Is there any possible way to access Android phone data from Linux device without MTP?
Hello everyone, so I cant access my mobile because my screen is broken (the phone works tho but I cant see anything). So is there any way I can transfer my data from Android to a Linux device without MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)?

Odd question, since just plugging the phone in should just make it show up and let you drag/drop files. The short answer is "Yes"...longer answer is, "Maybe, it depends on what you have on the phone".
If you've already paired it via bluetooth, you can do that. If you have a file-transfer utility on your phone, you may be able to use that, but there are too many unknowns in your question.
Hey, thanks for answering. Well when I plug it in I cant see the data, I need a permission from my phone (Huawei P Smart 2019).
Then there's not much you can do, aside from granting that permission. As said, if you have some data-transfer utility running that works over wifi, or have it bluetooth paired, you may be able to, but if you don't, and can't get the phone to approve the transfer, that's it.
Buy a new phone, and get the provider to transfer your data over, or get the phone repaired where the screen is usable. Those are really your only options.
There is a slim chance the touchscreen is still functional, it really is not a part of display, it is an input device mounted over your display. If it works then theoretically you could give this permission blindly.
