Enable USB debugging on the remote computer

I have a LG P970 phone running on Gingerbread with a broken screen. By a broken screen, I mean that nothing is displayed on the screen - it glows, everything is black with colored lines, but it is sensitive to touch (I suppose). I have important data, and I want to return it. Unfortunately, USB debugging mode is disabled on the phone, so the adb devices command on Linux shows an empty dialog.

So, here is my question: is it possible to remotely enable usb debugging mode on an Android device?

Here is how I solved this problem (on Samsung Galaxy S4):

This suggests that the phone screen does not display anything, but the touch input still works.

  • See how to take a screenshot on your phone without using the user interface. On the Galaxy S4, you can use the hardware buttons for this.
  • Unlock the phone’s lock screen and connect it to the computer.
  • Open your phone in the file manager.
  • Find the location where screenshots are stored.
  • Take a screenshot on your phone. See the updated screenshot.

Having done this, you can perform the action on Android, take a screenshot and see which screen appears. After that, you can find the USB Debugging menu.

Simple, use a new phone, say, S4 to your broken broken S4 and get to the video portal (some videos on YouTube), connect the new screen to the old phone, and now you have access to the usb debug set or transferring all files to it is just as easy. How to connect to the home screen!
