frame assembly?

Hallo,
the display of my POCO F3 is broken, meaning black screen. The device itself starts normally. How can I save my data? USB debugging is disabled and I can't activate it because the broken display of course.
Could anyone help me to save my data?
Thanks in advance!
Your data is safe. However you may need to wait awhile to access it.
Your best bet is to get your screen replaced.
Call around to local cell phone repair buisnesses and see if they any replacement screens in stock for the poco f3. If you have a xiaomi repair center near, even better. If no one had one in stock, your best to order one yourself. (this is where you may have to wait a bit as it may have to be shipped from china) if you're comfortable replacing your screen yourself, do that. But having the broken device in hand, with its replacement screen, and taking those into any cell phone repair store, they should be able to fix you up pretty quickly and shouldnt be too much money since you did the leg work of retrieving the screen.
That's the route I would go, or at least get the ball rolling in a new display coming in the mail. Because trying to retrieve that data without usb debugging on, may be a bit of a rabit hole.
Hi,
To save your data, did you try this (with a PC of course)
https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy
Maybe you still have access to the phone despite the broken screen.
Let me know if it worked.
Not well read, "USB debugging is disabled", so it will not work....Sorry

Thanks for the suggestion, but honestly I don't think it's worth it. I have already received offers and they are from 190 € upwards. And I do not trust myself to exchange the display. In this case, wouldn't it make more sense to request a data backup from a company? I don't know how expensive that is though.
Isn't there any way to backup the date in recovery mode? I know that pressing the start and volume up button will get me into recovery mode. I've read somewhere that from there I can back up my data via the MI PC Suite, by pressing the down button twice. Is that correct? Regardless of that, I haven't yet managed to get into recovery mode with the broken display.
You can get a display and just connect it (don't remove the old display, just connect the new one).
It's silly that "ro.adb.secure" only means that it has to handshake and popup to allow ADB.
There really should be a mode where you say, "Only the 3 computers that I've already connected are acceptable and allow no further new ADB clients".
Then *everybody* could leave ADB on all the time.

Could you explain to me, how to do this or provide a link to a tutorial for example?
You'd just open the back of your device. The screen hooks in with an orange flex cable. You just disconnect the old one and plug in the new one out the back, just flopping around. You won't have touch, but you can hook up a USB mouse.
I don't know your model. I can't get more specific.
It's just that a new screen by itself out of China can't be too expensive?
And if you like, after you get your data you can try to actually replace the screen yourself.
I have got access to my daughters P30, with broken display, over MHL display. The difficulty is just to find the right place on the display to allow MHL display.

Thanks, perhaps I will try this!
By the way, it's a POCO F3 as mentioned above

But won't I need to enter my pin first to allow the MHL display?
If the touch is still working you may be able to enter your PIN.
Get a similar size device, go to the PIN screen, mark the position using clear wrap and a marker. Transfer the positions onto your screen.
Or use a scrap of plexiglas, mark it, then drill small holes and use that to mark your phone.
Or use an usb-keyboard.
