I need help with trying to transfer files to my computer with a Galaxy S7 that has no display or touchscreen activity. No USB sharing isnt enabled. (I know I know) Any help would be greatly appreciated. everything backed up to my google drive but my documents. Again please help!
I assume USB debugging is disabled too?
You might be able to plug in a mouse over the USB port so you can create some input. Not sure if the same would work for a display though. If you can manage to unlock with your mouse somehow you also should be able to access your data over USB as the phone isn't locked anymore. If you really can't manage to unlock the device without a screen, maybe you can remove the lock through find my device? Not sure though.
So if you manage to unlock the phone without a screen you should be fine

Hi,
I was wondering about the security of my prime (and android ICS in general)...
First of all, I have it screen lock password protected. However, I might be missing something trivial here, but I can still access all the information on the device by just connecting to a PC via the USB port.
I want to be able to connect my tablet (as a storage device using MTP in the options) to a PC via the USB port, but I also would like some protection...
So my questions are:
1) Can I protect access to my USB with a password?
2) If I choose to completely encrypt my prime (via the FDE settings option). Is it still possible to easily access data by connecting the tablet via the USB port to a PC? Also with password protection?
3) What partitions are really encrypted using FDE?
Some background info:
- FDE (full disk encryption) in Android (since Honeycomb) only encrypts /data by default, but this is manufacturer dependent:

- E-mail passwords are stored as plain text in /data/system/accounts.db:

you should not be able to see anything via usb untill you type the pin or password on your device . once it is unlocked you will have access via usb for the remainder of the time it is plugged in. that is how it work for both my prime and my galaxy nexus

I stand corrected. It works that way, when USB debugging is turned off...
I am on the forum for a while but this is my first post.
So my situation is the following.
My S3 display broke and the touchscreen with it. I want to know would it be possible to add a bluetooth keyboard with integrated mouse (a Logitech Mediaboard pro) by editing the settings files on the pc and than transferring it to the smartphone?
The phone is rooted, without adb and with usb deubugging disabled but somehow i manage to get Odin detect the phone.
So I thought of editing a recovery.img from the SGS3 Toolkit recovry folder so that when i flash the phone it is already paired with the keyboard.
But I have no knowledge how to do this and a bit of help would be more than apreciated as well as any other method to achieve the above mentioned.
I thought connecting a keyboard and than to tv so i can use it untill i get a new display.
My smartphone model is:
Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 with PDA:LIB, PHONE:LIB, CSC:LI1 (read from kies)
no. buy an OTG adapter and connect a usb mouse. won't be able to hook up video though
Hi,
My Vodafone's 785 screen cracked and I can't use it anymore, but I found an application which could help me to backup my files. But I can't use it, because I need USB debugging to be enabled. Any way to do that from computer ?
Thanks.

no, not possible. I'm moving this to the general help forums.
Hello and thanks in advance for any help you can give me. As the tittle states I have a kindle fire HDX 8.9 WiFi and the screen is broken so I am unable to access the device and when I plug it into a Windows computer nothing happens (don't see it pop up in device manager or anything). Is there any way to retrieve the data? It is turned on as I can see it show up as a Bluetooth device when I scan from my phone but it will not connect as I can't use the touchscreen etc.. I bought another same device and wanted to transfer my old pictures and such over. Thanks again!

Unfortunately, 'no' if Windows does not respond when the device is attached. You may want to try connecting to a different Windows (or OS X) machine to confirm. Also try switching cables and plugging into different usb ports; avoid external USB hubs and USB3 ports on older machines. ADB (ie: line mode commands) is an alternate method but the lack of any response from Windows suggests you probably did not enable 'USB Debugging' from the Kindle settings menu when it was still working.
Hi,
Seemingly some Samsung S6s (mine is T-Mobile) do not permit OTG, I have tested the OTG cable and mouse with another Android device.
I have also tried using adb to pull data from my phone, but the only option there seems to be adb sideload as per this thread
Looking for ways to get into my phone to enable USB debugging, or just to use a mouse or keyboard so I can check my texts and backup my photos etc before trying to fix the screen
Any ideas on other method of getting into my phone?
Three Ways for you
1-Get another model of the same Mobile.Flash the Cwm Recovery on it.Backup the Firmware and Restore on Broken Device.Now Make a Simple Script to move all you files and Voila.
2-Get the screen Fixed.I am pretty Sure they Won't smash your data
3-**** it.Buy another phone.
