Issues with Android Control - General Questions and Answers

I'm trying to get AndroidControl working, because my screen and digitalizer is broken on my XT907. The issue I'm running into, is that AndroidControl never recognizes the device.
Running through the cmd, adb devices doesn't list it, so it's not picking it up. I understand that adb must be enabled on the phone, but can't find a way to do this, since the screen is broken. Every fix or workaround involves some other program or action that requires seeing the screen or having touchscreen capabilities, which I obviously don't have.
Is there anything I can do to get this taken care of ? Neither my roommate nor I can find anything that works. Please help!

[Q] Starting ADB without having a screen?

So here is my problem everyone. I have a Tablet that I would like to get a replacement screen for, but as of right now don't have the money to do so.
But, I would still like to use it, using a remote control app, from my PC. To get it setup, see the specs, etc.
BUT where the screen is broken, and I've never logged into it, I cannot install any apps just straight off the web.
So my question/thoughts are, I need to start ADB without being able to see at all on the screen some how. Then from there I can figure out myself how to push .apk files over using that, install a remote control app, and the root it, and get it all nice and setup
BUT I don't know if it's possible to start ADB without being able to see, although the touch sensor is still working even though the screen is cracked.
Any help?

[Completed] Screen inaccessible(no display) usb debug disabled cmd help

Nexus 5 running 5.1 stock
I had recently and sadly had an accident with my phone where the screen is completely useless. Shattered is a harsh word, but it's sitting in that condition. It does however still turn on. There are parts of the screen that display, but for some odd reason, its completely mirrored and upside down.
I have Android tools and drivers installed. And knowing something like this might happen, I had USB debugging enabled. BUT, for even stranger reasons, I'm guessing it's disabled because through cmd on platform-tools, it says it's unauthorized. Though the little window of display my phone pushes, I'm guessing I'm getting a dialog asking for USB debugging to be enabled. I'm not too sure how I got to this window, but it randomly appears on restarts of the device, and half the time, it just restarts normally like any restart.
I was wondering if there was a way I can push a command line using cmd on my PC to accept or continue from the dialog box that I literally can't see.
I looked far and wide on Google and this beloved website, but am having a hard time finding a solution.
The device is bootload unlocked, running stock on Lollipop.
I do not know if rooting and installing TWP will affect my data, as it is the only thing I really don't want to lose. I wish to keep stock as I am completely fine with it and I have tried custom Roms, but I still wish to continue using stock.
I'm not too familiar with some words used in explanations on this site, so please respond as if I'm 7 years old :silly:
My initial goal was to (while having usb debug enabled) fastboot (i think i'm using the right term) Mobizen, then mirror the screen on my pc, and control the device to upload everything to my cloud storage.

Can't access broken screen OPO, adb not working

Recently my OPO's screen cracked for the second time in half a year, and because of the ridiculous screen prices I've decided to not get it fixed this time.
But, I do want to get all my data and grab some other stuff from the phone before I discard it. I came across a tool by k.janku1 that does exactly what I need right now. I installed adb, sdk, intel android drivers and the tool itself but realised that USB debugging probably is not enabled on my phone. This post proposes a workaround for that, but that doesn't seem to work. Running adb shell comes up with an error and adb devices gives me an empty list. Is there a solution to this?

Can I authorise ADB with a broken screen that does not show anything?

Hi all!
Unfortunately, I dropped my OP6 at a gig last night and the screen is decimated, cannot see anything and I cannot interact with it.
I took some photos and videos that I really want to keep but as wifi is off Photos will not back up.
My hope is to switch on wifi using adb, not sure if that is even possible but before I can try this I need to authorise adb on the device, which I cannot do with the screen being in the state it is.
I can see the device when issuing adb devices but of course it tells me it is unauthorised. Is there a way I can authorise adb on this phone to allow me to switch on wifi?
All of the research leads me to solutions where the digitiser is broken but the screen is still visible and the issue is solved using OTG adapter, this solution will not work for me.
Any feedback is very much appreciated!
Thanks!

If you have the developer options already activated and have already used adb with your phone in your computer I think it authorizes automatically.
In my case I don't have to authorize my phone every time.
If you haven't done this I think there aren't much options but to replace the screen
Hi There,
That is my problem, I have not yet used ADB with this device so I had not yet authorsied ADB on the device.
So far I have not uncovered a way of doing this, it looks like I will be losing a lot of photos and videos

One plus 6: display black, can't see nothing try to connect via adb to enable function and use OTG cable to television or something else

Hi to all,
how are you?
It's still a very long time i don't wirte here.
So i was a happy owner of a oneplus 6 from may 2019. I haven't problem and all works so well.
During a trip with fog and rain, the phone was wet and full of humidity, i had to use it during the rain 2 times to find the way to come back. When i was in home the display never respond. I tried to dry with a hairdryer but i won't go. In the meantime i buyeg a motog22 waiting to adjust my oneplus.
I'm using the original oneplus os, with last updates of august
So i remember i enabled the developers mode on my phone and i hoped also usb debugging and otg was enabled to cast the screen with this: https://plugable.com/products/uga-4khdmi (there are also the displaylink driver that tart at trhe phone startup), but i won't activate, don't no why.
Then i decided to try via adb to unblock wifi and other thing and make it usable with otg or thing like this: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy
When i started abd i got this:
D:\myfolder\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
phonenumber unauthorized
I read some xda and stackoverflow posts but can't find a solution.
To authorize it i tried to delete adbkey inside .adroid folder, kill and start server but nothign working also cause the phone want an authorization that i can't give cause i can't see my display even if the display vibration is working and maybe also the touch.
Then i tried this:
adb reboot recovery
error: device unauthorized.
This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.
So i tried to restart the phone in boot recovery trying to see if the authoriaztion is enabled by default, but nothing happen.
I just wanted to push the keys to my phone and then using adb to reactivte wifi and something else almost to cast my phone or make a backup of some application (like google auth or microsoft auth...)
Are there an extreme solution or i have to wait the display and change it? I know this is the best solution but without this phone i have some activities...bloked It's incredible!
Thnks in advance for you help!
Bye
