for people who dont have adb enabled, i suggest you contact a kernel developer to automatically enable it in the default.prop and sideload the kernel in recovery!

i broke my S3 on stock so nothing was enabled.

i enabled adb via the default.prop and compiled the kernel and flashed in recovery(sideload).

now i have full control over the device.

thanks for the tool mate! i hope to see it cross compiled for linux soon aswell :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lohanchien:
Very nice! Works great. I have a suggestion, if it's even possible, a few months back I cracked the screen and digitizer at the same time. Turning the screen on would make the phone go haywire since it was registering multiple "touches" from the broken screen/digitizer. Anyway to implement this with the screen completely turned off? Just curious.

is there away for the tool to work if usb debugging wasn't enabled on my broken phone???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] k.janku1:
Some older versions of adb don't support wireless debugging, you also need to enable wireless debugging on your phone

I am able to make screen work using computer, but it seems its unable to continue a flow of gesture. When i mouse my gesture in, it only picks up the start and the end dot of the guesture. So the app only can transmit one single flow of gesture in a straight line, is there a setting that i need to enable so that i can send a gesture that isn't just a straight line, but more like a square?

keyboard doesn't work

Hi,

Kinda strange issue. I can swipe the phone to enter the pin number (using firefly lockscreen) but when I type anything into the text box or press the number keys nothing happens. I can click on Reboot and it will reboot my phone, click on Power and it will turn the screen off.

just a FYI - when I click on any numbers or any letters the screen a window appears on the bottom in the taskbar and for about a second the keyboard flashes like I've clicked on another application and it greys the top title bar and then the icon at the bottom disappears and turns the title bar blue on the Keyboard...I hope you understand...again it only last less than a second. See Screenshots.

please can someone help me :(

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Desibouy:
Anyone please?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] k.janku1:
The window thing is just how it works (it's a batch command being executed). The keyboard issue might be something about the software keyboard on your phone, either a custom one, android version or maybe you could experiment with your settings
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Desibouy:
I'm using the original keyboard. hmmm...so what can I do? how can I experiment?

Install CM12.1 with no digitizer

I'm trying to install CM12.1 on a Nexus 4 with

no digitizer

(i.e. I can see the screen, but I can't use touch).

Allowed ADB through recovery (build.prop)

Authorized my PC in /data/misc/adb/adb_keys

Installed CM12.1 along with Google apps and rooted the device

Device shows under device manager ("Google Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface") while on the Cyanogenmod welcome/activation screen

Device doesn't show when invoking 'adb devices' under welcome/activation screen

I am stuck and unable to proceed with the CM welcome/activation without touch or ADB.

Any ideas? Is there any way to skip CM activation through editing some file via adb while in recovery?

Thanks!

Hi! I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini with black screen, stock rom, no root and no recovery. I want to access to internal SD for save my data and I think this tool is the best option, but ADB not detect my device probably because USB debugging is disabled (by default in stock rom is disabled, right?) What I can do? How can activate USB debugging to use ADB and control my device in Windows or how I can save my data? Thanks a lot.

.lfs function not implemented / secure asec permission denied.

***Edit: Acutally.... the CMD windows DON'T say that... they say something else, but its too quick to see. ***

***Edit 2 : It says something like "unknown command: swipe", then there is some other text***

Hello,

Thank you for making this tool. I am currently trying to use it to recover my dead screen phone.

I can successfully connect to the phone using the tool (which i'm guessing mean usbdebuggin has previously been enabled).... however, whenever i try to click the "swipe to unlock" buttons, nothing happens. The cmd/exe window comes up for a very short time, but i managed to get the contents:

"/mnt/.lfs: Funtion not implemented"

"/mnt/secure/asec: Permission Denied"

Can anyone lend a hand in getting the swipe lock screen removed?

Does it work when I need to unlock my devices when booting? Because my data is encrypted, using nexus 4 with latest lollipop 5.1.1
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] de--facto:
My problem is that I need to authorize adb access on my phone, but I can't do that without a working touchscreen.

My phone is a Samsung I9300 with OmniROM 5.1 and I'm using Linux. I found some workarounds, but none of them helps.

[IMG="adb auth"]http://i.imgur.com/HMf8gnR.jpg[/IMG]

It's easy possible to make a screenshot, because I'm just using hard buttons (power+vol.down) and I can copy the screenshot from the fs.

I got the idea of pre-allowing the auth per default by just copying the key-file into the fs, but I don't know where adb stores this. But probably it won't be possible, because it would be a big security issue.

Actually somebody here is referring to that solution, but for me it doesn't work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LancerEvoDrifter:
for some reason, the tool doesn't seem to work, i have droid@screen enabled and i see my device's screen casted on my laptop, but when i try to press any button (slide to unlock, etc) a command window pops up for a second then closes itself, and it closes too fast for me to be able to see the error message, is there any way for me to correct this error?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] k.janku1:
Thanks for the feedback. The pop-up is not an error message, it's an adb command being sent to the phone via cmd. As to the problem, a few people have reported this, but i dont have a clue to what might be causing it nor time to investigate it during school months especially with little info on the problem, so sorry for the inconvenience.

I'd recommend trying a different version (there are a few different links) or maybe some windows/android version has some influence on that.

Hello the main issue for me is that my galaxy note 4 does not have USB debugging on before i lost the screen. it will take me a few weeks to get it fixed and i cant cast the screen with your software. how else can i enable USB debugging with the blank screen?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] utsavmistry:
Hi, when I run the Android Control.exe file on my windows it opens 2 things:

1. a black window which quicly disapears (seems its calling DroidATScreen-1.1.jar which FYI is trying to open with Java)

2. the "Ultimate touch screen control for Android" window.. which is the one with the keys

Doesnt open my Nexus 5 Screen on the laptop.

Nexus5, USB Debugging is enabled, connected via USB cable.

Do i need to do any installations on the PC?

TIA!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] faizm26:
i can cast my screen but i cant touch anything from the pc, is there something wrong?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DoLooper:
This is hilarious! The screen died on my rooted 2013 Kindle Fire 7 about a month ago. I knew it was still alive inside (could see the files and was even able to reroot and wipe with the KFSOWI rooting tool), but with no screen I kinda gave up on it.

Then today I tried Android Control and not only can i "see" the tablet, but the touchscreen works! Of course, gestures are hit and miss (pun intended); i can only approximate where i should touch based on what i see on the pc.

Anyway, pretty fun and funny. Not sure what i'll do with it, but there are possibilities now--like trying something really reckless! Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] haplox:
Great, great app. Thanks a lot for it.

For those who need to activate debugging with the broken screen, these have been my stepts to get it. In my case is for a Xperia Arc (boot.img) with stock ICS ROM (4.1.B.0.587) and UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER, but it may work for almost all devices:

- Get an stock kernel or a costomized one with CWM if you prefeer. I have used this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1838916

- Get Android Kernel Kitchen 0.3.1. It is a bit confuse in the way it works, but if you take care moving your files from inpu/output folders, and following the instructions it is really easy (do not rename any file as the kitchen will ask you, it must be a bug. Only need to modify the name of the ramdisk folder in order to recompress it)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1659584

- Decompress your kernel img file with kitchen. You will get your ramdisk uncompressed. Now you must edit your default.prop file inside your ramdisk folder (use Notepad++ for it)

You must add or modify next lines:

- Recompile boot.img and flash it through flashtool or adb. Now you have USB debugging enabled. If some one wants my modified kernel here it is:

View attachment boot_ARC_Debug_CWN.img

REMENBER: this boot.img file is ONLY for Xperia ARC (LT15i) with ICS ROM. For another devices or ROMs you must kitchen your own kernel

Hi,

does not support Xperia Z3C

Edit:

Sorry I found my mistake, I did not accept the signature of debugUSB with PC
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] StvnKwlzk:
First, thank you very much for the awesome tool, but i have a few problems.

The Display of my Nexus 4 broke and the touch input is not working anymore. My device is bootloader unlocked and runs CW Recovery 6.0.4.3. I already tried to do a backup through adb backup, which strangely always gives me empty backups. So i tried enabling USB Debugging to use this tool and get my data back a different way. After rebooting my phone it shortly states that USB Debugging is enabled before asking to type in my pin, so i guess this kinda works. But adb devices will not show my device, so your phone does neither aswell. Anyone with an advice or a similar problem?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ricky Divjakovski:
hey, compile this https://github.com/Ricky310711/RTL_KERNEL and flash through adb

make sure you change the default.prop values from

ro.secure=1

ro.debuggable=0

ro.adb.secure=1

to

ro.secure=0

ro.debuggable=1

ro.adb.secure=0

ro.secure=0 makes the kernel insecure allowing changes from within the kernel

ro.debuggable=1 makes the system debuggable

ro.adb.secure=0 makes the device non adb secure(allows a pc to debug the device via adb)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vjpotter:
The gestures seem to work only in one direction. My Nexus 4 screen is broken and it is locked with a pattern lock. Since the gesture control in this application is able to connect only 3 dots at a time, it does not lock out after 5 incorrect attempts and hence, I am not able to reset it with my Google password.

Since the phone is locked, I am also not able to side load any files to help override the pattern lock as I can't access the media storage. Also, I am not able to su into adb shell even though my phone is rooted. I am also not able to change my lock to a code on Android Device Manager since my phone is already locked with a pattern.

Any help on how I can disable the lock combination on my phone?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FredMan:
Broke the screen on my Nexus 5(again) this time real bad.

After some trial and error I was able to get past the adb fingerprint prompt.

this is what I did.

1. Boot into Recovery. on nexus 5 it's Power+Volume Down (check for your device)

2.Pull the adb_keys file

adb pull /data/misc/adb/adb_keys

3.Open your computers public adb key in a text editor

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\.android\adbkey.pub

4. Open the adb_keys file you pulled before and paste the key from step 3 and save

5.Push the new adb_keys file back to your phone

adb push adb_key /data/misc/adb/adb_keys

6. reboot

That is what worked for me. Hope this helps.

Screen resolution wrong

Hi there,

as I broke the screen of my Samsung S5 badly (digitizer and screen dead), I turned to this tool and I could get it to work only halfways. The screen is displayed with a reduced resolution and it doesn't register any swipe to unlock or gestures through the extra gesture window.

Look at the screenshot to see what I mean

How do I get it to work correctly?

Thanks for any help. It's badly needed.

my xt890 lcd screen and digitizer were broken so i changed them and the phone was working fine for a week, i then wanted to update to kitkat through oem update; everytime i tried it would give me error . i then read that since i unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone and installed cwm recovery i couldnt do an oem update and i had to do a factory reset in order to update through oem, so i did just that ; after the phone finished factory reset and booted i proceeded with oem update while the phone was charging, everything was going fine the file was downloading, i went to the bathroom and came back the display was black, but touch screen was working fine...through more searching i read that this could be from the update, and i should do another reset... since i couldnt see anything even recovery menu. i downloaded moborobo so i can see my screen on pc and proceeded to factory reset ... now i cant even see through moborobo and im stuck. i think im stuck in recovery screen, but no way to be sure , hence i cant get usb debug.Please help.

I have a broken screen, like everyone else. I have droidscreen running fine, finds my device, shows me the screen, but when I try and Unlock the device with swipe up motion on the ANDROID KEYBOARD it starts a new adb shell.... (even tho one is already established within droidscreen), it kills the old shell, starts a new one finds the port, then says DEVICE ERROR or DEVICE NOT FOUND when trying to use any command on the ANDROID KEYBOARD app. Whats the deal? My phone is recognized through adb with droid screen. Why can your silly keyboard program not send commants to my phone? Its not rooted, which I thought wasnt necessary. THANKS

It would only give me error messages with my broken Galaxy S4. So I hooked up an old and not-broken Photon Q with USB debugging turned on and got this working with it. Then I tried the broken S4 and such fun, it works with it too! I'm sure I didn't have USB debugging enabled on the S4.

But the problem is, aside from swiping to unlock and moving around with the UDLR buttons and launching apps with the Center button, and the home back and recent apps buttons, I cannot actually *use my phone* through this Android Control software. I have an app on my broken phone I need to do things with and without some type of virtualized/remote touch or mouse input this program doesn't work for me.

With answers to a few questions I might be able to help based on my own experience successfully pulling pictures off my Moto X with broken screen.

1) Does the phone power on?

2) Is the screen visible at all or just blank/dead?

3) Does the screen respond to touch at all (if you can tell based on what you can see of the screen)

4) Is the phone locked with a PIN, a pattern, or not at all?

Via an OTG cable that I bought for $2.99 US, I was able to connect a USB mouse to my phone to "swipe" to the PIN entry, then use a USB keyboard to enter my PIN, even though I could not see the screen except for one very small corner of it. This took some trial and error. Once the phone was unlocked, I could access internal storage simply by plugging it into my PC via a USB cable. It took some fast hands to switch the mouse to keyboard quickly on the female USB end of the OTG cable, then connect the phone to the PC once I thought it was unlocked (had to guess).

Symantec security warning when trying to use tool - help requested

Thank you for providing this great tool. This looks like something that will definitely be useful to me as I'm trying to work with my 1st Gen Moto X that I accidentally shattered the screen on last week.

However, when trying to download the tool, I'm receiving a warning from Symantec Download Insight (see image below) indicating the file is "untrustworthy" and has been reported as such by "hundreds of users". Symantec then quarantines the file and I'm unable to install it. I think I can get around Symantec but the warnings have me concerned -- so before I proceed, has anyone else encountered warnings like this when downloading / installing / using the tool?

Thank you in advance for your help!
