See I did that, but got the one-two punch of death.
Cracked screen AND USB-C port failure. No charging or data transfer possible.
Apparently at one time google opted me in for Google Photos, so I have a backup of those, but recent contacts were totally lost.
Still have the board lying around and am tempted to continue tinkering with it... Or would be if I had any clue where to get insight on how to do advanced debugging on why a mobile phone wouldn't even register as connected over USB-C. Assuming some sort of handshake failure.
