[Completed] Access phone (Galaxy S5) through laptop when screen broke (Lockscreen)

Hi, looked and could't see any info on this and unsure as to what forum to put it in.
I broke my s5, the phone turns on and I can hear it load up but screen is black and unresponsive. I am trying to access the phone contents on my laptop but normally when I do this when it was working I would have to unlock the phone first (pattern lock).
As the screen is unresponsive I can't do this? Is there any way I can access phone contents? I have a lot of stuff on the memory card and on cloud services but also have a lot of this on the phone memory that I would like to recover.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The S5 has a locked bootloader so I don't think it's going to be possible. But, I've attached a link to the S5 help forum where you can get expert help. You'll have to register on XDA first.

[Completed] Lost Data, Please, Please Help!!

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

[Completed] Display Samsung Galaxy Note 4 on Computer Monitor

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.

[Completed] Samsung galaxy S7 security bypass

So a month and a half ago I found a galaxy s7 in the street, since then I've advertised online and around town and have only got responses from thrives. After waiting long enough I've decided to try unlock it myself as it is blocked by the original owner, I was wondering if there is anyway of resetting it by fast boot commands or any other way ? Please help, shame to let such a good phone go to waste.
