Data recovery from a broken phone

Restoring data from a broken phone can be a difficult task, but in most cases it is possible to achieve success. Here are some steps you can take to request data recovery:

1. Connect your broken phone to the computer using a USB cable and check whether the operating system recognizes it.

2. If your phone successfully connects to the computer, open Explorer (for Windows) or Finder (for Mac) to see the available files on the device.

3. Back up all available files and folders on your broken phone to your computer's hard drive or another safe place to store information.

4. If you cannot see the content of your broken screen through Explorer/Finder after connecting to a computer via a USB cable, there is a possibility of a connection problem between the two devices due to a damaged microUSB/Lightning port or the charging/syncing switch itself.
– To correct this problem, contact the service center specialists for help;
– You can also try using wireless connection methods such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi (for example, the AirDroid app for Android) to access files on your broken phone.

5. If none of the above methods work and important information still remains unavailable, then the last step is to seek help from data recovery professionals.
– There are companies and service centers with experience working with complex cases of damaged devices;
– They can offer the service of physical repair of the screen/charging connector or use specialized software tools to read data directly from the energy-dependent memory chip;

In any case, it should be kept in mind: the success of the operation depends on the degree of damage to the device and its capabilities that served as the basis for data loss.
