Asked By CuriousCat42 On

I'm in a bit of a pickle here. My Oppo A74 has a broken display, and I'm trying to figure out if I can use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) to transfer files to my computer. I'm completely new to programming and have been following some guides online, but I'm still a bit lost. Is it even possible to access my files this way given that I can't see anything on the phone? I'm not sure if the commands I'm using are correct either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, you can technically transfer files using ADB even if your screen is broken. However, you need to make sure ADB is set up correctly on your computer and that USB debugging was enabled before the screen broke. You can use commands like `adb pull` to get files from the phone to your computer, but it really depends on your setup. If you haven't enabled debugging and can't access the screen, it might be a bit tricky.

You’re definitely not in the right place for this question, but here’s the deal: ADB commands like `ADB PULL` and `ADB PUSH` are what you’d use to transfer files. But remember, your phone must be unlocked and authorized for ADB access, which requires interaction with the screen.

Starting up the phone and allowing access is key. If the display is completely unresponsive, then you’ll struggle since Android has security measures in place to prevent unauthorized access. My advice? If the data is really important, consider getting a new screen so you can recover your files easily.
