Recovering Files from RAZR with 100% broken screen

[mclax36]

I have a broken screen on my razr. Can you still get into the phone if you have a security pin on the phone? I bought a lapdock and I haven't received it yet. I was wondering if you just plug it in that it will automatically hook up to the phone or do you have to type the pin in first and then connect it? Obviously with my screen busted I cannot type the pin in. Any help?

Lapdock

I have a broken screen on my razr. Can you still get into the phone if you have a security pin on the phone? I bought a lapdock and I haven't received it yet. I was wondering if you just plug it in that it will automatically hook up to the phone or do you have to type the pin in first and then connect it? Obviously with my screen busted I cannot type the pin in. Any help?

When you plug your phone into the lapdock for the first time it might take a minute to activate the webtop profile for the dock, but once it does, you'll be able to use the lapdock keyboard to enter in your pin or password. If you use the face recognition security, you might be screwed, because the camera is disabled in webtop mode. I'm not sure if there is a workaround like using a usb webcam plugged into the dock. Let's hope you don't have to figure that out.

Ok great...I just have a pin and not face recognition. I have my new insurance phone already. I just dont feel comfortable sending in back with all my personal info on it. I think I get the lapdock today. Im pretty excited for it. Thanks for the help!

That's what i was doing...counting clicks. I have it all mapped out now.

I too have a dead screen and want to just wipe my phone before I send back to Asurion, they replace the screen and get access to everything loaded on the phone. I am PRETTY SURE I have reset all the passwords on the accounts for apps that spend money but can't be sure...

You counted clicks? can you share your click map? Maybe provide a video of the button reset method somewhere?

Your help much appreciated..

If you happen to be in the San Diego area I'd be glad to let you use my lapdock to get your files.

I am in SD area and have same problem...any chance could meet up and try to save my data?

Yeah, when you take a picture it is stored on the internal memory, not the sdcard. You have to move them to your sdcard if that is where you want to store them. But that doesn't help now. This is a hard one. When you turn your phone on you say you see a green light blinking. Is that light the led or a light on the screen. Also, when you power off the phone and power it back on does it appear to be booting?

Glass shattered so bad screen guard held; but silver layer pristine...

The screen is completely gone... Phone boots fine; but with out touchscreen can not turn on USB so PC can recognize. Also, can't turn it off so have to let it drain if even turn it on. Tried connecting with HDMI: but again, with out touchscreen...pretty much screwed as far as I can tell.

What are you talking about? I have a Razr Maxx, the touchscreen has been smashed. Nothing was backed up...I didn't delete anything...I didn't want the screen shattered so while accidents have happened and I am frustrated: NOTHING YOU SAID HELPS ME GET THE FILES STORED ON THE INTERNAL SD MEMORY SOLDERED TO THE MOTHERBOARD OF PHONE....

So, care to tell me how to get to those files...? {If not, please do not bother to reply. That sends me an email that gives me hope, ok}

If bluetooth is turned on for the Razr, you might be able to connect to a laptop and pull files/pics that way...just a shot in the dark...good luck.

Hey everyone,

So, my first RAZR suffered an accidental blunt force trauma injury back in January. After some spectacularly colorful death throes, the screen eventually went 100% black. The phone was still sensitive to touch in a couple select areas, but generally speaking the screen is 100% broken, dark, and unresponsive.

The question is, I have a lot of good photos that I took with it, even as it was dying. Any suggestions or tips for how I might get it recognized by my laptop to extract the files?

[Edit to add:]

Also, as an aside, I had the phone replaced through my insurance but they didn't even ask me to send the broken hardware in. So, I have this broken handset, but I know they're hard to repair. Anyone else had a similar case?

You can use MobiKin Doctor for Android to recover data from broken android phone.It is an easy-to-use software. You can have a try. Google it!
