[Q] How to controlls defy+ without screen - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I need help. A few days ago I broke the screen on my Defy + so, that the screen can not see anything, but the phone probably working correctly. Is possible to control the phone with computer without a screen of cell phone? The phone is now turned off, so I need to turn on, insert my PIN code and backup necessary data. Is this possible? Please help.
Thank you.

No more vibration after falling down

Some day ago my trinity accidentally fell down and the vibration hasn't worked anymore...
When I shake it I hear like a click clack noise like there something loose inside.
Maybe something it's broken and I can fix it, can you help me? Where is located the solenoid of vibration? Do you have pics?
Thank you.
You need to disassemble Trinity! Vibration solenoid is near to external speaker. There is a screw which it locks. This screw has got out. It is necessary to return the screw on a place.
(sorry for my english, but this is online translator)
Thank you, I'll try and let you know

Run bootloader mode (hold Power button and Camera and softreset with stylus) Try to upgrade with official WM5 rom.

Touch input broken- alternative input methods?

I was given two Nexus 4 units with fractured glass to tinker with- I'd like to use them to just run a data processing app as a lower powered server. The problem is that the touch input appears to be completely dead on one unit, and only 30% of the screen responds to touch on the other!
I can't even get past the welcome screen, which is problematic. Can someone help me come up with a way to get an alternative input? I just want to get in far enough to install the app and run it, I'm thinking either via remote desktop or keyboard/mouse via OTG cable.
Both units have stock roms, which means USB debugging is off and apparently OTG support doesn't exist either. I'm feeling like I hit a brick wall here. Is there anything I can do, or are these units useless? Can a custom rom with OTG support be installed perhaps through recovery? Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful, thanks!
Try the phone which works 30% screen by rotating in 90 degrees or 180 degree and then try to select the menu options. If it works then you can try for something.

Problem is that the homescreen doesn't rotate. I needed to click "next" in the bottom right corner to advance past the welcome screen, and I couldn't!
But I was able to pull down the top bar and get into settings from there, and turn on USB debugging. Once I did that, I downloaded and ran a remote control app that I could sideload with ADB and set up what I wanted to run there. So at least I got ONE working. But the other one which has no touch input working at all, I'm just hitting a brick wall with that one.
Is there no way to install a custom rom with a non-functional screen?
Similar problem
Hi Dishe, did you find any solution to this problem. I'm in a similar situation but worse since my phone was encrypted and some points does not work on screen. If you've find any alternative please let me know.

Have you tried BT mouse?
Unfortunately the device cannot boot up since it is encrypted, so cannot make any connections.

Can you format the partitions through TWRP and upload the new ROM?
Or try the following:
fastboot format userdata
Thanks for your concern. Meanwhile, I've installed the stock rom via fastboot cli and phone works now. I've lost all my data and touch panel is nonresponsive on the right side of the screen but at least I can make calls now.
Anyway I need to replace either screen or the phone itself.

Replacing the screen may be unprofitable. It is better to buy BT mouse and use the N4 for special tasks. Anyway, you yourself decide.

[HELP]Moto X Style (XT1572) BRICKED

Hey Guys,
So I received my Moto X Style (XT1572) today, and after about 6hrs of regular usage, (and a battery charge in between), the screen just blacked out.
Now I am unable to boot it in anyway possible
Note: THE PHONE DOES VIBRATES WHEN I HOLD THE POWER BUTTON FOR ABOUT 8-10s
I have tried opening recovery/bootmenu - Unsuccessful: The screen doesn't show anything at all, the vibration is still there though.
Any help as fast as possible will be appreciated as I will probably return the device and exchange it for something else.

Turn on the phone. Connect your motorola (via usb) to your computer. If the computer recognize the phone as a MTP/Usb mass storage device the screen is bricked. If your computer recognize a device called QHSUSB the firmware/bootloader is bricked.

$125 reward if you help me to turn on USB debugging mode on my Nexus 6P broken screen

Hello guys,
I have broken the screen of my Nexus 6P and I really want to save my data before moving to a new phone.
I've found several applications to control phone from PC, but all of them needs USB debugging mode enabled, which is unfortunately disabled on my phone.
I read here on the forum some method to enable USB debugging from PC via USB cable, but I'm not an expert and I can't do it.
My phone is locked by screen lock (PIN code, of course I know the code), and the phone is NOT rooted, OS is the original one (with all the updates installed.)
If any of you guys would be able turn on USB debugging on my phone without losing my data, I will be glad to reward his efforts by $125 and a HUGE "Thank you"! Money will be sent via PayPal, remote session could be done via TeamViewer.
I really hope someone of you can do it!
Thank you in advance!
How is the screen broken?
Is it just not responding to touch? Is the lcd shattered or dead black?
---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 AM ----------
If you can see even a little of the screen, grab a usb-c OTG cable ( https://goo.gl/BzUKno ) and use a wired pc mouse to make all entries needed.

i have good news for you as other have said you need an otg cable i tested with this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01COOQIKU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it worked with this mouse and keyboard combo https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DKZTMG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 im sure other will work but thats what i tested with once it is connected swiping up is a bit hard i was just trying to drag it all the way up at first but to get to the pin screen you will need to do it in a flicking up motion then just you the the number keys on the keyboard and unlock then the next best this is probably to try and cast the screen so your not blind if you cant and you get it unlocked these are the steps ...
1. unlock clicking and swiping mouse up then enter pin and hit enter.
2. down twice on keyboard and then enter to get to app drawer
3. type settings hit enter twice
4. down 11 times enter.
5. down 3 times enter.
6. down 13 times enter right once and enter.
usb debugging should be enabled that is for android 8.0
ps if you dont have developer mode enabled it will be different if so tell me ill count it out for you for that too.
For $125.....
For damn near the cost of the reward, you could get another screen/assembly and swap the guts, having a fully working device again....

Thanks a lot, I'll order it from Amazon and try it. If it works I'll send you the reward, thank you very much again! (P.S. Developer mode is enabled. However I'm not sure if I have Android 7 or 8.0 on my device. Is it different on 7?)

If OEM unlocking is on / bootloader is unlocked, you can try flashing twrp recovery(after unlocking bootloader) and check if files show up on pc (I think MTP mode is on by default in twrp).
Perhaps trying this.

without usb debugging.
try adb push/pull or sideload recovery, i think no need for usb debugging to be enabled here.

I'm afraid I'm not able to do what you described (I'm not an expert at all), that's why I need someone who will help me. Moreover I need not only the files but it would be optimal to get full access to the phone, first of all because I need to use google authenticator. That's why I need usb debugging mode to be turned on so badly.

If possible, I prefer to be able to turn on usb debugging mode because then I can get full control on my phone and control it from my laptop, not only getting able to save my files. I need it mostly because I need to use Google Authenticator on my phone.

I've tried to do it as you described.
1. I successfully unlocked the screen by typing my pin code, I can even hear the audio confirmation (ie. unlock sound). Fortunately I have to do it only once because after the first successfully unlock I can use the fingerprint reader to unlock the screen
2. Once the screen is unlocked, I hit twice the "down" button on the attached keyboard. I think something is going wrong here, because after the first "down" I can hear the audio confirmation (ie. keyboard sound), and after the second one I can't hear anything as if I stepped down on a list which has ended already. Any idea what do I do wrong?

The thread you linked says I should enable usb debugging via recovery using this code:
Code:
Adb shell
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >>/system/build.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >>/system/build.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb" >>/system/build.prop"
reboot
Unfortunately I have no idea how to do that.

Turning on device without power button

Hi all!
My device’s power button is misfunctioning, and in the future my phone will probably run out of battery.
Thus, I need to find a way to turn on my device without using the power button.
I have read a lot, and I think that there are 3 ways of doing so:
Using Samsung 300K Tool (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/samsung-300k-tool-t3847487) – This option is not working for me, the software doesn’t read my phone.
Entering Download Mode – It is supposed that when pressing Volume Down + Home + Pluging in the phone, it will enter Download Mode, but I have been unable of doing so.
Using ADB – When the phone is off, the device doesn’t appear in the list when typing adb devices.
I think that is a driver problem, but I have installed the drivers from here (https://samsungusbdriver.com/download/samsung-driver-v1-7-11-0) and when the phone is turned on, ADB recognizes the phone perfectly, it is listed as “device”. I suppose that the driver problem is only when the device is off, because when I plug the phone turned off, windows throws a message saying “USB device not recognized. The last USB you connected malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it”. I have tried to install manually the drivers, but it said “You have the best drivers already installed”. Also, I have enabled USB Debugging.
Does anyone can help me? Maybe I’m missing something (some configuration parameter or whatever) that prevents the PC to recognize the phone when it is turned off?
Thank you very much in advance!!!
If the phone is off ADB can't work, that's not a driver problem.
