Hey Folks,
So I ran over my phone ;P...
Screen is cracked, blank, and doesn't respond to touch. Home button works.
I was able to use a blind keyboard to enable USB Debugging so I could mirror it to another device but I can't authorize my PC as the screen is broken. Any ways to get around this?
Thanks much!

If you can manage to get to recovery, hook it up to your computer and type this into the terminal:
Code:
cd ~/.android && adb push adbkey.pub /data/misc/adb/adb_keys
adb reboot
Hope it works
Well I used a combination of AirDroid and TeamViewer to get it working. Hardest part was getting the keyboard sequence to enabled usb debugging. AirDroid's Screenshot function worked really well to follow along with a keyboard but I need something that remote control the device via wifi to allow authorization and that's were TeamViewer came in. Now I guess i can do anything. As in go buy a new phone.
Hope this helps someone else!

Hi,
My Kindle Fire HDX 7'' fell on the floor and now the screen is broken. I want to buy replacement LCD screen and digitizer, but first I want to be sure the device doesn't have any other damage. When I press the power button, it looks like it turns on. If I press the volume keys I can hear beeps, but the think I'm afraid most is it doesn't connect to my wifi hotspot.
Is there a way I can know the device is still working? I think it didn't had debug enabled, so no adb.
Thanks
Nobody can help me?

Did you try it connect to Pc or notebook? If you can access your internal storage, that should be a good sign, otherwise without adb access, there is a very little you can do (AFAIK).
Hi, thanks for answering.
I connected it to my PC and Windows detected a Fire device, but I can't access internal storage since I enabled the unlock password.
I just want to know the device is not dead, before spending $70 on parts (lcd+digitizer). My main concern is the fact it isn't connecting to my home wifi router as it did before the accident happened. Maybe If I enter fastboot I can see anything from the PC?
Hey xda--
Here's the story: my friend's phone has a broken screen, as in, the screen works, but touch doesn't. So I can see everything fine, but I can't tap on anything.
The ultimate goal is to get a screenshot of a certain thread of SMS messages. It's the only thing she cares about at the moment. I was thinking ADB would be perfect since I can just simulate screen taps, but my PC isn't authorized on her phone for ADB. USB Debugging is enabled, and her phone is actually rooted. But it was rooted by her brother and he lives in a different country.
We can get into her recovery (clockworkmod), but obviously there's no way from there to view SMS messages. Is there any way to simulate screen presses aside from using ADB? Or, is there any way at all to authorize ADB without being able to tap the screen? I can see the prompt come up to authorize my PC, but I just can't tap "Accept".
Hey, I'm currently on the Oneplus One and have never had problems with it. A few weeks ago however, i dropped it with flipcase from 30 cm not really hard or something, no physical damage visible. But at first the touchscreen didn't respond at all and after rebooting, everything worked except for a 2 cm stripe of the lower touchscreen + capacitive buttons.
So i wanted to root it and find options to workaround this issue. But in order to do that, I needed to unlock it and delete all of the userdata + settings, so basically a factory reset. (see android-hilfe (Dot) de/thema/how-to-oneplus-one-rootanleitung-unlock-recovery-rootvorgang-von-a-z.596012/ )
Now I'm pretty much stuck in the cyanogenmod setup (set language etc.) where I can't the option 'Next' due to the broken touchscreen in the lower section (see drive.google (Dot) com/file/d/0BwIC1YNaC4EMTEdOaHYycU15T0U/view?usp=sharing )
It's really a stupid reason why I can't continue and because of that, I can't enable USB Debugging and, of course, adb. Fastboot is enabled, TWRP is installed. Any way to bypass the setup or enable USB debugging from the PC (that wouldn't really solve the CM setup issue though)
Thanks for the help!
Maybe an easier solution: Get a USB OTG cable and use a mouse and/or keyboard to get through the set up. Once you do, you can use something like LMT Launcher (my favorite) and set it up to activate from a side swipe and you'll be able to get around the phone decently.

Is it possible to control the phone without USB debugging activated?

Omg thank you, I was really frustrated but it worked!
Glad to be of service!
Hey.
Short description: My Oneplus 3's LCD was destroyed to atoms. I'm trying to use Vysor to control the phone through my computer. I actually have USB debugging already enabled from developer options, but that is not enough, as the computer's MAC address needs to be "allowed" for debugging through a prompt that appears on my phone's notifications. Any idea how to do this?
A bit longer description of how I know that the MAC needs to be allowed through a prompt: The LCD broke during two days. First I saw partially what's on the screen, so I was able to enable USB debugging and install Vysor. It worked for these two days, but once a day I needed to allow my computer's MAC for USB debugging through the notifications of my Oneplus 3. Now I cannot do it anymore, as the screen has gone pitch black. Also, ADB says that the phone is offline / it cannot be debugged at the moment. I wish I knew the exact location of the prompt so I could just allow it, since the touch screen still works... There must be another way.
If the touchscreen still works you could just try to hit the button blindly, it's not like missing would be an issue, right?
I tried hitting the prompt blindly, but it's either not there or I already opened it and pressed "decline" which made it go away. :/
Greetings fellow techno-wizards! Got a big problem that I'm hoping you can help me with.
Long story short, my trusty Pixel 2 had one too many drops, now the screen won't turn on and won't respond to touch. The logic board is operating, and I haven't rebooted since then, so I can unlock with the fingerprint sensor.
I plan on getting an Pixel 5 when it releases, and have an LTE Tablet to limp along until then.
My biggest problem is authenticators on my phone that I may or maynot have the backup QR code for, as well as many other things I'd like to get off the phone before I retire it.
I have the following things at my disposal:
Pixel 2, with USB Debugging turned on, and recently trusted the PC. No screen, no touchscreen.
WearOS watch paired to phone (can get notifications and texts)
Bluetooth Mouse
Wired mouse with USB to USB C adapter
Chromecast
Win PC with Scrcpy installed, already tried to use it to show the screen on the PC, I'm guessing its been too long and I have to press a notification to trust the PC.
The Goal:
To cast the screen to a chromecast and pair a bluetooth mouse, and/or get Scrcpy working by accepting the dialog that I can't see. This would allow me to use the migrate tool to the new phone I will eventually get.
I tried long ago to use a USB C to HDMI adapter, that doesn't work. Google wants you to use a Chromecast for such things (Thanks a ton Google )
The thing I need to figure out next is how to use ADB to force the phone to start casting to a Chromecast, or to remotely accept the dialog. The wired mouse with adapter should work to control the phone instead of the touchscreen, but without any video out, I'm clicking blindly. The microphones are working, but I've never tried to command the assistant to start casting before.
Can anyone suggest the next step I should try?
Just had a thought, there are accessibility features for blind people that would let them use the screen without seeing it. Is there any ADB command to enable these features? If I plug in a keyboard, is there a keystroke combination to turn them on?

Since you say ADB is enabled on the phone you should be able to pull out by means of ADB-driver the data in mind to your Windows computer.
