[Q] Data recovery from Symbian bricked phone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Reposting this query.
I have a Nokia 603 (Symbian OS) phone which is soft bricked. It vibrates and gets stuck at the Nokia logo. I tried all possible combinations with volume +power buttons. But nothing seems to work. I connected it to the pc but even the pc is not detecting it . I want to retrieve some pics from the internal memory of the phone. I want to avoid the factory reset as i just want my pics back. Nothing else.
1) Can you please let me know how can i make my pc detect my phone? Coz once its detected i can use photorec and get the pics back.
2) will the usb jig work in my case?
Please help.

I am experiencing the same problem...i believe they call it a boot loop where the start up screen never dissappears to bring you into the actual op. system. Is the only answer to download new firmware or is there a hard/factory reset that does the trick? FYI My computer doesnt recognize the device even when plugged into my mac via usb cable. I tried all I could find on key combos and unlocks for resetting the device but none of them worked. This is the second time this has happened. The first time was an easy factory reset fix pressing both the volume + button and the power key (or was it the volume -? I cant quite remember) for 15 seconds then wiping cache and data and restoring to factory defaults. Why is this same action not working this time when performed in the same way as I did when I fixed it the first time?
Please help, anyone, if you can.
Thank you.
It sounds like you might have tampered with the rom, or something you downloaded tampered with it. That's the only way I can think of as to why the factory reset would not be working. Other than that, potential hardware damage is possible. Before I help, I need to know what model of Digital2 tablet you're using. If you still need help with it, that is.

[Q] Phone is not being seen by computer when plugged in, usual solutions do not work

Hello all, thanks for helping me out.
I did a very foolish thing. I rooted my phone and deleted a few bloatware apps that were apparently very important to the phone's functionality. I did not install any recovery software like CWM, fastboot, or anything. It was a stock phone that I simply rooted to remove a few apps. When I went to restart my phone, I found out that I bricked it. Now my phone will only enter Download Mode if I hold the up+down volume buttons and plug it in, or it will get stuck on the LG logo screen and a Security Error screen. A factory reset with the volume down + power will work, but does nothing to fix it.
My immediate issue is that when I plug my phone into the computer, the phone will recognize it has been plugged into a power source (it will either go into Download Mode if I was hitting the volume up+volume down buttons, or start trying to boot up but cycle through the LG logo screen and Security Error screen) but the computer will not acknowledge that anything has been plugged in. There is nothing new listed in the Device Manager. I have read other threads and searched around on the internet. The usual solutions are not working for me:
I have tried several other cables and computers to no avail. I have also tested my current computer/cable, and it worked for data transfer with another phone (Nexus 4)
I have tried cleaning out the contacts on the phone. They were not significantly dirty.
I have tried installing the drivers from LG and even the UniversalNakedDriver
I believe that if I could get my computer to see my phone, I could flash the stock rom back and restore it to working order via LGNPST. I know it is simply a software issue, because prior to my rooting the phone it was recognized by the computer.
Does anyone have any other solutions I haven't tried? Or is this something I need to go JTAG on?

[Q] Samsung S3 not responding at all!

I have a samsung galaxy s3 i9300! While i was sleeping, i was charging my phone and when i woke up the phone was stuck at the initial logo screen of samsung! Then, i tried to press the home bottom power and volume up bottom to reset while it was doing that it went back again to the logo screen before being able to choose wipe cache and stuff! I tried it several times! Then as i was searching through net i saw that odin thing custom Rom and i thought that maybe i should give it a try! So i tried to installed it by connecting my phone to the laptop but my pc did not identify my phone! Then I tried again by connecting and disconnecting the pc with my phone and while doing so i pushed the button of Repartition at Odin. My phone was not identified so i have no idea if that happened! Now my phone does not even open, or charging! Please tell me if there is a way to make it work again!
It might be of some help to mention that my charger is a new one that i bought from bol.com and its not the original one! I have no idea if that affected somehow the mobile functioning.
No, you are unlikely to fix that. You can try a usb jig, see if download mode will start, but it sounds like partial SDS followed by user panic until it was hard bricked.
If it didnt show in odin you have a driver issue and the repartition wouldn't have happened.
Remove battery, sd and sim. Make sure the battery is charged.
Insert battery and hold home+vol down while pressing power once.
If the screen lights up do not let go of home+vol down until it has entered download mode. If the phone wont light up at this point you have a bigger problem.
Once in download mode install the samsung mobile device drivers on your pc, you might need to try different versions, and plug the phone into the pc's usb on the motherboard. Try to avoid using front mounted or shared ports as they are unreliable. If your phone doesnt interact with your pc try other drivers.

Oppo joy: bricked or not

I tried repairing oppo joy smartphone for my cousin. The phone can turn on but remains in bootloop. Most guides said i can easily solve the problem by hard reset, holding power and volume button at same time and entering recovery mode. The problem is it won't entering the recovery mode or even the factory mode. One guide i read, the phone is essentially bricked if i am unable to access recovery mode so that makes me wonder.
However i tried another method by using software through pc. I downloaded usb driver, firmware and odin like software. I remove battery, connect usb, hold power and volume up together and pc is supposed to recognize and install driver or go through with rom installation. But nothing happened. Only a sound like a new device discovered after holding the buttons and it keeps buzzing every 2 seconds nonstop.
Please help me whether this is a sign of defeat or something can be done since i find brick is a term where a phone does not power on at all
