Extract contacts from a dead Android

Question

Android

Hello. There is an andoid with a broken and unrecoverable screen. It has a bunch of phones that were not synchronized with the account. Question: can they be pulled out of the phone? If so, how?

Answer 1

Using ADB, you can try
contacts stored in /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contact2.db
adb pull "remote" ["local"] - copy a file or directory from the device.

Answer 2

I always considered the synchronization of contacts (for ordinary people - a Google account, for paranoids - other options) - one of the most important advantages of the telephone part of a smartphone over a regular phone. And you can ask what arguments you had in order to store “a bunch of phones in smart and not synchronize them”;)?
