Recently dropped my OnePlus and it broke both the digitizer and LCD, so I cannot see nor touch anything on the screen. I had USB debugging enabled on the phone, but for some reason it doesn't appear in devices when trying to load it with ADB. I've tried a few different softwares so far that will supposedly mirror an Android such as Vysor, but due to ADB not communicating I'm assuming that's why these softwares are not working. I've tried getting it into fastboot mode to run commands on it, but without being able to see the screen it seems to not be booting correctly. I'd like to be able to just get it mirrored so I can make sure I didn't miss anything when backing up, would appreciate not having to spend $200 on screen replacement...

Backstory:
My buddy bought 3 ASUS tf300t tablets online with broken screens. Unbeknownst to us they have this weird firmware issue because ASUS is lame and doesn't care about backwards compatibility. I've been trying to fix these tablets for a few weeks now and I'm just spinning myself in circles and getting frustrated. 1 of them is rooted with CWM recovery so that's the one I'm working on.
The issue:
According to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091233&page=11 I can simply adb into the device copy the proper firmware to it's set directory, delete the old firmware, run the firmware update command and touch will be restored.
So how does one use adb without usb debugging enabled?
I tried through CWM, adb worked, but I can't get superuser to work, nor could I get the touch_firmware_update command to work.
So I downloaded the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893714&highlight=root stock rom with usb debugging enabled. I flashed that rom and my computer brings up the normal TF300t drivers for MTP.
ADB doesn't see any devices...
I tried manually replacing those drivers with the ADB drivers from google because I'm a touch retarded and I thought it would work. My mom says that I'm super smart and really handsome, but I feel like she lies to me.
There's just so many new terms and I've spent so many hours on it that frankly, if search did bring up the answer, I would miss it.
I'd appreciate any help, and if you help me fix it, I'll make a youtube video thanking you in the creepiest way possible.
-Thanks

Short of investing 60 bucks on a docking keyboard, your best bet would be to get a usb dongle that allows you to plug in a keyboard so you can be sure debugging is ticked. Otherwise, if it's enabled and you've installed the proper drivers, Windows should see your device. From there, it's a breeze, if the hardware is good. You don't have to do Youtube. Just stop crying, Gives me the creeps.

Yep, your only for sure way would be a USB OTG adapter or a dock. Heres the adapter in the US for 10 bucks shipped on eBay. This will let you use any regular USB mouse instead of the touch screen

Heres another for 4 more bucks that gives you Two USB ports :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dual-40-Pin...ablet_eReader_Accessories&hash=item3cce7dd4c8
Also you can try giving this a shot ....http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
Its an app that pushes your phones screen to your desktop so you can use a keyboard and mouse on it. Not sure if it will work for you since im sure it needs debugging on, but also worth a shot. I use MyMobiler on mine but it needs to be set up on the device itself first. This looks plug and play but says it has slow refresh rates.
As far as the ADB drivers, Im using the universal drivers found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2139767 and everything works as it should . Try those out
Oh and one more thing.. You might be able to use fastboot to push a touchpanel firmware zip. This is a different device, but you could try it :

I gave up, but, I appreciate it. I even ended up buying the adapter, ended up bricking the tablets.
My girlfriend dropped her phone and it works but you cannot see anything on the screen because its cracked. She has a passcode lock on it when it boots up and i have no idea how to get her pictures and videos off of it. If anyone can give me some ideas of how to do this that would be awesome. She has some important pictures on there that she woulld like back.
If touch works, you could try going through the movements to enter the passcode and hope it works.
If touch doesn't work, is the bootloader unlocked? If so, boot into recovery. If you use a custom recovery like TWRP, you should have ADB access and will be able to access files on the virtual /sdcard. I don't think you can get into ADB on stock recovery, but doesn't hurt to try.
If you can't get into ADB through recovery, was USB Debugging enabled on the phone? If so, you might be able to get the files through ADB that way.
I found this, maybe it will help:

You'll need ADB access to use it, however.
If this phone has never been hacked, rooted, and USB debugging never enabled, I think you would just have to replace the screen. It's actually pretty easy on these phones.
Yea she's not into this at all so it is bone stock and USB debugging is not enabled. Could I somehow get a USB OTG cable and hook a hdmi cable into to get the screen to show up on a tv or something? Wish the damn thing had removable memory.
Unfortunately, these phones don't have HDMI out.
It does, however, have USB OTG so you're onto something! Try plugging in a USB keyboard. I just tried setting a passcode and I can enter it using a keyboard.
Good thinking!

Nice! that should do the trick, my pc woulld recognize it after i get it unlocked i woulld assume. Thanks a lot for the input i hope it works (bonus points to me)
Yep, pretty sure your PC should recognize it. I think this will work. Good luck!
Hey,
some days ago, I dropped my phone so that the screen is broken (black) now.
The other functions work fine though, for example I can still connect the phone via USB to the PC and access to the files.
Nevertheless, I have some important files which can only be accessed via Private Mode. But in order to activate the Private Mode, I have to see the display (unless you know another way how to activate Private Mode?).
I think the best way for that would be Screen Mirroring on PC. Unfortunately, Samsung's SideSync does not recognize my phone although it's connected via USB. Probably I have to open SideSync on the phone as well but with a broken screen, this is difficult (Or do you have any ideas?)
I have also checked out other programs like MirrorGo, but this one needs USB debugging enabled on the phone. Again, that is not easy with a broken screen.
So do you have any ideas how I can either mirror the phone on a PC or enable the Private Mode in a different way? (Apart from replacing the whole display for 200€)
Thanks a lot for your help
in the same boat
Hi guys,
I had Oneplus 6 for the last couple of years (stock recovery, no-root), and the screen shattered last week. since then I bought a new phone, but I can’t extract files from the old device.
The main problem is the MTP options is not checked, as well as USB debugging therefore I don't have access to it with the windows explorer . However, I think the touch is still works (at least at the bottom of it) and beside the screen – the OP6 is fully functional and my PC recognize it.
I tried to enable it via ADB, but the device is not authorized. What can I do to get my vids and pics back?

I guess the question is how broken is your phone? You cannot use adb, I think, until you enable usb debugging in developer options. To enable developer options you need to go to "about the phone" and click on build number like 7 times.
You can try uploading to google drive, or maybe use a bluetooth/maybe even usb mouse
EDIT:
I googled your problem, and this person recommends using an accessibility feature. Maybe this could help?
Hi, i had the same problem and i was going nuts with it. But i found a solution! As long as your digitizer still works, you press both up and down volume buttons at the same time for 3 seconds, and it will activate the talk back mode. You'll have to get used to it, because it's a bit finicky, but once you understand the mechanics of it, you connect your oneplus to a PC, through a USB cable, go to configurations, bluetooth & connections, USB options and select file transfer. Once you do that, you'll have access to your phone internal drive in the computer.
Hope this was helpfull!
Hey and thank you for your answer. Actually it sounds like a decent solution, but pressing the volume buttons did not turn on the talkback mode =\

Uh, that sucks. It only works once the phone is unlocked. So if you did that, made sure that you volume is on, you are not connected to Bluetooth headphones or anything like that then I donno. You might have to convince a local repair shop to give you a loner screen to get your data out for a reduced price or something. Or try clicking blindly in the right spots. Or maybe somebody comes along with a better idea.
Android phones do not support external displays, right?
I don't know about the displays, but I'll go to a lab tomorrow because i ran out of ideas
thank you for your help, I appreciate your time mate :good:
So a few days ago I cracked my phone screen when it went in-between the couch. The phone was rooted and I believe had TWRP installed. I tried a few screen mirroring apps on my laptop but they all required me to enable USB debugging which is impossible given the fact that most of the touch capabilities of the screen are gone.
Someone suggested on Reddit I could use scrypy. I have it installed but not sure what to do. Could someone help me please?
SCRCPY only works on devices with Android where ADB (read: USB-Debugging ) is enabled.
