if your phone is already Debugging enabled just plug it into your computer, then use the android sdk to do a adb pull on any files you want.
Or you may be able to use HDMI output to a monitor and have complete touch screen control. Connecting to a computer should give you file transfer capability

If usb debugging is enabled and you have a Windows pc, you can try another tool created by an xda member. Here's the link:

can access phone in PTP but not MTP

hey guys
not really sure what the hell is wrong
i finished rooting an unlocking my pohne with WugFresh - and obviously doing the first driver steps means my drivers are functional.
when i connect my phone to my pc (win7) nothing comes up while its on MTP, first time i chose MTP it installed drivers but there is no popup window on my PC to choose an action, nor can i see the phones SD on my computer.
if i switch to camera mode (PTP) i instnatly get the Autoplay menu and can access two folders DCIM and Pictures.
i tried:
doing the initial installation (and uninstallation) of drivers in WUG a few times
turning MTP/PTP on off
turning usb debut on/off
plugging to another pc - WORKED INSTANTLY
so why wont my dumb PC be able to do this?

no dice.
Keep it on an then try , may one restart will help but keep debugging on
Try manually uninstalling the drivers from device manager and reboot both phone and computer. Connect in ptp then switch to mtp

Oh, I had this problem before. You can connect a mouse to your phone, and use that to control your phone. Just buy a micro usb to usb cable adapter, and connect a usb mouse to it.

Does your phone has been rooted?
If yes, adb shell into your phone as root and dump out all the partiotions on the phone on your SD card and then finally pull them out.
All the partitons can be seen with "ls -l /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name".
If your phone has not been rooted then try to have the SuperU boot.img and boot with to gain root privillege and dump all the partitions out as describe above. ( ATTENTION, I said BOOT with and NOT FLASH it)
Good luck
Cheer.
I was able to reboot in recovery by using key combo and clear the security key thru adb. With that, I have taken backup using titanium backup thru VNC client

access my broken screen phone lineage OS

I have an LG g3 with the latest lineage OS, unfortunately the screen broke and I can't interact with it. I saw an app called vyzor but I can't install it, wifi closed, no touch, and I can't ring how to install an app using adb in twrp. The usb is enabled but the device is in "charging mode" and not mpt so I can't use adb while the device is open. How should I tackle that problem?
Ps: I can't find a single store with otg USB in order to use my pc's mouse

Assuming that you've got USB debug enabled you can use PC using a tool found on our beloved forums, not sure if it works on your phone,but it's worth a try
!!The method to enable USB debug is included in thread!!
PS: no need to be in side load to enable USB debug if you want to need just a custom recovery.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 remotely enable USB debugging (broken screen)

Greetings.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with a completely broken screen (no display, no touch response).
Android version is 4.2.2.
The phone is working, as pressing the power button lights up the bottom bar.
The phone is rooted, however, USB debugging is disabled. The phone is also pattern locked.
I am aiming to gain remote access to the phone through my PC, ideally mirroring the screen so I can manually backup everything from my phone. In the worst case, backup through ADB is also acceptable.
Initially, I attempted to mirror the screen using:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395
However, it requires ADB, which in turn requires USB debugging to be enabled.
To enable USB debugging, I attempted to modify the build.prop through ADB shell in recovery mode:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335799
However, it is done so using custom recovery (TWRP) which I assume cannot be done in stock recovery (not confirmed, please respond if untrue).
I attempted to edit the build.prop manually:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g4/themes-apps/tool-edit-build-prop-pc-t3312517
But It requires USB debugging to be enabled as well, and I assume it to be true for most such tools.
I also attempted to install a custom recovery (TWRP):
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
However, out of the 3 installation methods listed, 2 require USB debugging and 1 requires application installation on the phone.
Using a USB OTG mouse to enable USB debugging would be difficult, since display is broken.
Since 4.2+ also shows a prompt to allow access to USB debugging to PCs, I assume I could use this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/bypass-secure-usb-debugging-prompt-t2965462
However, I would need ADB first, which also comes back to USB debugging.
I would prefer not repairing the phone or getting a new screen, the phone is old, i'm trying to change phones.
Data in the phone must be preserved, as much as possible. I am willing to compromise, somewhat.
ADB seems powerful enough that I could achieve my goals if only I could access my phone through it.
Is it possible to enable USB debugging remotely through some other method to allow me to use ADB?
Is it possible to flash a custom rom with an edited build.prop without screen input and while preserving phone data?
Please suggest options.

Android file transfer using a USB cable

Hi,
For some reason I can no longer transfer files from my Android device to my Linux PC using Android File Transfer.
I can list the device:
sudo adb devices -l
List of devices attached
????????? device usb:1-4 product:OnePlus5T model:ONEPLUS_A5010 device:OnePlus5T transport_id:2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but Andorid File Transfer (version 4.2) wouldn't start with this phone. When I attach an older phone (Nexus 4) all is fine and I can transfer files without problem.
USB Debugging is enabled on the device.
On USB Preferences File Transfer is selected. Other options are USB tethering, MIDI, PTP, No data transfer.
Any help will be appreciated.
Update: problem solved - had to use root privilidges
Try another cable. Cliché but it's often the culprit. When you get the USB mode popup just cancel it and it'll decide on its own. Disable USB debugging as it doesn't need to be on. Try other USB ports, or the last one it was known working on. Failing that see if there's a proprietary software. Microsoft Your Phone Companion might help..
