Question = Q&A
You are simply not going to be able to do anything if you have not already backed up .
Is your phone rooted with CWM then its possible that a Nandroid backup could be done blind .
jje
can't i do anything with play.google.com ?
is there any chance to do from there ????
or something else can be suggested please ....
please help me ...
but ,why don't you replace the display ,because some time ago i've broken my sgs display ,went to a service replaced , and all my data was untouched.i don't think that replacing the screen (at service)will wipe your data
you can sync your apps and contacts by google account.

I just bought the phone in India a couple of days back. I wanted to update the phone s/w, from currently v10c, to v 10d. But every time I try and after accepting all the terms and conditions, midway through the process I get a message that the phone don't support S/W update. I have installed all the necessary driver. The programs recognises my phone. It even tells me that there is S/W update available for my phone. What could be the problem? Am I missing any setting on the phone that is restricting it from updating? Help me out please.
ok
1.first go to settings->applications->development-> now check usb debugging..
2. connect phone to computer
3. 2 notifications will pop up
4. turn on usb mass storage
5. do the usual steps necessary that u did before
Thank You so much it worked. The usb debugging option needed to be checked. But the mass storage option needed to remain unchecked. Its now updated to android 2.2.2. And contrary to what others have said about slowing down the system, I think it made my phone faster and snappier after the initial booting process. I highly recommend updating the phone to this version. And thanks for ur reply zeemar007.
There is one more thing I wanted to know. I have synced my contacts with google. and I have changed the settings in the display option to show contacts only in my gmail account. But still for certain contacts it shows the phone pc sync copy of the contacts as well while for some it don't. Cause of this the details of these contacts show the birthday twice with the same date. When I go to edit of these contacts it shows both gmail and phone pc sync. How do I correct it to show only Phone Pc sync. Even though all the contacts have a copy in the gmail account and in the phone this happens to only few contacts. What could be the issue? Is this some bug?

Hey guys, this is my first time starting a thread on this site, so please bear with me for a bit. Earlier today my S2 was working fine, i was browsing the net, chatting and etc. But when i started my "whats app" it started lagging for a bit, because i was chatting to a group. Then all of a sudden when i lock my phone and later on unlocked it, it said the phone was running on "Safe Mode". Soo i google'd "how to exit safe mode on galaxy" and it gave me a few solutions, one of them told me to switch off the phone and remove the battery for a minute. I did that, and all of a sudden when i unlock my phone, applications keep crashing including the interface itself ("TWLauncher" i guess that's its name) Soo please help me as i don't know much about this. My phone is not even rooted, i could manage to open the task manager but that's all. I can't even use the usb as it will crash again. All help would be greatly appreciated =)
*small update* I could access my settings and i could switch to the ics launcher but i still can't use the net and stuff =S
Basically I've noticed the default apps that comes with the phone are acting up :S

I can't do that really =S Because i have alot of important data on my phone, this problem came out of nowhere. I hope i could find a solution before referring to that
You have not backed up your data ??? Nor do you have a nandroid backup ???
If so you need to access the internal storage of the phone via USB mass storage and copy off what you can .
Alternative methods such as rooting and installing a no wipe custom rom will probably keep your data but void warranty .

If you are not worried about your applications you just do factory reset of the phone and try
settings/privacy/factory data reset
if you are not able to do this,
Volume Up + Home + Power brings your Phone into Recovery Mode.
Volume up: Highlight up
Volume down: Highlight down
Home: select
Power: back
select wipe data factory reset
if your phone keep crashing and you will not be able to factory reset... then you can did it from recovery mode from stock ..
Just hold power-menu-vol up from off condition then chooswl wipe data from recovery mode
if u thank me then i will thank you ( 이 승 기 )
Hi everyone,
I am in some trouble. I have accidentally deleted all my photos from my Samsung Galaxy S2 before a couple of hours. They were stored in Camera folder of my phone Gallery. Plus I have deleted one hidden folder as well which contained my personal data (videos) which was very important.
I know I should have been more careful, but I cant help it now. I searched on internet about how can I recover my lost data, but didn't come to any conclusion. Now, you guys on this forum are my last hope to get my data back if I can.
Is there ANY way its possible to recover the data that I have deleted? Please let me know guys, I need your expertise to resolve this problem.
I am having Samsung Galaxy S2 [GT-I9100 model] [ Android version: 2.3.3]
Thanks a million...
Hi. I want to help you and I help how much as possible so.
I see somewhere can you search in Google: how to recover deleted photos/data on android ?

Hi Jokesy,
Thanks a lot for the link. I went through it, I installed that software as well. but the problem is that, the software shows ONLY my computer hard drive. it just doesn't show my mobile disk.
Means, I have connected my mobile through the USB cable. So it shows "connected" on my mobile screen. But that software just doesn't pick it up. I can restore the files that I have deleted from my PC but not from my mobile. I haven't kept the option for USB debugging ON, its OFF. But I am not sure if that has anything to do with this. Because when I tried with USB debugging: ON, it still doesn't show my mobile storage in the software console. I don't have any external SD card, I have lost my data from my PHONE memory, the one we get inbuilt [11GB].
Is there a way I can make the software detect my phone memory and try to restore my deleted data? Any help would be appreciated

You need to connect your phone as mass storage.
Enable USB debugging under application settings, then reconnect your phone again to your Pc

I did that, but for some reasons, its just not showing my mobile as external storage. It just shows me 2 new drives like Removable Disk H: and Removable Disk I:. But when I click on them it asks me to "please insert a disk into drive". So basically when I do the debugging: ON, my phone is not getting detected a a storage unit. But on the phone it says that "USB Connected, select the files to copy from your computer". But the photorec software, still doesn't pick it up.
Is there anything that I am missing? Attaching the snapshots... :crying:
Do you really know how to use your mobile phone?
When you connect your phone, open your notification drawer and turn on USB storage!

Got it now, I am so sorry. Stressed up
Will let you know how it goes...
Way to copy & paste from here (Yes it was that obvious the words weren't yours).
When you deleted something in your phone, first remember not to use your phone again, including text, calling,and try to recover the data you want first. After that, you may use you phone.
I also recommend using google drive and google+. All my photos and videos are there. 15 gigs on standard and if you download quickoffice on your device and link with google drive u will receive another 5 or 10 gigs. I presume 20 -25 Gb is more than enough. The best part ? A good wi-fi connection and google drive installed on the PC and phone and you can access your files anywhere. Add astro file manager for transfering files from internal memory to google drive and viceversa.

Have you gone to Google play store and done a search for "undelete".
I have accidentally deleted stuff in the past and this worked for me. I can't remember which on I used... Will search and edit it in. undeleter by fahrbot. I even shelled out for the premium version. So must have liked it.
Hi all,
I may sound stupid with that title for this thread....I was recording a video and apparently my S3(32GB) went extremely low on storage and konked off. It used to freeze after every boot and just wouldn't move. (the screen along with the h/w buttons)
I tried connecting it to the laptop where I thought I could delete some stuff from the phone through the laptop but it just wasn't recognized. It showed charging but never connected. Tried all the drivers but didnt work. I cleared the cache in the recovery mode, connected in safe mode, download mode etc but the MTP driver never got installed. Eventually I had to do a factory reset. Its working fine now...but obviously I lost all my data...I really need the pics real bad. Is there any way I can retrieve them...? I tried a couple of recovery s/w but with no luck.
I'm using a GT I9300, 4.1.2, XXEMB6. kernel: 3.0.31-1071725.
Please help, those pics are really precious, from my own wedding and honeymoon (before I could take a backup this happened):crying:
No backup no Nandroid then no chance outside of a data recovery service .
See faqs and guides .

So here is what i suggest you do.
Since your phone is working fine now, and it can connect to a pc, try using a recovery software. Try not to fill your phone storage with clumps in the mean time. Nothing is ever really deleted unless it's overwritten by new data.
Try. ht tp :/ /w ww. ea se us .c om /d at ar ec ov er yw iz ar d/ fr ee -d at a- re co ve ry -s of tw ar e. ht m
Since i am new here, the rules doesn't really allow me to post links yet. Remove the spaces in between the link i posted
It used to pull out data from accidentally formatted USB drives, but then i consider my phone an external storage device.
Good luck and let us know
Cant without backup, sorry

I tried various softwares on the phone itself but nothing worked, couldnt run these softwares on my laptop coz the phone is connected to my laptop as a portable device & not a storage device, hence it is not picked up by the software as a drive that i want to scan.
Hello everyone!
I have a small problem that I would like to solve.
I have a Galaxy S3, who has a broken display and then completely unusable.
Now I want to recover the data within it, both from the internal memory to the external one. Most online guides always suggested to enable this blessed "USB debugging", but if the screen is broken, how do I activate it?
So I ask here on the forum, if anyone knows an alternative way to recover the data with broken display (which is not DrFone and companions).
I hope you can help me.
PS: I just found out that it is well locked (by pin or unlock). Therefore even more complicated
PROBLEM SOLVED:
Well folks, since no one responded, I help you!
The problem was solved in a very simple:
Practically we put the screen of another S3, this way of display we could see what we were doing.
Because it was locked with password, after we installed a revocery (CWM or TWRP) and have them mounted the internal memory on the PC (USB Storage Mount), transferred all the data. After we put in Download mode smartphone and a firmware put Odin to remove the block given by password or unlock pattern. Done all this, we then reset the cell as "new", mounted the old screen (the broken), and the end! The everything with simplicity and speed.
I hope to be of help. To ask questions!
