Enabling USB debugging on an Android device is typically a straightforward process performed via the device’s settings menu. However, when the device’s screen is damaged to the point of being inoperable, this standard method becomes unavailable. In such situations, alternative approaches are necessary to regain control of the device and access its data.
This ability is critical for data recovery, device management, and even flashing custom ROMs in certain circumstances. Historically, gaining access to a device with a malfunctioning screen required specialized hardware or advanced technical knowledge. The methods outlined below aim to provide solutions applicable to a broader range of users.
