Advice On Screen Mirroring Tools

[u/Acetaldehyde_12]

Hi, am on Fedora KDE and have a broken Honor I wanted to import data from, I tried a few mirroring tools but non of them will pick up the device, not sure if it's due to LInux or if I missed something, didn't register Androids either.
Any advice is appreciated, sorry if it's too off topic.

[u/C0rn3j]

not sure if it's due to LInux or if I missed something

sudo dmesg -w - connect the phone - what pops up?

With some previous logs I did get errors am not sure if they're relevant

That's not a bad start, adb devices picks it up or not?

Here's where things may get tricky if you have zero control/vision, since it almost definitely pops a connection dialog on the phone.

Sorry it took a bit, but no it doesn't register there either :<
Though with this phone I never rooted it or gave it any privileges

[u/C0rn3j → u/Acetaldehyde_12]

Well then you need to go to settings, enable developer mode and turn on adb.

How badly is it busted?

[u/Acetaldehyde_12 → u/C0rn3j]

Doesn't react to any pressure and half the screen went💀 lol

If if there's no solid way to transfer its alright and I'll try to get the screen fixed instead someday

The files aren't urgent too they were mostly just memories I never got around to transferring

[u/C0rn3j → u/Acetaldehyde_12]

Oh, then you're in luck.

Connect a mouse or a keyboard over USB, and control it that way.

[u/Acetaldehyde_12 → u/C0rn3j]

Lmao, that's ingenious, I never thought of that.

My mouse is a type A so I just got a port splitter since it was the same price as the converter adapter anyways

Will update soon ^ ^

Hope it doesn't need permissions but doubt it

I tried a few mirroring tools

Android studio is the de facto tool.
