Couldn't you use it's HDMI mini port or whatever it has to connect it to a TV?

You can use a dock with mhl hdmi output and a usb port for a mouse.

Ok thanks. I'm looking for the cable right now. Didn't know the phone can do that.
If anyone has any alternative solution I'd love to hear it, thanks

Best phone IMHO, currently using it as I type this. In a world oversaturated with phones, I think this one has the perfect balance, and the endurance to keep going for at least a few more years. Since the OS has aged, app crippling bugs are few and far between, and it has handled just about everything I've thrown at it. I added a Zerolemon battery and a 128GB SD card and it's a lil beastie.

If you have custom recovery eg twrp cwm or philz you can boot to that and use the phone as mass storage to access files via usb. Another reason to root your phone.

My 2 cents may not be of great use to you right now, rather it is a preventive measure for the future I am going to propose.

1. Always have three backup copies of your important data on three different mediums, two of which are off line, and off site.
2. Backup often, backup all.
3. For android based devices, it pays to have usb debugging on all the time for this particular case. be aware that a third party who is tech savvy enough is capable of stealing/altering your data using the same method using adb.

Lastly data that isn't backed up is data you're ready to lose. 4chan's /g/ wiki has a noob friendly topic about data backup.

Thanks for all the replies, I have the ASUS ZenFone 2 as my primary, it have Google Photos to backup all the photos and video. I don't use this one that often so I'm being careless about it.
