Control phone with broken screen, need a rom with usb debugging enabled by default? - Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)

Hi,
I just managed to factory reset my N910F with complete broken screen with kies.
Now I'd like to control it with my computer but to do so, I need usb debugging enabled, however since the phone is on a stock rom, it comes disabled by default and I can't enable it since both digitizer and amoled screen are broken.
This post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53531429&postcount=17 suggests contacting "a kernel developer to automatically enable it in the default.prop and sideload the kernel in recovery".
Moreover I'm new to the Samsung World (never flashed a rom with Odin) but I have a LG G2 and flashed tons of roms before.
Current installed rom version:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What can I do? Please help! Thanks in advance.

Do you have stock rom file with you? If not download from sammobile. Open with winzip or rar and pull boot.img and send me. Btw its midnight here so earliest i can help you in late morning
PS :
1.I didnt get once you format device and what is exact use of controlling device with broken screen.
2.Also this method will trip knox
3.you have selected wrong section to open thread.

1- I don't want to pay 180€ to get the screen fixed and find out there are certain things that don't work on this phone. I exchanged an HP Prime for this Note4 so I don't know what the real status of the phone is. Receiving calls works, s-pen too though.
2- I don't think it has a warranty lol
3-Sorry, I would change it if I could.
And...I don't know which rom version I should download. The sticker on the back says UK but I live in Spain.
I tried activating USB debugging myself by following certain YouTube videos but I can't. I don't really know if Im past the setup wizard or I'm still stuck there.

If boot.img will be from different version then device may not boot.

Can you still see anything on the screen? Try to use an OTG cable with a usb mouse. Maybe you can use the mouse to browse your phone. I remember doing this with my Xperia S with broken screen to copy pictures and movies to my pc.

I understand. What do I do? I don't know what the exact version is. Do you want the serial number on the back?

The screen's broken, can't see or touch anything. But the s-pen works that's how I managed to get past through the setup wizard (I THINK I DID).
If I had a video where someone showed how to get past through the setup wizard and then activated usb debugging all by using the s-pen, I could try ;D

A bit late, but the Note 4 has MHL, so you could connect it to your TV through HDMI.

[Q] S2 USB not working

Hi!
I have a problem with my S2.
So, yesterday, I tried to tether through USB and I saw it was't working and I said I'd change the ROM and it will work. I changed 3 ROMs and realised that USB wasn't working (neither in ROM or recovery) An hour ago, I tried connecting it to Odin and after 5 minutes, I succeded in Odin recognising it and I started flashing official software, but phone randomly disconnected. Now, if I try to connect it, I can't and the phone does not boot and does not enter recovery. What can I do?
PS: Sorry for bad english.
PS2: Tried connecting phone to 3 Windows 7 PCs and a Mac and it wasn't recognised at all.
worn out?
I'm not sure but I think the contact/connecter is worn out... I have a similar problem with random disconnects mainly when charging the phone but also sometimes with usb-pc connections. Changing to newer cables helps a bit but not entirely...
If it is not rom related I don't know what you can do more then trying another usb cable or buying a new phone. I guess that's not an option?
You also said your phone does not boot and you can't enter recovery... But what about "download mode"? As long as you can enter download mode you can fix the software in your phone but to do that you need the usb to be working correctly with no disconnects or else odin will mess up every time!
Replace USB board. Has been discussed here many times over the past month or so; search for those threads.
The USB port seems to be the weak point of the S2. It is seemingly the most replaced part for this phone.....I have had to do it myself, and have helped others in a similar situation. If you search my topics, you'll find one called 'video tutorial' which shows a step by step process for 'tearing down' an S2. This will help if you decide to replace the board yourself. Online shopping sites are a good place to source the part you need. But be advised, there are THREE different versions of this part (REV2.2, REV2.3 and REV2.4) see the photo below to find out where to look for the version number....
Make sure you get the same version as you remove, as a mismatch at this point is likely to cause other problems. ....

Finally....do not attempt to recover your phone until you have replaced this part.......the chances are that you will make things worse.....to the extent that your phone *may* become unrecoverable......

but as the touch screen doesnt work i cant go no forward
no as i say i bought it like this so i knew the risk but is there anyway to fix it?
ive downloaded ADT but im hesitant to use it as i may totally bugger it if it not already buggered.

Likewise so just guess .
perhaps i should have tried booting into download mode before downloading a ROM and reading up on ODIN as i cant boot into download mode, it just boot as usual to the 2nd pic above

Thats the startup screen on a new install .
Guess would be the touch screen or digitizer .
it was a risk i took, u win some u lose some.
OK, a bit of success, i wasn't able to enter download mode from power off but managed to get into it from power on holding the same keys, problem now is i cant get ODIN to see my device, i have the latest drivers too.
ok, managed to get it connected and flashed but it appears to be in aboot loop, will head to the Odin thread for advice.
many thanks

Stuck in recovery with Live Demo Unit, please help!

Hey guys,
So recently I got a SM-G928X Live Demo Unit. I just read that flashing G928F firmware is completely fine and so I did aaaaand well, I am stuck in recover. Forgot to flash a custom recovery, also the phone has Factory Reset Protection so I am here with:
Android Recovery
MMB29K.G928FXXU2BPB6
samsung/zenbltexx/zenlte
6.0.1/MMB29K/G928FXXU2BPB6
user/release-keys
volume up/down and power
____________________
then goes normal recovery options
and at the bottom of the screen, there's
Supported API: 3
dm-verity verification failed...
Need to check DRK first...
Anyway I can't get to download mode, cant wipe data, cant flash from ADB/SD Card. When connected to PC no software recognises the device so yeah, that's a great situation to be in, right?
So if any of you have any idea how to make this thingy work again, I'm up for anything.
Aand I'm in the wrong forum right.. Sorry for that
Thanks

Well one thing might still work. You could try and make yourself a download mode dongle. Just google Samsung download mode dongle and try to make one. IIRC all you need is a microUSB plug for the phone and a resistor with a certain resitance (can't recalm the value). Then plug in the microUSB plug and just hold the resistor between two ends of the plug. This should force your phone into download mode and you should be able to flash it again. Good luck!
Edit: found a picture showing you what you need to connect

You can also find Samsung download mode jig dongles pretty cheap on the web. But going to a hardware store and getting a USB connector and a resistor just was the faster way to do it for me.

Help repairing dead S905X (M96X) 1gb/8gb

EDIT - Typo in Description the box is 2gb/8gb
For some reason my brand new M96X box has decided to die on me all i'm getting is the red light. I've been trying to use "USB Burning Tool" but it keeps failing, I'm not even sure if i have the correct firmware for it.
The only way I can update it is by using the tool, There is NO reset button so i can't even get into recovery mode to install from the SD
The Error I'm getting from the USB Tool are in the log file attached
Any help with this would be much appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
My M96X mini seems to have the same board and there is a reset button on the other side of it. It would be strange if yours had not.
By the way: what firmware did you try to burn?
@russellhearn69 sorry for your troubles. how did it die? did you come home and it wasnt working or did you brick it trying to change the software? what error are you getting with usb burn tool?

I bricked it with the USB tool. Wrote over the boot loader too. So I suppose the hardware is functional.

My S2 won't turn on

First of all, sorry but my English is pretty bad.
I have a S2 that I want to use it just occasionally (as businesses phone). It charged perfectly but sometimes it shows this 'error'

Do a Google search for:
"USB jig for Samsung"
Or a search for:
"300k resistor method Samsung"
You'll find information for a couple of different tricks to force-boot your device into download mode and then you can flash your stock firmware using Odin.
If it is at all possible for you to revive the device, this should do it.
If it doesn't, then it can only be repaired by:
1) replacing the motherboard
2) a JTAG service(or buy the expensive JTAG hardware for yourself and learn how to use it). The service is probably still around $50 but I'm not sure.
3) Pay for an Octo box or a Riff box service(or similar hardware interface equipment)
Or buy the Octo box/ Riff box or other interface for yourself and learn to use it.
There is also, possibly, a trick that involves a somewhat complicated method of booting a stock debrick.img that has been burned onto an external sdcard that has been formatted as a "bootable" drive and then using the booted OS to repair the partitions on the device, then after everything is restored and booting properly without the external sdcard, you return the external sdcard to normal format as storage instead of as a bootable drive. You can probably find a copy of debrick.img(sometimes labeled as debrick.bin) for S2 or maybe you can get someone else here with a S2 to pull a debrick.img(.bin) from their device using terminal emulator or adb shell. If your device does not at least vibrate or light up the capacitive hardkeys when you try to power on the device, this method of booting from external sdcard will not work on your device but a JTAG service will probably do the job, however, there is no guarantee that the service will work.
Also, I can't see what the second photo that you posted is. Can you repost it correctly so that I can view it?
