I am trying to be able to get some information off of my S6 Active that wouldn't restore on to the new phone. I read on here that there are ways to access the phone and have the screen come up on the computer but I wasn't able to enable anything on the phone or download any apps to get access. Is there a way I can control my phone and see what I am doing with a computer?
Thanks

Ok, I've been at this for two days now. I'm trying to get an S4 to display on a computer screen so it can still be used until the owner can afford a repair.
The screen isn't cracked, but the LCD and Digitizer are completely broken. The phone still functions when connected via USB.
- side note, my phone is currently in the same condition but before it went down I had it rooted and put into debugging mode. I was able to accomplish this feat without an issue, from my phone.
Okay, so the phone I'm currently trying to get this to work on:
1. Isn't rooted
2. Screen is black and no touch response
3. Not in developer mode, not set for debugging
4. Computer can recognize phone via USB
5. Able to still install apps from the goggle play store via the website
Goal: get it to be able to mirror/display on a computer
I've seen posts on the internet stating everything from impossible to no it's possible but we won't give you the details.
These things are basically handheld computers, even without it being "rooted" i should be able to access it in some way from a computer to put it in debugging mode even if i have to program it in myself. Which is why "impossible" is something I cannot swallow.
Any tips, advice or a point in the right direction here would be appreciated. Thank you.
-currently im trying out this Mobile Go program even with the phone not in debugging.
-I feel like there has to be a way to force the phone into debug mode even if you cannot physically use the touch screen or see anything.

Greetings,
Thank you for using XDA Assist. You can ask the experts in the GS4 Q&A forum found here:

Good luck!
Alright, so I just recently broke my phone so that my screen is completely black and won't respond to any touch. I have quite a few photos that I am trying to recover and transfer to my laptop, but can't do most obvious ways because of said screen damage. I had a friend suggest ADB but have no clue how to use it. Anyone have any ideas?
There are solutions, but they are not free
You can use a data recovery tool to install on your PC and access your phone through it. However, most of these tools cost.
Do NOT use Dr Fone or similar tools, they just wreck the OS
If you had lockscreen security enabled on the phone you would need some way to unlock it before copying via USB worked
If they're that important, get the screen fixed
Smart Switch might be able to make a backup but it's not very good
Hello,
my phone fell to the ground, the screen went blue, then black. I can't see anything. It had stock ROM on it, I never updated the firmware nor tried to root it. Thing is, I would like to access the phone to recover pics, contacts, and so on. I had enabled the USB debug mode a while ago to transfer data to the computer. However, when I plug it in to my computer now, I can't access the phone because I had the fingerprint lock on, and when you reboot you can't use the fingerprint as you need to first use the backup password. But I can't type the password because the screen is completely black. So I'm stuck there!
I can get to download mode, and Odin does recognize the phone. If I were to use Samsung's newest firmware, would that solve the issue? I'm thinking here that updating to the newest firmware would mean I wouldn't have to type the password to get in, but I really have no idea.
There are few programs out there that claim that you can actually bypass the lock screen, but they do not support the G920V as of now.
Any tips would be much appreciated!
Perhaps attempt using an USB OTG adapter with a keyboard. It may take a couple attempts, but should work to get the password in.
Hello, few days ago my phone's screen stopped working. So I cannot access my phone since its locked behind pattern lock. I tried with ADB but I keep getting ADB Device Unauthorized and I don't know how to fix that.
As far as I know I believe USB Debugging is enabled. I tried a lot of ways with useless one click apps, mirror screen apps but nothing work as I need to unlock phone to give permission to the computer to communicate with the phone, but I cannot do that since the device screen doesn't work and I cannot see anything. I have an OTG cable and tried to unlock with mouse but its easier said than done.
Can someone give me any tutorials.
It requires a couple of your phones internal software switches to be set in order to access your phone via the USB interface. If you have not already set these switches before the screen got broken you may be out of luck.
I have a Samsung A51 with a screen that is damaged to the point I am unable to see anything. I can hear incoming calls, so I am assuming the phone is in working order besides this. I would like to gain access to the phone, either with a mirrored display via HDMI, or Slide Sync. I am unable to unlock my phone. I have a pattern unlock. I do have a USB C to HDMI adapter, but I am unable to accept the notification. Using ADB or another tool, am I able to gain access to the phone? I would like to pull some information off of it prior to getting it repaired / replaced. Thank you.

Thank you for the reply. The problem with using an HDMI out, is there is a notification I have to accept for it to work. I am unable to accept the notification.
If ADB got successfully enabled then you can pull userdata by means of ADB.
