Android phone-smashed screen -data recovery from phone; possible?

[Moltke]

[member=149]newtusmaximus[/member] I don't know if you've already solved this but have you tried using adb? To install it, open a terminal and type

Code:

sudo apt-get install adb

once installed, connect your device via usb to your pc and in a terminal type

Code:

adb devices

and you'll see the device listed. Then type

Code:

adb shell

now you can use some unix commands. Type

Code:

ls

to list the contents on the device. Once you see the location of the files/data you want to save type

Code:

adb pull

followed by the full path of the dir containing the data within the phone and the location in your pc where you want it to save it i.e

Code:

adb pull /sdcard/my_data /home/newtusmaximus/

You can type

Code:

adb --help

to get a list of commands you can use with adb. I use it to install/reinstall android,

NOTE: It should be noted that for this to work, usb debugging must be enabled in the android device, otherwise you should start it in download or recovery mode, then connect it to the pc and follow the instructions.

Hope this helps!
