i was wondering if there's a way to connect my S7 (Tmobile version) to my PC and do some backups from within some apps and get data out of it by using the PC monitor and mouse to navigate the phone screen? i know i can go into file system and whatnot, but is it possible to replicate the phone screen on the PC? thanks a lot for any help
I don't really understad the question... What do you need, to mirror the phone screen on the PC and use its periferics or make a backup of your phone apps?

i have a shattered screen on the S7. the phone itself works - it turns on, it gets audible notifications, etc.. the only thing not working is the screen. i took it to 2 shops and they tried putting new screen on the phone but could not get the new screen to work. so i think there's some sort of short in the electronics from motherboard to screen. ideally, i would like to somehow get the screen working so i can do a backup to cloud of all my contacts, messages, media, whatsapp conversations, etc. but if i can't get the screen working then perhaps i could somehow connect to PC and get what i can from the files. i don't know how to get it to connect to PC at this point because the phone doesn't get recognized on the PC when i connect.

does this require the app to be installed on the device somehow, because i wouldn't be able to do it without a screen present.

I think running the program on your pc will install the app automatically via ADB. No need to interact with the phone

My friend desparately needs to extract the SMS log from his razr maxx. Unfortunately, he dropped it and the display is completely broken. The phone is unrooted and USB debugging is not enabled. The phone seems to be functional other than the display - the softtouch buttons light up and when plugged in over USB, it is recognized. Is there any method by which I might extract the SMS data for him? Keep in mind that with a broken display, I can't enable debugging or install anything on the phone itself.
I suspect the answer is "no", but I figured I'd check before he has to go through the process of getting a court order to get the logs from verizon.

Unfortunately you need root to do anything that would help. But it appears that the LCD is broken, maybe you could get it replaced?

I have the same problem, but my razr is rooted. Also my phone is locked with the pattern. Can I use the usb to control my phone with my laptop? The cracked screen wont let me enter my pattern. I just need to access the phone and backup the internal memory.
Thanks

If USB-Debugging is enabled on your phone, you might be able to connect from a computer via ADB.
If Debugging is disabled, I don't think you will be able to access the phone via the computer.
There is a lot of tutorials on how to install ADB on your computer if you haven't done yet. Try it to see if you get access.
I have adb installed and bugging is enabled. i can connect to the device, but when I try to do an adb backup it says to say yes to the prompt on the phone. Problem is that I cant use my phone cause of the screen. Is my only option to dock it with a keyboard and mouse? Is there a way to remove the lock pattern through adb??
Update... Here's what I did.
I ran adb pull /mnt/sdcard but that didnt pull my dcim folder. There were two dcim folders. One on the internal sd and one on the external sd.
What's the best way to pull everything off the phone??
When I try to back up it says this...
C:\users\admin>adb backup -all
Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation.
My display is broken and I detached it (attachment)
Can I make a backup, or access my photos and messages on the phone without the Display via adb or something else?
edit: I'm using encryption on the phone.

depends on your setup. Is the touch still working?
If it's encrypted, you'll need to be booted into android not recovery. It also depends if you have password / pin etc

there is a PIN.
The touch doesn't work ... the display doesn't work - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2942714&d=1411126285

I think you're screwed you cannot do video out and Mouse at the same time.
You can use a USB otg cable and connect a mouse.
Is ur display/lcd broken? Meaning u cant see the screen at all. If u have pictures setup to sync via drop box or google photos then u can use screen shot to see where your pointer is enough to get the screen unlocked. Then connect via computer and copy over the sdcard. Course I don't know if screen shot will work with encryption if the phone is locked.
Yes. The Display was totally broken .
Anyway I change the display. And now is working great just like new,
problem solved
Hi all. I'm having this problem of recovering data from my GT-S6802 phone.I had my phone in my pocket while playing and it so happened that once I fell down with my phone directly hitting the ground,my phone's display had gone totally white. I'm unable to see any display.I want to take my personal data from mobile such as contacts,messages,pictures etc. Phone is able to be switched on. I tried using a screen control app for pc which I found on another thread for seeing phone screen on pc.But the problem is that it needs usb debugging to be on in order to run which isn't possible.Is there any way by which usb debugging might be switched on without going to settings and that too in gts6802 model. Or is there any other way to recover all the contacts and messages without using phone screen and no need for debugging?Hoping for help

Unless you haven't backed up your data on stuff's like google drive, nop you need USB debugging enabled to do anything for you

Where I live the cost of replacement is nearly the same for a new phone,what better excuse to get a new phone
But the phone as it is ,he needs USB debugging enabled to recover data

Have you tried using adb to pull your files?
When you say your screen is broken, do you mean it doesn't display and touch isn't working? Or is screen not displaying but touch is working?
If you're unsure, try seeing if you can tell whether touch is doing what it is supposed to be doing but just can't see it. Devices in that state can still be worked with to pull data by finding and looking at screenshots of what you'd be selecting and using the screenshots to guide you where to touch to get to where you can connect to PC and transfer.

Alright, so I just recently broke my phone so that my screen is completely black and won't respond to any touch. I have quite a few photos that I am trying to recover and transfer to my laptop, but can't do most obvious ways because of said screen damage. I had a friend suggest ADB but have no clue how to use it. Anyone have any ideas?
There are solutions, but they are not free
You can use a data recovery tool to install on your PC and access your phone through it. However, most of these tools cost.
Do NOT use Dr Fone or similar tools, they just wreck the OS
If you had lockscreen security enabled on the phone you would need some way to unlock it before copying via USB worked
If they're that important, get the screen fixed
Smart Switch might be able to make a backup but it's not very good
