Hi!
I broke touchscreen on my Z1C, it's no longer responding to touch or swipes. I want to use this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53531429#post53531429 to retrieve and backup some data like notes, text messages, etc.
The phone before touchscreen broke down had stock ROM, was not rooted, and unfortunately did not have USB debugging (ADB) enabled. So to use the above tool and somehow emulate touches I need a kernel with ADB enabled by default. Could anybody suggest one?
Thank you!
Maybe you can use mouse connected via USB-OTG?
Thank you, Casserole! OTG cable is indeed a much simpler solution!

Hello,
my touchdisplay is broken and it doesn't work anymore (the touch function).
Now I wanted to reset to stock image and lock the bootloader again using the nexus root toolkit.
I successfully installed the stock firmware again and then a problem encountered:
Usually I just used an OTG cable and a pc mouse to do pointer operations but there is one important which i can't do:
When I connect the device to the PC for the first time it asks me if I want to accept the fingerprint of my PC. Now when I unplug the USB cable to plugin the mouse the message disappears
Is there any way to add the fingerprint manually to my device or some other way to lock my device again without using adb?
I'm obviously not rooted cause I restored to factory image..
Thanks in advance.
Edit: can be deleted, figured it out.
Hello, could anybody help me?, my screen got broken, it was driven by a car nothing can be seen, touch is not responsive, but my problem is that I haven't enabled adb.
I would like to install custom recovery and do full Rom backup before sending for repair, but can't do nothing without usb debugging enabled in phone
I tried do something by fastboot but everything failed.
Or maybe there is some way to connect mouse via otg and TV via mhl simultaneously?
Any help would be appreciated

Maybe you can plug mouse via otg I didn't try this but it might works I always connect via bt. But if you have something on int memory you can always plug to pc simply or make an backup with pc companion
Mouse over otg works, but its rather useless because i cant see screen, its totaly broken, and i dont know how to conect both mouse and screen at same time. It would be easy with adb working, my bootloader is locked and i dont habe TA keys backup so i dont want to unlock it.
Did you try pc companion backup?
Dear XDA Devs,
I'm having the following problem with my Sony Z1 compact. Last night I dropped my phone and the screen cracked. The screen itself works perfectly only the touchscreen does not work anymore. Unfortunately we are not able to enable usb debugging so we are required to put the phone into recovery mode and use "adb shell" to enable usb debugging (so we can backup some data before we get a new phone).
However we tried various methods to put the phone into recovery mode but we cannot get it to work. The phone runs the latest official stock rom. What are the exact stept to press buttons to get the phone in recovery mode, or do we need to custom flash a recovery partition?
Already many thanks!
p.s. the phone is currently locked with a pattern and connected to a Google account.
The most important thing is a full backup of the data (notes, picture that are not on the SD card). We have a Windows and Mac computer so we can test various options.

Official stock rom has no recovery.
Just buy, borrow or make USB-OTG cable and use ordinary computer mouse.

**You need to have usb debugging enabled. -> not able to enable usb debugging -> that's why I needed recovery mode
Thanks for the reply. I already found a solution by using a usb mouse / keyboard (Z1 compact natively supports USB OTG) to access the phone.

Glad to hear... Sorry I wasn't more specific - I just knew there was a solution out there not too hard to find.
Hi there,
I have an issue with the S4 mini of my wife. She forgot to remove it from one of her pants pocket and placed the pants in the washing machine... I let you imagine the rest. The cellphone is pretty clean now (I did worth, in the toilet , sadly, it happened).
I placed her S4 completely disassembled in rice and a silica gel. everything is dry. I was able to turn it on however the screen did not turn on. I recovered several data but I'm not able to retrieve the sms as the phone is not rooted.
luckly, I have also a S4 mini. I managed to change the screen and it turned on !! however (tsss) the touchscreen doesn't work.
My S4 is from 2013 and hers is from 2014. something might have changed.
so as I mentioned above, I'm trying to retrieve the sms but I need to turn on the USB debugging to be able to use any program.
so what I did is to connect her S4 with ADB [normal boot, recovery, downloading mode] but can't have a connection with ADB:
adb devices
List of devices attached
adb server version (32) doesn't match this client (36); killing...
error: unknown host service
error: could not install *smartsocket* listener: cannot bind to 127.0.0.1:5037: Une seule utilisation de chaque adresse de socket (protocole/adresse could not read ok from ADB Server
réseau/port) est habituellement autorisée. (10048)
* failed to start daemon *
error: cannot connect to daemon
Do you have any idea why I can't get this connection with ADB?
and how to enable the USB debugging with a touchscreen not working ? this will enable me to use several program to retrieve the sms.
many thanks !!
unfortunately I can't get any info from \data\ as the phone is not rooted.
I'm trying to connect a mouse with a otg adapter but I can't get anything from it.
do you have any idea on how to either activate the "usb debugging mode" or to get controle of the cellphone with a mouse?
thanks
and I was able to make adb recognize the phone. that's a small step
So what I found on how to backup sms:
- sms are stored in \data\, so to have access to this partition I need to be rooted. => rooted now will simply make all data disappear which I don't want. => I'm correct, right?
- using any app to backup will need to have the USB debugging active. However I can't do anaything on the screen as it doesn't work. => to activate it with adb, I need to be rooted....
- OTG, I try to connect a mouse (otg linked to the mouse with/without power supply) it doesn't work
is it possible to simply make a clone of my phone to the computer? or to my S4 mini?
my last solution would be to buy a screen but it's 60€ just ot backup the data and as I noticed, I have to be sure the screen is compatible with the motherboard of the cellphone which is not easy...
thanks !!

I have a very similar problem, same phone stuck on Logo screen, can see it with adb, but unauthorised. I want to get data off, but no backup exists. Is there a solution?
After upgrade to marshmallow the usb otg feature no longer works. I have tried debugging and choosing ptp, mtp, charging, all to no avail. It simply no longer recognizing anything other than the power cord plugged in. I've tried the built in file manager and es file. Can I fix this?
Also I have a thumb keyboard installed and working. But on reboot the keyboard resets to Samsung default every time??
Thanks in advance. I am now searching downgrade options...the otg feature is a killer for me.

i had no problem using otg. try to factory reset. usually with every big update some old files that left from previous version will give problems to device. and for the thumb keyboard try to look at the application permission. the app kind of being abandon. last update on 2014. so it might have problem with MM.
Check your device drivers are working correctly.

How do you check device drivers on an android tablet? And which drivers control the otg function?
