Hi, I have a Droid 2 global with the Screen piece completely separated from the keyboard and shattered. I've been trying to figure out how to retrieve some files from the internal memory and everything requires USB Debugging to be turned on.
Is there any way to retrieve the data without buying a new digitizer and flex cable?
Thanks so much. I've been scouring the internet and i get all excited when i see a new solution, but when i try it out, nothing works because debugging is off. ugh..
btw, i have 3 android devices and everytime i have an issue, google results send me here.. so thanks also for being there for me all these years

here's the story:
after finding out about Opentrack, a program that allows me to turn my android phone into a headtracking device to play games with, i remembered i had an old motorola atrix that was half broken in a drawer somewhere and thought, maybe if i could revive it i can actually make it into a permanent headtracking device and glue it to some headphones or something.
after charging it up and booting, i discovered there was no way i was going to make it work, the screen is half shattered and the touch only works in some parts of the screen, and motorola's moto blur was making me sign in before i could do anything, and since the touchscreen isnt working on the third row of keys, typing ".com" at the end of any e-mail is impossible.
i've tried a few things:
tried using a usb on-the-go adapter to connect a mouse or keyboard, didnt work, and i did find the old dock the phone came with, which has 3 usb ports at the back, but i didnt find the power cable that came with it, so that didnt work either.
so before i chuck this thing in the garbage, is there any way to bypass this motoblur thing? maybe connecting it to a PC and controling it from there? installing a different ROM on it? i only need it to run the opentrack apk and be connected to my wifi.
i took a few pictures of it but i guess i cant post them.
Background:
my friend has a pantech burst (p9070 at&t) that fell and the screen broke, got it replaced fell again and screen broke again
(Broken meaning no touch no image, its black!)
If i connect it to a pc (when its off (I can't tell when its on or off)) it vibrates and pc recognizes that's it's a pantech android device..
But here is the tricky part, its running ics and usb storage has to be enabled each time its connected to pc. I don't know if the phone has a passcode (if it does I can guess it)
He is not interested in paying for a new screen as its not worth it...
So....
I told my freind that with android you can do anything, and if the files are on the internal storage then it can come off.. My question is, is there a way to have this phone display on my pc (don't have internet on it, usb debugging probably disabled) or with a command line have the phone mount as usb or mtp so I can get the files off??
(I know its possible!!)

Hi guys,
I had Oneplus 6 for the last couple of years (stock recovery, no-root), and the screen shattered last week. since then I bought a new phone, but I can’t extract files from the old device.
The main problem is the MTP options is not checked, as well as USB debugging therefore I don't have access to it with the windows explorer . However, I think the touch is still works (at least at the bottom of it) and beside the screen – the OP6 is fully functional and my PC recognize it.
I tried to enable it via ADB, but the device is not authorized. What can I do to get my vids and pics back?

I guess the question is how broken is your phone? You cannot use adb, I think, until you enable usb debugging in developer options. To enable developer options you need to go to "about the phone" and click on build number like 7 times.
You can try uploading to google drive, or maybe use a bluetooth/maybe even usb mouse
EDIT:
I googled your problem, and this person recommends using an accessibility feature. Maybe this could help?
Hi, i had the same problem and i was going nuts with it. But i found a solution! As long as your digitizer still works, you press both up and down volume buttons at the same time for 3 seconds, and it will activate the talk back mode. You'll have to get used to it, because it's a bit finicky, but once you understand the mechanics of it, you connect your oneplus to a PC, through a USB cable, go to configurations, bluetooth & connections, USB options and select file transfer. Once you do that, you'll have access to your phone internal drive in the computer.
Hope this was helpfull!
Hey and thank you for your answer. Actually it sounds like a decent solution, but pressing the volume buttons did not turn on the talkback mode =\

Uh, that sucks. It only works once the phone is unlocked. So if you did that, made sure that you volume is on, you are not connected to Bluetooth headphones or anything like that then I donno. You might have to convince a local repair shop to give you a loner screen to get your data out for a reduced price or something. Or try clicking blindly in the right spots. Or maybe somebody comes along with a better idea.
Android phones do not support external displays, right?
I don't know about the displays, but I'll go to a lab tomorrow because i ran out of ideas
thank you for your help, I appreciate your time mate :good:
Hi - wondering if anyone out there can think of a solutions to this...
So, my wife cracked her phone screen (Huawai P20) and bought a cheap phone to use short term while we worked out a replacement (Alcatel 1). When setting up the temporary phone, not all of the data from her P20 was install/copied, mainly because there's not enough storage space to hold it all.
Some of the data left on the P20 is really important (downloaded documents/files and pevious whatsapp history), so I was going to hook it up to a PC and grab all the data from it, but the biggest problem is she can't remember the unlock pattern. I know developer mode/USB debugging is not turned on, so I can't even get a PC/ADB to recognise it, plus I've had to connect it to a mouse and monitor (via HDMI/USB adapter) to even view/control the unlock screen.
I'm pretty sure that without the pattern we have little or no options, but was wondering if anyone knew the answers to the following:
Is there any way to unlock the phone using the old PIN that was set (she's confident she knows this)?
Is there a way to unlock using the finger print sensor (even though is says 'pattern required due to restart')
Should ADB list it as a device even though USB debigging is turned off and the phone is screen locked (currently does not list it, but I thought you could PIN unlock via ADB)
Does anyone know any other tools/options for accessiing the files on the phone.
Thanks is advance for any help!
Basically you can access Android's filesystem in ADB-mode or in MTP-mode: the latter should always be possible.
Even if USB Debuging is turned off and the screen is locked? Any tips on how to get the PC to see the device in MTP mode?
Thanks!
My wifey has a Huawei Y7 with HiSuite installed on Windows PC and HDB enabled on phone. As soon as she connects PC with phone over USB, confirms the verification code, phone gets mounted on PC as external USB-drive and thus visible in MTP-mode.
My guess is you have to take your Huawei to authorized service center and let them try to fix it.
Ah Ok. HiSuite asks for USB Debugging to be enabled first, which i can't do because it's locked. Thanks for you help anayway.
I was wondering if there is any way to get files of my mi mix 3 with a broken screen. There is no video and the digitizer might also be broken.
The internals are still fine since it charges, boots and connects to the wifi.
I don't have USB debugging enabled and the fact that my model can't connect to a USB hub to use a monitor and mouse doesn't make this easy.
Are there any options left to get some kind of access to my device without purchasing a replacement screen?
Maybe yes or maybe not. Read first:
