Help How to retrieve photos from broken OnePlus?

[ltnielsen]

Hi all,

Hope someone can come up with a good idea to help me out. I have a OnePlus 3 that I have been very happy with. I dropped it recently, though, cracking the screen. No worries, still worked, although the glass was peeling away in one corner. Then yesterday, the screen suddenly went all black with a few green lines across showing up.

The phone was pretty old, so I've ordered a new one. Did not want to repair it.

BUT, I have been stupid enough to not activate any kind of cloud backup for photos etc. So my question to you all is: Can we find a way to 'break into' the phone without being able to see and (i think) control the screen?

Some additional info:
-It's a OnePlus 3
-No, I did not use google photos or anything similar.
-The phone is still alive. It activates when called or when recieving a text. I'm basically still logged in.
-I assume it is not debugged. Nothing happens if I connect it via cable to my computer.
- I've tried several of the phone-rescue softwares (EasyUS, Phone Rescue, Dr.Fone etc.). None of them register the phone.

The only solution I can think of is to pay to have the screen changed. But since it when all black, I suspect it may be more complicated (and expensive) than the typical screen replacement.

Any help?

Have you tried a different cable?

Hi Dannydet. Thank you for you interest. Yes, I have indeed tried another cable. That would have been a very nice solution, though

It sounds to me like just a screen replacement. If that's an option, you could try that. One other solution might be able to hook it up to an hdmi adapter and view the screen via a TV.

Unless you specifically turned off the "transfer" function in Goggle Photos your photos will be there. It's the default.
