Alternative method to access locked phone w broken screen?

Hi, thanks in advance for helping.
This is the situation.
I want to backup as much as possible items from my phone since it's broken, but:
- The screen is broken
- Device is locked
- USB debugging is DISabled.
I already searched a lot and tried the cmd adb commands to unlock it, but since usb debugging is disabled my device is not found..
I also tried to unlock my device using findmymobile, but somehow it won't unlock it.
I am now able to get Kies to recognize my phone (using recovery mode) and Kies of course noticed my device is locked.
Before I go to the store and buy that OTG cable, I was wondering if there is any way to change the registry of Kies and trick it into thinking my device is not locked. Sorry if this is a really weird question to ask.
OR is there any other way I can unlock my phone from my laptop? I know the pin code, so that is not the problem.
Thanks in advance.

nexus 4 - broken screen and usb debugging turned off

Hi
I have a nexus4 that has a broken screen, it is, it doesnt react to the finger touch, and doesnt have usb debug enabled
What could i do to extract the files from there?
I have seen that connecting a mouse via usb is not an option as this device is not compatible with that, so i think the only option i have is to flash the device to have usb debugging enabled
Is there any other option i can explore?
Thanks

I am sure that you can enter your recovery assuming that your power + vol button is still functioning.
Try to connect your device using Wug Tool and use the tool to back up all the files.
Give it a try and let us know.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Thanks
Yes, i can get in recovery, but, i assume i would need to unlock the bootloader first, isnt it? If i do it, i will erase all the documents inside

Hi
I have tried getting into recovery, but, as expected, as usb debugging is not enabled, i cant see the device from adb
So, the key question is... how can i enable usb debug in a device with the screen broken and with bootloader locked, without wiping the data?
Thanks

It is possible to turn on usb debugging?
I have clean phone - after factory reset.

Activate USB Debugging

Hello Everyone!
Can somebody inform me on how to activate USB debugging when the screen is locked with a pin and the phone has stock software? Samsung phone with Nougat SW.

...
I have gotten this far with my windows 10 laptop which has adb tools installed:
Boot the phone the phone into Recovery Mode.
Select System Mount
Connect to PC and open CMD and change folder path where adb tools is located.
type adb devices in terminal
Now, the issue is that I see is a number followed by "unauthorized". I am trying to use commands such as adb shell, but seems like I am not allowed? I'm assuming it's because the phone is not USB Debug Enabled. I have a different phone which has USB Debug Enabled and adb shell commands are working perfectly. Any way to use shell commands or work arounds? Thanks in advance!

It is not possible to activate Debugging Mode with a locked screen. AFAIK it never was and it never will. And this is good as it is.

3. Boot your phone into ClockworkMod Recovery, by pressing and holding the Power Button + Home Button + Volume Up or Down, depending on your phone

Why or even HOW should he have ClockworkMod installed? your guide also is for making a Backup out of cwm when the touch is broken and not for activating debug mode

Help to recover data from broken screen phone

Hi,
dont know if here is the correct section, if isnt tell me.
i have a samsung galaxy s7 edge that the screen does not work (its black) but the touchscreen still alive, now the problem is that i have some data i want to backup but i cant unlock the phone beacuse i dont know if im using a wrong password or something else... i can think of some solutions, but i dont know if they are possible.
1) download some apps to screen mirroring the phone on my pc: the usb debugging mode is not enabled.
2) enter into recovery mode and use the adb: the pc recognize the phone but when i tried to use the commands adb shell,push,pull... reponse with "error: closed" msg, i think its because usb debugging mode is not enabled.
3) clone the memory of the phone and install it on some emulator or another phone???
4) i have another s7 edge, change the screen until i backup the data???
Someone can help me or give me some tips? i dont know what to do now, im googling a lot and anything works, all because USB DEBUGGING isnt enabled, perhaps if i can enable it using the adb without unlock the phone (remember i dont know if im using the correct password i need some tries).
Thank you,
Cheers.

Broken screen, rooted, no usb debugging, twrp installed - is there a way to access the data?

I think the title says it all. I have a broken screen and I'd rather just move to a new phone than repair this just to lift a few text messages and app settings.
My problem is as follows: I always had to enable usb debugging (repeatedly) and then confirm my PC to be able to access the device through adb. Obviously, with no working screen it is not possible.
I managed to blindly boot into bootloader (I think) - power + volume down, the device shows in fastboot but I can't do much there that I know of.
I tried connecting through a USB hub to a HDMI screen, but nothing showed on the screen (and I tried it in the past with similar results)
edit: I managed to boot into twrp (power + volume up), and I have shell access there + decryption of the data partition worked. Now I wonder if it is possible to find a way to control the device's GUI via USB.
