Hello. I was wondering if you can access or mirror a phone with a failed LCD screen.
The screen has stopped working on my redmi note 8 but it vibrates turning on an off so hopefully it's still working. Can I plug it in with a usb cable to the laptop??
Thanks

You should need USB debugging enabled previously. Or in an unlocked device, installing a ROM that has it by default. Or in an unlocked device, modding the default properties within the boot image by unpacking/repacking it and then flashing it back.

If USB-Debug ( aka ADB ) got enabled on phone then it should be possible to access phone's Android filesystem by means of ADB even if its screen is failing.

There is more to USB debugging that just enabling ADB, your statement is a bit misleading.
What are the chances the screen has died? Do they die. I was thinking of replacing the screen as an easy test for the sake of £15.

Android users need help with my phone! I am trying to manually turn on USB debugging (to access files on phone through update thru ADB mode in recovery options, I can install the driver for the phone but won't work until USB debugging is turned on) while my phone cannot boot into the OS. Is there a secret way to turn on USB debugging through recovery mode? (I do not want to wipe the data, and phone unfortunately is not rooted)
USB debugging has nothing to do with adb via recovery. It is an Android only setting. Recovery cannot use it and does not need it.
Adb doesn't work in stock recovery. I wrote a useful thread for people who are new to adb, as you are. You can get to it via the link in my signature. The thread is called "adb and fastboot. What isn't?".
It teaches you how to set it up and use it correctly.

My main issue is that I am trying to retrieve my non backuped data on the phone and the phone itself will not boot into the Android OS.
I have looked into unlocking the fastboot/bootloader but it will wipe the data which would be pointless.
The data on the phone is more critical to me than the phone itself (and yes I was dumb enough to not back it up, didn't expect a flagship phone less than a year to crash on me, but I have learned for next time).
I am looking for any possible way to retrieve the data. I have tried to access the phone from the computer but I cannot access it since USB debugging is turned off and the phone is not rooted or doesn't have any other modifications.
Is there any way at this point I can retrieve the data off the phone with a non bootable OS and locked and stock Android OS?
Y is it non bootable?

You are stuck. Stock recovery, locked bootloader, and OS will not boot. As RootSU mentioned, USB debugging has nothing to do with this. Stock recovery will not connect to adb.
Unless you can get the phone to boot looks like data is lost. Sorry.

Expect it from every electronic device. Especially expensive and complicated ones.
So I actually had warranty left from Google (bought directly from Google) and was going to RMA it but I decided not to because the data on there is important to me and worth more than the phone itself (yes I should of backuped everything but oh well what can I do now). And I bought a new phone so this Nexus 5 will be my little side project to try and revive it; somehow.
I will try to keep going at it, I have small programming/coding skills but it would be nice to find a way to open up the USB debugging option on the locked stock phone somehow that doesn't bootup.
Any suggestions on where I should start to start testing different "procedures"?
Hello guys, my phone dropped today and half of the screen is not working anymore. Also the touch does not seem to work. The problem is I just want to copy my photos to my computer but i cant because of the phone is locked and it needs a pattern password to unlock. Is there anyway without replacing the screen to copy my photos or unlock the phone. Thank you.
Hi,
You can plug an OTG cable and plug in a mouse to work around the touch screen issue. Other possibility is trying to boot in recovery mode to manage the files via USB, though I'm not sure if it would allow you to access internal data using adb or not.
All the best,

Hey i do have the USB OTG and i plugged in a mouse to try to enable the adb debugging but the problem is that i can't see the screen so i am working blindly and trying to 'guess' where i should click.
The thing is i can unlock my phone with the fingerprint, but when i connect it to the computer the files do not show, i believe there is a button i have to click to enable MTP ?
I really can't believe its that hard to copy some files from my phone just because the screen is black
Hi,
Yes there is a button to enable MTP and it is in fact hard to enable it without looking at the screen. Have you tried booting in Recovery to access your files?
All the best,

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I dropped my Pixel 1 too many times tonight, and the screen died. The phone is still functional, and I would like to be able to mirror it on my PC using Vysor, but for some reason, it seems to have lost the USB debugging rights, as adb devices shows "unauthorized".
Is there any way I can authorize USB debugging so that I can access my device via adb and mirror the screen?
Thanks.

Not sure, but doesn't the device automatically goes into Debugging Mode when entered into recovery mode? I think at least you can access the internal storage then. Not sure if it works, but you can give it a shot and report here.

Thanks for the reply. That might be my last resort. However, while I'm still able to unlock my device with my fingerprint, I'd like to exhaust all my options to gain remote access to my phone via a connected PC, if possible.
Once I reboot, without a working touchscreen, my options would be much more limited since I won't be able to unlock my device.
Title. The charging etc still works but no display. But if I plug into pc, the default is charging, I can't select the transfer mode. ADB/developer mode is enabled
Phone is rooted. If there is any way to get to my photos/files I'd greatly appreciate any advice. Am planning to send phone for repair to Oneplus but they wipe data.
Try this if you have adb access.

Tried launching it. I'm 99% sure I enabled usb debugging and pretty sure I enabled adb. But I still get "device unauthorized" when I try to access the adb shell

Adb needs Authorization. You have to guess and click "Allow" if touch is working.
Adb works only if you have previously authorised the pc. If you have authorised some pc(even OS change matters) before, you can try using that.
Sadly our device doesn't support DisplayPort over type-c i.e. type -c to hdmi.
Do you have TWRP installed ? If yes, you can try boot into TWRP and connect your phone to your PC.

Hello. I'm an owner of a Xiaomi Redmi 9A and I have following rooting problems with it:
1. while beeing in phone's fastboot mode and after sending from the computer's terminal (after sucessfull connection):
"fastboot oem unlock"
the phone "thinks" for a short bit before restarting itself without doing anything
2. I have a Xiaomi account bound to the phone and when selecting the "check unlock state" the phone ask me to turn off wifi, enable the (paid) data transfer and bind the phone to the account
3. while using the official Xaiomi unlock tool (with was downloaded from the phone producer's website), the phone isn't even seen in it
Could anyone help me ?
Try installing usb drivers or the phone will never be detected.

in case of adb and fastboot, I had used them on Linux.
Only the official unlocking tool was for Windows, on with the usb drivers were installed.
Linux detect it without any issue

thanks, but it seem to don't work correctly with my phone.
After my phone had become detected when was in the fastboot mode and after clicking the "select" button in the app, the phone has rebooted to the normal mode and asked to scan again. It hasn't done anything except the mentioned above.

Did you enable usb debugging on developer settings?
Did you allow the usb debugging for the actual computer?

The cable is new and I won't wipe my Linux to install a Windows (about with I have a bad opinion)
Make a dual boot, just resize partition, you need 30Gb and in 45min you will know what is the problem.
Or you can try to liveboot windows from usb stick.

Question: Why do you push so much on me to install Windows?
This forum is dedicated to mobile phones and my topic is about anormal phone behaviour of a phone while attempt to root it. Wiping out a safe Linux and installing a Windows won't help at all....
I tryed to root the phone on friend's laptop with a Windows (with the latest drivers and software installed) and it didn't worked.
I suspect that the producer probably has fabrically instaled a damaged or improper firmware
As you wish. Windows is more device friendly. I just suggest to do it on W, nothing more.
You state that fastboot works, but Linux don't see your phone, like in case you don't have drivers for adb. We don't know if you installed everything on Linux properly

hello. You had missread my post. I wrote that it isn't seen only in the unlock software. Fastboot and ADB detect it correctly
