How To Turn On USB Debugging With A Broken/Black Screen | O. Henry

    People keep commenting about how they can’t find the Connect application on their computer so they can’t follow the instructions in this video. That is not true. If you don’t have Connect, just take more screenshots. Instead of using the screenshots to turn on screen mirrorring, use the screenshots to navigate through your phone’s settings and turn on USB Debugging.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Over the weekend I was trying to figure out how to display an android phone screen onto my computer and control it from there. Every answer I saw, required you to turn on USB debugging. But how are you supposed to turn on USB debugging if you can't see your screen? In this week's video I show you how to "see" your screen so that you can turn on USB debugging and begin to control your phone through your computer.
    I know this is not the typical content I make, but I was having this problem, and I'm sure other people will too. I just want to help people with the problem, considering I've found an answer. :)

    • @OliviaHenry
      @OliviaHenry  5 лет назад +5

      @PixiRed - You don't need to turn on USB debugging to find your screenshots. You just need to find your screenshots folder. In the video I showed you how to find the screenshots folder for the phone I was using, it might be slightly different for your phone.
      Basically, just plug in your phone and find it in My Computer then click through the folders until you find one labelled "Screenshots".

    Thank you! This was a clever solution to the problem of a screen dying on a phone without USB Debugging enabled, I hadn't thought of this and likely wouldn't have without your video. With USB debugging enabled I was able to use Vysor to mirror the screen onto my desktop PC and will now be able to transfer everything over when my new phone arrives :)

    Most helpful video I have ever seen/used on RUclips. I cannot tell you how glad I am that you made this. The screen mirroring was only working for a minute or two at a time for me so I just used the screenshot method. Got all my stuff off of my S8 Plus that had a broken screen but could use my fingertip to navigate my way through. You have no idea, thank you so so much.

    • @nalbertgerber9930

      You can do 1 of 2 things; you can buy the splitter cable I talked about at the end of the video (second link in the description), or check out the part 2 I made to this video: ruclips.net/video/YF-XNHMZlFU/видео.html
      Part 2 doesn’t require screenshots so you won’t have to give your phone permission to transfer data to your computer. However, if you do want to be able to transfer your files, I do show you how to do that at the end of part 2.

      Not quite. I have USB debugging disabled *and* haven't set it to use USB mass storage automatically when you plug it in. Oh, and it's an older pixel device so no HDMI output. And I haven't got a TalkBack shortcut enabled. I think that's all the workarounds out. Frankly it blows my mind that Google have not fixed this. Do they think their phones are invincible?

      @Jake Thejeweller well, some stuff in it matter to me, like I have many memorable photos and videos, from family, to music, to friends and jokes etc, and I have many movies and clips that I converted to 60 fps, so they are pretty important to me honestly, and I don't know if I can retrieve them in anyway in this sitution. I have a samsung galaxy A70 broken, unresponsive, black screen, and when I connect to pc with usb, it shows only "samsung A70" but actually being empty, even though my phone is unlocked. Sorry for the long message, but I feel bad about myself, a stupid fall from just about a feet or half disabled my phone. Such thin phones can't be trusted

    Thanks a heap for the video, i didn't think to try the stylus, you rock!
    i used this screenshot method and and got it to screen mirroring on the TV and then went from there to do what i needed to get a backup file with samsung smart switch.
    the hardest part was trying to type the pin in and allowing file transfer when it prompted, took quite awhile and patience but smooth sailing after i was into it.

    INCREDIBLY helpful: thank you. My Galaxy S10+ got a killer impact a work, and I have insurance, so when I got my duplicate phone, I could do the same moves to see the approx. place where the areas were, plus my screen was dimly visible thru the extreme bright screen. TIP: on the lock screen, look up a photo of your model; feeling from the bottom, I could 'find' the lowest button on the right by when it vibrated by touch (OK) button. then I mapped the next button (9) above it and for each I used a dry erase marker on the screen to label the grid; Then it was easy to do my PIN and OK to unlock the phone, a MAJOR help. Hope it helps.

    Touch input is in settings - input devices. There is somewhere there that you can enable the connect app as an input device. You have to do this for Visor, Skype, etc also. The only three methods to control an android screen, ttbomk, is 1) Physically connecting a device, 2) allowing a app input device control, or 3) enable usb debugging (and authorize on the phone)

      @PeePoo Entertainment System - Sorry for taking so long to reply to your comment, but it wasn't until recently that I came up with another potential solution to this problem. The reason your phone's folder is empty is because your phone is either locked or doesn't have file transfer enabled.

After connecting to my PC with USB, I did not have the "Phone" folder inside the Galaxy S10 E drive under My Computer. This was due to not being able to see the "Allow" button on my phone. I used working Android to learn where the "Allow" button would appear on my broken device. Once I knew where it would appear, I was able to press "Allow" and the "Phone" folder showed up and I was able to access the screenshots.

Everything else always says "just click permissions on phone," not realizing that...well, I couldn't see anything lol. I ended up connecting my phone to the TV so that I could see enough to download a mobile connect program and mirror my phone screen on my computer. From there, things became easier as I was able to connect my phone to my computer after downloading/signing into a program that allowed me to control things from my laptop. Then I was able to see and control everything from the same place.

    Hello Olivia, thank you for these tutorials but for me they did not work. I bought the OTG adapter and unlock my phone with it but the problem is that when I take a screenshot while connected to the connect application it does not appear (I tried with a working phone and I don't couldn't find the screenshots on my pc). In addition, I noticed that when I launched connect it did not display the same thing as you, there was this message written in addition to what was written on your screen: "Unable to display the content protected from this device". I checked that my phone is mhl and OTG compatible and it is. I hope you find a solution and thank you in advance.
