[QUOTE="ArloG, post: 1165096, member: 418555"] It could be complicated or not. Is your phone equipped with a micro or usb-c charging port? There are adapters (I have one) that let you plug in a usb-c cable into the phone. The adapter has a couple of normal USB ports. It has a memory card slot. And an HDMI port. Plus a port to power it and charge the phone from. So. On a backup and restore on a bad screen phone from a customer. HDMI was immediate. Got the phone screen right away on my pc monitor. Then a USB keyboard. It was found and worked. And finally a USB mouse. Full phone control. But. It needs a USB-C port to work. Samrt Switch, Kies. Both work to backup/restore. There are a lot of things that do not backup. So manually exporting your contacts, messages, phone pictures to memory card takes time. And is a good idea. A 1-1 backup should not be assumed. It never is on the phones I repair. Old phone to new? Maybe, maybe not. Pictures, music. Perhaps. But still you need to check. If the versions of contacts, messaging is different. The software will let you know. But still. There are third party apps that let you create backups export to or import from a backup file. Data recovery is expensive. Because even the experienced aren't always given an easy ride doing it. And it takes tools, software, skill, and past lessons learned. Of course a new screen is always an option.
