If the USB port is still working, you might try with an USB-OTG cable. They
are usually very cheap.

With that you can plug a usb keyboard or mouse (or a usb hub with both),
and use that to operate the phone and hopefully be able to extract the data.

I've just tried on my bq e4.5, and the latest rc-proposed automatically
recognized both keyboard and mouse just fine.

cheers,
