Apologies for asking again for what is likely the 100th time here, but what's the good backup/restore package these days? I used to use Titanium, but can't root my phone (Verizon S5 SM-G900V Android 6.0.1) so Titanium doesn't even run anymore and Helium seems to do the backup, but always...

If you read the thread, you can see all the steps I took to verify USB debugging was turned on. In a nutshell, you'll need an MHL adapter, a monitor, an OTG cable, a USB keyboard and USB mouse. Use the MHL adapter to "see" the screen, figure out where the mouse pointer has to go, unplug the...

No kidding... I can't imagine someone without any technical knowledge being able to move their data over in this type of situation. Oh well, it was a nice learning experience. I got a BT keyboard and Mouse for use with my Rapsberry Pi and now have a solution for the next time. Actually, I...

I'm in! I was able to use my MHL adapter and a mouse via OTG to get the trial version of Stream Screen Mirror going. Once I got that going, I was able to pair a BT mouse/keyboard and use an MHL adapter to "see". Out of "spite", I fired up Android Control and authorized ADB access and voila...

USB debugging *is* on. I was able to verify that once I figured out how to drive "blind" with a keyboard. I was able to turn it off, turn off debugging options, reboot, turn debugging options back on, then turn on USB debugging. I'll have to try again but when I used Switch to move my wife's...

Having a little success in "driving" the phone now with the use of an MHL adapter and some swapping of MHL and OTG cables and a keyboard. I've verified USB debugging *IS* enabled, turned it off, revoked previous privs, turned developer options off, rebooted the phone, turned developer options...

Was able to recover an ADB key file pair from Saturday afternoon's initial attempt to get in to the phone. Still no joy. However! I *was* able to drive through the settings menus with a keyboard. USB debugging IS on and I was able to revoke USB debugging Authorizations (Thinking it'd make...

It's possible I do have USB debugging on, but I can't be certain. I was entertaining the thought of rooting that phone a couple months ago, but got busy with a few other things and "back-burnered" it. I know I had ODIN talking to that phone and during my "I think I'm going to root this thing"...

Just spent almost an hour on the phone with Verizon and Samsung. The 2nd tier person at Verizon said that if the phone was still activated, they *might* be able to get in remotely and tweak the USB Debugging setting for me. I would have to acknowledge the request on the screen, but that may...

Yeah, I've seen a bunch of those, but have read several reviews that state it does not work with the S5. I wish I could find one locally just to try it out and if it doesn't work, I can return it without too much hassle.

Yep, have all this working. Replacement phone works so my config is correct. The issue is USB debugging got turned off somehow. If I can get in via ADB, I can tweak the files I need to turn it back on. Or, I can find a MHL/OTG combo that works and just turn it on via the screen. Hell, if I...

Phone fell out of my pocket and got run over. Screen is completely black and the digitizer is done as well. If I connect it to my PC, it comes right up, but I have no way to enable USB file transfer mode so I can't "see" the SD card or internal memory. I tried to use [email protected] with Android...

A bit late to the party, but I found my GS5 wouldn't go into recovery if the USB/Charge cable was plugged in.

Quick update. It appears the phone *IS* going into recovery mode or at least appears to. If I do the button press sequence to enter that mode, I can wait 10 seconds or so, run the "cursor" up and down (Keeping track in my mind of what options are what) and then back to "Reboot device", the...

Hopefully this is in the right area and someone can help me. My Galaxy S5 (Verizon, stock Android 6.x) fell out of my pocket and the screen broke and the digitizer seems to be down as well. All I have is a black screen and no way to control it. It still appears to be working as I'm getting...
