Well my phone broke because it fell and the screen no longer functions.
I'm back on a Galaxy S5 til I make a claim with T-Mobile after getting my photos etc.
I plug it into the PC and it recognizes it but no Internal memory options or SDCard options.
Any help getting my photos mainly is appreciated.
Things to note:
T-Mobile Galaxy S7
Screen does not function and I do not get haptic feedback (just from homekey button)
Fingerprint unlock was enabled upon breakage. So I have a Fingerprint lock.
USB Debugging is not enabled.
Any help is appreciated. I don't want to lose these photos.
1. Turn on your phone
2. Go visit the Google device manager
and try to unlock your phone.
3. Press power button to power on the screen
4. Connect your phone to your PC
If you already enabled MTP, you should be able to see your memory and browse it

Theirs no unlock option. Only locking which changes the lockscreen I assume?

Tried a USB OTG keyboard/mouse?

Hello everyone,
So my screen cracked and my lcd slowly started dying and is now completely black. Touch still works as i am able too unlock the screen and i can hear random noises. Is there any way to retrieve the files of the phone? I can plug it in and the computer recognizes the phone, I just cant mount the SD card. I have all my lecture recordings for school on there! Please help.
if someone could show me with pictures or video how to enable the mass storage so i can enable it blind, that could work too.
Phone is UNROOTED
USB DEBUGGING IS OFF

If you can't mount then you need debugging on to use adb to pull the files.

Hmm don't think it can. You could try and see if adb is working in the Bootloader.

If you trust the 'Power of the Force' lol than just turn off phone completley than hold 'Power & Volume Down' and you should be on 'Fastboot' so just use the 'Volume Down' key and I am 98% sure it is the first option with the click of one down, not sure if this is helpful or just blah blah blah but (maybe) sorry?
While plugged in I held the power button and the soft keys on the bottom blinked 15 times and it went off. then i held "power and vol down" and nothing happened. Then phone vibrated and then the tmobile jingle sound. dont think im doing it right?
If the device boots and the touchscreen works, you can enable usb debugging blind:
- Unlock the device: Swipe up from the bottom
- Notifications: Swipe down from the top
- Settings: Tap on the far right side, between 0.5 and 1.5 cm from the top. (Directly underneath the status bar)
- Developer options: It's the 2nd option from the bottom, so first swipe up a few times to get to the bottom of the menu, then tap between 1 and 2 cm from the bottom.
- USB Debugging: It's the first option from the top, underneath the status bar and the menu title. Tap between 1.5 and 2.5 cm from the top.
- Now you have to confirm a dialog. The OK button is on the right side, about 4 cm from the bottom (or 2 cm below the center).
adb should work in bootloader even with debugging off. It did for me.
To make your life easier when you get it connected through adb, you can use my quick adb tool to get a visual interface of your device.
That way you dont have to mess with adb commands in a command prompt window
SUCCESS!!! in the midst of randomly pressing parts of the screen, I somehow turned USB mass storage on and was able to transfer all my files! lol I dont think I ever got debugging on though..
Thank you to all that helped. I got my lectures! just in time too, Big exam tomorrow!
Thanks again!
Hello All,
I've recently broken my LCD, not cracked, but the contrast material leaked into the screen, eventually turning everything black. I can still use the digitizer, but have no concept what's going on screen. Let's just say, I've been luck and unlucky. My though was to use a screen viewing tool via adb to grab some phone numbers of recent calls/texts before I send to Samsung for repair (the phone agent said they would wipe it back to stock). What I have been trying to do is enable ADB/USB debugging through recovery.
Here's what I've tried so far:
1) Boot to recovery
2) Mount /system as rw
3) pull default.proc and build.proc from their respective directories
4) add the following lines to each
Code:
persist.service.adb.enable=1
persist.service.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb (this line was already located in the default.proc file)
5) push files back to their respective directories
6) reboot
Upon reboot, I'm stuck in a loop. I can't tell what's going on, how far it's getting etc because no display. I assume I'm getting past the initial splash screen because I feel the initial power on vib, and then another short vibe, followed by a long-ish pause, and a reboot (I assume), another power up vib, and another short vib. If I leave connected to USB during this sequence, The PC tries to install the MTP driver, but then fails when it reboots.
I've got to admit, I'm somewhat of a noob when it comes to this device. I don't understand it as well as some of the other handsets I've had. I'm sure I've made a mistake someplace and would greatly appreciate any help/insight you could offer.
Best Regards
My screen broken, but usb debug disabled
I have the same problems, but usb debug disabled, (xplay vivo 510w)
touch pad have key sounds, seems only display cracked.
is there any way to enable usb debugging?
Some possible way:
1. Engineering code to enable usb debugging
2. Any setting screen snaps to enable usb debugging (developers option)
3. reboot to recovery mode (dangerous to data? )
4. Flash ROM (unfamily & not prefer)
Thanks for any help~!
Black Screen but phone appears to function, need to enable debugging
My phone is broken. Screen cracked and black so I assume the digitizer is also broken. I'd like to access the phone through my laptop so I can view the several important apps I have on there. I don't think I have debugging enabled and I have followed this but find it difficult as I'm a novice (I can follow step by step instructions fine) and also tried to follow this. How do I enable debugging with no way of know what's going on on the phone?
Thanks in advance x
Guys,
In short, i need to enable usb debugging without screen (work in blind touch).
pls capture 4 screenshots of atrix 2 JB 4.1.2 leaked for:
1. dropped top bar (where the setting icon)
2. Where the developer setting is (scroll to bottom end)
3. position where is usb debugging (if possible, without scroll)
4. any message if usb debugging is enable
Long version:
My Atrix2 dropped from 1 meter and the screen cracked.
The screen is not showing anything now except some vertical lines.
i can see it shows some touches dot (i always enable show touches).
i managed to patterned unlock it and enabled tethering to get online after numerous of tries.
i need to access some info from the phone and all i need is to enable usb debugging to get some apps to work.
i dont have HDMI cable to connect it to TV.
i opt for not to restart it in fastboot to flash some ADB setting (if i failed, i may not get tethering to work again)
so, could some one pls help me with above 4 screenshots?
regards
Lesson learn: Always enable this setting
finally got this worked
Hi,
An update.
i managed to enable usb debugging by capturing some screenshots (press and hold power+volume down key).
i have photos sync to facebook enabled. Thus, i can see these images.
i resized these images at monitor and guessed where should i touch.

thanks for those who tried to help.
i'm lucky, isn't it?:laugh:
A while back, My old Stylo 2 stopped working due to a very strange (I assume hardware-related) bug that made the phone constantly press the same spots over and over and over, and the screen was entirely unresponsive otherwise. Only those few spots ( 1. About 25% up the bottom right side, 2. The very top right corner, and most prominently 3. Just right of the multitasking button, within its 'hitbox'.) have any effects on the screen at all, and I cannot find places on the screen that are 'touchable' due to the multitasking button being hit over and over and it constantly switching me between apps.
More than anything, I just want to change my USB mode to file transfer to get my pictures off the phone, but even as easy as that is in Android 7 (pull down the top menu, select USB settings, change to file transfer right?) I can't even get the top menu down most of the time, let alone get to the USB settings. On the rare occasion that I do get all the way there, either the multitasking button starts acting up again or the screen stops responding to everything altogether, making the one thing I need to select un-selectable. Much to my dismay, it also seems that I have USB Debugging turned off (I honestly have no idea why or how this was turned off, as I use ADB frequently), so I can't even use ADB to get a screen control app to run. Are there any ways to either force USB Debugging to be on via console (Win8) or otherwise, or control the screen and disable touch without the need for a third-party app?
Yes

Yes, but I'd appreciate a thanks for the solution! I give and give ...
First, what model number is your Stylo? For instance I have the Cricket variety (H634). Once you figure that out check out my link below with particular attention paid to the "how to enable usb debugging via dialup" step. I just tried it with my Stylo (H634), works great. The link pertains to the LG G6 but it will work on your LG Stylo as well.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g6/how-to/frp-unlock-lg-g6-using-headphone-jack-t3616166
Or just try this ...
Dial *#546368#*_ _ _# (Field Test Mode). Enter your devices model number in the three blanks. Mine for instance would be *#546368#*634# (H634 being the Cricket model number). Go to SVC>LDB> Enable usb debugging
Happy USB'n!
Long story short I have a crypto wallet with a balance & all the log in credentials are stored my flip. The screen started acting up a few months ago and before it reached the point of me being completely unable to use it, I enabled screen mirroring and all. Adb debugging is also enabled. The problem is the screen is completely blind. I can power it up swipe and unlock the screen from memory to where the digits are however I can't see it. I have a crypto wallet on the device I'd like to access as the 2 step authenticator & email is stored on the device. Is there any hope I can access this without having the screen repaird first? Thank you
