[AC Question]

i thought i had a backup activated but i found out the hard way i didn't as far as i can see there is also no sd card installed is there a way to get it from the hard drive or is it possible there is a copy floating around somewhere

There's no "hard drive", there's internal storage.

If the phone is working, you can plug it into a computer and copy files that way. Or try Recovering files via adb (Post #22).

If the phone isn't working, there's no way.
