Use PhilZ recovery to backup phone memory it as a Aroma installer option where you can browse internal card and copy and backup files.You need to install PhilZ then install the aroma option separately see here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 << see post three about Aroma option and how to use....
As for your other problems I would probably try a factory reset in recovery after backing up your files..

i forget to mention phone is updated to 4.3 thats why coming this kind of problem...is it okay to install this aroma? no conflict?

I've never been able to get my Kies to work successfully, thanks for the post.

Kies not working

Kies is not working after upgrading to latest OTA. It never worked over USB but workedover over WiFi. Now it says something along "Sim card not inserted". So I cannot put my music in my tablet... Is there any other method to transfer files???
Sent from my SGT10.1 using XDA Premium
IDK if this will help, but you could try using a 3rd party storage system such as dropbox, but it will take longer as you have to upload the files from PC/Computer to dropbox, then download them onto your tab... check what build number you have (setting>about device) as that can also help iidentify you're problem (I had my own problem with Kies, solved by a thread called "Messed up by Android 3.2? Here's a way back." (i am not allowed to post links, sorry just google it))
I had a problem with build P7510UEKGM (or something like that)
Maybe even try the troubleshooting feature on the usb mode of Kies?
Hope I could help
Kies is a program that often fails, I have read numerous posts about people having to reinstall Kies 3/4 times in order to get it working again properly for their device.
Try to reinstall or try to remove your drivers from your pc, install Kies, and it's drivers, when you connect the tab again.

[Q] Phone keeps crashing, unable to open anything!

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 )

[Q] HELP: How to recover lost data from Samsung Galaxy S2?

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.

[Q] Android 2.2 home launcher deleted

Dear All,
I have accidently deleted the Home launcher app of my Android 2.2 mobile (Chinese H3000 model); as a result it is not going beyond the screen saver at all, the screen just turns blank with no widgets/shortcuts/buttons appearing at all!
Although it rings & receives calls when called.
I have already tried factory reset option.
Can anyone help me resolve this problem

Dear Mr Akshay,
Thanks for responding but none of the two options work - Couldn't see play store in the launch on pressing & holding Home key; was able to access play store via gmail login on my PC & tried downloading - the message did appear that it will be loaded shortly on the device but thereafter nothing on the Phone. The main problem is that I'm not getting any menu buttons at all, it's only a blank screen as soon as I unlock the screen saver i.e I have no settings button or any other button. While connected to PC only the sd card gets read in the windows explorer on PC, but there's way to open sd card on phone!

Missing launcher fixed!
Hello to all!
I note a lot of inquires on this site many of users using programs's like Titanium backup and other "advance" users just deleted Launcher as soon is they get there hands on the root!
Then they find out that they can see only black screen. Many of you try to replace it with dozen of software's but find out that Debugging mode is off. And is no way that can be enabled.
Well not all that bad as it shows. Firs at all if you are still log in to your Google app go to your account on Google go to apps and download, it will stated online that item is available on your phone now it over, top bar you can see it and install it come to the phone via Ethernet - WiFi or 4G.
If you already reset your phone or hard reset and you still see the black screen watch my video on how to get launcher in to your phone very simple, using dongle, other Bluetooth enabled laptop or smart phone!

I has face the same problem as you and i has done it right way
Since you has root your android phone,I know that you are very excited to remove those unusefull apps same as me.I got the same problem as you that I also used China Mobile phone and can't done any of the suggestion here(suggested such as flash those .zip in recovery) that won't work on china mobile type.When I has delete my home launcher,one thing for sure,the screen is black after turned on and I did reset factory data in recovery mode(worst move ever cause my wifi connected password has totally gone).So,my first effort was I take my moms tablet and start downloading any launcher (.apk) .Okay,since before I get into black screen,If I press lock key,the ring menu will appear right?.I used those ring menu as a door to get into my bluetooth connection.At the ring menu,I drag it towards 'camera',and then click on the pictures that you have captured(gallery in camera).Just pick any random photo and click share (via bluetooth) after that,I send a photo to my moms tablet(actually just to make pairing cause can't go to bluetooth settings).After paired,I try to send the home launcher.apk from my moms tablet using bluetooth connection that has been paired this before.Eventually,after receive the apk file,I can't open it.It says "no application can perform this action"(but,maybe you should try it first.Maybe it'll work on you.If not, try another one of my step).So,I was frustrated having an unsolved solutions through internet source information and I almost dump my phone in the dustbin.But then,I try another way.This time,I use the same door/way(through camera in ring menu).But this time I try to send through gmail(I don't think that I have any wifi or data connection after reset factory data eh?!).But boom !! The idea comes to me that I try to send the photo through gmail account just to make a wifi connection(again,because I can't go to settings).So,after I try to send it through gmail,the Sign-In screen will appear(but remember,I don't have any wifi/data connected.What I'm going to do?!!).I just filled in my email and password and click Sign-In.Of course the connection can't be made because there is no connection at all.But the trick is,when you wait for a few seconds,you will be asked to make a wifi connection(automatically the wifi around you appear in the list).So,make a connection through any wifi and sign-in(yeay!!connection established !).After that,I try to send home launcher.apk through gmail using my mom's tablet to my phone and a few moments later you will get a gmail notification through notification bar.Click on it,and click install.There you go.You are safe again.

This was the closest, but still didn't work for me. Unfortunately, any launcher I try to install gets the "X Application not installed" error.

Xperia Go could not use storage due to USB detected

Recently My phone suddenly could not do anything relate to the storage, I can not view album, it says there is nothing there, I can not find picture, can not take picture and post to Facebook or something, when i clicked into PhoTo in Facebook app , i got a pop up:
Your computer detected a USB cord and locked your phone for storage. Please disconnect the cord to see your photos
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
. And into Gallery it says found nothing .
All i guessing is my storage (sdcard and ext_card) have been locked because it detected a USB connection. I try alot of methods even wipe all date, install a new ROM.
It happened since i uninstall Mcafee antivirus by titanium backup ( or may be something else , just guessing ) I tried to reinstall it again and nothing happend, still locked.
I try to search the internet and may be i am the only one fooling around with this bug. Any idea please?
hey
Anyone Pleaseee!
