If touch screen doesnt work I dont think you can.

I have the exact same problem. After the latest update on my black tmobile G2 (d801), my touchscreen does not work at all. I had to get an OTG cable and connect a mouse to it to unlock the screen and do anything w/ the phone. Have done a factory wipe, as well as reflashed multiple different images, including reverting back to stock. Nothing works.

I found some programs that can make you control your mobile though PC but all of it needs a client to be installed on the phone, is there anyway to bypass this client or give a command to unlock the screen , wifi is turned on the mobile?

Help, S5 with broken screen, cannot backup.

I ran over my phone and broke the screen on my s5. It will boot up and everything works accept my screen is black, digitizer is not responding to finger touch. My phone didn't have a passcode only swipe to unlock. Its running Marshmellow OS. When I connect to kies it reports the phone is locked and I need to enter the passcode on the device. I used "findmymobile" to unlock the phone and I can hear it unlock but Kies still says its locked. Can someone please help?

unfortunately I do not have USB bugging on. This is going to be challenging but I'll give it a try

If you put a new screen on the phone you won't loose your data, just get a new digitizer.

yeah but the digitizer is like $150 CAN, Are there cheaper ones available?

Read a post on another forum saying someone with the same problem, USB Debugging disabled and broken screen, managed to backup by booting the phone in recovery mode / safe mode, and using KIES to create a backup

[HELP] Broken touchscreen on encrypted Nexus 4

Hi guys,
i tried searching the forums, but i can seem to find a solution (if it exists) to my specific problem.
The story is that i had broken my touch screen to the point where only about 1,5 - 2 cm from above are working. I am stuck at the screen where i have to enter the password to decrypt and start android, but i can't press those buttons.
So, the question is: is there any possibility at all to access the data on the phone? Some way to externally control the phone? Would ADB work in this situation?
Thank you in advance for the help.

Well, if you had a custom kernel flashed, using USB OTG and a mouse could help you get your stuff back.

i don't think i had a custom kernel, i didn't modify anything in the phone. It was not rooted.

So i was able to enter the menu from where i can choose recovery mode. Is there any way to proceed from here?
I tried to use ADB, but it won't see my phone, neither does fastboot. Maybe i didn't install Nexus 4 drivers, since windows told me that the device is not properly installed, when i connected it in recovery mode.

Recover data from S8 with broken screen

Hi everyone!
I broke my S8 screen completely by dropping it (the phone is still working, not know if the touch still works).
I want to recover WhatsApp backup folder and DCIM folder (i had no backup service enabled, nor samsung account, nor google photo or gdrive), so i thought to go ahed through ADB. Anyway adb list no devices until i unlock my phone through pattern code ( i had no facial/retina/fingerprint mode set).
So i thought to proceed through download mode, flash twrp through odin and access adb through twrp. Anyway it looks like i cannot use odin to flash until i trigger on "OEM Unlock" in developer options which i can't do no more cause of the broken screen.
Is there another way to enable OEM Unlock which doesn't require touch input? Or is there any other way to recover my two folders?
A big thanks for everyone who could help

You can use an otg adapter and a mouse and try to replicate your pattern code and after your in just transfer your files. If you happen to have a second cell phone I would suggest you practise a bit on that screen first so you can replicate the exact movements to unlock your phone. Had an issue with my s6 edge and that worked like a charm.

If you don't know how to recover data from S8 phone, just use an Android data recovery software, it can help you recover data from an broken Android device, it is really simple to finsih the recovery process. And you can preview and recover the data from your broken phone, so that you don't lose these data.

Log into Samsung Find my mobile. Use your Samsung Account details to log in.
There you will see alot of options that you can perform on your Galaxy S8 remotely.
Use the remotely unlock my device option to unlock your device.
Then connect your phone to the Laptop or PC using data cable and recover the data.
Hope it helps.

LeEco broken screen ;-;

Hello, my leeco has a break in the screen and the touch keys do not work anymore. If I buy a generic brand screen and not the original one, will I still be able to use custom ROMS?

Of course. There's no reason a generic screen won't let you use custom roms.
