Hi All,
Actually I am in deep trouble because of my Galaxy Note now days. It is having TW Launcher error. I am totally unable to use my phone. It keeps restarting itself after every 10 sec. Everybody is giving me advice to Hard Reset / Factory Reset to my device. But my Major problem is that I have some very very important (almost 900 pics) saved in its internal memory. These pics are very very important for me and I do not want to loose these pics at all.
I am unable to take backup because its does not recognised by my or any other Laptop due to it restarting issue. This is the reason why I am not giving my mobile to any technician because no one is giving me any guarantee about my data. It is more than two weeks now, but I am still hoping that someone can solve this problem for me. In this forum I found some knowledgeable people so I get some light that someone from this forum can help me to resolve this issue. So please help me in this substance.
Thanks!!
formatting a phone does not erase you internal memory. you will just lose all your applications if it is installed in phone, contacts ( suppose its backed up in google so you can restore it later ) , and messages ( can backup easily try searching in market for applications which can backup messages ) .. whats your status? Are you rooted? if yes then go to recovery and try fixing permissions from there it should be in Advenced tab in recovery. GOOD LUCK!
yap internal sd storage has to be ersaed seperatly
so just reflash the rom via recovery
if u are rooted u may try to exchange your tw launcher with another version via adb or something

Hey guys.. after like 2 months i still havent figured out what to do after following thousands of guides..
I've tried rooting my hero but it stucks on downloading .boot.img = FAILED (remote:no access) or sth like that.. i have followed every step in like 20+ guides?and i always get the same error no matter what i do.. also the one-click flash rooting fails because from what i've been told i have an updated kernel (or how its called) version and it is fixed :/
any info u might want i am open to tell you (like my kernel version etc) i just dont know what u need to "solve" my problem ;d just ask!
i just want to root it so i can have apps on my sd, bluetooth and nothing else

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559613 i have a newer version of hero and i've been told that the flashrec is patched on mine ;/ is it possible or? i couldnt do the guide (some options werent there atleast)
bump
so i somehow managed to downgrade my hero, flash it through recovery and i can access the new menu from home + power button but it still says am not rooted... any ideas?:/
You have achieved major hurdles.
To get root you have to flash rooted rom like Mocado's. I have v2.8 which I think has everything I wanted. You can have your own choice>>>
http://www.thei.tguy.co.uk/hero/Older 'Updates'/
if i flash a rom do i loose my messages/contacts if i DONT backup?also can i partition my SD without rooting? and i have already tried Amon Ra with better terminal emulator but it fails ;d btw if possible try pm me
f--k this-.-
after all the good progress i've had..
i managed to root it, partition my SD and when i tried to move my apps it, midway, it asked me to restart my device..so i did.. and now all my apps are gone, factory reset has been made, contacts are lost, messages are lost..almost EVERYTHING is lost apart from application shortucts-.- :S i have made a backup but i dont know how to use it (lol-.-) pls reply
freaking p----ed...
sry for all the bumpness.. really in need of help
whenever i try to fastboot it says not allowed..and am about to cry..
stupid nandroid backup cant get it to work! pls help!
You flashed Amons recovery... With it you can format and partition sd card, and flash rom of your choice.
Yes you loose everything when flashing rom. You could have copied your contact on sim or sd, same for applications. You can reinstall but a word of advice,
Do your wipes first, I mean to ensure smooth running of rom. Hope it helps.
And when not sure please read, read and read, we are all here to help one another. Regards.
how can i do a backup for my contacts and messages? i have the .img files ;/
when i fastboot it says remote: not allow
also htc sync doesnt work now
and when i restore from recovery boot it says nandroid mobile sh failed run via console ;/
No dont flash .img.
Re- restoring contacts, I dont know any easy way but all your sim contacts can be copied. All phone contacts will have been wiped ,that swhat happenes when we install new os.
i thought it was the other way around and i copied everything on my mobile.. lol..
anw doesnt matter ;d just had 40 contacts anw ;d
can i restore messages, application saves and application folders at least? btw my phone aint working on htc sync now ROMS are still on btw
and how can i correctly partition my SD so any application i add it is saved on SD?thx ;d
Just one thing. Refrain from using foul languages as this forum is open to all ages of members and it will also reflect bad on you.
Install something like Astro, open it ,click menu and go from there to back up all your installed apps.
yeah sry forgot :/
will edit it right away
also thats what i mean, all my apps and their saves/settings are on backup.imgs :/ my hero is like a brand new one with modaco installed and nothing else... and htc sync doesnt load it, although i can use mass storage
Back up images are actually of rom itself. Sorry I dont know how to reinstate sms messages. This questiones was asked by a friend about his iPhone and again I couldnt answer as I never owned iPhone.
Anybody out there to answer question raised in above post?
meh doesnt matter i guess
i'll just "rebuild" it from scratch ;/
just wanna know what to do now so i get a partition on my SD.. i have a 2gb card which was partitioned before but i restored it.. i want 2 things
1) howto partition it for automatic saving apps on SD! and not having to move them everytime
2) how to make HTC sync works -.- i think i "broke" it:S i reinstalled it 4 times so far..nothing..
1) Format and partition feature s in your recovery. Format the whole card as fat32 and next make partition but again you will loose everything on card! After that you will need to mount your sd card ( option in recovery) so that you can put copy back everything on it. But why do you want to do it if everything is working?
2) Do you see ADB in system properties? If yes, drivers are installed correctly.
It is worth browsing Dream forums as Dream was first Android phone hence more to read and almost all can be related to Magic and Hero units operational practices except rooting and flashing bits.
one last thing man
atm i am looking for another application to connect to my hero to install other apks :/ currently i have apps2sd on hero although and i was wondering if all i have to do is Copy apps to SD and thats all? (whats dalvik cache that asks me to copy btw?)
i asked about formating and partitioning cause i am getting an 8gb in a few days and i was wondering if i should do it like that
and no i cant see ADB in system properties ;o how can i install the drivers ;/
1) i've read that modaco doesnt work with HTC sync anymore sometimes.. so i was wondering if there is anyway i can install apk without htc sync?
(tried with adb had 2 different errors)
2)is there anyway to like load 2-3 roms and swap between them without loosing anything? (if yes, how)
thx
edit: i reinstall htc sync and my drivers are gone! cant get them back..my pc doesnt even load APK files! :S
Everytime my phone is rebooted or crashes after days of use without reboot, some apps for sure will be removed randomly. Specially new ones. Apps which hav been there for long stays.
IM+ lite is a must to be removed everytime.
Recently zedge which has been there for long time just got removed.
Android seems like a mess, apps which get removed, their data stays, n I manually uninstall all of them, n then do a corps cleanup with sd maid. Bt after a reboot, all of the data comes back n I have to uninstall them again.
Its being a very big problem. I cant restart my phone without loosing some apps n data. Please help. I hope ICS has a better app structure, n im willing to do a fresh start there... But I must be able to transfer my "EasyMoney" data to the new rom. It has all my money tranctions.
Plz help, thanks alot...

Reads as its wiping them from the sd card .
Android seems like a mess,
More like your phone not Android as this is not a normal problem .
I would backup all data apps etc .
Factory reset the phone and try
This reads like a corrupt sd card or similar .
After that who knows what your phone firmware is
original firmware return to Samsung service .
Rooted firmware try
....................................
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Still problems use usb jig to set rom counter to zero .
Return to service centre .

I just rooted my phone using CF-Root. Because its closest to stock. Did nothing else.
Will a factory reset remove root?
Does anyone know if ICS for samsung gs2 is releases or not?
Thanks...

No its embedded in the kernel if its a kernel root .

Think if you read the ten million posts on ICS is released you will have a better idea .

Thanks alot... I used to think after installing SPB Shell 3D and using lucky patcher to patch SPB, caused the problem to start. But I just removed SPB and installed Launcher Pro, and similar probles still exist. Spb nor launcher pro starts properly, have to keep force closing after startup. So am using TouchWiz (hate it)... The problem feels like its related to my SD Card... Maybe I installed too many apps to SD. Currently have about 310 apps all together... So ill just backup my easymoney app data n few sms, pics, musiz etc n just do a factory reset n install SPB...lets see what happens...
Thanks alot...

Hello everybody!!!
Firstly sorry to all for my english, is very poor
This is my first post.... and i need you....
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 with 2.3.4 version and before i had a Iphone 3Gs. I like more my SGS2.
Two weeks ago, after finished the battery, I connected to charge and turn on. In the screen appear message... "internal sd card corrupted"... I searched for information on the internet but i don't found the solution... Now i know exist this :_(
My phone told me format the internal sd and I did...
Now my phone works fine, but I had a lot of pictures and videos of my little daughter that i want to recover, but it is impossible mission.
I don't install news apps, i don't update that i have and i have not made new photos. Only tweeter, facebook, pulse, mail, messages with whatsapp and navigation internet web pages
I have downloaded many programs for recovery data, recovery sd.... as Recova, pandora, Minitool, Wondershare, Zero, Rremo, Card Recovery, Foremost, and other many programs but not luck. Only recover new temporal photos (of the navigation)
Can i recover my old photos? is possible? how can i do?
Thank you a lot for your aportation!!!!
Regards
Ragnoon
First u posted in the wrong thread so soon ur going to receive a ****storm by others
Secondly i don't think so,personally i was going to suggest recova,once i deleted a doc and worked but it didn't work with u then dunnoi really feel sry for u cause once i lost my mobile ,had lots of family photos etc in it which where invaluable to me
bartoloandre98, where is the best thread for my post?
Thanks
wats gone is gone if ur rooted ,then there r apps tht u already used....so forget on wats lost cause u formatted ur sd tooo....
issue closed
what?
cant I recover my files?
I don't understand your post...
One try RECUVA that fails thare are other file recovery tools available to purchase .Recover on PC via card reader not via phone .
However as you have tried then thats it you have no other choice but to contact a Data Recovery company and ask how much it will cost . It is an expensive job that may not succeed .
PS your English is ok and far better than the post you dont understand .
jje
Thank you very much @JJEgan
but I don't want to lose my photos...
I even downloaded two applications of the google play to retrieve the data .... but no luck
I know it does not help now, but going forward link your account to Google + and picasa and you can auto upload pictures everytime you take them, so if you do lose your phone or corrupt it then at least you have pictures/videos
Download restorer pro 2000, I use it regularly, worked on internal storage to few days back
Sent from my GT-I9100
If you did not yet try 'PhotoRec' then you should do. It is free and I was more then once able to recover photos in cases where any other software I tried failed - you have nothing to loose
Hello everyone!!!
evilghostrider, I have not uploaded the photos on Google+ because my data rate consumed.
atifsh and fxrb, thanks to his contribution, but could not recover my files....
I begin to think that I can not retrieve my files... :_(
Any idea?
Thanks a lot to all!!!
how and where did you get restorer 2000 pro?
did you run it properly.
when you install it, you have to scan the internal storage. you can also set the options to just scan for jpeg.
and first rule is do not write anything on the drive you want to recover from, so stop installing stuff on your phone.
Hi all, I think that none of you have ever had a problem like this.
Then I point out that fortunately this is not my phone but a friend ...
let's go S2 firmware 2.3.3 Tim
BASEBAND VER I9100XXKDJ
VER KERNEL-2.6.35.7-CL186662 dpi @ I9100AIKE1 ANDROIDBUILDERDELL # 2
NUM BUILD GINGERBREAD.AIKE1
In short, the problem is this impossible to do a factory reset, do not wipe data factory reset, can not change firmware via Odin I tried various versions of both Tim that no brand, nothing to do.
regarding the various attempts to make the root nothing to do does not see the sd card and then can not upload files to sd and perform root through recovery.
The strangest thing, and that if something in the internal memory gate manually after rebooting everything back then all this me angry.
I gave up so I hope your a real help ...
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me ..
Marcello

Meanwhile, many thanks to the one person who gave me help, but I must say that I could not solve my problem.
We try to do a bit of clarity on the issue, I have basically a Galaxy S2 in the hands of a friend, the problem is as absurd and that if I try in any way to format the internal memory, the one that you do not format usb to speak ....
Tried all the various methods found on the net that is factory wipe data then format memory by connecting PC, reset to factory settings, I even tried to install a rom updated Brand Tim is that no brand via odin, tried updating via Kyes ...
Nothing I even tried to delete pictures and various files installed one by one, each time you restart back to business as usual.
The thing that impresses me and that if I try to format the memory cell via the usb on the internal management of the settings from just after the formatting immediately returns to the space that was occupied before formatting ...
I do not know what to do, ask for a help from those who know best the language of Android, so you know if there is a possibility that you have created an auxiliary memory in the form of protection to prevent the loss of important data.
Of course, since fortunately the cell is not my friend but as I said before I riportaglielo at least in the same situation that it took, so I can operate, but with a certain amount of risk because the cell is no longer covered by warranty .
To aid you in advance thank you very much to all of you ...
add
Guys nothing to do, I can not in any way to fix this damn s2 I tried to install more rom via Odin I also tried installing pit csc pda. With. Flag of re-partition.
All times Odin has regularly completed all ok but when you restart the cell and as usual, the usual photo usual programs etc etc..
I think this is really a mystery, as if there is a program that can create an image file of the operating system and every time you start the restore.
I forgot one important thing if you go into recovery, I do not compare external memory or external storage true.
Especially because of this I can not do the fundamental root to try a cooked rom ...
I hope in a help of a wizard once and for all to solve this puzzle.
Thank you all.
Hi everyone
I'm facing a very annoying problem. my Atrix show and explain the problem to me even though I telephonist is all programmatically, they said I need to format but I think I have hardware.
When I turn off my phone every December 6 turns. For example, when I delete one to two applications, photograph shoot, when I reboot the phone by the programs have come back, if my photography is gone, WhatsApp My speech is going back to December 6.Connect the phone to the PC in the same way music, rom, etc. when I threw the zip file .. usb disconnect the look of the phone seems to have deleted files, seems to throw more precisely, I cant go to the factory settings, I cant format sd card.Fastboot mode operations such as hard reset formats'm doing. When he opened successfully but says does not change anything from December 6 phone again Cwm in the mount process data, cache, system, Preinstall, gives an error when formatting. Original GB Stock ROM flashing with RSD, but the phone while flashing process is going repositionable 6 december. Most application itself off, the process terminates, etc.. In short, I can not do any operation with built-in storage, screwing with my head.
Restore backup operation did with cm7 but it did not work .. I'm going crazy I stayed at this rate
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
Checking MD5 sums ...
Erasing boot before restore ...
Restoring boot image ...
Restoring system ...
Restoring data ...
Error while formatting / data!

such remains. All unmount / mount have repeatedly tried by .. There's nothing changing.
motorola turkey on the forum topic I said like a friend;
data partition in a way locked there is no problem, linux to interfere with necessary, the easiest services to take, If it fails either of these issues knows linux expert to find, or the phone to open the internal mmc card, remove the atrix in accordance with partitioned, separating reformat back will wear a hardware specialist you need to find. Or one of them will make an application in android professional applications because newly started dating, they needed to find an application that partition control.

I hope you can help me and understand. :silly:
Greetings from Turkey !
That was hard to understand, being a non-native english speaker
Please, after recovery fails to write /data, go to main menu-> advance-> show log. There will be the cause of the error.
Hit the damn thanks button instead!
