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?

    Can you see what’s on the screen or is the screen display broken along with the digitizer?

    No the screen is broken like totally gone, it glitches and it’s 95% shattered, it only lights on and the phone doesn’t even vibrat to indicate “something”

    It’s been a long time since I’ve used USB OTG

    Oh, so… I guess that’s why… yeah… Like I said, Android will ask you : what you wanna do ? And you have to select ( transfer files ) otherwise it won’t give you access to it’s local storage…

      Edit: not sure if you use USB to the PC and OTG at the same time.

      It’s possible to hit the “transfer files” button with keyboard and mouse. The popup will likely be in focus to navigate/select with the keyboard. You could try running an Android simulator with your Android OS version and screen dimensions side by side and work through it that way. It’d take some trial and error but not impossible.
