How to retrieve data if the LCD screen broke

first thanks a lot for all those good information, but lets make more interesting here
i have almost the same problem, but my LCD is gone too, then i can only hear the sound of my working phone, but my screen is not responding, AND my usb debugging is not active

i think the hdmi cable is good solution to see the screen, but is there any way to control the phone by usb ??of cores very important data to recovery on it.

thanks a lot

 

If the phone has USB host (almost all have, but you'll need an OTG cable), you can try an USB keyboard. I can't try it myself but perhaps someone here could confirm.

 

most newer android devices do, older motorolas do not support usb host mode out of the box, will need a host mode app to enable
and external usb power

 

update: just checked my DX2 and was able to connect a usb mouse, using a Y OTG cable and a wall charger, without a ush host app.
moving mouse wakes screen and can unlock screen
usb debugging does seem to be need to be checked though
power on DX2, connect usb device, connect usb power last
