So my old Nexus 7's screen was shattered, it still turns on, I know bec the music was still playing.
Any way to transfer the files from a shattered-screen N7 to the new N7?
Got some recent image files I hadn't backed up, which will take a while to reproduce. I use ES file explorer.
(I did forum search on this topic and couldn't find any info)

If the screen is still mostly readable - but the digitizer doesn't work - use a OTG cable and a USB mouse.
adb pull /sdcard/ will copy everything from the SD card to your PC if you want to go that route.
You should be able to install apps to the cracked-up tablet by using the web interface of the Google Play market.
good luck

Nope it's shattered, flickers and lights up but completely illegible.
I'll try connecting it to a PC, my apps and settings are mostly synced to the replacement already, but it would be great to be able to transfer files.
Google/Asus/Android should really allow direct file transfer access via USB, WiFi, NFC, etc for upgrading/replacing devices which are both registered to the same Google account.
I understand this could pose security risks but so could everything else.
If I can transfer files direct from my WiFi camera to my N7, shouldn't I be able to transfer files from one N7 to the other? I guess I could prob set this up via ftp if the screen was working....

Is the tablet rooted? Is adb enabled?
If you can get an adb shell running (from a PC) you could manually pack things up using archiving tools (zip, tar, whatever) and transfer the archives using either "adb pull" or via command-line ftp. Sort of depends on what tools the ROM busybox/toolbox supports.
If it isn't rooted you are probably limited to copying the /sdcard, although there are obscure things that could be tried (e.g. see if you can get a mouse, keyboard, and PC connected via adb simultaneously by hooking the N7 to a USB hub with an OTG cable) - you can pull "screen shots" from the device using the SDK "ddms" tool. Pain in the rear, but you could ?? maybe "see" what was on the screen that way.

It's not rooted, but USB debugging is enabled.
If I could input my pattern to get past the unlock screen, I could pull the files via USB from a PC, but apparently that won't work when the screen is locked.
I tried that adb SD card pull but I get no adb devices recognized, again I think bec the screen is locked out.
Any other ideas?
I'm beginning to think it's not worth it, but I still would like to wipe the device.
I think I can wipe it using the avg antivirus theft protection remotely, at least I have that setup. Still not sure if this will work if screen is locked. I'd think it would, else what's the point?

Ahh crap - adb security on 4.2.2 and a pattern lock on a broken screen.
You are right - that leaves almost nothing left to try.
Seems like what is needed is some kind of ssh server app that doesn't need any GUI configuration - that would at least allow an unprivileged shell from a different computer on your LAN. (But unfortunately it seems like most ssh server apps require some fooling around in the GUI to set them up after installation). Those lost tablet/phone apps can be pushed from the Google Play market using a web browser and will run on install - you need something like that.
Not sure it such a thing exists, though. Sorry.

Do you have an otg cable? You could try using a mouse to unlock the screen blindly.... remembering that when you plug in the mouse it is centered on the screen. Or use a keyboard if you have a pin lock code. You should check and see if avg can remotely change the password. If so with an otg cable and some luck you just might crack it

Thanks for the responses guys. The files I was mourning the most were abt 40 photo's I'd spent time tweaking and editing, I found most of the raw originals on my camera (after going thru 400 or so) and will just try to redo the edits..
Some stuff will be lost, now I know to upload everything important to drive, photo bucket, PC, etc.
I'll do the avg wipe and post how it works out, being careful not to wipe my current nexus which I should have waited before installing avg on.

Wow, using the mouse to unlock is a great idea. Thanks for that.
The tablet was rooted and put into debug mode initially, but there have been OS updates since then so maybe it isn't going to work.
Having never used adb, I connected the Nexus 7 via USB. It showed up on the PC as Nexus 7, but there are no files. I ran "adb.exe devices" and it said there were no devices. Does that mean its not in debug mode, or might I be doing something else wrong. (should it have seen other USB devices, like mouse and keyboard?)
I haven't tried the mouse to unlock yet. I need to practice the pattern with my new Nexus.
E_C
You need to install pdanet drivers from sdk platform tools or one of the many toolkits for nexus 7.
If you have the auto detect drivers its being detected as a media device and adb wont detect.
Hope that helps,as well I think if you connect in fastboot you wouldnt have to worry about the screen lock.

TL;DR Smashed phone, need to find a ROM with ADB enabled to use it
Long story short, I smashed my phone last Friday. The LCD screen works and the phone appears to be fully functional except for the digitiser. I had ADB disabled as I frequently plug my phone into computers at university and elsewhere and I don't want to run the risk of ADB commands being run maliciously. Since the Nexus 4 can't do USB OTG without a splitter cable (and, I believe, some configuration) I can't just plug in a mouse to control the phone. Annoyingly, this happened while moving house and I don't have internet at home until tomorrow; I was planning on using USB or WiFi tethering to get my PC online.
I found this page with a suggestion on what I might be able to do. Alternatively, my other plan is to connect an Ouya controller by bluetooth and use the touch pad on that to control the phone. Either way, the plan hinges on using ADB to control the phone to begin with to either configure an app or enable bluetooth.
I've noticed a lot of ROMs (since 4.3.1?) have ADB disabled until the user enables it. Also, whether or not ADB is enabled to begin with isn't something a developer is likely to list in their first post. Does anyone know any ROMs that have ADB enabled on first boot? Any other suggestions on what to do would also be great.
I've been reading various threads and tech posts for hours and feel like I'm going in circles and getting absolutely nowhere, so I'm really hopeful someone can help me out.
I broke the screen and digitizer on my AT&T SGH-I337 Galaxy S4 with stock Android 4.2.2 and ROM, though it is rooted. I was trying to control it via the computer with 'Ultimate Touchscreen Control for Android' or Screencast, but they require ADB which I'm pretty sure is not enabled. I did enable USB debugging before the screen broke, though I can't say with 100% certainty that I didn't later disable it, so I'm not entirely sure what the status of that is. I've been reading about sideloading a kernel with ADB enabled through recovery, or using CWM with Odin to enable it, but I have been absolutely unable to figure out how to do it with a broken screen. It doesn't help that it's been 3.5 years since I really messed with stuff like CWM and custom ROMs, and I've never used Odin, and my knowledge on this stuff is not great. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I think you're pretty much sol. You say you're on 4.2.2, do you know what bootloader you're on. Mdb, mdl or mf3. If you're on mf3 you won't be able to flash a kennel. Do you have a custom recovery, and if so, which one?
When booted into recovery and adb installed on your pc in a Windows command window type
adb devices
If you're devices serial number shows up you have adb debugging enabled. If it just shows waiting for device, you don't.
Your best bet is to get the screen/digitizer replaced.

Not sure what bootloader, but I got the device only a month or two after the S4 came out and immediately rooted it with Motochopper and it hasn't had any updates since, so it has to be an earlier one, probably the first.
After several attempts, 'adb devices' gave me:
"List of devices attached
da916528 unauthorized"
The first several times it would just say "List of devices attached" with nothing following.
'adb shell' resulted in "error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device."
Shortly after it does list the phone, the phone shows up in Windows, so I'm thinking it's not going into recovery. My timing must be off because I can't see the screen to know when to release the buttons.

You're close but unfortunately no cigar. You have usb debugging enabled but it's waiting for you to authorize the device by clicking accept on the touch screen. Which you obviously can't do. If you used motochopper you are on mdb or mdl bootloader which means you could flash a kernel but you'd have to do it in a custom recovery and use the touch screen. I don't have an i337 so I'm not going to be much more help. Sorry.

Kinda figured it was something like that. Thanks anyways, at least I know exactly where I stand now. I'm going to try using an MHL and OTG adapter to see if I can click it that way. In the meantime, hopefully somebody with the same phone as me will come along and be able to provide further guidance.
So I was finally able to gain remote access with some crazy wiring and a lot of patience. I'm putting this here so others in my situation might have an easier time at doing it.
First I installed TeamViewer QuickSupport (TVQS) via the Play Store online, then connected a PS/2 mouse to the phone through a OTC cable and a USB to PS/2 adapter (only USB mouse I have is wireless, but good to know you can use such an adapter for this). I blindly swiped the screen to unlock the phone, then connected it to my TV with an MHL adapter and the 5 to 11 pin Samsung-specific adapter. I long-pressed the menu button to activate voice search and said "launch TeamViewer QuickSupport," then when the app opened it showed me the ID to connect to the phone which I entered into my desktop TeamViewer application. I then had to switch back to the mouse to do some more blind clicking to authorize the connection, then again to authorize the remote control, which took several frustrating minutes of switching back and forth between the mouse and the TV. One mistake I made was not installing the remote addon at first, so after I first authorized the connection, I didn't have that option, so I had to install it again through the Play Store online then close and relaunch TeamViewer on the phone and reauthorize the connection before I could start a remote session. Once I was FINALLY in I had full control and was able to get the Ultimate Touchscreen (UTCA) program authorized (which in retrospect would have required the same thing only it would have been significantly easier, since I would have only had to do one blind click) and Mobizen (which I'm currently using to control it as it's the best and fastest of the three, and oddly it's faster through the web interface than the desktop program).
In the end, what would have made this significantly easier (in fact, very easy), would have been to use a combination OTG/MHL adapter that would allow using the mouse and TV at the same time, or possibly a micro-USB OTG Y-cable so I could plug one connector into the phone and one into a power supply, then plugged the MHL Samsung adapter into that so it could get power that way, allowing me to plug the mouse in to it instead of a USB cable for power. Not sure if that would actually work, but it seems like it would. Hopefully somebody finds this info helpful. From now on, I'll be installing and authorizing TVQS, Mobizen, and UTCA on my phones when I get them.
I have the same problem. I cannot access ADB in anyway, even in in Clockworkmod recovery. USB Debugging is off. I am on the original firmware that came with the device, (Pre Knox) and the device is rooted.
My lock screen is just the simple lock, with no password required, but I have an app installed that switches the USB mode to Mass Storage for the external SD only so I cannot see internal storage.
MHL does work, but the touchscreen is not working, so all I can see is the lock screen.
When in recovery, ADB Devices shows the device as unauthorized. If i go to option # 3, (which apparently is Factory Reset) the status changes to "Sideload." But I still cannot do anything.
If no one has any suggestions. I think i'm going to have to purchase one of the Samsung Smart Docks.
I can't post links or pictures until I get 10 posts, but this works;
goo.gl/PR7TCK
Other than getting the dock, the only other way to do it that I know of is how I described above, switching back and forth between video and mouse, which sucks because you're flying blind. It requires a lot of patience.
Hey y'all!
So far I'm loving this device but I have recently learned something that is quite irksome. I have done some quick Google-fu and haven't found a solution to this problem so hopefully you guys can help me out!
When I connect my 6P to my desktop, it installs the drivers, but it won't show up on my computer. I can't access any of the data. It charges but no actual transfer. I have changed the setting to MTP, tried installing new drivers, Android Debugging toggled (adb push works oddly enough), installing Google drivers, but nothing seems to work!
Also to note: My brother's Nexus 6 won't connect, and neither will my other brother's OnePlus One. It makes me think it has something to do with standard Android devices? I'm not sure.
I'm on Windows 8.1 FYI. Lemme know if you guys need anymore information!
Thanks in advance!
Try another PC, may be your PC has some issues.

It may be PC related but on marshmallow (6p at least) it asks you if you want to use it as file transfer device ,transferring pictures ,charging and all that jazz. Maybe you didn't see that screen on the phone?

Pull down the notification bar, and click on the notification which says something like, "38%, charging" or somesuch.. that will allow you to the change the USB mode to allow file transfers.
The default option is to charge, make sure you change it to MTP. This is a thorn in my side as I want the default option to be file transfer!
Can not connect nexus 6p to computer
I have turned on de bugging and set by usb connectuon to MTP from the default charge selection but I still can not get my computer to see the phone storage. When I plug into my computer it will install the drives even make the tone that its connected but I can not see the device under my explore? HELPPPPPP
I had to change it to PTP then back to MTP and disconnect and reconnect it to get MTP to work at all, just FYI.
I had to use my laptop just to be able to access files on the phone. For some reason my main desktop does not want to recognize the 6p, even after troubleshooting drivers etc.
You might want to check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/usb-storage-windows-t3244905/page2#post63750876, discussion has already been progressing.
Great Advice. Pulling down the notification bar. Mega cool

This post helped me figure out what I needed to do. Many thanks:highfive:
I had this problem and just needed to quickly transfer a couple of movie files to my laptop. Without getting too deep into what is obviously some sort of Marshmallow compatibility thing, here's what worked for me...
Switched to PTP and another set of drivers installed after which "Internal Storage" was recognized and I was able to access all contents of both "DCIM" and "Pictures" folders.
Then, using Explorer I simply moved the files I wanted to transfer to the "Pictures" folder and proceeded with my original intent. Problem Solved

Hi,
My brothers phone screen is basically unusable.
When I connect the phone to the PC it recognises it in Windows but the phone contains no folders. At first I assumed it was because his screen was locked so I connected a OTG and keyboard and using commands managed to get his phone "unlocked" to the home screen.
However this didnt fix the issue.
Reading around it seems I may need USB Debugging enabled (if he hasn't already) but due to not being able to use the screen how would I do that?
Do I need a MICRO USB to HDMI & USB adapter to use a mouse and TV output?
Or is there a way I can fix this through windows using ADB?
At this point we are willing to try anything as all we are looking for is some family photos off of it then binning the phone and I don't want to put £100-200 into the screen replacement just to attempt this data recovery.
All help is greatly appreciated,
Cheers
ADB is the door to any Android device. As long as ADB has not been activated on the device - and the related RSA keys got created - you have no chance to pull out data from device, IMO.
Ok,
Well see the fact when I connect it to windows it shows the phone but not the folders inside, and I can only assume there will be a popup on the screen mentioning to ALLOW/DECLINE transfer etc..
If I use the OTG adapter I can plug my keyboard in and use the sequence SPACE, SPACE, BKSPACE, BKSPACE, then my PIN and ENTER and it unlocks to the home screen.
But because I would need the phone connected by both PC and KEYBOARD at the same time is it possible to get a splitter on the OTG adapter and this would hopefully let me press RIGHT and ENTER to accept the message?
If not then can the phone be connected via HDMI to see if any message is infact popping up??

OK, new to this. To get usb debugging on, click system. About phone, Software information, build number. Click that several times. (AT least 10). You will see a message that you are in developer mode. Go back to home screen. Click settings icon. Scroll to bottom you should now see { } Developers optiions. Click that. Find the section for ADB, enable ADB. Once ADB is up and running you should be able to pull the files. The screen for an android is the desktop, mouse, and keyboard. (PC analogy). You need something to see your icons, something to click, and a keyboard. If OTG acts as a mouse, and you can see the basic display, and have an external keyboard. I think you can do this. I am not sure what OTG is .

1. I cant follow that process as the screen is completely destroyed (no display/no touch), thats why I have been blindly using a keyboard to try and find the setting
2. OTG is ON THE GO , its a small adapter that lets you connect USB devices to your phone.
Sorry about that. I think you are stuck. without some visual clues I think you can not put the phone in developer mode. Did you try just a plugin (via usb) into windows and seeing if there is a pictures folder?
It find the phone in Windows, but wont display the folders.
The OTG splitter I purchased to be able to connect it to the PC and KEYBOARD at same time didnt work as it doesnt supply power (should have checked reviews).
Any other solutions? Or is this a new screen for £200 just to get data?
I purchased another OTG splitter that has a OTG/CHARGE switch so this should let me connect it to the PC and KEYBOARD.
Can anyone give me shortcut keys or step by step on how many times I need to press certain buttons to get down to the USB DEBUGGING section please?
Hello.
I've got my mother's Samsung A20. And i need to recover data, but the screen doesn't work.
When power button is pressed, display flashes the lock screen (wallpaper, current time and so on). And then it turns black (backlight stays on for 30 seconds, and then turns off). Pressing the button doesn't guarantee flashing the display, sometimes it goes black immediately. Touch screen gives no input as far as i know (can't hear anything when trying to type pin). Problem still occurs during and after reboots.
I managed to connect a mouse and keyboard with USB OTG, and i was able to unlock. But the phone has no MHL support, so i can't get any image through USB. I'd try pressing the power button repeatedly to get some image and inch my way through the interface, but the lockscreen interferes.
The USB port is set to Charging Only mode, so i can't copy files to my computer. USB Debugging is disabled, bootloader is locked.
Does anybody have a clue, how to get image? Some way to get data? Maybe some keyboard shortcuts, so i can disable lockscreen and make my way easier? And maybe disable 20 alarms in the morning?

I like to be helpful so I'll try to give you some suggestions but I hope others pitch in who know far more than I do.
I never use the USB cable anymore to operate my phone from my PC (but my screen isn't broken so your situation will be much harder).
I connect to my phone from Windows over Wi-Fi without USB all the time, and I can unlock my screen from the PC, and I can mount my entire Android device as a drive letter on Windows over Wi-Fi, etc., so "maybe" (just maybe though), you can consider using either a WebDav server on Android to access your files and/or adb to bring up and manipulate activities on Android....

However, I don't know if adb will work for you if you can't turn on USB debugging in the first place... but as of Android 12, adb now works completely over Wi-Fi (see screenshots below) without needing the USB cable to establish the initial connection like it used to be prior to Android 12.

If the screen problem is "just" hardware and not software, and if you can turn on Wireless Debugging, you might be able to display your phone over scrcpy or vysor (both of which use adb over Wi-Fi) as shown in the screenshots below on my phone - which never needs the USB cable connection.
Hope this helps, but you seem to need folks who know more than I do as adb/vysor/scrcpy all work for me because I can set up USB Debugging & Wireless Debugging as shown below.
Note that you might have an FTP server or a WebDav Server on your Android phone, and if you do, you might be able to at least transfer important files since they each can mount your entire Android phone as a drive letter on Windows over Wi-Fi (without needing the USB cable).

Ooops. My bad. I apologize. You'll need the USB cable in Android 11 for a moment to establish the connection first. Then you can switch over to Wi-Fi after that (or you can stay on USB).
