Hi there, I’ve had a broken phone lying around for ages, only kept it as I know there are some pictures and files I wish I could gain access to again. I’ve tried a variety of methods gaining access to the files, but it doesn’t seem possible as I cannot actually use the screen to “allow usb transfer” etc… Is there any methods I might have missed or something that could help me retrieve these files?

It’s an Huawei Mate 10 Pro.

Any tips, tricks and recommendations are appreciated 🌻

    I never tried using an usb to hadmi dongle but I always assumed that unless you confirm sharing the screen from the phone itself then nothing would be shown. I doubt old android versions even allowed sharing the phone screen.

      I only did once a long time ago, so… I dunno if you need confirmation or something more than just pluggin in.
