Hello devs, I'd like to restore my lil bro's photos from his dead system, he knows for sure that his internal memory is intact because suddenly the system has died on him. ((No system but stock recovery, download mod work))
He gave me his device and begged me to restore his files
So, here it says that I have a custom rom but he said he never flashed any rom?!
so how do I restore his files? Can I just flash a custom twrp recovery and mount USB from there or will that wipe his memory??
if so, then what do I do?
Thanks.
Philz recovery will allow you to run aroma file manager, installing a recovery won't wipe data.
Copy files from data to the external sd.

But what philz do I use if I don't know which stock rom was I in?
I had tried flashing a TWRP kernel from ODIN, it says fail
Hey
Philz is a recovery and that doesn't mind you using ROM..
You can try to flash it from Odin n pray it works..
Best Of Luck..

You seem to confuse the s3 with the s2, recovery on the s3 is wholly separate from the rom or kernel.
If you can't flash a recovery with odin then your emmc chip is probably toast, which would include all data on the phone.

ODIN says Failed: there is no PIT partition.
Is there a workaround?
Hey
Is RE-PARTITION unchecked??
And I hope u didn't include any pit file in odin...

Not ticked, and I didn't
There is no work around for data recovery, if the rescue firmware from general thread won't flash either then you are looking at a dead emmc chip -warranty repair.

First of all, i didn't find answer for my problem (I was looking for solution whole week) thats why I'm oppening new thread.
I have Galaxy S3 I9300 and I properly rooted it.
Then I putted CM10 .zip file onto internal memory.
I accidentaly pressed wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode before installing CM10 and it deleted CM10 .zip file.
And now i'm stuck and samsung logo.
Is there any way i can put files onto my phone?
If not, how to install rom through Odin?
Note: I can still access Recovery mode and Download mode.
Please help.

Hey,
I've got a rooted s3 (international).
Rebooted to cwm, factory reset + format system.
Went to flash new omega rom and realised it wasn't on the sdcard.
-Mount sdcard says e: error mounting /sdcard
-I can flash rom from internal memory (but it's not on there)
-I have an external sdcard with the rom on it, but it cannot be opened in cwm.
How can i fix this? Truly stuck.
Thanks

Try flashing via odin pc.. can you go to download mode??
from Godfather GT-N7100
TRIANGALE AWAY can make your WARRANTY STAY
hit thanks if you love your phone
The roms I have don't seem to be compatible with Odin.
Can I flash a rar file through Odin? Or do I unpack it?

you have to download a stock firmware from sammobile.com, its filetype is .tar.
And I'm pretty sure you mean zip, not rar. And no, zips can't be flashed via Odin.
Thanks mate.
Yeah, probably.

flash stock rom from sammobile (take 4.0.4) , if your phone stuck on boot logo just go into factory recovery and do wipe data factory reset
Hi! I have my Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 rooted and running the stock ROM and android 2.3.6. I have installed CWM recovery, and ROM manager. Now here is the issue. I have downloaded PAC ROM, CM 10.1, and CM 9. And none of them will install!! I am so confused... I try it manually with CWM and with ROM manager... Each time I wipe cache, data reset, and wipe dalvik cache if using manual CWM... So I have no idea why this shouldn't work! Please help me thank you!

Not to sure, but i think in order to go from stock to 10.1 you need to get cm9 in there first, same also assuming that you are trying the latest pac which is android 4.3. Can you list down your steps that you did in exact order? also assuming you did all the root and everything since you said you can boot into cwm.
Well here is what I have done.
1. Rooted the galaxy player with framaroot
2. Used Odin to flash a .tar file which gave me cwm
3. Downloaded all the Roms I said, two are on the SD card and 1 is on the internal storage
4. Installed Rom Manager
5. Have tried using ROM manager and just manually using CWM recovery to install each of the Roms.
6. ROM manager says the files don't exist(which they do)
7. Cwm recovery says an error occurred and its like "error or section 7" something like that... Why is this happening? It sounds like I'm doing everything right....

This post talks about recovering from being bricked but can be applied to getting a custom rom into you sgp5 in general. note the download link for Galaxy player bootloaders already contains odin the pit file and the tar file. this is however only to get it to cwm and install a rom you already have on sd card or internal memory. You would start on step 4 since your not bricked, past step 4 is just getting it into cwm to load roms.

your using cwm and choosing install zip and selecting the zip in its directory
Geez... OK, I can't be certain but I don't think ROM manager works for gp5. You need to flash a kernel that has cwm recovery such as entropy's daily driver. From there you can flash directly to cm10.1 or cm10.2 you just need to wipe everything first(including system)...

Well... finally now I was just trying again, and happened to actually remember to wipe /system, installed cyanogen mod 9 then to 10.2.

Hey guys! After doing a factory reset on my i9300 today, I was restoring the applications and titanium backup prompted me to reboot the device, which I did. Once I attempted to reboot the device, it was stuck in the CyanogenMod boot logo. I tried to use the ROM Manager, but the factory reset which I had done before had deleted it, so my only option is the download mode. Tried using Odin to reinstall the stock ROM but this always fails! So in short, my device is soft bricked, I have no access to anything except download manager, what can I do to get my phone working again?
Try and flash a custom recovery then reinstall a new ROM

Woops, sorry! Basically if I try put a stock ROM on it, using a .MD5 file, it fails! Also, trying to put a .tar file failed too... Don't know if this answers your question?
Where it fails was the question .
Your phone can't get bricked.
1.Reinstall USB drivers
2.Flash a new recovery through ODIN or flash the stock ROM
3.Enjoy.
Try booting in recovery by pressing Menu+VolumeDown+Power
