Phone with broken screen and USB debugging not enabled.

[AC Question]

So yesterday my phone got pretty much obliterated. It still powers on, no display on the screen and when I plug it into the computer there is no way to get into the phone, so USB debugging must be disabled. It is not rooted. Is there anything I can do to get these files off the phone?

Welcome.
It may be a goner.
What device do you have?

Hello,

I have the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3. Screen doesn't show anything, but phone powers on and off. Can't unlock it since touch screen doesn't work and can't enable USB debugging.

Tried several things such as SmartSwitch, DrFone Wondershare, Wondershare Mobile Transfer, but all of them require USB debugging or they fail for other reasons.

My main goal is to transfer all of my data to a replacement Galaxy S3 (not a brand new one), but I'm not sure what to do exactly at this point.

The only thing I can think of is replacing the mother board onto the new S3, then saving the data using that phone and perhaps putting the old motherboard back after and restoring the backup onto it. Is this my only option, or can I do something else? (Excluding purchasing a new screen)

If you have a Samsung account you can use that to unlock the screen so you can backup to kies
