Hello,
I have a Samsung S6 with android 7.0 running on it. (latest stock firmware) The screen got cracked this week and the digitizer and OLED are not working anymore.
I've got some 2 FA keys in google authenticator that i did not backup. Now i know that i have to keep the QR code safely... but that is too late in this case. I don't want to buy a new screen...
I did manage to get a full backup of my phone by attaching a keyboard with an OTG cable. but this will not recover the 2FA keys in Google Authenticator.
How you can unlock your phone with a keyboard:
1. attach a keyboard with an OTG cable.
2. press the 'esc' button' and 'backspace' button
3. insert your password and press enter. You should hear the unlock sound. (you can unlock with the fingerpint from now on, if it was set)
I did activate developer options before but i disabled it when i'm not using it. So i have to activate it again.
I think i can enable Developer mode blindly by following these steps. The phone needs to be unlocked.
1. typ one letter. This will bring up google search. press backspace and delete (just to be sure it is blank). Now type 'Settings'
2. Press the down key once
3. Press enter
4. press the down key for 10 seconds (this should focus the item on the last option in the list, which is 'developer mode' )
5. press enter
6. press up once
7. press right once
8. enter
developer options should now be enabled.not sure how i can check this tho. I checked if my computer can find my phone. I can access the internal memory because the phone is unlocked.
i asume developer options is enabled... The next step is re-activating debugging mode in order to mirror the screen. But 'adb devices' does not show any device yet. This means 'debugging mode' is still deactivated.
So i'm trying to enable 'Debugging mode' within the 'developer options'.
I searched on youtube to see how the menu looks like in Android 7 on a S6 so i can figure out how many keys i need to press in order to re-activate USB debugging. But i seem to be stuck on this step.
My question: can somebody make screenshots or a video from a samsung S6 (with android 7.0) device with a keyboard attached that shows how many key presses are needed to activate USB debugging?
When i'm in the developer options menu i think i have to press 9 times down, hit enter, then press the right key once and then hit enter again.
Can someone confirm that this is correct?
The RSA keys for my pc were already accepted previously. so that should not be an issue. unless i hit the 'revoke keys' options by accident... (i hope not!)
if anyone knows an other way to activate USB debugging without erasing the whole phone, please tell me. I need access to my 2FA keys. :crying:
edit:
i'm not sure if the steps to enable Developer mode are working. I'm reproducing the steps on an old S5 phone. I now realize that there are internet suggestions when typing "Settings' on the S5 model. I need to press 4x down then enter. hmmm... These suggestions only pops up when wifi is enabled. I can ping my S6 phone. So WiFi is enabled on my broken s6.
---
It would be awesome if someone can record a video that shows me (and potentially others) how to install and run 'SideSync' through keystrokes. on an S6 with android 7.0. SideSync can then mirror and control the screen on a pc..
I'm going to try this blindly for now... fingers crossed
edit2: it seems that SideSync needs a code that is shown on the S6 screen. damn it. Searching for other solutions...
Kind Regards,
Vincent

Hi all:
I've been looking for a while for a secret code / menu which you type a number into dialer,
I've tried several of available ones of galaxy note I, but they don't seem to work, only few..
Can anyone please tell me how to get into the debugging mode ???? (I'm not talking about option- usb debugging)
Many thanks
if your device has been ROOTED, you can launch all secret codes. Install Shortcut Master app, go to menu 'Secret Code Explorer' and tap to launch it.
Hello,
After getting my Gear S2 back from Samsung service (I tried to wash it via the faucet water stream, it entered an infinite reboot cycle and then died - IP68 compatible huh?) I turned it on and it appeared to enter some sort of Service Menu. I haven't left this menu (nor do I know how, except maybe a factory reset?), but I would like to know how I could reenter it if I wished to, in the future. Googling for this yielded no results, and that is shocking. I wanted to post an image showing this menu, but I'm not allowed to since I've got less than 10 posts.
Thanks.
Should be able to just upload it to a photo service, like imgur and just pasting the link as text, if you wish to share it. Interested in what it looks like.
Hi. Looking for this menu in the web, i found the method for the Gear 2, and *i think* is the same. I tried succesfully in my Gear S2.
Just go to the dialer and press: *#0*#
and you can enter to a menu titled TESTMODE
You can exit from this menu pressing twice in the upper button.
Greetings.
Pressing the upper button twice does nothing. In fact, I'm unable to exit this mode even with a restart or a factory reset (via Gear Info -> Reset). Here's the link, delete the spaces.

I brought it back to the service and apparently they forgot to flash it. That was a default service Tizen that ships from the factory. It contains tests and it's supposed to be overwritten once the mobo is replaced.

Thanks for the info about the Test Mode. The Sensor screen was fun.

Good!. I tried to find this menu but i only guessed that is for developer options or something like that (because a lot of tizen icons).
Also i tried some codes for Samsung devices and found some of them work in my Gear S2 (use at your own risk):
*#06# Serial Number
*#0*# LCD Test Menu
*#1234# Version Info
*#12580*369# Main Version
*#0228# Battery Status
*#0*# General Test Mode
*#2663# Touch Firmware Version
*#0283# Audio Loopback Control
*#9900# Log Dump
*#34971539# Camera Firmware Update
*#7353# Self Test
Greetings
Did anyone noticed...
I find an easy way to input these codes; plus others that in the dialer doesn't work.
Go to Settings>> Gear info>> Device>> Software version (push 5 times the button) A system ui with a different dialer let you input codes- it's like when we try to get the developer options on android phone.
Hope it helped!
[FRP] ZTE Majesty Pro Z798BL FRP Bypass
(Sorry for the poor write up, it's basically notes from when I did this model quickly. If I get free time I will clean these steps up some so they are more clear and also get ahold of the handset and post additional methods/steps.)
There are multiple ways to do this bypass - here are just a few i came across freestyling. I'll document the others when i get time to lock up one of these phones again (it's a clients so dont have long with it)
1. talkback settings - This was already enabled for me and the chick that did it said she pressed home 3 times quick like on a iPhone. Not sure if that worked or not (i think shes mistaken). I didn't have time to go back and check. The manual and other info out there says to place two fingers on the screen and wait xx amount of seconds. Then talkback would be enabled. Well I have had this handset a handful of times since before this tutorial and i could NEVER get it into Accessibility.. Talkback enabled .. anything. So if someone knows the first step for sure then please post and i'll edit step.
2. help / about. search voice, click on subscribe out pops u to youtube
hit share and a: goto bluetooth and select device / pair mouthpiece or b: goto gmail and enter a email address hotmail or yahoo
3a: turn device off then back on and click till it beeps, say ok google next - enter search string settings hit enter.. goto the 3 lines on the left for settings, click settings and enable in apps boxes, also you could enable the bluetooth settings too but the most importabt thing here is the cards settings. enable these, next search for stock android and launch it. open settings and enable unknown sources, next open google chrome from the apps, search for sidebar apk, install next add these apps (i add all of them incase i need to get back somewhere.. not all are needed though) I add chrome, google, file manager, settings and stock android. next go back to settings then to apps and disable setup wizard and google account manager
3b: goto 3 dots - ? i forget this one so ignore until i remember. lol
3c: goto dialer
4. download dpc test manager 4.0.5 ? run this select device manager hit next then open, lastly goto developer settings oem unlock and usb debugging. goto backup/reset and reset phone. done
3d: (haven't finished) you need to put the phone into "Engineering Mode" first, by dialling *ZTE*OPENEM# (*983*673636#) -- this action will be confirmed by a quick pop-up. To close this mode, dial *ZTE*CLOSEEM# (*983*2567336#) -- this then prompts whether you want to do a Factory Reset, which you do not have to do (you can simply Back away from this screen).
(dont close mode)
go back to dialer and type *983*87274# USBSI USB Switch Test
enable mdm(modem)
-goto cmd, type adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1 (don't remember the outcome)
reboot?
3e: Open uni android tools (if you've got it) and navigate to > UNTESTED

It was very simple for me. For my Z798BL majesty pro i just held down two fingers on open screen till AccessibilityMode came on then swiped my finger from top left down to bottom right(an L shape) across the screen. That opened a menu so I tapped on TalkBack Options (to disable the TalkBack after the TalkBackOptions opened I held down the volume up and volume down Keys till it was disabled) then I scroll down to Help&Feedback clicked on Switch Access Mode question then scroll down to & tapped on the blue words "Turning on Bluetooth" then scroll all the way down to the bottom of that screen to "WasThisArticleHelpful" Yes or No? Tapped on NO, then I typed in anything in the box highlighted it and click on Assist that took me to the Google app then I typed in Chrome because it wouldn't let me download anything from the Google app so I went to the Chrome app then typed in "Test DPC 5.0.4 apk" then I downloaded the Test DCP APK then follow the instructions to install it including update phone's permissions to install unknown source. Clicked on setup new Divice Owner and followed those options til I was done(think just one or two more screens to click on "yes or continue" wasn't hard to figure out from there) when I was done with all that I tapped Back to the Google app typed in Settings clicked on phone settings scroll down to Backup&Reset clicked on reset device then erase everything then turned off my phone and restarted it. And that was it!

[FRP] LG Stylo 3 FRP Bypass - StraightTalk LGL84VL
Android Ver 7.0
Security Patch: November 6, 2017
Worlds First Stylo 3 StraightTalk bypass! 09/26/18
I've bypassed yet another Stylo 3 and this time it is the StraightTalk model.
This is different than my other bypasses and it seems I am the first to do it. There is no download mode for this model and no fastboot so that eliminates a lot of easier ways. Only leaves doing it manually. My instructions are different than the other Stylo 3 tutorial threads I have made here on XDA. I have also done a video which will be linked below. It is on my new YouTube channel which will have videos for any new FRP I do, my old FRP's (when i get ahold of the handsets again), and of course anything Android related.
I'm hoping you have some experience manually removing FRP already before reading this. I'm trying to keep it short and simple.
**YOU WILL NEED A BLUETOOTH HEADSET FOR THIS METHOD!**
I will be posting the tutorial and video for the NON BlueTooth method very soon.
Video - (Working on as I post this.. will be posted here soon..)
Steps
1. HARD RESET your phone. Make sure you do this before starting the next step.
2. Connect to wifi and go back to the start and get into accessibility mode / TalkBack by pressing 2 fingers on the screen and holding till it beeps. Enable Global Context Menu by making an L shape on the screen. Goto TalkBack Settings. Once you are in press both volume keys to suspend Talkback. Scroll down to the bottom and select Help and Feedback. Press on where it says About Switch Access for Android (if this is framed in a window then hard reset and restart again). This should take you to the Help section with About Switch Access for Android at the top with a youtube video at the bottom.
3. Press the youtube video and Press the share button (arrow at the top right). This should show you a box with the link highlighted. Double tap this to open up YouTube. If a screen shows asking you to update YouTube Press "not now". Once youtube is opened Press the share button at the top right once again and this time you will be presented with where to share to. Press on Gmail. At this point pause and create a hotmail account on another device or use one of your own if you have it handy. Forward on into gmail and select hotmail, fill out the information, and forward on until it says Take Me To Gmail at the bottom. Press this and then Press the top right 3 dots and goto settings. Press the top 3 dots again then Press manage accounts. You should be in settings now.
4. Scroll down to BlueTooth and enable. Next pair your bluetooth device. Now scroll down to Fingerprints and Security, press this and next goto Phone Administrators then disable Find My Device. Reboot. Once booted press your bluetooth headset button and say "open settings" (if you are only presented with a box this first time type in "settings" and Press on the settings icon that appears. Goto settings and back to Fingerprints and Security and enable Unknown Sources. Now to download some files. Back out of settings and press your bluetooth and say "open chrome".
5. Type in this url http://re-uploading-files and download the files needed for this bypass. Download all but the zip file unless you want to have a zipped copy to save to your phone/pc. Now when you goto this link it will have one popup, close that and go back to the original page and click continue which you will be directed to another page with another popup. Do the same as before and continue on to where you will land on a page with a folder of the files you need to download. When downloading each it might pop up pop ups so just close those and go back to the page downloading each file except for that zip unless you want to have it as well. I am SORRY for this, working on putting them up elsewhere with no popups/ad's exclusively for XDA members. First one you need to install and open is SideBar Lite. Once it is done swype over from the left of the screen to check that it is working. Now install QuickShortCut Maker. Swype from the left of the screen to slide SideBar into view. Press the arrow and add File Manager + QuickShortCut Maker to the bar and these others that arent 100% needed but i always do just in case - Chrome, Settings, and Phone Dialer.
6. Now go back to settings using bluetooth, goto Apps, at the top right Press 3 dots and select show system. Now Disable/Force Stop then Clear Data and Cache of these apps - Google Account Manager / Google Play Services / Google Playstore / Setup Wizard (both).
7. Slide into view your SideBar. Navigate to your downloads folder through File Manager that I had you add earlier and open it. Now run FRP_Stylo3.apk and add a google account by going to Search & Now then Accounts & Privacy. Now it should crash after doing this. Simply press open again, then goto google account, Press on add account and then it should show the account. Just do the last part i mentioned so you can make sure it is there. Now use SideBar again and open File Manager then Run FRP_Bypass.apk (go ahead and run.. but might not be needed) then GAM_7.0.apk.
8. Now slide into view Side Bar and open QuickShortCut Maker. At the top select "Normal Search". Type into the search "home". Press the first one that shows up which is "Home". It should expand so now Press the one that says Home with this text wrote below it "com.lge.launcher3/com.lge.launcher3.LauncherExtension" and press "Try". Now Press on Google app box on the main page and Press gmail. It will ask you to enable Google Play Services. Do this.
9. Reboot phone
10. Now you are back at the Setup Wizard. Follow through it and disable WiFi when you get to that part. Continue setting up your phone. You have bypassed FRP now! Now simply goto your settings, then Backup and Reset and Factory Data Reset your phone.

MIUI 12.0.2 Global
Someone knows how to enter Settings or Search in settings or
Open TalkBack menu (I know shortcut is available as Vol+ Vol- but default is off)
with a USB keyboard connected to the phone?
It is a keyboard shortcut or a sequence of keys.
Under Win + / there is a shortcut list, but not there.
OKAY. After hours of rummaging around, I found a way.
I attach the keyboard to the phone.
Standby phone, pin locked.
I press 2xSPACEBAR, enter the pin, ENTER
(I'm on the desktop)
I press WINDOWS + N, after a while 5xTAB, ENTER
(I'm in settings)
and if someone else wanted TalkBack to turn it on even further:
ENTER
I type TAL
ENTER
SPACEBAR
SPACEBAR
(you hear a voice saying where I am currently on the menu)
WINDOWS + BACKSPACE
WINDOWS + BACKSPACE
My bestfriend is on a mi 9, and she has a broken screen.
For my phone (mi 11) I managed to get to SETTINGS with FN+A keys (oppens search bar) then typing settings and enter.
I will try activate talkback as you suggested, or maybe directly usb file sharing if I can, I'll tell you, you may have saved her her datas
