Hello guys.
Need urgent help with Samsung Galaxy S5 backup.
Screen and digitizer dont work, also USB Debugging is not turned on.
I need to make SMS and contact backup to Xperia Z3.
I have backup of contacts.spb and messages.sme on my PC.
Options:
I tried with mouse trough OTG cable and I can unlock the phone (there is no pattern or PIN), but its to hard to navigate with nothing showing up on screen.
Micro to HDMI cable is option but i need mouse or keyboard to turn on USB debug.
I have Kies 3 backup of contacts and SMS from this phone but they are in proprietary Samsung formats
*.sme and *.spb, tryed to make recovery of this files to Samsung Grand Neo 2 wich I have but Kies 3 isn't compatible
with this phone and older Kies cant read Kies 3 backup :/
So the only option to recover backup is to have another working SGS5 or Note3 or some reader/editor of proprietary
Samsung formats.
I have very important data on this phone.
Can somebody help me with this?
Thank you all.

I have following situation:
- broken screen and touch is not working
- usb debugging is off
- password pattern lock combination when entering phone
I need to backup contacts and pictures from phone somehow and I don't know how.
When I connect mobile phone to computers with usb cable it only gives me zte usb drivers to install nothing more,after that I don't see my phone..
Is there any solution to extract contacts and pictures from my phone???
Is there any solution thru recovery mode to update/install something to give me option to backup everything(contacts/pictures) from phone ???
If someone could please help I would be grateful...Thanks
Okay, here's the situation. My girlfriend dropped her S5 and the screen cracked. At first you could see part of the screen, but overnight that stopped working and it's completely black now. The digitizer kind of works, I can unlock the phone but don't know where to go from there. All I'm trying to do is restore her apps and app data to her replacement S5.
I've tried the following:
A. Backed up the the broken screen S5 via both Smart Switch and Kies 3, but for whatever reason both programs do not allow the apps to be restored to the new S5. In one of those programs it mentioned apps need to be installed first before restoring, so I tried installing a couple of apps on the new phone, but still the app restore check box in both smart switch and Kies is greyed out.
B. I pushed sidesync to the broken phone and can see that it is installed from the app backups in both smart switch and kies, but I can't open it on the broken phone so I can't get the virtual screen to work.
C. USB debugging is NOT enabled on the broken phone. I tried blindly navigating but I'm not even sure if I'm getting anywhere.
D. Bought the Samsung USB to HDMI adapter cable. I can get it to work with the new S5, but don't get a signal when connecting it to the broken S5.
My approach so far is to try and get USB Debugging enabled. Then I could use one of the Android virtual screen programs download and run Helium to backup apps and app data, or try a 3rd party Android Transfer PC program (tried one but requires USB debugging). Here are my questions that hopefully someone can answer:
1. I read somewhere that you can enable USB debugging by flashing a custom kernel that has USB Debugging/ADB enabled. Would it be possible to modify a stock NK2 kernel so that it has USB debugging enabled and then I could then flash the modified NK2 kernel to the broken S5? It is recognized in Odin and I'm fairly sure I can get it into Download mode.
2. Would taking apart the broken S5 allow me to possibly fix/mend whatever is broken or disconnected and preventing the HDMI cable from working?
3. Is there some way to restore Apps and App data from the Kies 3 or Smart Switch backups to the new S5? It seems very strange to offer backups of Apps and data in in both programs, but not allow them to be restored to the same make and model replacement phone.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know, I'm willing to try anything. Thanks!
Notes:
If I had done any of the following I could have avoided this mess. (1) Turn on USB debugging (2) Run Samsung sidesync at least once on the phone before it broke, it seems to automatically start if you've gone past the intro screen once. (3) Backed up apps and data via Helium (her phone was not rooted).
I have S3 neo 9300I rooted but usb debugging is not enabled
My screen cracked and is there any way i can retrieve all the files from the internal memory.?
Please reply ASAP. I need to get the contacts and messages out of it
My brother also broke his screen and he managed to retrieve some data via his samsung account (you do of course have to use a touchwiz rom). I presume the display won't light up either? Does anything show up when you connect it to a computer? Aren't your contacts on your google account or sim card?

Well, if you're talking about files, and you have TWRP installed, just turn on your phone in recovery mode, connect a usb cable to your phone and your PC and SUCESS!! I think only TWRP has MTP function, so if you don't have TWRP I think you're pretty screwed.

You can get OTG USB Y cable Like this: http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Cable-Player-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00CXAC1ZW
COnnet mouse and power from wall charger and copy files/make backup of things from system itself to sdcard
Hello,
the display on my Galaxy S5 Neo got broken (dropped on the ground, the screen is black) and I need to recover my data, i.e. connect via ADB. The phone including touch is working. There is no screen lock, developer options are enabled, just no USB debugging I can connect a USB keyboard using an OTG cable.
Could somebody help me please, providing the exact key sequence or video to enable the USB debugging. My phone has the latest official firmware from Samsung installed (Android 6 ?).
Thanks a lot
