I know this question was asked over, and over, and yet over again.
However, the discussions over the topic go over many, many pages, are not noob-friendly (the noob in question is me).
My device:
LG Optimus G (E975); stock; no root; no USB debugging; locked bootloader (I think)
The screen is working, the digitalizer is not.
I can get into recovery.
I can copy the files from DCIM.
I have found this soft: http://ift.tt/1qEWMRE
I was able to make it work with another device. Maybe that's a good way to go? If I can get the USB debugging to turn on I could get all my data this way.
Also, when I get the broken phone into recovery mode, connect it to computer and use 'adb devices' it shows up as ' LG<some number of the phone> recovery>' - I don't know if it is a good sign or just 'meh, they all do that'.
What I want from the old phone:
Contacts. Unfortunately, when the phone broke it has not been synchronized with Google for some time, and some of the crucial contacts are lost.
All other data would be a nice bonus.
Since I can get the above software to work I think that what I need to do is 'just' enable USB debugging through ADB.
HOWEVER, to do this I think I need to get a custom rom? And that means rooting? WHICH would lead to data lost. I hope I'm wrong.
Any advice? Besides the 'get a new digitalizer and put it on'?
Please, help the noob!
