The first, for safety.

You need to enable USB debugging and confirm the first USB connection.

A tool that works without these steps would be wonderful for recovering smashed phones, and a nightmare for all the others that work :)

That is why I wanted to clarify haha. Was wondering if Android was so exposed by default. Good to hear it’s not.

But if the screen is already broken with the pin you can authorize it via OTG mode! So without anabling the debug mode in advance:

I have to test it, without smashing the screen.

Really handy!
