Hi so heres the problem. My phone got cracked and the touch does not work at all. I am trying to use screencast to control the phone from my computer which requires ADB. The problem is the phone was never used that way before. USB debugging is enabled and when I plug the phone in I get the pop asking to allow usb debugging and says RSA key fingerprint etc.
The problem is I cannot click Ok or always allow! Is there anyway to manually add my rsa key fingerprint (through recovery adb or something) so this popup will not come up and it will just allow it? Or somehow disable/bypass this?
Hey guys,
I cant unlock my lockscreen on Galaxy Note 3 anymore. No entered PIN is accepted. The USB debugging is deactivated and stock recovery installed. Unfortunatly I have important data on my phone which isnt recoverable otherwise. So my main questin is how can I activate USB debugging without access to the phone. In best case the solution is possible without KNOX void.
Thanks in advance

Edit: I'm at least one firmware version behind. I can't specify exact version number.
Hi all,
I greatly need your help or some advice. I searched for more than 6h yesterday and Im surprised I couldnt find a solution to my problem.
Typical stuff : I broke the screen of my Nexus 4, that is completely stock 5.0.1. The phone is unrooted, bootloader is locked and obviously USB Debugging is disabled.
I need to backup some data from my phone : pictures, notes and if possible my contacts.
When I connect my phone via USB to my PC, I cant browse my files since my screen is locked. My screen is not responding at all, so no way I can unlock it. Only thing I can do is install new applications on my phone, but no way to launch them since I'd need to unlock my screen again.
I have installed adb and fastboot in order to try and use Android Screen Control, but I dont have USB Debugging enabled.
So I read that I could sideload a kernel that has USB Debugging enabled by default.
I got into Recovery Mode, and tried sideloading a zip file containing a Kernel found on the forum, but I always get an error saying the footer is wrong and the signature of the file didnt pass verification. I guess I can only sideload OTA updates ?
I tried fastbooting CWM recovery, that also didnt work.
adb devices command lists my 'recovery' device.
At this stage, all I need is to either be able to unlock my phone so I can access my files via USB (i tried few apps without success), or to enable USB debugging so I can connection using sideload, use Android Screen Control, reset the pattern lock, and backup my phone.
Also, USB OTG isnt enabled by default on Nexus 4, so that's another dead-end
So what are my options ? Where could I find a kernel that has USB Debug enabled, and how can I sideload it considering phone is not rooted, and bootloader is locked (unlocking it and whipping data defies the purpose).
THANK YOU for any advice!
There is nothing you can do with a locked bootloader and no custom recovery. Sorry man, but you're not going to be able to access your data.

I've exactly the same problem, but my bootloader is unlocked and I'm rooted.
I'm also on a Nexus 4 with 5.0.1 and I'm trying to get control over my device from my Windows PC. But I don't know which kernel to use and how (yet) to enable USB debugging.
Help is appreciated.

All you need is a custom recovery to boot into to access your files. If you don't have one, download the latest version of twrp from here. http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/mako
Then flash that using fastboot. If you need help let us know.

Hmm, "error: cannot load 'open recovery-twrp-2.3.2.3-mako'.
Sure usb-debugging doesn't have to be enabled?

You have an ancient version of twrp. Install the latest. I'm positive you don't need usb debugging enabled.

Yes, you're so right! I also missed .img in the command
But what kernel would you recommend me to use so I have usb-debugging I can have usb-debugging enabled?
I am in almost completely the same situation! My N4 fell yesterday and shattered at the bottom right hand corner. No the touch screen doesn't work and there are sections of the screen that are black. However, I have...
root
cwm recovery
stock 5.0.1 kernel
windows 7
adb not working
fastboot working
usb debugging disabled
a need for usb debugging to become enabled.
I would like a kernel with usb debugging enabled and instructions on how to install it. Or if you have another fix, instructions on that.
Hi
I have a nexus4 that has a broken screen, it is, it doesnt react to the finger touch, and doesnt have usb debug enabled
What could i do to extract the files from there?
I have seen that connecting a mouse via usb is not an option as this device is not compatible with that, so i think the only option i have is to flash the device to have usb debugging enabled
Is there any other option i can explore?
Thanks
I am sure that you can enter your recovery assuming that your power + vol button is still functioning.
Try to connect your device using Wug Tool and use the tool to back up all the files.
Give it a try and let us know.

Yes, i can get in recovery, but, i assume i would need to unlock the bootloader first, isnt it? If i do it, i will erase all the documents inside
Hi
I have tried getting into recovery, but, as expected, as usb debugging is not enabled, i cant see the device from adb
So, the key question is... how can i enable usb debug in a device with the screen broken and with bootloader locked, without wiping the data?
Thanks
It is possible to turn on usb debugging?
I have clean phone - after factory reset.
Hi,
dont know if here is the correct section, if isnt tell me.
i have a samsung galaxy s7 edge that the screen does not work (its black) but the touchscreen still alive, now the problem is that i have some data i want to backup but i cant unlock the phone beacuse i dont know if im using a wrong password or something else... i can think of some solutions, but i dont know if they are possible.
1) download some apps to screen mirroring the phone on my pc: the usb debugging mode is not enabled.
2) enter into recovery mode and use the adb: the pc recognize the phone but when i tried to use the commands adb shell,push,pull... reponse with "error: closed" msg, i think its because usb debugging mode is not enabled.
3) clone the memory of the phone and install it on some emulator or another phone???
4) i have another s7 edge, change the screen until i backup the data???
Someone can help me or give me some tips? i dont know what to do now, im googling a lot and anything works, all because USB DEBUGGING isnt enabled, perhaps if i can enable it using the adb without unlock the phone (remember i dont know if im using the correct password i need some tries).
Thank you,
Cheers.
