[Q] Water damange but need data on internal memory

[whma11]

Hi everyone,

I dropped my phone into water and local repair store asked 200 dollar to fix it. I really do not want to pay that much to recovery my phone, so I can get my pictures, text message, etc back. Is that a way to read the internal memory on the phone? I can turn on the phone but it has blue screen. Any suggest?

Thanks,

The first thing you need to check is if your computer will recognize the phone. If it does, you should be able to (as the previous poster suggested) use ADB to pull the information from your device (if you aren't familiar with ADB, it's part of the Android SDK).

If you have adb, try typing "adb pull /mnt/sdcard". That should take everything that's on your internal sd card and put it in the same directory that ADB is installed in.

Thank you for all replies, and I hope the phone will be recognized by the PC. Then, I can try to use command to pull it. Thanks again for your help !!!
