you actually not alive if you're not
using a smartphone
yeah the problem now they are all screen
and sometimes
screen could break
thankfully they didn't break this time
around but when it comes to broken
smartphone screen there are levels to
the level of the damage and what you can
do with it so before i talk about how to
access a smartphone that had a broken
screen
let me tell you about the levels this
one
is a broken screen
clean but if i turn it on
it doesn't come up
and this one
this places are broken
but luckily enough
the screen still turns on there is
a completely smashed smartphone screen
this one is so bad
yeah
that's dead
so which one is your level so let's go
and tell you how you can access
information stored in the phone with
that smartphone screen you ready for
that let's go
okay welcome back again to smart deport
when it comes to broken screen i will
give it level one two three
now starting from level one level one is
what i call partial broken uh
touchscreen so the reason why i'm giving
them level is that there are different
different ways and approaches to go and
access any data in any of this phone
assuming that part of the touchscreen is
not working or you're not able to use
the touchscreen but you can see the
screen
now it could come in different different
forms but then one thing in common is
that you won't be able to tap on the
screen or to communicate with the phone
that's level one
now my classification of level two goes
higher now for phones that are
completely dead you can't see anything
you wouldn't know whether the phone is
even on and off
in some cases you might be able to see
part of the phone screen being on in a
very dark room as you can see right now
so those are what i call level two it's
more difficult to deal with as i'll
explain later in the video but i already
did a video on how to assess issues with
level one and level two using usb otg
adapter mouse or with a keyboard click
on the cards right now to watch that
video and if you watch up to this point
it's up to the channel will be next
level as we go into level three
level three is a completely smashed
smartphone and this one can have
complications some things like the
battery connection could be off the flex
cable between the motherboard or even
the screen might be affecting something
so you might have to check whether
everything is okay on a level three
before you start thinking of you know
accessing it through a pc or computer
and for the level one two three you can
always assess that through computer but
there are access restrictions and that
is what we're gonna talk about
it doesn't matter whether you're on the
divide of ios or you're on the side of
android there is access restriction
let's start from apple from ios 11 apple
added a new restriction to usb under
face unlock and passcode of course you
will require password to even get to
that setting imagine when your screen is
broken
so there is what is called usb
accessories if you are using ios from
ios 11 you get to see that on the face
id and passcode now it prevents your
phone to be not accessed through usb
after one hour it's been locked
that's bad i mean i don't know why they
come up with that and if you think that
is the only restriction with until you
want to connect itunes and then to sync
your file you have to trust a pc or a
mac before you be able to do that if you
don't trust it it's a big big big
restriction
so now you have to think of how to go
over that and you have to also use a
passcode on your phone before you can
trust a device so it makes it even more
complicated now if you want to backup
encrypted backup you have to create a
password for that backup and then if the
password on your phone is not entered
you have to enter the password again of
your phone before you do that come on
apple this is complication upon
complication upon complication yeah but
that's what most youtubers don't tell
you about assessing the phone with
broken screen you have restriction you
have to overcome
now let's go back to android side of the
divide the restriction is still there in
fact for android you first of all have
to go to settings and then and tap on
the build number like seven times before
you can turn on developer option and you
might require you require password to do
that then you go to developer option you
turn on usb debugging mode
there are a lot of things you can do
with usb debugging to monitor your phone
copy file everything but then when you
now want to turn it on it has also
another option to always trust this
computer or always allowed from this
computer so you have to turn that on
also for you to be able to access it
even when the phone is not on and all
that
so these are restrictions that most
people don't want to talk to you about
if it's on if these things are on you
can reboot you can do some commands from
your adb and fastboots and all that to
your phone
so let's talk about some of the solution
to this so if you're having problem
recovering data from your broken screen
dr phone recovery application is a good
one now i'm not recommending it because
they have once contacted me to do a
video about their product and then i was
looking at the whatsapp backup and
restore i discovered that they are doing
something fishy they will uninstall the
main whatsapp and install their own
clients and use it to do the backup so i
spoke to them they did give me the right
answer so but you can use their tools to
restore apps if you don't like that
there is all tone
earth phone is also a very very very
important tool that you can use most of
this tool will also require in some
cases or most cases that you have usb
debugging if you're an android or from a
trusted system if you're on ios then
there is vsau app now this one is for
android and it requires usb
debugging so if you don't have usb
debugging turned on then this might not
do you a lot of good if your screen is
broken but then there is also another
one called screen stream over http if
your device is connected to wi-fi the
phone now is saved wi-fi you can somehow
turn it on using the
information i gave in the other video
and then connect it and you know stream
it you can also use windows 10 um
screencast to stream in and then control
some other things in your screen and get
your information out
i'll be waiting for you in the comment
section with any challenge you have
accessing data on the smartphone that
has a broken screen and there will be
extra support if you're a channel member
so please like and share this video so i
can get to more people and until i see
you next time peace
