I’m trying to rescue data from an old Huawei Ascend P6 with a broken screen, is there a way to get access to the data and clone it, without screen interaction?

    find the storage module in the phone, hook it to a PC and extract its data

    I thought this would be one of the potential solutions, for it because the screen is just gone, and they’re scarce… But like you said they have to be really good

    I hope it’s not encrypted

    It runs a very outdated android, I’m not sure about the state of encryption in such devices 🤷‍♂️

      Came with Android 4.2, Android 6 was the first to ship storage encryption by default.

      So yes, just hook it up to a laptop and use the MTP connection?

        File explorer detects an empty drive, and asks me to insert a drive… Screen interaction is required with this one I guess
