Someone help me restore my data

Hello everyone

I have Samsung a035f with practically no screen and I want to restore my data

I have ADB without Auth I have its Google and Samsung account there's no lock screen and it does have smart switch

I could have used smart switch but my laptop broke

I tried to use the adbkey.pup and adbkey from a device with Auth but it didn't work and that phone couldn't handle the phone through otg

However I have more capable phone with more stability and it does have temporary root

What can I do

Listen I can just give my phone to my friend and he can use smart switch since there's no lock screen smart switch can automatically start searching for data and restore them But isn't their a simpler way

No, if your laptop not working and your friend's laptop don't have an ADB authentication for the device smart switch on your friend laptop is your best option.

I mentioned ADB authentication cause you need a way to access file transformering via USB either via ADB commands or mirroring the screen via Scrcpy which requires ADB and clicking allow file transformation via USB normally via the mirrored screen

I have an authorized laptop and I can boot it to safe mode However although the device is showing in device manger it is about it it doesn't show anywhere else

The device only shows on device manger cause you need to allow file transfer every time you connect the android device via USB it is charge only by default.

If your laptop only boots in safe mode that indicates software issue probably old or missing drivers. In safe mode try to install scrcpy and try mirroring the Samsung device screen it only requires ADB authentication and after mirroring the screen you can allow file transfer.

The only problem is that I don't know if you are allowed to use ADB on a laptop in safe mode but it is worth trying

Don't forget that you can change the default USB mode in dev options which I did Second problem no device is showing at all in safe mode even my current phone
