Hi there, I’ve had a broken phone lying around for ages, only kept it as I know there are some pictures and files I wish I could gain access to again. I’ve tried a variety of methods gaining access to the files, but it doesn’t seem possible as I cannot actually use the screen to “allow usb transfer” etc… Is there any...
