Dropped my Nexus 6 this morning and now the screen is barely legible and touch doesn't work. Want to remote in with ADB to get what I need off the device; however when I connect it to my laptop I get a prompt to allow debugging (OK/Cancel); however I can't click OK because the screen doesn't work. If I connect an OTG adapter and a dongle for a mouse, I can move a cursor around the screen and click on icons.

Problem is I can't have both connected at the same time. I tried various configurations through a powered USB hub but none worked.

Is there a way to work around this?

Solved:

  1. Connected the Android Phone to a keyboard via Bluetooth
  2. Connect the USB cable, launch adb debugging (see below)
  3. "Enable USB Debugging" prompt will appear on the device, right arrow + enter on the keyboard to accept
  4. Install the Vysor Chrome plugin to connect to your device (see below) 
    ADB debugging:
..\Android\Sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
ZXXXXXFN      unauthorized
    -->after accepting adb debugging: 
    ..\Android\Sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
ZXXXXXFN      device

Install Vysor:
