Hello,
My htc one x screen is completely broken. I want to recover my data on my pc. When I plug it into my pc through usb, the computer only recognizes it as CD drive and charges my phone. On devices and printers option in control pannel it appears as android phone and when I try to browse it, it gives two option, one is CD and other one is removable disk, but removable disk is like blocked. I have tried several ways from the internet, but nothing seems to work out. I have also contacted HTC they only advised me to download HTC Sync Manager, but this as well does not recognize my device. I have also tried to use Kies, from a troubleshooter I found that I need Bluetooth Peripheral Device, which I was unable to find over the internet.
The phone had the pattern lock before the screen was broken.
If anyone of you have any information about how to get my data back, please help me out. I will highly appreciate your effort.
Thank you.
**pardon me if there's something wrong I am doing in this thread, as this is my very first post.
1: Is it unlocked ?
2: custom rom ?
3: custom recovery ?

The phone had pattern lock when it broke down, so yes it is lock.
I do not understand what you meant by custom rom and recovery?
Did you unlock the bootloader and put on a custom recovery to flash different roms. Or is it full factory stock ?
I'm guessing it's not unlocked. Does the screen switch on at all so you can see the display? Or is it completely black when you try and switch it on?

yes it has a keypad lock. I am unable to see the screen, it is completely dark. I just can see the lights of the bottom keys when the phone is turned on or when I swipe my fingers continuously on the screen. It might be the digitizer and other screen layers that are broken completely from inside.
Do you have ADB debugging enable previously? If yes, you could use frame buffers to reflect the display on PC.

Unfortunately no, is there any way that I can do it to get my data recover. I've heard that in order to get the display on PC and then use it the device needs to be rooted. Since I am unable to connect through usb, I do not know if I am able to do adb thing.

Try switching your phone completely off then booting it up in recovery mode. Obviously you won't be able to see whats on the screen, but it might let you access your data on the SD card through your computer?
Are you still under warranty? If you're not rooted and havent enabled ADB debugging then that might be your best bet.

I am afraid that If I boot my phone in a recovery mode, it might give me the same thing, not a removable disk but CD drive.

I don't believe the stock recovery supports mounting your phone as a USB device...can someone comment on this?
That being the case, and if the screen is blank and non-responsive, your PC does not recognize the device and does not mount it properly...I really cannot see how it will be possible to recover your data.
Sorry mate, I think you're out of luck.

Im REALLY hoping that you found a way to retrieve your data.. I found this post because i googled the exact question. My phone screen is completely destroyed so i cant do anything with it. I not only lost all my photos and videos but i had lists of things on notes that i will never remember without seeing it. oh and the HUGE bonus somehow when I thought i backed up my contacts on att address book and my sim card i guess it didnt work. SO i would be so happy if you can help.. I have no idea how this site works. I just created an account to respond here. im not sure if i will get a notification to responces or not so you can also email me directly if you are able to help.. Thanks Jami [email protected]

Hello Jami,
Luckily, I got all of my data recovered after following another android phone. Basically, what I did was I turned on my phone, and tried to make the same pattern unlock that I had in order to make the phone work, every time I make the pattern, I go to the USB drive to make it disk drive, as far as I remember, and hope for it to work. I actually followed the steps to get there from another android device. By several trial and errors, I guess I was able to make the pattern unlock or something just happened that my phone got visible to my PC. If this doesn't work for you, try calling HTC if you have IMEI number of your device, they are helpful. They will also suggest to actually download HTC sync manager, try doing this as well. Another option for you maybe if you have another person owning the same device as yours, try removing the back cover of both of the phones, and basically switch the display chip, I do not know what do you call this chip but this is at the top right corner of the cellphone that connects the display to the circuit. So, you can just plug another similar device's chip there and you will be able to see the display of your cell phone, and you can easily get your data back from there.
I hope you will get all your data back soon!
Best regards,
Namra
I received an SGH-T989 that wouldn't boot. It had TWRP on it, so I was able to flash latest stable CWM. Upon reboot, it apparently became hard-bricked.
Currently, I'm unable to enter download or recovery modes. USB Jig does not work. There is no output on the screen, even when charging the battery. When connected in Windows (32 or 64), I get a usb error message: "This device is disabled because the firmware of the device did not give it the required resources. (Code 29)"
My question: Is the motherboard dead, or could a jtag repair fix it?
What I've tried:
multiple micro usb cables
usb jig
odin
keis
heimdall
Thanks xda!

That would be great! I did see the S3 fix that loads a debrick.img from sdcard - would that work with hardbricked? Windows wouldn't load the usb drive for my phone, complaining that the firmware didn't give the "required resources". So if the firmware is borked, I'm not sure it would be able to load an external img.
I couldn't wait, though. Sent it out for jtag repair :fingers-crossed:

Jtag should always do the job, unless there was physical damage done to the motherboard.

The t989 has great specs, only downside is its PPI (really low) if you still love it, I would wait if you want to send it into JTAG repairs, we are on the verge of unbricking our t989 without JTAG! Looks like we need someone with a working t989D though
I have been studying the other 'unbrick' methods, its definatly mind expanding, the amount of knowledge absorbed can seriously make you forget time n space.
If there is anything I can do / contribute holler at me.
Now ill tell you something weird so I flashed a rom not meant for T989D plus I did it all without being rooted. (if it matters) since Since the flash the phone doesn't boot into recovery or show a bootanimation, just darkness.Yet it felt operational in hand.
Once I plugged it back into the PC all I got was a constant notification of drivers that cannot be identified Also it keeps connecting and disconnecting the device.
None of this is weird until I installed OMAP flash and the T.I. drivers for which was used to fix my friends nexus. After he left I plugged my s2 to the PC still nothing. I looked away for a brief moment . Then i noticed MobileGo for Android popped on screen. Visually showing my s2 as an Alcatel rom.
just bizzare.....
The unbrick method on the S2 is a little different, but in General, at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2646310 after a little work, I resurrected a QHSUSB_DLOAD 9025 T989D to the point of ODIN and fully working Android OS working, just missing recovery.. Soon to follow in a day or so.

Hi, so I also have a hard bricked t989 galaxy s2 (tmobile variant) and I'm attempting to understand the instructions. However my phone has another issue...usb connection to the computer does not work, it hasn't worked since the micro usb port on the phone was replaced because the old one broke. So really the phone could charge but never connect to my pc as it cant be detected...so what are my options? If i create the sd card with the image, will i still need to connect it to a pc in order to force the phone into download mode? Please help...
I was trying out a kitkat kernel which was for our kitkat official but I stupidly used it on an aosp rom and then my phone would only boot into cwm recovery and then I factory reset and it now doesnt even turn on, it shows up on my laptop but im running windows 8 and i havent been able to use the unbrick methods. If anyone can help out it would be appreciated and if i need to send it to LG i know i have breached warranty so what should i say to them?
Thanks!
Can you get into download mode?
Make sure the phone is off. Hold volume up and down at the same time and plug you USB cable into your phone, your phone should go into download mode.
It wont turn on at all, its like all the partitions have been corrupted. I cant get into download mode and when i go into adb it say (fault device) so I think ill need to send it back to LG

Sometimes if you try to charge the phone for a really long time (say 12 to 18 hrs at stretch) - the phone starts to turn on. Try that. and see if you can boot into download mode.
Also, when you give it to LG ... tell them that it is not turning on, thats it...
ok, i tried charging it but nothing happened so ill send it to them and just say that it wont turn on. Thanks!
Once they get it booted up and see the custom kernel and Rom they are most likely going to charge you full price for another phone and of course will not honor any warrantee. As long as you're ok with that go ahead and sent it back for a replacement. with that bein said, it's probably best you tell them the truth so you get accurate info from them ahead of time.

have you managed to root the tv ?
if so could you make a guide ?
ah nice! thanks for telling.
i only did root the newer plattform (RT51)
but tbh it's not worth it "currently", since you have to disable AVB and SELinux.
you can easily brick your tv and you need special cables... (depending where your serial port is)
should be usb on your model....

I just read on 4pda that some people have received v240 via OTA

I Cannot Help You Fix Your Phone
Sorry
Samsung always does crap different. They integrated the nasty vertified boot but does not enable fastboot mode which allows disabling it. At least as far my knowledge reaches, your phone is just to me a fancy, glowing paperweight, although I know telling you that is heartbreaking.
Your options could really get up to:
Find, some other posts related, or senior members and developers who are helpful, or Google 'vertified boot Samsung bypass' as a last hope.
Define your A50 as obsolete, (maybe cry for your money then) sell it on ebay as 'parts / unfixable'. If you need the data protected, sell the body, screen, battery and dispose the motherboard in some known environmentally friendly way.
I don't recommend putting your hopes off, so I will provide some related posts from now on.
If you wanna get the data back, there is a (kind of hard) way to do it.
Unsolder your emmc chip and solder it onto a usb drive.
Also, replacing the EMMC storage chip may help as the corrupted data will be replaced, and maybe that is the answer of the problem but that requires high soldering skills which puts off most people.
