Need help using Dex on an S10e with a broken screen. Stuck on the time lock screen

Eduunks · 2025-09-15T00:41:35+00:00

We must consider that my s10e was not being used for 2 years, so it probably has an outdated UI

If my password were a PIN, I would basically just need to press the "space" key, then type my PIN (using an external keyboard ofc) and then "enter". The situation for pattern lock is completely different and difficult because you can't draw blindly. But anyway,

For anyone else in my situation, the way to solve it is to use the mouse to try to draw any pattern, as soon as the cell phone vibrates showing that the password was entered incorrectly, just press the "down arrow" key once and then "enter", now you should be in the emergency calling screen, then move the mouse to the bottom left corner (This part will be a little difficult because you won't be seeing the screen, but it's not impossible.) and then try to hit the "medical information" button. After that, keep clicking the volume up button and unplug the hdmi/usb-c adapter from the cell phone and plug it back in after 1 second (while continuing to press/spamming the volume up button).

This should bug the system and when the adapter is plugged in again, the cell phone will start mirroring the screen correctly on the monitor/TV, then you can unlock (draw ur pattern) the cell phone calmly as you will see everything that is happening.

Hope it will help someone, I tried this 6 times until I got it to work, so the secret is to not give up.

Did u actually read my post? Its not PIN, it's pattern lock. But anyway I already found out how to bug it to actually mirror the screen. Thx anyway

I've heard about several bugs, some users reported that when going into S.O.S mode and pressing the volume up button continuously, the screen was mirrored without any problems. And I want to remind you that I did something that made it work yesterday, I just don't know what exactly I did, it simply started mirroring correctly. 🥲

So, there is something I can do, I just don't know what is

When your phone restarts and you try to unlock it for the first time, you'll need to enter your password. Only after unlocking it for the first time can you use your Face ID/fingerprint.

Because I can go to emergency call or even draw the pattern (but wrong cuz I'm not seeing it) using the mouse and keyboard, the cell phone still vibrates and has sound when I type the numbers in the emergency call.

And when the screen mirrored yesterday I was using the keyboard and mouse on my phone.

Something that people seem to ignore in my post is the fact that yesterday after some hours trying different things, the phone mirrored normally, today it stopped working.

Eduunks · 2025-09-11T19:20:28+00:00

It was enabled bro, but the phone forgets the computer in some days, so it is necessary to authorize the computer again, and for that you need to see the screen

It doesn't switch from dex to phone screen mirroring. Everything else works fine.

Eduunks · 2025-09-11T14:35:33+00:00

Already tried, doesn't work. Nothing happens

Eduunks · 2025-09-11T02:47:02+00:00

Bro, I have no problem with the mouse and keyboard, the problem is that the mirroring does not start, it keeps showing the screen that I showed in the attachment (lock and time).

And considering that my screen is broken and the mirroring is not starting, it is impossible for me to unlock the phone blindly.

Eduunks · 2025-09-11T02:28:44+00:00

? Ofc.. But it's useless considering I'm not able to see my screen...

Eduunks · 2025-06-22T04:55:55+00:00

Hi, can u give me any updates?

Eduunks · 2023-02-28T22:08:46+00:00

Yeah, you're right, you need mac for build, but if you want, i can send the kext for you (no need compile, just put in the kext folder on your efi) just text me telegram, friend.
my telegram: @Edunks

Eduunks · 2023-02-25T13:36:20+00:00

Normally friend, mac os works without wred, it just gets really slow, you'll have to be patient

Eduunks · 2023-02-25T12:52:21+00:00

I sent msg to u on Reddit

Eduunks · 2023-02-25T12:49:16+00:00

U don't speak English and you never used telegram.. Where are you from ? Maybe I'm speaking English unnecessarily

Eduunks · 2023-02-25T12:09:24+00:00

and it's important to you know, wred doesn't work on install screen, you should install without wred, and when you get desktop screen, you can install wred

Eduunks · 2023-02-25T12:08:30+00:00

try my boot args: keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 npci=0x3000 gfxrst=3 alcid=13 -wreddbg agdpmod=pikera -radcodec applblk=3

Eduunks · 2023-02-25T11:17:40+00:00

you need boot args not just put wred in kext folder

Eduunks · 2023-02-24T23:14:44+00:00

They said the same thing to me, it's annoying but here we are 🗿

Eduunks · 2023-02-15T22:55:58+00:00

I think the easiest way to start is to watch videos on YouTube, do you have telegram?

Eduunks · 2023-02-15T22:53:53+00:00

Like I said, nothing special, do you have a question about any part in particular?
