Hello, looking for a bit of help with a problem. I broke the screen on my Nexus 6 a few days ago, and I'm trying to get access to the phone again. The screen is completely black, no image whatsoever, but the phone is still working fine (apparently, even the digitizer--the phone started ringing, so on a whim I swiped to answer the call and it worked fine). It was completely stock without root and with USB debugging enabled (I'm kicking myself for that, it was turned on until a week or so ago). It is locked with a PIN. I managed to use Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit to boot into TWRP, then used ADB to back up all the files on the device. Unfortunately, I'm waiting on a Nexus 5x to be delivered and won't get it for another few days, so I'm looking to access the text messages on the device. I've been trying to use this tool to access my phone from my computer, but the problem is that USB debugging is disabled. I tried following these instructions to enable USB debugging from recovery using ADB, but it doesn't seem to be working. First I received errors saying that the files were read-only when attempting to write to build.prop, but using this StackOverflow question and answer I remounted it and the commands seemed to work. However, after rebooting the phone it doesn't show up in ADB Devices. It does appear to have rebooted fully--I'm hearing notifications periodically again--but I'm guessing the method to enable USB debugging failed. Does anybody have any other suggestions for how I can get USB debugging enabled?
