So I managed to break the screen on my Razr and I was wondering if theres any way to retrieve any info off of it now? It has a screen lock code on it, if that matters.

Have you tried connecting it via HDMI to a TV or external monitor? Seems like that should work. You will need to pull down the screen and select the HDMI which might be a little tricky, but trial and error should get it. This simulator should give you some idea of what you're doing while "flying blind." Once you're projecting on screen you should be good to go.

Or if you get lucky enough to plug the phone into a computer and have it already in USB Storage Device mode you computer will see the SD card an Internal Storage.

Could try the "folded paper trick!", remember, Sally? :biggrin:
