Recovering data from bootlooping Lenovo A850i - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I deleted some of the bloatware my Lenovo A850i came with, and after thatit rebooted and got stuck at the logo screen. It animates and all, and then doesn't move forward.
If I press power+volume down, it says meta mode but doesn't really do anything as far as I can tell.
Power+volume up brings up a chinese factory mode where I could wipe the whole thing (which I'd rather avoid). When I first entered this mode while connected to my PC, the PC installed the phone's driver, since then, nothing.
Power+both volumes brings me to an android screen where I could also wipe the phone, or install an update from the phone.
If I simply power up the phone and connect it to the PC, I can see a Lenovo Suite install drive, and the two internal drives my phone has, but they are vague and unopenable. It says that I should inster a disc.
I have tons of pictures on the phone, and tons of contacts that for some reason I saved on the phone itself, bad mistake. So I would like to download the internal data before wiping the thing.
Please help!
Update:
If I take the battery out and connect the phone to the PC, I can hear a quick hardware recognition sound, then immeditely the harware disconnected sound. If I watch the Device Manager, I can see a port appear and disappear.

[Q] Failed at flashing lumia 710 qualcomm bootloader.

Excuse me, I got a problem.
First of all, when i was trying to flash the qualcomm bootloader, i got this error "Loading hashblock failed with ‘Messenger encountered error ‘Referencia a objeto no establecida como instancia de un objeto.’’". And the process stucked at 50%.
But, It seems to have qualcomm bootloader already, cuz when i plug in the phone, windows asks to format my device and it pops up Qualcomm driver.

[Q] Phone won't boot. Stuck at Philz CWM.

Hi guys. This is the first time i posted on xda. I've been hopelessly scouring through the internet for a solution and i hope you guys can enlighten my path.
I'm using Galaxy Note N7000. It was rooted and I'm using "AmniX"-Xperia Note GT-N7000 TW Edition. It works perfectly until yesterday when I drop my phone onto a carpet. After that, the horror started.
First, I can't access my photos, then I've try to mount back my SD Card as it shown NO SD CARD DETECTED in files explorer.
Secondly, I've try to restart it several times but no luck, take the sd card in and out but still no effect.
Thirdly, Restarted my phone and try to go to Recovery mode. After Samsung Logo booted, the Philz CWM is not working. I cannot see anything on the screen besides the button below. I've attached an image of that.

Next, I try plug it in to my pc. Again, nothing is detected. Installed USB drivers several times but still I cant access the phone's storage.
What can I do to fix this?
You can only access the phone's storage in recovery via adb. I'd first take out the SD card and see if it works in something else. Next I would update your recovery and try again. If that doesn't work, then Odin back to stock.

Lenovo K910 black screen - adb not found - fastboot not working

Hi,
A few months ago I rooted my device and tried to change the ROM. I don't remember what I did but then I bought a Honor6 so I didn't use the Vibe Z anymore.
Today I wanted to get back to it. I managed to charge it and saw the Lenovo logo when pluging to the charger.
But everytime I try to turn it on I got a blackscreen. As i saw a logo I know the screen is not out.
I read this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/lenovo-k910-stuck-logo-screen-t2936630 But it's a bit harder in my case.
abd devices : nothing
fastboot device-info / reboot etc : nothing.
I tried to hold the power button for 10+ seconds but it's like the device is rebooting each time (aka vibrations every seconds)
I sometimes see a red light, or blinking red light, or even blue light.
When trying to shut it down, press +/- and plug it to USB nothing happens.
When trying to connect it to my PC (Linux) I can't get the partitions. I can only get a few ones, 134MB and 67MB, not the 1+GB. In fact I see a Qualcomm MMS storage.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Bud
Same problem!
But my phone only vibrating on power on, screen is always off and I can´t see Lenovo logo anymore!?
In fresh xp, or win7, device manager didn´t recognize my phone, no searching, no nothing. I was remove battery and try to do same, connect with VOL- and other solution but still nothing...:crying:
Same for me too.
I plugged my phone to the PC to make a new try. After a few minutes I got a surprise!
Some partitions were mounted. But I still can't boot the phone...

Unable to transfer files to PC

Hello. I own a Xiaomi Redmi 7A. Since the very beginning I have issues transfering files to PC.
First of all, the device barely loads on Windows 10. Whenever I try to move files or even simply open folders, it freezes. Never had this problem before with any Android device, either from Samsung or LG. Or whatever other brand (not even those cheap Chinese freaks).
But whenever I connect my 7A to PC, I have to quickly try to move files before 30 seconds or so. After that, it totally freezes. Or files don't respond. Or explorer.exe doesn't respond.
I have tried reinstalling drivers, activating debugging mode and tons of other things I could find on internet, having NO success at all. Tried with my mom's laptop (Windows 7) and I was surprised I got the exact same problem. So, I came to this forum, cause I believe you guys are the only one who can save me.
I didn't want to get a new phone, because I got this one only 4 months ago, so... But seems like I'm going to have to get a new one asap.
Examples of the dozens of problems I've been experience:

(Failure moving File or Folder - Catastrophic failure)
(Hanging forever/files don't show)
Eternal copying (that can't be cancelled and still freezes)
Some more different errors (googled it and no success finding a decent fix)
Seems to be a mass storage bug with either the device or Windows

Honor 7C no recovery present

Hello!
I got my mom's phone because it got stuck on the boot screen (honor Powered by android). She was out in the cold for a while, and when she tried to use her smartphone, it had shut down. As she tried to restart it, it got stuck on the boot screen. So she gave it to me hoping to at least get some important data back. I fixed some bricked phones in the past, but this one seems impossible to fix.
I got fastboot working, but the recovery doesn't seem to start no matter how I press PWR and Vol+. Also fastboot reboot recovery gets me no further than a reboot to the boot screen. Since the FRP is locked, I can't flash a recovery image.
The fastboot screen suggest to open HiSuite. But on my Mac it does require HDB to be active. However the windows version aknowledges that a device can do something via fastboot.
But my win10 machine is unable to properly recognize the usb device. Installing USB drivers seems not to help, even manual install in the device manager fails with driver signature disabled. Also a registry fix from this website seems not to help. In the end, I can't get fastboot to work in the commandline nor HiSuite.
At this point I'm out of Ideas. As it stands now, the only way to recover the data is by unsoldering the eMMC .
There are ways to unlock the bootloader, but as far as I know, it requires wiping the storage.
I'm not sure what happened to the phone outside, but it's really strange that there is no recovery available.
Does anyone have ideas on how to proceed?
