possibly, I’ve never looked into enabling adb manually (not thru the settings like you normally would)

Ok, sorry. My adb devices does not show anything because I never enabled usb debugging. Right? Am I completely screwed because of this?

Don’t worry, this took me a few days of tinkering to get anywhere, first off this relies on adb having been enabled on your device before breaking the digitizer. However if you do have adb enabled on the tablet and it’s not detecting it, my first guess would be drivers, because you should be able to query it via adb even if it’s locked (unless you did a tweak to disable that). You will execute those sql statements from adb shell in the directory /data/system/. As for after the sql commands, you will essentially be telling your tablet that there is a dpad and that you are pressing buttons with the key events i mentioned which will allow you to go to the settings and turn on menu to unlock. Because there is no physical menu button you will need to use the same adb shell input method mentioned every time to unlock your device (so you should probably make it not lock for a while). Then you restore the sql back to normal (changing the 0 back to a 1) and you should be able to unlock your device with the adb menu key input event. Hope this brief explanation makes sense, if not feel free to reply on what doesn’t make sense and I’ll do my best to clear it up.

Hey,

I am in the same situation here. I have a screen lock and the screen digitizer on my nexus 7 broke. Could you go into a little more detail of how you are going through this. I am slowly learning what you are doing. ADB does not list my device when i query adb devices. This is because it is locked, correct? Second, how do I even start with the SQL commands? I know how to run sqlite in my cmd prompt but where do I go from here? Sorry for being such a noob. This is a real help!

Not sure, try starting the dvd in verbose mode, maybe it’ll give you an error, so type “-v” then hit enter

I have tried this several times, but I keep getting stuck. I follow every bit of the video, I load hackboot 1, then select the OSX Mountain Lion DVD.iso it runs the commands but then stops after uptime in nanoseconds: then it states how many.

Any ideas how I can overcome this?

No problem, glad you liked it, I had to do it for school myself.
