After installing the latest update of Marshmallow (6.0.1) on my Nexus 7 (2013 Edition) the touch functionality got totally broken. I am not able to do nothing using the touchscreen so I can not access UI to enable developer options and then allow USB connection. Is there any way I can allow this option using a command line? I have tried everything, I restarted to bootloader , I went to recovery mode and delete cache and also reset to factory settings. And the touch functionality keeps broken. I need to remove marshmallow and go to a previous version but for doing that I need to be able to allow the usb access to my nexus without using the UI.
I will appreciate any thought.
Thanks!!

install the latest twrp via bootloader, go to recovery, twrp should have usb access you may need to plug in to your comp then in twrp reboot to recovery and your pc should show your device. as for enabling it via command IDK
also search xda "how to control device with broken screen" may help

i messed up. i had cwm recovery rom running, but i did not install it. then i installed cyanogenmod. now recovery is cyanogenmod, but i want it to be cwm recovery. im stuck i dont know how to do what i want.
when i boot into recovery, i get cyanogenmod. adb and fastboot commands do not seem to be working. like i cant switch to fastboot via adb reboot bootloader. (no laughing please... is that because i flashed the custom rom???)
google play is not installed yet either because adb and fastboot isnt working like it was before i flashed cyanogenmod. i was going to try to download the cwm rom manager again to help me install (permanently) cwm recovery rom.
im so lost and a noobie, so details for replies please. and thank you for the help.
Its hard to give details in replies without details in your question, please give as much information about your device as possible, especially the make and model
But generally speaking fastboot will only work in bootloader and adb will only work in os and recovery mode
To give more specific answers on what your steps should be please give more device specifics

I don't believe cyanogen has made a recovery since the g1 days so I doubt you have this. But if your not sure what recovery you have upload a pic of it.
If you want a new recovery download the appropriate recovery for your device and use fastboot to install it, see here for help

I BET THATS IT! i installed the custom rom, so debugging needs to be turned back on. the setting was overwritten with the new rom flash. duh! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
for those of you coming to this thread after me, enable developer mode by going to Settings > About Phone and tapping on Build Number 7
Update: this did solve my problem/question. also watch cyanogenmod's screen. it will ask you to confirm debugging mode use each time or you can say its ok from this pc all the time. the latter worked best for me. another thing i ran into was phone would not power off unless i unplugged the usb cable. if i asked it to power off with the usb cable plugged in, it rebooted instead.

here's how i resolved my complete question:
1) enabled developer mode by going to Settings > About Phone and tapping on Build Number 7
2) activated advanced boot options by going to Settings > Developer Options > Advanced reboot (check it)
3) told phone to always allow debugging mode from my/this pc
4) booted into fastboot mode
5) plugged in usb cable
6) entered the command "adb reboot-bootloader" to switch to fastboot mode
7) entered the command "fastboot devices" to ensure i was in fastboot mode
8) entered the command "mfastboot flash recovery <downloaded.img>" to flash cwm
9) unplugged usb cable
10) reboot into recovery to verify flash was successful

Thanks for your reply.. Here is what i tried and it worked the other day.. I reinstalled fastboot application on pc and installed drivers again and connected my device. My device got detected once i reinstalled fastboot in adb fastboot devices. Then i updated my recovery to some updated twrp version.. Now i was able to install rom via usb storage which i was not able to do previously..
Thank god i almost thought that this phone is a piece of junk now..
Thanks for your reply anyways..
Hi XDA Community,
I have been a silent reader and user of many custom roms but now I can't solve my problem alone, I have to admit. My current device is a redmi note 3 and I am using it for about a year now. Today the phone went into a bootloop itself and I can't bring it back.
It runs the CM 14.1 kenzo and got xposed and xprivacy installed.
The problem is caused by xposed (very sure) but unfortunately every solution I tried failed.
-My plan was to flash the xposed disabler.zip using TWRP 3.0.2-2 but that won't let me get to main menu. Its stuck at the twrp boot screen. (Any ideas why? Maybe weak battery)
-The next I tried was entering fastboot and flash it this way, but it seems like usb debugging is disabled. (Is there a chance to enabled USB debugging without beeing able to boot?)
-Next I tried was to enter edl mode and flash twrp again using miflash but that gave me the error "unable to communicate on port COM10"
So now I really don't know what to do to disable the xposed moduls and boot again.
I guess possible was would be to enable usb debugging or find out why twrp won't boot or flash that disabler zip in odin. But let me know what ideas you have.
Thanks for your help guys

xposed is not supported on android 7 roms, please dont try that again.
i would suggest that if fastboot is accessible you should use miflash to starover with miui.
if you can access fastboot mode and your device is officially unlocked then try to boot into twrp using fastboot boot <name of the recovery>.img
or you can try flash with mitools (USB debugging is not needed for flashing ). you can use the deep flash cable to flash your device in edl mode
Follow this guide http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html

If you can boot into bootloader, you can fastboot flash the images from https://developers.google.com/android/images (or just try running the entire N9F27N script) from your fastboot folder in cmd prompt or the Mac equivalent if you use Apple.

usb-debug is not enabled.
the thing is , when i rooted i got locked out then i factory reseted it , but it still is in bootloop,
i am unable to connect with device this is what i see when run the script ,
the cmd prompet say "<waiting for device >"
does it ever happened to anyone , getting locked without getting developer mode > usb-debug enabled , and then flashing factory rom ?
Can you still access TWRP, if it was already on the device.
Flash any custom rom, enable the option and flash stock again (if you want).
If it is stock recovery, sideload an OTA image instead.
https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Manually boot recovery and you shouldn't need usb-debug enabled, I hope.
A bit of research and it is required unfortunately
Edit: You don't need usb-debugging for fastboot flashing.
Also Nexus Root Toolkit might prove helpful to setup drivers on your pc and restore your device to working order.
^^^ It is out of date software, so hesitant to recommend it.

Boot to bootloader and use fastboot commands. Fastboot flash system system.img
Etc.
Use the files extracted from factory image.

I've definitely had this experience. You can try disconnecting the cable then reconnecting. When that doesn't work, you have to remove all the drivers or at least run through "updating" the Android drivers in hardware settings. You won't actually be updating drivers just re-installing from the PC. Wug's toolkit mentioned above may be your best choice if you don't have TWRP. The toolkit will provide you with an exe called usbdeview which enables driver removal. I didn't mention an OTA sideload because I thought you did need ADB for that. If you can get PC to recognize the device in cmd, then you can fastboot flash images.

I have an Android device supplied by my government for students and secured by Samsung Knox. However & unfortunately, I forgot the security pattern of the device and I want to hard reset it to access it again. But Knox prevents factory reset by all the ways :/
I have tried entering the pattern in a wrong way 20+ times but it still refuses to achieve a factory reset. I have also tried booting into Android recovery but the factory reset option says MDM disallows factory reset.
Also Google's Find My Device can't even detect the device so I can't reset it using Google's Find My Device. And developer options are disabled by Knox too so I can't do it using adb
I know that I have made it complex but its the truth and I was wondering if someone knows any way or PC tool to hard reset without USB debugging, or a PC tool that can enable USB debugging.
I don't want to flash ROMs because they will erase Knox which I shouldn't erase :/
Any help would be appreciated.

I can enter "safe mode" but even there the tablet ask me for the password I haven't got in order to switch off the flight mode that prevents any attempt to locate the smartphone from the Samsung remote service.
Secured Knox prevents hard reset.
No password + flight mode on => Do I throw an almost new device to the bin?
There should be a way, I cannot imagine there is not way around this.

the device is ignoring me completely and boot normally into android
I need to flash another official firmware.
pleeeeeeease , can anyone give me a working method to flash that firmware.
Thanx in advance
you are forced to go to a samsung outlet to apply for a warranty
Anyone find a solution to this?
Update for posterity. I did find a way around this. You essentially have to re-flash your device - which isn't difficult, but it will result in losing all data on the device.
1. Enter download mode by holding vol+, vol- & power keys while plugging in your phone via USB to your computer (windows machines only). This must be done from a powered off status.
2. Download Odin
3. Download OEM firmware for your device (Samfirm or Firja tools can help with this)
4. Download Samsung USB drivers
5. With all of these tools and with your firmware obtained, go into download mode and flash your device.
6. Once complete, the device will format itself (you will lose all data) and boot into initial configuration mode where you can set up you device as if it were new.

This procedure didn't work for me.
In order to factory reset, before flashing the stock firmware/ROM, I had to flash the TWRP and wipe everything.
Followed this procedure for my galaxy tab:
[RECOVERY] TWRP 2.8.3.0 for Galaxy Tab 4 8 inch
Support is discontinued. Between the 6 different variants that I made this recovery for, it has been downloaded less than 500 times total over a 2 month period. That tells me that this device is simply not popular enough for continued support...
forum.xda-developers.com
It worked fine. Once wiped through recovery TWRP, I flashed the stock ROM and everything was fine and factory reset.
Unfortunately before starting I tried an auto root procedure but Knox recognized and locked everything (so the counter now is 0x1).

The first recommendation did not work for me, too. After the tab reboots, it says its installing the updates but up to 32% only, then it erases, then it goes back to the same problem.
Tried your quoted solution. However, upon installing twrp, it says it cant install because of frp lock. How do i go about it? Please help....
