Hi, I tried the Ultra Power Saving Mode the first time and after starting it I couldn't access my launcher, because I was using Nova and disabled Touchwiz. The phone isn't rooted. After I enabled the mode, there was no way to disable it again, so I decided to reboot. I got a bootloop. I can't start in safe mode. I can just enter recovery.... Wiping cache doesn't help either... I'm frustrated, I can't risk to lose my data... I really need help, thanks
This happened to me in November and had to go back to Samsung to fix. Because of this I lost 300 of my holiday photos as it happened on my last day of my holiday. I tried flashing through odin but kept getting failures.

About 3-4 months ago I flashed stock ICS into my Galaxy S2 (I did not wipe the cache, which I discover today was a mistake). I noticed a few weeks later that it was a bit unstable, crashing, restarting, etc. I did not care much and just kept using it.
Today it just would not boot, so after 1 hour trying, I managed to keep it alive (using safe mode) long enough to go to setting and have a factory reset.
Then it would not boot again.
From there, I tried several times the factory reset and wipe cache (using volume up + home + power menu). It would sometimes hang on the "installing applications" until several restarts it would eventually go. Then it would hang randomly on startup "s" video, until I managed to get to the welcome screen - which freezes pretty much on the first or second screen (choosing language and date/time).
I flashed I9100GXXLPY_I9100GDBTLP3_DBT and got the same result.
The phone is not rooted, there is no clockwork and I can't even access the phone to put it into debug mode.
Anyone has any more idea of what can be done besides throwing it on the trash? :/
Hi, I've had a quick search and couldn't find anything that matches my question.
My S3 is stuck on the flashing 'Samsung' screen, I've tried connecting it to my pc to restore it with Kies but it won't load up. I've never tried to root it so could I put the phone into download mode and root it then save my data?
I've done a far bit of reading trying to fix it and I've started the phone in boot mode and wiped the cache but I need to get my data off the phone.
I'd be grateful for any help. Thanks:good:
Edit: I rooted it because I got bored of waiting and it still isn't getting past the flashing Samsung screen any ideas?
Try flashing the exact same firmware with Odin, disable kies first.
This might allow your phone to boot but you'll probably have to factory reset anyway. If done in recovery this shouldn't wipe the internal sd card, but you will lose all apps and settings etc.
For the phone to spontaneously stick during boot usually means a corruption issue, most often of the internal storage.
Basic info: phone is not rooted, the only messing I have done with it was to flash an updated official firmware via Odin (2 years ago) and after that even Kies recognised the firmware as the one I should have.
Yesterday I had a freeze at ~44% battery, did a reset and the phone booted with 0% battery. It switched off, so I took the battery out, put it back in and swtiched it on again. It showed 10% battery, but before completely booting up it froze again. From this point on every time I switch it on it gets to the pulsing 'SAMSUNG' screen at startup and stays there forever.
I am buying a new battery tomorrow. I have researched some ways I can recover the phone, but I am not sure if they will wipe the data. In particular, I would very much like to save my contacts. Is there a way to do this? For example, I read that to flash CWM recovery with Odin I need to unlock bootloader, which will wipe my data. Would one of the various data recovery softwares work in this case (Yodot, Dr.Fone)? Can I get an update to the firmware to my SD card and apply it from the stock recovery, possibly not wiping the phone and recovering the OS?
Also, FYI, I can get to recovery mode, to download mode, but not to safe mode.
Hello everyone, someone recently asked me to check a tablet that doesn't go past recovery mode, everytime I turn it on it goes to recovery mode, and when I try turn it off, it restarts happens the same, apparently the owner was using it when he installed an update because he kept getting notifications to do it, those are all the details I know. I tried wiping the cache partition and doing a factory reset, but no matter what, it still goes to recovery mode. Thank you for your time.
My mom has this old Galaxy Tab 3 that started randomly rebboting on her. She asked me to look at it.
When you turn it on it boots up to the home screen, and after about 10 seconds it reboots. I booted the tablet into safe mode thinking it's an app she installed. Safe mode lasted a little longer maybe 30 seconds before it rebooted. So I booted into recovery mode, and wiped the cache, and rebooted back into safe mode. Still rebooted after 30 seconds or so. So now I tried wiping the tablet, let's start fresh. First I tried erasing it from the settings menu when the tablet is running. No luck will not erase. So now I tried to wipe it using recovery mode. Recovery mode mode claims facotey reset successful. I rebooted the tablet and my mom's email is still set up. So I went back into recovery mode and wiped the tablet doing a full factory reset 3 times in a row before rebooting and EVERYTHING is still there. Has anyone ever seen this before? Is this a problem with the flash memory perhaps? Maybe the main board? Any advice on what's going on or how to erase this would be appreciated.
Weird

This is very weird.So,Let me get this straight.You tried to wipe the tablet and it doesn't wipe.Well,when In recovery mode the recovery doesn't care if there is a loop a symlink or anything that will have any other function other than to exist.It will remove it without a problem.I would say Try doing it from custom recovery otherwise it's not-software relatef.

I've tried in the stock recovery mode whenre I hold the power, volume up button, and home buttons. When you say custom recovery is this like a TWRP recovery?
Yeahyeaah
