Perhaps the prompt wasn't on the broken part? Can also plug in a keyboard and use that if you know the sequence.

Note that scrcpy has an OTG mode which allows to use the computer keyboard and mouse "as if" they were connected via an OTG cable: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/hid-otg... (in that case, USB debugging is not necessary)

> Can also plug in a keyboard and use that if you know the sequence.

For information, once the phone is unlocked and the authorization popup is open, the sequence to validate the authorization popup is Tab, Enter, Tab, Tab, Enter. The difficult part is to enable USB debugging to get the authorization popup without adb though.

Has anyone gotten this mode to work with Windows yet?
Thanks ... I'll try installing the Google drivers.
srcpy can actually emulate a keyboard and mouse in OTG mode! Discovering that was a thrill for my use case.
