How to get data moved out of a ( basically ) dead Huawei P6
I'm trying to rescue data from an old Huawei Ascend P6 with a broken screen, is there a way to get access to the data and clone it, without screen interaction?
Even without the screen it might be possible to enter a passcode with a mouse or keyboard. Once it's unlocked it should be able to be connected to a PC over USB and copy off all the data.

Really!! How ?, based on what I know you have to Unlock the phone, and when you plug the USB you have to select what you want to do ( charge only, transfer files, transfer photos... )... I tried plugging it in to my windows machine, File Explorer sees a new drive but I can't access it... ಥ_ಥ
I'm pretty sure, if all else fails, someone really good at electronics can find the storage module in the phone, hook it to a PC and extract its data. I hope it's not encrypted, because in that case that has to be figured out as well.
However, I recommend making regular backups while a phone still works. I copy everything over to my PC via SFTP from time to time and sometimes I use that new phone app (in my case Smart Switch) to mirror everything to my backup phone.

I thought this would be one of the potential solutions, for it because the screen is just gone, and they're scarce... But like you said they have to be really good

It runs a very outdated android, I'm not sure about the state of encryption in such devices 🤷♂️
