Hi all!
Sorry if I posted this wrong section.
So my wife had a S3 and she dropped so in the screen there is a tiny crack, but the screen show just black screen so I dont know the touchscreen recognize touch or not. The phone can turn on and off but there is a PIN and screen security (pattern) so KIES just show connecting, connecting. She do not have samsung acc to unlock the phone via web.
So there is an option (adb or somethin) to pull out the phone numbers from the cracked phone?
Thank you very much if you answer!
Okay so my pixel XL hit the ground the other day and the screen is black and wont register any inputs but the phone still works (usb charges, can hear sms and call tone/vibration and fingerprint reader works)
USB debugging is not active
bootloader is locked
phone is the latest OTA update (oreo 8.1.0 or something)
pin lock and fingerprint are active, i know the pin and the fingers mine obviously.
so the good part is, i can easily get into fastboot mode!!
before i go out and buy a replacement screen, i want to be able to remote desktop into the phone and make sure everything else is working
i have read that people have been able to modify some files and flash to the phone to enable usb debugging, and use twrp to disable the pin lock etc.
Really im just looking for the best path on how to do remote desktop or control the phone.
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.

1. try to unlock with fingerprint this brings up enter pin screen
2.enter pin on keyboard an hit enter should here unlock sound if speakers work
3.spam down on the arrow keys
4. rotate phone to landscape mode if you have it disabled this still works but very inconstant
5. this must be done quickly hit the windows key then right, right, left 7 times, right, enter <this is very inconsistent because google is dumb in portrait mode
6.right , enter
7.type : open settings , enter
8.down 13 times, enter
9. down 4, enter
10.down 2, enter
11.down 13, enter
12.left, right, enter usb debugging will be enabled if you have developer options enabled i hope you do other wise i need to re do this
please quote me so i get a notification
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
