How can I back up my phone without a cable?

[inabind]

My Blu StudioX fell into water and while I can still receive calls and can still see the screen, it no longer responds to touch. I would like to perform a factory reset but would like to back the phone up first. Problem is that the data cable only charges the phone when I plug it into the computer. How can I back the phone up? Thank you!

Welcome to Android Central! Do you want to do a factory reset to try to fix the phone, or to wipe it so that no one else can access it? If you're trying to fix it, I don't think that will help, because water damage is pretty much irreversible (and can be progressive).

The water damage may have damaged the USB port such that data transfer is no longer possible. If you're unable to use the phone due to the screen being damaged, then you may be out of luck. You could try an OTG cable attached to a USB mouse or keyboard to see if that works, but if the port is only working for charging, then this probably won't help either.

Thank you for your response. I am not able to back it up so i guess a factory reset is what i'm left with. Please tell me how that is done? Thank you.
