How to copy files from a locked XperiaZ with broken screen

[jelmer98]

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

If the touchscreen is broken,there is no way you could even recover.I am sorry.

if you use a cable like this you can connect a mouse and then unlock your screen. Thats how i did it.

Hi, exact same problem as jelmer my screen is completly finished i can't see or use it but I desperatly need the pictures off the phone tried the resetting way stated in this thread but no luck got a feeling I'm missing something in the process everytime I do it it still says i need to insert drive has any else found another way? Like I said i really want these photos off the phone of my daughters first few months. I have dropbox and memory card to recover some but there still some on the internal memory of the phone I need to recover

How did you turn it off and on when you can't use the touch screen to confirm switch off! I have the same problem - O2 will repair my phone if I send it off but it will be wiped and I have lots of stuff that I want from it 😞

if its the same as the Z1 there's a tiny red reset button next to the Sim card holder, press it in it turns the phone off but doesn't restart it
