Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus Broken Screen Data Recovery

Hi guys. I am wondering if there is a Samsung Galaxy S8 broken screen data recovery that can extract data from Galaxy S8. My S8 was dropped and the screen is not responsive now. How to extract the data?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

U could try to see if u can plug in a mouse and monitor to type in ur passcode and backup the phone, however if u chose the encrypted option then it might not allow it to work and I'm not sure if u need to enable anything for it to recognize the mouse or monitor.

Other option is to fix the screen

In order to extract the data from a smartphone, you need to go into the phone and enable file transfers. Unfortunately, you need a working screen for this. In a pinch, you can try:

  1. Replace the screen with a new one and perform the data transfer
  2. Download the files from cloud storage (hopefully you had data sync turned on)
  3. Download a free file recovery software (like “Recuva” or “Ibeesoft") to your computer, attach your phone via USB, and try to have the recovery software search your phone for files to transfer, if it can.
  4. Contact a professional data recovery service like Secure Data Recovery or Gillware.

I’m sure I’ve said this before but that program simply doesn’t work for a blank screen. It wants the phone in USB mode (if I remember correctly) and you can’t do that if you can’t see the screen.

Replacing the screen was NOT on the list of things to do. It cost too much.

See above comment. If the screen is trashed, you can't see ANYTHING to be able to use touch (even if that was still working)

Unless you have those things saved to the cloud, you need to get into the system.

If you did have things backed up, it's way easier, just go to where you have your stuff saved and recover it. Google Photos and Drive work with iPhone, and you can get your contacts if you had them saved on some account as well.
