Hi Everyone,

I'm using a Samsung GT-N7105. It has 16GB of internal memory. It has no external SD card.

A few days ago my phone's screen went black. Everything else works fine, including touch, just that the screen is always completely black.

I took it to a repair centre. After the repair centre ran some tests, (they kept my phone for 2 days,) they confirmed it was the LCD screen problem (i.e. a hardware issue). Since that LCD screen is expensive to repair, I chose not to repair it.

So now I want to install Android Screencast on my phone. I connect my phone to my desktop, and to my surprise I discover that USB debugging isn't enabled anymore!

So I call the repair centre and ask them what software changes they made to my phone. Their response is:

1) The partition table has definitely NOT been altered.

2) "Your Android version has not been upgraded."

3) "We used a special software to format your phone." They declined to tell me what software they used, and they don't seem to know which partitions have been "formatted"! But they did say that "format" was not the same as "factory reset".

(Btw the people at the repair centre are non-native English speakers, whereas my first language is English, so it was hard to ask about technical details.)

Therefore my best guess about the software state of my phone is:

1) It's running stock Android 4.1.2, which it's been running since the first day I bought it

2) The bootloader should have no KNOX nonsense

3) Recovery should be stock recovery

4) A few partitions have been "formatted" to unknown states

5) There are no longer any pattern, PIN, or password locks on my phone. If my phone is on and it's been sitting idle, I just have to tap the home button, then swipe the screen, and it unlocks.

I can reconstruct the partition table of my internal memory if you guys need it. I did an entire dump of mmcblk0 about two months ago.

(Btw the size of that dump of mmcblk0 is 15,758,000,128 bytes, which is significantly less than 16GB, even if you count by 1000s instead of 1024s. Unimportant side question, but does anyone know why?)

**************

My main question is: How do I enable USB debugging ON ANDROID with the black screen restriction?

I've searched the forums, and in thread 2395047 (can't post links yet) the recommendation is to flash CWM recovery to get adb access. But keep in mind that my ultimate goal is to be able to install Android Screencast on my phone, so that I can regain full phone functionality (with the help of an attached computer screen). I don't quite see how adb access via CWM recovery can help me to achieve this goal.

Also, I've never actually used CWM recovery before and don't know how it works. One of my concerns is: Once I have flashed CWM recovery, and after I boot into recovery, do I immediately get adb access just by hooking up to USB cable to the desktop? Or do I first have to select some setting, which would be tough to do with a black screen?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Hello,

I've been dealing with android for a while and have been a member of XDA for a while. In my time here I've searched for a solution to this issue many times all over the web and XDA but never came up with anything useful.

Of the possible solutions I've found, the most likely possibility is to use an OTG cable and mouse to interface your device but this requires you to see the screen which is not an option for you. adb in this situation is only useful if you want to retrieve data from your device. I do remember finding something on the web that could potentially help you turn on USB debugging but I'm having trouble finding it now. I'll keep looking but can't promise anything. In the meantime, try posting your question in the forum linked below.

Hi Droidriven!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and reply to my question.

Guess what, with the help of workdowg, I managed to work out a solution! My saving grace is that I'm running Android 4.1.2 and not one of the newer versions. My understanding is that if I was running one of the newer versions of Android, then I wouldn't even be able to get adb access via CWM recovery, because of the extra security measures. (Although I might be wrong about this point; I am still noob.)

I solved my problem in the following way:

1) Flash CWM recovery via ODIN Download mode

2) Boot into recovery, connect phone to desktop computer, open a command line terminal

3) Type "adb shell" to get a root shell in CWM recovery

4) In that root shell, type all the commands in the last code box at the end of the following post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63829295&postcount=27

(Much thanks to workdowg for this step)

5) Type "exit 0" to exit the shell in CWM recovery, then type "adb reboot"

6) Wait for my phone to reboot to Android

7) Type "adb devices", and now I see that I have adb connection to Android

After this, I was also able to successfully run Android Screencast with my phone. I can see my screen again!

So now, everyone please help me think of some useful search tags for this post / thread.
[XDA Assist] Droidriven:
I'll have to remember that, I wasn't aware of the difference in 4.1.2, I've not had to deal with 4.1.2, that's good to know.

Glad you got it going, now see if you can find one of your devices on eBay that is no longer working in one or another but still has a good digitizer and glass, you may find one cheap, then you can use the digitizer+glass from the used one to fix the one you are using.
[XDA Assist] ErnestChia:
That's a really good idea, which I didn't even consider. (Maybe because I've never meddled with hardware before.)

Thanks!
[LG G Watch R] JoLe1203:
Hello all,

I just bought me a LG G Watch R and installed it with my private phone completly.

Unfortunately I'm not allowed to use my private phone at work. But I have a phone fromy company (Nexus 5) for business use. I tried today to bundle both devices but it seems that it is not possible to use a different phone with the Watch without resetting it... I tried the APP BeeLink but this is not working anymore (according to some other threads...).

Ist there an easy way to connect a second phone to the Watch? Both phones should never work in parallel with the Watch, I just want to switch between them. Otherwise I have to return the Watch - it would be useless for me...

Thanks for your help!

Hello i have htc 820 dual and it is supposed to have 16gb internal memory. And i figured out that 9.12gb only is usable and the rest is for the system. My problem is that my internal memory is full and i figured out using sd maid that my files occupy only 1GB of that space.

[Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crshd:
Mine is fine...

But yeah, it's a hardware problem. I'd guess something about the glue discoloring. Apple had the same problem with their iMacs a couple of years ago.

Unfortunately there's no permanent fix, other than replacing the entire screen assembly and hoping the new one doesn't have the same problem. But then again it probably will, unless they changed the manufacturing process to fix this problem.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr hOaX:
It depends on how you use it

If you use your device only on WiFi with low brightness, you'll get more than 6:30 Hrs SOT

If you keep your data on with most of the services running in background, you'll get 3-4 Hrs SOT

Most of the users are reporting better battery life on KitKat ROM than on Lollipop ROM with similar usage scenarios.

Suggestion: Do not compare your SOT with others because you never know what their usage is. Some of them may simply keep the screen on for reading and can get 7-9 Hrs SOT

SOT = Screen On Time

Its not that big, display 3,1" and not 3,5 and dimensions 58 x 110 x 16 millimetres. (Artemis 58 x 108 x 16.8 millimetres) So the difference is unconsidered for a device with all new characteristics.

Stock android on ZF2

Hi.

Thank you very much for the super informative post. I am going to buy a ZF2 and I want to check if it is possible to run stock Android in this device. This is more an option for me and not a necessity. I just do not like customizations such as ZenUI, HTC Sense, TouchWiz and so. I have chosen this model for the price vs functionality otherwise I know that I could go for a Nexus model or a Motorola device that run on near stock android.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
I can't comment on radio part because I'm not familiar with it when it comes to sprint and verizon variants. Personally I don't think you can do that.

TMobile is GSM, different from Sprint & Verizon even though you can use GSM on them. I read that when a GSM firmware which include radio is flashed to a Verizon, it kills the radio and it needs motherboard replacement to fix it. I expect the same for Sprint.

Maybe [MENTION=660462]redpoint73[/MENTION] can assist on this matter.

Now .. about firewater .. you have firewater files but you don't have firewater live server. When you run firewater, it needs to download some files from its server (that's why you need internet connection when running it). Since the server is offline (in fact no more live server) the procedure will definitely fails.
