Salvaging Data from a dead galaxy S6?



So, I'm trying to get the data from my S6 but there are ...some problems.
* The screen is broken (can't see anything)
* When the phone works, it keeps rebooting itself, and sometimes just does not do anything when I put it on the charger (no LED light, etc)
* The phone is rooted with TWRP recovery installed
I know this is going to be super hard but I have some personal data stored on the phone that I really need to recovery, times like these is when I wish we had microSD cards, but thats a different story.
Is there any possible way I can use ADB or something like that to recover the data, even if i'm stuck in recovery mode (since it won't boot up the OS)? Any other suggestions or help would be very much appreciated.

Incorrect Battery Reporting | % Skipping | Dead @ 12%



Battery would fall 2% on the screen, it shows in battery reporting you can see the line drops steeply within 1 minute then stays stable (ignore the part where my device was asleep).

been very inaccurate with reporting % it randomly died at 12% (lowest its been since i got it 3 weeks ago) and when i power back on its at 2%. i charged back up to 40% and let it drop to 12% and the same happened.

i could live with the 3hr SOT if i got a good report of how much % was left so i can conserve usage if need be.

Running stock oxygen 2.1.1

then rooted and installed AK kernel (SOT is a little better) but still % dropping. i even super underclocked and saw the same effect


sent a ticket to OP - hoping its a defect and they can replace it

Dead charging circuit?



Hi everyone;

I've having an interesting time with my nexus 7 (2012 wifi 32gb).

Before I left on vacation I couldn't get the thing to charge. Looking at the usb port I thought it had become to damaged to make a good connection. So while I was away I ordered a new port assembly. Installed that and still no charging.
Oh the battery cell voltage had gone down to 2.2V so it's in a sleep mode. No problem used a proper lion charger to trickle charge it back to life then further to about 3.8V.
At that point it boots up though the optimization took the charge down to 2% so couldn't do more testing but clearly it worked just fine. However the thing won't charge. Plugging it in to USB it does detect the connection but does not draw any current (as shown by a usb voltage/current monitor). It will show the charge screen, go through 3 cycles of the battery filling animation then shut off.
I check and the voltage is getting from the usb cable into the connector. I traced the ribbon cable from the IO board up to the motherboard and at the other end I also get a nice 5V reading. Clearly the connection from the USB to the device is being made no problem.

At this point I am thinking that maybe I blew the charging circuit. When I was orignally trying to get it to charge before leaving I was applying all kinds of stress to the connector to get it to charge and there was a few times where I think I shorted it (usb monitor showed >3A and the device reset).

Anybody have another theory?
At this point I can't really use it as charging the cell externally is dangerous and not convenient. At this point from what I have seen with my testing and on here if I want to use it I would have to apply 5V to the battery connector (sans battery) which I haven't tried yet.
