[Tool][Windows] Control a device with a broken screen. Now with touchscreen support!!

[matzee1]

Can anybody help me please? I am able to connect to my Samsung Galaxy S7 and the phone is discovered in [email protected] However, under "State" I always get the "rejected" message. I have tried to re-connect to my phone several times without any luck. My LCD is damaged and not working (= black) so I can't respond to any pop-ups on my phone's screen. Any help is appreciated

Thanks for your input, guys. You're geniuses.

State: rejected

Well done and thank you for this great work.

I have successfully connected my note 4, it's listed in the [email protected] but I can't get to see my screen (state: rejected).

I can't get to check and allow the "allow connection to my computer" option on my phone as the screen is broken.

What can i do please?

Thank you for your assistance.

Thank you for your assistance.

Did you have USB debugging enabled before the screen broke? If not, this tool is not going to work for you and there is no way to enable that setting now that your device is broken.

Many people do not have USB debugging enabled because they don't know how vital that setting is if their device encounters issues. One of the first things I do when I get a new device is enable the USB debugging setting and then I leave it enabled as long as I own the device, so I can fix it if it has issues. I want to ensure that I don't get stuck in a position that I can't make a connection with PC, if it is needed in order to repair the device or retrieve data from it.

Buy a complete LCD+digitizer+glass combination and then replace the screen.

In fact I have USB debugging enabled and when I type the command "adb shell",
I get "error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device."

Which means that i should allow the connection from my phone which I can't as the screen is broken.

I know someone suggested to connect an OTG mouse and try to click on the "ok" option but this is a little hectic (tried many times).
Do you know a command that would bypass this authorization?

Try reading this and try the things they did to see if it works for you.

Using the mouse should work for you, with a little time, trial and error and patience.

That's awesome. I will try all the options until it works.

Thank you so much for the link. :fingers-crossed:

I would like to present you my little program written in Visual Basic.
This tool lets you use your device through your Windows pc even if your touchscreen doesn't work or you can't see anything.
It uses [email protected], which wasn't made by me.

UPDATE!!! Full touchscreen support!
You need to have usb debugging enabled.
Enable usb debugging via recovery:

Adb shell
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >>/system/build.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >>/system/build.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb" >>/system/build.prop"
reboot

Windows link is not working. can you please update it. this app really helpful

 

[Mohammed MLK]

Not working for me

Your tool is super useful, and it really works, Thank you!!! But it doesn't work for my phone Samsung Galaxy A30, it's screen was broken while the device was in the power off state, and in such case after you boot the phone you must use the password not the fingerprint sensor in order to unlock it, so i'm unable to connect it to my computer, in other words, because of the security/privacy policy it won't let the computer reaches it, it will only use the computer to charge the battery, and I don't want to root it or any other thing that violates the warranty, I just want to reach it and copy my files, please help me.
I have USB debugging enabled since the day I bought it, and I was connecting it to my computer at least 3 times a day.....
So I have no issues with the USB settings.

Of course, I'm able to go the shop and have it fixed but in the country I live in (Syria), this costs tons of money, and I literally don't have any money, our state is miserable and we can't afford to do that, even the center that provided the phone also asked us a lot of money, while the phone is in the warranty period..
Please please... help .

You might be able to use adb, connect the device to PC, open a adb terminal and try this command.

adb reboot

This has been known to work for powering devices on from the powered off state. It does not work on all devices but might work for you.

Hello, Could you tell me if I do something wrong?
The mirror screen does NOT appear on the pc.
I am testing with a working S7 with display.
1) Download the application
2) Run the Android Control.exe file
3) Unzip the tools folder
4) Connect the cell phone to the usb
5) I select the resolution, but no window appears on the pc with the mirror image of the cell phone.
When I use the ultimate touchscreen keyboard, the phone responds just like the gestures function. But I don't have the mirror image on the pc.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you
Alexander

Is USB debugging enabled in your phone's developer options settings?

Hi. If I have it activated. Already solved. I was missing installing JAVA.
It works very slow, but it works
Thank you

Hi @k.janku1
Thanks for the app, it's been so useful but I still have a big issue, I can't get it to show my phone's screen.
ADB is working, there's a connection and I can send commands through the app (like POWER, RESTART or unlocking using the keypad). When I launch the app there's a Windows pop-up asking what program I want to use for opening .JAR files. Do I need Java or anything else for this to fully work? You mention to some guy in this threat that his resolution wasn't supported, mine isn't so common either and unlisted in the options (1:2 or 9:18, 1080x2160 or 720x1440 depending on settings).

I remember using it in the past and had all kinds of apps in my computer but I got a new SSD and started from scratch with a clean Win10 and have nothing but the basics. Any help will be very much appreciated since my main phone dropped and now half of the screen is black (but fully responsive) and I won't order a new phone until Amazon Prime Day.
Thanks!

I finally managed to get the app installed and running.
As a test, I connected my working Samsung S7 edge and the screen mirroring works showing the image of the current screen on the phone itself.
However, the keyboard screen doesn't appear so I've no way of using a mouse to swipe or click on any of the screen icons. Have I missed something out?
Also I tried connecting a Chinese clone of the S7 Edge whose touch screen no longer responds. On the lock screen the following messages appear:
1. Connected as USB storage
2. USB debugging connected
However on loading the jar file (through an admin command window on my PC as it won't load otherwise) I get the following:
INFO AndroidDeviceManager - Device connected: 0123456789ABCDEF
DEBUG DroidAtScreenApplication - connected: 0123456789ABCDEF
DEBUG DeviceFrame:0123456789ABCDEF - DeviceFrame(device=0123456789ABCDEF (device))
ERROR AndroidDevice:0123456789ABCDEF - ADB command rejected: OFFLINE=true
ERROR AndroidDevice:0123456789ABCDEF - ADB command rejected: OFFLINE=false
the last line is repeated incessantly until I disconnect the phone.
The 'State' box on the main [email protected] window says rejected and again no keyboard screen is visible.
Does this mean the program only works with 'genuine' phones?
All help with these 2 problems welcomed

Yes, as part of it is written in Java, you need to have it installed on your system.
