[Q] Broken screen, need to change fw and never enabled usb debug

Hi
my brother gave me his tf300t.
Here is the status
-the broken screen is a 8185n
-he never enabled the usb debug mode in the past
-he never connected to a pc
So I found a link that explain how to use screen vers G01 in place of a 8185n.
The starting point is a adb connection.
Anyway, since I cannot use the touch I don't know how to obtain result with "adb device" command.
I removed the drivers and reinstalled from scratch the android sdk together with adb.
But device is not listed.
I can only reboot the device. I tried to put in fastboot mode (volume down during reboot) but again adb doesn't recognize it.
How can I force the adb recognition to start the cwm installation etc etc ?
Thanks
Angelo

Have you tried connecting a USB mouse? Bit of a simple suggestion but could work. That's assuming the screen actually turns on

Broken Screen, how to get to my files? Need an android expert!

Hello everybody,
I know there are many threads with broken screens and so on, but I've been searching the internet the whole day & night and tried nearly every solution.
My Smartphone fell on the ground two days ago, I can see everything, but touch isn't working anymore.
Usually I'm rooting my phones but i didn't root my XZ5 so far (big mistake!), so I don't have a custom recovery.
I have USB Debugging activated, but I haven't connected my phone since it updated to the new firmware, so I'm getting RSA Fingerprint Message which I can't allow.
After my Z5 fell on the ground, the fingerprint didn't work so I had to restart my phone - now I'm forced to enter the key to unlock the system.
At first, I tried "Android Control" with adb, but when I connect my phone, adb says "unauthorized" - no remote control possible.
After that, I bought a OTG Cable and plugged in a mouse. This isn't working, because I have to search for a plugged-in USB device first in the settings (the phone doesn't recognize the USB device itself).
Fastboot & Flash Mode are still working.
Is there a possibility to skip RSA Fingerprint with USB debugging or deleting my lock screen? I thought of unlocking my bl and installing TWRP, but then the mobilephone would be wiped as far as I know.
Maybe someone of you knows a "temporary recovery" which can be booted from SD-Card or another way to get to my internal data..
It would be awesome, if someone could help me with this!
Many thanks in advance!

Only way i can think of are to downgrade to lollipop with flashtool without wipe.
Then the usb mouse should start to work directly if im not mistaken.
Atleast i think it was this they before mm upgrade.
Did you try to boot the phone with the mouse connected?

yes, unlocking would completely wipe your phone, including internal memory so it's not a solution.
Rsa key request means you cannot run any adb command right, included adb shell right?
Did you try to do an extensive google search with "broken screen rsa"?
Particularly, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...b-rsa-key-with-broken-touch-screen-on-android
talks about rebooting in "recovery mode", so you could try to use adb commands in fastboot mode (or download mode)

So I recovered my password from the dust and figured this is my chance to help..
Better be working..
I dropped my z3c while I was holding my newborn baby, it contained all the pictures from birth, ****ing fool I am for not backing up..
Get that short '.. to usb' - thing from the box. Use that to connect your Bluetooth mouse and tada that should work. Use it to unlock your phone and do you what you want to do.
It worked for me, hope I can help you.

Recover Data Broken Screen

Hello all.
Unfortunately I dropped my phone last week which result in a broken screen (Glass got broken, as well as the lcd, black screen, touch works sometimes). Now I'm sitting here, trying to recover all my important data.
First guides you find on the internet are about some Backup Software for windows. Just connect your phone and youre ready to go.
(Almost, as you need to verify the connection or have to have adb/ usb debugging enabled, which I don't unfortunately.)
So those things about adb backup do not work aswell.
I do have a custom rom installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/update-to-marshmallow-t3399953.
Does this custom rom install a recovery? I tried booting into recovery like 100 times by pressing volume down as well as the power button. But without any optical feedback this is hard and I'm not 100% sure if it is even installed.
If not, wouldn't it be an option to install twrp or cwm? Is this possible without usb debugging enabled? I've managed to do this on samsung devices, even without adb through odin, while connecting the device in download mode. Is there something similar for LG?
I think if I get to manage to enable usb debugging it would work perfectly fine, I would be able to backup won't I?
Last thing I would try is buying an slim port to hdmi adapter, connect to pc and verify the connection to the backup software using an hdmi monitor. I think this would work, but maybe theres some way I overlooked which don't need me to buy this adapter.
Thanks for your Help,
Whitz

Unfortunately the Device won't show up when executing "adb devices".
Maybe because the device isnt unlocked at time of being?
The Device isnt recognized by the Computer either, so maybe the connection is unfortunately set on "Only Provide Power" or whatever this mode is called in english
Any further tips?

Broken Screen

Hello guys, my phone dropped today and half of the screen is not working anymore. Also the touch does not seem to work. The problem is I just want to copy my photos to my computer but i cant because of the phone is locked and it needs a pattern password to unlock. Is there anyway without replacing the screen to copy my photos or unlock the phone. Thank you.

Hi,
You can plug an OTG cable and plug in a mouse to work around the touch screen issue. Other possibility is trying to boot in recovery mode to manage the files via USB, though I'm not sure if it would allow you to access internal data using adb or not.
All the best,

Hey i do have the USB OTG and i plugged in a mouse to try to enable the adb debugging but the problem is that i can't see the screen so i am working blindly and trying to 'guess' where i should click.
The thing is i can unlock my phone with the fingerprint, but when i connect it to the computer the files do not show, i believe there is a button i have to click to enable MTP ?
I really can't believe its that hard to copy some files from my phone just because the screen is black

Hi,
Yes there is a button to enable MTP and it is in fact hard to enable it without looking at the screen. Have you tried booting in Recovery to access your files?
All the best,

How to authorize USB debugging with a dead screen?

Hi,
I dropped my Pixel 1 too many times tonight, and the screen died. The phone is still functional, and I would like to be able to mirror it on my PC using Vysor, but for some reason, it seems to have lost the USB debugging rights, as adb devices shows "unauthorized".
Is there any way I can authorize USB debugging so that I can access my device via adb and mirror the screen?
Thanks.

Not sure, but doesn't the device automatically goes into Debugging Mode when entered into recovery mode? I think at least you can access the internal storage then. Not sure if it works, but you can give it a shot and report here.

Thanks for the reply. That might be my last resort. However, while I'm still able to unlock my device with my fingerprint, I'd like to exhaust all my options to gain remote access to my phone via a connected PC, if possible.
Once I reboot, without a working touchscreen, my options would be much more limited since I won't be able to unlock my device.
