I need data, mostly text messages from a few devices with broken screen as evidence regarding protective order for my son and I. They are crucial to our case, and screen was broken on 2 of them. I have Samsung galaxy, and 2 Zte phones. What recovery software has capability to retrieve from most android devices? The Samsung has deleted texts I would also like to recover, but I would be happy with current data at this point. Thank you in advance for your time.

None from a phone with a broken screen - at very least you have to see the request to allow the recovery app to run, and give it permission.

You might try some of the information in A quick guide to accessing a locked phone with a cracked screen.. And in the future, think about backing everything up off the phone (like your Google Drive).

I figured it was an authorize device issue, usb debugging, most programs I looked into can only do this on Samsung devices. I appreciate your help and suggestion, and I'm gonna replace screen on zte, looks like the only option. Thank you again

There is an Android App called "Remember It" in the Google play.
You can try it to recover your data from broken Android.
