Nexus 5 - Screen shattered, need to enable USB debugging - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I shattered the screen on my N5. I need to pull off some valuable information, however I never enabled USB debugging.
I was reading there is a way to sideload a ROM with the USB debugging option ticked.
Also: The only way I can tell my phone works is that there is still a small vibe when I hold the power button.
So far I have downloaded Android Studio to get started trying to access my phone. Need some advice. Thanks,
jonny

There's a general guide about adb: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/noob-read-adb-fastboot-how-hep-t2807273
BTW you do not need Android Studio.

[Q] Need Debug on, but screen and power button broken, device still on and working

Hi guys!
I brooke the screen and touch of my razr hd, as well its power button.
I'm trying to acess its screen trough the pc using a tool from the forum. BUT I need to have the usb debbuging enabled, wich I don't have.
So, I need to enable it from de pc somehow.
The device is working properly, the pc recognizes it and allows me to deal with its files, the device is turned on and is rooted already.
Someone have any idea of how to enable the usb debugging with the touch and without entering in recovery or fastbootmode?
The only two things I know I can do with it for now is to reset or turn it off trough a command in cerberus.

There's a lot of info out there on this. Various way to recover. Maybe try this:

All the info in this 2 tutorials and in other I've found, in some how, ask me to use the buttons to acess fastboot mode or recovery mode, but as I said, they are broken.
I was hoping to find some comand lines via pc and with the device still on to put it to recovery or fastboot mode, cause then I can use adb or fastboot to enable usb debugging.... But, I still don't know how...

[Q] My Nexus 5 screen broke

Well, it happened
I was sitting on a bench and somehow my phone found a way to slide between my fingers and crash. (I must note that it dropped on the bench, which was like 10 cm max fall).
Anyway, I came home, plugged it into my computer and miraculously the phone works even though the screen is all crashed/pixelated/non-responsive.
Is there a way to control my phone with my computer? Like viewing everything on the computer itself?
There are some programs that I need to backup my files there in order to use them on my other phone.
Thanks!

Already tried it.
I can't see if I got into the recovery mode and cmd does not recognize what "adb shell" is.
Even if I somehow reach it (and I'm not sure if I really did) then on windows it gives me an error qhsusb_bulk (driver not found).

If you're seeing qhsusb_bulk in Windows there's more wrong with the phone than just the screen unfortunately. I think we're going to have to move your thread into the Nexus section so the Nexus experts can lend a hand. Please standby while we have your thread moved.
Good luck!

I finally managed to get into recovery mode. It seems like the "qhsusb_bulk" error is gone.
I tried using the adb shell but it doesn't recognize my phone even though device manager sees it perfectly fine.
Any help?
Maybe there is a chance that USB debugging is enabled so I just waste my time, how can I check?

Does the "adb devices" command return your serial number?

Nope, that's the problem I'm facing currently.
It just gives me an error "device not found".
There could be many reasons for that. Unfortunately I'm not terribly experienced with this phone so we'll need to wait for one of the Nexus experts to come and lend a hand.

Please Google "15 second adb installer". Use that to install adb drivers. Then open a command prompt. Make sure you navigate to where adb gets installed (usually in program files) then adb device
Edit: To check Developer Settings go to Settings then About phone. Tap your build number 7 times. This will enable developer options in settings. Turn on developer mode there.

Ummm that's kind of hard to do with a shattered display.
OP Just follow sandmans advice to get the drivers right and you'll be able to follow the tools instructions you're trying to use to enable USB debugging. If you just want your data off you could also just use:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard
Is your Bootloader unlocked?
If USB debugging is not enabled in Android and you can not enable it in android due to unreadable screen,
Your only option is to ADB shell from custom recovery such as TWRP.
You can only boot into custom recovery if your bootloader is already UNLOCKED.

Not really. There are some tools out there that let you view and control your screen on a PC.

Yes there are. The OP is trying to use one of them. He has a broken screen and is unable to use the screen on the device. He does not have USB Debug enabled. To use the program to mirror screen you need USB Debug enabled. See the catch-22 there? His only hope is to enable it via recovery and ADB. But as @joegestes points out if he's not already unlocked he needs to unlock for that. Unlocking wipes the phone. Another catch-22.

s6 not connecting to windows

Hi all, I have been having a problem for the longest time now. My s6 refuses to connect to any pc. My first laptop had windows 7 on it and the s6 would successfully connect to it. That laptop is no more and i upgraded to a new one with win 10 installed on it. This laptop along with 2 others windows 7 completely refuses to connect to my phone. I think i have tried every "solution" but nothing works. My phone is rooted with a custom rom and the fast charge also refuses to work. I need to be able to connect to windows so i can reinstall the original firmware for a warranty exchange. Yes, i have all sumsung drivers installed, i have the original cable (and more), i tried smart switch, it still doesn't work. Any tips will be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Go to: Settings -> About Phone -> Tap on the build number 7 times to enable Developer Options -> Go to Developer Options and enable USB-Debugging
Now try connecting it to your PC

bump..
can someone please help me sort this out? I have tried numerous methods to get the phone to connect, all of which has been unsuccessful. Everyone knows the struggle of not being able to connect to windows.. thanks in advance.
The problem could be the USB port on the phone. Or the data / charging cable may be faulty.
Try download Shortcut master lite from playstore, run secret code explorer in it, then code 0808, and set AP and MTP+ADB to see phone as disk in windows, this helped me, hope it will help you.

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.

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.
