I have broken Mi 49 inch LED TV (Android). The screen is completely broken, nothing is visible except white light bleeding from cracks. The TV is completely working and audio can be heard when turned on.
As this is a fully functional Android device with rich connectivity options (WiFi, Ethernet, USB) I was thinking of savaging it into some sort of media server or remote desktop or something like that.
I searched a lot over the internet but was unable to find anything on how to video out from this device or how to enable any screen sharing over network (like VNC / RDP) but was not able to do anything as the screen is completely gone and there is no way I can interact with the device.
Here is what I have,
- No WiFi is configured on TV, cannot setup or connect to any network as screen is not working.
- ADB is not enabled, as said before cannot enable as not able to interact with device.
- Able to connect the TV over the Ethernet but except pinging it cannot do anything else. Tried open ADB ports but as it is disabled cannot do anything.
Please help me with this if you know way like how can I get shell access or how to hack my way into ADB or any way to video out from device.
Here is the product page of the device - https://www.mi.com/in/mi-led-smart-tv-4a-pro-49/

Does anyone know of a app that you can remotely control your evo 4g device from the computer through a usb cable (3g would be fine too)??
I found an app that you can do it with wifi, but I do not have wifi available at my work location (the app is called htcportal).
I also found a screencast application:
http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
(but you can only view the screen, you cannot remotely control it w/out rooting, I do not want to root just for this app.)
while at work I like to plug my phone in and just keep it on my pc screen so I can type messages or whatever through the software instead of having to pickup the phone and/or disconnect the usb/charging cable.
Without root, probably not going to happen.
what is the app that controls it via wifi?
moto phone portal/HTC portal:

I just tried out the moto portal and I don't like it.
the interface is pretty neat, but you have to scroll to find your contact and I didn't see an option to show the screen and actually be able to navigate through the phone.
morning geeks
you have a phone, which is not able to :
show the display
use the touchscreen
but the hardware is still able of these features :
usb mtp device, as a usb key
wifi network
cell network
and so on..
so you are here, somebody gave you a smartphone, running android, locked, but you can't neither see display or use touchscreen;
but its starting anyway, you can hear the ringer if you call on it;
how would you do, without usb debugging enabled, to use this electronic technology as a specific usage, like a wifi AP or a usb key?
in an other words, what is the method to restore it and to take the control of it?
you just have a usb mouse can be connected on it. but no display.
[this is mainly destinated to avoid throwing several android hardware to bin, cause it can still poweron.]
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
Hey everyone, can you test your screen mirroring feature on your phone and tell me if it works? I can't find many bug reports about it. For me it doesn't work.
My OnePlus 6 can presently cast the screen directly to my Roku stick and Roku TV without any issues.
I bought a 7 Pro (Oxygen OS 9.5.3 GM21AA) and enabled "wireless display" and this is what happens:
- I select Cast from the drop-down notification bar
- It searches forever without finding anything
- I click Settings
- It finally finds and shows me my available Roku device (or any TV that has screen mirroring)
- I select the one I want
- It says connecting
- instead of connecting, the list of eligible devices, including the one I am connecting to goes blank
- The list gets reset and nothing is connecting
Any attempt to try again, after I reset my phone, restarted my modem and my WiFi etc gives me the same situation.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I hate when older devices work great and newer ones don't. Both are running Android 9.
No? Just me? Lol
Hi, for me it works. Chromecast, shield tv, google home or integrated cast.
BUT, there is an issue with the resolution, my tv is 1080p, source too, but I have black margins around..
@cainman
1. You must have WIFI enable to be able to use Screen Mirroring.
2. Go to Cast setting and tap the 3dots and enable it.
Been Mirroring my device my device since day 1 without problems.
I have a cheap cinese tablet (a teclast P80X, see http://www.teclast.com/en/zt/P80X/) that does not directly support screen sharing/casting, wireless display or whatever else is that called.
I'd like to mirror the display to a Samsung smart TV but I'd be okay also to mirror the display to the Windows HTPC that is connected to the TV.
Any reasonably working options? Most of the apps available on the Play Store are just wrappers around the built-in wireless display support that is not available on this tablet. TIA.

There are mobile app/PC program combinations that work together to share the screen to your PC if they are both on the same wireless network. If you have a PC or a laptop, you can use these app/program combinations to share the tablets screen to the PC or laptop then connect the PC or laptop to the smart tv via the PC input port on the tv and the PC or laptop's screen will be displayed on the TV.
It's a bit of a roundabout, but, given that your hardware does not support screen sharing, you will not find a software solution to achieve this, you will have to use some kind of external hardware.
If you can find an app on the tv that has a companion app for your tablet that work together in the same manner as the mobile app/PC program combinations.
A Google search for
"Share android screen to PC over Wifi"
Should find many android/PC screen sharing solutions. Find one that works and that you are comfortable with, use it to share your tablet display to PC/laptop then connect the PC/laptop to the TV. I do this myself when the need arises, it works for me when needed.
So i ended up using scrcpy (https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy) which is just great. The only catch is that you need adb/usb debug which was not a problem in my case.
