Hi guys,
Got a tricky one here - a friends just brought me a Galaxy S2 thats stuck in a boot loop but tells me he's got years of photos on it's internal memory and not backed up
So far I've managed to get it into download/recovery mode, tried a cache reset and got nowhere now I'm a bit stuck. Do I:
Do a factory reset - I'm told it doesn't delete the users data, but some people say it does and I can't risk it until I know for sure.
Flash a stock ROM - Apparently Odin (Which I have got running and can see the phone) can write a ROM without losing data - but again I'm weary of doing so without a definite answer.
Something else? - Possible to write just a custom recovery and mount internal to USB or something? Tried TWRP but it fails in Odin.
Any help is greatly appreciated guys, from both of us!
Can you access the phone through ADB while in recovery mode? (Maybe you'll first have to install a custom recovery with Odin.) Then you can just use ADB to pull any files you want off the phone.

Hi xda doods!
I own an old verizon galaxy Tab 7 (sch-1800), but it fails on boot, i'm stuck at Verizon splashscreen. I can access to download mode and recovery mode, but factory reset fails too. It says cache and stuff can't be mounted.
I can't find a lot of info about the sch-1800.
I managed to find the stock rom, and install it with Odin. So now i only can see some...noisy rainbow instead of the splash.
I still have access to download mode and recovery.
I'm wondering what should i put into Odin or how can i apply stuff with the SD card to make it run again
I can't find any answer on the forum about the SCH-1800
Thanks for any help, or helpful link
additionnal data :
a friend of mine brought me this tab from the US, it worked perfectly for a while, but one day it just stumped on splashscreen. Not frozen, i still have the verizon music and animation and stuff.
Im living in France and only using the wi-fi.
*Urgent* Bricked S3(gt9300)? Accidentally wiped my s3 (in allianz rom bootloader screen) .* It then vomplrtely wouldn't work, so I used odin to put a stock rom on (via pda)* Success ! working completely fine until it lost power & will only ever get as far as the samsung logo when turned on. Need urgent diy help to get my phone working again,* I have tried a number of how-to's on fixung a bricked s3 via odin with no luck!* the error message is along the lines of no partion available & will fail no longer than 2 seconds into process. no matter what rom ; custom or stock Im unable to fix.* My guess would be that ive deleted whatever software in phone that would recognise a rom. Notes: I am competant in use of android just very good at making mistakes.* The only feature available is the download usb mode. Any help would be appreciated especially if it works, Im sure someone else has had the same problem!
i545-vrufng6 is rooted and apparently i deleted something that i shouldnt have because while in the operating system all i get is the process com.google.process.gapps has stoped making it virtually impossible to do anything. I flashed my rom with with twrp and now my recovery console is stuck in download mode and boots up with a custom unlocked padlock. I am lost as to what to do with this thing and have been struggling with it since friday evening. I have access to odin and adb-fast boot but i cant get into recovery mode to do a hard reset, load a new rom, or anything else. My wife has ordered a new replacement phone but i know i cant send it back to verizon like this. honestly i should have done more research before i started doing what i have but now i really just need some helpful advice. thanks guys and gals for any help
I accidently bricked my phone and i tried everything on XDA. So i basically wiped completely everything on my phone including all the advanced options in advanced wipe this includes internal storage, system and USB OTG and the rest(using teamwin recovery). Now my phone just comes up with the samsung galaxy s6 startup screen. I have tried to flash custom roms onto my device. However it still says that my phone has no OS on it. I recently figured out my potential build number too, as i before had no way of finding out.
NOTES: The only things i have access to are recovery mode and download mode. I have no backups.
Thankyou for your help
Download the firmware for your variant of S6 and use Odin to install while in Download Mode. Tons of tutorials and information in the forums here for your phone.
If that's over your head, use Samsung's Smart Switch for PC and use the emergency recovery option.
I would recommend getting familiar with Odin though if you want to play with your phone. It's a great tool and will be able to fix most any issue like this.
Hello,
I have a big problem, i'm fairly experienced with phone and technology and have done my fair share of phone fixing and flashing ROMs on phones. Now today my moms old galaxy phone broke (GT-I8262), the phone couldn't boot into android, i tried to wipe cache didn't work, did a factory reset that also didn't work, So i went to the samsung site and download the stock rom, odin and all the tools i need, installed drivers. I started the flashing process when suddenly the phone lost connection to the PC, ofc i know that this is really bad and thought i could reset the process and flash the ROM (I was wrong).
Now im stuck with the phone not being able to be recognized by my PC whenever i plug it in, When i try to boot into recovery mode i get the message (firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again), I cannot use kies or odin to flash the Phone cuz windows will just not recognize it, i need help since my mom does not have the money or wants to buy a new phone.
Thanks to everyone in advance.
