Hi, I've found my old Xiaomi Redmi 4A with a cracked screen, we cannot see anything, it was on a custom rom, so I do have TWRP installed, I don't know if I have root on it. And, I would know if that would be possible to use the phone as a computer webcam ?
Maybe when we are in twrp we can do something ?
Yes you can. If you already have approved your PC for USB debugging, you can mirror the screen using scrcpy. If you want to use your phone as a webcam, you can either download DroidCam or IP Webcam. Either supports wireless or wired connection
Cool ! Thanks for this fast answer !!

I recently purchased the Lenovo S6000L tablet for the purpose of traveling. I wanted a large screen (10.1) tablet that could do the basic functions of a laptop, without having to lug around my 17.3 inch HP laptop to and from work/etc. My issue is, I work for a company that will not allow us to access their WiFi (security reasons), but we can use any LAN. I purchased an OTG cable and a USB to Ethernet converter. To my surprise, my Lenovo tablet wouldn't recognize the converter, thus, not allowing me to access the internet via the OTG cable. After that failure, I decided to root my tablet, which I did. Even with the root I can't seem to tweak the tablet to allow the internet connection bridge to work. Being P/O, I decided to go a step further by flashing a custom ROM to the tablet in hope that a different ROM would read and react to the OTG setup, but I'm unable to find a ROM that would work. Well their you have it, this is my big issue. Even though those are the steps I've taken or are willing to take, doesn't mean It's the only thing I'm looking to do, I'm open to anything that will work. So I desperately ask, does anyone have or know of a solution for me to use a RJ45 ethernet cable on this S6000L Lenovo tablet?
P.S. I've hooked up the USB to Ethernet to my PC and it worked, so it's not faulty. I've hooked up a flash drive to my tablet via the OTG cable and that worked also, so the OTG cable works as well.

you cannot use like that because to use internet from other device to android you must use reverse tethering method and it can be done only from connecting it to a laptop or pc
so yyou cant use internet directly from lan cable to your tab
I don't want to use it from another device.

I'm not using it from another device, I'm only using it and want to use it from a router and/or directly from a modem. I only hooked the adapter to my laptop once just to verify the adapter was working.

yes i understood your question
i said there is no way to use internet in tab from lan cable
The Nexus 7 tablet does it.

Corrections for the above reply: I misread your reply. In theory, reverse tethering is the same method. A source that contains internet(PC) that you bridge to your tablet and gives it internet. The Nexus 7 is one tablet that allows you to bridge a RJ45 to the tablet for LAN access, and their are others. My best guess is it's an software issue that Lenovo has blocked, but I'm looking for a way around it. I don't know if they added anything specific to the stock that is killing that use or is it just that the adapter I purchased isn't compatible with what I believe is Linux based software. As I said, I will travel any path to victory, even if I have to flash software that's used on the Nexus 7, if possible.
Sorry for the delay, I'm at work and people keep coming to me.
Houston, I believe I have a solution to my problem!!
I have no clue why I didn't think about it earlier but all it may take to remedy my issue can be spelled with one word, Portable Wireless Router. Ok, that's 3 words, but who cares! I don't. Whenever I'm in a situation where LAN is available but WLAN isn't, I figure all I would have to do is to plug the LAN into my soon to be purchased TP-LINK TL-WR702N 150Mbps Wireless N Nano Router. And BOOM! my own private WiFi hotspot.
I am trying to get some help for my sister who needs to get her data from here Galaxy S6 but her screen is cracked with no visible display. In order to access the data she needs to put the phone into USB debugging or click her phone to allow her laptop access. With a broken screen she is unable to do either of those, and she has also tried using Kies, a newer Samsung app and that thing where it remotely detects your device but none of it has worked.
She has an otg cable with TV-Out but it isn't her S6. Would using another otg cable as a bridge between her phone and her TV-Out otg cable work? I would prefer a more simple solution than this as I am not in the same country as her so I'm not there to see what is going on for myself.
Thank you,

Unfortunately you can't do tv out on the s6 via otg, it doesn't have that function. The only other option is maybe connecting a mouse or keyboard via otg to try and allow access.
She does have a mouse she can put in but if she can't see the screen she can't click the prompt to allow access. There isn't a way of circumventing that prompt to get access to the files?
Hi everyone,
Sadly, I broke the screen and digitizer of my beloved OP3T :crying:
The bootloader is unlocked, android is rooted and I have TWRP as recovery.
Unfortunately, usb debugging is disabled as my banking application refused to work when it was enabled.
I don't plan to replace the screen as the A3010 as poor/non-existent 4G support here in europe, I didn't know that when I bought that phone
I would like to use the phone as a media player or home automation system through a DisplayLink adapter, but I have trouble to set it up blindly.
I tried to use this tool but I wasn't able to connect to the phone.
I think I manage to enable usb debugging with adb in twrp recovery but I'm not 100% sure. It keeps saying "state: rejected", I don't know if that means that usb debugging is disabled or that I need to approve my host PC (which I can't without the digitizer working)...
Plan B was to use a DisplayLink adapter...
I installed "DisplayLink Presenter" on my OP3T through the play store but It displays nothing on the external monitor.
Maybe I need to unlock the phone first? But I can't type the pin code without a digitizer...
I'm out of idea so your help would be very welcome :good:
Regards,
Cédric
TL;DR: Is it possible to install a USB > DisplayLink adapter on a phone with broken screen and digitizer?
Hi,
I am a member of a lab where I can't enter with my phone (galaxy s10) for RF interference reasons.
I'd like to be able to use my phone from inside the lab when it's outside and even use it's internet connection.
What I do have in the lab is an Ethernet connection, and I have an ethernet adapter for my phone. The phone isn't rooted, I can't root it and don't want to root it. There's no internet access on the existing ethernet to the lab.
This issue bothers also my lab partners and we can't connect this lab to internet permanently.
my questions:
1. I'd like to remote control my phone over a PC (windows or linux) in the lab - is it possible to do this over LAN? I want to be able to access my whatsapp and Gmail, to know when I have a call etc... (like mstsc in windows, but to control an android)
Airdroid remote control doesn't work because my phone isn't rooted and it can do this only by USB...
2. Assuming that I put an ethernet switch where my phone is left, and me and my friends connect our phones to the switch, Is it possible to use the android's built-in ethernet tethering for each of us and use somehow directly the internet connection of our phone?
if you ask why, it's because we want a stable connection and not to rely on one friend's tethering.
a 4G dongle isn't an option (anyway, it's a switch, and putting a router is forbidden).
I know that the requirements are a bit strange, but this is the case.
Thank you for the help!
If phone's Android is rooted, and if phone has an appropriate Ethernet driver installed, and if phone is OTG capable, and if on phone the Ethernet app is installed, then you should be able to tether phone via LAN with computer.

It's not rooted, so maybe there's an alternative?
you can use teamviewer it's nice there's a PC to Android
and Android to Android control

Good idea. Is it only in the paid version of teamviewer?
Is there also another app that does it? I found somethink like apuppet, but I'm not sure it is what I need.
Thanks

Only to have said it: TeamViewer requires on both ends a vaild Internet connection to work, it's a wireless solution.

I think that it's also possible to work offline when connected to a LAN without interbet, but as far as I understand, it's only available in the full version of teamviewer for android.

As I can see I was obviously mistaken.
The Touchscreen on my device is entirely unresponsive, which leads me to believe that the digitizer broke (the display is fine and i already tried disconnecting and reconnecting the displays ribbon cable). I already bought a new device but this old phone has some data that i would like to access. I have tried to connect both keyboards and mice to it but it seems to not accept USB connections before entering the password. I tried 2 OTG adapters that work on other devices but not with this one. I can't connect with adb either. is there a way for me to enter my password and gain access to my data?
The OPPO Find X2 Lite has OTG support. Keep trying.

i assumed that it supports OTG, but since my devices didn't connect i thought the phone might reject usb connections before it's unlocked. is this false? i also noticed that it supports otg 1.3 and 2.0, but my otg device is 3.0 . could that be the reason it didn't work?
*edit: it also connects the keyboard in recovery mode
i tried using OTG 2.0 and it didn't work either. predictable but still disappointing.
In order to use OTG you must enable it first in settings every time you want to use it, but with no digitizer you can't do it.. oppo messed up things by not doing this automatically or at least gave us the option to have it always enabled..
