If the USB port is still working, you might try with an USB-OTG cable. They are usually very cheap.
With that you can plug a usb keyboard or mouse (or a usb hub with both), and use that to operate the phone and hopefully be able to extract the data. I've just tried on my bq e4.5, and the latest rc-proposed automatically recognized both keyboard and mouse just fine. cheers, -- alecu On Mon, Dec 19, 2016 at 5:07 PM, Gert-Jan Hüfken <gert...@hufken.be> wrote: > Thanks for the suggestion Daniele.
