So, here's the problem - I was just using my phone normally, when it froze - no big deal, recently it has been getting slower and I was just planning on factory resetting it after I back up everything. But, when it booted and went on the start screen, it says "Scanning USB storage for problems" or something like that and it says then "Damaged USB Storage -You may have to reformat it" and unmounts my SD card, so, I have no storage altogether. When I click on the notification it asks if I want to format USB storage. I just want to know if there's a way of retrieving some files, because in my phone FIle Manager there's nothing, and when I connect it to the PC (Windows XP), it doesn't dettect any stotage, if I do it through "USB Utilities" on my phone it shows two Removable Disks on my computer, which are empty, when I click on them it just says "insert disk into drive", and if I click "Turn on USB Storage" on my phone it just keeps on trying to connect, but can't.
I tried restarting it, taking the battery out, booting without an SD card, booting into safe mode, using adb to pull some files, searched the internet for a few hours but to no avail, found this "Tenoshare Android Data Recovery" but it needs root, which I'm not, so I tried rooting it with SuperOneClick - doesn't work, tried installing super user from the recovery menu from SD card, but it can't install it - I'm wondering if it's wortht it. So, now I don't know what to do - do I root my phone using the methods here (with odin and etc) and use that utility, do I just factory reset it (maybe try recovering files after I've reset it?), or is there any other available option to somehow recover the files? I'm on Android 4.0.4 unrooted with Baseband version I9103XXLQ3 - I had installed it a few years ago (my phone came with 2.3.6 and I just followed the instructions here on updating my firmware).
I'll be very grateful with any help, I just had a few more important files and the last time I backed up was in December, so any help is appreciated

HELP!!! yes , its that bad and frustrating for me. THIS IS HTC Incredible .
What happened?
I installed the latest CM7#218, and the phone never was able to restart. It was giving the '3-5 vibrates' symptom. After managing to get into recovery mode, i couldnt see anything from SD card. I later erased and reformatted the sd card but to no use.
In detail:
1. Installed CM7#218.
2. phone restart gives 3-5 vibrate symptom, cant even get into recovery mode.
3. tried factory reset , sd card reformat,repair from windows but doesnt help.
4. only when i unplug the device, power on or when i click on recovery mode, and while on the HTC splash screen, if I connect charger, ONLY then i can get into recovery mode or start the base CM7 OS.
5. in recovery mode i cannot see card , tried all possible mounts/unmounts. thus unable to restore any backups
6 when the base OS boots, (using point#4 above), i still cannot see sd card, nor able to format from phone. in file manager i can see my internal storage. But the phone does not give me any usb mount option , so cannot even view the internal memory from windows.
7. referred to the following thread and many other options etc, but doesnt work.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6...ernal-storage/
the adb shell does not detect my device, tried using 'PDANET' ' ends with 'cannot handshake with device'. tried installing droidexplorer, cannot see my device in the refresh list.
8. Thus as it stands now, i cannot use my internal as well external memory, the web downloads wont go, saying cannot see any memory, same for camera, it cannot see any memory available to it.
9. have already tried N number of restarts, connect disconnect and battery pulls.
10. tried even running the unrevoked, but it cannot connect to device.
11. tried installing all possible drivers as well.
12. its surely not bricked cuz i can use the base OS, and get into recovery through #4 tactics.
HELP!!
I just updated several things on my Sensation. First, I updated from Energy Oct 18 to Energy Oct 22 ROM; second, I updated from Stock Kernel to Bricked v1.4; third, I updated from CWMR 4.0.1.4 to CWMR 5.0.2.0.
Everything is working fine, except for the fact that I can't figure out how to mount my SD Card when connected to my computer via USB right now. After rebooting after updating CWMR, I wanted to install Amaze camera v7.
I can't figure out why I can't mount the disk drive because I didn't change any settings. I have USB debugging enabled, and even in "connect to pc" when I set the default connection type to "disk drive" nothing happens. I also tried unplugging the USB cable and plugging it back in, but I still can't get the phone to bring up the prompt asking how I want to connect (and before you ask, I have it set to "ask me about USB connection type whenever I connect my phone to a PC). What do you guys think the problem is? Is it CWMR 5.0.2.0? If it is, I'll gladly change over to that EXT4 Recovery.
Remove you sd card and return it back to the phone.
It sounds like a problem with the SD card. As said above, try removing it and reinserting it.
Or if you have an SD carrier for it, try using that to read it in another reader and format it.
My friend bought a gemini JoyTab 8112 for his son which has now stopped working. He said he tried to do something where he swapped the sd card for the external sd card by editing a file called vold.fstab. He created no backup, though I think he saved the original file (I hope).
I've got it at the moment and it will only boot when plugged in to my computer via usb. However, it shows neither internal or external sd cards and when I go to settings/storage I get a message reading 'Unfortunately, settings has stopped' I click ok, it goes back to the prior screen.
It also won't connect to my computer as a USB device so I can't use adb or Android commander to get into it.
I can enter the recovery menu so I thought I could try and install wirelessadb.apk but I really don't know how to install an apk through boot menu. I've tried reading the forums but, tbh, it's hard to understand how to create an apk to install in the recovery menu.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I've looked all over for a solution and usually, anything I can't solve myself, I can find a solution here but this one is drawing a blank.
Fixed. Turned out it was a driver issue of Windows why the pads wouldn't connect. Switched to laptop and worked immediately.
I havesamsung galaxy s Gt I9003,It has a strange situation.when it is restored to factory settings, it does not go back to basic settings but it still has the previous applications installed.Even user account still exists.When installed applications are uninsatlled,they come back after some time..Same is the case with user account that it cannot be removed.I have inserted no external memory card.i connected phone to pc and start usb debugging..i formatted phone internal usb storage.But most strange thing is that nothing is deleted in this storage although computer says that drive is formatted successfully.I reconnect the phone to the computer and look everything is still there,,,even after mannualy deleting files ie songs photos,they are back again....What kind of fault is this?
Most important is that a virus is spread from phone internal usb to my whole hard disk of computer which i cleared by usuing kaspersky,,I also scan phone usb storage..,kaspersky detects virus and deletes it..But it is still in there..
And last but not least,,I fllashed it with all versions of Froyo and gingerbread but that bloody user account and his applications are still there..Can you believe this,everything is intact in phone usb even after formatting it in recovery mood.
Final thing,actually no application run on this phone.if it is started,an error message is popped that" application(---) has stopped unexpectedly.please try again".This handset has no warranty.
Please somebody help

I would suggest you to try and do a factory reset once more from settings . If that also doesn't work then u can do a hard reset . There's a guide somewhere by Adi_Pat which shows how u can do a hard reset. There is a small button beside the camera for the hard reset . Let me see if i can find the link for you .
EDIT : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411768
Hard reset is to recover a soft bricked phone . May be u can ignore this for now.
One more thing i would suggest is to flash stock from odin . Start afresh from kpe using repartition and pit files . That should do the trick. And an advice is dont use the virus infected machine to flash . Try with a different machine and report back .
try this code in dialer

Same sa Before
Thank you brother for your reply.
I have tried your advised trick six times but it did not help.I flashed it with Froyo DXKF1 and then with gingerbread KPE.As before,when phone is started after flashing,five or six messages pop up automatically about various applications.These messages are like this one.
"Sorry!The application Flowers live Wallpaper(process com.parindeyapps.flowers) has stopped unexpectedly.please try again"
Same messages appear about other applaications eg Vault,Skype etc..
No external memory card is present in phone.
And,i have described in first post about virus..This virus is present in phone internal usb storage,not in the pc.It infected the pc after connecting phone to it..Kaspersky cleared this virus from pc but not from phone.
Same sa Before
no brother,,this code did not help..same situation after rastarting
Dear Community,
The day before yesterday's evening, my Lenovo YT3-X50L Tablet suddenly shut off. When I tried to boot, It showed me the login screen, I logged in, but one second after showing the Home Screen it crashed and rebooted. I logged in again - it crashed and rebooted again. I couldn't get into my device anymore.
I tried to use the recovery and made a factory reset, after which it showed me the usual Google setup menu (language, wifi, etc.). But it always got stuck at getting a wifi connection, although status was already "connected" and the wifi was working.
I erased the system partition (I don't know if this was a good idea...) and now i cannot boot into anywhere, I only see the Lenovo logo when starting.
I installed ADB, Fastboot and Lenovo downloader on a Laptop. After some hard work, I managed to get an ADB connection and could backup my data.
So now, I just want to put my device back into the state it was when it was shipped!
What I want to mention first: It seems that my sd card was corrupted, I don't know if this was the reason or has anything to do with my sudden device failure. I noticed this because of a mount error in recovery. I formatted the sdcard to FAT with the laptop and the mount error is gone now. The sd card was set as internal storage in Android. If this is possible, I would prefer to use any tool like fastboot to de-assign the sd card as internal storage, and only use the device's own internal 16GB storage, which is more than enough for basic functioning.
I downloaded the device's stock ROM from firmwarefile (just search "Lenovo YT3-X50L stock rom" on google, it's the first result, I am not allowed to post links in this forum as i am a new user) but I don't know how to properly flash it. Flashing the system_xx.img, boot.img, userdata_xx.img and recovery.img files (fastboot flash blabla blabla.img) doesn't make the device boot.
The Lenovo downloader tool isn't working for me. I installed the Qualcomm drivers as described and when I start my device with USB cable connected it shows up in the Tool window, status "flashing", but then gets stuck and doesn't seem to do anything.
Please Help! Might the device itself be dead? I would be very glad if we could resolve the issue very soon because I am on a trip to CERN at the moment and will travel back in a week, and I don't have any other mobile devices with me I could use to show the flight ticket...
My data is already saved, as I mentioned before - I just want my working device back!
