So as I said, I do not have an actual display or monitor for my raspberry pi 3. That's why I wanted to use an old android phone (htc desire 500) as a display.

That for I followed a tutorial (very serious though) --> http://joshuawoehlke.com/android-raspberry-pi-display-over-usb/

I rigourusly followed every single step of it, but finally, as I started the vnc viewer at 192.168.42.42:1 , it never asked for my password.

It just continued to connect until the natural error dialog error : connection timedout appeared. So Guys, if any of you has ever tried this, it would be really nice if you could help me out, because without a proper display i can't even begin my PI Project

The tutorial you posted is obsolete.

See Start VNC on Jessie at boot

Also the method of setting a static IP won't work see How do I set up networking/WiFi/Static IP
