Pixel 2 broken screen, Need to recover a file - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I tried lots of things! Can't do anything yet... I really need that file.
My USB debugging is not turned on, if it was I'll be ok. I found that if you copy the adbkey.pub from your users directory to the phone it
will bypass the USB debugging function, but can't push it with adb.
I can only boot in recovery and use fastboot or adb but with no access to the phone... I don't have TWRP installed.
I tried to flash TWRP with: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
and I got an error telling me: FAILED (remote: 'No such partition.')
Probably because USB debug is not enabled... again...?
EDIT: tried to make me a walkthrough for the keyboard using a working phone, I can get up to the settings app, there's no focus on the settings items so I can't select them...
- I have access to the fingerprint sensor, but not gonna do much since I rebooted the phone i'll need to enter the unlock code.
- I can plug in a keyboard/mouse combo in my phone, for this to work i'll need a walkthough for arrows key/enter key to press to I can enable USB debugging.
- The screen is broken(black) touch sensor also broken.
- The phone is not rooted but is OEM unlocked
- I tried several software to mirror screen, they all require USB debugging enable or accept something on the phone or both.
- I know where the file is located on the phone but I don't know it's exact name (it's a .mp3 file, not a song ) it's in /storage/emulated/0/Recorders
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

[Q] Accept RSA key for ADB with a broken screen - any ideas?

Hi All,
My GS3 has a broken screen, which displays nothing and accepts no touch input. It has an unlocked bootloader, rooted, and is running some version of CWR and a recent CM11 snapshot. The phone boots fine, is on my wifi, receives notifications, can accept Play Store app installs, etc. I figured, if I could connect over ADB, I could do a lot of neat things with the device (without replacing the screen). USB debugging is enabled, but the kicker is, I didn't "remember" my computer's RSA key, so I can't connect over ADB. I need to somehow bypass this.
Things I've thought of:
- If I could input a touch event/click, I could blindly click and hope I accepted the RSA key. With a mouse connected over USB OTG I could click, but the prompt disappears if the computer's USB cable is unplugged. I have a bluetooth mouse, but I've reflashed since the last time I paired it.
- I might be able to manually add the RSA key, by copying it from my computer and adding the line to /data/misc/adb/adb_keys. But then somehow I need to be able to write to /data. I think I might I be able to do that by booting into recovery and using adb to pull the file and push a modified one, but when I try (pull battery, hold volume up, home, power for several seconds) and connect it to my PC, nothing shows up when I run "adb devices".
- I've heard of flashing an "insecure boot image" that wouldn't ask for the RSA prompt. I wouldn't know where to start with that one and would need some hand-holding to get that done.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Hi,
Try the second method, it should work.
i pulled the adb_keys from another phone that worked, same model.
then reboot into recovery twrp on the phone with broken screen and adb push the file to the location, reboot it and it worked.
Although this thread is really old, I came across the same problem. I used teamv*er to remote control my phone from the computer. My touch screen was non-responsive, but my lcd was still working...
I am in this same situation...
Verizon Note 3
Rooted
SafeStrap
Custom Rom (Jasmine I think)
A few days ago I broke my LCD (while in an otterbox and isn't the first time... GRRRRR.) So now I want to pull files and such from the phone using ADB or use the phone via USB with androidscreencast.jnlp (java applet) but I must have never accepted my RSA fingerprint prior to breaking the screen...
Anyone had any success bypassing the fingerprint or found another method to edit /data/misc/adb/adb_keys?
I can see the phonje via ADB...
[email protected]:~# adb devices

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Please Help! Nexus 4 shattered screen

Hello Helpers, I shattered my Nexus 4 screen, and the phone has a Pin lock, and is currently in Airplane Mode with BlueTooth enabled. It does Not have USB debugging enabled.
My objective is just to pull out the video, audio, and pictures files, after which I would throw the phone away. I appreciate any feedback, or if someone can help me post a reply to "k.janku1" at the post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395 Please refer to point (4) below.
So is there a way I can enabled USB debugging or pull my files out? Following are what I have done, and none are successful in accessing the phone:
1) I have an OTG cable with a mouse. Nexus 4 would not recognize it. I did try to have this OTG Cable + Mouse plug into another Motorola phone and it worked, just not Nexus 4.
2) I plug my Nexus 4 into the PC through the USB cable, the Windows 10 recognize it but when I try to browse that Nexus 4, no files show up.
3) I installed the Android Studio 2.2.2, with various SDK (5.0 and 5.1 SDK) + Google USB driver. And then proceed to run the ADB "shell" or "devices" command located in folder "platform-tools", and the command line would tell me -- "error: no devices/emulators found", or "List of Devices attached" but with NO list of devices displayed. I even boot into Recovery Mode and the ADB command still not seeing any phone.
4) I even try the post here, and I could not get it working either -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395
i) I tried the steps listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66731042&postcount=260 but it does not work for me. The step (2) here returned me "No devices", while step (3) is sort of confusing as it involves TWRP (??) and it said BootLoader would erase all my data files!
ii) Another post here in the same thread -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62398797#post62398797 which mentions the use of "Flash through ADB". But then my phone does not have USB Debugging enabled, so how can ADB talk to the phone in the 1st place? And compile his codes in Android Studio perhaps?
iii) Another post of same thread -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=61792353#post61792353 which is lengthy and involves self-custom kernel + compile using Kernel Kitchen. Would this really work?
Thanks

I had the same of your situation i search and tried a lot of things even show the phone screen in pc but me too i didn't have usb debugging enabled, so what i did is :
Flash the stock ROM for my phone by Odin (it don't need usb Debugging enabled it is for Samsung phones) and by flashing new ROM all your files will be stay in the internal storage, after that the files will be showed in the PC, i don't know if u try that before so that is my solution

Thank you for the hint. But I doubt if this approach would work for Nexus 4. I searched online for Odin + Samsung, seems like Samsung phone has a Download mode where the phone would accept the new image file put to it. There is no such mode for Nexus 4, so the phone would not read anything in easy steps like Download mode.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 remotely enable USB debugging (broken screen)

Greetings.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with a completely broken screen (no display, no touch response).
Android version is 4.2.2.
The phone is working, as pressing the power button lights up the bottom bar.
The phone is rooted, however, USB debugging is disabled. The phone is also pattern locked.
I am aiming to gain remote access to the phone through my PC, ideally mirroring the screen so I can manually backup everything from my phone. In the worst case, backup through ADB is also acceptable.
Initially, I attempted to mirror the screen using:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395
However, it requires ADB, which in turn requires USB debugging to be enabled.
To enable USB debugging, I attempted to modify the build.prop through ADB shell in recovery mode:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335799
However, it is done so using custom recovery (TWRP) which I assume cannot be done in stock recovery (not confirmed, please respond if untrue).
I attempted to edit the build.prop manually:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g4/themes-apps/tool-edit-build-prop-pc-t3312517
But It requires USB debugging to be enabled as well, and I assume it to be true for most such tools.
I also attempted to install a custom recovery (TWRP):
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
However, out of the 3 installation methods listed, 2 require USB debugging and 1 requires application installation on the phone.
Using a USB OTG mouse to enable USB debugging would be difficult, since display is broken.
Since 4.2+ also shows a prompt to allow access to USB debugging to PCs, I assume I could use this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/bypass-secure-usb-debugging-prompt-t2965462
However, I would need ADB first, which also comes back to USB debugging.
I would prefer not repairing the phone or getting a new screen, the phone is old, i'm trying to change phones.
Data in the phone must be preserved, as much as possible. I am willing to compromise, somewhat.
ADB seems powerful enough that I could achieve my goals if only I could access my phone through it.
Is it possible to enable USB debugging remotely through some other method to allow me to use ADB?
Is it possible to flash a custom rom with an edited build.prop without screen input and while preserving phone data?
Please suggest options.

Pixel 6 Pro full backup to different phone

So I had a pixel 6 pro and unfortunately my wife got mad and threw it against the wall a few times, causing the frame to bend and entire back glass to shatter. The front LCD didn't break, but glue came apart and it separated from the frame.
I had all my 2fa accounts on there, as well as very valuable data that I need to recover.
The phone still powers on, but there's nothing visible on the screen. A local repair shop advised we start by replacing the screen and then work on transferring everything out.
I have a replacement pixel 4a and want to be prepared for when my phone comes back online.
What's the best way to backup my 6 pro and restore on the 4a?
I need everything copied as a whole image, and restored on the 4a. I want to be able to boot up my 4a, open my authenticator app, and have all my accounts listed there.
Someone please tell me this is possible, and if so, please post instructions.
Thank you in advance.
I doubt 1:1 image cloning is possible because encryption is hardware-backed and therefore device-unique. it's not even possible to restore backup on origin device after factory reset since android apps can use keystore in TEE.
side note: you could connect HDMI multiport usb-c otg adapter to TV and mouse so you have access to phone at least

The HDMI multiport didn't work. Nothing was displayed. I don't know if it's because my phone is badly damaged, or if the pixel 6 doesn't support HDMI out over USB C
I tried this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081VBSNRZ/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_5NF5RPBKZ97YW4KFW9AX
What are my other options?
the best option would be previously unlocked bootloader, so you can have full access. but you did not unlock bootloader so this is no option for you, because unlocking will factory reset device.
HDMI might require some setting or app installed on device. apps can installed remotely from PC google play with proper google play account. not sure how to start an app though, but guess app can autostart.
at least usb keyboard is working, you could try to navigate blind and enable usb-debugging, this would allow you to use scrcpy. maybe connect headphones or use talkback to get some kind of audio feedback.
of course both methods requires some information from another identical device and need to tested on fully functional pixel 6 pro before..
some (not) useful apps

This is not a full backup, but it might help you interactively recover some items without replacing the broken screen. Also, assuming this is something you're still looking to solve...
If you have adb debugging enabled, you can try to use https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy to interact with your phone over USB from a computer.
If you do not have adb debugging enabled, you can try to enable it via Recovery Mode. The steps to enable Recovery Mode below are from https://www.tenorshare.com/android/how-to-enable-usb-debugging-on-android-with-black-screen.html (I have not tried these steps).
Less:
To enable ADB without a screen:
1. Download the ADB toolkit for your computer and extract its contents to a folder.
ADB toolkit can be found at https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
ADB requires you have USB debugging enabled on your phone.
Since your phone has a black screen, reboot your phone into recovery mode to accomplish this.
Press the Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time to enter recovery mode.
2. Connect your phone to your computer, open a Command Prompt window in the ADB folder, and type the following command.
adb devices
3. You should see your device listed there.
Run the following commands one by one.
adb shell
mount data
mount system
4. Use the following command to pull the persist.sys.usb.config file from your phone to the PC.
adb pull /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config C:\Users\[your-username]\Desktop\
5. Access the persist.sys.usb.config file on your computer with a text editor and edit it to mtp,adb.
6. Run the following command to send the file back to your device.
adb push "C:\Users\[your-username]\Desktop/persist.sys.usb.config" /data/property
7. Download the build.prop file from your phone by using this command.
adb pull /system/build.prop C:\Users\[your-username]\Desktop\
8. Launch the build.prop file in a text editor like NotePad++ on your computer, and add the following code to it.
persist.service.adb.enable=1
persist.service.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb
9. Save the file and transfer the file back to your device using this command.
adb push "C:\Users\[your-username]\Desktop/build.prop" /system/
10. Reboot your device using the following command.
adb reboot
11. You are all set. Your phone will boot up with USB debugging enabled.

Phone's screen partially working, need to activate USB Debug

Hello everyone,
my phone (Xiaomi MI 9T) has fallen in the water and now it's partially working.
I really need to recover some data from it, but any method I've found on the internet requires USB Debug active. The phone turns on but it works only as long as it stays on the lock screen or if I go to settings from the notification bar. If I unlock it, the launcher doesn't work (but I can still drag down the notification's bar) and after few seconds the phone reboots I'm also able to activate the toggle of the USB Debug but it looks like it doesn't stay active because if I go back and re-enter developer's section, USB Debug is OFF.
At this point I don't really know what to do. The phone enters fastboot and recovery mode, unfortunately everything is stock, so my possibilities are limited.
I haven't tried to change the screen, but I doubt that would solve the problem, since if I stay in those specific areas, it works fine.

Due to the security implications of remotely enabling USB Debugging, the only way to enable it is through Developer Options. You can try rebooting to recovery and clearing cache although I am doubtful as to how much that might help you. If your device took a swim, you're going to be looking at repair, which will most likely result in wiping your data.

Do you know if changing the screen could solve the problem? Or do you think there's a way to copy data 1:1 on another device (such as a used mi 9t I could buy)?

How long ago was it dropped in water, have you allowed it thoroughly dry out? Can you open the body of the device to allow it to dry?

It stayed in the water for few seconds, the bottom half of it. I shut it down and I let it dry for 2 days, after removing the battery. Anyway I brought it to a center that made a treatment for electronic contacts, an they said that it's needed to change the display first, then run some tests to see what else is wrong. The problem is that changing the screen costs 130€ and, in my opinion, won't solve the issue.

Can you find a stock update for your specific model number in the form ol stock update.zip that can be flashed in your stock recovery like a OTA update? If so, you might be able to extract the build.prop file from the update then open the build.prop file in a note editor and edit the file by adding or editing lines that enable USB debugging. Then save the file. Then remove everything from the update.zip except for the Meta-inf or "updater script" file/folder then place your modified build.prop file in the update.zip so that it is the only thing in the zip other than the Meta-inf/updater script. Then put it on external sdcard, insert it into your device and boot into stock recovery then choose the option that lets you install updates from sdcard and try flashing your modified update.zip file and reboot the device, if it works, it will enable USB debugging. The next obstacle is getting past your lock screen, which is pointless if the device reboots in seconds. If you can get it to stop rebooting, you might be able to use adb to unlock the lock screen by using adb commands that simulate the touch input required to unlock the screen. You'll have to do some searching to find out the "address" and order of each part of the screen that you need to simulate the touch input on the screen in the right order. It's a bit complicated for those that aren't familiar but it can be done if you do the research.
Or,you can try connecting a USB mouse to the device and see if it will let you open the lock screen.

Plus, I don't really get why the system fails right after the lockscreen, I'm actually able to enter the code and the phone unlocks but the launcher seems not working, while the notifications bar works fine, and after some seconds the phone reboots. How can the system work fine in some aspects and bad in others at the same time? Can it be some flash memory issue?

That or kernel panic due to some other important hardware is damaged.
Maybe you can use a adb script to interrupt the running processes right after the device unlocks. Something to stop everything from loading beyond screen unlock. It might allow you to use adb to pull whatever you want from the device via adb pull commands.
Or, if there is a custom recovery for your device and if your bootloader is already unlocked(if it isn', don't unlock it, it will wipe your data), you can install the custom recovery and use it to create a backup of your data then extract your data from the backup.

Unfortunately I still have the stock recovery. Plus USB debug is deactivated. What really boggles me is the fact that I can still enter settings and get to developer options, turn ON the toggle of USB debug, but it's like the phone doesn't save the setting, cause if I go back to the main setting screen and enter again developer options, USB debug is OFF. I mean, what the hell?
Having access to device's Stock Recovery you can try as shown below to enable ADB / USB Debug ging: yes you can run Android shell commands from within Android's Stock Recovery.
Unplug device's USB-connection , boot into recovery mode. Having successfully booted into recovery mode, connect device via USB-cable with computer - what switches the USB driver to ADB mode.
Now enable USB debugging via recovery:
Code:
adb shell
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >> /system/build.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >> /system/build.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=adb,mtp" >> /system/build.prop"

Hardware damaged. You're going to have to repair the hardware or forget about retrieving your data, unless you can find a reputable shop that has the equipment and experience to pull your data directly from the chip itself.

Ok, but do you know what could be the damaged piece of hardware?

Having access to device's Stock Recovery you can try as shown below to enable ADB / USB Debug ging: yes you can run Android shell commands from within Android's Stock Recovery.
Unplug device's USB-connection , boot into recovery mode. Having successfully booted into recovery mode, connect device via USB-cable with computer - what switches the USB driver to ADB mode.
Now enable USB debugging via recovery:
Code:
adb shell
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >> /system/build.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >> /system/build.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=adb,mtp" >> /system/build.prop"
reboot

That might work but I've never had any luck with adb in stock recovery, not on the devices that I've owned, at least.

Hello everyone,
my phone (Xiaomi MI 9T) has fallen in the water and now it's partially working.
I really need to recover some data from it, but any method I've found on the internet requires USB Debug active. The phone turns on but it works only as long as it stays on the lock screen or if I go to settings from the notification bar. If I unlock it, the launcher doesn't work (but I can still drag down the notification's bar) and after few seconds the phone reboots I'm also able to activate the toggle of the USB Debug but it looks like it doesn't stay active because if I go back and re-enter developer's section, USB Debug is OFF.
At this point I don't really know what to do. The phone enters fastboot and recovery mode, unfortunately everything is stock, so my possibilities are limited.
I haven't tried to change the screen, but I doubt that would solve the problem, since if I stay in those specific areas, it works fine.
Android version: 10
MIUI 12
Thank you

Is your bootloader locked?

Yeah in fact when I type "adb shell" it gives me error, but I can enter fastboot mode and the phone is seen. Unfortunately I can't do much from there

Yeah. **** me, for once I kept everything stock and this happened . I've always rooted and customized my phones and nothing like this has ever happened.
