Hi I have a S5 Neo, practically it is broken me the display and it is not seen anything, but the device correctly works. From different guides I have read as to activate the Debug to broken screen, and it would serve me the custom recovey (ClockworkMod) to use the commands adb shell, therefore to activate the debug. The ClockworckMod is not compatible with my telephone as, another way it exists for using the commands adb with broken screen? Thanks

So that's it, my Nexus 4's front glass is broken to where I can only use half the screen. I want to unlock this thing and use ShareKM (Lets me use my mouse and keyboard from my computer on my phone) and Airdroid too I guess. The reason I need help is I can't type in my PIN to unlock the phone and even if I could, I doubt I'd be able to navigate to either ShareKM or Airdroid to start them up. Is there any adb command or otherwise to forward the pin to my phone through usb and then a command to start up the apps? I just wanna be able to use it and get some stuff off before I send it in to be repaired. Thanks in advance.
Not sure about unlocking the pin through adb, but you could use adb pull to copy the files that you need off the phone.
Maybe try this tool
This will only work if your phone is rooted and I hope you enabled usb debugging and unknown sources, otherwise I don't know what to do...
If you will have passed the lockscreen, you should be able to install ShareKM and Airdroid via ADB (if you have the .apk). But I don't know if it's possible to activate ShareKM without using the touchscreen.
But just to get your data off your phone, simply use
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/
then you have a backup of your music/photos/etc
Use adb while in recovery mode. Twrp supports that. Pull the sdcard like the above post suggests.

My daughter dropped her HDX 7 and the screen shattered. I was able to secure a new one for her but she had some serious sweat equity into a few games she was playing on the old one. I am trying to get the game files of the old one to move to the new one but the touch screen won't work and as such, will not take her password. (due to the drop).
Is there an easy way to bypass this? I am trying to access the kindle drive from my PC for purposes of copying the files (done a million times) but with the device technically locked, the device does not show in file explorer.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thank You!
Chris
Do you have Safestrap installed?

No I don't. The device is purely vanilla right as it came from the factory.
Chriss9, you should try to get adb working. That should allow you to pull data.

Can you tell me where to get it and maybe some instructions? Thanks so much!!

Look into the rootkit in the dev section. That should install the drivers for you. Then, search for how to use adb. You may need to download the developer kit from Google as the toolkit is a little limited.
You need to pull the data to your computer then push it to the new Kindle.
ADB pull on locked phone? // Simulate input
It may be that ADB pull won't work with a locked (stock) device... But of course you could still give it a try.
Here is a smaller download of the ADB:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
However another possible way to use the ADB for your purpose would be:
Code:
adb shell
input tap x y
Where you would use the input tap x y to simulate a screen tap. Tapping the screen "virtually" since it's broken. This way you could unlock it (and then use the pull command). For x y and you have to insert the correct screen position of the keys on the keyboard. I haven't tested it, but we could give it a try. Just tell us if you have any luck connecting through ADB!

Thanks for the suggestion. I installed ADB on my PC and when I use "ADB DEVICES" my device does not show on the list though it does show in Windows explorer. Am I out of luck here?
Thank you again for your kind support.

Assuming you have the latest Fire OS 4.5.1 : (If you have the older version installed there may still be a glimpse of hope (see long answer))
Short answer: Sorry, looks grim.
Your ADB is switched off and there is no way I know of to switch it on.
I wanted to make sure it wasn't just a driver issue with your computer so I checked with my Kindle:
ADB set off: Kindle in Windows, but not detected by ADB-program
ADB set on: Kindle in Windows and detected by ADB-program
Long answer (may be frustrating to read because it states all the possibilities the Kindle lacks): On a nonlocked (in terms of bootloader, not screenlock) device there would have been some possibilities. Install a custom recovery that has ADB built in and pull the files or try to enable ADB from within recovery inside the ROM. If the device could act as a USB host a mouse or keyboard could have been hooked up. The Kindle supports Bluetooth input devices but they have to be set up first (from within the device, not possible without touch). If your device has older Fire OS you could try the mentioned steps, however that's beyond my expertise. So I don't know if it is possible/will work. You'd have to check other threads about flashing the device or hope that someone else posts advice in this thread.
I became a Kindle owner quite recently, so I can't guarantee everything I wrote is correct, but I believe as long as noone magically finds a way to unlock the bootloader the more experienced users will agree to my post.
Did you install the driver as well? I recommended the toolkit because comes with the driver and if you are not used to installing adb drivers on Windows, it can be a bear. But, Grtschnk may be right. I always enable it n all my devices. It is the first thing I do.
Just to be really sure about possible driver issue: You (chris) could try to connect an Android phone via ADB (I'm assuming you have one). Enable ADB on it and see if connects. Unfortunately this will only prove more that your Kindle turned into a piece of plastic :/
Grtschnk, unfortunately, that won't prove anything. ADB requires separate drivers for each device. Again, that is why I recommended the rootkit. It sets it up for you and can even test it.
That's why I compared with my Kindle, computer and S2 (CM11). Newly set up computer, no SDK, just Minimal ADB. Never installed special drivers for Kindle or S2. Newest Visual Studio (2013) runs on the machine, but without additional packages there is no Android support.
However if I was in the situation myself I would have also tried the full SDK.
So, my digitizer is broke and I can't see anything or use the touch.
I am able to get into recovery mode with ADB and I tried some echo lines to manually activate debug mode, so that I can have my device authorized to use with ADB afterwards.
I'm trying to use Androidscreencast, but I need to make it work with ADB first and since I get device unauthorized it means that I don't have usb debugging enabled.
The final question : How can I activate debug mode without a screen?
You need to flash a kernel that has usb debugging enabled by default and has disabled that RSA security check.
So I think that what you want is nearly impossible.
I tried to pull and push default.prop and build.prop and I managed to do it, but when I reboot the phone it goes back to the older versions of the files...I don't know why the files don't remain, even though when I check with ls -l in adb shell it is the today's version.
In the end I managed to read my sms, by pulling out the database from the telephony folder and load it with some sql db reading software.
I am wondering around the internet to learn any method to disable MTP/PTP/all usb stuff except charging.
So, why i want this?
Because i want my device to be secure.
I don't anyone to sneak around and try to go into bootloader or recovery/connection to a pc etc to set my device to make a fresh start/copying data and end my privacy up.
So is there a way to disable those functions?
And if it is possible then what? Will it be secured?
And the big question is that can i enable it through recovery (from adb or moving mobile files) as you know if one has a messed up rom then he/she should have those functions workable.

delete mtpApplication.apk in syste/priv-app and in dev options..deflag debug usb
anyway ...not tried because i don't use pin in LS--but in S6 when phone is locked with pin is not recognized with PC
So will it disable the mobile to connect to a pc through bootloader?
I found this on a web:
.
The most device-compatible way to disable everything is to run this command at startup or set this in your build.prop:
Code:
setprop persist.sys.usb.config none
which is equivalent to charge-only on all Android devices.
That also disables adb. If you use adb regularly, then:
Code:
setprop persist.sys.usb.config adb
will allow adb when developer options are turned on/checked. If you don't use ADB often, I would not recommend it, because setting adb causes my S5 to still recognize in device manager, even when it is locked.
To restore original functionality,
Code:
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,ptp,adb
allows all USB protocols.
Afternoon -
I am looking to enable ADB on my Inseego. I can get to fastboot, and flashing is unlocked but I can't determine a means of enabling ADB on the device to extract the partitions to be able to flash.
On Netgear's for example, you can enable ADB via AT commands, but there isn't the same ability here as far as I can tell.
Figured it out
Would you mind posting your solution?
Does adb give you full root and AT command access?
Yes, the Inseegos use sneaky ways to enable the ADB interface.
I have a MiFi 8800L and it enables multiple interfaces through an HID command.
Do you have an HID interface showing on this?
Nope, if you could walk me through the steps that would be incredible!
Could you please post the solution?
