Hello XDA's
Dropped my RealMe Narzo 50A in water and continued to use it thinking it's waterproof, it's not.
Screen went dark right in front of my eyes. Phone and touch are working, replaced the screen but no luck, I think that water fried the chipset.
I want to enabled USB debugging (never enabled it) to cast/mirror screen on laptop or enable MTP or enabled talk back to help me take full backup.
TIA!
Bump!

Sometimes, even when cracked, the digitizer still works. If the screen below is broken, you could use a MHL connector to mirror the screen on your TV. That way you can see your actions on the screen.
If the digitizer doesn't work but the screen below does, use a USB Host connector to connect a mouse. That way you can still control the phone.
hope it helps!!
Hi, my friend has an older LG G2 that took a hell of a beating... apparently he left it on the roof of his car this morning and because of the silicone edge of the case it didn't come off until he took a turn. He figured it out when his BT disconnected but by the time he recovered it it had been run over at least once and the screen is totally trashed. Only half the display works at all, and the part that does has lines through it, and it appears the digitizer has been mangled too, so it's utterly unresponsive to touch (using a stylus of course, because it's shedding glass shards like a dog shedding its winter coat).
He brought it to me in hopes that I could recover his stuff off it, but when I plug in the USB cable, it charges but I can't access the storage. Is there any way to force the phone into any USB transfer mode (I could make do with MTP, PTP, or Mass Storage) without having to poke something on the screen?
Hi everybody, I need all of your brains, because my brain stuck at this point.
Yesterday I got a phone (Samsung Galaxy A3 or model SM-A310F) from my neighbor with an damaged display. He told me the phone fell into water, but run after drying normal (I saw a video, isn't the phone water proof?) but then it fell to the ground and since the phone doesn't recognize any touch. I checked it and told him that I need to take a look inside because the glas is in a perfect state, I could see anything on it but, as I said, no functional touch. Hard-Keys are working fine.
The first thing what I does, was to restart the phone with "Vol- and Power". I thought the phone were now bricked, because the boot-up seems to be endless. After I let the phone work for approximately 5-10 minutes, the Samsung logo comes up and Android was there but again, with no touch.
So, as I said, I opened the phone, took a look inside and was very confused, because two wires were broken and some electrical parts near the display plug and the plug itself had a white covering, I think from the water damage before. Anyway, the phone is running but after I opened it, the screen got black and never come back. I cleaned up the parts and the plug and tried again, now when I press home or power, the screen is flickering on the left for a short time and is then black again.
At this point I said him that the phone is broken, because it is not clearly if the screen is broken and/or the mainboard, too (because of the white covering).
My neighbor asked me to recover the files and the contacts. I told him it is hard, but not impossible. My plan was to install a recovery, boot into and to adb pull all the files to my computer.
But: USB Debugging is DISABLED and the oem lock is on, too, so I failed trying to install twrp with odin. I just get a fail.
New for me: you can control your phone with your computer mouse and keyboard, so I thought, I can just accept the MTP request and simply drag and drop the files... but nope, the request just pops up, when I connect the phone to the computer. So I can't use my keyboard AND the connection to my pc...
Adb doesn't recognize the phone, because of the disabled usb debug (and even if I can figure it, I need to accept the debug dialog while connecting).
So, this is your part, anybody, any Idea to install something or just to recover the files?
My ideas:
Mirroring APK (to mirror the screen to my PC, explored that with MyPhoneExplorer)
Custom Recovery for stock recovery flashing (flashable zip)
Downgrading (but will definitly stuck in a bootloop, because I can't delete the data)
...
What do you suggest?
Buying a new screen isn't an option. I don't know anybody who can "borrow" me his screen.
I'm really a android geek, not someone as you are, but more than "normal users", so if it difficult, it is not a problem.
I also accept some tips with the screen part. I attached the picture, which I tooked for him. There you can see the white covering AFTER cleaning (it is almost there at some spots... I don't want to break more).
Thank you alot!

Sorry! I posted it in the wrong sub =( Can anyone please move it?
Ah I would like to update this thread:
I bought a new display, had some problems anyway but now I got a new phone =)
Hi! My phone fell off recently and the screen suddenly turned black with some dead pixels coming when tapping the unlock button or the fingerprint. So the phone is working but alas the screen is not functional. I´m going to send it over to google since I have warranty over it, but I´d like to know if there´s any way to backup any files I can from it (pictures mostly, audio, video...) before I mail it off and lose it forever.
When I plug the phone to the PC with USB cable I get the usb sound and the phone seems to charge, but I cannot select USB data transfer mode. Any idea of how could I take my files? Thank you all!
Bump, Same Problem here.
Without being able to manipulate Android system via the touchscreen, the answer is unfortunately no.
That being said, since it's a Pixel, your photos should be backed up to your Google Photos account.
If you have adb already enabled on your device these might help.

Hi everyone,
I have a Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G with a broken screen, and I need to enable USB Debugging to access and backup my data. Unfortunately, I can't see anything on the screen, making it impossible to navigate the interface.
I have tried using a USB OTG adapter and USB mouse, but since the screen is unresponsive, I cannot interact with the phone. I am unable to access the settings or enable USB Debugging through regular means.
I'm seeking advice on alternative methods or solutions to enable USB Debugging on my Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G without relying on the screen. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to proceed.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

you cant
Well, it's difficult, but not necessarily impossible.
Does screen mirroring over USB connector work?
Do you know if the touch screen still works?
Do you have an absolute position digitizer tablet?
Have you considered buying a screen? You wouldn't have to really install it, just hang it.
Can you flash a new boot image?
See: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/accessing-my-phone-with-a-dead-screen.4542763/
Then there is my own Swiper app, but that's complicated to use too.
As it was not on debug mode / developer mode, i can't take backup using cmd prompt/ adb mode. thinking to buy comptable LCD screen on ebay and fix it myself and take backup of phone. highstreet shops are asking £70, which is not worth for this phone.
Yes, but there is a difference between the cost of a replacement screen that you just wire off the back and an actual screen replacement.
