Hi
I tried to root my GS6 SM-G920F 5.1.1
But missed that the file i used were for 5.0.5 and now the phone cannot start.
I know that i can restore it in KIES 3 by writing my modelnumber and serial.
BUT! I just returned from the first vacation with my kids and theres a whole lot of pictures that i want to keep.
If i use KIES it will delete all my data, is there any, i mean any way to make it connect to the computer so that i can remove the files or another wa to fix it without loosing my data?
I can see that Jihosoft Android Phone Recovery tells me that i can recover all my things after a factory reset, can anyone confirm this?

Hey guys, first post only because of the level of stress I been goino through trying to figure this out.
So I Had Rooted My phone succesfully At One Point I Wanted To Flash My Rom and It Failed using twrp. I had backed everything up using twrp and when it came time to trying to restore, it failed as well. Long story short I've been searching for a way to fix this as my phone is stuck in factory mode. Weird thing is that my imei number is still correlates correctly with the sticker on the phone but there are no files/ folders in the efs folder and I feel I've exhausted all of my options. I've tried factory wipes, nandroid restore via twrp which failed. Reinstalling factory Rom via kies and Odin to no avail with this issue.
Am I missing something? Where do I go from here? I know there's something that was backed up onto my sd card as the folder upwards of 1gb. when backed up in twrp I made sure to check everybox. Should i have performed a wipe prior to backup? Any help is much appreciatedas this phone is about a week old and its starting to get a bit frustrating...
i only have one real connectivity issue and it only happens on wi-fi. if i turn it on, it will connect than within 5-10 sec the rom will reset to boot screen and it will say "Factory Mode On! wi-fi is now turning off" other than this, i have full network access.
as of right now i'm stock worst comes to worst, may have to send the phone in, if warranty is void, i have a $175 deductible... trying to avoid this on a brand new phone.
bump anyone
Hello, guys!
I'm facing a real hard issue with a brazilian Galaxy SIII GT-I9300. (international model)
Last night I did the CWM tutorial, and then I installed a custom ROM based on 4.4.4 KitKat.
Everything works great, but I lost the IMEI in this process.
I lost the entire night reading about ways to get my original IMEI restored, and I tried to use some tools from the XDA fórums.
Anyway, I had a serious problem with USB debugging function, and after a few tries, I got the phone being connected with Windows again.
Now, every time I try to use NV-items reader_writer, I can get the phone connected but it still can't read the phone.
the message "Failed....Phone does not Answer" shows up when I click the Read button.
I used the *#0808# in the dial app to get USB settings but when I choose the "RMNET + DM +MODEM" option, Windows says that could not install drivers for my "Unknown Device", and the RV-items reader_writer could not access the phone.
Please, I beg you help me!
I lost an entire night trying to solve this, but I can't get over this point.
I got Null IMEI values right now!
EDIT: If I force the DM mode via USB settings, Windows says that can't install drivers for the device. NV item reader_writer still saying that the Phone isn't responding for the Restoring Process
P.S: I already did the 226.txt with the phone original IMEI for use with NV item reader_writer
EDIT2: I just found is a Factory Mode in the last reboot!!! What it means?
Not even Kies can help me...
Even with Kies, I'm facing problems!
There's nothing in the world that makes my recent installed Kies connect to the Galaxy S3.
I was trying to make a restore with Kies!
But even this is not working...
What should I do? Please, help me guys!
Take it to a service center for repair. Nothing here can fix a corrupted efs.
I had a similar problem last week, and if you don't have a backup there is nothing you can do but take it to the repair service. However, you can try in some phone stores. Some of them has a device called box with which they can restore your IMEI and it's way cheaper than Samsung's service. It worked for me.
Good luck dude.
PD: I've heard that when you flash CM roms it backs up you efs automatically to your internal memory, but I've never found it, give it a try if you want.

No this is not true. CM does not touch the efs or modem so it has no need to.
To backuo efs you need to manually do it from recovery or with apps.
As said, bricked in logo screen.
it is stock verizon with 4.4.2., no root, no nothing custom, except used in developer mode to use pdanet
have drained battery & entered recovery mode.
Once there, tried to wipe cache, system prompts essentially says every thing is missing, cache, recovery partition, recovery log, etc. so of course cache clear fails.
I then tried to access phone with kies & smart, will not connect.
My system isnt seeing it either when direct connected
I have switched from verizon to t mobile last sunday, getting new phones for my wife & I.
Due to tmobiles people screwing up the porting, my contacts etc did NOT get transferred between my old note2 & new lgv20 phones.
I really need to NOT factory restore (have not attempted) as the phone still has 10 years of family friends business contacts that are not anywhere else.
I need to access the phone using non data destructive techniques.
Looking for any guidance to get it unbricked without a wipe, or at a minimum to somehow get into the files to retrieve the contacts.
Any help is appreciated
Hi,
I’d really appreciate it if someone can help me, as I’ve not been able to find my exact problem and solution anywhere in the last 5 days of trying to fix my Samsung Galaxy S3 SPH-L710 – Sprint.
Not sure what happened but I had just swapped out my battery and my problem began – I have 3 batteries that I charge and swap when needed… one of the reasons I’m still using the S3. Been wanting to get a new phone but just haven’t decided which one and kept putting if off. Anyway… After charging the battery I turned on the phone and it got stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen. Went online and read I should try a cache wipe. I did that and got a bunch of failed to mount lines and a few other failures. Mostly failed cache. Not sure if this had anything to do with it but I was running low on the internal free space and had to delete a few things to make more space and then it would fill up again etc… Internal size is 16gb.
Here’s what I tried:
Attempted the 4.4.2 ROM flash in Odin. – Got a PIT partition message and then tried again and got write Failures after NAND started. Tried a few more times and same thing but I don’t get the PIT error anymore… I tried different Odin versions, computers, and cables, and same results. I have the correct USB driver. I’m using the same version ROM that’s on my phone, but the build name on my phone is last (newest) update and I could only find the previous build of the same 4.4.2 version. Note – This phone was a swap by Sprint when my first S3 had a start button issue. This one is a refurbished… not sure if that changes anything.
I also tried a TWRP install via Odin and it Failed.
I tried to Root via Odin and it Failed.
I DID NOT do a factory reset because I don’t want to lose all my data.
MORE INFO:
Phone is not Rooted and never was.
Phone goes into download mode and also stock recovery mode without any problems.
I never set the developer option and I didn’t enable debugging. Not sure how, now that my phone is soft-bricked.
QUESTIONS:
I’d like to preserve all my data and settings and somehow back them up so that I can put them on a reset phone.
Is there any way to work around this soft-brick and grab all the info including the system info and settings, all my files, and pictures, etc??… Everything! … I’d like to get the phone working again and put it all back on it and be the same as it was. I have so much important stuff on the phone. I have been doing backups via Kies but haven’t done it for a few months and I don’t even want to lose even a few months of data, and the way my phone was set up. Is there anything I can do to basically get a mirror image of my phone? Assuming all the information is still intact but it just can’t mount properly.
Is the developer / debugging setting preventing me from being able to do what I tried? Is it because I’m not Rooted? Is there OEM Locking on my phone?
Should I try to install TWRP from the stock recovery via external SD card? And then Backup from there? Is that different than doing it from Odin or will that fail too?
Please help – I love my S3. No phone for 5 days and I feel so disconnected :crying:
Thank you!
I wanted to sign in to Snapchat but apparently, that doesn't work if you have root.
I then uninstalled the Xposed Framework and ignored it saying I should wipe dalvik cache (I now know that's stupid but I don't have a recovery or some option to do that rn)
Next, I went to SuperSu and did the full unroot.
After that I was told to reboot and now I'm stuck at the picture you always see before the bootanimation starts.
I'm looking for something like Titanium Back to get really everything saved and from there on make my phone boot again, stock rom is good enough.
I have access to a Windows PC which doesn't recognize my phone via USB, a big enough SD Card.
However, I don't have a custom recovery installed and when I try going to the stock recovery, it just says "No Command".
If I boot into fastboot, the phone acts as if everything was the way it should be while my PC still doesn't recognize it
Also, I can't remove the battery on this phone but making it go empty doesn't help either.
We´re talkting about my Umidigi Crystal 2/16 Version <-- The 2/16 is a different version!!
And it was running stock rom which was Android Nougat.
I´m not that experienced whith these things, you might have guessed it.
Thank you for any help though.
