Hello, few days ago my phone's screen stopped working. So I cannot access my phone since its locked behind pattern lock. I tried with ADB but I keep getting ADB Device Unauthorized and I don't know how to fix that.
As far as I know I believe USB Debugging is enabled. I tried a lot of ways with useless one click apps, mirror screen apps but nothing work as I need to unlock phone to give permission to the computer to communicate with the phone, but I cannot do that since the device screen doesn't work and I cannot see anything. I have an OTG cable and tried to unlock with mouse but its easier said than done.
Can someone give me any tutorials.
It requires a couple of your phones internal software switches to be set in order to access your phone via the USB interface. If you have not already set these switches before the screen got broken you may be out of luck.

Hello,
I've got a GS3 that I need to get pictures off of. The digitizer and lcd are both broken. The phone turns on but the screen is black. There's a lock code on the phone so I have to unlock it to put it in media mode, which is the problem. The phone is not rooted and it's got stock ROM. I've been searching for two days now for a way to get the pictures off of this phone. There's solutions out there that involve connecting a mouse and entering the unlock code but that won't work as the screen will not turn on. Tried adb but the device is not detected. Any help would be GREATLY apprecitated.
Got it figured out. Hooked up a keyboard to the phone (as opposed to mouse as other forums suggested) and was able to type in the unlock code. I had kies running so as soon as I typed the unlock code and hit enter I unplugged the keyboard and plugged the phone into my computer and I was able to transfer everything to my pc via kies.
Glad to see you posted your solution. That will go a long way towards helping others.
My gf broke her galaxy s7 by dropping it. The screen is totally black, but the phone starts up and what not ( can hear the noises). I had the insurance through AT&T so the replacement phone was only $112. Anyways is there anyway to enable USB debugging on the phone from the PC. I have downloaded minimal Adb and fast boot, but when I open up the prompt and typed in "ADB shell." It said no devices or emulators found. The phone is showing up as a G930A on my PC, but when I goto access it everything is blank. I have tried Dr fone (does not support S7) and smart switch. Is there anyway to get into this phone. I am trying to make sure I have all her info saved before shipping the phone back.
I know of no way to enable USB debugging without a working screen. If the phone has a passcode, this will reduce the likelihood of being able to enable the debug option.
There is no passcode, but based on your info and what I have been finding searching around no one seems to think its really possible.
Thanks
Hi all!
Unfortunately, I dropped my OP6 at a gig last night and the screen is decimated, cannot see anything and I cannot interact with it.
I took some photos and videos that I really want to keep but as wifi is off Photos will not back up.
My hope is to switch on wifi using adb, not sure if that is even possible but before I can try this I need to authorise adb on the device, which I cannot do with the screen being in the state it is.
I can see the device when issuing adb devices but of course it tells me it is unauthorised. Is there a way I can authorise adb on this phone to allow me to switch on wifi?
All of the research leads me to solutions where the digitiser is broken but the screen is still visible and the issue is solved using OTG adapter, this solution will not work for me.
Any feedback is very much appreciated!
Thanks!

If you have the developer options already activated and have already used adb with your phone in your computer I think it authorizes automatically.
In my case I don't have to authorize my phone every time.
If you haven't done this I think there aren't much options but to replace the screen
Hi There,
That is my problem, I have not yet used ADB with this device so I had not yet authorsied ADB on the device.
So far I have not uncovered a way of doing this, it looks like I will be losing a lot of photos and videos
Hello, I just broke the screen of my OnePlus8t Verizon network unlocked phone. The computer I previously linked 8t with also has a broken screen. ... Rains it ..... My Phoe has some important information in docs and screenshots I need to get. I just turned off ADB debugging thinking "Oh I don't need that just yet" the very morning I broke the LCD. Good news, I can still answer it. I already have adb.exe except in ADB shell it shows as unauthorized. I need those files like yesterday. I have an otg/ADB flash drive, but I still can not connect to retrieve files. I can see my phone when I directly connect to comp without the flash drive, however, I can not access it. I have tried to put the phone into recovery, but I have no way to enter the pin as I have tried to guess where it is. How can I receive the data I need from my phone?
Thank You.
P.S. I have little knowledge and only learn what I need to know for whatever project, in other words, I can not code and I barely speak dos.
Is the touch screen still working then?
If it's showing "unauthorized" you can try to plug it into your desktop and then hit the "authorize" button on the popup that you can't see.
Here is where ok is on a different phone. It's somewhere near there on yours.

I have tried that. The finger print unlock screen only works ⅔ of the time. I have no way of knowing if it's unlocked. I keep my touch sounds silent. I keep trying to find where it might be. I have tried to slide as if answering a call. Is there a way to force the USB settings for media transfer? Maybe through Google? If any platform knows it's my phone is Google. I can go to the play store and push apps onto it. Unfortunately the two adb drivers I have installed on my Android didnt work.
Oh, actually, you've got it easier! The OnePlus 8t supports HDMI over USB Type C.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/does-one-plus-8t-have-video-out-through-usb-c.4465629/
Buy an adapter and hook up an HDMI monitor/TV.
Or just use a new monitor on the computer that is already authorized.
Is there any other way. Right now it is not with in the budget to afford any extras even with the price tag of $20. I am hoping there is a way within an adb shell to force turn on the adb debugging. I have developer options enabled. I would just rewrite the documents, except some of those items I need include the text messaging history. If I can't force the adb, can I remotely back up the phone? Is there a trustworthy app for that? I do have quick settings installed and if my memory is correct, I believe I have sideline installed even.
So a bit of a conundrum, my sisters Samsung ZFlip3 has had some screen damage, and the bottom half of the screen has stopped working this morning so we are unable to unlock the phone.
Due to this we are unable to use Samsung smart switch but need to be able to unlock the phone to allow the smart switch to start.
Tried to use the ADB tool however, even though Windows detects the phone, the ADB tool cannot "see" the device, which I'm guessing is because the screen cannot be unlocked after a restart.
The Samsung Remote unlocking is not activated so cant backup using the Samsung "Find my phone" web app.
Can access Recovery mode fine, so not sure if anything can be done using that?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Did you try Google's Find my Phone too?
You could only wipe it from Recovery but it will still ask for the last used PIN or Google Account password, so not a solution either.
Another solutiom would be connecting an external mouse and writing the PIN by memory or casting the phone screen on another screen.

Thanks for that suggestion, not sure why I didn't think of that myself. The usb keyboard trick worked like a charm! Currently backing up the device!
Thanks again!
I'm glad everything worked out in the end
