Basically, my Redmi note 8 pro screen broke and I can neither touch nor see anything on the screen I can't authorize it to connect to MTP because it defaults to charging, ADB only shows up in recovery, and fastboot the phone is connected to the internet via mobile data. My objective is to get vysor to recognize the device so I can mirror the screen I have Pixel Experience 13 any help would be awesome the device is still connected and accessible by google because i can ring it in find my devices
Maybe turning talkback on would help but it doesn't wanna turn on

I can't authorize USB Debugging without unplugging from the computer and then plugging in the mouse to press Yes

And double clicking on the scrcpy executable flash a terminal window really quickly then exits
I fixed my Nokia 8 Sirocco display today but the thing is my phone was already authorised to access ADB before,
so I have no problem in accessing it on my computer through SCRPY.

OMG: Take note that Fastboot deals with device's bootloader, whereas Recovery deals with device's Android OS.

Because phone has an SD-card slot ( ready for microSDXC cards - uses shared SIM slot ) then if the SD-card gets mounted by default at boot time then you can try to copy the Android data in question onto microSDXC card using Android's dd command.

FYI: Before copying the data make sure the partition where the data are housed gets decrypted.

The recovery is TWRP
I'm aware that you might have thought about this but just out of curiosity.

I contacted a trusted local spare parts vendor in my area and he said that the display costs around ₹950.00 only in India which comes to $11.51 USD.

I can access the data already in TWRP i just cant extract it because its encrypted and TWRP doesn't support PE encryption AFAIK

PE = Pixel Experience FBEv2 encryption. one can enable usb-debugging and authorize RSA from init script, no need to decrypt userdata in TWRP. we can place init scripts in system/etc/init or vendor/etc/init or if rooted with Magisk in boot.img overlay.d
