my s4 lcd cracked on its own, no dropping, no misuse, and i didnt have a chance to back up my files/contacts. I recently switched to android after five years with iphone. With the iphone i could simply plug into my pc and transfer files to itunes with no real knowledge. I figured in this day and age and with the level of tech on the galaxy s4 I could do the same.
my problem is i have 8 years of contacts and a few months of photos, videos, etc. I do not wish to lose. If I had to prioritize, the contacts are definitely paramount as I have them no other place. I know, i know, stupid for assuming recovery would be as simple as plugging into my pc.
My problem lies in that I had a lockcode on my phone, did NOT enable developers options prior to it crashing, and have ZERO experience with "crm flashing, and mounting, etc, etc" and really have no clue what they even are. I can follow instructions and learn pretty quickly, but cant write code or anything like that if that is what is required.
Can anyone provide me with any help or suggestions? I am even willing to take it somewhere to have it recovered if thats an option. I really am desperate for help here and would appreciate anything. Thanks. YOu can message me here or email at [email protected].
Thank you all.
BTw, i downloaded an app called drfone which came up in a google search under "recover dead/broken s4 data:". Well, i dont know who actually took the time to write that post out but it has detailed instructions on how to recover the data from a dead or broken phone, but contradicts itself at every turn since you need access to the touchscreen on the phone itself. That poster must of left their logic button unchecked that day.

Hey everyone. My cousin owns a Zenfone 5 and accidentally reset her phone today and all of the photos locally stored were lost. Me being a techie told her not to use her phone and I started to search for good software. Do any of you know any reliable,secure and quality ones that won't give my cousin's computer a virus?:good::good::good:
Unfortunately not
I have a bit of an issue. My little brother passed away a couple days ago at 17 years old. He had 2 galaxy s4. One of them was unlocked and I was able to get the pictures of him off of it but the other is encrypted with a password. I obviously don't know it but I really want to get the pics off of it so I really don't want to do a factory reset. Any help would be awesome.
By "encrypted" you mean the phone is password protected or the data is actually encrypted?
Hi all!!, please help me with this!, Im on a vacation trip outside my country and I dont know what to do!!.
My phone isnt working properly anymore when taking photos, every photo I take comes out like this ( oi68.tinypic .com/ifx3eb.jpg ), before this, photos were stored normally in the camera album and without any problems, but now they go to a new one called "CoverCamera" and without showing any image, just like you can see in the picture.
this is the first time that happens to me, my phone is a samsung galaxy s5, with a "s-view flip cover".
I have no clue and im desperate, I hope theres a solution for this problem. Thanks in advance for your time and attention.
I am not able to unlock the phone. The pin is 6 digits and has not changed in 3 years.
I need the photos off the phone much appreciated
