I’m trying to rescue data from an old Huawei Ascend P6 with a broken screen, is there a way to get access to the data and clone it, without screen interaction?

I’m pretty sure, if all else fails, someone really good at electronics can find the storage module in the phone, hook it to a PC and extract its data. I hope it’s not encrypted, because in that case that has to be figured out as well.
However, I recommend making regular backups while a phone still works. I copy everything over to my PC via SFTP from time to time and sometimes I use that new phone app (in my case Smart Switch) to mirror everything to my backup phone.
I thought this would be one of the potential solutions, for it because the screen is just gone, and they’re scarce… But like you said they have to be really good
It runs a very outdated android, I’m not sure about the state of encryption in such devices 🤷♂️
Came with Android 4.2, Android 6 was the first to ship storage encryption by default.
So yes, just hook it up to a laptop and use the MTP connection?
File explorer detects an empty drive, and asks me to insert a drive… Screen interaction is required with this one I guess
In theory it should be hackable as hell.
