[Q] Retrive data from S2. - General Questions and Answers

Hi and thanks for reading. Did not know what section this should go in to but here goes.
My S2 screen is dead I can not see a thing it turns on and I can hear the phone boot but can not see a thing. Repair is not worth it so is their a way to get my pictures etc without fixing the screen? I have a password set and no memory card inside.

You can boot it in recovery and access adb mode or just boot it normally and use ADB mode, you will have to pull the files ^.^
Hope it helps,
Daniel

everything i can do - is boot it up, and see ind adb on my pc NOTHING WORKS
You are far from a brick. Did you make a backup? Can you get into recovery? Do you have an engineering bootloader? Did you try to load a backup? What phone do you have?

if you can get into recovery, have you tried a full data/cache wipe?
he said he can't get into recovery.
you should try to manually flash a recovery mod on your phone through ADB shell
Now i can get into recovery, but i got cant open chache/recovery/command error
ANDD!!!!!Now i can login into ADB shell how to reflash from .img file?
Im not exactly sure, but is there any at-boot options besides recovery (I.e. hold volume up or volume down at boot and see options (im coming from Atrix which has these))? If so, try to get into an option called fastboot. Its a protocall which allows you to use the fastboot program from the Android SDK on your computer to flash new images. There are precompiled versions from HTC (search google) that allow you to connect your device using the USB cable and flash new images. As I haven't even ever seen the device, I can't help u a whole lot, sorry.

Phone stuck at startup screen

I was trying to get the kd1 modem on my phone, but it caused my phone to start force closing everything. i had to reinstall the ext converter and then bionix, but once i finished doing this, the phone is stuck on the galaxy s screen. i can't even get into recovery mode. i know i need to use odin, but i do not know how to use it. is there any quick way to fix this? i need this phone to be fixed tomorrow because i have an interview!!! i know that there are other threads out there, but i cant seem to find them (search is down from 1230??) and i need a quick answer. thanks so much
quick fix = odin. it's not hard to use, just read the thread.

To ODIN, hold down both the UP and DOWN volume buttons until a screen which says "downloading" comes up.
Once that comes up, connect the phone and proceed to flash KD1 Deodexed. If you need a fast download link, go to http://cyclopscomputers.com/gs4g
I'll have a fast download link for it within the next ten minutes. Either that, or go here and download it.
For an ODIN guide, look here.
If you have any questions you can PM or email me at [email protected]

Search wasn't working for him, that's why he can't find the thread. He could've used google, though.
thank you so much. i didnt know that the search option was disabled for certain hours. i should have used google, sorry about that. the problem i am having is that i cannot even get into download mode, which is weird. i'll try to follow the steps listed on the links. once again, thank you for the quick response.

You don't have access to any parts required for the JIG do you?
I believe this is the correct guide.

Ah yeah, I didn't really think you would, 99% of us don't :\
er....take out your SIM and memory card.
take out the battery, leave it for a few seconds, and put it back in.
Then try to get into download mode again, with only the battery in.
wont get into download mode no matter what I do. this is just bad timing for me. i tried to use odin, and even though it recognizes the phone, it is stuck on "SetupConnection" and wont do anything else.

It usually does that when either a SIM or an SD card is in.
Remove both, put yourself into download mode again, and restart ODIN.
right. i removed both the sim and the sd card. then i left the battery off for a few minutes and attempted to restart and go into download mode. the only thing that happens is that the phone shows the galaxy s 4g startup screen and then reboots...always cycling that screen. thanks for all of the help, btw. i really appreciate it.

No problem :]
And didn't you say you got as far as ODIN though?
"it is stuck on "SetupConnection""
yes, it says that in odin. but its still stuck on the galaxy s 4g startup screen. i never got into download mode.

For the phone to say that in ODIN, it has to be in download mode.
It's quite possible that the phone is in download mode yet the screen doesn't say it.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
finally fixed it. it got into download mode using the second method on this post and was able to flash with odin.

Q> Bricked Phone , need help!

Hey guys!
I just bricked my phone by wiping dalvik cache after installing marmite. Now my phone is just showing a black screen when power on.
Ive tried using the UnbrickableMod Tool by Adam, but my device does not get recognized.
What do I have to do? I love this phone, and I do not want to buy a new one yet
>>devil188
So , I just did use the ubtool again , but this time on linuxmint, which gave me superuser access using that. But I only get far till <sbl inj. failed>
Gonna take a look now who over dudes solved that, but still feel free to help me
flash the non-cm version of marmite.
how can i flash something if i can't get into download/fastboot etc. mode ?
Anyway, I still can't get through the SBL injection Failed thingy, i think i gotta make a hardware modification (unbrickable mod) :/
Well, ain't nobody helping me? Doing that UnbrickableMod looks extremely hard, because the things you gotta change are very very small!

If THAT ALONE caused the brick you're describing, maybe nobody has the ability to understand what just happened.

Try Nexus Root Toolkit (for windows).. Though I think you'll need to be able to boot to boot loader??.. (vol + & power)
If you can't do that, read the threads on Odin, it may help..
Doesn't work either, actually I can't access anything on the phone :/
Gonna take a look at the odin threads

At&t lg g3 (d850)

I hope someone can help? I have an AT&T LG G3 (D850) that boots up with an error message at the logo screen. It does not go any further than that. I can get the phone in recovery mode only. I have reset to factory several times. No luck. Additionally, my computer does not recognize that the G3 is connected, so can't use Odin to flash recovery.
Is there any way to get the phone to work again? Or, am I looking at a very expensive paper weight. I thank you in advance is you can help me out.

Thanks for your help. The phone was rooted, so I am sure that AT&T will say that I voided the warranty. But, it does not hurt to try.
If it won't boot they can't tell doubt they will check anyway

Thanks for your response. Odin does not highlight a port, when the phone is connected. ADB says no device found. I think I will go to Best Buy and ask their Samsung Expert to update ROM, which might get it out of loop.
While in recovery you should be able to mtp xfer a stock rom to your downloads directory (SD card), and flash it, would be my hope. I believe you did say you can get to recovery.
What happened/changed that left it error booting?

Maybe I am using the wrong term...I can hold the volume button down and power button to get it to a screen where I can wipe the data to factory. Besides that I cannot get to any other screen. I was trying to flash Philz recovery on the device. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Are you on OEM recovery? If on TWRP recovery you can MTP a file to the SD and flash via that. I'm not familiar with OEM recovery other than seeing it once.

First of all, thank you for all your responses. I really appreciate that. I ended up sending the phone to LG to be fixed. I just want the phone fixed and server as my backup now, since I bought the Samsung Note 4 and Gear S. Will update, when I hear back from LG. Thanks again.
Sounds to me that the drivers are not loaded correctly on the PC. If you can get to recovery you should be able to get to DL, I would think.

Galaxy tab keeps rebooting

Hi all,
I have an issue where my tablet keeps rebooting. Unfortunately it works for a few seconds and then reboots. I have some important files so a factory reset is not really an option... Can you please guide me to at least how I could recover the files?
Thanks in advance guys.
Bad E-MMC

That is definitely the e-mmc problem. I have experienced the same thing and it required replacement..
your e-mmc is damaged, therefore your Rom reads the data but it cannot write into it, so it reboots itself.. you can no longer reset your tablet. .once factory reset is completed and it reboots.. all applications remain , within couple of seconds, it reboots all over and over..
Consider buying a new mainboard... replace and flash..
hope it helps..
boot into safe mode. it will allow you to recover your files and save them on a laptop.
you can search for how to boot into safe mode on google. i had a similar problem

safe mode won't work because the emmc chip is set to read only. so there is nothing you can to get you files back.

Copying files is still possible even when the chip is set to read only
