Black screen on FP3+
-
I have had low space left on my FP3, but not cleaned it up. Suddenly I could no longer open many programs, and finally, I could no longer boot it. I get the Fairphone flashscreen, and then it goes black. I can see that something is running behind the sceenes, because if I attach the phone with USB to my laptop, I can se that it is active in Nautilus file browser. I can not browse the device though.
How can I save my data from the phone? -

Boot the device into recovery and then use the ADB commands to pull the data from the he device onto the PC. If your device is seen if file manager such as nautilus can you not pull your data off from there?

I succesfully got into recovery mode and can now use ADB. The file manager can see the phone attached as "FP3", but comes with an error "Can not open the MTP-unit 001,013" when I try to browse it.

@Kjetil you can't browse it. You need to access it through ADB using the terminal.
Connect, mount data, transfer data usingadb pull.There are some instructions for backups with ADB here in the forum somewhere.
