[Completed] recover photos/music in download mode

Hi,
I have a sgs2 that only boots into download mode. I have photos and music on the internal SD card that I'm afraid will get deleted if I flash stock using Odin. I searched the forum but couldn't find a guide on how to recover files in download mode.
Device information:
I9100
Unlocked (no contract)
No external SD
Rooted
Slimkat build 5
Only boots if connected to a charging cable
I think there's a possibility that it's a hardware issue since I didn't download anything that modifies the recovery and it was working fine for a couple months on slimkat before it suddenly stopped booting.

[Completed] [Q] [HELP] Galaxy S Advance CM11 doesn't turn on

I was using CM11 on my Galaxy S Advance for a few months, today I restarted my phone and it was showing the CM11 Boot Animation normally, then it showed up the lockscreen and then turned off instantly showing the CM11 Boot Animation again. I did a factory reset with my CWM, everything got fine, then I restarted my phone again and it was in that kind of bootloop again. Can someone help me? (I can't reinstall CM11 because when I plug my USB cable in my phone, Windows doesn't detect it, and I can't put CM11 ZIPs in my phone)

Hi,
You don't have a nandroid backup from CWM you can restore? Having a good backup kept on the phone is always essential in this hobby. No cm rom zip either that you can install from on the phone? Without either, you may need to Odin flash stock to your device. But for other advice, or help with any of my suggestions, you can ask here...

[Completed] Soft bricked Galaxy S2 - please help

Hey guys
I have been trying to resuscitate my friend´s Galaxy S2 for weeks and can´t figure it out. The point is we don´t want to wipe the phone as we want to save the data (contacts and pics that the friend did not save elsewehere).
What happened:
My friend opened Shazam, the phone powered off and has been stuck on the flashing Samsung logo screen.
I can access the recovery mode and download mode.
What I have tried so far:
Dowloaded appropriate JB ROM from Sam Mobile, tried flashing with Odin - the phone got hanging on "Upgrading Android OS, starting applications" screen.
Rebooted, hanging at the flashing Samsung logo screen.
Then I tried loading CWM from SD card, but this probably overwrote the original ROM as I could not access the recovery mode afterwards.
Tried flashing again to Jelly Bean.
Still stuck at the flashing Samsung logo screen.
Basically, is there any way how to recover the data only, without making the phone fully functional (or wiping the phone first)?
Any advice is welcome, thank you!
