I just received this phone and tried to root it but I can't seem to access the part where you install the file from the SD card. I saw on the net press power+volume(I press both)+home but I always go to factory test mode.
The options was a couple of test, clear emmc, version and reboot
By the way I have a 4.2.1 version
Hope u could help me thanks in advance

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

If you are not bothered about your installed apps and data and you can manage to go to settings/ Privacy / Factory Data reset.....have a try

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 .

Problem is, i never backed up my data =S
And i can't access the USB mass storage, the thing keeps crashing and telling me to "force close" even if i try reporting the wifi isn't connecting to the network soo things are really messed up =S
I don't mind rooting my phone, as long as you could provide me a step by step guide on how to root my phone without loosing my data.

if you are still not able to access your phone from PC, then you can copy and paste your stuffs to external SD using "my files".

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 all,
is very time using cyano 10.1, JELLY BAM and other ROM I have this problem and no one knows me or my answer to this problem in the forum in Italy;
Very often my cel starts without find the internal SD, I try to restart a few times until it works ... but seems more like a game of Russian roulette that a valid explanation, each time you start without finding RECOVERY am in the cache and the system uMOUNT obviously put them MOUNT but it is said that at the next restart functions .... and even if I go back to recovery me find them again UNMOUNT;
What do you think can be??
Thank you all and I hope that someone else has had this problem if my no is the right time to change phone;
Hello,
So recently I got lack of internal memory(it is only 512MB though) and I tried to swap internal memory with microSD(marked as sdcard2). However, Im noob in this and after changing the lines I understood, that I changed sdcard with sdcard2(swapped sdcard and sdcard2), however, my android system seems to be not working now. I can boot and access settings, but thats all. No menu, no apps, no anything. Empty screen, only settings accessible. I cannot access any files or anything...
What I tried:
- Connecting phone to PC as I have Android Commander program which can browse system files from pc, unfortunately, failed to connect.
- Factory reset. Didnt help.
- Recovery mode - tried all options that are available, didnt work.
The phone is Prestigio Multiphone PAP4300 DUO. If there is any solution to that problem, please help. When I boot to the phone, I unlock it and I get many messages saying com.android.phone, system and such things stopped working. When pressing HOME button, it goes to home, but its empty(empty screen) and tells Launcher stopped working too. All I can do is access the settings. Cant call anyone though.
Please, give me a solution or tell me what to say to warranty service when I will bring the phone to them. Can they recognize that its rooted/that the vold.fstab file is modified?
Specs:

That looks to be white, but mine is black.
I rooted it only. Havent done any changes to the phone until yesterday - swap the memories.
Thanks in advice,

Hard way to learn the lesson that it's a bad idea to make changes to the system without having a custom recovery and a nandroid backup, hmm? Depending on how comfortable you are with using adb commands and if your tablet has r/w access, you could mount the system, pull the vold.fstab, undo the changes, push back, and set permissions. Can be a hassle though. Did you make a backup of the original file? But probably better served either reloading the stock OS with SP Flash Tools or see if there is a custom recovery / rom to flash for your device.

Hello, thanks for the help. I brought the phone to warranty service, they fixed it after first day.
Hello!
I´m searching for a solution to get all the photos and videos from my phone, mostly from my 4-year old son, everything since xmas...
One morning after deactivating the flight-mode it said "USB storage damaged" and I can´t access to my data per phone or PC. Removed the SD-card and it worked on the PC, but still can´t access to the data on the phone.
I really searched a lot of time to get solutions for this problems, and I found many threads where people had the same problem and fixed it. But to say it frankly; I don´t know the language they are speaking Flash this, pit that, cwm there..... When I bought my phone I stick a foil on the display, that´s the only mod I did.
I would love to get a step-by-step manual to solve my problem, because I´m realy desperate about losing the photos and videos of my son.
My phone is a GT-I9100, Android Version 2.3.5
Thanks in advance for your help and best regards from Austria!
Can no one help?
Hi, Just want to say that I'm not a pro, but I'll try to answer you anyway. I'm not responsable for anything, it is better if you wait until a pro answers.
I just searched the net for solutions:
1) Forget the videos of your son and format internal SD card
2) The more complicated way:
-Root the phone (I used Kingo Root, just install on PC and follow instructions http://www.chip.de/downloads/Kingo-Root_74198280.html )
-If you rooted your phone, follow this steps: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/galaxys2-i9100-root-android412-jellybean-install-clockworkmod-445008
Look at the point "Install CWM recovery".
-Reboot to recovery, go to "mounts and storage" and select "mount USB storage". Now try if you can connect and copy files to PC or use a data recover software like Recuva.
-To get your storage working again, you have to format it (for example at "Safety" in settings of Android).
I hope this helps. Liebe Grüße aus WIen
My phone is a (cheap) Wiko Ozzy. I know it's not the greatest machine ever but it does the job for my mobile needs (being able to quick search the internet everywhere and communications), it was only 80€ new and it comes with no bloatware but google's. Also to root it a simple framaroot run does the job.
I have the phone customized alot, many xposed tweaks, automate, nova laucher, gravity box. The rom is the stock 4.2.2
One day I was messing up with android tweaker 2 and changed the dalvik heap size. When I reboot it the did not boot... It had that vibration key feedback problem. lol....
I went into recovery mode and made a backup... Yes, I did not had one and made it after the boot problem.
For my luck Wiko has a website with the roms they put on phones for download. With a simple program you can reinstall the rom very easily. I did it and my phone booted. I then tried to restore the backup I had previously done and for my surprise it boot with all my customizations but root access and busybox that I had to reinstall.
So what is the problem you ask?
Well I lost access to the phone storage and now It says Im out of space when I try to install apps
I used to have SDcard, Internal Storage and Phone Storage.
And I used to have the option to default install on sdcard and phone storage. The phone storage option disappeared but on the bottom of the page there is a mount option for it that just wont work.
I also tried to access it on windows and even after formatting the phone storage drive (windows was prompting for it and since the phone worked all fine without access to it I did it) the problem persisted...
Can you help me please?
I wanted to make the apps install on phone storage without having to make a real factory reset so I dont end without all my tweaks...
No one have any ideas?
I dont know what more can I add...
The phone is working fine... the only thing missing is one of the three partitions I had before the reinstall...
The weirdest to me is that in the storage settings I have the option to mount the "Phone Storage" but it fails.
I click it and the bars for type of files appears and disappears a few seconds later with the notification: you can safely remove phone storage....
Now I cant even install Adobe Air to try .swf viewer because it says it is out of space... It's like it ignores the sdcard default install option (the only one I have now and that is selected).
