I obtained a Nexus 6 with a dead screen. I am trying to cast the screen to my computer. In order to do so, I believe I need to have USB Debugging enabled (which is presumably off).

I managed to boot into recovery mode

I tried to follow: How to enable USB Debugging in Android if forgotten pattern for screen-unlock?

but for some reason /data is empty.

I have mounted /system and added appended various lines to build files (link needed)

I am using twrp-3.1.1-0-shamu.img recovery image. When I boot (via fastboot) this image I can use ADB.

I have an OTG cable, mouse and keyboard but I doubt they will be helpful since I cannot see the screen

It may sound stupid, but when you noticed /data was empty in recovery mode did you make sure that Data partition was mounted already? – Firelord Jun 09 '17 at 02:55
BTW, does WebKey not work for you? https://webkey.cc/ – Firelord Jun 09 '17 at 03:02
@Firelord I tried to mount it but it wasn't in fstab. – TAAPSogeking Jun 09 '17 at 03:53
@Firelord I don't know how to install an app in recovery mode so I don't know how I would use webkey.cc – TAAPSogeking Jun 09 '17 at 03:55

@MarkYisri Thanks for the link. I've seen variations all over that didn't work. Maybe this one will. Will try – TAAPSogeking Jun 11 '17 at 04:51
