If your phone get broken screen with USB debugging off, non-responding to any touch. Obviously USB debugging cannot be enabled. Just like the scenarios as below:

Does this actually work or is this a scam to buy something you don’t need?
I’ve tried the trial, sadly not all samsung phones are supported yet (Note 5) broken screen.
You can download the latest version of the program to have a try. We’ve upgraded to the program.
I have an S5 model sm-s902l (straight talk) but the specific device is not on the list, only the Tmobile alone with a few international models, would it be safe to use the TMobile option since the phones are identical just different networks
during step 6 my phone model is successful but the flash is not. why is this happening?
PLEASE I HAVE A SAMSUNG NOTE 5 AND ITS NOT IN YOUR LIST OF PHONES.
Samsung galaxy s7 not on list
Every time I plug my Android device in, it asks me to enable debugging. How can I do that with a broken screen? (Completely broken, can’t see anything but black). I thought Dr Phone Wondershare allowed me to select a
‘broken Android’ feature, however this isn’t available to me, program just opens to the debugging screen.
Dear Josh,
Once you’ve connected your Android phone to computer, launch the program and select Data Extraction (Damaged Device) among all the toolkits.
For me, it automatically goes to try to connect to the device and asks me to press ‘ok’. Broken screen, so no possible.
Have already tried these combinations:
1) open app (I do not see the options shown in the article above, just a screen that says ‘connect your device’) and then connect device -> does not work
2) connect device and then start program -> does not work
The images shown in this article have nothing to do with the program.
That’s the problem I’m having with a friend’s S8. I was given to understand that the uniqueness with this software is not having the USB debugging off. I also confirmed that USB debugging setting is default off. If you find out this software does work and is compatible with S8 I would be very appreciative.

I want to recover data from broken nokia 3. Not able to access internal memory
This Android data recovery currently can recover data from broken Samsung phones and tablets, such as the Galaxy S series, the Galaxy Note series, etc. I’m also looking forward to the new version upgrading so that your precious data could be retrieved from your broken Nokia 3.
this does not work on any phone without the usb debugging. it is a lie. there are a number of other programs who claim the same very specific thing and fail like this does. even the paid versions, of which i have gotten a couple refunds. i am wondering if there is a local place that will do data recovery for computers who could do this. or i try to get the screen replaced on my ancient galaxy.
I’m so sorry about that message. In fact the releaser of this Android data recovery claims that it currently support to recover data from only broken Samsung phone and tablets, such as the Galaxy S series, the Galaxy Note series, etc. Various situations are supported, like accidentally damaged the screen of your Android device, the screen becomes black and shows nothing on it, can’t get into the system for unknown reasons, unable to open the USB debug, forget the lock screen password, no response with the touch screen and more. If you need more help, please go to the dr.fone official website for more technical suggest.
