A friend has a Samsung android phone with broken display and he wants to extract all contacts saved on the device.
I'm trying to help, but I have a Linux OS on my PC, not windows or mac.
I also have my android Motorola Moto-G phone to try with.

I have an USB cable to connect the phone.

I also have a wifi router which my PC is connected to by a LAN eth cable and I usually connect also the phone to the router wireless network so that it can be routed to internet.

I think possible to connect my phone through a bluetooth dongle I used years ago with an old non-android cell. I've never tried it with my android phone.
My PC doesn't have any WiFi adapter so I can't create any "ad hoc" wireless connection between PC and phone.
Is there any way to extract my android Moto-G phonebook working from my Linux system?
Thanks a lot in advance!

The best method for this is to collect all of your contacts into a vcf file, and then copy it between the phones
To import them, you just follow the same steps, but you choose import instead.
I have a Moto-G, and this works for me!
