Hi,
I have a phone that work perfectly except the screen.
I would like to access the phone but all solution I found on internet need usb debbuging, but it's not on :/
My phone is a xperia z, with locked bootloader (and not unlockable since it's an operator version...).
I tried a lot of hours but can't arrive to get access to it, only thing I was able to do is to access fastboot mode or flashmode.
I seems to be able to flash tft file, so I was looking to a tft file with usb debbuging enable, but no luck :/
Someone can help me, or have a better idea maybe to solve my problem ?
Thank you very much in advance for the help guys !
PS : if it's not clear, my screen is broken but I would like to use it and control it using a remote app.

My Ativ S used to work great, but two days ago I accepted a Samsung update. Since then my phone was without sounds on speaker and not charging. To make it charge I had to turn it off and then connect the cable. Today I decided to do a hard reset (lost my here drive+ ) and now everything works well. Except my phone is not recognized when plugged on any pc (I tried 2 windows 7 and 1 windows 8). That way I can't downgrade or do anything else via cable. Can somebody help me?
Edit: It does however charge while connected to the computer
You could look into the WIndows Device manager if it is listed at all, anf if yes in what mode it is. If you want to downgrade you may be able to do it while being in the Bootloader or something similar (if there's a button combination, don't know about the ativ s.) I hope this helps!

Do you have SamWP8Tools? You should check if the FS Access is enabled. I had mine updated to developer GDR3 10521 version only, and when Full FS access is on it won't show up at all except in Device Manages as MTP something (and I've tried enabling the FC Router with the txt file and resetting it while USB connected numerous times, maybe I missed something, though I doubt it), when FS access is off I can see it in windows explorer and even access its C:\ via the changes I can still make to the registry (but I still can not see all the files then or delete some of the massive 9+GB of system files it has collected).

It wasn't shown in device manager. It didn't even reproduced the infamous windows sound when connecting a usb device. Tried in every single boot mode but it didn't help.

Actually I was trying to use SamWP8Tools for the first time, that's why it was so disappointing. I tried changing usb mode via diagnosis and nothing happened.
BUT, somehow it has recovered itself from the bug. It seems ok now when connected to my pc. Since I didn't do anything related to OS (just app updates), I'm being forced to think it was a hardware issue. Maybe there is some loose connections inside the phone. Thank you very much anyway! Hope it doesn't start bugging again.
Hello my digitizer failed me . now i have the phone and its more or less useless i need the phone asap.
I tried this program http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395
But then remembered that since its a new flash i have not enabled usb debugging yet.
Right now i can :
Boot into recovery (and navigate using the hardware buttons ) (i use PHILZ recovery)
Access sd card files
Flash zips
But when the phone boots its pretty much useless.
I now need to enable usb debugging so i can control my phone and set it up with QuickClick so i can use the earphones to control basic functions of the phone...
Thank you please answer fast ...

OK... That's difficult.
You can push files from SD to internal. The setting with USB debugging should be in a file. Maybe in build.prop?
Try to find out where this setting is, then you can get the file to the SD, change it on PC and put it back.

Easier?
Get a USB mouse. This could work, I don't know whether you have to accept something using touchscreen before you can use it or not.
Or just fix your digitizer...

Hi guys,
I just broke my phone's screen & digitizer, it's all black except for a few lines at the top of the screen, and I've used screenshots (viewed on windows) to verify touch is doomed as well.
I need to enable usb debugging to mirror the phone to windows, but I'm unfortunately not in any town area for a few days to buy and try a otg cable with mouse. I think there's a way to enable usb debug through abd, but I'm no expert on this, please help...
My phone's bootloader is unlocked, it's rooted, TWRP, can't remember exactly if it's on 4.4.2 or 4.4.4.
I know adb works with it, but I haven't use adb since 2 or 3 years back.
I can copy photos, videos, and audio recs through windows, but there are contacts and certain app data with my notes which I don't know how to retrieve / can't find through windows.
Can anyone help me out? Much appreciated if you could give step by step guide.
Thanks in advance....
adb needs usb debugging enabled, that's why its called Android Debugging Bridge.
Not much you can do, unless you van somehow navigate to developer options and tick the option + confirmation dialog.
Anyway, maybe someone else got a better idea
thanks liveroy, i'll try to get a otg cable later
Pretty much you can do if you have unlock bootloader, flashing twrp will give you adb by default.. Many more things you can do in fast boot

Salik, thanks for informing, but unfortunately, my phone's battery is out and it doesn't seem to charge anymore. So, I'm now just patiently waiting for my X Play to arrive, and give it more protection At least it comforts me when I can't get back my two years worth of notes :silly:

Hello.
So my Z1 touch screen no longer works because of a crack.
Xperia Companion detects the phone, but I can not do anything as it says the screen is locked and asks to unlock the screen to use companion. As the screen is broken, I can not do this!
Is there a way, with this broken screen, that I can get into the phones files and back up old texts, photos etc??
When I go into my PC's devices even there, it shows Xperia Z1 as a drive but it doesn't get into the memory from that for some reason (EDIT - I think because I can't use USB debugging mode because I can't use the phone screen to select that)
Thanks

The phone is not rooted

UB = Unlocked bootloader
LB = Locked bootloader
so you need your data back
no thing you can do but repair ur screen cause if you was have recovery you can use software to screen the recovery
and there is another way by flashing ftf without include data but this will remain your screenlock
sorry but you have to repair your screen to get your staff

CHANGING OR REPLACING SCREEN DON'T RESETS YOUR DEVICE.
YOU DON'T NEED AN BACKUP ACTUALLY BUT IF YOU ARE WISHING TO KEEP IT SAFE USE SONY COMPANIONFOLLOW THIS STEPS
IF THIS HELPED GIVE A THANKS.
Hi everybody. I want to know if there is a way to enable USB debugging through the PC on my Sony Xperia Z1s C6916. My phone is rooted with dual recovery but the touch screen is cracked and not responding. :crying:
Use otg cable and mouse.
Thanks. Your idea works marvelously. Thanks a lot
