This method will save you. Show your phone screen on computer when it is damaged, broken, or broken and recover your files from it
USB debugging is one of those options that most Android mobile users do not notice, but it is very important in times of crisis. Many people think that it is only useful for developers and the truth is that it is a necessary option to recover data from a damaged or broken mobile phone. If you don't activate it and can't control your phone due to screen damage, it will cost you much more to restore.
If you realize that only now that your mobile screen has stopped working and you need to activate USB debugging to be able to control it from a computer, then surely you came here looking for a way to activate the USB debugging option on an Android device from a computer. And so that you don't waste any more of your time, let me inform you once and for all that this is not possible. I will explain the reason right away and the solution.
- Why can't I activate USB debugging from PC?
Now, after clarifying that it is not possible to enable USB debugging from a computer, we have good news for you. It is not necessary to activate debugging to control your mobile from your computer. Below, we explain how this is possible.
- How to control your Android device from PC without activating USB debugging
If the screen of your Android phone or tablet is not working and USB debugging is disabled, you can still control it from your computer by following these steps:
- Download Scrcpy on your computer: go to its GitHub page using the link above and in the "Assets" section click on the installation file compatible with your computer.
- Connect your mobile phone to the computer using a USB cable.
- Open the Scrcpy folder and double-click the open_a_terminal_here.bat file.
- Enter the command "scrcpy –otg" (without the quotation marks) and press Enter.
- Now, open the scrcpy.exe and your phone will appear on the screen if all goes well.
- You can control it with your mouse, keyboard and even activate USB debugging from there.
I tested this method with theGalaxy S21 and it worked perfectly for me. However, with the Galaxy S23, I didn't have the same luck, because the computer simply wasn't able to establish a connection to the mobile phone for some reason. Perhaps this is one of the limitations of new versions of Android. Video
