I was wondering if there is any way to get files of my mi mix 3 with a broken screen. There is no video and the digitizer might also be broken.
The internals are still fine since it charges, boots and connects to the wifi.
I don't have USB debugging enabled and the fact that my model can't connect to a USB hub to use a monitor and mouse doesn't make this easy.
Are there any options left to get some kind of access to my device without purchasing a replacement screen?
Maybe yes or maybe not. Read first:

Hi there, My nexus 5 is having screen issues and the screen basically doesn't function due to what I can only assume is a bad connection on the mainboard ( if I press in the right area with the back cover off the screen will flicker and work a tiny bit if I reboot the phone.) My issue is I still have tons of pictures that are very dear to me on the device and need to get them off of it. When I connect it to my pc (windows 7) it connects and shows up as a nexus 5 device but nothing will appear in the folder. Im fairly certain I have the correct drivers installed as well. So how can I get it to connect properly with having basically no access to the screen? Ill even paypal you $5 if your answer works for me, thanks
Did you enable USB debugging? Did you enable MTP when connected to a computer? Is the computer a trusted device?

must have at some point because i connected it to a computer in the past, no idea and i dont know how to, and i dont know.
If the the phone is running a stock ROM and has a lock screen PIN, pattern, or password, you probably need to unlock the phone and select MTP as the USB option in order to have the Nexus 5 files appear in Windows Explorer.
If you have access to another N5, you could swap motherboards, copy the data, and swap motherboards again.
I made an album with a ton of photos of what I've got access to. Hopefully it helps

I bought a display unit at an auction and it's in android's Kiosk mode. I'd like to be able to use the screen for a few things but I really want to get access to Chrome at a minimum.
I got a keyboard hooked up to it via bluetooth but I'm having difficulty getting anything else done. It's only got an ethernet port and micro USB, no other buttons to get into a boot recovery that I can find. After breaking it down a bit, it does have what appears to be UART pads on the motherboard. I don't know if it helps any but I've got a UART adapter. Plugging the device in via USB only shows "MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM (Android)" and not much else. It shows up in device manager as 2 storage devices.
Any help getting me up and running will be met with hi-fives!
Thanks guys.
Damn I think I got into the bootloader but it's in chinese.
Hi guys,
I had Oneplus 6 for the last couple of years (stock recovery, no-root), and the screen shattered last week. since then I bought a new phone, but I can’t extract files from the old device.
The main problem is the MTP options is not checked, as well as USB debugging therefore I don't have access to it with the windows explorer . However, I think the touch is still works (at least at the bottom of it) and beside the screen – the OP6 is fully functional and my PC recognize it.
I tried to enable it via ADB, but the device is not authorized. What can I do to get my vids and pics back?

I guess the question is how broken is your phone? You cannot use adb, I think, until you enable usb debugging in developer options. To enable developer options you need to go to "about the phone" and click on build number like 7 times.
You can try uploading to google drive, or maybe use a bluetooth/maybe even usb mouse
EDIT:
I googled your problem, and this person recommends using an accessibility feature. Maybe this could help?
Hi, i had the same problem and i was going nuts with it. But i found a solution! As long as your digitizer still works, you press both up and down volume buttons at the same time for 3 seconds, and it will activate the talk back mode. You'll have to get used to it, because it's a bit finicky, but once you understand the mechanics of it, you connect your oneplus to a PC, through a USB cable, go to configurations, bluetooth & connections, USB options and select file transfer. Once you do that, you'll have access to your phone internal drive in the computer.
Hope this was helpfull!
Hey and thank you for your answer. Actually it sounds like a decent solution, but pressing the volume buttons did not turn on the talkback mode =\

Uh, that sucks. It only works once the phone is unlocked. So if you did that, made sure that you volume is on, you are not connected to Bluetooth headphones or anything like that then I donno. You might have to convince a local repair shop to give you a loner screen to get your data out for a reduced price or something. Or try clicking blindly in the right spots. Or maybe somebody comes along with a better idea.
Android phones do not support external displays, right?
I don't know about the displays, but I'll go to a lab tomorrow because i ran out of ideas
thank you for your help, I appreciate your time mate :good:
I have a Oneplus 5 phone with a broken screen from about 4 years ago, the screen is entirely black and does not show anything, touch also does not work.
I want to mirror the device's screen to a monitor so I can set it up as an IP camera to record my cat giving birth.
I'm pretty sure I have usb debugging enabled since I last used it, so far I have tried:
1. connecting to a usb-c dock with HDMI to a monitor, but apparently Oneplus 5 does not support MHL.
2. tried using Vysor and Scrcpy, both work on my Galaxy Note 9 (main phone) but I have to unlock the phone and allow permissions to use ADB, since I don't have a working screen or touch on my Oneplus 5 this didn't go so well.
additional info that might be helpful:
I tried connecting the phone to a keyboard and entering the PIN (I'm pretty sure I remember it correctly) but I can't tell if it does anything.
the phone is functional, in fact, a tiny corner of the screen (bottom right) responds to touch and I can draw V gesture to turn on flash.
Vysor recognizes the phone, but upon clicking "view" it says: "The connected Android device requires pairing confirmation. click the "allow USB debugging" prompt on your android". but again, I don't have a working screen, and I cant have a keyboard connected to the phone and PC at the same time (unless there is a way I don't know of).
Is there any way I can get screen mirroring working on this device? it's been sitting in a drawer for 4 years waiting for this moment, I don't even care about recording my cat giving birth anymore... I just want this to work!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have a OnePlus Nord N100 that I dropped off a ladder... I ordered a new phone (screen replacement seemed to not be worth the hastle on such a cheap phone when replacement kit was 60$) but would like to re-purpose the device for something as I am very against e-waste.
I would like to make it a security camera. If I can get ADB shell access it should be possible to install termux and run some linux command line utilities for this (i.e. motion and rclone to upload).
Problem is that without screen I cant login and turn on usb debugging. This phone uses usb 2.0 so I cannot use an hdmi display and mouse.
Is their any way I can get usb debugging enabled? I would prefer to be able to get my files off the device but most of it was backed up. Resetting is fine. I would even be down to try to re flash it with a serial programmer or something. Would their perhaps be any serial programming pads I could solder onto?

If you did not have USB debugging enabled in system settings, there is no external way to enable it. Fix the screen, otherwise, the device won't be any good for an secondary uses other than using it as a paperweight or a doorstop.
