[solved] Recover Data: Touchscreen doesn't respond, fastboot only, Stock Android One

[dimmu2k]

Hey gals and guys,

my girlfriend dropped her Xiaomi A2 lite and no the touchscreen doesn't respond. The phone has the stock Android One and I can only access fastboot.

 fastboot devices

recognizes the phone.

The recovery is the stock recovery.

adb devices

won't recognize the phone and gives me an empty line as output

I also can't access the phone via usb with my filebrowser. If I try, the phone makes a "bing"-sound and the filebrowser gives me:

unable to open MTP device

I am using archlinux and I also have a windows device available.

Is there any chance on getting pictures etc from the phone?
Any suggestions besides getting a replacement for the touchscreen?

Thank you so much.

Connecting via USB probably needs you to click something.

I'm guessing developer mode is not enabled...

If you've got a micro USB OTG cable, you could plug a mouse in.

If you boot TWRP (fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-dees-troy.img) you should be able to get adb and usb transfers working. Don't need to install it, just boot it. Not sure if that works without unlocked bootloader.

This did the trick.

Thank you
