Help Broken screen

[Simon Poulsen]

Hallo! I broke my screen on my samsung phone and I can't see a thing. The screen is all black. I have some pictures on it, that I don't want to lose. When I plug the phone to my PC with USB, my PC can find the phone, but nothing on the phone...

My question: Is there any way I can control my phone from my PC, without doing anything on my phone?

Unless you had developer options and USB debugging enabled, there's not much you can do. If your PC can see the phone, does it let you browse your folders?

If your device has an HDMI port, you might be able to see/control the screen using this method:

You mentioned a Samsung phone...the above was used on/for an SG S4.

Cheers!

I have connected my phone and PC many times and never had this problem ?

If your phone is Rooted and got a custom recovery, just make a backup, (Nandroid) and use Nandroid Manager by H3R3T1C from play store, you can get like EVERYTHING loaded from it!

Shoot, even just Root and Online Nandroid from same Developer (Without custom recovery) can do this for ya but I understand if you can't even access screen. You camera pics will be somewhere in you Pictures folder of you phone internal memory
