Hello,
I dropped my Galaxy J3 2017 and now the screen is dead. It is not broken, but black.
I have been trying for a week extract my data (whatsapp messages, photos, work related files) but unfortunately, all the methods I found involve having USB debugging enabled (which is not in my case) :crying: :crying:
I tried FoneLab, PhoneRescue, and even SideSync but all these tools either require USB debugging enabled or, some interaction with phone.
I know that the phone is on and working because when I call it, it rings.
So, is there any chances I can get back my data?
I would really appreciate your help.
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Sandra

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 !
Facing similar issue with S6 when trying remote debugging
Hi @jerrybell , Could you please provide some more details on the fix for S6? I am also facing the similar issue when trying to connect the mobile device to Chrome. 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!
Hey guys and gals, so my brother has broken his S7, the LCD and touch are gone, the phone still turns on and it can connect through usb no problem for backing up music and photos, but he needs his contacts, sms and call logs, something usually done with superbackup or similar apps, but obviously they aren't available,
I've tried the official Samsung apps like smart-switch, but they require me to click yes to a pop up on the screen which I obviously cant do, my idea was to use a USB OTG cable with a usb hub, plug in a mouse and use a home made USB A to USB A cable to connect it to the pc at the same time and click randomly to hopefully hit yes, but frankly that sounds so stupid and doesn't seem likely to work (but I will try it if I have no other option)
my next idea was to use one of the many data recovery apps, however despite what almost every page states, none of them support the S7, just the S6 and lower and a few of the tab and note devices, so at this point im out of ideas, the phone doesnt have Root or usb debugging enabled so no hopes of ADB or anything,
any ideas here?
Thanks guys!
Use SydeSync or app like visor (Chrome add-on) to cast your phone screen to PC.
If you needed to install these apps to your mobile phone, you can install them via google play store on PC.
When you connect your mobile phone to internet, it will automatically be installed to your mobile phone.
Then you can cast your screen to your PC.
Sorry, I did not read the last sentence you wrote "No USB Debugging enabled".
Sorry...
Seen this asked quite a few times, doesn't seem like many solutions, basically if it's deadly important, fix the screen

Hi all,
A friend of my handed me his old Galaxy S6 with a broken screen. Like every typical user he had no cloud sync or back-up of his data. Normally I would tell them these lessons are hard-learned but in this case it's about important data and media of some projects in Africa he volunteered at some years ago.
This phone is a worst-case scenario. The screen is dead without backlight, the home button has been broken for some time and USB-Debugging is turned off. First thing I tried was connecting a USB-HDMI cable and OTG cable to see if we can unlock it with a conventional mouse, but sadly HDMI support was discontinued from the Galaxy S4. (Why!?)
I dismounted the phone and used an USB-Jig to force it into download mode. When connected to the computer both the MTP device and Samsung USB modem are visible. That tells me the phone still boots normally..
Connecting trough ADB did nothing, "no devices/emulators found". I also tried some commercial tools like FoneLab Android data recovery and some of the many (spyware-bundled) forks to no avail. Some detect the MTP device but off-couse need USB-Debugging to be enabled what seems to be impossible without a working screen.
Odin recognizes the phone but off course flashing the firmware will erase all data on the phone.
Replacement screens for this model are hard to get at and crazy expensive these days. Any other things I can try without risking data-loss?
Any tips are greatly appreciated!
Hi I am struggling to get data off my old galaxy S9, I have the 2 phones connected via USB but cannot authorise the old phone to transfer data, the screen is FUBAR and as such cannot press" allow" I think that presently the USB mode seems to be charging only, can anyone help? thanks
Use ABD and it comes with the the android SDK from google. But it requires a couple of your phones internal software switches to be set in order to access your phone via the USB interface. If you have not already set these switches before the screen got broken you may be out of luck.
Hi - wondering if anyone out there can think of a solutions to this...
So, my wife cracked her phone screen (Huawai P20) and bought a cheap phone to use short term while we worked out a replacement (Alcatel 1). When setting up the temporary phone, not all of the data from her P20 was install/copied, mainly because there's not enough storage space to hold it all.
Some of the data left on the P20 is really important (downloaded documents/files and pevious whatsapp history), so I was going to hook it up to a PC and grab all the data from it, but the biggest problem is she can't remember the unlock pattern. I know developer mode/USB debugging is not turned on, so I can't even get a PC/ADB to recognise it, plus I've had to connect it to a mouse and monitor (via HDMI/USB adapter) to even view/control the unlock screen.
I'm pretty sure that without the pattern we have little or no options, but was wondering if anyone knew the answers to the following:
Is there any way to unlock the phone using the old PIN that was set (she's confident she knows this)?
Is there a way to unlock using the finger print sensor (even though is says 'pattern required due to restart')
Should ADB list it as a device even though USB debigging is turned off and the phone is screen locked (currently does not list it, but I thought you could PIN unlock via ADB)
Does anyone know any other tools/options for accessiing the files on the phone.
Thanks is advance for any help!
Basically you can access Android's filesystem in ADB-mode or in MTP-mode: the latter should always be possible.
Even if USB Debuging is turned off and the screen is locked? Any tips on how to get the PC to see the device in MTP mode?
Thanks!
My wifey has a Huawei Y7 with HiSuite installed on Windows PC and HDB enabled on phone. As soon as she connects PC with phone over USB, confirms the verification code, phone gets mounted on PC as external USB-drive and thus visible in MTP-mode.
My guess is you have to take your Huawei to authorized service center and let them try to fix it.
Ah Ok. HiSuite asks for USB Debugging to be enabled first, which i can't do because it's locked. Thanks for you help anayway.
