Alright, I'm going to need a little more info before we can figure this one out.

The screen is broken, ok. Is it black, or can you see anything? Is it responsive in any way?

You're running unrooted stock, what version? Ics, Jellybean?

What OS is on your computer, and what tools do you currently have?

In order to do this, you will need to root the device (unrooting without a trace is easy as pie ;)) but I will need to know what situation we're looking at, ie.. How bad is it? lol

Couldn't he just flash a one click that preserves user data like music and pics but deletes settings and apps, then connect it to a computer and browse through its folders?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grayfox126:
No because nodata restores keep all user data intact, which includes passwords.

The best thing he could do would be to get into ODIN mode and use adb.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
I still think he should just fix the damn thing. Its not that expensive nor is it hard to do. It is a lot better than getting a completely new device for a few hundred dollars.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Adb won't function in Odin mode, recovery yes, but only if the recovery has it enabled.

True, but it involves a technical know how that may be beyond his abilities. Let's get his data backed up just in case;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grayfox126:
Thanks for correcting that for me. I don't want anyone to be misinformed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
That's why they have professional repair shops. Spend between 100 to 150 max for a full repair. I do it for cheaper normally. And honestly, fixing it would be easier than ADB on my opinion. But I do agree, backup of the phone is needed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjohn_S:
Thanks all - the reason for this backup is because we ARE having it repaired, by samsung... and while they say they dont restore the phone, we want to be CERTAIN...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjohn_S:
Nothing on the screen.

I believe she's done all the updates sprint sent out, so probably JB.

Win7 (or any windows version I want...).

Tools? any software that runs on win7

Also most small philips or regular screwdrivers.

But I'm 6'4" and have huge hands so working on tiny phones == not ideal. I can rebuild your laptop, but these phone things are so much smaller.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Putting a new screen/digitizer assembly in is no issue with large hands. 9 screws, good sir. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I believe the last over the air update was still Ics, fl24. Do you know if she updated using kies? That would be the jb gb27.

Either way flashing a custom recovery shouldn't really matter as you're not booting into the ROM.

By tools I meant do you have Odin on your pc?

I'll get together a zip of a build.prop that will install to the device enabling usb debugging so that you can properly use Adb to pull your data.

In the meantime, download a ics custom kernel, any of agat's will work, and a jb custom kernel, agat's or garwynn's will work. Also download Odin if you do not have it.

Once I have the zip in order we'll go from there:beer:

If you're interested and willing to trust me I've got an extra S2 I use for dev work. If you send me the broken phone I'll swap the screens, recover the data, save it to a DVD disc and then swap screens back. I'll send you the broken phone with the DVD and you can go from there.

All I ask is that you cover shipping. :)

I do agree that it's an amazing offer!

If you're replacing the digitizer/screen for me then I don't suppose a backup is necessary? my daughter says ' but dad, theres personal stuff on there... (in her most girly girl voice - LOL :laugh: )

Anyway - I got my hands on the phone now - it's a D710 model number - someone asked that earlier in the thread...

After coffee and between meetings i'm going to boot it to recovery and see if I can connect to it with ADB... then I have to make a decision!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Sorry, I meant I would temporarily replace it so as to recover the data and then I'd put your phone back together so that you could send it in for warranty replacement or selling on eBay.

If you choose to send it to me you can assure your daughter I'll behave. The community here should be able to vouch that I'm a pretty decent guy and trustworthy.

I'm going to put some juice into the battery then try ADB...

power + vol up, right? for recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Correct.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjohn_S:
does the notification light or any vibration when you are in recovery? again working without a screen is .... daunting...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
No lights or vibrations.

How it normally goes is.

Hold power and volume up till the boot image shows up

Release power but continue to hold volume up until recovery shows.

I don't have my E4GT so i can't time it. Can someone time it so he can be more sure of where he is at?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Delete, I misread. Thought you meant Odin mode.

for recovery its roughly 10 seconds

OK, before you try this, these are FL24 files! If for any reason you think she might be on jellybean do not use these files!

Now to clarify, in order for her to have gotten jellybean, she would have needed to use samsung kies on a pc to upgrade. It sounds like she took all of the OTA updates, but be certain before we screw the device up.

Now, just my two cents but, if you're unsure, especially if she's unsure, or you just don't feel like messing with it, I'd take RW up on his offer. You'll be getting the device back in the same condition its in now, but you'll have recovered all of her data and can send it in for repairs. Honestly, this is the route I'd take. I hate to give bad advice, especially in this situation, his solution is about as near a guarantee as you can get on recovering her data.

If you think you've got it covered and still wish to proceed...

Download this, use version 0.4.0

Once that's installed, give the device time to boot into the rom, then reboot back into recovery and try to push the file in the attached zip.

adb push your/directory/build.prop /system

Please note that you are doing this at your own risk, and I can not, and will not, be held responsible for any negative repercussions or unexpected complications.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjohn_S:
WOW. you guys are amazing.

Any way to tell with ADB what she's running?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
adb shell cat /proc/version

This will tell you what kernel version she's running, but we'd need someone with some kernel experience to weigh in on what one it is. I haven't compiled one yet, so don't know what the linux version should be for FL24.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JayDroid412:
If not going to repair said device? May I ask if your looking to sell it....big would be glad to retrieve data from it for you and mail it back and buy the device from you. Or I would just go with RW's offer. BTW that repair officially is $149.99 but you can get full fronts on eBay for $75 if your on top of the game....

[Windows RT General] bigsnack:
I just installed the Lenovo settings from the app store for my Yoga RT, but it tells me I have driver issues and need to reinstall it. Specifically, it says this for the battery and mode transitions. It tells me that there is a diver error and that I need to reinstall them. I think everything is working correctly seeing as nothing shows up in device managers. But, I am not sure, so I would like to be on the safe side and just reinstall the drivers. How would I go about reinstalling these drivers? I know how to do it on a regular windows device, but not familiar with how to go about this on RT.

Thanks
[Windows RT General] GoodDayToDie:
Same way as a "normal" device - Device Manager, either "update" the drivers or remove them and then re-install them.

The only meaningful difference is that you usually can't *find* the drivers manually; you have to rely on Windows doing that for you. Microosft has frowned mightily upon the handful of people who were distributing RT drivers directly.
[Windows RT General] bigsnack:
So, if I just uninstall the drivers like I would on a full Windows device, restart and everything should be back to normal when it comes to drivers, right? If so, which drivers would I need to uninstall, regarding mode transition(i.e. flipping the screen around in the variety of modes, which disables the keyboard and trackpad)? Thank.
[Networking] Rigit:
As some of you may know yesterday i went through he!! getting my Razr M rooted. I did it. The reason for the root was the built in tether on the Droid Razr M doesn't work with my Droid tablets both running ICS. So I figured if I root and then get a tether from Google Play then it might work. Problem now is I've downloaded all of them seems like (accept FoxFi it sucks now because it makes you install a screen lock password that can never be removed.) I set these things up start the tether and no device can see them. My laptop, tablet destop all nothing. As if it weren't there. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong if anything. I've used wifi tether on my rooted Droid X and it worked great. Now not so much. There seems to be extra settings like select lan network. The choices are ip addresses. 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24, 192.168.3.0/24, 172.20.21.0/24, 172.20.22.0/24, 172.20.23.0/24, 10.10.1.0/24, 10.10.2.0/24, 10.10.3.0/24 what do they mean? Is this my roadblock? Frustrating as hell. Using 3rd party tethers for rooted devices has always been simple and effective. I used them on my Droid X because the built in version would drop out after 5-15 minutes and I'd have to turn it off and on to get it back. Now I just want to use my tablets. A USB tether would be fine with me if I could find one that worked on my tablet. I used to use PdaNet but it's bundled with FoxFi now. Suggestions?

Broke down installed Pdanet and Foxfi. Installed pdanet for tablets on tablet side. Made a connection to the phone via foxfi. The hope was foxfi would talk to the tablet where the stock tether wouldn't. No dice. Apparently the problem resides in the way to phone negotiates internet traffic. There's a connection there but no communicating is going on. I've spent too much time on this already. I can get us online through the phones via connectifyme installed on my wifes laptop. It seems a router between the phone and the tablet fixes the issue. Problem is there's no way to connect a router to a phone. While not perfect, it's better than nothing. It's just my wife likes being online during trips and that isn't possible now.

I'm in the process of restoring a stock ROM on it so I can carrier unlock the device and use my AT&T sim to test it. Unfortunately, until I get that wrapped up, I won't be able to comment on the battery life. It's been great so far, but the extent to which I'm using it is simply WiFi and the screen. I can say this though: I leave it on overnight uncharged, wifi on, with all my apps downloaded and syncing if necessary, and it drops about 5%. So idling for about 6-8 hours, those numbers aren't so bad.

I'm looking forward to your instructions. I am fed up with all the bloody forums and threads and out-dated and contradictory information, not to mention the appalling English, which often makes things very ambiguous and difficult to understand.

My USA T-Mobile LG Optimus L9 P769 is rooted (I used the very simple LGpwn.apk method) and I have also installed the ClockWorkMod (CWM) using the L9RecoveryInstaller APK (v1.5.0). My bootloader is still locked, though, so I am limited with what I can do. I have already SIM-unlocked it (that was the first thing I did, since I travel internationally).

What I really bought the phone for was to use as a portable hotspot. I live in Australia where, like most of the world, wireless tethering is FREE and a simple matter of ticking the ON box. I have used my jailbroken iPhone 5 as a portable hotspot on my USA T-Mobile SIM card before and if worked fine. But this Optimus L9 just won't let me tether successfully. Any of the apps in the play store that successfully set up a mobile hotspot are useless, because I simply get redirected to T-Mobile's info page telling me I need to pay for tethering.

So I am hoping a new ROM might be faster and also help me get around my tethering issues.

Once again, I'm looking forward to your guide :)
