Crushed T2 Ultra- PLEASE HELP! Need internal storage items!

Right now, I'm sick!  Face_with_Thermometer

Not only is my phone messed, all my internal data is gone...I was outside with my (indoor) cat letting her have some rare outdoor feedom. The phone was on my boot. I brought her in & later went to get my daughter from her work (night).

I never knew I'd left it on the boot. Later, after we were home, tried to find it & even ringing didn't get it. We decided to trace the path of the travel to her work & got about 100 meters to find my T2 Ultra in the middle of the road & crushed (run over). The screen lights & I can access my mSD. But what I want is the internal info.

Does anyone here know how to get to that? I can't do anything using the screen because it's so smashed. I can tell it's on, but that's it.

HELP!!!

get an USB OTG cable + a mouse and you will be able to unlock the phone

Not sure what you mean?

My phone isn't locked to a carrier- it's unlocked already?

When I plug it in to my PC (Linux Mint) it reads the mSD fine. But there's nothing showing up for the internal storage & I have made notes & such which I want back for my business.

Can you elaborate?

Thanks so much.

if your phone had a pin lock, pattern lock, password lock then you could use the mouse, also you could use the mouse to control the phone.

My trouble is that a car has run over the screen & it is completely cracked. It looks like into about a million tiny slivers so appears white. I can tell it's lit at the edges...but I can't view anything. Is there a way to hook it to any sort of external screen to see what's there?

Thank you again.

yeah, you can use a 5-pin MHL, but maybe the damage its too great that the motherboard might be damaged.

Now that I've had some sleep, I'm thinking that even if I were to get an adapter which output video, I wouldn't have a way to manipulate the screen as I would find it hard to believe it could properly respond to touch being that shattered?

Placing the SIM & mSD back to my old phone, of course all of the data since I swapped to the T2 is gone (phone list is 2014). Sigh...

I guess I'll make my way to our local electronics shop & hope there's a kindly geek on the job today...

Will let you know the outcome.

what happen when you connect the phone to a computer?
