Dropped my phone, filed an insurance claim, received a replacement phone and now I need to return my broken phone to the
insurance company. However, I need to get all my photographs off the phone. The screen is black so I cannot type in my password to unlock the phone. My PC does not recognize the phone when plugged into a USB outlet... I suppose that's because the phone is locked. I've researched and read about using minimal ADB and Fastboot as a way to recover the photographs but this is very greek to me. The ADB and Fastboot prompt shows up on my PC but I do not understand what commands to type into the path to get me to photographs on the phone. If ADB and Fastboot is the correct vehicle to use to recover photographs from the S4, then I could use someone's help to walk me through that process. Thanks in advance for any and all help... it's much appreciated.
