Last week my girlfriend got upset and her HTC screen met the dashboard in the car rendering it shattered and unusable. I have been searching for a way to mirror the screen to either my PC (win 10) or my TV so that I can navigate around the phone to save different things as well as connect a bluetooth watch so that she can see who is calling and texting. Through my online research I have found ways to do it but I need to have "usb debugging" enabled on the phone, which it is not. I am hoping that someone here may have a recommendation so that I can either screen mirror to the TV without being able to access anything on the phone via the screen or a way to activate the usb debugging so that I can use a PC app to access the phone remotely. Appreciate any and all feedback!
Verizon Pixel 2....so not unlocked bootloader/root.
Someone stole my wife's phone, smashed it up, and dumped it on the side of the road. Able to find it with locate my phone. Can't unlock it because battery died and she used fingerprint unlock, so trying to find a way so we can recover pics of the kiddos at baseball. It is responding, I can feel it vibrate when trying to unlock with fingerprint....but since it was restarted it is requiring her pin code. Any ideas?
Here's the damage...

if it is locked with a pin you have a chance if a pattern you are out of luck.
here is where to start
get your otg adapter from the box plug in a keyboard.
try to unlock with fingerprint
enter pin on keyboard
if it works from there i will tell you key combos to do what you want
It is locked by pin, but I don't have a keyboard. I'll see if I can find one in the next few days here to give it a shot

a keyboard mouse combo like this could be useful https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014EUQOGK/ref=nav_timeline_asin?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
i just tested with it the old version of it
google has made this alot harder compared to when the app drawer had a button but im able to get to settings and open apps idk what you want to from there usb debugging maybe idk
also google play has a feature to remote install apps in you are on the same google account if you know a good screen mirroring app or similar

Thanks for all the info. She has a tablet with the same account on it, so I'll see if I can get it to install a screen mirroring app.
Ok, got a keyboard/mouse combo on the way. I shouldn't need much, besides getting it to unlock to be able to pull what I need...but just in case if you know the shortcuts to get to USB debugging, or even better, to get to screen casting, and could post them, that would be awesome.

ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY USEFUL !!
I have a MATE 20 X which I broke the screen and its completely blAck and cant see anything.
I do however have a facelock, pattern lock and also fingerprint lock but It seems as if the face and pattern lock are not working as I do not get any vibrations or anything at all.
My question is when you have any type of lock on the phone and you connect it via HDMI will I be able to see the Main screen so I can put the pattern?
I do not have an HDMI Adapter but would like to know this before going and buying one
I also cant via USB as I need to accept USB DEBUGGING but I can no longer see anything at all on my screen.
Hello. Recently, i dropped my phone so unluckily that screen is completely broken and display is completely black and touch doesn't work as well. The point here is i want to back up my data. I found i can stream my screen over HDMI to the TV.
But the catch here is i see only lock icon on TV and unless i unlock the phone with the pattern, i'm unable to see contents of screen.
Can i somehow bypass this lock icon so i can see contents even on locked screen?
PS: as i wrote in title, i know unlock pattern but it is useless unless i can enter it into the phone somehow.
I also found ADB command that can simulate input via coordinated but it need to have debug mode on (which i have i believe) but also need agree that this PC can use ADB commands on this device. Unfortunately, i didn't check the "remember me" box.
Any ideas how could i do this?
You can easily connect a mouse with a usb-c to usb-a adaptor.
I just tried to connect my trusty Logitech G9x to the 7t and it immediately worked.
Edit:
I guess you need the USB c port for the HDMI but there are plenty of dongles that support both hdmi and usb
Another idea is to enable over adb the setting in developer mode/show taps
So then you can see roughly on the tv where you are tapping
Hope this helps
have you found the solution ?
Hi all,
If anyone can help, I'd be very happy! My son dropped his g60s and smashed the display, we can't use it. We can see a small live portion of the screen, but barely visible. We can unlock the lockscreen but can't really do much else as we can't see or touch the screen to select anything.
I would like to recover images/videos if possible. No SD card, and USB Debugging is turned off. Totally stock out of the box phone.
Any ideas please? Googling a solution is not proving very successful.
Thank you in advance.
(I'm a little out of touch with Android, sorry - I used to be regular on here but have not posted on XDA for a while!)
Hi again.
I'm aware of random post etiquette and that this may appear illegitimate or potentially looking for assistance to beach security, so I'm attaching my proof of purchase for ref., and a pic of the damaged display.
I can also get past the screen lock now by attaching a keyboard to enter the pin. But I can't set to allow USB connection as opposed to charge only when I connect the cable, and I certainly can't navigate to developer settings to allow recovery software.
The best option for you if you want to extract data from the mobile is to use one of the usb-c to hdmi adapters with extra usb.
That way you should be able to connect your or in this case your sons phone to the display and connect a mouse to use it as a pointer and to unlock the phone if its password/pin locked.
Usually there might be prompt asking you if you want to connect it to tv, but it might just connect automatically.
Just recently i have purchased exactly the same phone for my mom i can check it for you if you can connect it directly to other display without adding
Yes, search for a USB-C to non-MHL HDMI because the regular USB-C to HDMI dongle does not work. Somthing like this. This will let you do screen mirroring on TV and copy the contents
