My brother recently shattered the screen on his s6 active. I was able to remove the bad screen because it was black and nothing on it at all. The phone still functions because the light comes on and changed colors when he got messages. I connected it to Kies and it will not recognize it because it is locked with a pattern. He bought a quick prepaid phone to use for now. His pictures and everything did not sync to his google account so everything is in the phone. I dont think he turned on debugging because he does not even know what it is. Long story short is there a way I can access the files and copy them over with adb or something? Or maybe a prepaid 30 dollar phone that uses the same display connection that I can just rip the screen off and plug it in temporarily? Anyone able to give any advise on this? Thanks in advance.

Accidentally dropped my phone the other day, screen is cracked and now I can't unlock the phone because of the pattern lock. Now, when I plug my phone to the PC nothing happens because the phone must be set to allow the PC to read the contents.. but since I can't unlock the phone to change that setting, I can't do anything atm. All data is in the internal memory of the phone, so no sdcard. (I regret I had it this way)
Is there maybe a software that can do this?
Phone is ZTE Max aka Boost Max.

you can connect a otg cable and mouse to your phone and use the mose to draw your unlock pattern.
I'll try here because this came up in a search.
I dropped my LG G2 and cracked the screen so that I only have a very small area where I can get some reaction. Not enough to swipe over the screen to unlock it. I keep getting the LG notification that my screen is damaged and offering to allow me to control it through the hardware keys, but it won't accept those commands either. And now, when I plug it in to try to get my data off the phone, it's stuck on charge only, so I can't transfer anything.
Any ideas? All I really want are a few pictures from this past weekend. Everything else is backed up in DropBox.
I don't know what an OTG cable is and I don't think that I even have a mouse anymore.
Thanks.
I've been a long time lurker and never really made an account.
But recently my Nexus 5 stopped working.
get no display, But I can assume the phone is on because when I connect it, the holder on my computer opens up.
I assume there is something wrong with the connection. sometimes i can play with the daughterboard and the backlight lights up. but there is still no display.
The problem is that the phone is in PTP instead of MPT.
I don't care about the phone much as the pictures on it, because they are the last picture I have of a family member that recently passed away in an accident.
Even though the phone is rooted. when I load up Nexus toolkit, the phone is listed as unauthorized and I don't know how to pull any files off of it.
Can someone help lead me to a solution?
Thank you in advance.
You can backup your files by using adb pull.
Check this out.
Has USB debugging been enabled? Have any of your computers been authorized by the phone?
hello, my friend has dropped her phone and now the screen is black and i dont know if the touch still works, she wants me to get her photos off the phone but it needs to be unlocked so the pc can see the files,
what options have i got to retrieve the files? ive tried one of the programs but you need to turn on debugging which obviously i cant do with out seeing the screen, which was frustrating after there great advertising!
thanks for any help
my friend has remembered her gmail details that the phone is connected too, does this help? i can install apps to the phone using my pc but dont know how this helps me?
If i can get usb debugging turned on somehow then getting the files off would be easy, is there an app or something that can do this remotely?
Im guessing not as nothings coming up with a search :?
Hello,
my phone fell to the ground, the screen went blue, then black. I can't see anything. It had stock ROM on it, I never updated the firmware nor tried to root it. Thing is, I would like to access the phone to recover pics, contacts, and so on. I had enabled the USB debug mode a while ago to transfer data to the computer. However, when I plug it in to my computer now, I can't access the phone because I had the fingerprint lock on, and when you reboot you can't use the fingerprint as you need to first use the backup password. But I can't type the password because the screen is completely black. So I'm stuck there!
I can get to download mode, and Odin does recognize the phone. If I were to use Samsung's newest firmware, would that solve the issue? I'm thinking here that updating to the newest firmware would mean I wouldn't have to type the password to get in, but I really have no idea.
There are few programs out there that claim that you can actually bypass the lock screen, but they do not support the G920V as of now.
Any tips would be much appreciated!
Perhaps attempt using an USB OTG adapter with a keyboard. It may take a couple attempts, but should work to get the password in.
Hi all,
Firstly I've looked on all black screen help pages but none of them help. Last week my galaxy j3 2017 model died. The screen is just black, but the phone 'works', and by that I mean if I ring it the phone rings, notification sounds still happen but screen is still just black. I've charged it, let it die, tried all combos of reboots but nothing. Using an online guide, if I plug a USB keyboard in and tap my code followed by enter I hear the phone unlock (yes it has a pin screen lock). I then tried to plug into a laptop, but using Windows explorer, my phone is there but going into the phone, the folder is empty. I'm guessing this is because I can't enable file transfer etc on the phone. I'm at a loss wgag I can do. Samsung said I can take it to a shop to be fixed, but I have a few weeks of data and files I want to try and rescue first. Can anyone offer any advice please?

your screen is dead on your phone and your not going to be able to get the data from your phone. All you can do is send it in to samsung.
Ok, thank you. At least with this confirmed I can just get it fixed and hope a file recovery tool may help. Thanks again.

If you haven't taken this for repair yet then you can confirm a dead screen if you see nothing at all when restarting the device.
However it IS possible to rescue the data. There are various ways to do this with a blank screen. Obviously the easiest is via MTP. There is also Smartswitch.
Adb is also an option.
This would be trial and error until you hit the right spot to enable usb transfer.
