[Q] Display broken but no USB Debuging enabled - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I read some Threads already but none of them helped me.
That is why i´m sorry that there is a new threat with the same things that are already in the forum. But nothing helped me.
My display is broken but i have secured my SGS 1 before ==>
USB Deb disabled and also by connecting to a PC you have to push on the display for selecting what to do (USB drive, Kies, ...)
I can not press anything on the display because it is broken. I tried already some programs to get my photos from the phone. But every tool requires USB deb. to be enabled.
Is there any reason to get to my data?
Please help!!!

Do you have CWM Recovery installed?

You are able to mount the sdcard from cwm recovery.
If you don't have it, just flash gingerbread bootloader. You can find guide from Insanity cm thread how to do it.

CWM Recovery is not installed
I will try to flash / Lets have a look at the thread

There is also the problem that USB Deb. has to be enabled respectively to have a display which is working

[Q] Semi-bricked, USB not recognized, doesn't even charge

Hi!
After searching the forums for a while I did not find a thread exactly matching my problem, so if I've overseen it, please just point me there.
To my problem:
I did a very stupid mistake, flashing a new custom ROM with a different kernel (as usual, cooked in Docs Kitchen) without converting back the lagfix. So I ended up with a non-booting phone - so far, so bad. Note to myself: Never flash a phone during the carnival weekend again.
So I booted into download mode and tried to recover it via Odin, but here I got my really bad surprise: USB device is not recognized, thus I Odin does not see the phone.
I tried 4 different PCs with Win7 or XP, a Linux desktop and a Macbook. I also tried 5 different USB cables (they all work with other smartphones like the Desire and the HD2). Wherever I stick the phone in, it is not recognized (code 10/code 43 in Win7). I used the stand-alone-drivers from the sticky forum thread here, and also most recent Kies versions, always the same: USB device not recognized.
Does anybody have an idea how to revive the USB connectivity? I'm almost at the point to send it in for repairs...
Or can someone elaborate how I could have killed USB with corrupting the ROM? I've to admit I do not really understand how these two are connected.

Hi Amokbunny
You get into download mode but the PC won't recognize the phone?
That's messy and I can think of nothing that could have done that. you did not change the bootloader did you (flashed a full samsung ROM containing a bootloader, for example VJ1)?
If not I guess it's a hardware issue.
formatted to ext4 without any backup
I did a very stupid mistake too. Got darky's rom 9.3., installed i, everything worked great(really awesome thing), then i wnt to recovry mode and entered tthe speedmod and it showed mr that my phone has rtf files system not EXT4 as it should be, thou i installed the speed mode. then i chose to repartition it to ext4 but i didn't choose the backup. Just clicked to format the sd. It did formatted to EXT4, rebooted, i saw the darky's rom logo and the the phone vibrated and the logog of the droid just flashed. I tried to enter recovery mode-didn't load. Started the download mode connexted to pc used ODIN 1.7 with PDA I9000XXJPY.tar, MODEM I9000XXJPY.tar, GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPY-LITE.tar s1_odin_20100512.pit.
The phone has started, appeared teh stok galaxy s logo and it's just flashing. Help needed. Don,t know what to do know. I have galayx s i9000 european version.
somehow i've managed to install new firmare 2.2.1 /I9000XXJPY-baseband /2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1-kernel version, but z4root isn't working. When i start permanent root the programm ends on aquiring root shell, the debug mode is on
Got it all running, installed Darky's rom 9.3. Thanks anyway.

Yep, I can boot into download and recovery modes, but that's it.
The only apparent change in the new custom ROM was the kernel.
I also cannot really access my external SD card (it shows me some phantom files, but not the actual content of the SD), otherwise I'd try to recover it this way.
I agree with the hardware issue, if it wouldn't have coincided with the flash procedure...anyway, I think I'll send it in for repairs if I don't get it to run on this sunday.
I have the exact same problem, except that I can access my external SD. I got the problem after upgrading to Darkys Rom 9.3 the usual way, but switched from Speedmod to Voodoo. After that update, my USB didn't work anymore.
I can't get neither Xp or Win 7 to recognize my phone. USB device not recognized, and tried all the tricks. Reinstalling Kies and drivers, switching between the different modes (storage, kies media, ask, debug...) But still no USB connection.
I updated to darkys 9.5 (transferring the rom using bluetooth, and updating using CWM), but still it doesn't work.
Can get it into download mode, but still can't connect using USB and Odin.
HELP!
Did anybody ever find a solution for this?
European version of I9000, bought in Denmark. No Simlock
Same thing here after installing JV1 + Ultibread Rom 1.4... Still no solution
*shameless push*
Any solution here? I dont have that problem, but it sounds too scary to not have a working solution :S
Same prob here! Any news?
Any solution? I have the same problem.

But if you are in download mode on your fone you'd rather should have a look at your configuration on the computer. Because the fone still can be flashed if the symbol for download still appears.
- Kies is shut down while ODIN is active?
- latest Samsung USB driver installed?
- Odin started with Admin?
Btw. did you try to get into recovery mode? Maybe this also still is working as the partition is quite small and chance high that it was flashed w/o faults. So you may be able to flash a zipped ROM rather than a tarball for Odin.
USB Not working when Phone plugged in... try these..
Unplug Device from PC..
Windows go to Device Manager...
Scroll down to Universal serial bus Controllers
Start with the top one and work your way down ..uninstall them all..
When done reboot Computer and let it install them all.. then try again
2.Settings --> USB Setings (under wireless & network may differ depending on Rom used) --> Try other settings Mass storage
3.Different USB ports on PC
4.Uninstall KIES from PC (reboot PC to take effect) and Reboot and just install samsung USB drivers....
5.Using windows type in msconfig in Start>Run box... windows will pop up and untick KIES from STARTUP TAB
Apply to take effect and restart machine.. try using ODIN to Flash ROM
I myself only use the Samsung USB drivers and ODIN never use KIES
or ...Check my signature and try SD formatter

[Q] Trying again: Rom with USB debugging set by default?

Hello,
I've got a stock Galaxy S ROM (factory reset - silly, don't ask) with a Speedmod Kernel and a broken screen. Do you know of a ROM (uploadable using ODIN) which turns USB debugging on by default?
Thanks in advance.
Dont know of a ROM that can do that but voodoo has a debug mode option. Its not the same as usb debug but maybe it will help. If you get into recovery i or someone else can give you directions (how many and which keypresses can get you to it) to activate it.
If your trying to access the device via ADB im fairly sure you can access it in recovery.
Why do you need debug mode? If its to replace the screen by Samsung I have read they don't care or look at the software, just replace it and see if it works..
Can't find much information about it, but it might just be a logging option rather than a control.
I haven't been able to access the device in recovery mode via ADB yet. Possibly missing recovery mode through improper key-press timing due to the broken screen, but not sure.
USB debugging enables control of the phone via the computer using ADB and utilities such as "Android Screencast".

Usb storage problem help!

Hi to all!
From Yesterday i have i sudden problem i never had.
When i connect my i9000 does not anymore show the 2 drives (usb storage of both internal external sd) on my computer.
I use Glitch kernel with latest cm7 kang.
When i connect the phone via usb to the pc,sometimes i get the erroe usb device not recognised (win 7 x64), and connects and disconnects randomly(always showing the error),other times doesnt do anything.
I tried cleaning the port,different pc usb port,different pc's, factory reset,different cable,older versions of glitch kernel or cm7.
Formatted also boot and system folders(of course also wipe data etc).
Installed kiss,boot the pc with phone off and then on.
Tried win7 x64 drivers.Sometimes i get on windows unknown device that i cannot find drivers that accepts.
On off usb debug mode and restart.
Nothing seems to work for me.
So id like to ask.....Should i try to go back on stock(firmware+kernel)?
And how is it done???
Or maybe its the port fault?
Any ideas?Noone?
Could someone please tell me how to go back on stock?
First to stock kernel then to stock firmware?
Thanks
The "device not revognised" error is related to USB debug mode, unless you have installed Google USB drivers.
Its not supposed to occur with debug mode=off.
Going back to stock (Leaked JVU) is explained here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431596
Thanks for the link.
Going back to stock worked for a friend of mine,which came today(he has the same phone with cm7.2 rco and glitch kernel but with usb port working)by simpling entering on download mode and flashing with odin.Drivers installed (from samsung drivers folder,after installing kies)
On my phone,on download mode,or it doesnt say anything or i get on pc the message uknown device,cannot install etc.If i try to manual push the drivers it says the device cannot start.
So it must be a hardware related problem no??
In this case ,because i am still on warranty,is there any other way (for example via cwm) to put stock firmware and kernel in order to claim warranty?
Many thanks for your posts.

[Q] I9000 Screen Shattered - Need Data Recovered

Hi everyone. I have searched the forums with no luck. I have a I9000 that has a shattered screen and as a result there is no image on the screen nor will touch work at all....I know, big surprise right? My goal is to get the data off of the phone. The phone is booting as I can hear the sounds and responds to Doanload/Recovery Mode commands etc. Before I would plug it into PC via USB and I would have to select one of three options on how the USB should behave. One of those options would enable Kies to access the phone. Because the screen is damaged, how can I force the phone to connect with Kies, or the computer for that matter?
All help is greatly appreciated.
Chris
hi, it will depend on what the usb is set to, if you switch the phone on and connect to the PC you should be able to use it as an external disk. If not start Kies then connect and it should connect, then you can recover your files

Hi thanks for the reply. Kies actually doesn't recognize the phone and suggests that I turn on Developer Mode (if I remember correctly).
I read of a way to recover the data by activating the Recovery Mode and plugging in to USB. The issue there is I would almost need screenshots of the menus to try and navigate through and mount the device since the screen is unusable.

Strange experience, you can also try some of these options:
(i) Can use the TV out cable so that the screen is displayed on an external display [Use the 3.5mm TV out cable, even Nokia TV out cable works]
(ii) For using recovery, you should know the cwm/kernal that was installed, as the menu options vary? if not, what last ROM version you had installed, this may also help you get the exact recovery menu options.

I will try that with a 3.5mm to RCA that I have from a digital camera and see if that works. I have never rooted the phone so it's stock and whatever the latest Android version for that phone is. I THINK its 2.3.1 but not sure.

[Q] Dead USB and stuck at boot

Hi
I have a P990 with a possible dead USB. It had a CyanogenMod 9.0.0 on it when it arrived.
Trying to revive the USB, I've found ocr66 post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1981359
I've followed the first post's step by step instructions:
-installed R2
-restored the provided back-up in that post (mexico)
Unfortunately, now the phone is stuck loading after reboot. The horizontal spiral under the LG sign is rolling several seconds, than it's stopping and that's it.
I'm able to go into recovery mode still.
Also, I have in hand a stock firmware (kdz), but I do not know if it is of any use from cwm recovery, and of course, usb is not functioning (that's why I've followed ocr's instructions).
Any advice please ?
Thank you,
Thanks

If it bootloops then maybe you will have to do a full wipe/format system. as you were in CM9 before, I assume that you are still in old bootloader.
you can comfirm this whilethe device is preparing to enter the old / new bootloader. The cracked new Boot loader has a pink LG logo.
As you are able to go to recovery, use the PA old boot loader....from tonyp....just download it form the dev section to the Ext SD Card. Then make a full wipe again from the recovery
flash the PA and also Kowalski Kernel. you are ready to go my friend
BTW, How do you charge if the USB port is not working....remove battery?
USB is still charging, but there is no sign of life in data communication with PC (exactly as in the ocr's mentioned post above, no question mark in device manager or anything else).
As far as I've understood until now, I am and I was on the old bootloader (LG sign is white at boot).
Maybe a little bit further details could be of help (I need to find and read your details, don't know exactly where to find tonyp bootloader and kowalsky kernel, what is PA a.s.o.)
Thank you,

you need to look out in the dev section....its ParanoidAndroid 2.6. Its stock Kernel is Kowalski...so no worry for you.
Did you try with a new USB cable?maybe your cable is broken...i mean the data contact....
For the data communication with PC, you need to install the USB drivers....check out on google and install it. then it will be connected. if you want to have without that, install on device and PC the MyPhone Explorer a free app...which can transmit or receive data on wifi, bluetooth or USB cable.
Hope this helps you
Of course I've changed the cable, the usb port, I've changed even the PC, but no communication, only charging, so it's not a driver problem (PC does not react in any way when connecting the phone).
Thanks, I'll try to follow your advice,
Hi again,
I've succeeded to simply recover a backup in CWM, from sdcard. But the USB problem is still there.
Let's put the problem in other words: I'm trying to access the "hidden" menu, with 1809#*990# as explained in the ocr's thread mentioned in the first post here, to try to revive the USB port.
But that hidden menu is inaccessible from CM 9.0.0.0 that I have now. So, I need to push a stock ROM, without using USB, only via sdcard. I'm assuming that in the stock rom the hidden menu is accessible.
I'm on the old bootloader. I need a zip packed stock GB ROM.
I've found an ICS 3.0A for CWM install but it does not work, most probably because of the old bootloader I have.
So, could someone post a link with a zipped GB stock ROM that can be installed with CWM directly from SDcard ?
Thank you,
Here's one I found in the development section -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31600327
The download links seem to be active still
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk 2
Yep,
It perfectly did the trick, thanks kingvortex, and everyone who helped me.
Unfortunately, the USB is hardware broken, I was able to access the hidden menu and the tests just confirmed this trouble. But at least the phone is usable.
If anyone knows some other GB stock firmware (2.3.6 ?), but ready to be installed only via sdcard and CWM, it would be very usefull, because it seems that 2.3.4 has a known bug that prevent apps installation from a newer version of the market (google play) - I've read about this bug here on xda.
I would prefer gingerbread because:
- the phone has the old bootloader
- the usb is broken
- it seems that GB is faster than ics on p990
Thanks,
