How to copy files from a locked XperiaZ with broken screen

Hi,

I have an Xperia Z, with a cracked screen that is not responding to touch anymore.

Tried to copy files from Phone to PC, but I'm not able to see the sd-card or files.

Tried the PC Companion. It sees the phone, but say's it has to be unlocked. Which is not possible anymore.

I also tried MyPhoneExplorer (which seems to have spyware on board according TrendMicro), but also no success.

Please help, because I need my 1100 pictures....

Kind regards, Jelmer

HI,

My Xperia T2 Ultra's Display is completely Shattered. When I tried to connect the phone to a PC, I am getting message as "This Folder is Empty". I can't draw pattern using mouse connected to OTG USB to unlock the phone as the display is completely shattered. Please let me know, How can I copy data from Internal Storage.

Thanks in Advance.

Bala.

You must have the mouse and otg cable plugged in before turning the phone on or it won't work. I'm going through the same thing right now...

This works, even with a wireless mouse. Thank you!

That does not work for me. After unlocking and changing to computer the program still thinks it is locked. I would gladly pay if Sony could restore information from phone before repairs, or perhaps not delete anything before repairs.
