Hi all,

So, I am trying to fix my friend's S3 mini. The screen is not working and touch is not working. I managed to (blindly, phew!) flash CWM on it to be able to access the files on the internal SD card. In normal mode, USB debugging is not enabled, so I can't unlock the screen to copy the files.

In recovery mode, ADB finds the device, and I am able to access ADB shell. It lists the directories, but inside each folder, it lists nothing. What can I do?

I appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks in advance!
