My buddy destroyed his screen. Can't bypass lock screen. Any way to get data off phone via USB or ADB?
[Q] Broken screen - transfer data from old phone
- Thread starter usafle
- Start date
Yes. Head over to recovery and use:
adb pull /sdcard/ D:\Nexus5_backup
adb pull /sdcard/ D:\Nexus5_backup
Forgot to add that he is not rooted nor does he have a custom recovery. That doesn't make a difference I'm assuming where ADB is concerned?
I don't know whether adb pull works on stock recovery as I haven't tried it on stock recovery. You will need to try that out.
However, if USB Debugging is enabled on that device, you can boot up the phone normally till the lockscreen and use adb pull. It will work as long as USB debugging is enabled from developer options.
No, he is just a 'regular' user. Not like us that constantly tinker / hack with our phones. He opened it up and used it. Never rooted or did anything else to it....
I see. Then most probably he didn't enable the debugging. In that case, you need to try adb pull in stock recovery or wait for anyone else to answer whether it works in stock or not.
