Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

Hi,

So my phones screen broke. I am not planning to get it fixed. How do I recover my wallet on my new phone?

Mycelium for android.

Thanks

If you didn't impost any single private keys, then all of your wallet can be recovered with the master-seed. Simply install mycelium on your new phone and type in the word list that you copied when you installed it the first time on your broken phone. If you didn't write it down, you'd better fix the phone you aren't planning to get fixed... unless it costs more than the value of the coins stored on it.

Mycelium doesn't force you to backup your wallet before using it.
In other words, there is a chance OP never made one and couldn't even get to write it down.

If it's the case then OP has zero percent to recover those funds in his mycelium wallet. It's the very important part in every wallet to have a backup of its master-seed or its private keys instead.

From which company is your phone? samsung, sony, htc or any other.....

On samsung devices, I know one way which I have tested. Download software "Android Data Recovery", install it and than connect device to PC, than o to the third option and click on the "Android Broken Data Recovery", than select the "File Type" from "Broken Phone", than choose a Phone "Fault Type", than get samsung phone into "Download Mode", analyze, scan and preview files stored in samsung device and than final step is to restore deleted files from samsung with Broken Screen and to do that, click on recover.
