So here my stupid problems with XZ.
The display and connection cables are completely broken (display replace dont work).
I have no root and disabled usb debugging.
The only way (with my limited know how) to get some life of my phone is with fastboot, boot it with volume up and usb cable.
I have no idea to backup some important data.
Is there a chance to get it?
Thanks for any solution-finding proposal.

My girlfriend dropped her phone and it works but you cannot see anything on the screen because its cracked. She has a passcode lock on it when it boots up and i have no idea how to get her pictures and videos off of it. If anyone can give me some ideas of how to do this that would be awesome. She has some important pictures on there that she woulld like back.
If touch works, you could try going through the movements to enter the passcode and hope it works.
If touch doesn't work, is the bootloader unlocked? If so, boot into recovery. If you use a custom recovery like TWRP, you should have ADB access and will be able to access files on the virtual /sdcard. I don't think you can get into ADB on stock recovery, but doesn't hurt to try.
If you can't get into ADB through recovery, was USB Debugging enabled on the phone? If so, you might be able to get the files through ADB that way.
I found this, maybe it will help:

You'll need ADB access to use it, however.
If this phone has never been hacked, rooted, and USB debugging never enabled, I think you would just have to replace the screen. It's actually pretty easy on these phones.
Yea she's not into this at all so it is bone stock and USB debugging is not enabled. Could I somehow get a USB OTG cable and hook a hdmi cable into to get the screen to show up on a tv or something? Wish the damn thing had removable memory.
Unfortunately, these phones don't have HDMI out.
It does, however, have USB OTG so you're onto something! Try plugging in a USB keyboard. I just tried setting a passcode and I can enter it using a keyboard.
Good thinking!

Yep, pretty sure your PC should recognize it. I think this will work. Good luck!
So I wanted to make some use of old Galaxy S1 that is not rooted, has broken touch/display and stock ROM, but I'm stuck. I'm able to turn it on/off, turn it in download mode, connect it on pc and transfer files. All I want is to control it with my PC via usb. I found some ways, but every required a usb debugging on on phone, and guess what, i dont have it turned on. So, my question is - Is there any way to turn on usb debugging on my phone(without buying anything, hdmi cable or god knows what)? Or do you maybe know the way to control your phone even with debugging turned off, or rooting your phone without debugging on and putting custom rom which would, hopefully, turn it on?
so it's not possible?
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 - 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.
I updated to android 11 and magically it no longer allows me to access the device via usb C cable.
It chrages, and fast charges just fine, but the phone never sees a data connection and the pop up to change to file access for internal memory never appears.
I've tried the debug menu, default USB configuration (and it does nothing).
I've also tried turning on USB debuggin, revoking USB debugging auth, and tethering acceleration, and every possible combination of all the settings.
The cables are good, and I use them on a cracked moto g stylus and a moto power. Needless to say I have multiple cables and I've tried all of them.
The stylus just does not ever ask if I want to switch to file access mode, it is like it never accepts a data connection of any kind.
I've also cleaned the port and air dried it.
Is there a way to fix this so I can access it's internal storage?
Where is the setting to pop up changing it into MTP mode?
My last resort will be a complete format and reset of device but I know this is just a simple setting hidden somewhere.
Any help is appreciated...
