Yes. Phone was encrypted and so was the sd. I tried everything like adb, tapping hoping I'd mount as usb, remote deployment of some type of remote software, hdmi output (I think at the time I spent money on a hub too) but nothing worked, this continued over months.
I decided it'd be cheaper and save time to just buy a new screen. I thought of doing it myself but decided against it because my photos were too valuable. Everything only cost me about £45.
Had a local guy fit the thing for me and in the end I also had a working phone. Moral of the story for me was to set up my Google services so they sync my photos.
Fun fact, oled screens aren't as expensive as I thought and some repair shops won't let you supply a screen either.
- dotancohen 4y agoAlternative moral: Write a bash script to adb backup your phone, and run it every month. I personally back up the photos, voice recorder, and data directory of a note taking app. My contacts and calendar are synced to Nextcloud via Davx5, and I use Ankidroid's inbuilt sync mechanism.
- yellow_lead 4y agoIs adb that reliable for you? I use adb for android development and I get random failures often.
- dotancohen 4y agoYes, very reliable. Sometimes I need to kill the ADB server on the desktop and very occasionally disable then reenable ADB on the device. But it's less likely to give me trouble than many other things we're used to breaking ))
