Hi,
So my screen broke yesterday and I needed to check my phone for missed important calls. I know there is lots of solutions out there, but I needed a way access your screen without the installation of any software on your phone. I was lucky because my digitizer still works so I can still use the touch feature. I figured i would post it, might save someone someday....
You need to have have developper options enabled so this can work. So first of all, I need to enable ADB from recovery. There is lots of post on the forum and google, so I will not cover this part.
Once I had ADB enabled, I wrote a small batch file that would take a screenshot from my phone, then pull it to my pc, wait 1 sec, then restart. After I used chrome and a auto-refresh extension to refresh the image every second. I will assume that you have ADB installed and all drivers for adb working. Here it goes
1. You will need to create a batch file. Open notepad and paste this into it.
Save it as ss.txt, or whatever you like. Then go to desktop and rename ss.bat or "whatever you like.bat"
This may vary a bit if you do not have an SDcard, or if your directory is not named the same way, So change SDcard to the name of your storage folder.
Copy it to your adb directory.
2. Open a Command Prompt as Admin change directories to ADB folder. Once you are there, just type ss and the batch should start.
3. Open chrome and install an auto-refresh extension. I used this one:
4.Then open your c:\ drive in chrome (type in the address bar file:///C: ). Navigate to your adb folder and open screen.png.
5. Start auto refresh on screen.png opened in chrome and set to 1 second.
Now you will have a screenshot of your phone being refreshed every second! I agree its slow, but its an easy way to get on your phone and configure other applications such as vnc or other stuff or just to get the phone number of that hot date you had last night.
Have Fun!
