How to recover files from an Android phone that won’t boot
Install SDK Platform Tools
Only Windows needs drivers
Install Motorola Driver Manager for ADB for Mac
Flash Recovery TWRP Custom ROM to allow phone to accept ADB commands
Unlock device with code (pay for it if the company can’t provide it, ~$20-$35), can’t get it or device is CDMA, then you can’t recover
Command line
ADB and Fastboot (expand ZIP to Downloads folder, not installed)
./adb – for when you have the phone working with USB debugging turned on in Developer settings
./fastboot – for when phone doesn’t work, it’s best to get it working again if device is unlocked, can’t unlock then can’t recover
