Doh!
I started a factory reset on my phone, then realised I still had unsaved precious holiday photos on the device.
I removed the battery almost instantly after pressing the reset button, thus stopping the process. The mobile is connected to a PC by USB, but of course without the battery in place there is no way of viewing and transferring files on the phone. When the battery is replaced, the factory reset process continues where it left off - on the "deleting files" screen.
So-
1. Is there any way to stop or interrupt the factory reset process?
2. Is there any way to retrieve the photos/files whilst the reset is frozen with the battery removed?
3. If the files cannot be recovered by normal operation of the phone, can they be recovered by a specialist company from the deactivated phone?
Phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 Duos (dual-SIM) GT-i9300i
Android will be stock current version.
Thanks for any help!
Bump.
Additional question:
Whats a recommended recovery utility to try and recover files after a factory reset?
Thx
Hello buddy, so when do a factory reset in any device is impossible to stop it. You 'll lose all your files. Is very important to do back ups in many memories card or in an app (Google drive).
I auto-back up all files except photos (to stop very large files being auto-copied to other devices by Google/Dropbox, etc) and normally just transfer each batch of photos to a server archive.
On this occasion I was just looking at the factory reset options, and off it went (screen is somewhat over-sensitive on this phone) - not even a warning dialogue, as on other devices and versions.
If it can't be stopped, then my only hope is to run a retrieval programme as soon as the phone has finished rebooting. Hence my question about what is the best/most successful data retrieval application that people recommend?

I am afraid that data retrieval is impossible since you haven't made some sort of backup and have deleted everything by factory resetting. Sorry buddy.

Dont get so worried. Wiping data partition doesnt delete /data/media. Which means your photos , videos , downloads is still there. Which recovery do you use ?

My appologies for this post. Probably this problem is being dealt before on this forum but cant seem to find a solution to mine.
hi, i have a samsung s3 32gb (original stock unrooted).
Problem my space was running low on my s3. And while shooting a video, the space ran out and the phone froze. then i tried to end the video but obviously the screen was frozen.
After that i tried to reboot the phone but it came to the home screen, and couldnt press anything. (i only can drag the top bar down and that's it, it doesnt come back up).
i tried soft reset, didnt work. i tried to boot in safe mode, it doesnt work (it get stuck at the samsung logo). download and recovery mode works fine.
when i connect it to the pc, in device manager i get under Portable Devices (MTP USB device with a yellow triangle and ! mark). obviously KIES doesnt recognise anything connected.
After reading lot of posts, i installed 'android-sdk' and ran 'adb.exe' in cmd.
adb devices shows my device ; i can see all the directories on my phone.
when i try to copy, move or delete any files from the phone to my pc to empty the phone storage, i get this message "device not found".
i dont wanna lose my pics and videos +data (no backup). ANY HELP GUYS???

Try clearing cache and dalvik. If it doesn't work, u might have to factory reset which deletes ur data. Since android-sdk doesn't work anymore and kies too. There is no way to back up ur data. Ur only hope is tat clearing cache and dalvik works.

pictures and videos are stored on the internal sdcard, so they are save even if you decide to wipe your data.
you will only lose your app data and settings
but try first the suggestion from the post above

if you are referring to clearing the cache that is in the recovery mode. i already cleared the cache and still same thing happening.
can you explain 'dalvik' ? what to do step by step if possible
Also you mentioned that android-sdk is not working, (it is true ) but how come i can still see all my phone contents ?

if you are referring to the factory reset inside the "settings" menu in the phone, i think it would be true (the pics & videos wont be affected)
but if you are referring to the reset in the recovery mode. i think that will format everything including my personal data (pics & videos) and return the phone to a factory state (which is how it was new). isnt the OS and data are on the internal sdcard as well ?
Their comments refer to a custom recovery, e.g Philz, where you can clear dalvik and also mount your storage for usb access.
I think you have bigger problems, the phone should not have frozen as you describe and you many have partition corruption.
There are step by step guides on how to install custom recovery in general forum, stickies. It will invalidate your warranty, which might not be a good idea if you need a new motherboard.

Hello, my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Wifi tablet is stuck on a restart loop. While I've encountered restart loops in the past, and found that resetting to factory settings usually fixes it, this issue in particular has left me speechless.
Firstly, the tablet boots up to the lock screen. I can get through the lockscreen and either sit around on the homescreen or fiddle around with apps - but only for a minute or so, or longer (it's quite unpredictable) because after some arbitrary period of time, the tablet will automatically restart itself. Basically, it automatically restarts itself after booting up to the lock/homescreen.
What I've noticed, as a result of these restarts, is that the tablet doesn't save any settings I've modified prior to the automatic restart. Like, say if I were to remove a widget off my homescreen; after the restart, the widget is still there, having reverted itself back onto my screen. Additionally, things like Wifi and Bluetooth revert themselves back to their original on/off positions after every restart.
Secondly, I can enter recovery mode just fine. HOWEVER ... attempting to backup my device with CWM Recovery causes the tablet to restart itself, cancelling the backup and just flat out screwing me over. The tablet manages to do the following, telling me this: backing up boot image, back up recovery image, back up system, free space, done freeing space. Then after that, it starts backing up other things, but after that, it restarts unpredictably while it's doing so. I haven't tried 'backup to Micro SD ' yet (mostly because I don't have any empty Micro SD Cards) but I'll try that later today - though I doubt that'll work.
Lastly, I've tried just plugging in my tablet to my computer, and dragging and dropping my files onto my desktop, but the tablet doesn't seem to respond to anything. Attempting to copy and paste anything results in an 'Unspecified Error' message on my PC, and the copying process aborts itself.
So with all this said: how the hell do I backup my tablet? I think a factory reset can fix this, but I can't even BACK UP my files because Recovery Mode is seemingly susceptible to this omnipotent restart loop.
Are there any fixes to this, other than a factory reset? I'm on the verge of just saying 'f it' and wipe my tablet anyways, but if my files ... which includes my notes for my classes (-.-) can be saved, I'll try it.
Okay, so I managed to get CWM Recovery to backup my stuff on my external Micro SD Card ....
... but when I try to Wipe Data/Factory Reset it doesn't work ... it doesn't wipe anything. When I reboot, Cyanogenmod is still there, my lockscreen settings are still active, my homescreens are still there - the reset didn't do anything.
How do I wipe my device, now if CWM won't do it? Arrrghhh .... somebody help ;_;
Since I can't move my documents, pictures, music, etc from my internal memory to my PC, I would rather not wipe the device fully.
I think the only way would be to reflash using ODIN. But this will likely lose all data.
Also, I think you need to be in this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/help
Hello
On Galaxy S9+ in recovery menu I can find function called "Lacking storage booting". Someone know what this function do ?
Mine too igot confuse what is this for?Lacking Storage Booting
ive been trying to get info for a whilenow including asking sammy multiple times..
what I gather is, if your storage is full to the point you are having device issues or boot looping you enable that option which does something to where you can boot up and save some of your files.. it isnt a permanent fix as it suggests you should do a reset after u get ur files off
Hi,
I have used "Lacking Storage Booting" option for more than 5 times but I didn't found any lag/misbehave after using it (without factory resetting) & performance was the same all the time. This happened with me but if with you it lags then perform a factory reset.
1) However, this is supposed to be used when your mobile is having any booting problem or heavy storage issues.
2) This option is used when you need to get your storage access as Samsung says to backup your documents you want when mobile boots and perform a factory reset.
Even your Galaxy have no booting problem you can use "storage lack booting" without any problem (proved on my S9+).
Samsung claims that resetting should be placed just because for future steps to prevent any possiblity of issues which do not occurs but they have to think forward for the POSSIBILITIES.
One thing more, later on instead resetting the device you can also do instead of resetting and after using "storage lack booting":
* Delete documents from your phone (S9+)
* Go to recovery mode
* Mount/system
* clear cache
I hope this helped.

No Bro, you won't loss anything on your device and even your phone's lock screen won't be affected (By this I mean that your phone would as Like it was).
However, Samsung says "Your Phone might get slow if you use Storage Lack Booting" but only if your storage is full or nearly full. You won't loss any data and this function base is to protect data and not to delete them.
Examples:
1) Your Phone has storage (127/128 GB), and you use "Storage lack booting" so for me the phone was not laggy but if you found your phone laggy restart it thrice and go to RECOVERY MODE and select clear cache.
2) Personally, for me this feature is not beneficial as this feature is for if you can boot into your phone so use it but WAIT I had my S7 with its peak storage full 32/32GB but everyday I restart, power off, dead it but still it is working.
3) Personally, for no reason I have used "Storage lack booting" more than 15 times and I performed speed test from all perspectives and felt the same speed response (all speeding was tested approx and the net-total was all approx and and yeah whenever if your phone is not turning on use this feature and when you will use then it might be laggy but till when its not errupting booting up it won't lag by using it.
* First time , When I used STORAGE LACK BOOTING I was little scared but then I thought did I purchased this phone for being scared.
* At First day, when I purchased this phone, I was scared to test water resistance, but Then I thought did I purchased a NEW phone for being scared. So i just threw it in a pool of 5 meter depth and yeah when I threw it, i belived it won't disturb me and is water resistance.
So bro, everyday learn something, experience it and surley if you are using Samsung orignal version it won't distrub your phone.

THIS IS AWESOME!
actually here is my situation, I'm just really scared to lose my pictures lol so please bear with me.
My phone is actually locked with PIN Code 4 digits, cant remember the code. its been like this 5 days now.
so my question is this: Can I do~
1. Boot to recovery mode.
2. Do the Lacking Storage Booting, so that it will save my data on my SD Card.
3. Perform Factory Reset so that my phone will be unlocked from the PIN Code that I dont remember anymore.
4. Restore the files from the SD card.
Please correct me if these steps are wrong.
Totally Odd Situation For ME!

For me it's an odd situation because I never went through a locked phone because I have my Samsung account signed in my Galaxy and so when I forget the code I simply go to Samsung Find My Mobile Website and unlock my phone from there. So What I know about this situation is:
1) If you signed your SAMSUNG ACCOUNT in your phone so UNLOCK your phone from the SAMSUNG website.
2) Your Data would definitely be lost and so you have to RESET YOUR PHONE through recovery mode:
After resetting you won't be able to get into the PHONE if Google Protection Lock was turned on (By Default it's ON) and to bypass it you can login your GOOGLE ACCOUNT which was logged in your phone. If you did not logged on your GOOGLE EMAIL then reset it but you would loss all of it's data. In this case if you forgot your GOOGLE ACCOUNT so you can easily bypass it FROM MARKET without logging the account.
3) Go to market and ask the person whether it is possible to get your photos/data if possible so it's best. IF not so, sorry for your lost
- Boot Lacking Won't let you enter into your phone without entering the password ( For you case just ignore it's existence for to HELP you)

Thou Fattima, I'm here to add that Samsung revoked this feature from all it's devices which had this. It's quiet not possible to be there. Is that feature still on your phone then your phone is not up to date. Not in my S9+ neither on my s20ultra.

Yes, definitely it's possible. Boot Lacking is used when we are stuck in boot loop (phone restarting continuously and doesn't let you boot in) but when we reset phone from recovery option that is a step which comes before looping so obviously we can reset directly.
How do you perform lacking storage booting? Is it a button combination that you do when the phone is booting? Is it an option in the menu that I'm too stupid to understand? Sorry for the late reply.
i know a device can help you to backup everything in your phone if you are interested. it will help you to storage it in a difference micro SD card or External portable hard drive if you have them.

Device is Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (2016) 4G LTE (SM-T285), running Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop), without root.
Device suddenly lost network coverage (not the first time), and flight mode did not solve it (not the first time, also), and the only way usually was to restart (power off/on).
Usually that would solve the problem.
This time, the same thing happened, and upon restarting the device, it spent a long time at the Samsung logo/splash screen (which is abnormal), and when it finally reached the lock screen, it took a while before the entire screen was loaded (wallpaper appeared first, then the time...). Upon entering into the home screen, some (not all) widgets were missing (noticeably the custom downloaded ones).
Opened the usual apps to pick up from where I left off, and those apps ran as though it was the first time (as if it was just installed). App data (that was stored on internal storage) was lost. Other data (SMS, pictures) were intact.
My immediate concern/focus right now is to recover the lost data, either by fixing this abnormality (safe mode/guest mode, maybe?), and if that fails, at least recover the lost data (preferably without requiring root).
Any ideas?

Well, I don't know if you can even recover your data.
But what I know is that the data left on your device must be saved, as you would have with the others apps.
Would advice el famoso Titanium Backup (root) :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
Or without root, I found this ( not sure if it's really good but I think it can get the job done):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.appbackup
Also make a full backup of your data (photos, music, ...), I think that your device is getting old and it might be the reason of the data loss (not sure though)

I don't know whether the data is actually deleted or I actually stumbled onto a separate "sandbox" (something like guest mode...?) because only specifically the app data was gone (so far). Any ideas about this abnormality?
If not I would have to presume that the data is deleted, and I would have to recover it, and that would preferably have to be done via PC to avoid overwriting the deleted data.

Respected by mistake, I reset the phone to factory settings.
So on that occasion I lost pictures, videos, viber pictures, messages and sms.
So I'm wondering how I can get back to my phone or computer.
And is it possible to set the phone as a usb device or sd card so that all the data on the computer is restored to the software (I managed to recover the data from the deleted usb from the usb device using recuva applications and the like)
Thanks

The phone is rooted once but I'm not sure if it's done well.
So I should root it and then try with some apps to find the lost files in the phone?

I apologize: Device must NOT be rooted.
Carrying out a Factory Reset all your device data get wiped out, means you end up losing all your important user data before it is backed up. However, Factory Reset does not affect the external SD-card in any way. So, even if you have the SD card inserted with videos, images, documents and any other personal information in the Android device while carrying out a Factory Reset, everything will remain safe and intact.
Factory Reset is neither the best option anyway.
As long as after the Factory Reset no apps etc.pp. got installed on Android device, there is a chance you can recover deleted user data - but only if the related storage memory didn't get overwritten in between. So instead of recovering deleted files from Android without computer by an Android file recovery app, which could potentially overwrite the deleted files when the app is installed, you have a better chance to recover the deleted files with a desktop Android data recovery application on your computer. Dozens of those Windows applications are available, simply do a Google search for those.
I tried the root phone but failed.
Does anyone know how to root this model?
Thank you
