You'd think they would allow you to just plug in your broken phone to a computer and transfer the files but that would be simple convenient and apparently that isn't what they were going for.
they used to buddy, its now a security thing, so that the phone has to allow it, save someone just plugging in your phone and taking files etc
I don't want someone to be able to find my phone and effortlessly transfer all my data onto their computer.
@@cwatson42785 They cant buddy. If there is a password, a pass code, or a pin, its always required. Remember this method is nothing more than changing the way your phone displays its screen to an external source, same with inputs, its another input method using a keyboard and mouse rather than your finger, all connected from the phone not to it. Connecting it to a computer however is very different in the way the connection treats data, you would still need to be able to unlock a phone in order to allow a usb transfer option to become active, as you get different levels of protections for this so that someone cannot, just get your phone and access your stuff :)
You can actually. Although they sure as hell don't make it straight forward. You know when you connect your phone to a computer, the phone asks what you want the computer to access and you have to select "have access to file" or something of the sort. Every single tome. But you can change that in the setting to always allow access when connecting to a computer via USB C. Go into the settings and set up that but it's not exactly easy to find on your own. You can see UA-cam videos about it. If you have a broken screen, use the same thing in this video to use the phone via the TV And a mouse to change the setting I mentioned, then you can connect it to your PC
It doesn't work. There are a multitude of videos advertising this method and this exact hub on Amazon. It's a con, just like the apps that advertise you can mirror your phone on a computer with a broken screen. If the phone is locked you can't access it no matter what you do. It's a pity UA-cam is so full of dishonesty and outright fraud.
bro even if this didn't work for me because my phone doesn't support type C to HDMI your video is the only one on UA-cam with a decent solution All videos are clickbait saying "just connect your phone to the computer and accept the access even though I know you can't see anything on screen"
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the positive comment, sorry it didnt work for your phone man. Which one do you have ?. I did make an updated video around this, but tbh if you dont have video out your probably looking at repair or recovery which will likely cost more than the phones worth
@@mrsteve2441 EXACTLY! As you say "repair or recovery which will likely cost more than the phones worth"
My phone screen went from partly showing my background picture to dots of red, green, blue several hours later. The day after it was more huge stains in blue and black and a couple days later it reduced to become completely black. It is most likely some internal damage as well, because the screen itself isn't exactly visible injured. It lights up green when charging, so it is enough battery, and it also vibrates when I use fingerprints.
I did not (and I still don't) have enough space on Google Foto to save it automatically and I was a dork for not checking that my SD / SanDisk were activated in the first place, but hey, one cannot know when a phone-crises might appear It always happen abruptly.
I have bought a new phone already though and luckily I managed to transfer contacts etc. through the help of Google, but yeah, I still lack the pictures. I could scream of frustration!!!!
Edit: I will look up your updated videos
mate it hurts even more when your dead phone DOES support UTC connections, but it needs to be manually turned on (via a non-functional touch screen) for every use. It's almost like they're saying "yeah you COULD fix this issue, but you'e not going to"
So glad you took the time to make this video!! Mum's phone took a plunge in the drink, I pulled it all apart and the touch screen pins were fried but the display still worked. Managed to get everything backed up to the cloud with the usb hub and mouse trick. Thanks heaps mate!
Aww that's class to hear that she was able to get all her stuff back. The power of backups are the way forward . Hope your mum's relieved that they were recovered
Omg I didn't see the superchat, honestly man thank you , you most certainly didn't have to, just hearing she got her stuff back is satisfaction enough for me 😁. But again thank you
Agreed, your average person wont do a proper backup either. Most professionals should use the 3-2-1 rule, but dont because of costs. So i think for most people the default google photos, or google drive or icloud for example is a great product for them as its quick easy and relatively affordable, the likely ness to loose data from one of those services is low.
What is the device called that connects to the computer
My phone is cracked and has black streak on it. Trying to download all photos. HELP!!! I got a new phone. Contacts are done.
This worked like a charm. the only thing I didn't realize is that you need to add the keyboard/mouse USB receiver to the adapter. Once I added the USB received it was straightforward from there.
glad it worked buddy. backup backup backup
So you plug the mouse and keyboard into the same adapter?
So it's USBC to HDMI OUT to a monitor, then plug keyboard and mouse into the adapter as well?
@@mrsteve2441 your accent is very strong so i dont understand exactly what you said...please tell me exactly what device that i need to get thank you
@@mialexeroom7521 for what part
@@mrsteve2441 you used some form of a doungle and mouse that you hooked up to the computer in order to retrieve the data from the broken phone...i have about 6 ancient android phones that i have data on that i would love to retrieve...so i need to know exactly what divice to get as to do the job...the exact name and models so that i can source the devices.
Great stuff, thanks for making this video!!! This made me realize that I have type C to HDMI somewhere and discovered that, even through my screen was blacked out, the touchscreen still works! Saved me an incredible amount of trouble transferring data.
Fantastic, im glad you got a good result from it
Same problem here but with pixel 5. Touch and everything works except for display. Can you elaborate on how you recovered data?
Does it work even if passcode set on mobile?
This method helped me save my job. I know it's just a tutorial but thank you soo much.
I'm glad it helped man, it saves pictures and invaluable moments of videos of.my son 😊
Do you know if any USB C adapter hub would work?
For anyone that this is relevant for: one possibility why this might not work for you is because your phone does not support transferring audio/video. For example, my broken Oneplus Nord is only USB 2.0, ergo it has no USB-C features and cannot transmit into the HDMI output, so I'll either have to give up on the data or pay for screen repairs. Anyways, this video is still very helpful. Thank you, mr. Steve!
I came to this video because my Nord is shattered too haha I do want the data but honestly I also want the phone back. it was the best.
But doesn't OnePlus Nord come with USB-C charger? So it won't work with USB-C to HDMI? Im using a OnePlus Nord AC2003 and have a broken screen where the device screen fell off and connector is broken.
@@abusulayman_ Yes, it comes with the charger, but the phone doesn't work come with USB-C features beyond charging. Feel free to test it out, but I am in the same situation as you, and I couldn't get it to work through this method, and I am 90% sure that's the reason
so micro usb--it's not going to work with that?
@@the_real_breeso what was your solution in the end?
Have a friend who has a black screen on her OP Nord and asking for help :D
Man, thank you very much for this ideea. I had no ideea that such adaptor exists and that this could work. Connected this to phone, pressed space on the wireless keyboard I also connected to the usbC adapter and voila, there was image on my HDMI TV! I saved this way everything that was inside the phone. THANKS AGAIN!
No problem im just glad you had a compatible phone that you were able to do it with. They are normally for laptops and macs etc, but with usb becoming a universal standard it supports alot of the protocols
Bro I was searching for that same solution thanks a lot and yes you just earned yourself a subscriber
Nice glad it helped
and what are you doing if the screen is completely dead but I can hear phone is working ( also acceptiong calls )
Sound man! Keeping that Celtic integrity alive
Why thank you. Newer version of this video helps troubleshooting as well ! ua-cam.com/video/wiCxJ0dAStg/v-deo.html&ab_channel=MrSteve
I have a Huawei p40pro that works, the screen works, but the touch doesn't, I bought that adapter, let's connect it to the PC, nothing, let's connect it to the tvnista... I don't know where the problem is, do I have to download some program to the PC?
The thing about not backing up data - in my experience people want to but simply do not know how and feel stupid to ask, so they let it be. You are always here for them anyway, and they do not realize how much work the recovery actually is...
100 percent. Its something that is second nature to some but never really taught to others, always a push or advert for cloud services but in most cases never an explanation for people less tech savvy. I had gone out of my way to make sure this wasnt the case for family, with all being on android devices were all on a shared family plan so i can make sure everything gets backed up. But yes as someone whos taken a device for file recovery before, it is both costly and not guarantied to work.
It really worked! I had a pattern screen lock which I was so stressed out that it would not work. I basically used my mouse to draw the pattern lock. thanks for sharing. saved my data!
Yeah you use the keyboard or mouse, im glad it worked tho, happy you got to keep your data
can I still get the data if the whole screen is damaged and the phone is not at all working?
That's my situation as well. Did you solve it?
Also, you can use a USB keyboard or mouse (i.e. touch broken but not display) to enter the key code.
Press space / drag up then type the code with keyboard/mouse or 1-9 and 0 number keys, then press enter.
Thanks for that tip, ill need to add it into this years video about it :)
YES I was thinking about buying a muti usbport to typeC connector BUT havent think of hdmi port, thanks for sharing with us! I wish you all the best!
Glad I could help!
Thanks to you I was able to restore years of data from my broken phone. Thank you very much mate!
Awesome, glad that the video was some help, remember to get something setup for backups like google one :)
Man this was awesome. I was so stressed a lot like the actors you had which did a good job. Thanks for the info
DUDE!!!!!! this is my exact problem, and thanks to your video, i was able to recover my phone data. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!
Love to hear that it helped. Remember, get google or some other form of backups on your mobile, your memories aren't worth losing :)
Massive thank you for this video. I went to two phone shops and beat buy and no one suggested this. I bought the piece (at best buy!) and it worked straight off.
love to hear that. I was well happy when i got it to work, was a good lession for my partner to learn to back stuff up as well. so worked out both wasy
It didnt work on my flip 3 phone. I cannot project thru hdmi
I asked with so many shops, they all can't do backups... I'm baffled because it seems so simple if this works. I'm ordering one now, I hope it works! Although internet says you need to enable HDMI alt mode on your phone first, so not sure. Fingers crossed!
@@DatingDilemmaBreakdown did it work? how do you connect mouse and keyboard to phone? does it just work when you plug it in? nothing ever is as easy as it seems..
@@ermirhalitaj5346 didn't work. No signal on the HDMI cable. Pocofone f2 pro. It's a bit old but I don't think it lacks the USB HDMI support
Cheers mate i smashed mine in a fit of rage after a bs school policy and got in trouble.Good hearing from a fellow scot
FREEDOM !!!!!. Hope the video helped, there is an updated one here which covers more in depth ua-cam.com/video/wiCxJ0dAStg/v-deo.html&ab_channel=MrSteve
You have honestly saved me so much, thank you so so so much I can’t explain
so glad it worked for you, super fun to not loose data
THANK YOU SOO MUCH Buddy, You have just SAVED ME From My STUPID SELF. Last night my Samsung S10 Just decided to To Crack the Screen By Overheating. It was NOT plugged into Mains or Laptop It was 4ft away And the screen just started to get Brighter and Brighter until BOOM Cracked/SHATTERED WHITE ONLY SCREEN. I have ALL my emails/Online Banking/Credit Cards [Times 7] Old /New Photos/ AND some evidence Photos My Lawyer needs. I have NOT slept a wink Thinking it was SUNDAY and Not able to go out and get what your showing, But now i can THANK YOU Buddy UK.
i suggest google one for future backups ;), im now paying a family back and talked all the fam into doing it after seeing how many pics etc my partner nearly lost due to hers being damaged. Some stuff just isnt replaceable. Im glad the video helped you. Good luck with the lawyer thing :)
dang, it seems like Pixel doesn't support video out through USB c. Bummer. Thanks for the video, though
@mateusz Did you find a way for pixel?
I'm having the same issue right now and they ask $150 for fixing the display
Thank you so much!! You saved me and I mean it, I haven't been able to work for 3 days cause I couldn't get to my authenticator on my broken phone and then I found this video. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
You're amazing, keep up with the great work! 🎉❤
Ps: if you have a Locked screen with a pin you can try by connecting a keyboard and type the password, press enter, then you might be good to go, that's what worked for me.
Hope it helps 😊
Super glad it worked for you, i mention the keyboard and mouse in the video but dont demonstrate it, corrected it in the newer release of the video. Im glad you got your authenticator and it helped !
How would i be able to type things like my PIN to unlock the screen if i dont have a keyboard to plug into the adaptor but the laptop´s keyboard itself instead?
Dropped and broke display screen on the cement. Spent 2 days looking for solutions to transfer the data, as I did not have some photos and videos get backed up. Tried many alternatives with fail, until I found your video. This happened last Thursday and just ordered the USB C Hub Adapter, today Saturday. Should be here Tuesday, so feeling hopeful this will be the key to the solution I have been looking for. Many many thanks for creating this video and I am sure it is indeed loads of help to folks like me. Again Thank you.
Fingers crossed. It won't work on every phone but if you get video out it's likely to work. Best of luck
Give me hopes cause i just lost all my photos last week .i tried everything. The screen is broken.i just found the video!its my last hope🤞
I bet u failed
Did this work?
can you describe me how you do it? i am confused about this video. I didn't understand
Cheers dude. Helped my a friend with this info. Thank you for making the video, cause I ran into the same issue with software cause all of them needed a phones "permission" to connect, which it cannot give cause the screen is broken
Glad it was some help, the newer video for it is better with a lot more information
Hi works for Samsung, but not for Huawei Phones.
He literally did this on a p30 pro
Hello. I dropped my samsung A13 phone in water and although it seemed to work ok after dried, it slowly died, and the screen got murky and lines all down it. So now I can't use the touch screen to log on. I am a complete tech numpty. It's another language! I understood you need to get the dongle and plug in the phone. But i have an integrated keyboard on my laptop and a wireless mouse. I think you told one commenter that you didnt connect to your pc. Just a keyboard and mouse connected to the dongle? If I dont have a separate keyboard and a USB mouse, does this mean I can't use this recovery method? I am sorry to ask what maybe a really stupid question. Hope you can advise or step by step idiot guide!!! Thankyou.
You won't be able to do this with integrated keyboard no, you will need an external one that's usb based
Thank you for this video,
Had the same problem, P30 with black unresponsive and cracked screen...
I tried to follow along your video but nothing appeared on the TV when I connected the phone through HDMI (phone was on and the mouse was connected to the HUB and working on the phone as I could feel some light vibrations when I moved the mouse)...I tried to connect other intact phones to the TV but again it didn't work...what could the problem be? The HUB? the TV settings? Phone settings?
Thank you for any suggestion
6 months nothing...jaysus wouldn't wanna go into battle with u as reserves. Same problem ish .. I canne get the fucking mouse to work on the t.v I bought exactly same adaptor but it reads the phone screen but cannot get mouse to be used 🦆
I had the same problem could not see it on the monitor screen when the p30 was plugged in. I figured it out eventually. You have to unlock the phone if you've got a password lock. If you've got a numbered password then it will be easier. Using the adapter will need the mouse and keyboard connected. But on the keyboard as the screen is still black you need to press space twice on your keyboard, type in your numbered password (took me ages to figure this out as you're basically following a process blind as the screen does not work), and press down key twice and then enter (enter to agree the wireless projection - only figured this out when using another p30 phone to see as a guideline). Once you've followed the sequence correctly should then display onto the monitor. Hope that didn't sound too confusing.
@@BLOODMOONSIRENS THAAAAAAANK YOU!!!!! This worked for my P30!
step 1: USB C HDMI out adapter + TV 1080 + usb keyboard + usb mouse (all plugged to the adapter)
black screen but i know its connected because my tv would show a no signal sign if i remove it also keyboard and mouse lights are on
step 2: push both power and volume down button until you feel the vibration, let go, it will restart on its own
step 3:then wait 5seconds ,space bar twice , numbered password , down key twice , Enter
Thats it!!!!! and now i can back up my phone and my precious pictures. THANKYOUSOMUCH!
@@BLOODMOONSIRENS This was the most useful comment here!!!
@@BLOODMOONSIRENS Thank you Sir! God bless!
this does not work with all the phone so i would recomend to tell specifications of phone also so people dont buy this things and they dont work out like for me... your phone needs to be mhl compatible in order this to work
Newer video on the channel which should answer all your questions. I mention in this video to check your phone to be compatible.
thank you so much man. Appreciate it ❤
np
Bro thank you very much. I actually already tried this method some time ago, but because of you I tried it again and this time it worked 👍
Glad to hear that, hope you got all your data back
I have this issue except my phone has a pattern as the lock screen... any help?
looking for an answer to this too
It says it can't be shipped to u.s., is there an alternative?
any usb c dock should be fine as long as the phone supports it. Usb c hub, make sure has hdmi out, and some usb ports and your sorted bud, can get cheaper ones, dearer ones, up to yourself
@@mrsteve2441 thank you
Dude mine isn't responding at all.. followed this process . Pls advice ?
Same. Screen is totally broken and phone won't even turn on at all. Now what?
i bought a dongle, that also, looked like that, 2 usb ports, a hdmi and some micro sd. but my phone doesnt put the screen on my pc screen or my tv, the usb ports work, but it just doesnt show the phone screen.
Same thing happened to me.
@@armwrestlinginthe6ix damn.
I have sent my phone away to a repair show now, hoping they can fix it, the company does get mostly good reviews but for example, someone sent their phone there, to get a screen protecter on it, but for some reason they fully reset the phone deleting everything on it.
So its a little sketchy for me sending it but i hope they can fix it and not fuck it up
@@Sly_Fella got quoted 140 Canadian for the screen repair, but I forgot to ask if they wipe the phone also. Ill try to go into a mall kiosk and see if one of the phone businesses can repair it on the spot infront of my face for me, so I can assure them not to wipe the phone when they do it.
some phones may not support video out over usb c, you would be best to check the version to see if its supported
I did the same thing your wife did, my screen broke and it wasn't until i transfered my info to my new phone that I realized nothing was getting backed up.....all of my photos etc are just trapped on my phone. I have been watching all these youtube videos and honestly yours is the only one I can relate to. I went to staples today in search of a usb-c otg adapter but i apparently didnt get the right one because this one is doing nothing and doesn't have the hdmi output on it. I am going to try and find the right one tomorrow and I am hoping to be able to pull up my screen information. I have a wireless mouse but I don't have a wireless keyboard does that matter?
did it work?
I am utterly and completely jealous at you guys in the comment section that managed to save your pictures etc. 🙈I can imagine your relief! ❤
Unfortunately didn't work for me.. Do you think it might be because the screen is broken but active? (I don't see almost anything but it's like the pressure of the glass is pushing onto the touch system if that makes sense)
if the phone turns on, and it has video out as an option then its worth a punt. worst case u get a cheap usb c dongle, and you didnt waste a tone to try and fix it
@@mrsteve2441 Wait, our phone can be protected with the "pattern" and as long as it supports video output over USB C it should work? IM asking for Galaxy A70 and what about "DisplayPort Alt Mode", Samsung DeX etc?
@@samfkt if you have a samsung you can try dex, i dont have one nor have ever used it, but even if a phone has a pattern you should be able to unlock with a mouse, if not there is usually a fallback so there would normally be a second method such as pin etc. Like when you reboot your phone and finger print dont work until you put in the pin or password for the device. Good luck

My phone has a pattern lock. I connected a mouse and tried drawing the pattern by dragging. The issue is that my pattern goes over two dots twice, but when dragging with the mouse it only recognizes when I go over the dots the first time, so I'm unable to complete my pattern. Any ideas if there's a way I can make the phone register multiple passes on the same dot?

I just got it in the mail today and just tried it on my huawei m10 pro. It doesn't come up for me. I tested it on my samsung s22 and my screen came up on immediately, i have tried for a while now but it just doesn't work. Do you have any tips or other methods??
If thats the mate series it should work, they had a desktop mode on those models, i a have a newer video but not sure its gonna be any use, do you know if debug mode has ever been enabled on it ?, or if its been connected to your pc before and the trust option ticked ? . ua-cam.com/video/wiCxJ0dAStg/v-deo.html
@mrsteve2441 No that shouldn't be a problem. I looked at the newer video and I tested to plug in my sim and had my dad called me. It called and on the black screen I tried to answer it and It worked, so I could still talk and it seems to be working fine except for the black screen ofc. And when I hold in the power button and turn it of, my background flashes for a sec. So I don't understand, the screen is still working but at the same time not. Is it worth replacing?
great little video, as this is exactly what happened to my partner. She has a Samsung Z Flip 3 (folding screen), not ever backed up (argh!!) and smashed the screen, 2 months left on her contract. Repair quoted for the flip screen is £300..! I tried with a Lenovo USB-C/HDMI/USB-B adaptor on my TV, PC monitor and laptop, but it doesn't seem to work. I've also used a Selore &S Global adaptor too without any joy. What screen did you "hook it up" to? And how did you hookup your keyboard and mouse. That part is not clear from the video. The narration is a bit too quick too... thanks
This is the old video newer one one the channel 2023 version is much better. Basically buy the usb c hub, and it goes as follows. Phone>hub and the you plug your input and out out devices into the hub so keyboard & mouse > hub and lastly hub hdmi > monitor or TV (or usb hdmi capture card is using on a pc or laptop). I don't know if the flip 3 is compatible for video out, worth a Google and checking on gsm arena Reddit or Samsung's manual for the phone.
From what I can tell, this won't work on Xiaomi or Realme. Another channel saying the usbc in those makes generally don't support HDMI out.
should have bought a crappy chinese brand. sorry buddy
Does work on oppo a15
My phone shows that gray screen with the clock and a lock.
I can't get past that, my phone has a pattern lock.
normally you just use the keyboard, as in your usb one
Steve I have the same problem, screen is not totally dead, but I cant remove screen lock. I remembe the code, but cant type it. Can I remove the lock code with the arrangement shown in the video. In principle, the phone screen should be another screen that you can use with computer and mouse.
Thats pretty much the jist buddy, should allow you to see and use the phone as if the screen wasnt dead.
Nice but you kind-of blew past the connecting. I tried it on both a working (Samsung A71) and non working (Samsung Z3 Flip) phone and could not get ANY video out. not sure why as you SEEMED to make it simple but maybe I did something wrong? Used a Inland dongle as you had. Nothing.
Try the updated video buddy, might help you more, i go into more detail, how to actually connect it by showing an example, and some trouble shooting, this wont work on all phones. ua-cam.com/video/wiCxJ0dAStg/v-deo.html&ab_channel=MrSteve
How is this the only usefull video on the topic on the entire platform? Congrats man! I do have one question thoe, my friend allready has a module (i dont know the official terminology) similar to the one you used on the video, but its jack isnt for android, instead its for a macbook. Do you by any chance know, could i plug my phone into one of the usb ports on the side using a usbc cable and still have this method work?
Should check out the newer video on my channel for it, contains alot more detail. Usb C dongles tend to be compatible with loads, the same one i use int he video is the one i use with my laptop. Try it :), see how you get on and let me know :)
Does it work for pixel 6a?
need to google that, i assume not, google always pushed the cast options so that they could sell chrome casts, so its likely that it has no output option from the usb c
Awesome idea. Gonna try this on an old phone that I never threw away. It's loaded with pics.
Hope it works out, check the new video on this before trying some more tips there
Everyone tring to get me to buy apps and you with this simple solution that WORKED!!!! Thanks you so much Mr sexy glasses
Awesome im super glad it worked, nothing worse than loosing stuff on your phone. Remember to get google backups or an alternative enabled going forward :)
@@mrsteve2441 you bet sir
Yeah ur so smart u would tell us to “just hook it up” and it would work 💀
Thank you. I am so smart. I explained it in the video, but since its not as easy for people not familiar with the tech i made a separate video thats updated, and shows me physically explaining and connecting it. You can find the video on the channel. which you can find linked below.
ua-cam.com/video/wiCxJ0dAStg/v-deo.html&ab_channel=MrSteve
Can I just use a standard see plug and USB to plug into my computer? What is so special about the set-up that you have you don't really explain that very well
Explained in this updated video, made because of questions like this . Long short, no if you use a normal usb your phone is treated as basically a flash drive in a pc, but you need to click the prompt on the phone to accept that. which you cant if your screens gubbed. This method just lets you have your phone screen on a tv or monitor, you can do it on a pc, but you need a usb capture card, which is mentioned in the upgraded video

thank you very much that was very helpful for me and frankly i did not think of that option to access my broken phone :)
Was a last ditch effort from me, couldn't believe she didn't have stuff backed up, i work in tech :)
PLEASE HELP: I have Huawei p30 with a broken screen, I followed all the steps tried blindly typing passcode etc but can't get passed black/grey locked screen. What can I do differently to make this work?
i was the same buddy, took me a good few tries to get it working, what i would do is confirm that they keyboard and mouse your using have fresh batteries, and they work on another deivice first, then retry on the phone, its just trial and error unfortunaly i didnt think id ever get mine, when i did thats why i made the video .Keep trying
@@mrsteve2441 thank you so much for your reply. I have dedicated hours trying and retrying this to no avail. I have also tried multiple phones and the passcode worked first time every time I did notice that when I tried my other Huawei (spare phone) once I entered the passcode I needed to allow video out by physically clicking the phone but how can I do this on the broken black screen phone?
older or less expensive USB C phones can sometimes use USB C 2.0 male to USB 3.0 female or greater adapter to convert the video out signal.
Thanks Jeff, hope that's the case in this instance
Hi there, can you please explain more how to use these male and female usb c thing plz :(
What if the mobile password was a pattern? Would it still be possible?
I have a damaged old mobile that has my daughters baby photos I would love to get back.
The battery is long dead but that can be replaced from another obsolete mobile. Would love to get the pictures back
same issue, except my Samsung flip is a 4-digit code and can't open because the screen is almost 100% blacked out... following
Try clicking the numbers over and over on the keyboard
For newer coming this only work if your stupid phone support MHL. I have watched a ton of things like this and always said buy this USB type-c to HDMI thing and you can review your screen to tv or monitor but NOOOOO it does not work it just keeps saying no connection. So basically your phone is dead
if your phone doesnt support MHL then yeah unfortunaly you would probably need to go the route of a screen repair in that instance
So I got the USB-C adapter and I hooked up my phone to it along with the HDMI cable, but nothing is happening. What am I missing?
Did you check if the phone supports output ?, it could be more damaged than you think if it does, could be a few things, the newer release of this video goes into more detail as well as trouble shooting
And another video titled "How to access a phone with a broken touch function" masking as "How to access a phone with a broken screen"
Attempted this, and you were right about the keyboard helping me log in. Sadly, I don't think my phone is compatible with video out, so it's a dead end for me. 😞
That sucks buddy, could always get the phone repaired depending on cost, of if you have home or gadget insurance you could claim that instead. I made an updated video but not sure it will help with no vide out ua-cam.com/video/wiCxJ0dAStg/v-deo.html
MISTRZ - Thank you from Poland
welcome from scotland :)
Didnt work for me do not have a monitor just a laptop tried all possible connection but nothing can you show how to connect everything from phone to laptop?
laptop hdmi is only out not in so need a monitor or tv with hdmi in i think
I am going through a bad experience with Tmobile. My phone was defective from the manufacturer. Where the inside of the screen started with a vertical bright line, then another black line in the middle that started to bleed that covered most of the screen. They sent me a replacement to their store. The representative was not knowledgeable about this situation, so I lost very important notes with passwords and messages from work. I maybe has talked to 10 Tmobile representatives, even Samsung, and they were not able to get my info back because it was not backup. I would like to who make the device that you have in this video that Tmobile and Samsung dont know about. It is affecting me and hurting me that I no longer have access to my personal and business very important informations.
Sounds like they replaced your phone so your files sound to sadly be gone, i would have thought however they would have done most things in their power to get your files. So im sorry if they did not, but it stands as a lesson to have backups and a cloud backup service on your phone going forward so your files are safe just incase the new phone ever suffers the same fate as the last
Any thoughts on Vysor? I will pick up that adapter tomorrow but I also saw Vysor being suggested in lieu of getting the adapter
Vysor is cool, but it does require you to have had your phone connected to your pc before in usb debug mode and trusted the signature, if you havent it wont work sadly. So have then have at it, should work and mirror your phone screen, cant mind if vysor lets you control it however, i think its just a mirror.
@@mrsteve2441 I realized my Moto G power doesn't even have usb c to HDMI capability so this wasn't something my phone could even do. I didn't know this until my brother suggested looking at the specs to see if that was the problem
yeah, this is my older video your on, i have a 2023 version which covers alot more in depth about what to check etc, but yeah that can be an issue, i would if your willing to take a gander, since you cant really make it worse, if pick up a cheap screen, ali express for a moto g must be only about 20 bucks, could give changing it a whirl, watch a few tutorials, you might even end up with it as a spare phone at the end of it
Thank You. You don't know how helpful this is. 💜
Oh i do, it saved a lot of early stages phots of my child from my partners phone. You are welcome.
¿Can you control the cell phone from the PC? I thought this method only showed the image of the cell phone but did not take control
Correct. You need a keyboard and mouse as described in the video
Thanks for the video! Sadly, when I connected to the TV all it shows is a blank screen. It's a Huawei P30 so very similar to the one you used on the video (I know the phone is on/charged, the screen is just more or less black). When I moved the mouse, while connected to the screen as you demonstrated, phone reacts with haptic feedback. Any chance you might have further tips for this situation?
Mine was similar, some keyboards or phones are odd with the button combo when getting to the lock screen, and at the point i was prompted it went blank for a second, but i would be clicking the mouse, dragging up and down, hitting every button on the keyboard, try clicking the lock button a few times. Is the phone defo working ?, like could you put a sim in it and give it a call or something to see it it reacts, like lights, or beeping etc ?
@@mrsteve2441 Yes, it is defo working, I was watching a UA-cam video when I broke it and the audio kept on playing! :D Yes, I tested it and it does ring when called.
@@la_kaki Hmm odd the phone does support it, can you try the adapter on another device to rule out faulty device
My screen just shows the time and a lock under it, and then it just bounces around my screen never showing a change in screen but my phone (broken) reacts. I just can't see what the mouse is doing or where it's at. Was hoping I could find an answer but it seems like finger print and patterns are hard to work with
for me too@@HEALMIC2024
Wish this would work for me, but probably wouldn't.
I just shattered my Samsung tablet pretty bad. Separated the surface screen from whatever lighting screen looking thing is in the middle, and seperated it from the back.
It's currently flashing on and off. **sigh** 😒
Might work. Look up the tablet and check if it has video out from the port. Flashing could just be because of the damage, falsly looking like the device is turning on and off when infact its just the screen, certianly seen that before.
hey man, if i did this same method would i be able to then transfer the files to my computer instead of backing up google drive. i onl want the pictures off it and planned to put them on a flash drive stick
Eh no. Well not in the same manner anyway, what you could do is use one of the usb ports to put a flash drive in. You can do it to a pc yes, but you would need to have a network share in place on your network, have a file explorer that could access it , then move the files, which would be alot more screwing about. Doable tho
its always good to back up your phone data esp if the lcd is broken or damaged. but, not needed. the lcd is separated from the internal storage, rom, processor. your data is safe there. all you need is a new lcd replacement. i changed the broken lcd of my huawei nova 5t before with just some basic tools. just be very gentle esp on removing the flex wires on the battery AND the flex wire that connects the lcd to the processor. be very careful not to damage it. once youre done, you can have your phone again with a new lcd!!! your data will still be there. so, theres no need for you to buy yourself a new phone unless you want to. yes thank me later. welcome. 😊
Thanks for that buddy. Whilst the likes of you and myself are probably more than happy to tackle a screen replacement (done a good few now), for alot of people its the cost, my partner for example in this video, it was a p30, and the cost of a new amoled screen was close to 100 quid, even from aliexpress, she only had a few payments left on her contract before her upgrade so replacing the screen would be costly for it to only be used for a few months, this method gives people who are less techy, or cant afford to replace the screen another method to get the data, it wont work for all phones or scenarios but i appreciate your offer of knowlege. If i get a smashed up phone in future to do a screen repair on, ill do a video to show that as an option as well :), thanks my frienfd
This won't work if you forgot your swipe code to unlock then, right? You still had to access the settings screen?
Correct, still need to know the details to get into the phone. Updated video here ua-cam.com/video/wiCxJ0dAStg/v-deo.html
Thanks thats a great way of finding the info on a broken screen.
Glad to help
Thanks so much for posting this video, I have the exact same phone as your partner and got into a similar incident recently. I usually backup my files and photos into my google account but there were some important things that I missed, so I'm really grateful that I saw your video. I'll try this method and see if it works for me. Cheers!
good luck i hope you can get your stuff back
I feel like there is something missing here, does the mouse have to go into the hub for it to pop up? You make it seem like it will coke right up
Normally it comes right up, there is a newer video on the channel, titled 2023 version, its a better video, with more content, and a better description of how to perform this.
Thank you bro, just placed an order. Fingers crossed.
Its funny, you spent about an hour to find the solution, I spent an hour to land here lol!
Thanks mate.
hope it works for you
Hey man, glad u created this vid for us. Im having the same issue, my phone stop working. The screen heavily damage. Cant turn the screen on but felt vibration and shows some light indicator. Doing that method, do you think it will work even the screen is off?
i imagine as long as it does video out over usb c then yeah it should work my friend
@@mrsteve2441 thanks bro
so u just need and USB HDMI adapter???
Kind of, more like a usb dock / hub, check teh updated video ua-cam.com/video/wiCxJ0dAStg/v-deo.html
i have p30 aswell didnt work for me monitor turns on and signal but just blank screen :(
my phone have password.. how can i enter my password after connected my phone in my monitor?
cause you need to connect a keyboard and mouse as mentioned in the video (not shown but explained). then use that to type it in
Thanks I'm in the same boat. My phone fell in the river last week and I need stuff that is on it that is not backed up. I'm in the U.S. so I'm looking to get a similar device since your link goes to a sold out item. Can you please tell me if there is anything special about the hub that I need to consider before buying other than having hdmi port as well as usb?
Not really, just make sure it's usb c hub with hdmi out you should be good
i get to the lock screnn and im slamming the mouse nad keyboard and nothing is happening how can i fix this?
Right when you connect all of these things together (USB Hub, Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, HDMI etc.), Does your phone screen just automatically show up on the monitor? Upon plugging everything with another
Just shows up buddy as if plugging anything into a TV, have to press you power button obiously, If the phone is locked and on standby then nothing will show until you hit the wake button
@@mrsteve2441 OK, so my phone has water damage. The screen works, but the touch does not. Therefore, I cannot unlock it. Does this mean this will not work since I can't use the screen to put in my PIN or fingerprint?
I ordered the EXACT same adapter, and it isn't working 😕 😐 😑 Do I need a specific HDMI cable?
Id check a few things for trouble shooting. 1. what model of phone do you have, i would go to gsmarena and check that the phone actually supports Video out via the USB c port, most do some dont, that could be your problem. 2. That adapter should work with hdmi 1.4 and hdmi 2. so if you have another cable usually there is writing on the cable if you have a look it will usually tell you the revision. 3. Last thing i would check if the display out, so like a monitor or a tv, make sure its on the correct HDMI etc, correct refresh rate for the phone (found on gsmarena normally)
Slick way of doing it, but if you're going to wait for a package why not just get the screen replace it?
Whilst id agree, and what i done after the video (as it took a month for the screen to arrive), 90 percent of people wont take a crack at that, whilst plug and play is is close to plugging in a charger as you can get, so likely more will try and ultimately get some of there stuff back
True enough, Well met, People are lazy anymore.@@mrsteve2441
As you said, many do not backup their phones. I would, but then I wonder who else would have access to that info, not that my info is shady or anything like that. I just recently bought another Blue View 2 with Verizon support. Unfortunately, my previous phone (also a Blue View 2, but a tad larger) fell to the floor in the bathroom which ruined the screen. It is slow and I can view a little bit, but not much. My new phone is a type C connector, but the old one is that trapezoid shaped style. Is that B or micro? I have no idea. Anyway, I think that I was able to download the transfer wizard to the damaged phone via my Asus Cromebook. Unfortunately, I cannot get my new phone to sync up with the old phone.
Hello 👋 there....
You have connected the HDMI cable on TV or on your computer 🖥️ ?
Ordered one right now, let's see how it does. My Huawei just met the wall and screen quitted.
Best of luck, i ended up doing a screen repair myself for the first time with the one shown in the video. It got used as a webcam for a while. Great quality cameras
@@mrsteve2441 Seems like graphic is gone, connecting it doesn't do anything. Can't type any code in or anything. Screen remains black.
Hold on. USB c connects to adaptor. How do you get the screen to show on the monitor? ow does the phone connect to the pc. why dont you show that?
ua-cam.com/video/wiCxJ0dAStg/v-deo.html Updated video shows it better, its a usb c hub with hdmi out
The description of this product cited that it’s for Mac computers , will it also work for hooking them up to a PC ?
These devices are normally for laptops and macs etc, but because usb c is the standard they normally support all the same protocols as long as the phone manufacturers include them, most do. Lots dont. A quick google will confirm if your model will or wont.
@@mrsteve2441 good! One is sitting out in my mailbox waiting to me to go grab. Can’t wait to try it
Hi, I follwed your guide afetr buying the adapter hub plugged it all in but my pc is not recognizing the hub via the hdmi port how can i rectify this
Im confused. The hub goes to the phone, the hdmi from the hub goes to a monitor, not a pc.
My phone got water under the screen and is now completely blank. The motherboard is still working because I can hear the notifications for messages, etc. Would this method work with a Samsung Galaxy A20e?
unfortunately not your phone does not support video output from the usb port on the device. Fixing the screen might be your only option to get stuff off it unless its backed up on cloud
I tried this, but unfortunately my computer doesn't even show it at all when plugged in with the adapter. I tried with my brand new cell phone and didn't work either.
This is a rather old video now, a 2023 version was made which covers alot more + trouble shooting, my money is on the phones you have attempted to use either dont have a video out function, possibly does not support the output of the screen its attached to, or possibly does not support the adaptor your using. There are more reasons this method may or may not work, but all dependant on the phone having video out, being compatible with the adaptor and with the screen your trying to use.
