[Q] Enter USB Debugging with broken screen

Some time ago I dropped and broke my Samsung Galaxy S, I've since gotten a replacement but there are still some files on the internal SD that I want to recover. I should be able to do this with ADB - but USB debugging doesn't seem to be enabled on device.
I thought entering recovery enables this - but I'm basing this on my cyanogenmod 10 install on my working device, whilst I should have stock 2.3.6 installed on the broken one (this rom specifically).
I believe I have the stock SGS recovery, but I can't say for sure.
Anyone have any clue on what I could do to get usb debugging working either in the OS or in recovery?

depending on what CWM you have installed you can go in mount and storage and there mount USB storage....then it connects the internal SDcard to your pc.
On my windows pc, sometimes the internal sd card mounts to pc only with connecting the phone to it. I am not sure anymore under what circumstances i got this working. Perhaps it was in download mode or in recovery mode....also could be that this was when i only short press the power button when phone is down but USB connected.....and if i remember right it depended also on which driver were installed and that sure kies is not running....but perhaps you give it a try?

USB mass storage not working after rooting+CWM (clock work mod) on Galaxy Note N7000

Hi Friends,
In order to root and install CWM, I flashed PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT4-OXA-4.93.6-signed . The installation was successful and the device got rooted. But now I am not able to connect my phone to desktop or laptop in USB mass storage mode. When I do the same, only charging starts but not the USB connection. Just before performing the flashing, USB mass storage was working perfectly fine.
In brief, I followed below steps
1) start the phone in recovery mode
2) select install zip from sdcard
3) select the clock work mod zip file and start flashing process
4) Go back to main menu and reboot the device
I repeated the above process one more time but still no luck. I am new to rooting and still in learning phase. Galaxy Note is running on Jelly Bean 4.1.2 XXLT4. Please help me out with this issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Nikhil Bhalwankar

Try to boot into recovery and choose mounts and storage. Then mount usb and connect to pc. Check if the drives are mounted.

[Q] Internal SD Card missing after unlocking bootloader

After having some problems with my Xperia T (random reboots, reboot loops, crashes) on stock Android 4.3 I decided to give it a go and try to install Omnirom 4.4
I tried to follow this procedure to install Omnirom
1. I unlocked the bootloader using Sony's guide
2. Got root through towelroot
3. I installed TWRP, which seems to be recommend for the Xperia T, TWRP installed BusyBox Free (no idea what this does, but TWRP recommended installing this.
This is as far as I got. The problem I have is that I don't have access to the internal SDcard (my phone does not have a removable sdcard) when connected via USB to my computer.
The internal SD Card does not appear as 'mass storage' in my windows explorer, nor does the phone give me the option to access the internal sdcard as a storage device.
Therefore I cannot copy the Omnirom zip and the GAPPS to the internal sdcard.
I'm stuck here. I tried searching the web, but got no solution.
Anybody who give me a little help here?

I think you can mount the SD-card from TWRP, then you can access it from your computer. Not a TWRP user myself, but that's how it works from CWM
Sent from my LT30p using XDA Free mobile app

Going into -> TWRP -> Settings -> Storage Info
I have 2 options:
- External storage location
- USB-OTG location
What is what? And where should they point to?
Currently they are set to:
- External storage location: /storaga/sdcard0/media
- USB-OTG location: /storage/sdcard0
I can see the contents of the 'sdcard' but have no idea what to mount where.....

Seems right.
USB OTG is when you plug in a usb stick to your phone. So pretty unimportant.
Why cant you download the Omni zip with your phone?

Pluging the usb cable in the phone and pc doesn't seem to do anything. Windows Explorer doesn't show the internal memory card as a storage device, so I cannot transfer the Omni.zip
Pluging the usb cable in the phone also doesn't charge my phone ...
Even PC Companion doesn't find my phone. It keep searching and searching but doesn't find it.

If you have ADB drivers installed (from the Flashtools folder, for instance), you can access your entire phone through ADB while in recovery. Mounting USB storage to transfer files between TWRP and my PC has never worked for me; it has worked on CWM though, although I haven't used that method in ages since I prefer ADB.

Ok, I didn't manage to get ADB working on Win8, but got it running on Elementary OS
Let's investigate how to transfer files via ADB....

Ok, I managed to get the omni rom .zip and gapps.zip to the sdcard using the adb push command.
I tried to install this via TWRP and select the zip file. Unfortunately when selecting 'reboot to recovery' in TWRP nothing seems to happen. The phone reboots, Sony and Xperia logo appear and the phone just starts as normal....
I can't get the phone into recovery. I tried to push the volume up, volume down, holding the volume up/down, push repeatingly .... etc nothing seems to work...

Some more info
- I verified that I'm root
- I reinstalled TWRP
- I downloaded and installed the recovery image in TWRP (for the xperia t this is 'mint')
- I tried other recovery tools such as Clockworkmod, but my device is no supported
- I tried 'Quickboot tool' to get into recovery, doesn't make any difference....
What am I missing?

I forgot to thank everybody who helped me out on this.
I managed to get access to the sd card, push customs roms (CM10 an CM11) and flash my phone. Unfortunately nothing helped fixing my Xperia T reboot problem. I flashed it back to the original Sony rom and returned it to the shop, up to 3 weeks without phone....

No OS and TWRP doesn't recognize USB OTG (shows 0 mb)

I was attempting to install a zip afresh and wiped everything off the device(no OS). I am only left out with TWRP and it won't recognize the OTG (shows 0 mb).
Windows doesn't recognize device to try via Nexus Root Toolkit(so adb devices, fastboot devices is not helping). Is this the end of my Nexus 6 ?

Hang in there there's very smart people here. I have high hopes for your case.

Could someone be of some help here ?

Try cleaning the USB socket on the phone.
Try another USB cable.
Does the phone show up in Windows' device manager? It should be there when running TWRP.
Edit: how is your OTG drive formatted? Best is probably old-fashioned FAT. I don't know which other formats TWRP supports, but exFAT is often a problem.

Modding without MicroSD

Hi, i've just bought this phone and i'm waiting for it to be shipped to me. It is my first phone that comes without a MicroSD which i heavely used for modding to store APK, Rom zips, etc. This way i was able to totally clean the device formatting cache, dalvik, vendor, data, etc. each time i had to swap from a ROM to another, and to clean the device from time to time to keep it as smooth as possible. This will not be possible with my new Mi 9T Pro, but i was thinking if i could use a USB-C Flash Drive to store what i used to store on my MicroSD, will TWRP Recovery be able to read the Flash Drive and use it to Flash the ROMs on the device?

Twrp support install from usb otg, and u can even transfer file from pc to phone in twrp mode nowadays, using mtp mode.
No worry even u need to format internal memory, in twrp just connect to pc and transfer the file again.

You can just connect to pc as mentioned earlier. It's not a problem

Or you can use a USB OTG adapter with a USB drive or USB sdcard reader

It's definitely not a problem more like an annoyance, got used to mod freely without having to worry about files saved on my device because of an SDCard on my poco but now you have to think more deeply when flashing new roms because of the lack of external storage
