coeptum,

thank you. it works with Card Export after disabling "advanced network functionality"

btw, what does that mean ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hitch:
Using XDAlive 2.0 it works fine also, I had to un tic the boxes under status, where it says Read only and Removable class. I'm using WM5torage.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Arktronic:
WM5torage works for me - for the first time ever! The original TyTN ROM and the 1.35 South Africa ROM did not work with it, but WM6 Black Edition v1.1 does. I'm pretty much confirming most of what whatledog said.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lennysh:
Has anybody gotten WM5torage to work on the Titan/Mogul? I'm currently running WM6.1, but I don't think either worked in WM6 either.

WM5torage 1.8 Working on Apache with helmi 6.1

I took a couple tries, but here's what I did:

Disabled Advanced network functionality in the USB-to-PC settings panel.

This did not fix it on its own, but I have left it off

In the Menu > Troubleshooting turned on Disable RNDIS on Activate

No love. Unchecked Disable RNDIS. Muttered absently.

Menu > Troubleshooting turned on Disable Concurrency

Hey howdy, it works.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] _PREZIDENT_:
i had the same problem, and fixed it yesterday by checking 2 points in troubleshooting menu of wm5torafe. you should have disabled concurrency and rndis. that's enough. no need to disable Advanced network functionality in the USB-to-PC settings panel.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekster83:
Hello all,

This is a strange request but desperate times call for desperate measures. My father recently got himself a new Samsung Galaxy S5 here in Australia, unfortunately a tragic motorcycle accident on the 1st of this month led to my father no longer being with us. This was heartbreaking for my family and I, I now have in my possession his phone, It is still operational from what I can gather, it still rings, still vibrates when hooking up to my laptop and it detects it. The screen is completely smashed and doesn't work and the phone is locked. I want to be able to access the phone to recover any photos etc he has on the phone itself, I am unaware of what type of screenlock is on it.

So far I tried Samsung Kies but due to the phone being locked I can't use that,. Nothing shows up on the phone in windows explorer. I've downloaded droid@screen and android studio and have tried to get that to show up so I can see whats on the screen and attempt to use android control to unlock the phone but so far I've had no such luck. I need usb debugging enabled but I'm going to have to assume its disabled and thus proving my attempts so far to be fruitless.

If anyone can give me any ideas or things to try I'm all ears, I'm ok with computers so should be able to figure out most things but this is my first exposure to these types of applications.

Kind regards,

Eric.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mithrandir007:
First of all, I'm really sorry for your loss.. :(

If he had a microSD card in his phone, it's likely that his pictures (and other documents) are on the card.

If that's the case, unless he encrypted the content, you should be able to just remove the microSD card and read it on your computer with a card reader.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanonZL:
Eric, do you have a MHL adaptor & HDMI tv?

You can view the screen on this via tv.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikka06:
If I understand well he is able to see the screen but cannot pass the security lock. If that's the case try to connect the phone to your PC and copy all the internal SD card, I think you will be able to access the content. Also not sure if a factory reset will deactivate the screen lock but you can try it in an ultimate attempt.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mithrandir007:
It depends on the type of security lock.

If it's swipe, then he can see the content by connecting the phone to the PC, but not if it's a password, fingerprint, pin, ...

He would have to unlock the screen before the files are available.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadMic:
Sorry to hear of your loss, especially at this time of year.

The idea of copying the SD card is the first step. If I read you're message right you can't see the screen at all?? I would take the device to a repair shop and get the screen replaced - tell them very clearly NOT to wipe / reset the device. Then you should be able to see the screen and might be able to figure out the screen lock. If the fingerprint reader was used there will always be an alternative password, you might be able to reset this to the gmail account used on the phone (assuming you have access to this?).

Hope you get it sorted.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekster83:
I copied all of the sd card and as it was copying it died, so I have most of the data off that.

No I don't have the adaptor but I do have a HDMI tv, so I will investigate this, thank you.

Cannot see the screen, and when I connect it to pc to check if there is anything on the phone itself, It won't let me as the phone is keypad/swipe/fingerprint locked.

This is what I am trying to find out what lock is on the phone.

I took it to a repair shop, its a catch 22 situation, They want $150 to pull the data off the phone, and if there is no data of use then thats a waste of money, They wants $240 to replace the screen, the phone has a very slight bend in it so if I replace the screen the phone still may not be able to be used properly so again would be a waste of money.

This is the main reason why I am trying to at least view the screen to ascertain what lock is used, I do have his gmail credentials so I can reset from there, from what I understand resetting the phone also loses any data (messages, pictures, etc) that is on the actual phone.

Last but not least thank you to everyone so far for your replies, I really appreciate you all taking the time to reply and try to help!

Regards,

Eric.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mithrandir007:
No worries.

Do you know if he was using Cerberus or Theftspy or another anti theft tool?

If he did and you can find out his credentials, you should also be able to unlock the phone with a command (at least Cerberus does that) or even transfer all the data to a cloud (dropbox, google drive,...).
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakuu:
Could he not physically open the phone and get to the actual sd card that the phone comes with that the OS and all that is on? Or is that locked down?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowofdarkness:
I had a idea for the lock screen but it will not help with seeing which you would have to deal with first. Any chance he left Gmail loged on any computer you have access to. You could try installing a app to bypass the lock screen.

I have never tried this one it was just the first I found that fit my theory of a workaround, although you could look around for a free one that may be better then you wouldn't have to worry about passwords to do the purchase.

If you know his samsung account information, you can login to their web service and remove the lockscreen passcode. From there, you should be able to USB the files off of it.

Anyone getting the sleep of death on their XTZ2? I'm running completely stock (not even rooted) on 23.0.1.A.4.30 and just experienced the unit not turning on at all until I do power + up volume.

Upon returning to life, the battery was 90%, so it wasn't battery.

Had a bit of a panic attack until I googled the solution (power + up) but this is the first time its happened to my unit, could it be related to the recent upgrade to 23.0.1.A.4.30? Anyone else seen this?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooly1:
Mine lasted a day and a half after the 23.0.1.A.4.30 update and then became very erratic and kept forgetting wifi login info.

Did a restart and certainly got a sleep of death OK.

Would not switch on at all.

No power + vol up or attempt at repair via PC Companion made any difference to it.

Since gone back to Sony for repair, that was weeks ago, who knows if /when they will return it.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxim512:
I had the same problem with mine as well I have the 561 the Verizon model. I have received a replacement but have not been able to get it to turn on either. It shows no signs off life at all not even when connected to power AC or PC. My old one would blink red and go dead when connected to a PC but this one doesn't even do that. I haven't had time to call for another replacement yet but really two defective devices in a row the second one didn't turn once.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooly1:
Finally got mine back from Sony repair agent.

Worked fine for 3 days, then failed to power on again as per original fault.

Once again returned it for repair.

Think I'll give up and buy an iPad instead - at least they seem to be reliable and consistent.

This just happened to my tablet this morning. Tried all options under the sun but can't get it to boot.

I can't even do a factory reset and I don't particularly want to return it under warranty.... :'(
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c64rbr:
Mine is an xperia z2 tablet sgp561 (USA Verizon) build 17.1.D.0.437, stock 4.4.2. This issue happened to me 5 days ago after I powered off the tablet, it won't turn on again. Battery charge was ~70% at the time. Plugging it with factory Sony usb charger won't do anything, charging status LED remained Off, power button unresponsive. I let the tablet sit for 2 days without charging cable connected hoping the battery will drain completely by itself and the buggy firmware will restart executing at its base address getting out of the bug. Then I connected the crap to a fully charged 15000mah Anker power pack and alas, the charging status LED glowed red and after ~5 more minutes the LCD screen turned On for ~5 seconds showing a big battery icon at the center of the screen indicating 0% charge. Waited about 1 more hour and the charging status LED turned amber. This time I did the "power button + volume up" ritual holding both buttons for 10 sec+, expecting 3 vibrations but didn't feel any. At this point the tablet is still powered off. Because LED = amber, thinking battery must be at least 10% charged by now, just pressed the power button for ~2 sec and surprisingly the normal power On vibration came followed by Sony logo on LCD screen and the rest is normalcy.

From what I can remember, the recent change I made before this problem happened was turning Stamina to On in the battery settings (factory default is Off). I reset all settings back to factory defaults and so far so good.

Finally got mine back from Sony repair agent after about 3 week wait.

Seems to work OK now, fingers crossed it will keep working this time.

The note that came with the return indicated that they replaced the mainboard and battery, which is a better solution than their first attempt which was just to reflash the software.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chesterr:
Dude same thing, WTF is going on, I tried plugging it into charger, nothing. And once I got the msg of red colour battery icon and then I plugged it in. then it started charging and I was happy so I turned it on the it wasn't charging,

Please update me what happened and what they are saying cause I am about to send mine to get it fixed.

Edit: seems that by replacing the battery and mainboard has actually fixed the issue? Guess it's time to send it back to them, Gosh
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chesterr:
Did this method work for you? Plus did you come across like it was charging but it wasn't really charging,(like it showed the low battery stat with orange/red colour LED notification but suddenly it vanishes) then it's not responding at all.??
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icyrev:
I had this issue 2 times with months in between , no response from power+vol up , no lights when charging , no response from pressing on the red button behind the flaps.

The last time it happened i tried putting it on the charger for a whole day with no result, then decided to let it rest a few days first , since someone had the same issue and it magically came back to life when he got back from a vacation.

So i try to turn it on 2 days later and the tablet to my surprise responds again with blinking red LED, recharching afterwards did the trick and worked again since

In my case i was running CM11 at the time, both times it happened after an update which required a reboot while, still mistified about the cause and the fix , i presume it solved itself by letting the battery drain.

Since then i reverted to stock rom just to be save but havent had it happen since, this also seems to have fixed some touchscreen problems i was having at times.

Hope this helps.

No! Leave it powered off, put in on a known good charger for at least 12 hrs. Don't touch it in that time.

If it does not come alive after that, send it in for repair.

ok..let me try that. I originally tried that and nothing occurred. However, I just found the OEM charger and usb cable and will try that. Unfortunately it's a Verizon version so sending it in will not be covered by Sony warranty. Per the Customer Service that I called.

tried an overnight (12hours) charging with the QC 2.0 wall charger with no help.

although, it was not a Sony charger but a third-party one so I don't know if that matters?

Same issue as before? You sent it in for a replacement and it happened again?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkinsoldier:
I had the same issue now twice and I got the tablet back to life with the following procedure:

preparation: "normal" AC charger (110V/230V -> Micro USB).

1) let the battery drain ... i sometimes waited for a few days (you should see if you waited long enough, when step 4 is showing you a red light...)

2) Turn on your PC and install flash drivers (e.g. "Flashtool" from binary: http://www.flashtool.net/index.php)

3) hold: Vol Down (Flashmode) on your tablet and connect to your pc

4) tablet should be detected with Flashmodus (red LED)

5) now quickly disconnect the tablet before the red LED turns off again and immediately connect it to your "normal" AC charger

6) the red LED should come up again (this didnt work for me without the other five steps!)

7) wait for a few more minutes (10 minutes or so) and then press "power on". It should now show you a battery getting charged and by "holding" power you should be able to turn back on the device!

Hope this helps!

Now the real question: how to fix this? It doesnt look like this is an issue caused by any recovery, because many other people with original software have this, right?

I also tried the method to press vol - and + and power at the same time for a minute but after i repeat all the procedure but this time i used the magneto cord for charger and the red led stay on with usb and magneto plugged, i decided to not touch the tablet and after an hour it comes alive alone with the last firmware version.
