[Q] Digitizer is Dead, Need Alternate Input Methods - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my nook has just decided that the touch screen just isn't going to work anymore. Otherwise everything else is perfect, what can I do to control this thing now? I didnt have usb debugging set up before, bluetooth is turned off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CWM recovery, there's no touch there and adb is enabled as well. So you can do whatever from there.
Redited. See here to enable usb debugging via cwm and adb: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13326806/enable-usb-debugging-through-clockworkmod-with-adb
Make sure you do a full recovery backup first in the event you mess up and then find you need touch to do something.
There's some other possibilities such as getting your hands on a rom build update with usb debugging already enabled.
And then from there you should be able to force install an app to gain control of android remotely or for usb hosting.

Got OTG to work, needed to short some contacts on the motherboard to force it. Used the info from this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46186315&postcount=7 Its not pretty but its somewhat useful now, Droidmote costs but it works pretty well as a remote. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videomap.droidmoteserver

Can't connect to computer (running CM7)

When I plug in my Nook Color running CM7 to my computer, it just charges and doesn't go into USB mode. I don't even get a USB debugging notification, even though USB debugging is on. What can I do to fix this? Other then this one issue, I love CM7, but if I can't solve this, I may have to switch back since this is a pretty major problem for me. Thanks in advance for your help.
I installed CM7 last night. My usb is working correctly. I don't believe I changed any of the default settings.
yea, I don't know why it's happening with my NC. Would really appreciate a solution from anyone.
make sure u have the drivers

[Q] Touch functionality lost after minor accident

Hi guys,
I have an rather annoyning issue and I would like to have your advice...
In fact following a minor accident (fall from 50 cm on a wooden floor) the touch functionality was lost (the screen is fully normal but does not react to touching). :crying:
Just to be 100% sure I reflashed stock rom via Flashtool, but no fix... apparently it's a hardware issue.
So now either I must return it to Sony and ask for repair (and I suppose most probably they will ask me to pay) or try to open it using the service manual and check the connectors...
Do you think I have any chance with the second option? Has anybody of you already openened a xperia T? Is is feasible or I shouldn't try at all?
Thanks,
kosmepe
it can be opened, there are tutorial videos on you tube, just search for them.
However, before you do that try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39920703&postcount=11
I lost touch screen capability before and this process fixed it. However, this was a software issue and 99% certain yours is hardware, but before you open up the T try it, it cant hurt.

Thank you for the answer... but I don't think this is possible anymore. Since I reflashed stock rom, the usb debugging in OFF (by default) and so I cannot connect anymore via adb!

try connecting an external mouse using a USB OTG cable to enable USB Debugging again
I could use that even when the touch screen was not working. USB OTG cables are only a couple of quid and it may save you a lot of heartache...

Samsung g900a broken screen, USB debugging OFF, STOCK, how to retrieve pictures?

Good evening,
I am at my wits end.
I am using a Samsung S5 (AT&T)
This phone is STOCK
USB debugging is OFF
I do not have any RECOVERY on this phone
The screen is BROKEN and NON-FUNCTIONAL
I have a PIN ENABLED
I've been scouring the internet for about 8 hours with no solution.
I have tried an array of programs, unfortunately, most of them require USB debugging to be ON, which, to reiterate, mine is set to OFF, as in NO USB debugging, otherwise I would not be here asking for help.
I have searched the internet in search of a way to turn USB debugging ON via my PC, but the only feasible method (using Samsung Find My Mobile) was futile as I do NOT have an account with SAMSUNG.
I wish to retrieve very important pictures and documents from my phone,
again,
to reiterate,
NON FUNCTIONING SCREEN, USB DEBUG IS OFF, PHONE IS STOCK, NO RECOVERY, NO SAMSUNG ACCOUNT AND IS PIN PROTECTED.
Is there any other way I can retrieve my files?
The only other method that may work is using a mini HDMI (will be purchasing soon) so I can display my phone onto another screen, and hopefully unlock the pin with a keyboard.
Please, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Thank you very very much in advance.

Oh jeez... looks like you've really got yourself in a pickle here.
Unfortunately there isn't another way to retrieve your photos without a functioning screen (you can buy a new LCD assembly for about $150 on iFixit but you'd have to install it). The HDMI tactic should work, but otherwise you're pretty screwed D:
Let this be a lesson to others to ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR STUFF. That or use an external SD when you can :3
Sorry I couldn't be of much more help than that.

I appreciate your response, and I hope you can help me get out of this salty pickle
I may have to go the route of replacing the lcd assembly if finances allow (broke as a joke, right now)
So, I finally tracked down an MHL cable, and this is where I am stuck. I am able to output the screen onto my tv, however, I cannot interact with it when I plug a USB mouse or keyboard into the TV (the TV does not state incompatibility, however it said 'device unsupported' when I plugged in a ps3 controller [for poops and giggles, and with a little hope it would work] so that tells me the keyboard and mouse should work.
This is such a tease seeing my phones display, without being able to do anything. Oh my gosh.
I feel like I'm doing something wrong, and possibly a very obvious error I'm overlooking.
Thank you.
Regards,

Cannot get watch to connect to pc

I have installed all drivers i could fine. Whenever i plug the watch into my pc it doesn't even make the chime sound, nor does the device show up in device manager.
Can someone please help me, i just got my watch two days ago and would like to enable more cores because mines quite laggy on android wear 2.0.
If you have enabeld USB Debugging ?
This you can do in the Developers Options.
If you dont see Developers Options under SETTINGs then you must first enable the Developer Options...
To do this ...
Go to SETTINGS there in Devices Info and then TAP 7 times at Buildnumber... after this go back to Settings and you see the Developers Options and there you can enable USB Debugging
Sorry for my bad english...
i have already done that also. ive tried about everything i can fine. the dock charges the watch just fine, i have also tried different usb cords. is there any way to adb over wifi?

Hey did you found any solution?
I am on the same boat, the watch can charge and works (laggy) fine, but I am unable to let it be recognize in any way.
I tried same USB cord with several phones and it's ok, but the watch cannot be in any way recognized...
Someone please help us out lmao, the watch is so damn laggy and battery is awful.
I managed to do adb over wifi on the watch, but obivously this do not help with unlocking bootloader or anything in fastboot mode..

Did you all download and try the latest adb? I was having this same issue and turned out that once I updated the adb from the Android sdk, everything worked perfectly.
Uhm, I'll try thank you!
I downloaded all the driver I could get, even from official android.com site, but still the issue is same:
When I plug USB cable in the PC, I get no chime sound or request of anything: tried putting the watch on cradle in standard running mode, in fastboot mode, or in recovery or even powered off.
Same result: no reaction from PC at all.
Tried connecting various phones with same cable as the watch cradle usb cable, everytime the driver kick-in and phone is detected and system either use Google USB driver or ask for drivers.
I read somewhere on the internet that if phone is not connected with Wear app the smartwatch is not connected? But how to do that if the watch is in fastboot mode for unlocking?
Btw I also found that the system update was to version NXG47C and now the fastboot menù is indicating that bootloader is version LENOK22b (secure boot is enabled in green and lock state is locked).
I am lost, even the SDK Android drivers did not change a thing, but more than anything else I do not get why PC do nothing (not even chime sound) when plugging in, my cradle is original and all things come from its box from 2014..I never tried before connection so I do not know if that was working before, but I am starting to think I need a new cradle maybe...

I have 2 cradles (that -same thing as you- work with anything else instantly) and since the NXG47C/LENOK22b combo simply do not work, so it seems it isn't a cradle problem. :crying:
Did you find anything else, codymamak?

Sadly, no.
I was just looking to cradle options but what you are reporting here now makes me believing that really, it's something else...but probably only LG knows why they did that...Only reason I can think of, is to make us users purchase newer models locking out features that make it still good with AW 2.0
It's really a pity.
My only other idea is to try with a different OS, as atm I got only Win 10 64bit Creator Update , but I could use a old HDD and try with a Win 7 32bit...but it's a LOOOOOOOOONG shot as from my experience at least the chime sound should be there...:crying:
Oh! Different OS - I forgot to mention it before, sorry: I tried on Windows 10 and MacOS.
Again, both work fine with other Android USB-debugging-active devices.
Sorry for adding more bad news to an already bad story.. :/
I would have guessed this, sadly.
Well, this means something needs to be found to reactivate the fastboot connection from the devs...meanwhile, I found that the old dev options to lower the scale of the animations improves a bit the slugginess of the watch...
Let's hope someone notices this thread and find a way to help us out, as I'm 100% no-dev...

Exactly same thing about me. USB plugged in and nothing happen, I tried win 10 OS and win7 - same problem - I also thought it is cradle problem, I almost bought a new one but after you wrote I dont't think I could help look we are stucked with AW2.0 and only thing is hope someone will find solution for this...
I am still stuck on this situation, no way to make watch try the USB connection.
Could it be possible that the latest update disabled the USB ADB?
Can someone confirm if the USB ADB files are still in the package?
And if not, is it possible to add them back using for example ADB over wifi, through maybe the original recovery if not possible with system running?

It is really anointing when some other users write about downgrade without problems. I'm thinking how is it possible, so everyone got the same version of AW2.0, it is really weird
I have 2.0 on gwr and my win 8 recognised them. I just installed adb usb drivers in same way as I did for Huatch: as Motorola android sooner composite adb interface.
Where do I find these famous motorola android sooner drivers for w7 x64?

Probably installed with drivers for motorola phone. The thing is I did not install this exact adb driver on purpose. I found it as I was trying out anything to make the watch connect to PC. It was a pure luck.
same thing happen to me!
I thought it was the cradle, I have 3 cradles, though all is not original, all fail. so I though the cradle only can charge. But I vaguely remember I once using it to flash, but my memory is not so reliable, so it can be the original or the 'not original'.
I can connect ADB using the bluetooth debug mode and go to fastboot, but even in fastboot mode, my pc still cannot detect the watch.

Fully "slave" headless S10 to computer or other device

Hey guys,
I have a Samsung S10 with a fully bricked screen, but everything else works - even the below-screen fingerprint reader. The phone can be used via Samsung Dex for everything except for the so-called "protected" apps that only work on the phone.
Instead of forking out 300 dollars to have the screen replaced and end up with a subpar device anyway, I would like to use this thing for something. If I could get full control of the device via a laptop or a different device, I could for example use it as a web-connected camera or something.
Anyone got any tips for what I could do to achieve this? I have already enabled developer mode and USB debugging, but not sure where to go from here.
Hi, i also have a galaxy s10 with a broken screen, after enabling usb debugging you can use in windows a program called "scrcpy" to mirror you phone screen to the pc (you can also control you phone with the mouse and keyboard in windows).
With that you can do pretty much everything.
