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.

Dead Display, Need my Data
I have a non-rooted verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535). The display slowly started dying and is totally gone now. No illumination at all. I need to retrieve my data. However, my phone is locked with a PIN. Now what? Without being able to unlock the device I can't just plug it in to my PC and copy over the files. Surely I'm not the only one this has happened to. I don't plan on repairing it unless utterly necessary.
You may be able to use a mouse or keyboard via an OTG cable to enter the pin.
possibly, I have never used one with my device. Will it work the moment I plug it in? Even if I type in the PIN there's still the issue of having to pull down the notification bar and select USB media device to get it to communicate with the PC, otherwise it just mounts the garbage Verizon software.
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
Contacts should be on contacts.google.com
Hey,
some days ago, I dropped my phone so that the screen is broken (black) now.
The other functions work fine though, for example I can still connect the phone via USB to the PC and access to the files.
Nevertheless, I have some important files which can only be accessed via Private Mode. But in order to activate the Private Mode, I have to see the display (unless you know another way how to activate Private Mode?).
I think the best way for that would be Screen Mirroring on PC. Unfortunately, Samsung's SideSync does not recognize my phone although it's connected via USB. Probably I have to open SideSync on the phone as well but with a broken screen, this is difficult (Or do you have any ideas?)
I have also checked out other programs like MirrorGo, but this one needs USB debugging enabled on the phone. Again, that is not easy with a broken screen.
So do you have any ideas how I can either mirror the phone on a PC or enable the Private Mode in a different way? (Apart from replacing the whole display for 200€)
Thanks a lot for your help
in the same boat
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 have an Oneplus 7 which is broken. Screen is all black but i know the device is switching on. I even get calls when sim is inserted. Im badly in need of the data stored in the phone. I have tried the below options but doesn't seem to work. Need some expert advise.
Options i have tried:
1. I have a Galaxy S8 n tried a usb cable transfer using samsung switch but it fails as the oneplus is in Charge only mode when cable is connected.
2. Tried installing ADB n Vizor app. But adb devices is not showing my device n so does Vizor. However, device gets displayed in Device Manager as an MTP Portable device.
Would be really helpful if someone can suggest a solution to change the usb mode in my oneplus which only shows a black screen that can solve my prob. Or any other solution to help me access my data in some form.
Thanks
You can try doing this and enable file transfer from the drop down menu and cross your fingers.
