Screen Broken - Cant Use - How do I export data? - ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers

What an amazing mobile the ROG 2 is.
No complaints really. Though I did drop it and the screen is broken so I am sending it off for a repair (if possible).
I cant use the screen at all, and they told me that the data needs to be wiped before its sent (or they will wipe it anyway).
Any idea how to get data off it, like contacts etc without using the screen?
Thank you all.

Your contacts should sync to your Google account. Go to contacts.google.com to verify they have already synced.

Is there any known software without using the screen?

Use an otg dongle and connect a mouse to the phone, you should be able to click like touch.

But the screen is broken so I cant see anything on the screen either apart from random colours at time

Try a USB c hub and connect a monitor and mouse?

I think I am right in assuming that i need to give permission on my ROG to allow screen mirroring on a monitor. But of course I cant do that as I dont have access to the screen.
Am I right or is there a workaround?
Thanks

If you have allowed adb before, you can use adb pull command to copy files to a computer.
Changing the screen wont require data reset, I dont know why they are insisting on wiping the data!
you can also try this and see if it works: connect the phone to a pc and when the phone asks for permission, have a mouse connected to the phone and click the place that the allow button is most probably is.(it's on bottom right corner about a centimeter up and left) if you're set to English that is.
but you have to be able to unlock the screen before that somehow. maybe the fingerprint still works?
And my last option would be to get the screen replacement yourself and do it yourself if the data really matters to you. getting the broken screen off the phone shouldnt be much of problem because it's already broken so what could go wrong right?
and you will just have to apply the new screen with care and proper glue that you can get from a phone shop.

XDA to act as modem

hey guys,
I have got the XDA Stella (also known as Kaiser) and i herd you can make this phone act as a modem. basically i got an archos (media tablet with internet) which i want to be able to use the internet on my archos through the phone. only problem is i have no idea how to do this or what to get?? can anyone advise please. it would be through wireless or i can do through USB, but was wondering how to do it.
thanks in advance
Shane
Your trying to use your phone as a computer modem right.
If so what you do is this. link computer to phone via usb.
mine then ask me if i want to internet share i click that then click done. if you dont get that option try going to start/programs/connections/internet sharing
that should do what you need.

Erm he wants to share the connection with an Archos, not with a PC. That won't work.
To the OP: USB most likely won't work, as the Archos certainly won't recognise the Kaiser. On the PC it requires Activesync and its drivers to be installed to work. We never know, you can try running internet sharing onto USB and plug it into the Archos, and see...
Otherwise you'd have to use WMWifiRouter or the manual hack to share the connection over Wifi. Beware that sucks battery down like hell on the Kaiser, don't expect more than 2 hours on a full battery.
Whats the Wifirouter you mean just on a normal computer or is it software to buy for the kaiser, and the manual hack am i likely to get caught by my service provider??
there is a option to adhoc to a computer, i was wondering if there is a way to change that to the archos?
also whats the manual hack or where can i find it??
Hey man all you have to do is use search, this topic has been discussed for at least a year now..
wmWiFirouter is a program that turns your phone into a wifi access point. Again, search has all of that info for you plus tons of other great knowledge.

On the WMWifirouter site there should be a list of devices that will not work.. I think PSP's do not work.

connect your phone to your computer via usb cable and copy the data
So basically I'd stepped on my phone and cracked the gorilla glass and damaged the lcd as well as its touch sensitive capabilities. The device powers on fine but is no longer interactive therefore disabling me from actually entering in my numeric security code. I can't access it as mass storage until the screen is unlocked. Device shows as "Xperia z" portable device in windows explorer but opening the drive shows an empty location.. Nothing to copy
Try removing your SIM. this will also disable pin

I don't know how you have your storage set up but most of it could well be on your SD card, take it out and check.

[Q] N7000 destroyed, data recovery?

Hi guys
as you can see in the attached file, i have a litte issue
a friend of mine dropped the phone and a car runned over it lol...digitizer and lcd are gone but the phone still boot up and it is recognized by the computer. My friend don't care about repairs but he wants the data back and here starts the problems:
-adb is off
-phone is password protected (so no kies and no sdcard reading from pc), phone stay in the "insert password" at startup.
-i don't even know if support mhl to attach on a tv
how can i recover the data? The only idea i have is to dump the rom and load it on an android emulator but i don't even know if its possible. Can someone give me a hint to recover the data? Thank you
1) Buy a replacement screen
2) Get the data
3) Sell fully working phone
...
Profit!
that was my idea...my friend do not approve

Did you try the S-pen to input the password?
i can't get a precise feedback. I think i'm not pressing the correct numbers and after half hour of wasting time i was looking for other options. Does this phone support mhl? If yes, i have to enable in settings or something else?

I dont know qbout mhl, never used it. The phone does support it though.
Another idea might be a usb-otg cable and a keyboard(password entry).
Not sure if that works on a stock rom, but try it.

Sure you have fixed by now but incase or if anyone else lands here, You can use USB C TO HDMI (Cable,dongle,etc) and hook it to computer screen,TV. I had adapter and hooked a mouse to navigate. Though very poorly, I could still use touch screen

display is black after fall - how can I backup?

hi
my phone fell down yesterday
the screen has cracks and the display is black
the touch is still working but I cant see what I'm pressing
is there a way for me to backup my data (images, contacts etc.)?
Thanks
You need to link up to your PC.
Blind navigation is very difficult but not impossible. Hopefully you already have it set to link up to your PC.
Get some screen shots of your model doing the steps you need to do and use them to help navigate the blackness.
Always redundantly backup critical data...

If you can't do that already... I sincerely doubt you can recover the data.
A data recovery service may be able to.

I think you fail to understand the extent of your issues. That's a plural too...
Try hooking it up to the PC. The Android will probably have a pop up asking you if you wish to connect. You need to punch that.

do I did and fired adb but it says the device is unauthorized...
Since I cant really see the screen - I cant enable usb debugging
I cant see if my android is popping up a message as the display is all back (as the title of the thread say)

You need to guess the popups position. Keep doing it until it connects.
Use a online screenshot of that model with that popup as a template and guesstimate.
