Broke my screen replacing the usb port on my Pixel 3a XL, no big deal right? 5 year old phone, very popular, lots of replacement parts!
It's 130 if I buy locally. I could upgrade to a pixel 4a XL for 160.
Even from Aliexpress it's 55! That's 1/3rd the value of the phone!
Why are there no after market parts? I don't need oled! I don't need HD! I'd take a 480 led screen if it was cheap

Yea it really is. They know I need that screen to backup my photos and shit, they have me by the balls.
And of course every phone I could buy for parts has a smashed screen.

cant you hook it up to an external display via the usbc and then connect a bluetooth mouse and keyboard then transfer yourfiles with wifi/bluetooth or cloud? Either way, good luck!

Only if you enabled that in developer settings while the screen was usable. Ever since I got fricked by this same scenario I do that first thing when I get a new phone

setting up backup procedure + debug access via scrcpy should happen very early in the setup phase when getting a new phone. You got a relatively cheap lesson here

I don't know if it's because I changed the hardware, or some ubuntu bug, or a bug in ADB but after swapping the usb port for the new one the device is now unauthorized.
Can a mobile javacel shed some light?

are you sure you also enabled the settings that adb certificates don't get periodically deleted (I think the normal lifetime is one week)

I did not.

honestly, custom roms should disable all this security theater crap by default. Technical users don't need the guard rails, and we already get theft discouragement if the 99.9% of normies have locked down devices
User who install roms already implicitly voiced their opinion on the freedom vs security tradeoff

A lot of roms don't even publish builds for the pixel 3 anymore because the firmware is EOL so it's "insecure"

You don't need a screen
to do that. Just a USB c to hdmi adapter. With something 
like this you can plug in a mouse 
and keyboard 
too

I don't think Pixels support hdmi over usb. At least, my 6 doesn't

Probably not one of those pieces of shit. Those little grey Chinese ones half the time have something fricky, best just get a USB C to USB A cable, which may have just come with the phone connected to a charger anyway.
God I hate those pieces of shit little grey hubs.

Its a Pixel phone. Did you turn off auto-backup? It should auto-backup to your google account everytime its plugged into a charger longer than 2 hours.

I flashed a custom rom because google stopped updating it, I back everything weekly going to change that to daily when I get the new screen
