The screen of my Galaxy Nexus is broken (also see Cannot access galaxy nexus via adb).
It seems like USB-debugging was deactivated, so my only way to recover the data is to flash a rom on the phone that has USB-debugging activated per default. I think this should work using fastboot.
At the moment the device has AOKP installed. If I reflash AOKP on the phone, will USB-debugging be activated?
In other words: Does AOKP have USB-debugging activated per default?
adb devices
). Keep us updated (maybe with an answer when solved? ;) Good luck! – Izzy Sep 03 '14 at 14:53
