Hi guys,
So the thing is my Xperia x compact screen went black, it actually drowned... The device seems to bee working, because it connects to PC ant it had a smartwatch connected to it, so i receive email notifications and so on. But the screen is just black, i do not have USB debugging turned on, the device is not rooted.
The biggest issue is that i need the data inside the phone, like my 2fa codes and similar jiberish, which would be a pain it the a*s to recover...
Is there any way what so ever to recover this data? Or maybe is there some way to enable USB debugging remotely? Or is there any way to view the phones screen on pc without usb debugging? I tried adb command lines, but it does not see the device "adb devices" list is empty
Thanks in advance guys

My display just went blank all of the sudden. No image. The backlight works, the touchscreen works, everything works, except the display. I've done some research and I'm pretty sure this is a hardware problem.
I plugged into my PC and pulled the images off, but I really need a backup of the text messages on the phone.
I tried a "remote control" app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395, but it won't work because ADB can't find my device.
My phone is not rooted. I'm certain the ADB utility and phone drivers are installed, but USB debugging won't enable when I connect my phone to my PC. I'm certain USB debugging is enables, but it won't activate. I believe it's because it's connected as "media device" and it should be connected as an "internet device". Problem is, I can't see what I'm doing to enable it.
Can someone walk me through the steps to pulldown the menu, select "connected as" and choose the correct option? (Screenshots of each step or X,Y coordinates in inches or millimeters).
Alternatively, I can mirror the display if I can enable screen sharing, but that might be more tricky.

Can someone please take screen captures of the steps to move from connected as MTP to internet?
Hi, my father dropped the phone between the car door and the screen has gone black but the phone still boots and turns on.
The problem I'm having is I cannot connect it to a PC to backup as USB Debugging was not enabled before and I cannot touch anything to accept a connection through any program shown in YouTube videos etc.
Is it possible to force-ably enable USB Debugging through my PC so that I can backup the data?
Please if anyone has any method I could try I would greatly appreciate it.

I have had a Moto G4 Plus since it came out and i got into a fight over the summer and the screen broke and NOTHING is displayed, BUT fingerprint sensor vibrates when i touch and i can control the volume so the device is working...just been sitting in a drawer...
I wanted to use Vysor or a similar app (suggestions?) to view my device on my laptop. Currently stuck with an S9+ and NO ROOT for anytime soon and im bored.
When i run adb devices, cmd comes back with the serial number UNAUTHORIZED. Apparently from what i read, because USB Debugging is ALWAYS ON ALL MY DEVICES, i need to **** off USB Debugging and flip it back on.
So does anyone know the DETAILED commands for Windows 10 to turn USB Debugging off and on or on and off, but im positive its on, just having the UNAUTHORIZED problem. Vysor sees the device and the serial but it says i have to turn on USB Debugging.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated...
Thanks in advance!
AFAIK there isn't a way on an unrooted, bootloader unlocked device.
Hello!
My friend dropped his A9 down on the floor and obviously killed the display. It stays black all the time, but the phone is up and running. It has no kind of locks (PIN, pattern, ...) on it. Also, the phone has no custom recovery. We want to save his photos which are saved at the internal storage of the device (he didn´t use a micro-SDCard). This is what I´ve tried so far:
Connecting the phone via USB with the PC. It´s detected correctly, but there is no file system visible, obviously USB-mode is not set to MTP
Contacting the phone via adb. But unfortunately, USB-Debugging was never enabled on the device
Connecting the phone via Samsung´s Smart Switch. But I think, initiating this connection needs a confirmation on the phone - which I cannot enter.
I´m thinking about connecting the phone to a monitor via a USB-C-to-HDMI-cable, but I don´t know if this works with this phone. But even it does, I will not be able to enter anything. I´m also thinking of connecting a mouse via USB-C-to-USB-cable. Also, don´t know if this works, but even if it does, I cannot see what I enter with the mouse.
Any ideas how to gain access to the internal storage?
Hello.
I've got my mother's Samsung A20. And i need to recover data, but the screen doesn't work.
When power button is pressed, display flashes the lock screen (wallpaper, current time and so on). And then it turns black (backlight stays on for 30 seconds, and then turns off). Pressing the button doesn't guarantee flashing the display, sometimes it goes black immediately. Touch screen gives no input as far as i know (can't hear anything when trying to type pin). Problem still occurs during and after reboots.
I managed to connect a mouse and keyboard with USB OTG, and i was able to unlock. But the phone has no MHL support, so i can't get any image through USB. I'd try pressing the power button repeatedly to get some image and inch my way through the interface, but the lockscreen interferes.
The USB port is set to Charging Only mode, so i can't copy files to my computer. USB Debugging is disabled, bootloader is locked.
Does anybody have a clue, how to get image? Some way to get data? Maybe some keyboard shortcuts, so i can disable lockscreen and make my way easier? And maybe disable 20 alarms in the morning?

I like to be helpful so I'll try to give you some suggestions but I hope others pitch in who know far more than I do.
I never use the USB cable anymore to operate my phone from my PC (but my screen isn't broken so your situation will be much harder).
I connect to my phone from Windows over Wi-Fi without USB all the time, and I can unlock my screen from the PC, and I can mount my entire Android device as a drive letter on Windows over Wi-Fi, etc., so "maybe" (just maybe though), you can consider using either a WebDav server on Android to access your files and/or adb to bring up and manipulate activities on Android....

However, I don't know if adb will work for you if you can't turn on USB debugging in the first place... but as of Android 12, adb now works completely over Wi-Fi (see screenshots below) without needing the USB cable to establish the initial connection like it used to be prior to Android 12.

If the screen problem is "just" hardware and not software, and if you can turn on Wireless Debugging, you might be able to display your phone over scrcpy or vysor (both of which use adb over Wi-Fi) as shown in the screenshots below on my phone - which never needs the USB cable connection.
Hope this helps, but you seem to need folks who know more than I do as adb/vysor/scrcpy all work for me because I can set up USB Debugging & Wireless Debugging as shown below.
Note that you might have an FTP server or a WebDav Server on your Android phone, and if you do, you might be able to at least transfer important files since they each can mount your entire Android phone as a drive letter on Windows over Wi-Fi (without needing the USB cable).

A20 can have only Android 9, 10 or 11, but thanks for ideas anyway.
I didn't even know adb can work over WiFi, I'll look into it. Hopefully this version can do it too.
Now trying blindly to turn on the screen reader…

Ooops. My bad. I apologize. You'll need the USB cable in Android 11 for a moment to establish the connection first. Then you can switch over to Wi-Fi after that (or you can stay on USB).

I feel for you. I really do. It hurts me when people can't access their phone remotely to get their data back. I am searching all over the XDA site for a solution for you, where I just moments ago opened this thread to help (I'm still searching for you though).
What is the best XDA solution to control Android on the PC & recover data over Wi-Fi when the user suddenly has an unresponsive broken screen?
