Help Alternate Way to Activate USB Mode

[pentagonalgarden]

I'm in a bit of a predicament. My Samsung Rugby Pro recently broke, and I wanted to get old pictures off of it. Let me define "broke": the screen is black and cracked, but the phone is still on (I can tell by lights on the three pushable buttons on the bottom of the phone and booting audio). I've attempted to plug the phone into the computer to get files off of the phone, but then I realized I would have to activate USB mode from the phone itself. Is there any way around this at all? Thank you.

MTP should mount automatically unless you're still on ICS. As an alternative, flash TWRP or CWM and use adb to pull everything from the various folders (2.8+ TWRP has MTP support too)
