[Q] Screen dead on GS4. MHL screen mirroring? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need to get data off my phone and I am trying to figure out ways to do it short of replacing the screen on it.
It is stock and has a PIN lock screen. When I try hooking it up through Kies it says I need to unlock my phone and apparently whatever steps I need to do I cannot.
I was wondering if I buy an MHL hdmi adapter if it would start mirroring as soon as I plugged it in or if I would need to enable mirroring somewhere in a menu stuck behind the lock screen which I cannot get to?
Anyone have an idea if the MHL adapter starts working immediately when plugged in (mirrors lock screen) or have any other ideas how to get my data off? Thanks.

Bump... I'm sure someone has used MHL HDMI out with this phone?

[Q] Broken screen, need to activate HDMI

Hello,
My screen doesn't turn on but I was able to HDMI to see what I was doing on my TV. Unfortunately I turned off the "Detect HDMI". It was real stupid. Now the phone doesn't display anything through its HDMI.
Can someone make me screenshot to guide me? I want to try going blindly and check this box again.

How to mirror phone screen to laptop (with broken phone screen)

I got a s3 with a broken screen completely shattered, no light, no touch response etc. but the sounds and notification lights work, i can connect with usb as a media device i can access internal sd...
my question is is there any way i can mirror the screen to my computer via usb without doing anything on the phone because as i said the screen completely gone, maybe with adb or something?? i'm interested in how i can control the phone through the pc, like how asus pc link does it, if anyone can give me any pointers on further reading it would be much appreciated... i don't even know if samsung has such a function..
also i would like it if whenever i connect the usb the phone screen would pop up on the pc, are there any tools that do this?
ps: i heard about hdmi adapter but it doesnt let you control or click on the screen right?

How to control the phone without a screen?

So I broke my screen and I need to do a few things with the phone, like get things out of storage and maybe use a data transfer app to move everything over to another phone. Is that possible? If so, how would I do that? If I can just force it to display onto an HDMI output, that would be enough. I can unlock the phone just fine, but I can't see anything on the monitor and I think the top half is not responsive to touch.
Any help is appreciated.
You can just use a TYPE-C to HDMI Cable to display to an external monitor.

Access tablet after screen has shattered

Hello everyone
So last week the kids shattered my screen. Part of it still worked right after but now i got no display at all. I connected to an external display via a docking station and a simple usb-c to HDMI adapter. I get the screen to come up but its simply a gray screen with a lock on it and the time. Does anyone know how to get to the unlock screen so i can try and pull all my data off the tablet
If it's the data you want, why don't you connect it with usb in a pc. It will see it (probably if you had connect it at past. Otherwise it may need to preen in screen to give access, which you probably can't do..), as a hard disk and copy whatever can be copied.
If you can install a usb mouse when you connect it with a hdmi you could press the screen with the mouse also..
