Retrieving files from OnePlus 3 with dead screen.

Greetings!

 

One of my friends would like to get some files off his OnePlus 3 with a broken screen. The screen is black and does not respond to touch. So my first thought when he came to me with it was to just plug it in a computer and run a ADB pull command and get the files off the device. Nope! Turns out the he has not turned developer settings on. This means that USB debugging is disabled. Then I thought "Maybe I could just flash a new recovery on the device and retrieve the files from that.". And again I was disappointing when I found out that of course the OEM is also locked. So no flashing TWRP on that device...

So to summaries: 

  • Device works and can go in to fastboot or recovery (OnePlus stock recovery).
  • OEM is locked and USB debugging is disabled, so no ADB commands...
  • Fastboot commands work :) 

So now you are probably like: "Why don't  you just buy a replacement screen?". Well you see I am going to do that later down the line, but I just wanted to pull the files as fast as possible.

Any suggestions to what I can do at the moment?

Please mention or quote me if you want a response. :)
