This actually works, ive done it myself, using a powered otg cable (homemade) i run the following command while plugged into mains and laptop :
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/bcmpmu_otg_xceiv/host
The device will disconnect from the adb mouse and you are free to plug in a mouse or most probably a keyboard also.
This would be a nice feature built into TWRP if this is possible, or even have it execute at the start up of TWRP for those of us with a powered OTG or willing to make one with a couple of old USB cables etc.
Obviously if the adb part of it disconnects it will be no use unless you have the OTG all plugged in.
Any thoughts on this ? its alot easier than using the adb mouse. Only not sure if this can be executed before the choice of system or recovery that comes on screen ? Cant see why not because you are connected as soon as that screen is up.
*EDIT
This does work as expected with a USB keyboard.

I suppose I could put a setting in the TWRP settings to switch between ADB and OTG. The only problem is if you put it in OTG mode, ADB will never work until you switch it back. But I guess as long as you can boot back in to the OS, I could make it easy to turn it off from there. And then I guess I could also make it so you could easily turn it on from the OS. I'll let you know.

I didnt want to tag you in this as you have already done alot for us all.
What I was thinking, (bare in mind ive no idea how to do ut myself, maybe if I had a little know how id attempt it)
would be to when TWRP boots and while its on the selection screen right before the timer is out if adb mouse has not been detected run that command, if adb mouse has been detected dont run. Have no idea if that's possible tho.

You know... I do like that. That's easy to do, because I already have a loop doing the countdown. So basically it starts out in ADB mode. Halfway through the countdown I check if there is an input device and if it's NOT the mouse emulator, switch the OTG mode. It'll take some tweaking, because right now the mouse gets disabled in the boot menu and I don't know the type of input device currently. But all that should be pretty doable.

Excellent, I was just messing around and made another powered otg lead yesterday and thought id try it while in TWRP. Was quite suprised when I ran the command then unplugged it from my laptop (still windows) ? then plugged mouse/keyboard in. Then had a think of how it could be implemented keeping everyone happy. I only made the otg to see if this fire stick would let me access usb storage, as i had a fire stick previously that let me read/write to usb, even had a hdd dock linked up to it too.
Unfortunately this fire stick wont let me access usb storage, no idea why the other was different.
Anyway great news ?

Hey guys,
I've rooted my KF and got everything running. Haven't plugged it into the computer for about a week and now that I do, the KF does not show up and does not even make the dung dung sound when you connect up a device.
What can I do to fix this problem?
I have restarted both the KF and the computer without luck

There's a few ways to get to promised land, and not all require the files associated with this process. Worth a shot:

Also, I assume the device is able to charge using the provided charger? Just checking the actual usb port...
Ya, the cable seems to charge but when plugging into the computer, there is no detection of a new usb device ...
Went through the video step by step. It's actually the same video I used to root. Get all the way till you plug in and have the device detect ... nothing. No where to go from there ...
Any suggestions?
Just connected the KF to a laptop and nothing shows up in the device manager either. No detection at all. WTF ...
Just tried a 3rd computer and no joy. Any thoughts?
This happened to me a couple of times where the Fire wasn't detected by the computer as a USB device and Kindle didn't pop up the mass storage message. After a hard reset it worked fine again. Hold down power for 20 sec and then hit power again to turn on.
Did a hard reset and still no luck ...
Just tried another cable ... it's not the cable ....
Can anyone offer any insight?
Have you tried a factory reset back to stock? Something somewhere is messed up, and it would end up being needle in haystack time trying to work out what the problem is. It shouldn't take too long to put things back to how they were post reset. If if doesn't work when stock, then you have potential hardware issues.
It's possible that one of the data pins is having issues on the Micro USB connector, especially if it still charges.
Looks like the USB port is hooped. It just stopped charging ....
I really need a guru here with this one! Dropped the phone last tuesday, screen cracked, and is no longer operable. Since the Nexus 4 has no SD card, I have no way of retrieving the data on it. When I plug the usb cable into the computer, it defaults to charging mode instead of mass storage mode to mount a drive on the computer. Screen is locked with my chosen pattern. Is there any way at all to make the the phone automatically mount the drive instead of going to charging mode?

Is your bootloader unlocked? Do you have USB debugging enabled?
I don't know the answer to either of those questions unfortunately. How would I know if debugging is enabled, or the bootloader is unlocked?

If you had done either of those things you probably would have known, but in case you forgot... Did you ever root your phone? If you did you would have had to unlock your bootloader. If you did not, did you ever boot into bootloader mode, connect your phone to your computer and used the command prompt to run the command "fastboot oem unlock"?
If you never did any of that I unfortunately don't think there is much to do about your phone.
I'm pretty sure I didn't do any of that.. Does it have to do anything with when you hold the volume down button and power button at the same time and it brings you to that android screen where you use the volume buttons as cursors up and down, and the power button to select items? I can get to that screen.....
I found this thread:
http://www.dotkam.com/2013/01/16/backup-and-reset-nexus-4-cracked-and-locked-screen/
but I'm not sure if it helps me or not......? That screen I was talking about is called fastboot
this is crazy, I just came across this thread, looks like it might be the answer to my problem, I hope!! I will update this thread after I give it a try:

In general, you can. You'd need to have ADB enabled though. You'd use the ADB pull command.
If anything, are you on stock with stock display size? Do you have apps that keep a persistent notification?
If not, I'd say you could try this;
Basically get someone to match your setup. They'd install any apps that you use which use persistent notifications to exactly match your setup. If none, have them take a picture (with an actual camera or another phone) of their 6P with the notification shade pulled down while plugged into a computer. Then another picture after they click "Charging Only" to switch it to MTP. If you can unlock the phone with the fingerprint scanner, and start up top to pull down your shade, you should be able to follow visual queues to enable MTP instead of charge only mode. Then you could at least navigate the folders on the phone and drag and drop your pictures to PC.
Edit: Assuming your screen still responds to touch, but is just black. Didn't see it specified. It's worth a shot.

God you people....if you have TWRP installed as recovery.....do this until it works right...timing is everything...hold the power button down(I know you won't know if/when it powers off) and hold down the volume up and power button when you think it powers up....volume up and power enters recovery directly, not bootloader....then you can connect to computer and transfer as twrp has adb enabled by default

No need to be so condescending. Especially since you offered OP a useless tip.
Why? As stated in their 1st post, their fingerprint scanner unlocks the phone. You can't have a fingerprint set without a pin, password or pattern. Since TWRP does not support fingerprint unlock, they would have to manually input their password for TWRP to access their data and have it show on a PC. As mentioned by OP above, the touch screen is non responsive. Meaning they cannot input their credentials to decrypt.
Edit: Just to confirm, I went to recovery and tried myself. Folders will not show up in file explorer on PC until TWRP is unlocked. ADB devices does show device ID as in recovery, but issuing ADB pull commands does not work. I pulled several folders and all I got was empty folders with no files. If they're encrypted (they said stock, so I'm just going to go ahead and assume they are encrypted) with password/pin/pattern (which we've already established is the case) this will not work.
@OP, I'm not sure of a way you'd be able to get into your pictures at present. Maybe someone with more technical knowledge could chime in, but as far as I can see you need to replace your screen. Either send it in to a repair shop, or DIY.
Here's a link for a new 6P screen (this is just the first link I found). Shop around yourself, see if you can find better prices & also be wary of reviews:
https://www.fixez.com/store/more-brands/huawei/huawei-google-nexus-6p
Here's a few how-to links:
https://www.etradesupply.com/blog/how-to-replace-a-cracked-nexus-6p-screen/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3j79xygFoQ
so i have used a usb-c hub with an hdmi port and usb port - then hook up phone to a monitor (not computer) and i had a pattern lock - it was really annoying as i had to guess where the dots were as the monitor doesnt show you where the dots are - but i used my mouse to unlock it - if you have a number lock it is easier to unlock - as you just makesure numlock is on then type in your passcode - once there you should be able to navigate round your phone using a mouse - turn on debugging and make sure you have the usb connection set to MTP (media transfer protocol) instead of charge only - id also take off all locking mechanisms to make it easier for yourself - then plug it in your pc and transfer all files across
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?

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....

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.

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.

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?

Please see this thread here on Xda. It has the commands to enable usb debugging and also control a phone with broken screen. I seen your thread and thought this could help. Good luck & God bless.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion!
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.
My $125 reward is still available for anyone who could help me with that via TeamViewer (or any other way.)

So Im waiting on a replacement screen (it started as crazy graphics all over screen, not completely blank, but responds to input), and its taking forever. I knew I had ADB debug enabled, so wondered if I can control the phone via PC.
Behold there are few ways this can be done.
Long story short......in adb, my phones shows as ADB DEVICES : UNAUTHROIZED
Is there anyway I can authorize the adb request between computer/phone?
Its a stock OnePlus 5.....so no custom recovery and not rooted :-/
You could guestimate the area or the enter button of the dialog, and use a mouse connected via USB otg to click it

Best way would be to use a displaylink adapter do you can see the screen.
If you can make it through the menus you'd need to install the app which can be done from a PC, just push it to the device, then advanced, then turn on usb, then allow the app. Then the screen will be shown on a monitor.
Either that or change the screen.
I got it working......I had to boot up an old laptop hard drive I had that was Auth'd. It let me do what I needed.
