My Mum has handed me a Christmas tech problem I’m not sure how to solve, so I am throwing myself on the mercies of the Fediverse to see if anyone here has any ideas.
She has a working Samsung J7 with a dead screen (the digitiser works), that she wants files from. It’s not backed up anywhere (via either Google or Samsung), ADB isn’t enabled, HDMI out doesn’t seem to work (have already tried on two external monitors).
What can we use to grab the files from the phone without installing or approving anything from the device itself, or get access to the screen so we can see what we’re doing?
Is there a way I can clone the thing to emulate it locally?
