[HTC One S] Sapphire18:
Hello,

I am trying to fix my girlfriends HTC One S, she accidentally dropped it into the bathtub full of water, she picked it up fast, put it to rice so it sucks out the water and applied heat, the phone worked, but the touchscreen is totally unresponsive, is there any way how I could determine if the touchscreen is damaged, or the motherboard? I dont have anyone else around me who would give up their warranty and let me open theirs phone so I could test it. I already disassembled the phone, tried unplugging the connectors, checking if there is any visible water damage, but i got nothing, so either the panel or the motherboard must be damaged, I need some way to determine which one is it.

I will also add a conversation with Awesome, he was trying to help me at first and there are some more information.

The wet phone? I did reply. Is the phone rooted? If its not boot into the boot loader holding the volume down and power and click factory reset see if you get the touchscreen working again. If it doesn't work then you short circuit something but if it works and goes away then its your screen.

If your phone is rooted its gonna be hard to do factory reset.

Then I probably did not figure out the answer was for me o.O

Well, the problem with that is, that there are some valuable photos inside and a factory reset would definitely remove them,

I was looking for a solution for backing them up, I got to a software, that can control the phone from PC without the need of being

installed in the phone, there was a slight problem since it required USB debugging to be turned on and it wasn't. So I was browsing

the internet to find out if it is possible to turn on USB debugging from PC, or perhaps somehow, until here on XDA in some thread

someone said it is impossible, so I gave up backing up the data and went straight for the repair, that is why I need somehow to find out

if either motherboard is damaged or digitizer, I have the phone totally disassembled. I am guessing that some touch controller on board is

damaged, since I cant see any visible damage to digitizer, but I am not sure and I do not want to buy wrong part.

Also the phone is not rooted and is using stock ROM.

Thank you

Yes without USB Debuggin its impossible to extract those files, and without u doing a factory reset I really can't think of doing or trying anything else to figure out what may be the problem. Since its water damage you really won't see if its short circuited. I'm more than sure you got a short circuit rather than needing a digitizer. Other than that feel free to open a new thread in the general section of the one s and asking there maybe other users will have other options for you.

Thank you for help.

Em so is the bootloader unlocked? you could try to see if adb is working in fastboot or if it is unlocked I think TWRP lets you use adb.
[HTC One S] Sapphire18:
Well, its all in stock, so I guess the bootloader is locked, and without USB debugging turned on ADB doesn't recognize the phone.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Ok but have you tried adb in fastboot?
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
adb in fastboot should work, regardless of the setting in the rom.

What android version is it running? If its running 4.1 you could use an OTG cable and hook up a mouse to control the device.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Omg so forgot you can use a mouse so going to do that now for no reason lol.
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
Theres also an app that can share your kb/mouse to your android device, the device will see the kb/mouse as hardware plugged in.

ShareKM its called, works damn good on both my S and TF. :)
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Cool think I have a play later.
[HTC One S] Sapphire18:
Okay, here is what I got, the OTG cable is not working, that means the phone doesn't have Android 4.1.

The ShareKM application requires installation into the phone, meaning it is out of question too.

I am experimenting with this ADB in fastboot, but I am not really sure how that fastboot command works when I run ADB.exe trough command prompt and list devices, it show me only my other phone in USB debugging, when I run the fastboot.exe and type adb devices it says "waiting for the device", I do not really know how to work with this with a little guide, it shows me some commands there, i tried the one with rebooting into bootloader, but it still says only "waiting for device".

Could you give me a little guide perhaps link to guide what exactly I am supposed to do to run ADB in fastboot?

I am pretty technical type, dont need noobish explanation.

Thank you
[HTC One S] Sapphire18:
Okay, I managed to get into fastboot, I always thought it is something with the fastboot.exe in SDK Platform-tools, well, anyway, I am inside, it says Fastboot USB, but adb still isnt showing the device in the list.

Also there is a big pink ***LOCKED***, that means that bootloader is locked I guess.

Any other ideas how I could backup the files? or any other suggestions?

Thank you
[HTC One S] Sapphire18:
Moving slowly forward, I was being stupid and I was using the ADB command instead fastboot command, when I am in fastboot mode now, well, trough fastboot command now the PC recognizes the phone, altho what is the next step now?

Thanks again
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
Yeah, the ShareKM app was never really ment for you, it was more of a suggestion to dark :) sorry if it confused you.

I ran some quick tests, and yeah Im afraid adb is, in fact, not working in bootloader.

What happens if you boot into recovery? Maybe it works there?

What kind of things do you need to save? Is it just like pictures and stuff from the sdcard?

In that case, you could unlock the bootloader (this will wipe the device data, like applications etc) and install TWRP. Im 100% sure ADB works in TWRP without you needing to use the screen.
[HTC One S] Sapphire18:
Just tried booting into recovery, the only thing I am receiving is big red exclamation mark, not sure what it means, I did some digging and it usually appears when someone is trying to do OTA update from custom ROM, strangely, this is original stock ROM.

One S doesn't posses SD card, it has 16Gb internal storage, but is probably divided into some system partition and data partition, if that is what you meant. Yes, it is only some photos and videos.

You said TWRP, as I did some background search, it says touch recovery, that kinda sounds it uses touch, and that is the one thing I can't use.

Or am I mistaken?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Right you say adb is see your phone now, download Quick ADB Pusher load it and see if you find the sd card if it does just copy over everything you want, it will need to be in pull mode for this.
[HTC One S] Sapphire18:
It did not work, but I am going to describe everything I did: I started the phone, got into Bootloader, switched into fastboot and connected USB cable, then I started the Quick ADB pusher, switched into pull mode, opened ADB Explorer, but there I dont see anything, only "error: device not found".

Did I do anything wrong, or is it that the Quick ADB pusher doesn't work in fastboot?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Em did you try scan under select device?
[HTC One S] Sapphire18:
It shows me the phone there, under name SH27NW401121, but when I open the ADB explorer, there is only a folder named

"error: device not found" to me it looks like that Quick ADB pusher doesnt work in fastboot mode.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Then I'm out of ideas because unlocking the Bootloader will wipe the sd.
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
Indeed, Quick ADB is just a GUI front-end for adb commands. If adb doesnt work in a command line, Quick ADB wont work either.

Theres nothing I can do about that, its not like I can magically force your device into accepting adb commands.

Unlocking the bootloader wont wipe the SD... At least, it didnt for me (just the /Android/ folder).

Things like pictures taken and custom ringtones were still present after the unlocking.

So, ADB doesnt work when youre in recovery either? (the big red exclamation mark)
[HTC One S] Sapphire18:
And I am not throwing any blame either, I am just open to every solution :)

How would unlocking the bootloader help me? so I could put that TWRP inside and do some magic with it?

For the recovery part, I am not really sure how it is supposed to work, but every picture I googled shows some text

along with the exclamation mark, but the only thing I am getting is exclamation mark, and after a while the phone reboots.

I am guessing the recovery either wont load up, or something is wrong, should I try running ADB while that exclamation mark is shown?
[HTC One S] Sapphire18:
This is what I get when I run recovery.
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
Unlocking the bootloader will allow you to flash a custom recovery(TWRP, preferably), and when you boot into recovery(TWRP) adb WILL work, and you can pull whatever files you need.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Or just mount the sd using TWRP lol.
[HTC One S] Sapphire18:
Okay well, sound like my only option, I am going to search for some guide how to do it and get in touch if I stumble upon some problem.

Thank you
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
how is he supposed to do that when the touchscreen isnt working? :eek:
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Magic.

Hi guys

I came across this thread by "galchristian" in the Verizon SIII subsection, and thought I would share it here in the hope it might help someone. I myself haven't tried it yet as I'm at work, but I will be later on or tomorrow. According to the OP though, this seems to sort out battery drain issues for Jelly Bean.

Here is the original thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1976666

"For all of you who have a JellyBean ROM already installed and have the battery drain skip to Step.8

1. Download your JellyBean ROM of choice

2. Place on SD card

3. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP of your current ROM

4. Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache

5. Select ROM of choice from the SD card (Most ROM's these days come with an Aroma-Installer so remember what you picked to be installed and what not.)

6. Boot device

7. Set up the phone and let it restore all apps. Set everything you will use (facebook, e-mail, flipboard etc) -then ReBoot

8. I used TitaniumBackup and removed "Media Storage" and I also removed "Downloads 4.1.1"

9. ReBoot into Recovery & wipe cache and dalvik cache

10.Dirty-Flash your ROM of choice which you chose @ Step.5 and chose the same features if possible.

11.Install your prefered Kernel optional (I personally chose Ktoosez 3.0.49 just because it gave me good battery life)

12.Wipe cache and dalvik the last time and also fix permissions.

13.ReBoot the last time and enjoy!"

Please share your thoughts and feedback as I'm sure a lot of us are very peed off with losing 20% battery overnight.

Cheers :)
[Galaxy Note II General] fade2black101:
My first question will be, how can I convert a .tar ROM to a suitable format to be flashed via my SD rather than through Odin? Unless, of course, flashing a ROM via odin without wiping first is exactly the same as flashing a "dirty" ROM via recovery?
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Thanks to OP. But this guide is something like how to drive your Ferrari on 6th gear without mentioning how to start it! What is 'dirty flash'? How will you flash the ROM, Mobile Odin or PC Odin or what? Also not everyone knows what Aroma installer is.

Besides, I don't think even after doing this battery life could improve. Imo, if 4.1.2 had good backup then it'll be just present there normally, like 4.1.1.

'Swyped' from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II General] fade2black101:
Dirty flash is flashing the rom over your current one without wiping first.

From what I deduced I assumed the OP is saying to flash via your SD card and not via odin. Also that aroma is not necessary, but if you use it then to keep all settings the same.

If any newbies have any question we'll try and help them, but I don't think it terribly overcomplicated for most people on this site.

I am not sure whether this works as I haven't yet tried it, but the OP certainly seems to think it does.
[Galaxy Note II General] KyleDevlin12:
The op says "POSSIBLE" fix
[Galaxy Note II General] igol24:
I'm use to wipe /system before a new flash. Have i right to do that?
[Galaxy Note II General] fade2black101:
I said possible fix, the original op said it worked for him 4 times.
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Well for an upgrade there is basically no meaning doing a wipe, but if you want to make sure and wanna do a wipe anyway, then you should do it after flashing the ROM, not before.
[Galaxy Note II General] byuntaeng:
So what consequences will removing media storage and downloads have?
[Galaxy Note II General] svntysvnth:
Guys first thing first about battery draining is your mobile network not configure properly.. just realize it after I install configuration message from provider.. I drain 1% all over night.. and get 2day standby battery with medium usage.. 10 hours screen.. and leaving the phone with charging all night is weaken your battery.. first time I forget to unplug and everything change.. battery drain 5% after sleep 6hours..and only last for 1 day with medium usage.. 6hours on screen now I dont know how to make it back like it was.. using note for 3weeks :( anyone knows how to increase batt life without changing rom or kernel ?? Im still runing stock 4.1.1

Couple questions on the AOSP browser on the DNA, choochoo:

Does this zip replace the DNA's browser, or get installed alongside it? How would you go about going back to stock if you don't like it? And it seems like the stock browser gets all greedy with intents -- youtube, maps, etc. Will regular web links open in the AOSP if launched from another app? And does it reflow text after a zoom?

Okay, I guess that was technically four questions.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
It replaces it, I suppose you can copy the stock browser apk and save it for later. As far as app associations, that's controlled in the settings of the phone.
