Hey there!
The last time I powered up the display of my RAZR HD and unlocked it a lot of messages about processes and apps (I can just remember a lot of Google apps and services but I am not sure if there was anything else as well) which stopped working/running popped up (I hope I translated that correctly from German). So I thought it would be better to restart the phone. I turned it off and after a few minutes I tried to power it back on. But it got stuck right at the beginning where the red/white Motorola logo shows up. It never started pulsating. I tried to start it serveral times but it was the same every time. So I laid it down for a few days to make sure the battery is totally empty and after that I tried to start it again but it got stuck at the logo again. The only solution which I found is to reset the phone but I really need the data from the internal storage. My phone is completely stock JB 4.1.2 and was never rooted or unlocked. How can I save my data? If there is a way I would love to hear about it even if it kills my phone.
need to flash stock without erasing data, you can manage that via editing the xml file.

Hello and thanks for your time. I'll try to be as brief as possible:
I bought my gf a Polaroid 7" tablet running Jellybean 4.1.1, after a while, the tablet started freezing at times, and one time it just froze completely. I pushed the physical RESET button it has (since the battery cannot be removed) and that's where it all started. Of course, all data was lost, but it kept randomly freezing and rebooting, and after each reboot every configuration was lost again (as a factory reset).
It now shows 2 internal storages: The first says it's a total 0.0B but has 114MB data used, and the other shows a 4,3GB total and 1MB used. I cannot install/updat anything. There is no support whatsoever for this tablet (even the model is very rare PMID702DC). It is not rooted, it cannot be turned off (it just reboots automatically), I've tried going to recovery mode through ADB but it just reboots as normal... any ideas on how to fix this? My gf only used it for fb and a couple games (since it has a low 512 RAM). Thanks in advance!
Bump, sorry, this is driving me crazy. It's been a couple days and I just can't find a proper solution. Some mention something about busybox, but the device is not rooted :/ don't know what to do.
Hi all. 1st post here.
I've been having a lot of trouble with my Galaxy Tab 2 lately. I rooted it a long time ago. Never had trouble with it. A few days ago, after charging it, I tried to start it, but when it starter, after a minute or so, it restarted. Normally the tablet only did that when it was froze due to many apps or processes being used at the same time. The problem is that the tablet never started properly after that one time. It's on some type of infinite loop. It starts, stays on for 1 or 2 minutes and then freezes and restarts. Well, i thought what most people would think at the moment: "I need to reset the tablet". I went to Recovery mod, made the format, but when the tablet rebooted, everything was untouched. No format. Odd to me. I then tried to return to stock. If it after that the problem was still there, at least I could be able to call for warranty. Odin gave me a lot of failed errors when I was trying but there was once that it said "Pass". Rebooted, still the same. Updated the recovery, tried to format, still the same. I'm running out of options right now. I don't really know what can be the problem and how can I fix it. I thought that if there was a way to format it like in recovery but using my PC it would do something (or not)
I appreciate any type of help.
XT1080 Maxx - no recovery, no factory, and no USB connection to PC
I am trying to fix my brother's XT1080 Maxx, or at least get his photos off of it. This phone is stock, as my bro is not tech savvy at all.
He went to bed one night. I am not sure if the phone tried installing an update while unplugged or what happened, but when he woke up in the morning and tried turning it on, it stuck on the droid eye screen. He tried rebooting a few times and was finally able to get to the unlock screen, but once unlocked, everything crashed, like motolauncher, gapps, acore, media, etc.
We took it to several Verizon retailers, some official stores and some authorized retailers. Everyone said they could not help.
At this point, he gave it to me to work with. I tried recovery from fastboot, but it says boot failed. After lots of turning on and off, I was able to get to the unlock screen. After pushing OK to the millions of crashes, I was able to get to the settings screen. I tried everything from clearing cache to factory resetting within the settings. Nothing would work. Anything to do with data would bring up a .media crash. The best I got was turning on the Bluetooth, but nothing useful can be done with it. I also tried NFC, but could never complete a transfer, which didn't matter because I could not get to his gallery anyway. I booted in safe mode a few times and always got the same results.
I tried every option possible to connect the phone to my computer. The USB never did a thing, no matter what driver I tried using. I downloaded all kinds of programs from these forums. The computer would not recognize it in fastboot either.
I told my bro he was screwed and tried a fastboot factory reset. All it does is boot the phone in the normal way, which either sticks on the droid eye or finally makes it to the unlock screen. At this point, I am raging mad.
I decided to disassemble the phone to see if removing the battery would somehow magically allow me to connect it to the computer. I currently have just the board and battery connected to a PC. I had a fastboot driver to come up for a split second, but I have no idea how or why. I am not sure if I bent the board just right, which allowed a contact to be made, but I have not been able to replicate it.
Does anyone have any ideas? The phone is screwed for sure, so if there is anything extreme I can do to save his pictures, I will do it. Thanks in advance.
Hey everyone, I've exhausted all my options (verizon, samsung, friends, google, etc) in recovering my phone. Hoping you can help.
What happened: verizon galaxy S6, stock, unsure if USB debugging was enabled (unlikely but possible, cant remember if I enabled it with this phone or my last one). I woke up and saw there was an OS update that downloaded overnight, and without thinking about it, just began the installation. The next message I saw said "installation failed" or something along those lines, can't remember exactly. After that, rebooting the phone froze on the verizon logo, and would stay until the battery died.
What I tried and what i CAN do:
Get into maintenance boot mode.
Safe mode: no change.
Simulated hard reboot: no change.
Erasing cache: No change.
Odin on phone: able to get into this from android recovery, but no program on my computer has been able to pull files or flash a rom without doing a factory reset.
Verizon wireless update assistant: Recognizes phone but can only do a factory reset, will not recover data.
Samsung smartswitch: same as above
Other details: Definitely not backed up through verizon, google, samsung (yes I am kicking myself for not going through any of these convenient services that were practically shoved down my throat).
Using a macbook, but I can get access to a PC if absolutely necessary.
When I turn my phone on, I have a yellow triangle with an exclamation point, an android with Xs for eyes rotated 45 degrees, and it goes to system recovery. When I reboot from there, it goes to a normal boot, but freezes on the verizon logo and gets stuck there.
I don't give a crap about this phone, but I have pictures from the first year of my daughter's life on it that I don't want to lose, and I was too stupid to back them up. If you can help I would be incredibly grateful. If it makes you pity me more, I've been using an iPhone 4 for a couple of weeks while I tried to sort this out on my own. I don't want to factory reset this and move on if I can save the pictures.
One last thing I tried: heimdall/jodin/flashing a stock firmware. I can consistently load odin mode and get to download mode, but jodin can't obtain the PIT file so I can't go any further.
I appreciate any help. I can just factory reset and move on, but I really don't want to lose the pictures of my daughter if I don't have to.
Yesterday as I was using my device just like I normally would. Browsing the web. It suddenly froze. Then it proceeded to shut down and turn itself back on and started the restart procedure. This is normal and since the Tablet is 4+ years old it used to sometimes shutdown during usage and turn itself on again. But this time it didn't. It showed the Amazon logo, went on the shining Fire logo and after staying on it for a while. It shuts itself off and again starts from the Amazon logo. I thought that if I just keep it doing that for a while it would fix itself. Sadly it did not. Luckily though it does boot to the Bootloader and I thought that maybe clearing the cache partitions would do the trick. It did not. Again I thought if I cleared the data it would fix it. That did not work either.
I never tried to root or do anything on that device. I didn't even have playstore installed. I use that device as my daily web browsing machine so I really need it to work.
Please Help
