My brother has broken his G2's screen. Touch is working but there is barely anything visible, only some flickering lines. Phone is completely stock and supposedly running Lollipop. He might have enabled developer options but probably not USB Debugging as I can't connect via adb. Synchronization was not enabled. Replacing the screen is not worth the price and he's going to trash the phone.
He wants his data (contacts in particular) back. Is there a way?

Just dropped it and the phone is malfunction.
a. the screen is shatter and touch isn't work.
b. usb port doesn't seem to work either.
Main problem now is that I have lockscreen with PIN on, since touchscreen isn't working I can't access it to turn on On-Screen feature.
USB port doesn't work, I think I can use wireless but again, can't get pass the lockscreen.
I have tried remote Unlock from AVG app which I currently has it running on the phone but still cannot get pass the screen.
I want to copy a few important files over first then perform Factory Reset via Recovery.
Does anyway I can do that?
All feedback and thought welcomed.
Also, since I got this phone for 4 months, i believe warranty is over. Anyone know which reliable, good service that I can send my phone for the screen fix?
Thanks all
Since the usb doesn't work so I don't think ADB pull will help, plus I have to turn on the USB Debugging anyway, which I can't now.
Got it.
Case closed.
Long and short of it is a company replaced a shattered screen. Then, the new screen began to peel away and then the connection became so bad that the screen is not functional. I just get a blank screen. I need to rip all of that data off the old phone so I can back it up and put it on a new phone (courtesy of the company that replaced the screen).
Here's where it gets tricky. The USB connection mode is charge only. I need to set it to MTP, but can't because the screen has lost all functionality. Without MTP, neither Android File Transfer nor Smart switch can't connect to the phone. I think Sidesync would work, but I can't install it on my phone.
An MHL cable won't help because it mirrors what is on the screen, but I can't select anything....
Are there any tricks out there that can help me before I have to send the old phone back in?
Thanks in advance!
You'll have to try fixing it temporarily . youtube has some good info

You can try and take a phone with the same os. If you have 2 computers its best (maybe one laptop or something). Turn both the phones off and connect them both to the computers and turn them both on. Look at the one that you see his screen and press the same places on your phone..

I'm in the same boat, have you found a way?
Hey guys!
Dropped my phone. Screen is completely black. Charges fine. Fully charged now, notification light went from red to green.
Plug into PC, I hear the Windows USB mount sound, I see option to disconnect. In Device Manager, under Android Devices, Nexus 6p Adb Interface. In abd, no devices listed.
Device was rooted and 100% had debugging enabled, but since the screen went dark, a bunch of buttons were pressed and I have no idea what has happened as a result. If I had to guess.. if is in download, or recovery mode. I can't tell.
Any ideas on how I can regain access without spending money (haha, I know)? I read somewhere that the Nexus 6p doesn't have HMDI out. Is that true? So that wouldn't be an option? I just need to know if fixing the screen will fix the phone. It doesn't appear anything else is damaged, but how do I know for sure?
Thanks!
Hello,
my OP5 fell down a while ago and the screen turned black after a day or so. As far as I know repair service from One Plus kills the data, which would be unfortunately.
I believe USB debugging is enabled. If I connect it with my PC it doesn't show the device only the default setup.exe for the device. Usually I needed to unlock it in order to have access to the files.
I can not tell if the touchscreen is still working, since I can't turn of the alarm (at 5am...) with a swipe.
I forgot which OS. Probably cheeseburger.
Does anyone have a suggestion how to proceed?
Hello all together,
I have here the Samsung SM-J530F/DS of my father.
After the smartphone was dropped, the display no longer shows anything.
Is there any way to backup the data?
There is no screen lock set up, it would just ask for a pin when restarting (I have the pin).
There are no cloud backups and there is no SD card inserted.
If you can get it to connect to the PC.
If it boots and the touch screen still works, it's in the right usb mode and you can hit the connect popup. That's a lot of if's... if the mobo is undamaged you can try replacing the display.
Had he used a SD card as a data drive for critical data and a good case things be a lot easier.
Yeah, a non-dev user probably didn't have ADB enabled. That makes life more difficult.
If you do get ADB working you can use a screen grabber/poker desktop application.
My AdbGrab.exe (in the sig) will let you grab the screen and mouse click things.
It's slow, but the advantage is that it works on stock, unrooted devices without installing anything.
