Hello,
My friend gave me a phone, to recover photos from it. It has broken screen and I can see only 3/4 of the screen, but the problem is, that it has ghost touches, so I can't even unlock it. The phone has locked bootloader, disabled USB debugging and no root. I can only disassembly it. My idea was to connect monitor or TV through hdmi adapter and disable touch screen from phone, but I don't have the adapter. Do you have any ideas to recover photos from it?

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 All
The GF's z3c recently took a bath in a sink full of washing up liquid, and as it was suffering from the common screen lift issue we suspect that was where water got in.
It was sent off to imend and they cleaned up the corrosion and dried it out, however they found (via replacing the screen) that the water had damaged the display chip on the motherboard and they couldn't risk replacing it.
I've purchased a MHL to hdmi adaptor off ebay (here) and can get the phone screen to display on the TV however the touch screen is erratic and unresponsive. As I cant unlock it I cant mount it as a drive or get at it via ADB (fastboot works but I cant do much with that & it is rooted on the stock 6.x rom).
My next thought was to connect up a USB mouse as I cant pair a bluetooth one and use that but in reading up on it, it would appear that the usb port can be used for MHL or USB OTG not both simultaneously. Has anyone successfully connected a usb device and MHL display on this phone & if so how? My thought is a micro usb hub, mhl adaptor in one side, mouse in the other. Something like this this
Failing that is there any way to get into ADB or pull a backup with only fastboot access?
Thanks
I got from eBay a cheap replacement screen (about USD 80). After installing it the resolution was very, VERY low. I went into display settings, and changed it, but this bricked the phone. It boots, but after the splash comes no picture. Only sounds and vibrations, so THE REST OF THE PHONE WORKS. I'm not able to boot it even in recovery/download mode with picture. Splash is the only visible pic.
I didn't find a way to reset the phone via Odin without flashing (can't flash At&T).
I cant flash it via Samsung Smart switch, because it asks me to activate USB transfer. Can't.
Any suggestions for resetting it, or lowering the resolution?
If the phone actually works but it's just the display causing it to not display anything, then maybe you can buy an adapter to HDMI and connect an external display to the phone. That way you might get an output.
same issue
any luck with the solution?

Nope. I wasn't able to play HDMI video without usb settings from the 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.
