Nonono
i dont have any data.
i want to see the screen
even tho if it lags, i want to see it
Hello?
Hi yeah
(it doesnt connect to kies btw)
Hmm
Its stuck, here.
Can you try another cable?
I dont have any other cable, but i know it fully works, its a Huawei Y6p Charging Cable, i fixed that phone using this one.
But. Explorer Sometimes finds the phone.
give me a minute
So you want to view the screen on your laptop correct?
Unfortuantely i don't have any data about your Galaxy S4 or a way to make it show up on your PC screen without ADB. But you can try grabbing an adapter that is Micro USB To HDMI and show the screen on your Monitor or TV.
How do you give you data?
Can you tell me what data do you need?
i know if a setting is disabled or enabled.
I don't have any support forums or community posts that include a solution that I can give you.
Reason: Posted a link
in that case i recommend contacting Samsung Support and see what they can do to you, but i dont think they will do much for your model.
so basically someone had the same problem and got it in recovery
thats what i want to try ...
but im not sure how to identify if the phone is in recovery
I know its Volume UP + home + Power, but for how much time?
I don't recommend going to the recovery screen since that can do nothing to help you use the phone screen on anything.
Can you DM me the Github post that you are referring to?
then we could enable the USB Debugging and ADB setting?
done
Alright I don't think that will work.
Not sure....
i tried the key combination and it didnt get in the stock recovery
as after bootup i heard a whatsapp notification
did you flash it with anything?
yeah there is no way to turn on USB Debugging from recovery.
i got uhh explorer access
Maybe there is a data file that we can edit with some program?
Maybe?
Hold on
Yes you can take your data from it but nothing related to the screen showing on your monitor.
Yeah from what I'm seeing you flashed a custom recovery on that phone.
I didnt.
It was my mothers phone for 7 years
i didnt even have access to it till now
and my mom doesnt know anything about devices
That's something you need to figure out because it seems like the phone isn't running stock recovery
Mmm
if then
if its not the recovery mode that is normally there
does that mean its rooted?
I have no experience in rooting.
I have no experience with rooting/ROMs with phones. If you flash your device with anything that is not stock you can void your warranty.
it doesnt even have a warranty-
but yeah, im gonna google that
Wait- Maybe it has ADB
I'm aware but thats the reason why I don't custom ROM unless it is a very old device that I want to repurpose.
Do you have the Samsung S4 Drivers?
What do you mean by Samsung S4 Drivers? Do you mean the actual stock software?
Yeah if the phone shows up on your PC then you have the necessary drivers. If it doesn't show up then you will need drivers.
In that case you don't need any Drivers.
Does flashing a new Recovery change the recovery buttons?
so i can know if i need to google twrp's combination
No, it doesn't.
So
ive tried getting into Recovery
and even Download Mode
Neither works
i hear the Samsung Tune
and the lights of the phone turn on
Yeah unfortuantely i can't help you with your S4 since you have no access to the display. You can try contacting Samsung Support from the link below.
https://samsung.com/us/support/
I have no idea what that is ):
i've dmed you the link
"On some devices, you also need to enable an additional option USB debugging (Security Settings) (this is an item different from USB debugging) to control it using a keyboard and mouse. Rebooting the device is necessary once this option is set."
that is what is said on the Github page
