Trying to recover data after XT1096 5.1 black screen bug

So I encountered this bug about 2 days ago. It's basically a bug that results in an un-responsive black screen for no apparent reason. I tried all the standard support protocols to save my data (i.e. copy files to pc via USB, and using Cellebrite to pull them off) but without MTP or USB Debugging enabled none of these options worked. Both Verizon and Motorolla tech support advised me to factory reset my phone. However being that a reset will wipe all my data, I've refused to go down that path (yet). So after doing some of my own research I came up with the following ideas, which so far have not been successful.

Idea 1 - use adb to sideload an OTA update with a fresh image that will hopefully resolve the black screen bug but not wipe my data. I followed this thread with partial luck. I got about 47% through the sideload process before it crashed complaining about an invalid full image check

Idea 2 - use fastboot to flash all the images except user data (again with the hopes of resolving the black screen bug without losing data) - But I can't seem to find a compatible set of stock images that will play nicely with my unrooted and locked bootloader phone.

Idea 3 - root my phone, load a custom rom (with no black screen bug) and preserve my user data - unfortunately mofo doesn't support an XT1096 root since I've already accepted the 5.1 OTA.

So my question are:
1 - Are there a set of verizon stock digitally signed images anywhere out there that will work with my XT1096 with 5.1 already installed?
if not
2 - Is there any way to root my phone or unlock the bootloader so that I can accept non-factory images without the use of Mofo?

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Is there the possibility to get a recovery image loaded? Mine is a GRA-L09.
Has anyone any idea?

Phone dead and bootlooping. How to recover data?

My moto X 2013 met an unfortunate demise by being dropped onto concrete. The phone will not boot, and cycles through the power on vibrate, wait about 10 seconds, and then power on vibrate again ad infinitum. I accept its fate, but there are quite a few photos/videos that I would really want to get recovered if possible. Is there any way to do so?

SM-G900A will not flash stock firmware, will not recover

A little back information to clear up how this started; a friend of mine has some very serious mental health issues and over factory reset his SM-G900A because he is paranoid someone will get his phone and steal his information. Its not stolen or found. The reactivation lock was triggered and hes so overly medicated he cant figure out what his Samsung account information is to recover it. He claims to have sent it back to Samsung and they couldn't recover it. I'm new to modding androids but have had a lot of success tweaking my SGH-I537.

I tried to reinstall the stock firmware to get around the reactivation lock. When i checked the properties of the phone on my pc it said it was running G900AUCU4BOF3 firmware. But a google search told me that the OF3 was a OTA to downgrade it to NCE. Several attempts with Odin "failed" every time and brought me rite back to the reactivation lock. Until the last attempt with my third different set of NCE files ended with a "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" warning on boot up. But Kies or Smart Switch wont connect to the device now.

Can someone help me please?

[Q] How to recover IMEI?

Please Help Recover from Failed Flash on OC1

Hey,

Sorry total noob at messing with my phone, buuuuuut I tried to (foolishly) downgrade my Verizon sch-i545 from OC1 because I hate it. I tried to flash back to MDK using ODIN 3.4, 3.7, AND 3.9 all of which failed. From what I can find it seems like flashing to anything from a Verizon sch-i545 running OC1 is destined to fail due to something contained in the update. Is this correct? Since the failed flash, I can't get my phone to turn back on normally, it just gives me the "Software Update Failed, use verizon software repair assistant..." which from what I can find is downloaded from the phone when you plug it in? But it didn't seem to do so for mine when I initially plugged it in to back up files. I can't find an online source to download the verizon software from. So basically I'm asking for help on just getting my phone functioning again? It doesn't seem like I've bricked it, but I don't know what to do after a failed flash? Can I download the 5.0.1 firmware and flash it using odin and it will actually work because it's 5.0.1? I'm tired of waiting 2 hrs to download a firmware to have it immediately fail haha. Or is there another much simpler way to get it out of this mode and back to just running normal ****ty lollipop? I can get the phone back into download mode, but that's it. Thanks for any help. Sorry if anything is silly or redundant, tried searching for hours without finding much.

Thanks.

Forgot pattern and cannot recover- nexus 4 with android 5+ lollipop

Hello.

I've repaired a nexus 4 screen and digitizer but I got it back because my friend can't recover access from a forgotten pattern lock.
He is running stock android 5 lollipop and he doesn't get the email recovery option when he inputs wrong pattern. I've searched even in google support but I didn't find a solution to recover his photos.

My main concern is to recover files and photos!!! There isn't a reason to suggest a factory reset....

--Phone Status---
Boot loader seems unlocked "Locked state is marked as unlocked in bootloder in red letters"
USB debugging seems OFF: There is no android device listed in device manager. I only get a music player in disk drives which is empty.
adb devices command in bootloader recognises it
When entering to recovery I get the message "no command" along with the icon of an android under repair.
No dropbox no google+ photos backup

---What I've tried---
Android Device manager: Returns error that the phone is already locked and there is no need to apply new password.
Tried about 30 wrong patterns and it didn't came up the google mail recovery option.
Tried during a phone call to see the files but I only managed to turn on WiFi.

How to recover lost internal storage space in Sony Xperia M?

Sorry if I am being rude by asking the same question but I searched all over the internet and couldn't find a solution to my problem. Thank you in advance.

The problem is that the allocated internal storage space for my Sony Xperia M has been reduced from 2.08GB to 2.05GB after having flashed this ROM - "cm-12.1-20150801-NIGHTLY-nicki.zip" with the help of this recovery - "twrp-2.8.7.0-nicki.img". The stock version of android I was using before I flashed Cyanogenmod is update 15.4.A.19.

My question is that

1. Will my internal storage space keep decreasing after every flash?

2. Is there anyway to recover the lost .03GB?

Since I am a new user I am unable to post any links. Sorry. And thank you again.

Attempting to recover from soft brick

I have been trying to recover from a soft brick that suddenly happened on my phone, I think I can fix it as I can get into fastboot..

However I am trying to flash system and I am getting a write failure.

I am using this guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...2XP6wjJE4/edit

and the latest stock android (the newer 5.1.1.)

I was having problems before in steps before that but I actually found that doing a fastboot oem lock / unlock and then trying actually let me get farther then I was able to before (before it failed on the bootloader-hammerhead part)

Recover from qhsub_bulk BRICK?

Recover data from encrypted Z3c with broken screen?

Hi guys,

The screen on my Z3C is broken.
I brought it to a repair shop, but they were unable to repair it, they've tried 4 different displays and the touch-input would not work.
So now i'm trying to recover my data, but i was using the Android encryption.
I can boot the phone into recovery and connect to it via ADB.
Is there any way to unlock and mount the data partition in the adb shell?
Or is there a way to unlock and mount the partition on my linux box if i dump the partition to my computer via netcat?

Thanks in advance!
