Cracked Screen - Transfer Files???

mikeyd3232 · 07/07/2009, 01:33 AM

My first Pre's screen cracked and is not working. Is there anyway to transfer files via usb without pressing the "sync USB" button on the screen?

Took about 10 days and $100 to get a new Pre shipped to me, but I'd love to get the photos/files off my old one and onto my new one.

Suggestions???
Thanks!!!

I was wondering about this myself -- I'd really like to be able to make a 100% backup of all my data, not just the auto-backup stuff. I was thinking maybe the Homebrew community would be able to help with this, and was going to pop over to the IRC channel at some point to start asking around if I didn't find anything on Pre Dev Wiki or These Forums.

How do you do that?

Is there a way to do that without having to press anything on the screen?
I'd like to just have it automatically mount on my laptop.

You know this is a really good point.
I wasn't going to root my phone, but for this reason alone it may be worth it..

I have the same problem. Gotta transfer things before I have to send it back to asurion. Does anyone know how to root the phone? (I'm not the most tech savvy guy) Thanks in advance for any help!

You can't root it if you can't touch the screen.
