My screen is broke and i need to get some stuff off of it - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I accidentally dropped my phone the other day and the screen broke. The screen is completely unresponsive (stays black all the time) the only action i get is that the Menu, home, back, and search buttons light up. I need to get to some files on the phone and im having an issue with remotely accessing them.
I cant access anything on the phone cause the screencast tool i have requires the phone to have USB debugging turned on. When the phone was dropped it was turned off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, maybe later I can post screenshots of where to tap on the screen to get usb debugging on. I have a samsung epic, so it shouldn't be hard. That is if the screen will still register taps. What home launcher were you using?

I believe it was the touchwiz gtg launcher. I believe the menus are set the same. Also that would be very helpful.

This is the TWlauncher from the epic, all I have is a theme, so this should be the same for you.

Tried it on my Captivate. It is super smooth and well done. There were some customization issues that I got used to with go launcher and launcher pro. But overall it's probably the most sophisticated and well build launcher for android.
You can find the beta version if you just google it

Can anyone port the Samsung TV Remote control app to the EVO? I've looked around and haven't seen anyone even mention this but for those of us that have a newer Samsung flat screen, we would love this app. For some reason, money.., it is only working on Samsung Android phones PLEASE AND THANK YOU

He didn't know that throwing an item made of plastic and glass would shatter and break? Maybe he needs to invest in a Jitterbug.
Very nice breakdown pics bulletproof, I realize this thread is a few months old but I was just wondering if you might be able to tell me how to go about replacing the circuit board with the capacitive buttons on it? Can it be done without removing the glass? Didn't mean to hijack..
Its fine. Yes you can. But there are some other MORE detailed than my thread instructions. I suggest looking for one of those. Sorry i dont have a link . Im at work.its pretty easy to disassemble.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Yeah, I have it disassembled down to the metal frame, but have not been able to figure out how to get the plastic on the bottom off. The piece under the one that has the heavy metal traces/circuits on it that is.

Therr are 4 tabs on either side. The top and bottom are the hardest. Be really careful cause u will be prying next to the screen.

Okay I couldn't find a video or picture tutorial for removing the screen.. I guess the glass does have to come off
to replace the part I need to replace (see picture) that board on mine is severely corroded.

I never got that to work, only double tapping to turn on, it must be sensitive. Also that's why I'm not a huge fan of the camera :/
I upgraded from the DNA as well,and so far I don't have any complaints. The camera isn't the best but I knew that going in.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
You can improve the camera a lot by the custom settings.
.
^this was a bit over saturated
The cameras not really bad. It's a 4 'ultra pixel' but it's good in low light and all the effects I.E 3D makes up for the la lacking pixels. I love the phone coming from a note 3. The build quality,display,size,speakers,and speed is what I favor most.
I'm not a real fan of sense but I took care of that with nova launcher and the viper1 Rom? I recommend that Rom if you're thinking about rooting ?
HTC ONE M8?
After a little over a week of use my experiences with this phone has been nothing but positive... Of course the camera leaves a lot to be desired but other than that, smooth sailing.. After a day of use on a full charge I still have 50% + left. It almost lasted 2 days that's a lot more improvement over the droid DNA.. I haven't rooted yet, I'm actually kind of scared and hesitant to. On another note I feel like I made the right decision over and S5..
