HELP! Recover Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Data - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

The phone suffered water damage and it's all green, I believe the digitizer is now broken for the whole 80% of the bottom screen or so because I can't enter a password or anything. I can pull down the quick menu and turn on the light, but after swiping from the middle of the screen to top then pressing the flashlight location, it still toggles.
What I need most are the contacts, though some messages, images, and app data would be nice.
The phone SHOULD have been in developer mode, but a program I used to try mirroring the screen said to enable it. No root.
Apps I've tried:
Smart Switch
ApowerMirror
SideSync
Vysor
FonePaw
Also tried looking into simply using HDMI/ MHL, looks like S7 is the one phone from Samsung that doesn't support it. There might be some wires that allow it but I haven't found any.
It's on 8.0 Oreo, don't know the exact version.
Any help is appreciated!

Hi, you can do one trick with OEM otg adapter which you got on samsung package wich looks like this:
https://www.shopsmartuk.com/wp-cont...E-UG930-GH96-09728A-www.shopsmartuk.com-3.jpg
and with usb mouse.
So what you are trying here is to blind enable usb debugging option. If you can see something on the screen it is good because with the mouse you can control your device.
Example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70-W240rcPc
If you are not sure where is your settings you can search on the internet for your device and version where it is located. Goof luck.

Thanks for this! I've tried using the mouse to swipe up so the phone would unlock so I could just connect the phone to the PC and navigate through screenshots.
I've also unlocked the phone through Samsung's cloud website, can't see if it worked and backup takes forever and does nothing for some reason. No luck, and thanks for the quick reply btw.

Still looking for some suggestions

First,it's necessary to check if your lost data has been overwritten.If not.find a Samsung data recovery to recover it,such as Mobi Kin Doctor.

Thanks for the program, tried it but I can't get past the authorization with no control over the screen. I'm pretty sure all the data is in tact though

Anything I can do with ADB?

That's the one i was thinking of

I just tried it.. it is awesome....
to bad it's not free any more
This program will be much easier to use, if the PDA's screen is large..
using this program on a small screen like the magician's will be useless IMHO
Should be fairly easy to re write. Will try to investigate later!

PPC Tablet
You might want to try this, it's a commercial product, and as such it serves the purpose well.

It has several predifined layout :a drawing tablet, touchpad, numeric pad, presentation controller, windows media controller. You can even create your own layout or modify existing one.

Yep, you should give it a try if you're bored one day or another. The trial works OK... I like the idea of using the XDA as a universal remote for the laptopo via the design mode but as a pure Graphical tablet the thing sucks. And aside from this I have trouble getting decent connections. Direct connections over ActiveSync (USB or Bluetooth) for some reason are the most dodgy. And if they work they are hopelessly sluggigh - i.e. a few pixels movement a second. If you get to work on this, lemme know. I might have the odd idea for a feature.

[Plug] NumBattery remaining battery capacity figures (accurate to 1%)

NumBattery allows the default Windows Mobile cell battery 4 show icon (left) retirement, which can show a percentage figure (right) with an accuracy of up to 1% of the battery at all times concerned about the consumption of friends should be useful.
【Installation】: the installation of cell phone to NumBattery.cab memory, restart the phone to see results; if there is no change, uninstall, install a QVGA.cab install, restart your phone.

very cool.
thanks
very nice! I've been looking for this for a while. I'd rather have an independent icon on my taskbar than one replacing the start icon, so this is a great replacement for ArielBattery. Thanks!
Great idea, unfortunately does not work on my HTC Elfin.
Can someone host this somewhere other than ziddu? I can't connect from work (not sure if the site is down or blocked).

Thank you, good sir
awesome! love it.
It doesn't show the number in my P535. The icon is actually changed.
Not working on Samsung i760. Tried both cabs, the numbattery didn't do anything, the QVGA one changed the icon to a solid white one, but no numbers at all. Is there a configuration file to change or something?
Also, it wiped out my background picture of my today screen. Had to set it back up...
does not seem to work on my verizon touch pro
Did not work on my Treo 750 with WM6.0
after installing cab and restarting, I had a second battery icon (that looked like your original from the picture above, vertical lines), but no numbers.
Thanks anyway...
lol... working on polaris... thankfully
Does not work on Samsung Epix (i907).
Why does the thread opener has been banned?
If i´m right, i think he had "stolen" the battery-icon-gauge from another forum-member, and posted it her as his creation.

Great it worked in my TyTn II. Thanks for your effort bro. I am loving it.

Droid explorer for windows.... very cool! Have you seen it? :)

I found this while faffing around finding tools for themes...

download droid explorer from http://de.codeplex.com/ it gives full root access to your streak like using root explorer. Seems to only be for windows 32 & 64bit but they may have other versions. It also has options to reboot, flash recovery, backup, install (with icons etc..), desktop sms, logcat console, screencast (live screenshot view, im watching myself type on streak from desktop! Which has options for call, home, infact everything.... it fully emulates my streak allowing full control via desktop..very cool), has a colour coded console shell, package signer, sqlite explorer.... list is enless and i havent even looked through tools yet! Has anyone else tried using it?
I saw this on the other post and downloaded it. It rocks. The screencast isn't remarkably fast, but it is the best around.
Thanks
You do have to be rooted, but that isn't a big deal.
Nice find tina thanks will have a play with this
Yeah you need to be rooted but most of the functions are only useful for rooted phones so its fair enough, i enitially posted it in response to a thread where someone needed to flash without fastboot, he was struggling so when I stumbled on this I thought it was a perfect solution... then I realised how cool it is and started a thread to share with everyone
hmmm cud prove useful....nice..
Nice find tina!!!
Though I'd wish the guys that made the screencast app would continue working on it as I've been using the app for a while now and I've posted a few comments/issues about how the screen appears upside down and that all they need to do is allow the user to continue rotating the image around as is just visually upside down and not physically (as in the actual touch area). So for example even though the notification bar appears along the bottom of the screen, you still need to click and drag down from the top, so if the devs just allowed the user to cycle through all 4 orientations then this would be awesome. As well as making the ' and left key work.
As for the rest of the program, I love that I don't have to mount/unmount the SD card no more
Been using that with my hd2 for a while now. You can even sideload apps with it. I had to learn that when messing with my daughters captivate

Chrome Browser on Nexus Player

Can someone with Nexus Player please confirm if you were able to sideload Chrome Browser to your Nexus Player?
You don't even need to sideload it, you can straight up install it from the play.google.com site. I'm certain they don't have a 'leanback' interface for the browser yet so you're going to need a keyboard/mouse to actually use it.

Do you think a google TV remote could work for this? The Sony one has a keyboard/ mouse.

Maybe, I don't have any experience with them. Are they just standard bluetooth? I've been using a Logitech K400 with their usb adapter in an OTG cable.

Did anybode had issues with Chrome? When I first loaded it, the "accept terms and conditions" screen was all black. After a lot of back and forth, I was finally able to "blindly" hit the accept button. Now, from time to time, the keyboard screen just flashes briefly and then dissapears. I cannot type anything, not even from the remote app on my phone

I had the same issue. I couldn't get past the black screen, so I installed Dolphin Browser instead. Dolphin Browser works well if you're looking for an internet browser with plenty of features such as a download manager and user agent switcher. Similar to chrome, a keyboard/mouse are necessary.

Broken screen need a little help(just a screenshot really.)

anyone mind grabbing me a screenshot of the pin unlock screen(number combination) usually i use fingerprint but when the device restarts i need to enter a pin and i just broke my screen so I can't see the numbers. A screenshot of the unlock screen with the numbers up would be sooooo helpful. new phones on the way but i need to unlock this one so i can make calls by saying ok google.

Thanks man, printed it out to scale with my screen but didn't work sadly. Pretty sure the touchscreen is gone as well as the display. Sucks but whatever I use my phone too much anyway I can take a break for a few days until my replacement arrives. Have a good one.
Thanks again.

Hello,
Is USB debugging enabled?

No luck. I'm not sure if usb debugging is enabled(pretty sure i enabled it...) and i'm not about to go screwing around in fastboot and recovery without being able to see what's happening. Thanks for your help though i'll just stick it out till Tuesday when the new phone should arrive.
