Solved! My phone's presumably dead but it is detected by computers. Can I recover data from it?

Long story short, my phone (Huawei Mate 10 Lite) died during a screen swap, now it won't start up nor charge. I can though connect it to my PC and it is detected (first as USB SER, then after I found and installed some drivers as HUAWEI USB COM 1.0). It isn't detected by any flashing nor recovery software. Is it possible to bring the phone back to life or recover the data from the phone?

It is detected but not as storage, can't enter the files.

Unless you can unlock the phone (as previously mentioned), you won't be able to access your files.

"possible" yes, doubt you can do it without taking it to a repair shop though. If you can't start it, you can't unlock it, and chances are good the phone storage is encrypted.

Hmm, that's at least something, thanks. Is there something that I could try at home before giving it to a shop?
