[Completed] [Q] How to access your android's data with no display using pc?

My motorola g2's display s gone. I can't see anything. The problem is I had set a password as lock screen.Now i can't connect it to pc as it needs to be unlocked first in order for pc to detect it. & i can't unlock it as there is no display on phone. I will get it repaired but i don't want to lose the data on the phone they often reset phone while or after repairing. so my question is is there any way i can connect it to pc? or i have google account signed in in that so can i use it any way to get photos or access them on pc? or can i connect it to pc without using usb cable?

Hi

Screen doesn't work and I need to get my pictures off

Hi there, My nexus 5 is having screen issues and the screen basically doesn't function due to what I can only assume is a bad connection on the mainboard ( if I press in the right area with the back cover off the screen will flicker and work a tiny bit if I reboot the phone.) My issue is I still have tons of pictures that are very dear to me on the device and need to get them off of it. When I connect it to my pc (windows 7) it connects and shows up as a nexus 5 device but nothing will appear in the folder. Im fairly certain I have the correct drivers installed as well. So how can I get it to connect properly with having basically no access to the screen? Ill even paypal you $5 if your answer works for me, thanks

Did you enable USB debugging? Did you enable MTP when connected to a computer? Is the computer a trusted device?

must have at some point because i connected it to a computer in the past, no idea and i dont know how to, and i dont know.

If the the phone is running a stock ROM and has a lock screen PIN, pattern, or password, you probably need to unlock the phone and select MTP as the USB option in order to have the Nexus 5 files appear in Windows Explorer.
If you have access to another N5, you could swap motherboards, copy the data, and swap motherboards again.

Galaxy S6 - Chrome remote debugging

Hello guys,
I got a Galaxy S6 since 2 days and struggle to be able to debug my apps with it. I have a Nexus 5 which works perfectly for that and appears right away in chrome://inspect/#devices, but that GS6 won't show up. Of course I activated USB debugging in developer options, but the prompt to accept the RSA fingerprint of the computer never appears ! I tried uninstalling the device, installing Kies 3 and plugging it back again, it didn't help.
So, what will it take to work ?
Thanks ahead !

Well, just tried something else... Used USB Deview to uninstall all drivers related to ADB, then installed the latest Samsung USB drivers, and it works. Thanks anyway, have a good day !

In Remote devices , i couldn't see mobile device. Though , i have enabled the USB debugging and set USB configuration as RNDIS (USB ethernet) in mobile device.
Thanks!

Backup of whole system via ADB - Touchscreen broken & not readable

Hello,
unfortunately my S7 fell to the ground and what began with a very small pixel-sized purple dot, now spread all over the screen so I can't see anything on the screen. Thereby I can't confirm any prompts.
When I plug the device via USB to my Linux computer, calling for "adb devices" the phone is listed "offline". I also tried the ADB suite on a windows computer, where it is "unauthorized". I can't confirm the prompt as the touchscreen doesn't work.
Are there any cables, that allow to connect to a working screen (TV) or that allow multiple connections for PC and wired mouse? The idea is, to connect to the computer and then blindly clicking, hoping to hit the correct button eventually.
Is there a solution, using the hard buttons in order to get to a certain boot mode? I read something about this, but didn't find a way, yet. The phone is not rooted.
Best regards
Jens

I use sydesync, only connecting the USB cable to PC and you can use your phone in the PC. But you need install the app before.

I installed the app via my google play account. Unfortunately, I am asked to scan a qr code and to enter a PIN. As I can't read and use the display, there is no chance to start sidesync on my phone.

If you can access by USB MTP you can take one screenshot and see the code in your pc

I'm sorry. I don't understand how this could work.
I have to open the app on the phone. That is impossible, as I don't know where it is because the screen is black

SOLVED: S7 dropped > broken screen > how to recover images? Not rooted,not "usb mode"

SOLVED: S7 dropped > broken screen > how to recover images? Not rooted,not "usb mode"
So my wife dropped S7 to the floor and device ended up to be fully powered, but screen is now all black. Back and "software" button illuminates. I can change volume. I can take photos. So phone works, but screen is all black. Main concern is to have photos out from the phone. Contacts are synced, software etc. can be installed to new phone.
Kies finds the phone, but says that is' locked. Although phone does not have any passcodes or fingerprint, Kies cannot access to photos. Also the PC does see the device, but it won't allow me to see the contents. Find My Mobile is not activated, I think that I can't activate it now without phone. Also Smart Switch says that phone is locked. Phone settings are pretty much as out from the box. USB debugging is off, Developper options off, etc...
But I found that possible via ABD (?) I could access phone storage. Is it so? I sould start the phone to Recovery Mode / Download Mode? How to do that? Normally the phone is on and I can't switch it off. I can only soft reset is by keeping vol- + power buttons pressed for 10sec. But after that, phone just restarts to OS.
Please give hints how to proceed. What to try. New LCD is around 50USD and takes forever to get from Aliexpress/Ebay.

Why not use an external display? Hook it up to the USB-connector via an adaptor and it should work to unlock the phone using a PC-mouse.

O, it has such feature? Quick googling did not help how to do it. How does it work? Do I need some cable or device?

Any ideas how to proceed? I either can reboot device to Recovery mode and use ADB or connect external display to the device. Or if someone has any better solution

Please help. Family photos are in the phone

Try to unlock your lock screen with a usb mouse connected via otg and swiping up with the mouse. Then connect it to the computer and try to backup your data with kies or switch.

Tried many thing how to allow the connection from another phone or computer. However it was not possible to connect, so I ordered a new screen. Once new screen installed, it was not even a challenge Ordered new screen from Aliexpress.
