I have a non-rooted verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535). The display slowly started dying and is totally gone now. No illumination at all. I need to retrieve my data. However, my phone is locked with a PIN. Now what? Without being able to unlock the device I can't just plug it in to my PC and copy over the files. Surely I'm not the only one this has happened to. I don't plan on repairing it unless utterly necessary.

Hi there,
I'm really desperate for some help. bit of an odd situation.
In august last year my mum committed suicide, I have recently got her things back and I am trying to access the data on her phone. It is a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, but the problem I'm having is it has a broken screen, also does not have USB Debugging switched on.
The police claimed they needed all her electricals to check for evidence, which is why they needed to keep it for nearly 4 months, however I dont believe they have in fact even checked the phone.
I really want to be able to access the text messages, so I can see if there was any indication prior to her death.
Please help if you can
Thank you
Milo

Hi
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Depending on how badly the screen is broken you might be able to connect a mouse to it via an OTG cable. If that doesn't work the best place to ask this is in > Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100, N7105 > Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. Experts there may be able to help you.
Good luck
I have a Galaxy Note 4 with a bad screen.
The phone will boot but the screen is totally blank.
I would like to sell the motherboard but I need to remove all personal data from the phone first.
Is there a way where I can connect the phone to a mouse and computer monitor where I can interact with the phone.
If yes, would appreciate some links to whatever hardware I need to buy and/or any tips.
Thanks.

My Gear S2 would not function correctly after being paired with my GS4, which I'm presuming is because the GS4 had the flash count triggered.
Presently it operates acceptably with the S7 but I haven't rooted my S7 yet. Nevertheless, I'd still thoroughly appreciate root access on both devices without losing functionality on either.
Cheers!

I feel so green here. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5, 6.0.1.. I love phones and apps and the net. I like to absorb as much as I can while tending to a big family and life lol.
My WiFi is going to be off for about a week. I am curious what apps or downloads would help me navigate through this upcoming lonely-without-my-WiFi or even allow me to have the ability to still be online without (no Data either)?
Also, I have not been able to root this phone yet. I'm frustrated about that in general but I assume it limits some of your suggestions.
Thanks for your help
