Situation

I've got a Samsung Galaxy Fame with a broken touch screen. The owner had it protected with a pattern, and as I am unable to make this pattern with a broken screen, I cannot mount the storage in order to backup/recover data.

Some information:

  • Power, volume and home button are still working
  • I can get into recovery and download mode
  • The phone is stock (No custom/unlocked bootloder and no CWM)
  • USB-debugging is (unfortunately) disabled

What I've tried:

  • Connecting a mouse using OTG
  • Connecting to the phone using ADB This did not work because I could not mount the sd card because I had no sudo permissions.
  • Using a magnet on the screen

I would like to refer to the following question that concerns the same problem but did not give me a solution: Android ADB Shell Recovery Mounting

This should help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395. Its a program that can mirror your phone to computer. There is also information to enable USB Debugging if you had that disabled.

Hope my answer helps!

  • This requires usb debugging to be enabled. The trick mentioned to enable that requires me to be root.

  • @Peter and why don't you root your device... Install CWM from fastboot...

  • @SuperThosmasLab Is that possible without usb debugging turned on?

  • No, not always. And have you already tried the trick? I don't think you'll need root because its from the recovery mode... @Peter
