Enable ADB on Samsung Blocked Devices (Quick Share Method)
No Need to Open the Phone!
Hey guys!
If you fix phones, you know the struggle with KG Locked or MDM devices. It is a real pain.
The biggest headache is that you need ADB turned on to fix them, but the phone is locked tight. You can't open settings, and you can't scan any QR codes.
Usually, when we see this, we think, "Oh man, I have to open the back, remove the screws, and solder wires (ISP)." That takes forever and it's risky.
But guess what? We found a new trick. You don't need to open the phone. You don't need to solder anything. We are going to use Quick Share to sneak an app into the phone.
How it Works
The idea is simple. The phone is locked, but the "Accessibility" menu still works. We can use that menu to force the phone to open Quick Share. Once that is open, we can send a helper app from another phone.
What You Need
- The locked Samsung phone.
- Another normal Android phone (your own phone is fine).
- The DTpro APK file (download this on your normal phone first).
Steps to Do It
Follow these steps carefully. It looks like a lot, but it's actually very fast.
Step 1: Get the Locked Phone Ready
- Turn on the locked phone.
- Go to the Accessibility menu on the screen.
- Turn on TalkBack.
- In the TalkBack settings, look for "Braille Display". Tap it.
- If it asks you to Allow, just tap Allow.
- You might see a message saying "To use Braille Display, First Turn On TalkBack." Tap that message.
- Now, look for "Installed Apps" and tap it.
- Find the app called "Live Transcribe" and open it. (Tap "Only this time" if it asks).
- Inside that app, find Network Settings and click it.
- Scroll down until you see Quick Share. Click it!
- Change the setting "Who can share with you" to Everyone.
Okay, now the locked phone is ready to catch the file.
Step 2: Send the App from Your Phone
- Grab your own working phone.
- Find the DTpro APK you downloaded.
- Tap Share and pick Quick Share.
- You should see the locked Samsung phone appear on the screen. Tap it to send.
Step 3: Install and Unlock
- Back on the locked phone, you will see a pop-up. Tap Accept.
- When it finishes, tap Open.
- Install the app.
- Open the DTpro app and just follow the instructions on the screen. It will switch on the ADB for you.
Why I Like This Method
- It's Safe: You don't have to risk breaking the screen or the back glass by opening the phone.
- It's Fast: Once you know the steps, it takes like 2 minutes.
- No QR Code Needed: This is great for phones where the camera won't scan the setup QR code.

Common Questions (FAQs)
Q: I can't find "Live Transcribe" in the menu.
A: Sometimes it is hidden. Check under "Installed Apps" in Accessibility. If you really can't find it, look for "Voice Access" or "Google Assistant" in the same menu; sometimes those work too.
Q: Do I need the internet?
A: You need internet on your working phone to download the APK file first. The locked phone doesn't need internet to receive the file via Quick Share.
Q: Will this unlock the phone completely?
A: This step just turns on ADB (USB Debugging). Once ADB is on, you can connect it to your computer and use your unlock tools to finish the job. This just opens the door for you.
Q: Quick Share isn't working.
A: Make sure the screen on the locked phone is ON when you try to send the file.
Hope this helps you guys out! It saved me a lot of time today.
