How to Get Pictures of a Phone That Won’t Turn On

If, somehow, your Android phone is not turning on and you need to get the pictures stored in it or any other data, then this article is for you. This article will discuss how to get your pictures from your dead phone. I mean an Android phone that won’t turn on. This article is targeted towards Android phone users.

What caused your phone not to turn on?

The first question we must ask in such a situation is, what led to your phone not turning on? Your phone can stop working for a variety of reasons. But here are some of the most common reasons why your Android phone may have stopped working: –

1. If the phone is stuck in the sleep mode or power-off state, it cannot switch on or wake up by itself when you press the power button.
2. It can be the case that the battery in your Android phone is drained out.
3. The software or ROM on your Android phone may be corrupted. A clear sign of this happening is that you can switch on your phone, but it crashes soon or goes into a boot loop.
4. Another reason for your phone not turning on may be that your device is clogged inside with dust or lint, causing your phone’s internals to malfunction.
5. Another reason that can cause your Android phone not to turn on is a broken power button. If not the power button, your charging connector may have some carbon build-up, which can cause your phone not to charge and, thus, not turn on.

How to solve the problem by yourself

If your phone is not turning on because the battery is drawn out, you should try charging the phone using a different charger before rushing to the phone repair shop. It may be the case that the charger you were using to charge your phone was a faulty one.

If your phone is stuck in a boot loop or crashes after turning it on, it may be fixed by a hard reset. But beware that this process will delete any data stored in your phone’s internal memory.

Also, you can try to do a factory reset by pressing the Vol Up + Home + Power buttons on Samsung devices (you can search for the combination for your phone online). Now, in the menu that appears, scroll to the option “wipe data/factory reset” and select it. This will perform a hard reset on your device, and your phone may start working normally again.

How to get your Pictures from your Phone that Won’t Turn On

If the above steps fail to fix your phone and it is still not working, you must send it to a service center. But before that, you should get any data stored on the phone, like your photos and documents. Here is how you can do that.

Please note that if your phone is not turning on because of a hardware issue, this process cannot help you. But if the screen is not working, you can use this method to get the data off your phone.

Let’s see how to get your pictures from your dead phone

• Step 1. Connect your phone with your computer

First, you must download and install software called Dr. Fone on your computer and select “Recover.”

Connect your phone to the PC using a USB cable and open Dr. Fone software. Select the option “Recover Android Data” from the menu here. If you are an iPhone user, you can try downloading the photos from iCloud.

Step 2. Select what you want to get out of your Phone

Now, click the option “Recover from broken phone.” Now, the software will show a list of data types you want to recover, and all the types are selected by default. You can also specify the type of data you want to recover from the phone (e.g., images). After selecting the data types, click next.

You should note that this process only applies to getting out data that already exists on a damaged Android phone.

Step 3. Select which situation you are in

If your screen is not working, you may be dealing with one of two main situations in Android phones. One is that the touch of your display is not working, and the other is that your display is black or broken. You have to select which is your problem and click next.

In the next screen, you have to select which phone model you have and select next.

A pop-up asks you to confirm if the info you inputted is correct. Incorrect information can lead to problems on your phone or any other error. Last, click the “Confirm” to continue.

Now, there will be a popup asking you to ensure the information you entered is correct. You must take this warning seriously, as giving incorrect data can cause a permanent brick on your phone. Once you have confirmed, click on the “Confirm” option.

Step 4. Put your phone in download mode

First off, Turn off the power of the phone.

Now, you have to put your phone in download mode. To do this, first, power off your device.

Press and hold the Volume Download, Home, and Power buttons together.

Now, press the volume down, home, and power buttons together. (If your phone has no home button, then Google your phone’s combination to put it into download mode.)

Next, press the volume up button once to put your phone in download mode

Once your phone is downloaded, the software will automatically begin to search the phone and analyze the phone for data.

Step 5. Preview and restore data from your phone

Once the software has analyzed your phone and the scanning process is finished, it will show you what types of data type and give you the option to preview them. Once you have selected the files you want to recover, click on the option called “Recover” to save the files on your PC.

Conclusion

Summarily, we discussed ways by which you can recover the data in your phone if your phone is not working or not turning on. We can use Dr. Fone’s recovery software to recover the data from a damaged Android phone by using the download mode on all Android phones.
