Hi everyone,
Sadly, I broke the screen and digitizer of my beloved OP3T :crying:
The bootloader is unlocked, android is rooted and I have TWRP as recovery.
Unfortunately, usb debugging is disabled as my banking application refused to work when it was enabled.
I don't plan to replace the screen as the A3010 as poor/non-existent 4G support here in europe, I didn't know that when I bought that phone
I would like to use the phone as a media player or home automation system through a DisplayLink adapter, but I have trouble to set it up blindly.
I tried to use this tool but I wasn't able to connect to the phone.
I think I manage to enable usb debugging with adb in twrp recovery but I'm not 100% sure. It keeps saying "state: rejected", I don't know if that means that usb debugging is disabled or that I need to approve my host PC (which I can't without the digitizer working)...
Plan B was to use a DisplayLink adapter...
I installed "DisplayLink Presenter" on my OP3T through the play store but It displays nothing on the external monitor.
Maybe I need to unlock the phone first? But I can't type the pin code without a digitizer...
I'm out of idea so your help would be very welcome :good:
Regards,
Cédric
TL;DR: Is it possible to install a USB > DisplayLink adapter on a phone with broken screen and digitizer?

I am trying to get some help for my sister who needs to get her data from here Galaxy S6 but her screen is cracked with no visible display. In order to access the data she needs to put the phone into USB debugging or click her phone to allow her laptop access. With a broken screen she is unable to do either of those, and she has also tried using Kies, a newer Samsung app and that thing where it remotely detects your device but none of it has worked.
She has an otg cable with TV-Out but it isn't her S6. Would using another otg cable as a bridge between her phone and her TV-Out otg cable work? I would prefer a more simple solution than this as I am not in the same country as her so I'm not there to see what is going on for myself.
Thank you,

Unfortunately you can't do tv out on the s6 via otg, it doesn't have that function. The only other option is maybe connecting a mouse or keyboard via otg to try and allow access.
She does have a mouse she can put in but if she can't see the screen she can't click the prompt to allow access. There isn't a way of circumventing that prompt to get access to the files?
Hi
I have Galaxy Ace 4 (kitkat 4.4) with broken lcd. The screen is blank but touch should work. Earlier something was visible on screen and as I remember touch was working.
Moreover, the system had some failure due to permanent "application xxx stopped working" and factory reset should be made.
I would like to use this phone as wifi hotspot. Is there any way to access the phone after factory reset? I have found application like Visor to control android via usb on pc. But developer mode has to be enabled and I'm not sure if system should be rooted.
Thank you for any help
If you can still see the screen, but the touch screen does not work:
Buy a cheap USB adapter so you can connect a PC keyboard or mouse (probably a USB C to USB A adapter). You can buy these adapters from China on eBay for $ 1 (but you may have to wait a month until they arrive in the mail. In this case, buy from a seller in your own country). I suppose you have a keyboard or just use the keyboard and use the arrows to move and select things, so I think the Windows button will become the home button. Press Enter to select and Escape to return. Or you can simply point and click with the mouse. The problem is that not all phones support "OTG", so you may not be able to read the adapter. If so, then I think you have no other choice. . But most of the stores themselves definitely support 100% OTG, so it should work normally. The problem with Bluetooth is that you need to pair it first, which requires touching the screen. Therefore, if you cannot touch the screen, using a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard may not work
If you can't see the screen, but the touch screen works normally:
Unless you change the screen, don't think that there are many things you can do. Android phones that were previously compatible with MHL allow you to use a dongle to connect it directly to HDMI. But the cell phone no longer has that function. If you have a Samsung phone, I think you can buy a Samsung Dex docking station, which will allow you to connect it to the screen via HDMI. If you can install applications on your phone, you may be able to control your phone from your computer using a screen mirroring application (there are thousands of different software that can do this, but you need to install applications on your phone). Same as Google Chromecast screen mirroring. .You need to access the application on your phone to perform this operation. Therefore, there is nothing you can do except replace the screen. If you are lucky and your smartphone supports some type of HDMI dongle adapter or some type of desktop docking station with HDMI output, you can view the phone's screen and access it.
Hi - wondering if anyone out there can think of a solutions to this...
So, my wife cracked her phone screen (Huawai P20) and bought a cheap phone to use short term while we worked out a replacement (Alcatel 1). When setting up the temporary phone, not all of the data from her P20 was install/copied, mainly because there's not enough storage space to hold it all.
Some of the data left on the P20 is really important (downloaded documents/files and pevious whatsapp history), so I was going to hook it up to a PC and grab all the data from it, but the biggest problem is she can't remember the unlock pattern. I know developer mode/USB debugging is not turned on, so I can't even get a PC/ADB to recognise it, plus I've had to connect it to a mouse and monitor (via HDMI/USB adapter) to even view/control the unlock screen.
I'm pretty sure that without the pattern we have little or no options, but was wondering if anyone knew the answers to the following:
Is there any way to unlock the phone using the old PIN that was set (she's confident she knows this)?
Is there a way to unlock using the finger print sensor (even though is says 'pattern required due to restart')
Should ADB list it as a device even though USB debigging is turned off and the phone is screen locked (currently does not list it, but I thought you could PIN unlock via ADB)
Does anyone know any other tools/options for accessiing the files on the phone.
Thanks is advance for any help!
Basically you can access Android's filesystem in ADB-mode or in MTP-mode: the latter should always be possible.
Even if USB Debuging is turned off and the screen is locked? Any tips on how to get the PC to see the device in MTP mode?
Thanks!
My wifey has a Huawei Y7 with HiSuite installed on Windows PC and HDB enabled on phone. As soon as she connects PC with phone over USB, confirms the verification code, phone gets mounted on PC as external USB-drive and thus visible in MTP-mode.
My guess is you have to take your Huawei to authorized service center and let them try to fix it.
Ah Ok. HiSuite asks for USB Debugging to be enabled first, which i can't do because it's locked. Thanks for you help anayway.
I have a OnePlus Nord N100 that I dropped off a ladder... I ordered a new phone (screen replacement seemed to not be worth the hastle on such a cheap phone when replacement kit was 60$) but would like to re-purpose the device for something as I am very against e-waste.
I would like to make it a security camera. If I can get ADB shell access it should be possible to install termux and run some linux command line utilities for this (i.e. motion and rclone to upload).
Problem is that without screen I cant login and turn on usb debugging. This phone uses usb 2.0 so I cannot use an hdmi display and mouse.
Is their any way I can get usb debugging enabled? I would prefer to be able to get my files off the device but most of it was backed up. Resetting is fine. I would even be down to try to re flash it with a serial programmer or something. Would their perhaps be any serial programming pads I could solder onto?

If you did not have USB debugging enabled in system settings, there is no external way to enable it. Fix the screen, otherwise, the device won't be any good for an secondary uses other than using it as a paperweight or a doorstop.
The Touchscreen on my device is entirely unresponsive, which leads me to believe that the digitizer broke (the display is fine and i already tried disconnecting and reconnecting the displays ribbon cable). I already bought a new device but this old phone has some data that i would like to access. I have tried to connect both keyboards and mice to it but it seems to not accept USB connections before entering the password. I tried 2 OTG adapters that work on other devices but not with this one. I can't connect with adb either. is there a way for me to enter my password and gain access to my data?
The OPPO Find X2 Lite has OTG support. Keep trying.

i assumed that it supports OTG, but since my devices didn't connect i thought the phone might reject usb connections before it's unlocked. is this false? i also noticed that it supports otg 1.3 and 2.0, but my otg device is 3.0 . could that be the reason it didn't work?
*edit: it also connects the keyboard in recovery mode
i tried using OTG 2.0 and it didn't work either. predictable but still disappointing.
In order to use OTG you must enable it first in settings every time you want to use it, but with no digitizer you can't do it.. oppo messed up things by not doing this automatically or at least gave us the option to have it always enabled..
