wow thanks for heads up on VYSOR, it works awesome. my galaxy s5 has no screen at all but thankfully had lineage installed with usb debugging enabled before it broke. VYSOR wouldnt work at first asking me to click enable usb debugging on screen which I obviously couldnt do. I opened that droidAtScreen program next thing it all started working and I could the give usb permission through VYSOR wtf

Same thing with my Nexus 6P. Vysor was asking for the authorization. I opened this app and typed in my pin and the screen popped up on the vysor app. Guess it was just this app being opened in general.

How "broken" is the screen if it is black you might have a problem but if it is just cracked use a OTG mouse to move the "cursor" on the screen

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Hypexed:
As you can tell you will need to have USB debugging enabled and your machine authorised. Even in recovery mode or download mode a Samsung doesn't allow any ADB access. You have two main options I think.

1. Install a custom recovery such as TWRP which allows it. Your device is supported. Just need to make sure it does activate USB debugging. And has an image you can flash using Odin. Since you will need to use Odin to flash a recovery image with the phone in download mode.

https://xdaforums.com/samsung-a-series/general/to-port-twrp-to-galaxy-a5-a500fu-t3150843

2. Modify a rooting-kit to enable ADB. Slightly more technical. But it can work. This is only necessary if a custom recovery fails to work. It would follow what I have performed here:

Did you use the PDA (or AP) slot? It should be fine there. The only other thing is the need to blindly put your phone in download mode. Just to isolate my instructions from the other post and use as a blind guide. Pull the battery from your phone. Give it a few seconds then put the battery back in and click the back cover on. Now hold down volume down, then home key, and finally hold down power. Wait for the vibration. Then release power after a few moments. Finally release the other keys. At this point press volume up briefly. You should have just put your phone blindly into download mode. I've done this numerous times.

If the image fails to upload in Odin there isn't much point going to other avenues yet as any image needs to be uploaded from Odin. So best make sure any images tried aren't corrupted. I've only had trouble with images I created myself. Or rather corrupted myself.

You could test this. Rooting it won't exactly help. Since it won't activate ADB. But it should pass the Odin check.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Hypexed:
Don't know what happened but my post was missing. So got it back. :-?

Okay one of those. Yes I my J5 Prime has non-removable battery. Once when using browsing it just completely froze. Wouldn't power down. Didn't know of any other way to force power off. It had half charge so ended up leaving it for five hours until it ran down. Was kind of funny. Screen was on the whole time and it didn't even get hot. Funny how the power only lasts when you don't want it to. :)

With download mode there will be no pattern lock. At least to my knowledge. Since it enters it directly from boot up. And the phone needs to be off before you can get into it. By forcing it off or waiting until the battery dies down. Then it needs power again.

Unless the A5 is different I found my Samsung couldn't be shut down by holding down power. It just causes the screen to light up and goes down after a while. No prompt for power down. But I read there is a force power down by holding volume down and power at the same time for seven seconds.

http://www.samsung.com/au/support/skp/faq/1075042

If you didn't get the prompt when plugging into computer thanks to Google then this would be as easy as plugging it into a USB port and saving the files off. So your files are on the internal flash?

Depending on where your app data is stored, there may be another simpler way. Have you tried Samsung Switch? Try logging into your Google account from a computer in the web browser from the Play store. Install it to your phone from there. It needs to be on normally of course. It will then install. After this install it to on Windows. And do a recovery/backup. I've done this and it could get some data back.

Hopefully this is in the right area and someone can help me. My Galaxy S5 (Verizon, stock Android 6.x) fell out of my pocket and the screen broke and the digitizer seems to be down as well. All I have is a black screen and no way to control it. It still appears to be working as I'm getting incoming text messages, a couple calls and some haptic response if I plug in a mouse w/OTG cable and click.

Trying to get the Android Control and Droid@Screen working, but it appears as is USB debugging got turned off somehow. ADB reports the device is "unauthorized" and Droid@Screen shows "Rejected" as a status for the device. I found a thread here that appears to show the commands to turn on USB Debugging via ADB Shell but can't get anywhere with that.

I've tried deleting the adbkey and adbkey.pub files from /~user/.android with no effect. That nets me a message from ADB telling me my device is unauthorized and to check the confirmation dialogue. I've been blindly clicking away with the OTG/Mouse combo for hours trying to get lucky.

I also read I could install an ADB enabled recovery but I can't seem to get into download mode to do so. I also can't seem to get into Recovery mode, but this particular device has been a PITA to get into that mode since new. (Cable unplugged, Volume Up/Home/Power until I feel the "buzz", then release power for a few seconds, then release the other buttons)

All I would really like to do at this point is get the USB options off "Charge" and to "File Transfer" so I can pull the last few day's pics off

and retrieve some confidential files I hadn't moved to my PC yet. I tried to blindly enable that as well, but have been unsuccessful thus far.

Can anyone help, or point to me to somewhere I can find a solution? I've literally been on this forum for almost 12 hours looking for an answer. Surely I'm not the only person with a completely jacked screen and USB debugging off? :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] (Skiddz):
Quick update. It appears the phone *IS* going into recovery mode or at least appears to. If I do the button press sequence to enter that mode, I can wait 10 seconds or so, run the "cursor" up and down (Keeping track in my mind of what options are what) and then back to "Reboot device", the phone will restart if I press the power button briefly. Assuming it IS getting into recovery, any idea why ADB can't "see" it?

I've uninstalled the Samsung USB drivers, cleaned out the registry, deleted all the folders and reinstalled the drivers and still seem to be "stuck".

[EDIT] Just got my new phone. Got Droid@Screen working with a regular startup. Tried it in recovery and my PC can't "see" the phone. ADB tells me "error: device not found"

Executing adb shell getprop I see [ro.adb.secure]: [1] and [ro.debuggable]: [0] so I guess I'm SOL for ADB access via recovery. I guess I need to figure out a way to flash a new recovery.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Hypexed:
If you are getting unauthorized that means you do actually have USB debugging enabled. You just need the adb key to be inside your phone. Did you enable USB debugging and authorize any computer? You are half way there.

Apps can help here. Try logging into your Google account from another computer and use the Play site to install Samsung Switch on your phone. Then you just need a PC to run the desktop Switch on. If it works it should grab your media. If that fails it's time to get technical. :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] (Skiddz):
It's possible I do have USB debugging on, but I can't be certain. I was entertaining the thought of rooting that phone a couple months ago, but got busy with a few other things and "back-burnered" it. I know I had ODIN talking to that phone and during my "I think I'm going to root this thing" moment(s) I'm pretty sure I had some other tools talking to it, but I don't recall if I went back in the turned debugging off.

If I could get an ADB shell up, I can turn on USB debugging *and* copy my key to the phone, but I've got no ADB ability in recovery mode.

My new phone connected right up to Android Control/Droid@Screen once I enabled USB debugging with no input required on the phone. I have a new laptop that I know doesn't have any Samsung drivers on it. I may load those up and try from there. Might get lucky with a new key getting exchanged between the notebook and the phone.

Smart Switch is already installed, but I can't access the confirmation dialogue(s). If I can get the thing talking to the PC, I'm golden. I can pull my data and then do a factory reset.

I can the phone recognized by ODIN and wouldn't mind attempting to flash something if it'll help. At this point, I'm considering this pretty much a lost cause so if something gets jacked, I don't care.

Installing tools on my notebook. Fingers crossed.

[edit]

Nope. Still getting rejected with Android Control and ADB says "unauthorized". Wondering if it's possible to retrieve an old adbkey.pub file from a restore point... Definitely adding the .android folder to my nightly backups from now on...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] (Skiddz):
Was able to recover an ADB key file pair from Saturday afternoon's initial attempt to get in to the phone. Still no joy. However! I *was* able to drive through the settings menus with a keyboard. USB debugging IS on and I was able to revoke USB debugging Authorizations (Thinking it'd make new keys or at least give me a dialogue to try and click with the mouse/keyboard to get it working. ADB is still telling me the device is unauthorized so it's likely a key issue.

Am I on the right track with revoking authorizations? Any way to make the phone think I've never "touched" it with ADB? Again, the new phone connected right up with no input required from me.

I don't understand how you enable usb debugging without access to phone.

my phone turns on but screen cracked and black... no debug enabled. connects to pc but nothing shows. everything i search tells me debugging needs to be enabled. have 3 folders now with adb stuff in them... ADB, Minimal ADB and Fastboot, and Universal ADB driver. nothing seems to help, tried the adb shell code too and nothing... ugh i just want to access my phone to recover some files
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] (Skiddz):
If you read the thread, you can see all the steps I took to verify USB debugging was turned on. In a nutshell, you'll need an MHL adapter, a monitor, an OTG cable, a USB keyboard and USB mouse. Use the MHL adapter to "see" the screen, figure out where the mouse pointer has to go, unplug the MHL adapter, plug in the OTG cable with the mouse plugged in to it, do your mouse move, then unplug the OTG cable, plug the MHL cable back in to see if your guess with the mouse was successful and go from there. Keyboard use is the same, but it's easier to count icons and setting and enter the correct number of cursor key inputs to get where you want to go.

I used the mouse to unlock my screen and click the Apps icon then I used the keyboard and cursor movements to navigate from there. It's tedious to be sure, but it does work if you're patient and plan carefully while you navigate.

Once you get USB debugging on, you can use the Android remote tool via ADB to drive the phone and recover your data.

I take it your phone requests access when you plug it into a computer? Things were so easy when they just mounted. If that is the case you may need to install an app to it off another computer from your Google account. One that shows your files in a web browser. Or can back files up. Remotely without user intervention on phone. There is also recovery software you can download to your computer that recovers data from common model phones.

---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

Have you connected a computer via USB cable when you enabled USB debugging? Because you need an authorised computer to use ADB with it. If you have accessed ADB before then all you need is the computer you did that with which contains the key. If you simply enabled USB debugging without authorising any computer then it will be harder. And you will need to look into deeper recovery solutions.

I don't have root on my device, how will I enable USB Debugging?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Droidriven:
It isn't impossible, but it depends on your device. You'll have to search for methods that have worked on your specific model number. Some devices can enable USB debugging via ADB or by entering a command to start the service for USB debugging. You'll just have to search for the different ways to enable USB debugging and try them all.

But only if you are really desperate, as it involves modifying file-system images and repacking it. Then uploading them to to your phone. In your case you can skip getting ADB enabled since you already have and just concentrate on uploading the authorisation key to you phone.

I’ve got a broken Nexus 4 without touch functionality but with a working display.

-	TWRP 3.2.1-0 and LineageOS 15.1 with Android Oreo is installed

-	The device is encrypted and secured with a PIN, but I can’t enter the PIN with the broken phone.

-	USB debugging is enabled and I have ADB access to the device

-	My aim is to unlock the LineageOS start with my PIN or to unlock TWRP with my PIN to get access to my data.

When I start Android Control Windows 10 asks with which program the droidAtScreen-1.1.jar should be opened.

When I click on some Buttons of Android Control there is for a moment a symbol in the taskbar but nothing happens on my device.

From another website I tried :

adb shell input text xxxx
/sbin/sh: input: not found

But I get this failure back

What can I do?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Hypexed:
Your information is slightly confusing. It looks like you need Java installed or for Windows to detect you want to run a Java (jar file) app. But then later it opens up with buttons.

Later it looks like you are running Linux. I've never tested, is Windows made to look like Linux on the command line now?

Going by your post I would suggest to type in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb

But if you are using Windows [10] then it will be of no help. One way to get ADB.

https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/

From experience Windows is unreliable when it comes to ADB. I would say if you don't have a Linux install anywhere; you could download and boot a live CD, install adb and fix it up, faster than it would take to get Working in Windows! :D

What can I do now?

So prior to using the Android Control, my Galaxy S7 was a screen of perpetual blackness. The touch screen made sounds, but not sure they were responsive because I couldn't see the screen. Now it is powered off, but will not turn on or boot in any fashion. It was at 100% charged as I was looking at the Find My Mobile before my failed attempt. What can I do now to possibly salvage the files on the device?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Hypexed:
In any case you will need to get it turned on. I would suggest plugging it into a USB cable connected to your computer. So you will supply power to it. Then see if there is any sign on screen. After that try and turn it on while it is still powered. Some devices need to be on power for a while before showing any sign of life but I've only heard of that an Apples.

Also look for signs from Windows or whatever OS you use that a USB device has been inserted.

If you don't have your files on an micro SD card inserted in the phone and it still won't turn on then you will need professional help to extract the data off the internal flash. And that can be expensive. Hopefully it will turn on and you get your data out.
