Just know you've gotta prep the phone BEFORE the screen dies :)

First thing I do when getting a new phone is enable ADB and set up permanent trust for my PC's ADB keys so I have this trick available if/when the screen dies. PERMANENT trust - you need to disable "automatically revoke keys" on the phone or they poof.

I've had several Android phones become unusable after a drop due to screen death over the years, and this saves a LOT of hassle.

My phone's screen died the same way. Thank god I had adb set up for claude to use.
Or like me you disabled the usb port entirely before first unlock on grapheneos, and then break your screen :(
