[Q] Getting info out of a broken phone

[johnd.the.cuban]

I have this captivate whose screen went completely kaput on me, and I don't have a clue how to access the internal storage blind. I have sensitive information that I had on it before the screen broke. Should I adb? Or try and mount it?

You could do either, hell one better, look on Google for a program that allows you to have an interface like apk explorer or I think thats what its called.. anyways I have a glide now so this phone is my girls and I just mod it when she gets bored and wants to try something new...

ADB is probably your best bet here.

ADB is probably your best bet here.

But right now, without the screen working at all, I don't have a way of turning on the usb debugging. I tried doing it blind, but I'm not even sure that the touch digitizer is even working either.

Is there a work around? Maybe like something I could do in download mode.

You can use adb commands through your pc, you won't need your phone's screen to force mount.

Another option would be to replace your screen.
