Hi,
my S3 dropped down and the touch glas and the screen broked. The phone is still working I can take screenshots and see them on the sd card.
Im looking for a way to backup my app´s and their data like the way mybackup pro does. I connected the phone via usb but the adb wont recordnize it. For this reason I think the usb debugging is unabled.
Any way to backup my files? I though of something like controlling the phone from pc but any solution I found needs usb debugging.
Is there a alternative way or a way to enable usb debugging from the pc?
thanks a lot.

Is there a way to get into USB drive mode with a dead screen? Had a truck drive over my Vibrant, which completely pulverized the screen. The rest of the phone is still working fine, and I'd like to get my data off the internal drive. But since the screen doesn't work there's no way I can think of to activate USB drive mode. Any tricks to get this done?
I cannot remember which program it was, but there is one that you can use to control your phone. It gives the screen shot of your phone and lets you control the buttons and menu's with your mouse as though you were using your fingers on your phone. I believe you have to have USB debugging enabled though for it to work. You could use that to mount the phone to your pc. Or you could use ADB to get into it and copy everything off the internal sd.
download droid explorer and just plug it in.
Thanks, will give that a try tonight.
My friend dropped his phone and the screen its completely out. He got his phone replaced under warranty but he still has his broken phone with pictures still on it. It doesn't get recognized when I plug it in via USB because USB debugging is off or its set to charge only or something along those lines. Is there a way for me to turn it on or get the files I need? I thought about getting a mini hdmi to hdmi and hooking it into a TV so I can turn USB debugging on but I'd like to try first without spending any cash.
Any ideas?

You obviously already checked whether the pictures were not on his external SD card, right? If so: Mini-HDMI is indeed your best bet. Of the touch screen does not work (and you are desperate) you could try to borrow/buy the dock with USB. The RAZR would make a nice Android TV box
There is an Android remote control app on the Play store, but I don't know how you could install it. Instead of being an app that you run on an Android to control some other device (e.g. a Windows PC), this is to let some other device (usually, but not necessarily, a Windows PC) control what's on the Android.
The only way that I can think that you *might* get this installed is if a DEV in the Development forum might be able to suggest how you could put the APK on your phone's Micro SD Card *plus* the Android equivalent of AutoExex.bat on a PC such that it would execute a routine on next boot to install that APK, suppressing errors (so that you're not stuck with a "do you really want to install this ****? yes/no" dialog that you can't see. The install would not only have to install this APK, but also configure it. This is a huge long shot. I'm way out on a limb, basically making **** up.
Good luck.

EDIT/NEW: What if you cabled your phone via hdmi to a tv? Wouldn't that let you at least *see* what the phone is outputting? The digitizer might still work well enough to fight your way through an install of the above app?
Search for android screencast. It's a java app for the pc that duplicates the phone screen on the pc.

My LGOG has completely dead and nonfunctional touch screen, and it was left in charge only mode instead of something useful like MTP (and with no USB debugging on). As it stood I couldn't get any old files off of the phone, since I can't actually use the touchscreen (it otherwise functions perfectly fine, it can still receive texts and I can still see the screen, just not use it).
I figured the easiest option would just be using a mouse with an OTG cable to change the settings and then use something like Moborobo to grab the old files, but I just got the cable and I'm getting no function. Is there any known way to get OTG working? Preferably one that doesn't require me to be able to use the phone without it.
If not, does anyone have any other ideas that could help me recover the information on the internal storage (other than buying an entirely new Digitizer and replacing it?)?
If u have CWM Recovery, boot in and connect cable or use advanced/mound SD
Ever since a few days ago, my LG G5 became very unresponsive. I can only turn off my phone by taking out the battery (which is probably not good) and when I turn on my phone, it only stays responsive for about 10 seconds before I cannot do anything; I can't turn off the phone using the power button (nor hold it down for a hard power off), I can't turn up or down the volume, I can't touch my screen anywhere. At first I thought this might be a hardware problem, and it might still be, but when I turn on the phone it stays perfectly responsive for 10 seconds. No problem turning on and off the phone, volume works and I can touch the screen. Then the phone freezes. The screen is still on and working as notifications are popping up and the wifi and service bars are still going up and down. All I am trying to do is turn on file transfer to send all my photos and videos to my computer. My phone is cracked pretty badly at the top and I do get a static line through my phone but giving the fact that it works for the 10 seconds, I wasn't sure if it had to do anything with the screen and power button becoming unresponsive.
P.S. I am getting a new phone but I would really like to get the photos and videos off this phone. If there is a way to turn on file transfer without using the screen then please let me know too.
EDIT: I think that there are some spots on the screen that are ghost touching as the pull down menu seems to shake and the phone occasionally turns off on its own (double tapping same spot)
Hi, if you have TWRP installed (or USB debugging already enabled) you can use the ADB PULL command to retrieve the photos from the phone. You can also simply use the MTP transfer by just connecting the phone to the PC with the cable.
If you have an OTG USB adapter you can connect a mouse to the phone and use it instead of the touchscreen to do what you want.
Then, when you have retrieved you photos, you may try to factory reset the phone by booting in stock recovery (if you don't have TWRP) or wiping system partition and reinstalling the ROM (if you have TWRP), to check if the unresponsiveness is caused by the broken touchscreen or maybe by some virus.

So I did figure out a way to connect my phone to my computer by using Vysor. Because Charging only was enabled, I couldn't transfer my files. So when using Vysor I turned on File Transfer which then got the phone to be able to transfer files. Fast forward to today I remembered that I also need to save my contacts so I tried using Vysor again but now because the phone is on File Transfer only I can't use it. Do you know of a way to switch back to original settings?

Maybe the contacts are saved in Google Contacts, try logging into the website and see what shows up.
