hi,
I am looking for a ROM I can flash via ODIN and has USB Debugging enabled. It can be any android version.
The reason : my screen is totally broken (both LCD and digitizer). I want to use the phone as a security camera. However, to accomplish this I have to control the phone somehow. There is a way but it requires ADB access which I don't have since USB Debugging was not enabled before the screen broke, and I can't enable it now.
And in case there is such ROM but for CWM only, is it possible to convert it to Odin file?
Thanks a lot.
Hi all,
I greatly need your help or some advice. I searched for more than 6h yesterday and Im surprised I couldnt find a solution to my problem.
Typical stuff : I broke the screen of my Nexus 4, that is completely stock 5.0.1. The phone is unrooted, bootloader is locked and obviously USB Debugging is disabled.
I need to backup some data from my phone : pictures, notes and if possible my contacts.
When I connect my phone via USB to my PC, I cant browse my files since my screen is locked. My screen is not responding at all, so no way I can unlock it. Only thing I can do is install new applications on my phone, but no way to launch them since I'd need to unlock my screen again.
I have installed adb and fastboot in order to try and use Android Screen Control, but I dont have USB Debugging enabled.
So I read that I could sideload a kernel that has USB Debugging enabled by default.
I got into Recovery Mode, and tried sideloading a zip file containing a Kernel found on the forum, but I always get an error saying the footer is wrong and the signature of the file didnt pass verification. I guess I can only sideload OTA updates ?
I tried fastbooting CWM recovery, that also didnt work.
adb devices command lists my 'recovery' device.
At this stage, all I need is to either be able to unlock my phone so I can access my files via USB (i tried few apps without success), or to enable USB debugging so I can connection using sideload, use Android Screen Control, reset the pattern lock, and backup my phone.
Also, USB OTG isnt enabled by default on Nexus 4, so that's another dead-end
So what are my options ? Where could I find a kernel that has USB Debug enabled, and how can I sideload it considering phone is not rooted, and bootloader is locked (unlocking it and whipping data defies the purpose).
THANK YOU for any advice!
There is nothing you can do with a locked bootloader and no custom recovery. Sorry man, but you're not going to be able to access your data.

I've exactly the same problem, but my bootloader is unlocked and I'm rooted.
I'm also on a Nexus 4 with 5.0.1 and I'm trying to get control over my device from my Windows PC. But I don't know which kernel to use and how (yet) to enable USB debugging.
Help is appreciated.

All you need is a custom recovery to boot into to access your files. If you don't have one, download the latest version of twrp from here. http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/mako
Then flash that using fastboot. If you need help let us know.

Hmm, "error: cannot load 'open recovery-twrp-2.3.2.3-mako'.
Sure usb-debugging doesn't have to be enabled?

You have an ancient version of twrp. Install the latest. I'm positive you don't need usb debugging enabled.

Yes, you're so right! I also missed .img in the command
But what kernel would you recommend me to use so I have usb-debugging I can have usb-debugging enabled?
I am in almost completely the same situation! My N4 fell yesterday and shattered at the bottom right hand corner. No the touch screen doesn't work and there are sections of the screen that are black. However, I have...
root
cwm recovery
stock 5.0.1 kernel
windows 7
adb not working
fastboot working
usb debugging disabled
a need for usb debugging to become enabled.
I would like a kernel with usb debugging enabled and instructions on how to install it. Or if you have another fix, instructions on that.
My phone screen has broken and I cannot get my phone fixed until the end of the week. I was wondering if someone knew where I could get a custom ROM to enable USB debugging so I can mirror my phone screen to my computer? I have tried looking online but I couldn't find anything. Does this exist?
twrp and use adb over it
Hi, I'm an OnePlus 6T owner and I have problem. I recently broke the display of my phone and now the screen can't turn on. Is there a way to extract the files from the phone? My default mode for connecting to a computer is charging and I can't simply transfer the files to my PC. Also, I don't think I have USB debugging on. If anyone knows a method that I can try, please post it.
I don't know if this requires usb debugging to be on but trying "adb pull" might work.

It does.
The first thing I do is turn on USB debugging on all my phones.
Right after BL unlock and root that is.
Hi,
I need some help from experts.
My screen is broken and black, I can't interact with phone anymore but i know it is booting properly.
I think the only option for me is to stream the screen through adb using a tool like Vysor.
For this I need adb but usb debugging is off. I can access fastboot though.
Question, is there a way to enable USB debugging is this kind of situation?
Any other ideas?
Thx
