Hi, Today I dropped my phone and the screen is gone. the phone inside is still alive. I need to mirror the screen onto my computer so that I can sort some things out on it. Is this possible without put a client onto the phone? It is rooted.
Thanks.

you can do it with a microusb to hdmi cable, no actions required - but your touchscreen must be operative, otherwise you can do nothing. If you want to recover files simply connect device to a pc

I have the lg g2 it still works when I get calls and texts but I can't unlock my phone to get file access when plugging it through USB to the computer I have important files I need any help would literally save my life.
What sort of screen lock are you using and how damaged is the digitizer ie is it all dead or can you still use some of the screen to interact?
You may need to buy USB to go plug insert USB mouse into it then into LG g2 and get in there unlock phone insert USB computer cable and then transfer files to computer and then be rid of it.
You can also use some of the suggestions mentioned here.
Good luck
Also do you plan to go for a diff phone, because if it is just a screen replacement i don't think they will wipe out your phone.
The screen isn't responsive at all and I can't see anything on it I have a pass word not a pattern or number sequence. Like I said when I plug it in the computer recognizes the phone just won't let me access anything without entering the password.
Is set on charge only then?
Can you access the phone via ADB? You could reboot to recovery, even stock recovery and access through ADB command line.
Dropped phone, screen + digitizer is broken. I have never rooted my phone. I didn't put a screen lock luckily, and I know the USB debugger is off.. Is there any way I can still download an app or do something via the android manager on my computer remotely to see my phone's screen on my mac?
Long and short of it is a company replaced a shattered screen. Then, the new screen began to peel away and then the connection became so bad that the screen is not functional. I just get a blank screen. I need to rip all of that data off the old phone so I can back it up and put it on a new phone (courtesy of the company that replaced the screen).
Here's where it gets tricky. The USB connection mode is charge only. I need to set it to MTP, but can't because the screen has lost all functionality. Without MTP, neither Android File Transfer nor Smart switch can't connect to the phone. I think Sidesync would work, but I can't install it on my phone.
An MHL cable won't help because it mirrors what is on the screen, but I can't select anything....
Are there any tricks out there that can help me before I have to send the old phone back in?
Thanks in advance!
You'll have to try fixing it temporarily . youtube has some good info

You can try and take a phone with the same os. If you have 2 computers its best (maybe one laptop or something). Turn both the phones off and connect them both to the computers and turn them both on. Look at the one that you see his screen and press the same places on your phone..

I'm in the same boat, have you found a way?
Hi,
I just cracked the upper left corner of my Wileyfox Storm. there's a burst from the top to he bottom of my phone which resulted in an error of the touchscreen, it's not working at all. I tried to connect my phone via USB cblae to my computer so I can restore my files to de PC but it's not connecting at all...:crying:
At first I had the usual scren to enter my PIN code for my Simcard, but now it is gettin ON/OFF constantly (probably untill the battery dies).
Any one who can help me to restore my files ?
I was in same situation. Answer: You cant get files unless you replace your screen.. BUT if You decide to replace screen, You wont find replacements on the web to buy them, and You will have to send phone to Wileyfox, the'll say that it's no longer supported, or if they will fix it, it will be wiped completely.
After braking stom i bought N5 and im happy as hell
If you open the phone it is possible to disconnect the touch panel and get the phone to start. With a USB otg connector you can navigate with a mouse. With a USB hub you can also connect a pc (mouse required to enable file transfer) at the same time or you can transfer the files via WiFi / Bluetooth (sloooow)

Hi,
I broke my LCD display a couple of months ago still, I managed to use the phone with the epaper display and eventually reinstall it without clearly writing down the exact procedure (with Lolipop)
Today, as my Marshmallow update freezed, I had to wipe all, thinking well I could easily find the steps to start the phone again.
The only problem remains that Setup Wizard wants us to use the LCD display, and I can't.
The last time I managed to use screen mirroring on Windows, with androidscreencast-0_3_1.jnlp, which is dicontinued.
To that extend, I allowed USB debugging (three lines to add) on system/build.prop and default.prop and copied a file from my computer (adbkeys.pub) to a certain folder in the device, to allow my PC to operate on the cellphone
But that last step doesn't work anymore.
I can see a dialog briefly popping up on the yotaphone, prompting me to allow the computer for debugging, but I can't click.
Droid Explorer tells me that this yotaphone is not allowed in $Vendor (or so on, I can't remember well).
So I managed to authorize the screen mirroring before, to start the phone, but I can't right now, although I found a new app, androidscreencast-0.0.10s-executable.jar.
I would have to copy adbkeys.pub to data/misc/adb/adb_keys, but as of today, that directory doesn't exist.
Can somebody please help me with that?
Thanks,
Hi,
I solved a similar situation by plugging a mouse to the phone using a usb to micro USB adapter (also called USB OTG adapter).

Thank you for answering. And what do it do to plug a mouse?
I've made it : the phone starts again.
If anyone is interested, I'll tell the trick for a broken front screen like mine.
Now I'm looking forward to make an image backup of it as it is very fresh if it can save me or others !
And I need advices for that?
Hi!!!
I have the sale problem
How did you bypass the wizzard???
hi. how do you bypass setup wizard? i had mine reset due to stuck. before im using only back screen. please help!
My front screen also stopped working all of a sudden without me doing anything. I was able to use the eInk so I did a factory reset. Now however I'm stuck since I can't boot the phone without a working front screen. I was wondering if a software issue stops the front screen from working and if there is a way to check/fix it.
