First try one of those methods that don't require adb to bypass the pattern and then what you could do is use a pc mouse with an usb OTG cable and try unlocking it just by trying accepting the authorization by clicking somwhere in the middle of the screen. I know it sounds kind of stupid but it could work. I've attached a picture that could help a little.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ricky Divjakovski:
ill check it out abit later and compile a few builds myself
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] k.janku1:
Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] k.janku1:
As I wrote in the first post, it gives an error the first time you open it, as it needs to extract the needed files. Just close the whole program and open it again. You'll also notice that a new folder was created called tools, which contains the droidAtScreen-1.1.jar.

Can you give me any more info? Maybe you have the same problem as AthenaLod quoted above?

The swipe to unlock button is not working on my XT907 with CM11. Should it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] k.janku1:
Thanks for the info, very relevant.

The problem with your phone is the screen resolution, completely different than most phones.

I'll upload an updated version soon with support for more resolutions, including yours.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 1dtms:
I downloaded adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321 and ran the SDK manager, I installed the platform tool packages.

with that screen open I then opened the droid@screen.

With that it still shows my screen as 'rejected' am i missing something?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] k.janku1:
A pop-up window should appear on your phone asking you to authorize your pc, if it doesn't appear, reconnect your phone
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 1dtms:
well my screen is broken on my phone and i cant see anything... thats kind've the reason why i need something like this =/

Do a Google search for

"adb backup/restore"

That will find instructions.

Create an adb backup containing the data you want to save, then extract the data from the backup.

What a stunning tool - THANK YOU!

I have a broken S7 edge and some issues, the one or other ran into as well:

1. My phone resolution is 1440x2560 and I have no screen to fit the window in. The "set resolution" and Zoom doesnt work - it resets the resolution to 1440x2560 instantanously

2. The performance via USB is bad. A screen refresh takes up to 10 sec. Is this normal?

3. I want to hit the "settings" button (3 dots) in Whatsapp opper right corner, but i cannot reach it with the arrow buttons. What now?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] coyotenq:
I have same issues, my screen size is not standard, and to solve it, i was searching more about controlling phone via ADB.

I found that u can send phone "touch" commands directly via ADB (in fact, this is that this program do, with a nice interface)

To "swipe" on the screen to custom locations, you have to calculate the coordinates and can send the command directly via ADB.

IE,

adb shell input swipe 300 300 0 300

that command, sends a swipe from the coordinates X,Y origin to X,Y destination.

or

adb shell input tap 310 470

taps on an element on the screen at this coordinates.

Obviously, its hard to estimate the correct coordinates, but, knowing the resolution, you can estimate them.

Hopes this info is useful.

Best regards!

What a great tool!

Broken LCD on Nexus 6 here.

I got Custom ROM installed and debugging always enabled!

Any help appreciated!

I am stuck with Offline status.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Droidriven:
You are probably having trouble getting past the lockscreen. There are adb commands that can simulate swiping the screen to open lockscreen. If you had a lockscreen that requires password or pin, you need to delete the pass/pin first, then you can use adb to simulate swiping the screen to open the device, then you should be able to use PC to transfer your files.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Benjamin_Mac:
Excellent program

Downloaded and had it working on the second try. Scaling was a bit fiddly but restarting the program made it happy. I am especially pleased by the Gesture control window.

Is there a way to either; increase bandwidth, reduce screenshot resolution, or increase the rate of screenshot? Do the screenshots save to the device?

Thanks for this excellent program though, could hardly ask for more :).

Broken LCD on Galaxy S6 without root and usb debugging enabled. Is it possible to fix it? :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Droidriven:
If you are asking if the broken screen can be repaired....

Yes, the LCD can be replaced. But that has nothing to do with using this tool, this tool is for recovering data from a device with a broken screen, it is not for repairing a broken screen.

You have USB debugging enabled, that means that you can use this tool to retrieve your data from the device to save it on another device, PC, sdcard, flash drive or some other storage medium.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nopins:
Hi guys, I am new to all of this, I haven't rooted my phone, I have a nexus 6 and my screen broke today and I really want my files, but I have not enabled the USB debugging. Is there any hope for me? :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Droidriven:
If you can get adb commands to work while you are booted into stock recovery, maybe.

If you can't get adb to work, maybe not.

If you don't have adb installed on your PC, boot into recovery and connect your device to PC and try some adb commands, if adv works, post here again and I'll tell you how to use adb to get USB debugging enabled.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nopins:
I installed ADB and tried the command .\adb devices, and the list of devices attached is empty.. so I guess it can't work?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Droidriven:
Yeah, that means it won't work.

The only other possibility that I can think of is to download your current firmware then extract the it until you get to the system.img, extract the system.img to get to the folders and files contained in it, then go to/system/build.prop and make a copy of the build.prop file.

Then, using a note editor, open the build.prop file and add these lines:

persist.service.adb.enable=1 persist.service.debuggable=1 persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb

Then save the edited build.prop, then put the edited build.prop in your firmware file to replace the original build.prop, then package everything back into the system.img(make sure it is named system.img), place the system.img in your fastboot folder on PC then boot into fastboot mode and connect to PC, open a terminal and type this command:

fastboot devices

If it returns a serial number, it's connected

Then flash the modified system.img using this command:

fastboot flash system system.img

After it flashes, reboot the device, USB debugging should be enabled now.

This will erase/overwrite your system data but your other user data shouldn't be touched.

If all goes according to plan, then you should be able to use this tool to recover your data.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nopins:
so I modified the system.img and when I try to place the command fastboot flash system system.img it returns :

C:\adb>fastboot flash system system.img

Sending 'system' (1549577 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error))

fastboot: error: Command failed

what is up with this hell device I am dealing with? :eek:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Droidriven:
You need to have the device booted into fastboot mode and you should have a fastboot prompt, not a adb prompt.

When you run the "fastboot devices" command, are you getting a proper response?

There is a difference between fastboot and adb.

I gave you a general rundown of how to modify and flash the system.img, do some research about modifying system.img and flashing it via fastboot, it might not be as straightforward as you think.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nopins:
the commands are fastboot commands and when I type fastboot devices it gives out a device so it finds it connected.

I get that it is complicated and have no idea how to proceed. Thank you for all the info nonetheless, you've been great!

Hello I am a bit confused and would appreciate some help. So I just destroyed my xperia X's LCD and can't see anything, so I want to enable debugging to gain control of the phone from PC. Since I have TWRP installed I got all of the files I needed out but I need to do some other things which I dont want to lose (app stuff) so it's not an emergency but would be good to do. Drivers are all set up fine and all, fastboot can see the phone normally when I connect it. However I cannot run the adb shell command, it's not finding the device.. is there anything I can do? If it is really too much work tell me, because as I said its not a necessity. Thanks in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Droidriven:
If you can boot into TWRP, you can connect to PC and use adb commands to enable USB debugging.

Just do a search for:

"How to enable USB debugging via TWRP"

Or

"How to enable USB debugging via adb"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FoxTheLegend:
Hey there, thanks for your reply. So I went to TWRP, connected the phone to the computer, adb sees the device, I ran the commands without the extra " in the end (I assume that was a typo right? because otherwise it doesnt work) and I assume that USB debugging is now ON because I can access my phone from the computer when it is booted normally (not in recovery)

However I cannot get your program to work, it doesn't detect the device for some reason? I ran with admin rights too, and I chose for adb executable the correct location (c:/adb/adb.exe)

Do I actually need to download the whole android SDK thing for this to work?

Galaxy S6 Egde

Hi there guys

I have a Galaxy S6 Edge with a broken screen (no image and no inputs). Phone is stock ROM and USB debugging not enabled.

How do I boot into recovery if I cannot see what is happening on the screen when I press the required button combination, in order to use ADB to set the phone to USB debugging enabled. I have seen some refer to method of downloading firmware (would this be from the net or somehow extract the firmware from the phone) and then change the build.prop to enable USB debugging and then flash the firmware to the phone (how do you flash if USB debugging is not enabled?)

Sorry I am a total noob. I once or twice rooted a Samsung Note 1 and Motorola Zoom tablet, but only by following the steps given.

Please help

PIN?

Well i absolutely wrecked my screen and already disconnected it from the phone so there's no way i can insert anything. Problem is that apparently ADB doesn't connect in system mode without the pin (idk but it did in recovery mode) so i can't do anything except mashing the hardware buttons.

Any tips and tricks? I reinstalled the drivers already when i was in recovery mode because the device didn't show up in ADB.

BTW i'm talking about a Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) with the newest Resurrection Remix 9.0 ROM and USB Debugging should be enabled.

Broke phone screen, can't see display at all

So I dropped my phone face down on the ground, cracked it a little bit and now the display won't work. I'm pretty sure the phone itself still works, though. I want to use my computer to get on the phone so I can transfer files from the phone to a new one, but I don't have the usb debugging stuff enabled, so I don't know how to use the program. I'm really new to all this stuff so I have not a clue what to do. Any help?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cainnub:
Is your device rooted?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] theSodo:
no, it isn't.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Droidriven:
You're probably pretty much out of luck then. You can try sending the device to a repair shop for them to use some hardware tools to retreive your data directly from the chip on the motherboard.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] theSodo:
So there's literally no way for me to mirror my phone on my computer without having the usb debugging enabled is what you're saying?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cainnub:
Yup, because ur device isnt rooted and u dont have USB debugging on u cant use this tool or get USB debugging enabled through ADB. Best option is to go to a repairshop to either get ur screen repaired or ur data copied from ur phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Droidriven:
That is another option. If you feel like you can handle replacing the LCD/digitizer/glass combination, order a replacement that comes with a complete kit(tools and all). Then find a youtube video demonstrating how to disassemble a d replace screen on devices with your model number.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ashyx:
At least state what model your phone is and which firmware build its running.? Your options are dependent on this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BorisZaharyas:
hi,

thanks for great tool. please we need more resolution options
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Droidriven:
No we do not.

Why bother with more resolution options?

This tool is not for permanent/regular use, it isn't the kind of tool that is used everyday. It is a tool that is only needed when a device is broken, it can do its job just fine even with the worst resolution possible. Performing its function is all that matters, how it looks on-screen isn't important at all.

It works, that is all you need to be concerned with.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Boitim:
I failed to get it to work on my Redmi Note 5. My display is almost unreadable and my touchscreen does not work any more. It generates random presses everywhere so I cannot control anything via the display. No way to enable debugging mode via the touch screen when the USB cable is connected (tried this for about 30 minutes now...). Even turning off the phone takes many attempts because I need to hit the "Power off" icon and then the confirmation.

The phone is unlocked and I once had it rooted and if I remember correctly I used TWRP but this was apparently overwritten when MIUI did an update (dammit...!!!). I hope this did not reset the developer mode.

Now I managed to flash the most recent twrp for my phone with fastboot and I can boot into the twrp menu. I cannot read exactly what it says, something with "...select language", I see the keyboard and "...Unlock" at the bottom of the screen (only a part of the right side of the screen is readable)

But now "adb devices" does not find a device any more. I connected the USB cable after the twrp menu showed up and I also killed adb.exe from the task manager before trying it.

Any idea what I can do to access the phone?

Well done and thank you for this great work.

I have successfully connected my note 4, it's listed in the Droid@Screen but I can't get to see my screen (state: rejected).

I can't get to check and allow the "allow connection to my computer" option on my phone as the screen is broken.

What can i do please?

Thank you for your assistance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Droidriven:
Did you have USB debugging enabled before the screen broke? If not, this tool is not going to work for you and there is no way to enable that setting now that your device is broken.

Many people do not have USB debugging enabled because they don't know how vital that setting is if their device encounters issues. One of the first things I do when I get a new device is enable the USB debugging setting and then I leave it enabled as long as I own the device, so I can fix it if it has issues. I want to ensure that I don't get stuck in a position that I can't make a connection with PC, if it is needed in order to repair the device or retrieve data from it.

Buy a complete LCD+digitizer+glass combination and then replace the screen.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hemant14:
In fact I have USB debugging enabled and when I type the command "adb shell",

I get "error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device."

Which means that i should allow the connection from my phone which I can't as the screen is broken.

I know someone suggested to connect an OTG mouse and try to click on the "ok" option but this is a little hectic (tried many times:eek:).

Do you know a command that would bypass this authorization?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Droidriven:
Try reading this and try the things they did to see if it works for you.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions...-with-broken-touch-screen-on-android/36507541

Using the mouse should work for you, with a little time, trial and error and patience.

Not working for me

Your tool is super useful, and it really works, Thank you!!! But it doesn't work for my phone Samsung Galaxy A30, it's screen was broken while the device was in the power off state, and in such case after you boot the phone you must use the password not the fingerprint sensor in order to unlock it, so i'm unable to connect it to my computer, in other words, because of the security/privacy policy it won't let the computer reaches it, it will only use the computer to charge the battery, and I don't want to root it or any other thing that violates the warranty, I just want to reach it and copy my files, please help me.

I have USB debugging enabled since the day I bought it, and I was connecting it to my computer at least 3 times a day.....

So I have no issues with the USB settings.

Of course, I'm able to go the shop and have it fixed but in the country I live in (Syria), this costs tons of money, and I literally don't have any money, our state is miserable and we can't afford to do that, even the center that provided the phone also asked us a lot of money, while the phone is in the warranty period..

Please please... help .
