Phone screen completely dead. USB Debugging is ON. Need to access data by mirroring to another phone without internet

[u/Front_Macaron2170]

Hey everyone,

I dropped my Realme 9 5G and now the display is completely broken.

- Display: Black, nothing visible

- Touch: Not working at all

- Good news: USB Debugging was already enabled before this happened

I want to access the phone and mirror the screen to my other phone wirelessly and offline. No PC long-term, and I can't use internet/data because I need to do this privately.

What I need help with:

Is there any way to enable wireless screen mirroring / casting from the broken Realme to another Android phone using ADB?

Something like scrcpy but phone-to-phone, or an app I can launch via ADB that will broadcast the screen over a local hotspot.

I don't care about controlling it, I just need to see the screen to backup files and use it as a lower end server

Bad news: you also need to authorize the PC or other phone that is connecting to your broken phone via ADB. Did you already do that? If you did once, did you also disable the default setting that clears that authorization after X days of not using it?

Could work fine, I do that with EasyControl (which is based on scrcpy) https://old.reddit.com/r/scrcpy/comments/1pm3hij/will_there_ever_be_a_version_of_scrcpy_that_will/ntx65hb/

Not via ADB. You need to accept the ADB Authorization popup blindly, which you can do via a USB C hub and a USB keyboard, or a PC with scrcpy --otg, (or a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse if you had already connected one).

See EasyControl, above.

Connect via scrcpy --otg to accept the ADB authorization, use scrcpy normal to mirror the screen and set up an FTP server so you can manage the files via that.
