Hi,
My Z Ultra's screen is cracked and i would like to use it for my TV as a Android-Box replacement, because it's actually still usable i think. Now my Problem isn't finding a suitable Rom(i think) or general knowsledge about rooting.
I think i got all the needed tools like a microsoft bluetooth keyboard with touchpad(regular usb mouse and keyboard too if needed), a MHL/USB(all-in-one) OTG adapter, HDMI cable and the universal USB micro to usb adaptercable.
SO my questions are:
1) Can i root without actived USB Debugging? (i can't activate it due to the cracked screen) ...Most important!
2) Is Towelroot still good? Or are there other easy root methods for newbs?
Thanks for reading any maybe helping

Have you tried using the USB mouse with the OTG adapter?
I.assume you have seen this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...de-cracked-screen-beast-life-tv-xbmc-t2907921

I am testing now and mouse works fine with developer options and USB debugging turned off.
Does your phones screen display? I also reread your first post ", a MHL/USB(all-in-one) OTG adapter," the OTG cord I have is just a male micro and female full size USB.
Yes the screen seems to display. i tried it with the z ultra and oneplus one, both didn't respond to a mouse(two different tested with two different otg cables). I still got the S4, will try that on it too later.
Basically you plug it in and you see a mouse cursor or what? i clicked around, but nothing...
Also on my Z Ultra the widget on the screen seems to jump around, just like the stars that move when you touch the screen usually if you get what i mean.

Yes I see a cursor (even on the lockscreen) and it does give the shooting stars effect when swiped. Needed to hold down left mouse button when swiping and then release.
my shooting stars "cursor" seems to either jump around or not appear at all, but nothing happens.
Does anything pop up on the top down menu or does it play sound when connected?
Would this from this thread work on the XZU too, due to it being android based?
Reset Nexus into recovery mode (power & volume down)
2. Connect to PC via USB. Install the USB driver from the SDK so that it appears as an ADB device
3. Fire up the updated toolkit. You should see the nexus as a fast boot device
4. Unlock bootloader
5. Using option 10 on the toolkit load up CWM on the phone. This gives you ADB access so can you pull files off the device via ADB although I could access the SD card through programs like Droid explorer.
6. If you want to carry on further and get into Android properly, you'll need to wipe the cache from within CWM
7. Reboot and hold down the volume key to get back into recovery
8. In the toolkit select root options (option 4) and load temporary image (6) If it hangs on the google or nexus logo you've not wiped the cache.
9. With this second phone I couldn't access it through droid explorer as it was popping up as an MTP device but I could pull the files via command prompt or through the toolkit
10. If you have any use of the touchscreen at all you can run the following command which will then mean that any touch will unlock the device
adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key
11. You can activate bluetooth via adb if you have a mouse or keyboard available but you will need to be able to press okay on the screen
12. Any changes you make in the unstable android image such as lockscreen, bluetooth, enabling debugging, etc will remain in place when you restart the device.
13. You can relock the bootloader if you wish via the toolkit. You just need to be in recovery mode first.

I have no idea if any of that would work, to me it sound like a lot of it would only apply to Nexus. I checked and the only indication I have that mouse is connected is the scroll wheel lights up. I had three apps that I thought may remotely effect mouse so I uninstalled and rebooted and it still works. I also looked through all the settings menus and can't see anything there.
Is there an app mybe, that would set USB Debugging automatically to enabled just by installing it? I can load apps from playstore to the device
Or do fastboot or recovery mode provide USB debugging enabled?

Or try another mouse, or something because I was able to control via mouse. Here in the states we have a two hour window for refunds, but it is already late here and I should be sleeping or I would offer to test. Here is a YouTube video that shows it working the way it works for me.
http://youtu.be/W8HVEHNOy7I
bought it, but it still needs usb debugging enabled in order to function -_-
thx at least now i know how it SHOULD work :laugh:
it seems i can't use adb driver because this once again needs some android setting enabled.
weird thing is right now that i somehow got into some menu beyond the lockscreen, but still cant do anything :crying:
so close, but so far at the same time
I'm about to buy a fire tv or some other android box and throw the XZU away as it seems its useless in this state without zsb debugging

How old is your Z Ultra? The reason I ask is people have reported very mixed results as to getting screens replaced under warranty. I think I even recall someone who wasn't the original purchaser getting a screen replaced for no charge.

Hi all
I have a problem with my hero not being recognized by my PC. This happened after a weekend trip and i charged the phone with iphone USB adapter as i lost my one and now after returning from my trip i connect my hero to my PC to be greeted with the "USB Device Not Recognized" message.
Also my Amon_Ra recovery i used has been wiped and i cant get into recovery or install any rom at all.
I am thinking this might be the same USB brick that affected some Desire owners but i am not sure.
So please if anyone can help me, please do.
Thanks in advance.

this happen to me. What i did was switch my phone off, plug in the usb and switched it back on. then wait for windows to say it not recognised. then go to to device and printers and uninstall the drivers for the phone. Disconnect and reconnect the usb back to the phone and it it will pick it up.
Can you try booting in fastboot and tell me if that is recognized?
it still doesnt recognize it in fastboot

Sounds like its just a driver issue. Have you tried plugging it in, when you get that message open DEVICE MANAGER,... Find the yellow "!", right click it, uninstall, unplug phone, reboot PC.
.... Then use BTDAG's [Guide] How to Setup Correct Hero Drivers (for x86 & x64 users)
I hav the same problem. In recover mode it works but then turn on the phone, there is no popup options as before. Tried around with drivers but didnt work either. But found a solution which is very convenient. I dont know if it works on other ROM versions but I'm on 2.1 (Villain10).
- Install extended control widget (dont remember where I got it but you can google, it seems I cannot find it on the market)
- Add this widget to the home screen: Menu/Add to Home/Widget/ Extended Control bar (you can choose the size from 1x1 to 1x4) then select "Mass storage" at the bottom, apply.
Now you have a widget to turn on/off USB storage. When you connect Hero to the PC, just click on this widget then the PC will connect to the SD card, and click one more to turn it off.
ok i will give that a try

No i havent and i gave up trying because i dnt think there is a fix for it. if yours is unrooted and the warranty is still valid you should consider returning it to HTC maybe they might replace it

Did you try that?..... You need to do the reboot PC/Laptop after uninstalling ALL HTC drivers! Then when you reboot PC, plug phone back in, should say "not recognised" again,... then follow BTDAG's guide. T'is definitely a driver issue!
tried flashing 3 roms, modaco, radug and now kimera... none working.
can connect in fastboot, it shows up in device manager as android 1.0
ive tried 3 different usb cables and 4 differet pcs, still there is no response on my phone !!!
using villian rom 10.0 rite now.
okay it boots up into fastboot and fastboot usb shows up on the screen in red,
BUT when i use the "adb devices" command in adb it doesnt show the device,
it is showing as android 1.0 in devices and printers (windows 7)
You need to use....
fastboot devices
....when your are in fastboot.
What happens when you go into your recovery, select "Toggle MS/USB" with USB connected to PC?
okay
fastboot devices command shows some serial number.
then i tried adb remount, it gave an error....
enabling usb-ms with cable attached gives no response
ok i think it might be USB driver like ddotpatel said but i am not sure.
i reinstalled my whole windows 7 to 32bit now instead of the 64bit version i was using before and today i just connected my hero to my PC and windows 7 did its thing and installed the drivers and finally my hero can mount the SD card in my PC again although i kept getting this can perform faster in USB 2.0 port or something like that i didn’t care as long as i can mount my SD card again.
now went into fastboot and used the fastboot device command and i could see my hero serial no. but when i try to flash the amonra recovery i got the permission error (i cant really remember). i tried flashing using the adb method but still no luck.
so i went to market and downloaded rom manager and used it to flash clockwork recovery and now i could boot to clockwork recovery.
from this recovery i can now flash any rom i want and although there are still a few more problems i am glad now that i can flash custom roms again.
the problem i can see so far but i can deal with is
1. i don’t think fastboot commands work even if the phone is detected.
2. SD card mounts at USB 1.1 speed. (i have tried different ports and cable but still the same thing and this is the ports i use for my N1, Desire and my other android phones with USB 2.0 speed)
PS: adb commands for pushing and removing apps is working.
Hope this can be helpful to those experiencing the same problem.
Instead of re-installing your entire OS just use usbdeview to remove the failing drivers.
Also remove any old HTC Sync installs and install the latest version.
I've seen an increase in people who have gotten themselves stuck in a bootloop or can't seem to get the combo right to get into download or recovery mode.
Assumptions:
You have the proper drivers installed
Samsung Driver
Your phone is recognized by your PC
Instructions:
Power Phone off
Extract this folder to your computer
Run batch file for Download or Recovery Mode (it waits to see your phone)
Plug phone into computer
Power phone on
Phone should be detected and go into the proper mode
Thx Red_81, again. Glad to see u put this here for the i777. Appreciate u sharing this. It should provide some good help for many users. :thumbup:

So much easier than trying to explain how to install the sdk and then what commands to run. The only problem is you need to have working drivers.

Never mind. I just got it working.
Had to just enter adb command directly. wait-for-device is not working for my phone for some reason.
If you get stuck there again, unplug and plug in the device again.

Thanks i was tinkering with a noria 7" tablet, which hasn't worked right since i got it but for 65 bucks its to be expected, but i used sdk manager to get it to register on my computer as an android adb device and for some reason i tried to turn the wifi on and it crashed and got stuck in a boot loop idk why. like i said hasn't worked right since i bought it. But i did use adb portable like you said to get into recovery mode and it worked great thanks! For other noria users when i figure out how to flash a rom to it i'll start a section here on xda as soon as i figure it out. Thanks again
Any suggestions if ADB doesn't see it?
- Phone was working fine in the morning and at lunch I noticed it was off.
- Try to turn phone back on and it is stuck at the samsung menu like everyone else.
- Soft and hard reset change nothing.
- Neither recovery nor download mode works using every key combo that I've seen suggested.
- Computer detects a device but "USB Device not recognized" and ADB can't see any devices (and I know it is set up correctly as I have the full SDK installed and known to be working).
- Charging still works fine and the battery is now at 100%
- Phone is NOT rooted and has no special apps or any recent changes to change the situation (not even app updates since a few weeks)
I'm not sure what else to do. I will probably let it sit for a few days without a battery, but otherwise I would open it up and see if there is some mechanical/electrical issue like a short or something somewhere. Pretty sure this is a software issue though. Any ideas?

To use ADB you must have USB debugging enabled in settings under Developer Options. If you don't keep this enabled all the time, and it wasn't set when the phone stopped working, then ADB is not an option.
Hopefully, you can get into download mode. For reference, here are the ways I know of, in case you haven't tried something here:
If you can get into download mode, you should flash the stock firmware and then perform a wipe data/factory reset from within stock recovery.
There are several ways to put the phone into download mode. You should try all of them that you can before you give up.
Recovery mode:
With the phone off (and not connected to the computer), and battery installed, hold all three buttons, vol- vol+ pwr continuously until the initial boot screen appears the second time.
Download mode:
1. With the phone off and connected to the computer via USB cable, and battery installed, hold all three buttons, vol- vol+ pwr.
2. With the phone off and battery installed, hold vol- and vol+ (but not pwr) while plugging in the USB cable.
3. With the phone off and battery installed, hold vol- (but not vol+ or pwr) while plugging in the USB cable.
4. Attempt each of the above three options with the battery removed from the phone. The computer will supply the power to the phone.
5. Use Android Debug Bridge (adb) which will only work if USB debugging has been already turned on in Developer Options, since you can't boot into the system to turn it on. With the battery installed and the phone connected to the pc via USB cable, use the command "adb reboot download".
6. Use a USB jig. With the battery installed insert the USB jig into the USB connector of the phone. Some have reported that this method works when no other method would work.

Thanks a ton for the reply. Recovery mode does not work but using your methods I AM able to get it to boot to download mode. If it matters, USB debugging was and should still be enabled.
Now the question is... is there any way to backup the phone from this state or get into a state where I could back it up? I don't really care about my pictures or anything else as those were recently backed up but some app settings would be nice to save (Clash of Clans village without Google+, ugh). I'm going to do more research on the next step myself but if you have any suggestions or information to point me in the right direction I would of course appreciate that as well. Thanks for getting me this far though!

It's pretty difficult to recover information from the data partition when the phone is in a state such as you describe. Maybe the developers and technogeeks can do it. I can't. However, depending on where the game saves it's game data, you may be fine. If the game data is saved to the USB memory (internal sd card) then it will still be there once you flash new firmware. Your pictures should also be fine, since they are on the sdcard.
Hi,
on my P9000 the glass is broken (display working but no touch).
So i want to sell it as it is and do a factory reset - the problem is i can not boot in recovery. When i boot with volume up + power the white elephone logo appears then nothing happens for a while (much much longer than with a normal boot) and then it continues with the normal boot.
The recovery is TWRP.
The volume up button does work as i can see when it is booted, the power button obviously works too.
Can i trigger the reset via USB or do you have any idea how to boot the recovery?

I think you can. But you need "Developer Options" to be turned on for this.
Connect your phone via usb
open a command line
type in
Code:
adb reboot recovery
You should boot into recovery.
...My phone has also a broken display, so I ordered a USB-C otg adapter. I hope I can connect my mouse to the phone and so save my most important data and activate usb mounting.
I think dev options shoulb be on.
But i only get this message: (deleting .android folder does not help and as it is broken i cant check for that confirmation)
C:\>adb reboot recovery
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device unauthorized.
This adbd's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set; try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.

Did this work? As i can not confirm the adb access without Touch this might be a solution for me too.
I am just wondering if a OTG connection would require a confirmation via touch too...

Sorry, I was so happy with my result that I forgot to write this post ^^.
So yes, connecting a mouse with otg works great! (I took this one, but every other should work fine too)
If your phone does not mount the mouse restart your phone and you should be fine.
I was able to run my backup tasks and transfer them to my new phone!
I already ordered extactly the same one
Thank you - the idea with a mouse never crossed my mind...

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
Hello guys.
I have a unique problem here. I have a Redmi Note 10 with a broken black screen. I want to access the phone to be able to backup all my files and if possible to use it with my PC with Vysor or Cast. Because I am still not able to repair the screen right now. And I would also like to have backed up my files before it is repaired.
So I've tried many youtube tutorials to access the phone but it seems none of them can help me because not only can't I see anything on the screen but also I have a very complicated pattern so it is impossible to guess the pattern with a mouse. The screen itself is dead so it doesn't respond to touch.
But I want to believe that I can be able to access my phone because my phone is rooted with Magisk and I'm running a custom rom - Crdroid version 8.9 Android 12. I also have a PC. I am able to get into Crdroid recovery when I press volume up + power button. I am also able to enter into fastboot mode when I press volume down + power button.
I'm stating all this because I want to know if there is any way I can be able to backup my files or access the phone with my laptop. I saw that one can be able to access their phone if Developer Options are turned on. Mine were turned off before the screen broke. Is there any way I can be able to turn them on in my situation?
Please help.
try to boot twrp in fastboot.
fastboot boot twrp.img
i think mtp is activated automatically. problem is if it will ask for the unlock pattern on twrp
Okay

So if I boot into TWRP, the computer will be able to read my files automatically?
i think there is no hope in your state...
complicated screenlock + fully dead screen + developer options turned off
if you had USB Debugging enabled you could use this software to use the phone on the PC like in the picture because i have a phone in the same status like yours but USB Debugging was enabled.
with twrp you can save your internal storage files but it will ask for pattern and you won't be able to access those files without unlocking it.
so i guess the only way is trying to guess the pattern with a mouse... i know that will be really hard but is the only thing i can suggest.
otherwise just take your phone to a repair shop

Okay. I guess I'll just take it to the repair shop then since it's impossible to guess that pattern. Thank you for your reply.
