Hi guys!
I have a Galaxy S3 with broken display and (MHL tested) broken digitizer.
Device works, I get home screen but can't unlock.
I would rescue the smartphone and I think that the way is using ADB (with [email protected], screencast or similar).
I don't have alternatives right?
The problem is that I can't use ADB cause actually it does not have USB debugging enabled.
Just a couple of questions:
Can I use ADB in recovery mode (without USB debugging)?
With MHL I get broadcast in home screen, not before, is that normal? How about MHL in recovery mode?
I can only imagine a solution: Go in recovery mode and execute a "no-look" change of ROM installing something with USB debugging option enabled by default.
Do you have other solutions?
Who can help me doing this? Does exist a "how-to" somewhere? Which ROM?
Thanks!!
Hello,
i had the same problem, i could solve it. Here is how i did it:
Click.
I first had to root the phone and also get a recovery on it (i think it enabled ADB).
The problem is the broken digitizer. You can't use the USB-Debugging because you need to confirm a popup from Android (i think it depends on the Version of Android).
Hope it helps.

hello there,
I'm using Galaxy S1 I9000, and my screen just got broken, and shows nothing now (black screen).
I have found this PC software that allows me to see my android device screen Via my computer.
Unfortunately my "USB debugging mode" wasn't turned on, so I am not able to use this software.
I'm able to get inside CWM mode, but I do not know how to enable this option .
so my question is, is there any way to enable usb debugging mode through CWM on the device and ADB on my computer??
I have tried to use the ADB software but when I enter: "adb devices" it shows no devices.
any solution to my problem without buying a new screen?
I used SLIMROM with JB, has CWM 6.
Thank you.
Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100G version) with a broken screen. The display is blank and shows nothing, but I know the phone is working properly because of the sounds played (boot sound and notifications).
I have come through this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395 , but there is only one problem. USB Debugging is not enabled. The phone is not rooted, and is fully on stock (ROM and Recovery). All I want is to only enable USB Debugging, and I can use ADB to do everything else. I tried to boot it into recovery to see if that gives me ADB access, but it boots normally. I tried to boot it to Download mode to flash CWM through odin, but I can't see anything and it still boots normally. I pulled the settings.db file from another S2 with the USB Debugging enabled, but I need ADB to push it to the broken phone. I read the solution in the link above, but I don't know how to sideload or how to edit a kernel or anything like that. I have access to another S2 (same version), rooted, and with a custom recovery (CWM) if that will help in pulling a file or anything. I read so many threads, but none of them had the exact problem, or worked when trying to do what they said. What I can do now to enable USB Debugging?
Please help. Thanks in Advance
EDIT: I was able to go to recovery mode and ADB Shell, but I cannot get root permission at all to edit build.prop or even settings.db
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can help with my poorly phone?
My phone broke a couple of days ago and the screen is black and digitizer has broken therefore I’m unable to use it. I don’t think there is any point trying to get the screen fixed but it will cost as much as a new phone would. But what I would like to do is backup the data on my phone.
I have not got USB Debugging enabled and when I connect my phone to the PC, the drivers are installed and I see my phone as a portable media device but there are no files or drives to display the phones data through windows explorer! Please help!?
After some research on the internet I have downloaded [email protected] and ADB.exe but the phone is not recognised (I believe this is because USB Debugging is not enabled).
I then did some further investigation and managed to book my phone under fastboot in recovery mode and selected ADB mode, this connects to my PC and new driver is installed but I am now not sure how I can use this mode to backup my device? And enable USB debugging so I can use my phone on [email protected]
Anyone able to help?
Thanks
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

Same problem :crying:
Hi,
i broke the Display of my ZTE Axon 7 mini on stock ROM and without USB debugging enabled. No custom recovery or anything done to the device. The touch interface of the screen is at least partially functioning, i'm able to boot it, unlock it by guessing where to draw the pattern (i know bc the fingerprint sensor is working afterwards) and power off as well by clicking on the spot where the button should be. I've read some threats about tools to access your phone with broken screens, but nothing worked. Thing is, i think i set the usb-setting to "charge only" when connected to my pc. So the device won't be recognizedwith adb fastboot. Which means i cannot use the method described here for instance.
So does anybody know how i could change the settings or get at the data generally? I'd be really glad if someone could help.
cheerio

@YoYo178
On PC run
Code:
fastboot devices
to check for a valid connection. If phone is connected via USB with PC run
Code:
fastboot reboot
to leave fastboot mode ( means re-start phone normally )
Afterwards run
Code:
adb devices
to check for an established connection. If a connection got successfully established
then you force phone to run in adb-mode
Code:
adb shell "svc usb setFunctions adb"
adb reboot
Now you should be able to recover phone's user data. For example
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/DCIM %TEMP%
Code:
fastboot devices
yes it shows, done.
Code:
fastboot reboot
yes it reboots too.
Code:
adb devices
nah nothing shows in adb devices (USB Debugging Isn't Enabled)
And I Do Not Want To Recover Data, I Want To Mirror Its Screen. Well, There Is A Lil Bit Of Data Too.
I Want To Enable USB Debugging And
Code:
push adb_keys
file Which i got From A Authorised Device.
@YoYo178
You can't enable USB debugging by means of ADB: Having USB debugging enabled is THE requirement to make use of ADB.

Hi there, I had the exact same problem with my moto e 2nd Gen LTE (surnia). First of all this isn't a software issue, it's a hardware one ! Displays on some of those phones were faulty and I had to take it to repair it (just to clarify).
I had an immense chance because just before that I installed a screen mirroring app. I opened it through Google now (it was 6 years ago lol) and blind clicked because I remembered the layout of the app.
If you didn't have that chance you can try with USB OTG cable to HDMI port, and connect your phone to a PC with an HDMI cable. I didn't tried that on mine, so idk if HDMI through OTG works. Good luck with that :good:

Sorry to hear it doesn't have OTG, I won't be able to help any further as I'm not experimented enough in that field, hope someone else will do tho.
Have a nice day anyway
