Hello,
I have a broken usb and also the touch is broken....
So I can't get the photos via usb connection on the phone and can't upload photos to skydrive ...
Is there a way to get the micro sd card into the pc and get the photo out of it?
Insert to another phone with microSD or buy a Adapter "microSD to SD".
So with the adapter windows can read the sd?
Going to try it out
Of course!
Sometimes you will need install drivers, but it's no problem.
Thought that locking sd thing didn't let you use the sd after...

Warning!
You can't just remove the SD card from your device...If you do, It will be unrecognizable to other devices and PC's, you run the risk of never recovering any of the data on it.
WP7 devices security encrypts the SD card and it has to be unlocked before removing it from the device.
If you do remove the SD card make sure not to turn on your device while the SD card is out of it, otherwise your device won't recognize the SD card anymore either
If your device is Pre-Mango (which I highly doubt) some devices like a Symbian can detect it. If your on Mango/Tango there is no way anything will detect it unless you unlocking the SD card first.
Trust me I found out the hard way when I upgraded mine from 16gb to a 32gb SD card. No device will detect, format or recover any information from it and I've tried several PC's, cameras, phones, Symbian, software programs and even printer stations.
To unlock it you need to install XMod storage unlock cab. With your USB port not working I'm not sure how you'll be able to do it.

Well windows7 doesn't recognize my sd card...
also I can't do anything since the usb on my phone is broken
if you are lucky you enabled wifi sync in zune , if so you can sync with that
if not then you will never get to your data
The touch on the phone stopped working...
Seems it's a go to the trash bin phone...
So it's impossible to recover the data, when u have no phone to do it?
Is there any original wp7 phone with sd card?
That may be used to do it?

no because the sd card is locked to your phone and only your phone.
sorry but I think you will never see your data on your sd card again.
Damn...
This is so so so anoying....
[end of rant]
Sorry for my recent posts.
Why you don't repair phone? Maybe only need to change Touchscreen, also fix charging circuit?
Well, because is super expensive...
Around 100-170€ the fixing it
and I don't know if htc will flash the phone...
Or only saving all data from phone. I think you need only photos/videos? As I know, htc services only change parts or mainboards, they are not fix charging circuit or etc, when phone was broken. If give phone to htc or etc service without warranty, you can say, than they do not flash the phone.
I think, you can give the phone to other service and repair only USB.

HTC will never agree not to wipe the phone, in fact its doubtful anyone will, things happen, sometimes bad things happen, they promise not to delete stuff and something goes wrong, the next thing they have is a law suite
if your replacing the screen try do it yourself, id strongly suggest you replace both the LCD and the digitiser in one go, usually you can buy them combined which is a lot easier to install, replacing the USB socket is a bit harder but equally possible.
you might find a local tech that will can "try" to fix it all without losing everything, but they will never promise to do it.
Hello,
I've been lookng at lcd + touchscreen...
And I got a question, the ones I see on ebay (for example) say its for HTC HD2 T8585
I think my htc hd2 is the europe version, is there any problem with buying a lcd for t8585?
Hey fellas.
I've got a Nexus S, and it is totally dead. I dont know if I could call it bricked, cause it didnt happen during rooting or flashing roms etc.. It just slowly happened, first sign being that the power button didnt work properly, then after an hour or so with a few manual reboots trying to fix the power button, the phone didnt turn back on again. I've tried almost everything, but the phone wont give a single sign of life, nothing...
So my question for you guys is... is there any hope of reaching the data on my internal memory on the Nexus S? I'm pretty sure that me myself wont be able to do it, but is there anyone who knows something about if there is a way for the "repair shops" to do something about it..?
I know that I can JTAG the phone etc...but that will delete all the data from the card, and I dont want that to happen...
Thank you for suggestions
If the emmc is dead i don't see u having the data back, such an operation will cost u more than the phone and i'm sure no shop will be able to extract ur data expect if u have big money to spend and send it to a specialized company
Best bet ? count ur losses and move on, because even if you want only to fix the phone will run around 100$

Thx for answering .
Well, I dont know if the emmc card is dead or not, the card itself might aswell still be functional and good to go, only that there is something else that is messed up with the phone, like cables,connections or similar... I'm for the moment in a country where it's pretty cheap with repairing stuff, to JTAG the phone costs only about 18 Euro..
But, lets say that the emmc card is totally intact, and that the data is still on it.. arent there any emmc card readers around (I think I've seen one on amazon..), that could read the card then..? If not, shouldnt a repair shop be able to connect some cables or so to the card and extract data?

99% ur emmc is bricked, a shop needs to desolder the emmc and place it on an external programmer to withrdraw the data.
Amazon doesn't carry this type or programmers the emmc is solder on the motherboard
Go ask some shops, they will riff box it / jtag it or they will remove the emmc and read it externaly you don't have any other solutions that u can try yourself.
Please update if a shop replay to u positively about something like this thanks
So about a month ago my HTC 8x started a continuous reboot problem. Not having any time that day I went to Verizon and had them switch my service back to my old Iphone. My plan was to address the problem at a later date. I did a little bit of reading and from what I gathered I was going to have to do phone reset. That was not a viable option because I had alot of pictures of my 8 month old on that phone. I had saved some of the pictures to the cloud but there was still alot that was not backed up.
One day I decided to to take the phone apart to see if I could find the phones internal memory. Now I'd say I am fairly tech savvy but I probably should have done some more research first in regards to this phone....man what a pain. Long story short the screen is cracked, the phone wont power on at all. I don't care about the phone but I do the pictures that are on it. I was wondering if anyone on this forum knows of a way in which I can remove the internal memory of this phone. What type of memory does this phone have, where is it located, how can I get to it, and how can I get it onto my computer without having the reassemble this phone. I am aware that this phone does not have a removable internal memory card, but I have not found any info on what type of internal memory it has...is it solid state, built in sim ect...

Any info would be appreciated
Here I try to revive a cold dead Galaxy S3 SCH-I535.
This phone is in beautiful shape. The water damage mark is white background with clear red x marks. I put in a fully charged good battery. No response. I plug in the ac power cord, still nothing.
The previous owner said he was trying to reset the phone via Odin (odd, since better to do soft reset from the phone). Then Odin failed and the phone won't power up again. I believe him 90%.
Anything I can do to try to revive it? Otherwise, I may have to replace the mainboard. If I do replace the mainboard, which mainboards can I use? I have a bad Sprint S2 with a bad LCD, but I do not think I can use that since Sprint does not use a SIM slot.
You'll probably want to do this debrick method. Just a couple things, when you plug it into your computer what does it pop up as? If the person did in fact brick the phone via Odin, the linked video requires you to do this in a Linux environment. So you can either boot off a CD or use Linux if you're already set up. Lastly, you need to have a class 10 microsd card that is the exact same size as your phone's internal storage. I haven't done this personally but it's been done Sprint (linked in video) and was brought over to the Verizon GSIII (also linked in video) so it is possible. Best of luck.

The phone is totally dead, no life at all. So I think the mainboard is dead. This is what he said:
I was restoring phones software to sell with Samsung Odin program and it just went blank. I tried to reload software but I can't get it to work
I've seen some videos on replacing the mainboard. I think that is still easier than replacing the LCD. I may have to stick with the same model.

If he used odin and broke it, it isn't totally dead, just means corrupt files in the boards main memory to run the phone. This can be fixed. Totally dead would be more along the lines of dropping your phone in a pool and frying the entire board.
Plug it into the wall with the battery out, if the red light comes on you can fix it two different ways:
1. Video snoop posted, following the exact instructions.
2. Jtag repair, costs around $60.

This is great. After I removed the battery and plugged the wall charger to it, the red light comes on! So it is not totally dead.
Also, after I plugged it into my Win7-64 machine, it shows as "QHSUSB_DLOAD" device. There are some posts about this already on the almost dead Android devices.
I'll do more research and maybe this phone can be revived. I thought it was totally dead since none of the lights turn on.
Thanks the great folks here.
Where to Find emmc dump?
Do you folks know where I can find the "emmc dump" for this phone? So I can use it to debrick my S3? Thanks.

Got it.
I gave it a first try and it did not work. Part of the reason is that I could not follow the direction 100%.
I used a Sandisk 32GB microUSB. I may need a 16GB drive. Also, the card does not say it is class 10.
Then my old card is crappy and I could not use it. So I used a GE camera and used the camera as a card reader. I have no problem getting the SD card recognized under ubuntu.
I copied the the disk image to the SD drive as directed. It sees 23 partitions. However, when I put in the SD card in my desktop, I only see one partition, which is about 64MB. I do not know if this is normal.
I'll try to get a class 10 16GB and a good card reader to go with it.

You definitely need the specific class 10 sd card that matches your internal memory and follow the directions exactly. You'll get it though, sounds like you're persistent enough.
The idea behind it is tricking your phone into thinking that card is your internal memory, it won't work without the size being the same.

I'll keep it trying to see how it goes. Thx for the help.
I do not know if the debrick.img method really works. I've watched the video from this Verizon forum, but he never showed the phone, not the computer screen, but just talking. I've heard some other folks (Sprint, etc.,) get it work. But I just do not know....
I've got a new card reader and a Class 10 16GB micro SD card. I followed the procedure precisely. But the phone is still cold, 95% dead. When I mounted the SD card under Linux, it complains about the corrupt GPT table. I ran "parted" command (as directed), but the command blew up and never completed. Many other folks did not even mention parted command.
I'm puzzled..... Does it really work?

Hi
Follow the instructions in this video exactly, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU5H8NJ7vTM&hd=1
chances are you can repair yourself. Here is OP http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2504066
Good luck
I watched that video and followed the steps exactly. But it is still no-go.
Also, in that video, the OP never showed any phone, or any of his work. He only claimed in the forum that his phone vibrated. I sent him PM twice, but never any response. It appears the OP is into iPhone more recently.
I also PM'ed other two folks who claimed this worked, at other forums here. But again, never any response. So I do not know if this method really works.
If anyone can get it work, I'd be happy to send my MB to him/her and pay the postage.
Just made the mistake of flashing the firmware for a Sprint SGS3 to my Verizon SGS3 (not modem, just sbl, rpm and tz). I'm hoping this YouTube tutorial will fix my situation.
Anyone know if there's a way to manually push those files to the SGS3? The device is completely dead, except the red light does come on when plugging into the wall without the battery.

That XDA link seems to be broken (Chrome / Mac)
This is exactly what is happening with my I535. I was never able to boot the phone with the SD card. Some folks claim this procedure works, but I've never been able to get anyone to confirm with me. I believe some of them just have soft bricked phone.
I've pretty much given up on it. Swapping mainboard is not that expensive....
Hi everybody,
I open this thread because I'm desperate. The Galaxy S7 is my 4th Android device and I had a problem of corrupted photos at least with the 3 last devices. I bought the S7 partly with the hope of say goodbye to this fuc**** problem.
But here we are, I have the S7 since a month now and it gave me already tons of corrupted photos. On my previous Xpiera devices I use various AOSP ROM and now I use King ROM on my S7 and the problem frequency still exactly the same. (I was expecting a solution by using stock based ROM.)
Speaking of the problem, here is the descption of it:
- About 1 out of 20 times (to be nice) I got corrupted photos with a varible sized grey rectangle. (See 2nd picture enclosed)
- That's new with the S7: sometimes there is no grey rectangle but a big problem of colors. (See 1st picture enclosed - I just add blue rectangles over faces)
I hope you have ideas about my problem. :fingers-crossed:
I don't understand why this problem still persists over different devices. I also already tried few microSD card.
Don't hesitate to share any idea or ask me for details if you don't understand my average English.
Thanks in advance! :good:
Pretty weird... did you try shoot with selfiestick? I guess you`ve high EM field emitted by your hands.
P.S. I`m not kidding at all!
Have you tried a different ROM? formatted your phone and /data in TWRP?

Hi and thanks for this (surprising) idea. I guess EM meanselectromagnetic.
I didn't have a selfiestick but I just tried to take photos with a big magnet next to my phone and all photos were ok. So EM doesn't seem to produce corrupted photos.
It's a ramdom bug, sometimes all is ok for almost few weeks and then (for example yesterday) I got 4 corrupted photos in the 15 photos I took.
There is some threads on internet where people complain about grey rectangles in there photos but nobody seems to found a solution.
I have to say that I'm a bit frustrated to pay over 500€ for a flagship smartphone and still have this kind of issues...

Did you switch to King ROM because stock gave you the same problems? If not, you might want to give stockTouchwiz a try

No I switched to Stock based Custom ROM because I just can't support Stock ROM.
It's not conceivable that I use the stock Samsung ROM daily, I prefer sell my phone than have to use this kind of heavy and no-functional ROM. I would prefer a AOSP based ROM but Samsung high end devices doesn't offer that.
Nevermind! :silly:
I sould try a stock ROM for a couple of days but no more. Maybe next weekend.

Allright, hopefully (in your case) it doesn't change anything and thus you won't have to switch to stoxk

Are you using the same SD card in each device? It is possible that the card is causing the issues with the files.

This is exactly what I thought.
Try to save the photos in phone memory, not in the external SD card and see if this still give you corrupted photos. If not, then the SD card is most likely corrupt (should not be repaired with just a format. Buy a new one instead)
Had exactly the same problem of corrupted images. Even worse, my phone just crashed on the gallery app, requiring reboot with power+volume down.
Remove the sd card. The sd card is causing it, either get a good new one, or use the internal memory of the phone.
Havn't had a corrupted image/video or crash since i removed it, and in general its faster too.
I used at least 3 different sd cards in my phones.
First I used a 16GB card with no precise specifications and I don't remember if I had this problem of corrupted pictures with this card.
Then I bought a 32GB Samsung card with (in theory) a reading speed of 70MB/s and a writing speed of 20MB/s. I used this card in my 2nd and 3rd phone and I get corrupted pictures with it.
Currently I use a Lexar 64GB card with real speeds of 43MB/s in reading and 36MB/s in writing. I used this card in my 3rd and 4th (the S7) phone and obviously I get corrupted pictures with it.
Did you think that the Lexar's speeds are too low?
It's strange because I can shoot over 100 pictures in burst mode or 4k video without any problem.
Concerning internal storage, I bought the S7 in part because I want to save my datas in external storage. I want to be able to get my datas even if I crash my phone.
So I will not adopt internal saving as a solution.
You're not using an aftermarket flip case with a magnetic latch on it are you?

No I use a silicon case without magnet.
I just noticed that my Lexar 64GB card gives a reading speed of 41MB/s and a writing speed of 24MB/s when I use "A1 SD Bench" app. So my card seems slower in my phone than in my laptop benchmarck.
I don't think 24MB/s is realy too low but it is 10MB/s less than laptop benchmarck.

Of cause not, but to narrow the problem you have to know if it has something to do with ROM, camera, SD card, etc.
At least you can try! Maybe after checking the files aer ok, you can move them to SD card. That would be another test if SD card works in the device. Maybe the connection is partly broken?
