Help need step by step usb debug

Ok so how do i put phone into debug mode with a broken screen. I'm looking for blind step by step such as: Hold power button and volume down
hit down 2 times
etc.
 
Hi outtaluck, What you want to do is get into Developer Mode. Settings > More > About Device > Tap Build number 7 times which will put phone into Developer mode. > Tap Return Arrow (top left of screen) > now you should see Developer Options between Date and Time and About Device. Open Developer Options and scroll down to USB Debugging and check. This should be done when phone is connected to your comp. When you're finished you need to go back and uncheck USB Debugging. Hope that's what you wanted.

The screen is broken, he can't see those steps ;)
 
The OP also posted this thread with a little more background / detail on their problem.

@outtaluck, you're kind of stuck in the same hard spot as a lot of folks that have a broken screen and had not previously enabled USB debugging.

Your best bet at this point is probably going to be a screen/digitizer replacement unless you're able to get the screen to display somewhere else (as suggested in the other thread) and to be able to control items on your screen.

Sorry :(.

OK. I've had S4's with broken screen that still displayed and responded to touch. Misread meaning of 'blind'. Unfortunately if he can't use the screen at all - it may need screen/digitizer renewal.
