My phone screen is shattered, totally un-usable. When I plug it into my computer (Linux Mint) it is recognized but I can not enter pin to unlock the screen and also USB debugging is not enabled :(
Is there any way to get the fotos and stuff off the phone?
I recently faced a similar problem with a phone that had its screen slowly turning black after it was accidentally dropped. The process of turning black lasted about two days so I was able to react. First thing I did was remove any device locking method (PIN, face unlock etc) so that this would not get in the way once the screen was completely unusable. I then allowed device debugging via USB and used scrcpy (link to scrcpy on github) to mirror the screen to my Linux PC (and control the device via mouse). Through this, I was able to move any data I still needed away from the device even after the screen was completely black There are precompiled binaries for scrcpy on the GitHub project site.
Yeah scrcpy is a lifesaver. I have successuflly used scrcpy-GUI (together with an OTG adapter for a mouse) in the past, but my screen was partly usable, so I could see and did not have to do too much adb/fastboot magic.
If OPs screen is broken and they did not do anything beforehand, I would have no idea how to proceed, since HDMI alternate mode seems (still) not very widespread.
