is there a way to recover some pictures inside my phone ? (2 phones actually, Galaxy A5 and A50)

-the screen is broken -i tried ADB, but device unauthorized


Solution

  • The only method I can think of is using some ADB magic. But if your screen is completely broken, there is no way of allowing a connection between your computer and the device. If by chance you have ever enabled debugging over USB in your phone, try to find the same computer you used when first enabling it, this can be your only chance. Depending on the Phone vendor additional methods can be available, but they usually involve downloading some app and, again, authorizing connection over Wi-Fi, USB or whatever. If you really need those files, the only way out might me fixing your screen.
