All bit of help, i flashed from the 6.01 beta back to 5.1.1 al stock as I want to use my Gear VR, i flashed back via ODIn all find but stuck in a bootloop, i know the usual process to sort this (either wipe the partition or master reset), the wipe partition failed, but prior to doing a master wipe how can i recover my data.
I thought in bootloader it had an option to connect to a usb, that way i figure i can copy all data off.
Any help is appreciated, just being cautious as I don't want to lose 2,000 odd photos.

Does the TWRP work? I guess it works, and you can try wipe data/cache with that.
Yes can can to bootloader tried wiping the partition cache without success want to avoid a data wipe to preserve the data (photos)

I've had trouble wiping data and cache from CWM something has always gone wrong bootloops or whatever and have to flash to stock via odin. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I normally boot to recovery wipe data then cache and flash never seems to work.
Would I be soft bricking my phone if I was to do any of these:
Format/ cache
Format/ system
For/ data
For/ sdcard
For/ enmc
Wipe data factory reset
Wiped cache partition
Wiped delvick cache
Wipe battery stats
If I was to carryout these steps at once in recovery would I softbrick my phone and if I do do that would I still have access to the download mode.

One more thing how do I get around md5 mismatch for the backups I have when I try to recover them. This md5 mismaych hasn't allowed me to recover nor one of my latest backups, I am hvimg to use a very old backup.
Yes you would soft brick your phone, you would just need to flash another rom via CWM or odin (Download mode).
You would also wipe both your SD cards, and basically everything else.

well in the first place only a person who's gone out of his mind will do all of those steps in one go so that his phone soft bricks to match his mind that has already been (Soft Bricked)

Question answered.
Hi, I installed CWM custom recovery, and took several backups. I wanted to check that the backups worked so I tried to restore them. This just made my phone not boot (it sticks at the second screen which says "Samsung GT-i5500". (I can recover from this by re-flashing the stock ROM, but this still leaves me with some useless backups.)
Is there some way I can try to debug to see where it is going wrong? I have tried to use ADB logcat (from the android SDK) but it doesnt report anything ("still waiting for device").
I dont get any errors reported during the backup or the restore.
What I used...
Odin 4.28
Custom recovery: ClockworkMod-Galaxy5-v0.5.tar (When it runs it reports that it is version v4.0.1.5)
Closed down Keis.
Leave Odin controls at defaults and just add the OPS file and the above file for 'one package'
When doing restore I have run, from the recovery menu: clear cache, data reset, clear dalvik cache.
and then select the restore option
I have a samsung galaxy 5500
when restoring stock only restore data then wipe dalvik and cache.
flash stock rom then advanced restore data then wipe dalvik cache and cache.

Thanks ashley117, but I didnt understand this. It was a bit too brief for me to follow (I'm just new to android).
"when restoring stock only restore data"
Not sure how to do this - it only comes as a single package.
Or did you mean when restoring my backup?
I was wondering how much this would restore. Will it do everything that would have happened if restore was working - will it preserve unlocked phone and rooted phone etc?
I installed PA in slot 1, and tried to access bmm setting, but it said installation failed and after that i tried to reboot, and got stuck out of system with no way to boot into system.
I tried DROID_RAZR_Utility_Jellybean_XT912_WinMacLin and succesfully flashed stock rom, but cant wipe data as no backup of data off the device. also cant book in stock system as different rom installed. please help me, how do i wipe data withou losing sdcard data
1. can i install bmm from fastboot?
2. can wipe data(without wiping media) from any other way, eg BP, BP SBF Fash, etc?
Hello,
Unfortunately, my stock S2 is stuck in a bootloop and I would like to retrieve as much of the data (photos, recorded audio and contacts) as possible - no, it wasn't backed up well enough...I have learnt this the hard way
Reading through the forums I have a couple of options but not sure if they'll work as expected...
1. I can access the factory reset: Will it only wipe the system data??
2. Can I flash the siyah kernel (as described elsewhere) via ODIN without any phone auto-formatting/reset? If so, will all the data still be there upon restart assuming this corrects the bootloop? Is that a correct assumption?
My thinking is I can try option 2 first, and then fall back to option 1.
Any confirmation and support from your experience will be greatly appreciated! I really hope I can rescue my data!!!
Thanks!!
Hi @Snato,
If you use the factory reset option, this will wipe all user data. You don't want to do that.
Flashing a custom kernel like siyah (or philz) will not touch your data. If you can flash one of these and replace the stock recovery with a custom one, then you should be able to mount the internal memory and retrieve your data from there. The only doubt I have is why is it bootlooping? You may run into unexpected problems if there is a hardware issue, but try that first.....
You can follow my tutorial to do so : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-tutorial-samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100-t3538601
At step 3), once in TWRP, you can use TWRP recovery to connect to PC before reformating.
Go to Mount -> Mount the partitions you want and Mount USb storage.
Keep in touch. Don't go beyond step 3 without having stored your data !
