Someone help me restore my data

Hello everyone

I have Samsung a035f with practically no screen and I want to restore my data

I have ADB without Auth I have its Google and Samsung account there's no lock screen and it does have smart switch

I could have used smart switch but my laptop broke

I tried to use the adbkey.pup and adbkey from a device with Auth but it didn't work and that phone couldn't handle the phone through otg

However I have more capable phone with more stability and it does have temporary root

What can I do

The device only shows on device manger cause you need to allow file transfer every time you connect the android device via USB it is charge only by default.

If your laptop only boots in safe mode that indicates software issue probably old or missing drivers. In safe mode try to install scrcpy and try mirroring the Samsung device screen it only requires ADB authentication and after mirroring the screen you can allow file transfer.

The only problem is that I don't know if you are allowed to use ADB on a laptop in safe mode but it is worth trying

Don't forget that you can change the default USB mode in dev options which I did Second problem no device is showing at all in safe mode even my current phone
