Get data off damaged iPhone without iTunes sync or WiFi or cell?
I water-damaged my iPhone 4s.
Net result is that the phone powers up normally (mostly) when connected to a wall charger. I can see my old home screen, pictures, etc.
When connected to a computer for USB-charging, it shuts down soon after the Apple logo pops up.
So connecting to a computer does not work. Unless there is a way to wall-charge and USB-sync at the same time? Or a powered USB port maybe?
WiFi does not work. No Bluetooth either. Both settings sliders are greyed out.

Apparently you cannot do an iCloud backup over mobile data, so that is out as well.
Just called Sprint... cannot activate the phone without either syncing or with WiFi. So out of luck for the cell connection too?
So, the question is, is there any way for me to do an iCloud backup of this iPhone?
Is there a way for me to manually back up things like pictures without WiFi or iTunes sync or the cellular connection?
Is this a good question?
