@advocatux No I haven't tried that since I don't own a USG otg connector.

@advocatux Yes I did and it doesn't work. I put the phone in recovery mode and connected it to myPC and tried to do the adb pull and I get an error message stating that it can't find a device.

@advocatux I put the device in recovery mode but when I try to connect to it with adb I get this:

[af@andre ~]$ adb devices

I have a Meizu MX4 with Ubuntu Touch installed on it. It has the latest OTA version that Canonical released before they dropped Ubuntu Touch. My problem is now that the touchscreen on is busted. A 50 pound dumbbell accidently grazed it. I have been trying to find a way to unlock the phone because sliding doesn't work anymore but pressing seems to be registrating. Is there a way to unlock the phone over USB or similar? There a few pictures on the phone I would like to back up.
