follow first link and download platform-tools. use any mobile phone for testing. enable usb-debugging in developer options and connect usb cable. execute adb.exe adb devices and authorize connection on phone screen. now you should be able to open adb shell you will see $ prompt. you can browse files for example cd /sdcard and ls. now you understand how successful adb looks like. you can now connect the broken phone and see if adb devices show something (probably not). But you can follow my last comment and flash TWRP. after flashing, boot into recovery and check adb shell is working

I'm not gonna lie tho but you seem very knowledgeable on the subject and I really barely understood anything (no offense, I just don't know much) so in summary I just need to find and download "adb shell" on my pc and then come back? | |
| Mar 30, 2021 at 13:32 | comment | added | alecxs | you should be able to reach download mode and flash TWRP custom recovery with heimdall. you can't copy files if device is encrypted, but you can modify boot or system from twrp adb shell. report back once you have adb shell, will give you instructions | |
| Mar 30, 2021 at 13:28 | comment | added | alecxs | combination firmware should have adb enabled by default, can be flashed without data loss. SuperSU for j1minive3g should work too, but not sure about this will wipe data | |
| Mar 30, 2021 at 13:04 | comment | added | alecxs | this should work for any Spreadtrum chipset, except no fastboot available, but you can gather information from heimdall and/or custom recovery (or even dump/flash boot partition straight from adb commands while on custom recovery) android.stackexchange.com/q/232319 | |

| Mar 29, 2021 at 11:36 | comment | added | alecxs | How old? some phones can be flashed on locked bootloader, means availbility to flash adb enabled boot or recovery. some phones aren't encrypted, allowing raw dump of userdata partition | |
