Hello,
I was trying to root my xperia ultra t2 using guide:
amarb.com.np/2014/09/how-to-root-sony-xperia-t2-ultra_28.html
After unlocking the bootloader the USB debugging went off as phone got Reset, i didn't know that . I continued the process without turning on the USB debugging.
I completed properly till this step as flashmode doesn't require USB debugging :-
Turn on your phone, now your phone will show blank black screen, you don't need to worry
Now the phone is not turning on back , phone screen is black I can't proceed to further step as using install.bat required USB debugging on.
The phone is not going to fastboot mode and recovery mode also. It is just in MTP mode with screen black.
Whatever i do (Hold Up key and connect or try to enter recovery it's going to MTP mode only)
FlashTool log :
10/031/2014 23:31:26 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
10/031/2014 23:31:26 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
I can access device SD card and internal storage but adb and fastboot commands are not working .
Please help i want to enable USB debugging.
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

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

I am 99% sure that OTG mouse should work without USB debugging enabled.

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.
I tried to change a broken display on my Xperia Z2 while doing that it seams I fried something since the display is black when I push the start button but if I connect it to the PC it recognizes it as Xperia Z2. The problem is USB debugging is off but I have unlocked the bootloader and I can enter fastboot. Is there any recovery image or recovery kernel with USB debugging on that I can flash to then via adb recover the files and photos on the logic board?
Thanks in advance for the help.

If you can enter fastboot there is no need for USB debugging just flash a kernel that has built in recovery(like elite V3) then reboot the phone to recovery press volume up when LED turned on then connect your phone to PC
MTP is enabled by default on TWRP
I have a Verizon SCH-I435 gx4 mini and I forgot my pin. Android device manager can't help me put it into lost mode and over ride screen lock. The interesting part is when I boot into recovery and go to factory data restore as a last option it says it's in display mode (MTM). The phone boots into Odin mode just fine. On all my phone I always turn on USB debugging which I believe if you have a pc you need to enable to use Odin correct me if I'm wrong. So if there's a way to keep my files safe and use my phone again it would be appreciated.

Let's make Points
1-Odin Doesn't require any USB-Authentication such as Debugging Enabled
2-Only adb Requires Debugging
3-Great Thing you enabled it.
Now you can Apply two ways.
One you can boot into recovery and go into adb.Now on PC install adb and connect it to your phone(Go read a Tuto or watch a Video on how to do it)Now remove the locksettings.db file from /data partition(Use google to find the exact location)
Or you can pull the locksetting.db copy to your PC and crack the code using hashcat.But I recommend the first one.Next Time be cautious and if you don't know how to delete files using adb go read how to.

Hi
Have honor 8 Pro. Screen broken and no display but phone is on only.
Need to take backup.
Adb don't show devices. Can't accept USB debugger
External display via type also don't work.
Mtp is not getting enabled when connect cable
@madroamer
I guess you'll not have any luck, this because USB mode ADB is basically the door to any Android device. Also take note that MTP only works if this USB mode got enabled on Android device.

If your bootloader is unlocked it might help, but this case smells like secure startup and I don't know if is it possible to bypass it by changing the boot, system, etc - whatever...
Used the USB-C to USB adapter from computer and connected a mouse to your phone. When the lock screen of your phone appeared, pit the code to unlock the screen. With this your will unlock the phone and turn on USB sharing.
